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

The next day, the snow stopped and Shi Nanxi finally woke up. As soon as she moved, Hongying, who was standing beside the bed, noticed her immediately. She opened the bed curtains in surprise and said:

"My lady, you finally woke up. How are you? Are you hungry?"

Shi Nanxi felt a little pain in her stomach, but she could still bear it. In order not to worry Hongying, she said:

"I'm hungry. Very hungry. I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow." This was the truth. She was really very hungry at the moment.

However, before Hongying could speak, Kangxi's voice came from behind the screen:

"Go get your queen some food! She's so hungry she could eat a cow! Don't let her starve to death, or I'll be heartbroken."

The next moment, Kangxi came over from outside the screen holding Yinyi.

He spoke to Hongying, but he was looking at Shi Nanxi.

Hongying covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and said quickly:

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will go right away."

Shi Nanxi looked at Kangxi who was walking towards her, and subconsciously touched her face, feeling refreshed. She must have wiped it, and then she said:

"How come the emperor is here? I am very ugly now because I am in confinement after childbirth. And what I said is true. I am really hungry now. I can even eat a whole cow."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the swaddling baby in Kangxi's arms.

Liang Jiugong quickly brought an embroidered stool and placed it beside the bed. Kangxi sat down holding Yinyi, his eyes full of smiles.

"How can she be ugly? I think Nanxi is the most beautiful in the world." After saying that, he deliberately said to the swaddling clothes in his arms:

"Xiao Yinyi, do you think your mother is the most beautiful person in the world? But now she can eat a cow. Why don't we, father and son, come and see how the most beautiful person in the world eats a cow?"

Shi Nanxi looked at Yin Yi in the cradle, ignoring Kangxi's teasing, staring at him without blinking, and after a while she couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, do you think that our Yin Yi seems to be a little bigger than yesterday, and his skin is smoother and whiter."

Kangxi carefully observed Yinyi in his arms after hearing this, and after a while he agreed:

"It has grown a bit. When it was born yesterday, its skin didn't look too wrinkled, but it was still a bit wrinkled. Now it looks a lot smoother. As for its whiteness, it's probably like you."

Hearing this, Shi Nanxi's eyes curved and her gaze lingered on Yin Yi.

Yinyi also looked at Shi Nanxi with wet eyes, as if he recognized her as his mother. He made a few "ah" sounds, which made Shi Nanxi and Kangxi, the parents, almost melt their hearts.

But he had just finished feeding, and after playing for a while, his eyelids drooped and he fell asleep.

Kangxi gently changed his posture to allow Yinyi to sleep more comfortably.

At this time, Hongying came over with a food box and took out a bowl of hot noodles with two poached eggs on it. Shi Nanxi's attention was immediately diverted by the aroma.

I'm so hungry! Kangxi found Shi Nanxi's expression a little funny, but more distressed. He immediately picked up Yin Yi and gave up his seat.

Hongying came over quickly, gently helped the queen sit up, and placed a soft pillow behind her waist. Then she brought the noodles over and wanted to feed her herself, but Shi Nanxi took the bowl directly and said:

"I will do it myself."

Having said that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Soon the big bowl of noodles was finished in a short while. Shi Nanxi felt alive again.

Kangxi had just gone to carry Yinyi back to the side hall. The child was still young and the weather was cold, so he couldn't be held in his arms all the time while sleeping. When he came back, Shi Nanxi said:

"Sent Yinyi back?" Then he suddenly remembered and asked:

"Today is New Year's Eve, why hasn't the emperor returned to the palace?"

Every New Year's Eve, all the concubines in the harem and the Empress Dowager would go to the Qianqing Palace early in the morning to have a reunion breakfast with Kangxi. This was the established rule, but at this time it was obviously past breakfast time.

Kangxi sat back on the embroidery stool, reached out and held Shi Nanxi's hand, and said with a smile:

"Yin Yi has been sent back, and Nanny Yang is watching over him."

Then explained:

"You haven't even woken up yet, how can I go back without worrying? Don't worry, I have already informed the Queen Mother. These are just some rules, no need to worry."

He is the emperor, and the rules for him depend on whether he is willing to follow them.

Shi Nanxi didn't say anything else. Kangxi knew his limits, and she was very happy that she could see Kangxi the first thing she saw when she woke up after giving birth.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while. After all, Shi Nanxi had just given birth and fell asleep soon. Kangxi put Shi Nanxi's hands that were outside back into the quilt, tucked them in carefully, and looked at her for a while before he lowered the bed curtain and got up.

"Take good care of your queen. If you have anything, send a message directly. I will return to the palace first and come back in the evening."

Kangxi lowered his voice and instructed Hongying. Hongying bowed and responded in a low voice. Kangxi looked back at the bed curtains and walked out the door.

On the other side, in the imperial palace, it is New Year’s Eve, and the place is decorated with lights and is filled with joy.

This year, because Imperial Noble Consort Xian was giving birth in Changchun Garden and could not come back, all the concubines gathered in the Yanx Palace first. After everyone arrived, they were led by Consort Hui to the Cining Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager.

After greeting each other, a distinguished person suddenly sighed:

"Oh, this year's New Year is without Imperial Concubine Xian, and I feel like something is missing. However, I heard that the fifteenth prince born to Imperial Concubine Xian weighed more than six kilograms when he was born. He is really a fat boy. Imperial Concubine Xian is so blessed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment. Isn't this how blessed she is? She was made a concubine when she entered the palace, and was promoted to a noble concubine the following year. In the third year, when she had no children, she was made a royal noble concubine. Now in the fourth year, her first child is a little prince, and a healthy one at that. Who wouldn't be envious?

Concubine Hui, who was the first one to sit next to her, maintained a dignified and gentle expression, but she tightened her hand holding the handkerchief. Concubine Rong showed some envy on her face, as she had given birth to five little princes before she managed to keep one, Yinzhi.

Concubine Xi lowered her eyes and played with the bracelet on her wrist. Her expression did not change, but her heart was sinking again and again. Not only was it because the woman gave birth to a healthy little prince, which caused the Emperor not to come back on such an important day as New Year's Eve, and the meaning behind it, but more importantly, someone attempted to murder her during childbirth, and soon after that, a manager of the Imperial Household Department committed suicide by taking poison.

And that steward was secretly a member of her Hesheli clan. His suicide by taking poison was clearly related to Consort Xian's childbirth. With the emperor's ability, he would surely be able to investigate it. She had already received news that Liang Jiugong was investigating personally, and other members of the Hesheli clan had been taken away. It was estimated that after the Spring Festival, the Hesheli clan might face liquidation.

The people in the court were unaware of the inside story, and when the murder of Imperial Noble Consort Xian was not committed by them, it would be considered as theirs, but this was really not done by them.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xi couldn't help but think of the incident at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet last time. That time, they, the Hesheli clan, were tricked. It was because of that trick that they, the Hesheli clan, did not act rashly this time. But they didn't expect that they would still be implicated.

These people really treated the Hesheli clan as soft persimmons and blamed them for everything. What was hateful was that the manager was indeed their man and was secretly corrupt. Concubine Xi hated him so much.

She looked around calmly and knew that this incident must have been done by someone at the scene. They deliberately put the blame on Hesheli in order to sow discord between Imperial Noble Consort Xian and the Crown Prince. She, Hesheli, would never let it go.

Concubines Chengpin, Supin and other concubines who were close to Shi Nanxi were very happy at this moment. The better Imperial Noble Concubine Xian was, the more they would follow her.

"We can't envy Imperial Concubine Xian's good fortune. We can only wait for Imperial Concubine Xian to finish her confinement and bring the Fifteenth Prince back to the palace. We'll see if we can get a little bit of it. That will be enough for us."

"Sister Chengpin is right. Let's prepare the gifts quickly. We definitely won't be able to attend the fifteenth prince's third-day bath. I just don't know if the full-moon ceremony will still be held in Changchun Garden. Will we be lucky enough to attend it?"

At this time, Concubine Hui spoke:

"We have to wait until the emperor returns to find out. We don't know when the emperor will return. The auspicious time for the New Year's Eve banquet is approaching. However, the New Year's Eve family banquet is important, and so is Imperial Concubine Xian. By the way."

She looked at the Queen Mother and asked:

"Empress Dowager, did the Emperor say when he would arrive?"

The Empress Dowager at the top seemed calm and composed, as if she could not hear the hidden meaning in Concubine Hui's words, and said with a smile:

"Noble Consort Xian has added a new child to the royal family in the New Year. This is double happiness. The Emperor is also worried about them, but I just received a letter saying that they will arrive soon."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. The next moment, a greeting came from outside the door.
