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

They both stopped talking at the same time, and the room became quiet again. After a while, Kangxi raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly.

"Just now at the banquet, I saw you suddenly kneel down. Is your knee injured? Did you apply any medicine?"

Shi Nanxi paused.

Then he whispered back:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I actually applied the medicine first." When she mentioned just now, the redness on her face that had just disappeared reappeared.

Kangxi looked at the rosy face of the little girl opposite him, and took another glance at her calmly, then he noticed a faint smell of medicine on her.

I didn't notice it just now, no wonder he was still changing clothes when he came in. I thought he had already changed clothes and was reading a book inside. I didn't want to disturb him, so I asked the personal maid to guard outside. Now it seems that he applied the medicine and changed clothes himself.

However, besides the smell of medicine, there was also a familiar faint sweet fragrance. However, compared with the previous time in Kunning Palace, the smell this time was very faint. If the two of them were not close to each other, he would not have smelled it.

"That's good. I heard from Liang Jiugong that you had a high fever. You just recovered and I was worried that your knee might be injured again."

Speaking of this, I remembered what I saw in the palace before. I didn't expect that Madam Shi, who looked kind and gentle before, would be so cold and heartless to her daughter. It was obvious that she wanted the little girl to bear all the blame alone.

But then he shook his head secretly. He was not cold and heartless towards his daughter. He had seen it very carefully and saw that Mrs. Shi was only cold and heartless towards her second daughter.

I think it was because the little girl was sickly and timid since she was a child, and was sent to the farm to be raised. The mother and daughter were not close. When something happened, Shi Mu would naturally abandon the other without hesitation.

Thinking of the little girl being abandoned by her family, Kangxi's face remained unchanged, but somewhere in his chest collapsed slightly. He knew best how it felt to be abandoned.

Earlier, he only mentioned at the banquet that when he had smallpox, the Empress Dowager made red eggs for him, but he did not mention that unfortunately, it was the time when the late Emperor was blessed with "my first son."

After learning that he had smallpox, not only did she not go to visit him, but she immediately had him moved out of the palace.

He was only three years old at the time and didn't remember it clearly. He only knew that it was the first time he felt the panic of being abandoned. He still remembered that panic clearly until he recovered from smallpox and was taken back to the palace.

And the little girl was just in the hall... He lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Nanxi's gentle and well-behaved appearance, and for a moment his eyes were unspeakably gentle.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a little red. It doesn't hurt at all after applying the medicine." Shi Nanxi's attention was diverted and her expression relaxed a little.

Kangxi saw this and said gently, "The medicine has just been applied, so how can it take effect so quickly? Sit down and rest for a while, or you will aggravate the injury by walking now."

These words made Shi Nanxi hesitate. She seemed to think it was unnecessary, but she didn't dare to refuse. Upon seeing this, Kangxi walked straight to the desk.

After sitting on the chair, he looked at the little girl who was still there, and said naturally:

"I heard that you have lived in the manor since you were a child. I have lived in the palace for a long time and it is inconvenient for me to go out. Tell me what life is like in the manor."

Having said that, Shi Nanxi couldn't refuse anymore. She walked towards the desk and sat down gently opposite Kangxi. The distance was a bit close, but it was the only chair in the room.

After she sat down, she began to talk seriously about her life on the farm.

"The manor where I live is a farm with a small forest. In addition to growing crops on the land, I also raise some chickens, ducks and geese. Every day, the servants will drive them out to graze. From time to time, you can hear their cries. At this time, I will put down my book and watch them eat grass and chase each other..."

Shi Nanxi recalled the memories of her original self.

"But my favorite is still that small forest. Because it is too small to grow anything, it is a good place to raise chickens. The small hill on the easternmost side of the forest is my secret base."

"Secret base?" Kangxi asked softly.

Shi Nanxi suddenly tilted her head, her eyebrows and eyes were more lively and playful than before, she said:

"Yes, it is a secret base. Even my nanny doesn't know about it. Every time I recover from an illness, I sneak over there without telling anyone."

Kangxi couldn't take his eyes off Shi Nanxi like this. He said:

"Oh, what are you doing there?"

Shi Nanxi tilted her head and said:

“Watch the sunrise.”

"Watch the sunrise?" Kangxi was a little surprised.

"Just to watch the sunrise." Shi Nanxi suddenly stretched out five fingers and pointed them forward, looking at the bright light outside the diamond-shaped window through the gaps between her fingers, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, don't you think the sunrise is beautiful? Every time I was sick, I thought I would never see it again. It would be such a pity to never see such a beautiful scene again!

So every time I recovered from an illness, I would sneak over there alone, sit quietly on the hillside, and slowly wait for the sunrise. When I saw it again, I would think, wow, it’s still so beautiful! ”

The original body would indeed sneak to the hill alone every time he recovered from an illness, but he hoped to see the direction of the capital city clearly from a higher position.

But life is so beautiful, why not look forward? Ahead is the rising sunrise with hope, and behind is just a destined family relationship.

Kangxi stared straight at Shi Nanxi's profile, unable to move his eyes away even a little.

"Your Majesty?" Shi Nanxi waited for a long time for Kangxi to speak and looked over with confusion.

Kangxi came back to his senses and met Shi Nanxi's puzzled eyes. He suddenly whispered:

"Sometimes when I am busy with government affairs, I will hold court early, and occasionally I will stop to watch the sunrise..."

"It turns out that the emperor also watches the sunrise. What is it like to watch the sunrise in the Forbidden City..."

“Very beautiful and spectacular, but it also depends on the location…”

"It turns out that the best view is from the northwest corner building..."

……

Outside the study door, Hongying was anxiously trying to break in. Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to her, was also confused at the moment, but he still did not forget to stop her.

Hongying was stopped and was so anxious that she was about to cry. Her second princess was changing clothes inside, how could the emperor go in?

"Liang Jiugong, my second princess..."

The pink Manchu dress in the study was put there by him personally after receiving an order from the emperor. How could he not guess why Hongying was anxious at this moment?

But as long as he didn't hear the emperor's order, he couldn't let anyone in to disturb the emperor, so he coughed lightly and said calmly:

"Don't panic, Miss Hongying. The Emperor hasn't spoken, and Shi Ergege hasn't called you. Don't think too much. Today is a rare day with bright sunshine. Let's just stand here and bask in the sun!"

Hongying listened for a moment and thought about what Eunuch Liang said. After a while, she felt that there was some truth to it. Maybe she was just overthinking it. She didn't see that the Second Princess didn't call her at all.

Moreover, compared to when she left, quite a while had passed when the emperor went in. The Second Princess might have already changed her clothes and was reading a book inside. It was just that the emperor suddenly went in without her being notified, which scared the Second Princess so much that she screamed out.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and her nervousness subsided a little, but then she thought of the only man and woman inside, and was afraid that they would be seen and affect the reputation of the Second Princess. Her expression became uneasy again, and she held her hands and looked inside the door from time to time.

Liang Jiugong, who was comforting Hongying, was frightened and panicked inside.

What happened? According to the emperor's personality, if he accidentally ran into Shi Ergege changing her clothes, shouldn't he come out immediately? Why did he stay inside?

I pricked up my ears to listen, and could faintly hear voices coming from inside, but there was obviously no other unusual movement. Could it be that I was overthinking it, as I had advised Hongying?

For a moment he began to doubt himself.
