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

Then she seemed to accidentally see the sky outside, and suddenly came to her senses, and said in surprise:

"Ah, it's already this hour!"

After saying this, he remembered something and clutched the handkerchief tightly, his brows showing panic and anxiety.

"I have been away for so long and haven't returned. Mother and elder sister will definitely be worried." But she felt a little disappointed when she said the last part.

Kangxi on the opposite side found that it was indeed getting late. He didn't expect that he had chatted with Shi Nanxi for so long. It had been a long time since he had a relaxed conversation with someone.

Just looking at Shi Nanxi, who was originally panicked and anxious, and suddenly became a little depressed, he calmed down and thought about it and understood.

But he didn't offer any comfort, instead he said:

"It's really late. Go back to the banquet and eat something. You are still young and growing. You can't go hungry."

"Your Majesty, I am not young anymore and can get married..." Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi came back to her senses and looked up subconsciously.

However, as soon as she met Kangxi's gaze, the rest of her words came to an abrupt halt. The next moment, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed and felt so hot that they seemed to be smoking.

Kangxi's eyes moved slightly when he saw this, and the scene he saw when he first entered the room suddenly emerged in his mind. He rubbed it with his thumb calmly, and it was indeed not small.

The atmosphere returned to the awkwardness when they first entered the study, but there was a hint of ambiguity compared to that time.

As time passed, Shi Nanxi seemed to be so embarrassed that she began to feel restless.

She was weighing the pros and cons in her mind. She had already done a lot today, and doing more might be counterproductive. After making the decision, she would pretend to leave in a hurry. But before leaving, she suddenly had an idea.

The hand on his knees, hidden by the desk, unnoticedly took out a sachet from his sleeve, then stood up abruptly, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now, rude."

After saying that, he lowered his head, opened the door quickly and left.

Kangxi, who was left behind, looked at the empty house. He could vaguely hear some noise coming from outside, but it soon returned to normal. His eyes couldn't help but fall on the chair opposite him.

He spoke calmly, "Liang Jiugong."

Liang Jiugong pushed the door open and walked in.

"emperor."

Kangxi sat behind the desk. Unlike the relaxed state he had when he was with Shi Nanxi before, his eyes were dark and deep. Even though he just sat there without saying a word, he was full of anger without any intention.

After a while, he suddenly tapped the desk and asked in an emotionless tone:

"Why did that palace maid just stand outside the door instead of staying to serve Shi Ergege? Was she being lazy and slacking off?"

Hearing this, a gleam of understanding flashed across Liang Jiugong's lowered eyes. Even he felt that the emperor and this Princess Shi Er were too coincidental to be together, so it was normal for the emperor to be suspicious.

As a servant, I should share my master's worries. Just now, when he was outside the door, after he calmed down, I had already found Hongying to ask her some questions without leaving any trace.

So he replied calmly:

"In reply to your Majesty, I was just chatting with Hongying outside the door. I learned that since she started serving Shi Ergege, she found that this second girl didn't like to be served by people close to her. She dressed and washed herself. I heard that the eldest girl of the Shi family was the same."

Kangxi withdrew his hand, clasped his hands together and said:

"It's okay if you're not lazy or idle."

He looked at the sky:

"Go back."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jiugong quickly stepped aside, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly blurred and it seemed that something on the ground was glowing.

He looked over there and found a sachet on the ground with a small bronze mirror tied to the rope of the sachet. It was the small bronze mirror that was reflecting the light and that dazzled him.

"Your Majesty." He walked over and picked it up.

Kangxi looked at the sachet handed over by Liang Jiugong and saw a sunflower embroidered on it. In addition, there was a small bronze mirror tied to the rope. It looked much smaller than the palm-sized hand mirrors that concubines usually held, making it look small and cute.

This must have been because the little girl accidentally fell down because she was in a hurry to leave.

That's it... He handed it forward. It was clearly a sachet, but why didn't it emit any fragrance? If it wasn't for the very faint sweet fragrance that came from when he just took it, which was definitely the scent of Shi Nanxi, he couldn't be sure that it was thrown by the other party.

But now the sweet fragrance is gone, but since it is not the fragrance from the sachet, where does that faint sweet fragrance come from?

"Your Majesty?" Liang Jiugong reminded in a low voice.

At this moment, Kangxi suddenly thought of something, and his hand holding the sachet paused, but his face remained expressionless. He gently held the sachet, put one hand behind his back, and walked out.

Shi Nanxi, who ran out one step earlier than Kangxi, did not raise his head until he turned the corridor.

Hongying was about to ask something when she was suddenly interrupted by a "meow".

The master and servant looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pure white kitten squatting on the railing and looking at them.

The two of them could not help but stop, and Hongying's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh my god, what a beautiful cat. I have never seen such a cat before."

Shi Nanxi recognized it. It was the precious Persian cat in the Qing Dynasty.

The Persian cat not far away saw the two people staring at it. Its eyes wandered for a while and finally fixed on Shi Nanxi. After looking at them for a while, it not only did not run away, but walked over with elegant steps.

Finally, it stopped at the feet of Heather Brook, tilted its little head up to look at her, and meowed softly at her. This soft sound made people's hearts melt, and they wanted to pick it up and kiss it immediately.

Hongying's eyes were almost turning into stars.

Seeing this, Shi Nanxi spoke softly:

"This is a Persian cat. It is a very precious cat and is considered an aristocratic cat. Only a few are paid as tribute each year, and it is not easy to raise them."

"So it's called a Persian cat! It's truly the aristocrat among cats!"

Hongying's eyes were glued to the Persian cat at this moment, and she said without hesitation:

"No matter how difficult it is to raise it, it looks so cute and well-behaved. If it were my child, I would be willing to raise it even if I put all my efforts into it."

Shi Nanxi squatted down and reached out to touch the Persian cat's head. The Persian cat did not hide at all. Instead, it moved forward and meowed softly again.

Her eyes softened, and she suddenly remembered the words of her modern female leader. She said that after raising a cat, she understood the successful man's view on love.

——I don’t need it to be independent. Its lack of independence makes me worry about it more. I also don’t need it to be smart and powerful. As long as it looks up at me with its beautiful little face and acts coquettishly towards me, I will want to hold my heart in front of it.

Yes, Kangxi was also a successful man. He was in a high position and had power, holding the whole world in his hands. He was the pinnacle of ancient men.

In front of him, she doesn't need to act smart, capable, or able to do everything well. Instead, she should act like she needs Kangxi's protection and solutions in everything. He might be happier.

"Hey Mimi, there you are!"

After a while, a little palace maid came over in a panic. When she saw the Persian cat, her face lit up with joy. She immediately ran over, bowed to Shi Nanxi, and then quickly left with the Persian cat in her arms.

Hongying couldn't take her eyes off the Persian cat being carried away for a long time. Shi Nanxi suddenly asked softly, "Do you like Persian cats?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I like it very much, Second Princess." Hongying nodded vigorously upon hearing that.

At this moment, a bright reflection flashed on the wall beside him. Shi Nanxi straightened her sleeves, glanced behind her inconspicuously, and raised the corner of her mouth vaguely:

"If you like it, I'll raise one when I have the chance, and I'll let you take care of it, okay?"

After Shi Nanxi finished speaking, she walked away again without waiting for Hongying's answer.

At the corner of the corridor, Kangxi stood with his hands behind his back, watching Shi Nanxi leave, then glanced at the Persian cat that was taken away. His eyes moved slightly, but he said nothing.

At this time Liang Jiugong asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, Princess Shi Er is just ahead. Do you want me to call her?"

Today's events really made him inexplicably uneasy. He wished that the emperor would return the sachet to Shi Ergege right away so that the two of them would never have any contact again.

However, at this time, Shi Nanxi in front stopped again, and a little eunuch came up to her.
