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

Just when everyone was laughing in the room, Xiao Ruzi lifted the curtain and came in.

"Miss."

Heather Creek smiled,

Looked over:

"what happened?"

Xiao Ruzi stood at the door for a while, and only came over when she felt the coldness in her body had dissipated.

"Your Highness, I just received news that the Emperor scolded all the princes when he went to check on their studies not long ago. The Crown Prince was singled out for being rash and was punished to copy the Heart Sutra. The eldest prince was also punished to copy the Essentials of Governance from Various Books, and the fourth prince was also asked to copy the Analects of Confucius."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.

Shi Nanxi stopped smiling, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"What happened today?"

Xiao Ruzi lowered his voice and said:

"I heard that it snowed heavily recently, and snowstorms occurred in various places. It snowed in the capital for several days in a row. The emperor was worried that the capital would also be hit by a snowstorm, so he asked people in the court to propose defensive measures. As a result, the prince was absent-minded during the court session. When the emperor called him, he almost couldn't answer, which made the emperor quite angry."

So that's how it is. The prince is the next crown prince. If he doesn't pay attention to state affairs, Kangxi will definitely be angry. He is the one who can't tolerate anyone neglecting state affairs. But the prince is not like this normally!

At this moment, Shi Nanxi suddenly had an idea and asked:

"How is Shi Rongyue doing recently? Is her health improving?"

Xiao Ruzi was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Since the death of little Prince Hong'an, Concubine Shi has been depressed and bedridden. Her health has not improved. Not long ago, I heard that she caught a cold. It's been more than half a month. I don't know if she has recovered."

"You've had a cold for more than half a month?"

Shi Nanxi's heart skipped a beat. In ancient times, colds could kill people. Could it be...

At this time, Xiao Ruzi said again:

"I am not too sure. After all, we are in Changchun Garden, and the fences of the Fourth Prince's residence are quite tight, so there is rarely any news coming out."

Seeing that the queen was concerned, Xiao Ruzi thought for a moment and said:

"My lady, how about I go and ask around?"

Shi Nanxi pursed her lips and nodded, and Xiao Ruzi soon left. After a long time, he came back covered in snow.

Seeing that Xiao Ruzi's face was red from the cold and his body was trembling, Shi Nanxi didn't bother to ask and said quickly:

"Don't stand at the door anymore, go warm yourself over here by the charcoal fire first."

Xiao Ruzi felt warm at heart when he heard this, but he waited until the coldness in his body dissipated before he came over and put his hands over the charcoal fire. The warm feeling finally stopped his trembling.

He relaxed his brows and reported:

"Your Majesty, I have consulted the servants around the Fourth Prince and learned that Concubine Shi's cold has not been cured. It keeps coming back. She has seen the imperial physician and taken medicine but it won't get better. Some people even say in private that she may not be able to recover."

After hearing this, Shi Nanxi's heart sank. It was just as she had guessed.

Shi Rongyue was originally ill because someone had plotted against her when she gave birth to Hongan, and her body was not well-nourished. After Hongan's death, she was depressed and had to stay in bed. Her physical condition deteriorated and she became weak, which led to repeated colds.

But Shi Rongyue is still very young, how could his health be so poor?

This doubt flashed through Shi Nanxi's mind, and he immediately thought of the prince. He roughly guessed why the other party was acting abnormally, and he was afraid that he had learned about Shi Rongyue's illness.

The reason why she had this guess was that since Shi Rongyue married the Fourth Prince, the Prince had no contact with the Fourth Prince again. However, Wenxi, who was by the Prince's side, was present in person at Hong'an's funeral.

The prince was somewhat arrogant in nature. If he said that he might be impeached for not sending anyone to Yuqing Palace because he was worried that Hong'an was the eldest grandson, then wouldn't he be able to shut up the court and the public by sending a steward?

Who is Ke Wenxi? He is the prince’s personal servant and most trusted person.

It was because of this that she realized that the prince still hadn't let go of Shi Rongyue. She was puzzled at first, but then she began to understand.

Because she remembered that when Shi Rongyue had just traveled through time, the temperament that she possessed, which was different from that of the ancients, was actually quite attractive.

The prince was a genuine ancient person, and Shi Rongyue was so special that of course she was very attractive to him. The women he had met before were basically submissive and flattering, but Shi Rongyue did not care about his identity as a prince, and instead treated him as an equal.

It is not difficult to understand that the prince would fall in love with such a special woman, just like the first love in modern times.

What's more, in the end, Shi Rongyue abandoned him and ran to the Fourth Prince, which was even more impressive and he couldn't figure it out and let it go.

"I understand. I will pay attention to Shi Rongyue's news from now on."

Xiao Ruzi should retreat.

After everyone left, Madam Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"My Lady, do you think the Crown Prince's abnormal behavior is related to Concubine Shi?"

"I am just guessing." Shi Nanxi pursed her lips and said, "The emperor might have guessed this as well, which is why he is so angry."

She sighed:

"Hongying, I remember the kitchen has prepared a pot today. Please ask the emperor if he has time to come over for dinner."

When you are in a bad mood, eating some delicious food can soothe your soul. After all, Kangxi is not young anymore, and getting angry is really harmful to his health.

In the Jiujing Sanshi Hall, snowflakes were falling all over the sky outside, but inside the hall it was warm as spring. However, the servants who were serving were all holding their breath, not daring to make a sound. With a "bang", the table was slammed hard.

"These good-for-nothings who only know how to flatter others dare to embezzle even the disaster relief funds. They are simply parasites of the country."

Liang Jiugong shrank his neck, Kangxi raised his face with anger and said coldly:

"Come here, remove Liu Zhihuan from his post and escort him back to Beijing."

"Yes." Soon the guard outside the door received the order.

The hall was as quiet as a cold pond.

At this moment, Xiao Fuzi, who was standing at the door, saw Hongying coming and was like seeing a savior. As soon as Hongying walked to the corridor, he ran to her and said excitedly:

"Hey, Miss Hongying, why are you here? What instructions does the Imperial Concubine Xian have for you?"

Seeing Xiao Fuzi's expression, Hongying understood what was going on and said with a smile:

"The kitchen has prepared a pot today. Her Majesty has asked me to ask His Majesty if he has time to eat."

Xiao Fuzi was about to speak when Kangxi's voice came from the hall.

"Xiao Fuzi, who are you talking to?"

Xiao Fuzi shrank his neck in fear.

Hurry into the house and report.

"Your Majesty, it's Miss Hongying from the Imperial Concubine Xian who is here. Do you want to see her?"

Hearing that it was someone close to the little girl, Kangxi's gloomy expression eased a little. Seeing this, Liang Jiugong quickly swung his whisk and said:

"Send it to Miss Hongying."

Outside the door, Hongying stepped over the threshold with lowered head and bowed.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed."

Kangxi looked at Hongying and said:

"How is the Imperial Concubine today?"

"Your Majesty, everything is fine with Her Majesty. It's just that it's snowing and cold today. Her Majesty asked the kitchen to prepare a pot. I want to ask if you have time to come over for dinner."

Kangxi looked at the sky and realized that it was time for dinner. He said:

"Tell your queen that I will be there later."

"It's the Emperor."

Hongying withdrew after receiving the reply, and Kangxi's anger gradually dissipated. He thought of several candidates and finally chose a member of the Guwalgiya clan's branch to replace Liu Zhihuan. After making some arrangements, he set off for Danningju.

When they arrived at Danning Residence, the hot pot was already on the table. Shi Nanxi was now more than nine months pregnant, and her belly was like a big watermelon, bulging high. When she saw Kangxi coming in, she was about to get up from the couch, but was stopped by Kangxi:

"Don't move, you're heavy."

Shi Nanxi didn't try to be brave after hearing this. After a while, the coldness in Kangxi's body dissipated and he came over.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable today? Is Yinyi behaving well? Did he kick you?"

Kangxi sat down next to Shi Nanxi, his eyes fell on her bulging belly and asked.

Shi Nanxi said in a gentle voice:

"I'm not feeling unwell. Yinyi is very well behaved and didn't kick me."

"That's good." Kangxi gently touched Shi Nanxi's belly, then looked up at her and said gently:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Shi Nanxi held Kangxi's hand and lowered her voice:

"Your Majesty has worked even harder and has lost weight. Let's eat quickly."

Kangxi felt warm in his heart.
