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

The Fourth Prince’s mansion, in the backyard, somewhere in the courtyard.

"Concubine, you are awake. It's time to take your medicine."

When Nanny Gu saw that her master had woken up, she hurried forward and gently helped her sit up. She placed a soft pillow behind her and sat down on the bed. She took the medicine bowl handed to her by Qingning, carefully scooped out a spoonful of the medicine, blew on it, and put it to the concubine's mouth.

Shi Rongyue was leaning against the bed. She was very thin, her cheeks were sunken, and her face was pale. She looked very weak and gloomy, as if she had been ill for a long time.

At this moment, looking at the medicine handed to her lips, she pursed her pale lips, and the next moment she suddenly raised her arm, and the whole medicine bowl was overturned, and the brown medicine in the bowl was spilled all over the bed and the floor. She said hysterically:

"Eat, eat, eat. What's the point of taking these medicines? They can't even cure a minor cold. They are all quacks, quacks!"

Right after he finished scolding, Shi Rongyue couldn't help coughing. Upon seeing this, Nanny Gu quickly called for someone to clean up the mess while she stepped forward to gently pat her master's back and took out a handkerchief.

When Shi Rongyue finally stopped, a faint blush appeared on her pale face, but this blush was an abnormal one.

Nanny Gu felt both distressed and helpless about this. Her master's cold had not healed for a long time. The imperial physician had also come to see her and said that her master's health was not good to begin with, and she was also depressed, which led to the fact that her cold had not healed for a long time.

If you want to cure the cold, you must first think it through. Otherwise, if you are depressed, no medicine can cure it.

However, since the death of little Prince Hong'an, the master's temperament changed drastically. He did not listen to their advice at all. Instead, he often talked to himself and said things that they could not understand.

As the illness has become more and more serious recently, my master has started to become moody. The imperial physician said that if this continues, my master might...

Thinking of this, Nanny Gu felt sad, because her master was only twenty years old!

At this time, Qingning brought in another handful of medicine. Nanny Gu quickly wiped away her tears, adjusted her expression, took the medicine, walked to the bedside again, and gently persuaded her gloomy master:

"Concubine, I know you are sick and depressed, but the disease can only be cured by taking medicine, right? And this prescription is a new one, not the previous one. You will definitely get better soon after taking it."

As she spoke, Nanny Gu scooped a spoonful of medicine from the bowl and handed it to Shi Rongyue's lips, but Shi Rongyue just snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Qing Ning watched this scene and knew that if it continued like this, she suddenly remembered something and said quickly:

"Concubine, you may not know yet, but the little princess born to Princess Song is indeed unlucky as you said before. This morning, we received news that she died young. So you see, the one who killed our little prince has died young. You should take care of yourself and burn incense for our little prince in person when the time comes, as a way to pay tribute to him, okay?"

Shi Rongyue finally reacted after hearing this. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Qingning, saying word by word:

"You said that the little princess born to Song died this morning?"

Seeing Qing Ning nod, Shi Rongyue immediately laughed, but she started coughing again while laughing. However, she didn't care at all. Instead, she laughed happily while coughing and said bitterly:

"I said that the little bitch was destined to die young. It's a good death. It's a good death! She killed my Hongan. It's karma, it's karma!"

After learning that the little princess born to Song Gege died young, Shi Rongyue finally felt better and cooperated in drinking the medicine.

But the medicine was too bitter, and Shi Rongyue frowned every time he drank it. Upon seeing this, Nanny Gu quickly handed her master a piece of candied fruit. The candied fruit was very sweet and gradually suppressed the bitter taste in his mouth. Shi Rongyue's frown finally relaxed.

At this moment, she could not help but think of the re-election four years ago. Kangxi had given Fujian tribute honey to her and Shi Nanxi. At that time, Shi Nanxi was sick and got an extra plate. Maybe Kangxi had sympathy for Shi Nanxi at that time.

Thinking of this, Shi Rongyue's face darkened again, and she suddenly felt that the candied fruit in her mouth was no longer sweet.

After swallowing it, she thought about that bitch who was pregnant. She heard that it was a little prince. She was really fearless. In the battle for the throne among the nine princes, how could the mothers of those princes allow her to give birth to a healthy prince.

As for Kangxi, no matter how much he liked Shi Nanxi, he would not let her develop ambitions after having a child.

So Shi Rongyue asked about Shi Nanxi's recent situation with a gloating look, and Nanny Gu and Qingning couldn't help but look at each other when they heard it.

They all knew that their master and Imperial Noble Consort Xian were not on good terms, and they didn't know whether they should tell their master the latest news, for they were really afraid that their master would not be able to accept it.

Noticing the expressions of the two people, Shi Rongyue's expression immediately changed and he said angrily:

"What? Seeing that my wife is ill, you have begun to ignore her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nanny Gu and Qing Ning's faces changed. They immediately knelt down and apologized, and then they dared not hide it anymore.

Only then did Shi Rongyue know that Shi Nanxi had given birth to a healthy fifteenth prince, and was now in confinement in Changchun Garden. Kangxi had been with her all the time, even rushing over on New Year's Eve.

Recently, it was reported that Kangxi was going to enthrone her as queen, hold a full-month banquet for her fifteenth prince, and even grant amnesty to the whole country.

After hearing this, she looked incredulous and blurted out:

"Impossible, how could Kangxi enthrone Shi Nanxi as the empress? It's obvious..."

At this point, Shi Rongyue stopped urgently and then started coughing again. Seeing this, Nanny Gu didn't care about anything else and quickly got up to pat her master's back and hold a handkerchief.

When Shi Rongyue's coughing finally stopped and she took the handkerchief off her mouth, she saw a pool of bright red blood in the middle of the white handkerchief. Madam Hu's pupils suddenly shrank, and the next moment she screamed:

"Quick, call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

The chaos in the Fourth Prince's mansion did not affect the Imperial Household Department's preparations for the Fifteenth Prince and the Queen's coronation. Just like that, under everyone's attention, time finally arrived the day before the Fifteenth Prince's full moon banquet.

Changchun Garden, Danning Residence, Shi Nanxi finally ended her confinement tonight, and the first thing she did was to ask someone to bring water.

"Quick, prepare some water for me. Remember to prepare two more buckets. I am covered in a thick layer of dust."

Hongying naturally knew the resentment from her mother in the past month, and immediately chuckled:

"My lady, I knew you were anxious to wash up, so I have already prepared water."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands. Soon, two eunuchs outside the door lowered their heads, carried the bucket and placed it behind the screen. Shi Nanxi on the bed immediately praised Hongying.

"Oh, our Hongying is really becoming more and more considerate."

After the water was ready, Shi Nanxi finally took a good bath. After washing two buckets of water, she felt a lot lighter. By the third bucket, she was no longer in a hurry to rub off the dust, but enjoyed the bath.

When Kangxi entered the room, he did not see Shi Nanxi. His mind changed and he suddenly changed direction, walking towards the bathroom behind the screen. As soon as he approached, he saw the clothes on the rack and the shadow reflected on the screen.

His phoenix eyes immediately deepened imperceptibly, but his steps remained steady, neither fast nor slow.

Hongying and Zixia, who were standing in front of the screen, were about to salute when they saw the emperor, but Kangxi stopped them by raising his hand and then waved his hand.

Hongying and Zixia immediately retreated quietly. Shi Nanxi had her back to Kangxi and did not notice this. At this moment, she closed her eyes, lay beside the bucket, and said lazily:

"Hongying, Zixia, give me some more hot water."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi's eyes fell on the steaming bucket. He walked over gently, stretched out his big bony hand, and picked up the scoop floating on the bucket.
