Upon hearing this familiar cry for help, the surprise on Shi Nanxi's face slowly disappeared, and she calmly picked up the tea and sipped it, unmoved.

Zixia also sat there motionless, but analyzed with a smile:

"Your Majesty, it should be the time for the Fifteenth Prince to go to the study room to study. It must be that the Fifteenth Prince skipped class again and made the Emperor angry."

Shi Nanxi raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

Schadenfreude:

"He should be punished by his father for not studying hard."

Among the three, only Nanny Yang put down the embroidery needle in her hand and looked towards the door worriedly. Soon, she saw a white figure rushing through the door. Seeing the people under the grape trellis, she quickly ran over here, shouting excitedly:

"My Queen Mother, My Queen Mother, I'm back. Look what good things I brought you!"

Shi Nanxi slowly put down her teacup and looked at Yin Yi who was running towards her. She saw that he was holding something in one hand and a drawing board in the other. When he got close to her, she could see clearly that he was holding a very small baby bird, probably a newly born bird.

When Yin Yi arrived, before he could even catch his breath, he proudly stretched out one hand and showed it to his royal mother.

"Dangdangdang, look, my Queen Mother, this is a newly born bird, do you like it?"

Heather's eyes fell on the bird. Before she could say anything, Xixi, who was drowsy on her knees, suddenly opened her eyes and stood up. She bent her body, looked at the bird with a vigilant look, and meowed in a low voice:

"Meow, meow~" It looked threatening and like it was trying to eat the bird in a defensive attacking manner.

This scene made Yin Yi dumbfounded, and Kangxi, who was chasing closely at this time, looked at this scene and immediately sneered:

"You little bastard, you're quite good at running. Didn't you say that your royal mother would definitely like birds? Now you can't even get past Xixi. Xixi is the apple of your royal mother's eye. I wonder how you can keep talking nonsense."

After saying this, Kangxi seemed not to mind the big deal and said to Xixi:

"Xixi, as long as you catch that little bird, I promise to have the imperial kitchen make you a new flavor of dried fish. I'll keep my word."

When these words were spoken, not only did Shi Nanxi almost fall down with laughter, but Xixi seemed to understand. The next moment, the cat looked at the bird with its fur standing on end. The cat lowered its back even lower, and the growl from its mouth became louder and louder.

Yin Yi was startled and quickly threw the drawing board in his hand to Liang Jiugong who had just stood up. Then he protected the bird while discussing with Xixi.

"Xixi, let me make a deal with you. As long as you don't catch the bird, I can pay you twice, no, ten times the dried fish that my father promised me. I only ask you to be so kind as to catch it and spare the bird this time. I will keep my word."

When these words were spoken, Xixi's expression suddenly relaxed, not knowing whether she really understood them. Shi Nanxi looked at this scene, holding back her laughter, and turned to Kangxi.

Facing Nanxi's expression of enjoying the show, Kangxi pursed his thin lips, his brows twitched again, and he wanted to deal with this little bastard again.

At this time, the little bastard Yin Yi glanced triumphantly at his royal father, his eyes full of blatant provocation.

Now Kangxi could no longer hold back, but at this moment, he immediately swallowed the angry rebuke that was about to come out of his mouth, and instead it was his turn to show a smug expression.

Yin Yi sensed something was wrong, and looked in the direction where the Emperor's father was looking, and was immediately dumbfounded.

It turned out that when Yin Yi and his son were fighting, everyone's attention was distracted, and the bird took the opportunity to fly away.

I looked at the bird that was flying a little crookedly at the beginning, but later it became more and more skillful, and soon it flew away and disappeared on the tree.

With a "pop", starting from Shi Nanxi, to Kangxi, to Zixia, everyone at the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yin Yi pursed his lips, but finally couldn't help laughing. When the laughter stopped, he said to his royal mother:

"The little bird originally belonged to the sky. I brought it back because I saw it almost fell to its death. Now it has learned to fly, and I am very happy for it."

Having said this, he did not forget to smile ingratiatingly at his royal mother.

"Of course, it also made the Empress Dowager smile, so I am very satisfied."

Shi Nanxi looked at the boy who looked like her except for his phoenix eyes and thick eyebrows, and her expression softened. She waved to him and said,

"Yinyi, come here. You ran so fast just now that your forehead is sweating. Let the Empress wipe it for you."

Yin Yi's eyes lit up and he went over happily, but before leaving he did not forget to give his royal father a provocative look.

Kangxi was originally pleased to hear Yinyi's magnanimous and kind attitude towards the bird flying away, but when he met his provocative gaze, his fist immediately stiffened.

Here, Shi Nanxi was holding Yin Yi's hand and gently wiping his sweat. As for the secret rivalry between the father and the daughter, well, she couldn't see it.

"Okay, it's still a little chilly in early spring. Don't run so fast next time. Your collar is soaked with sweat. Remember to change when you get back."

At this moment, Yinyi was held by the hand by the Empress Dowager, who showed him gentle care and obedience like a little white rabbit, and he nodded immediately.

Shi Nanxi let go with satisfaction.

Then he looked at Zixia:

"Zixia, go to the small kitchen and bring a bowl of ginger soup to the Fifteenth Prince."

Zixia immediately smiled and bowed in response, and Yinyi's face fell immediately when he heard Jiang Tang, then his eyes rolled and he suddenly said seriously:

"Empress Dowager, Aunt Zixia sprained her ankle a while ago, so she should take a rest. I will go to the small kitchen by myself."

After saying this, without waiting for Shi Nanxi's consent, he turned and ran, fearing that he would be stopped, and soon disappeared.

Kangxi was very calm when watching this scene. He knew what his own son was going to do as soon as the other party stuck out his butt. Unfortunately, he was still too young.

Sure enough, the next moment, Zixia stopped and looked at the Empress inquiringly.

Shi Nanxi smiled and waved her hand.

He said slowly:

"It doesn't matter. Let him be. When dinner comes, tell the kitchen to serve a bowl of ginger soup to the Fifteenth Prince. He must finish it."

Upon hearing this, Zixia immediately covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then withdrew.

Kangxi looked at Shi Nanxi who was smiling slyly. She was thirty years old this year, but she looked like she was in her early twenties. Her temperament was like that of a little girl, as if time had never stopped for her.

He looked dazed for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Nanxi is still so young, but I am old."

Hearing this, Shi Nanxi looked at Kangxi. Kangxi was already fifty-two years old this year, and the years had left their marks on him.

But his back was still as straight as before, and his expression was deeper than before, which gave him a majestic aura without being angry. Even when he was angry, he was still elegant and easy-going. But hidden underneath was an elusiveness that had accumulated over the years. But when he looked at her, his eyes were as gentle as ever for the past ten years.

Shi Nanxi patted Xixi's head gently, and Xixi immediately jumped down and ran away skillfully. Yang Mama, Zixia and others also retreated tactfully. She suddenly leaned close to Kangxi's ear and lowered her voice to tease:

"If Your Majesty is old, then who taught me Manchu to be so fluent in the past ten years?"

Shi Nanxi emphasized the intonation when teaching words. At that time, Shi Nanxi wanted to learn Manchu, and Kangxi offered himself as her teacher. Every time he taught Shi Nanxi a Manchu word, he would ask her to "repay" him. In these ten years, she learned all the Manchu words, which shows how hard Kangxi tried to teach her.

Kangxi's melancholy disappeared immediately after hearing what he heard. He pinched Shi Nanxi's waist, pressed it against his chest, and whispered in her ear:

"Nanxi, since you have learned Manchu so well, I will test you tonight. If you forget any Manchu, I will review it for you again!"

Kangxi sounded very meaningful when he said the word "review". Shi Nanxi couldn't help but raised her little fist and punched him on the chest. Kangxi immediately held her hand and bent down to kiss her.

"Oh my god, don't look at what is inappropriate, don't look at what is inappropriate."

Suddenly, a young man's voice came from behind him, and all the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared. Kangxi's eyebrows twitched again. He looked over and saw Yinyi covering his eyes with his five fingers wide open.

Suddenly meeting his father's gaze, Yin Yi was startled and immediately ran away, leaving behind a sentence:

"Madam, I am going to the study now."

After Yin Yi disappeared, Shi Nanxi played with Kangxi's hand, looked at him with a smile and said:

"Are you still happy about having a baby?"

Kangxi coughed lightly.

He said:

"That debt collector."

But he didn't say that he was unhappy about having a child. That was Yin Yi, the child born to his beloved woman. He held it in his mouth and in his palm.

Shi Nanxi glanced at Kangxi and did not expose him, but instead talked about the Wanshou Festival at the end of the month.
