Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Shi Nanxi still had that faint smile on her face. Shi Yiyao couldn't tell what she was thinking, but she clenched her hands quietly.

Yes, why couldn't Shi Nanxi really want to find her to consolidate her favor and have children with her?

Outside the palace, she and her mother guessed countless reasons why Shi Nanxi was infertile.

The claim of favoritism was fake. The emperor actually treated her as a toy in private and refused to let Shi Nanxi give birth to a child.

Another case is that Shi Nanxi was born with dystocia. Although her body seemed to be fine on the surface, her foundation was actually damaged and could not be repaired, which made it difficult for her to get pregnant.

In the end, it was because the emperor was too old that Shi Nanxi failed to get pregnant.

But thinking about the last time she saw the emperor with her own eyes, Shi Yiyao immediately denied this guess. It was impossible. The emperor looked young and strong, so how could he not be able to make a woman pregnant.

Combining Shi Nanxi's attitude with the fact that she had witnessed the emperor's favor towards her, Shi Yiyao's eyes suddenly brightened, so the second guess was the truth.

Shi Nanxi was unable to give birth, and was afraid that her beauty would fade and her love would wane, and she would have no young prince to rely on in the future, so he decided to let her enter the palace to have a child.

At this moment, Shi Yiyao's mind was full of ideas and he thought of the rumors from the past few days.

Even if Shi Nanxi was not in the palace, how could there be no movement in Chuxiu Palace? The servants in Chuxiu Palace must have known what Shi Nanxi was thinking, and that's why they allowed the rumors to spread.

After coming to this conclusion, Shi Yiyao's heart started beating rapidly.

If it was really as she guessed, she wouldn't need to say anything, Shi Nanxi would beg her. When she got married, she would see how those beauties in the Tiyuan Palace would laugh at her.

Shi Nanxi, at the top, held a teacup and admired Shi Yiyao's changing facial expressions.

Without asking, she knew what she was thinking. She was just daydreaming in broad daylight.

When Shi Yiyao finally came back to her senses, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and pretended not to understand:

"What do you mean, Madam? I dare not even think of this."

Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi put down the teacup, pretended to be disappointed, and her expression became dull.

"Is that so? Third sister doesn't want to enter the palace, then I..."

Shi Yiyao was still waiting for Shi Nanxi to bow her head and beg her, but she was stunned when she heard that.

Why did you give up the idea so quickly? She didn't dare to pretend to be reserved anymore. She didn't want to experience the warmth and coldness of the people in the Body Yuan Palace anymore, so she quickly interrupted:

"No, no, no, your Majesty, I am willing to enter the palace."

Seeing that Shi Nanxi seemed unconvinced, she became anxious and said again:

"Your Majesty, I am sincere in what you said. I am willing to enter the palace to help you. In fact, I have been wanting to help you share your worries before I entered the palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shi Nanxi suddenly raised her hands slowly and clapped her hands. The disappointment on her face turned into a half-smile.

"It turns out that before entering the palace, Third Sister had wanted to help me share my worries. No wonder after the rumors came out, Third Sister remained silent. Instead, she acted like the future Empress, and was treated like a star by everyone. It was so glorious."

At this moment, no matter how stupid Shi Yiyao was, she knew that everything that had happened before was just a test by Shi Nanxi, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty, I... I just saw that you have no children, so I want to help you. I am sincere, and this is also to help the Shi family!"

Shi Yiyao, who was kneeling on the ground, walked to Shi Nanxi and explained anxiously.

"Are you sincere about this for me?" Shi Nanxi put her hand away and looked at Shi Yiyao with amusement.

Shi Yiyao nodded frantically, but the next moment, Shi Nanxi suddenly leaned over and pinched Shi Yiyao's chin, then lifted it up suddenly and looked into her eyes carefully.

"Before you say this, put away your ambitions. I don't need you to share my worries. As for helping the Shi family..."

She looked at Shi Yiyao with a calm expression:

"Have you asked my mother's opinion? My father's opinion? The opinions of the elders? Or the opinion of the head of the Guaerjia clan, the direct branch of the clan? Do they agree with you helping the Shi family?"

With each word of these opinions, Shi Yiyao's face turned paler, until finally not a trace of blood remained.

She pursed her lips and was speechless for a long time. She really did not ask those people for their opinions. This was just her and her mother's plan.

Seeing this, Shi Nanxi stopped laughing.

Lightly said:

"Whether I give birth to a child or not is none of your business. Don't use the excuse of giving birth to a child for me or for my family to pursue your own selfish desires. I feel sick for my future child."

After saying that, she suddenly shook Shi Yiyao's chin away and wiped her fingers carefully with a handkerchief.

Shi Yiyao fell to one side and fell to the ground, his eyes suddenly turning red.

She looked up at Shi Nanxi who was looking down at her from above, as if she were just a dirty thing. She instantly lost her mind and said viciously:

"Don't think you can be domineering just because you are a concubine. Now the news has spread all over the palace. Even if you don't want me to enter the palace, the emperor will let me enter."

Even if the rumors were false, they had spread that she was about to enter the palace to secure Concubine Xian's favor and give birth to a child. The emperor would not let her leave the palace to marry just for the sake of his face.

Then he became complacent again:

"And if I can't enter the palace, my reputation will be ruined. Aren't you afraid that people will criticize you and call you vicious, even capable of harming your own sisters? Then your reputation for kindness and generosity that you have worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant."

Looking at Shi Yiyao's confident look, Shi Nanxi was sure that the other party was really "naive".

She wondered what it meant to be an emperor and what power was. A real emperor didn't need to be particularly proud, because no one in or outside the palace dared to disrespect Kangxi.

As for her reputation of "working hard", it is even more ridiculous. That is only because she is lazy and does not want to manage it.

Seeing that Shi Nanxi didn't care at all and even had a smiling expression on her face, Shi Yiyao almost bit her teeth.

Is there anything wrong with what she said? That's the emperor. No matter how favored Shi Nanxi is, how dare she disregard the emperor's face?

Reputation also concerns her own prestige and interests!

"What are you laughing at?" Shi Yiyao couldn't help but ask.

Shi Nanxi smiled even wider.

"Laughing at your stupidity!"

Without waiting for Shi Yiyao to speak again,

She added:

"Today I will let you know whether I dare to act tyrannically. Hongying, pass on my order. The concubine Shi Yiyao is unwell and cannot participate in the concubine study for the time being. She is recuperating in the Tiyuan Palace. No one is allowed to disturb her. After the re-selection is over, she will be sent back to the palace."

"No, you can't do this..." Shi Yiyao widened her eyes, unable to believe that Shi Nanxi actually dared to give the order.

Shi Nanxi rested her chin on her hand and looked at Shi Yiyao with a smile.

"Why can't I send the concubine Shi Yiyao back to the Tiyuan Palace?"

After that, Hongying and Zixia who came in asked Shi Yiyao to leave.

Shi Yiyao was really scared. She cried and kowtowed, but Shi Nanxi remained indifferent. In the end, Shi Yiyao was forcibly dragged away.

After everyone left, Nanny Yang refilled the Empress's tea cup.

"Your Majesty, are you just going to let the Third Princess go like this?"

"Let it go?"

Shi Nanxi picked up the teacup, gently brushed away the tea foam, and curled the corners of her lips.

"Do you think Shi Yiyao will be fine after leaving the palace? She has lost her reputation and no one dares to marry her. More importantly, she has offended me. How can the family forgive her? I have never been a soft-hearted person. Sometimes, cutting flesh with a blunt knife is more unbearable than cutting it directly and neatly."

As for why a fig leaf was added, it was also for the sake of the women in the Shi family. Other girls in the family should not be implicated because of Shi Yiyao.

Nanny Yang suddenly realized.

"I was not thoughtful enough."

Shi Nanxi smiled. She was always cautious, and at this time she reminded him:

"Shi Yiyao has ordered people to keep a close eye on both the light and dark places. As long as we are still in the palace, we must not relax even a little bit."

"I'll arrange it right away." Nanny Yang went down to make arrangements immediately.

Soon the news of the Chuxiu Palace spread throughout the six palaces, and everyone was discussing the matter everywhere.

"I told you so. The Emperor rests in Chuxiu Palace every day. How could Concubine Xian need to keep her favor? It's a joke!"

"But it is true that Concubine Xian has been childless for a long time. It is not impossible for her to summon a blood-related concubine's sister to the palace to give birth to a child. I didn't expect that I was wrong."

Hearing this, the palace maid next to her became unhappy.

"Of course you guessed wrong. Besides, it's not that Concubine Xian is unable to have children. She just hasn't given birth for the sake of the Emperor. Compared to having children, Concubine Xian cares more about the Emperor. The Emperor knows this, and that's why he dotes on Concubine Xian so much."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Just as a few palace maids were chatting lazily, a young eunuch who was sweeping the floor silently had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Compared to offspring, Concubine Xian cares more about the emperor?

After the palace maids left, the young eunuch secretly spread the news again.
