Although Shi Nanxi was not seriously injured, she was frightened and could not lift her arm. After applying medicine, she did not return to the banquet, but was sent back to Chuxiu Palace by Kangxi.

Before leaving, Shi Nanxi thought of Shi Mu and the others. She dragged her arm with one hand, quickly raised her head to glance at Kangxi, then quickly lowered her head and whispered after a while:

"Could His Majesty please send someone to tell my mother and elder sister that I'm going back early? They must be very worried because I haven't been back for such a long time."

Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong upon hearing this, and Liang Jiugong immediately said:

"Please rest assured, Princess Shi Er. I will send someone to notify them right away." He then stepped back to arrange people.

Shi Nanxi showed gratitude upon seeing this, then bit her lip lightly and said to Kangxi: "Then... Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Kangxi stood there and nodded slightly. Shi Nanxi turned and walked towards the door. Liang Jiugong had already arranged people outside the door, and they were standing by the door.

Just as Shi Nanxi was about to cross the threshold, she suddenly stopped and turned back, just in time to meet Kangxi's gaze.

It was still unclear what was going on. Shi Nanxi paused, and for the first time did not avoid Kangxi's gaze. Instead, she shook his hand and spoke softly as if she had mustered up the courage:

"Your Majesty, today is all thanks to you, thank you, you are such a good person."

After saying that, he bowed and turned to leave.

Good man? Kangxi muttered silently. Many people said he was a good emperor. This was the first time he heard someone say he was a good man.

After a while, he called:

"Liang Jiugong."

"Your servant is here." Liang Jiugong thought the emperor was going to return to the palace, but the next moment he heard: "Have all the Persian cats that were offered as tribute last year been sent out?"

Liang Jiugong was stunned.

Then he replied:

"In reply to the emperor, a total of five Persian cats were offered as tribute last year. Currently, there is only one left in the Royal Cat Room, but..."

"Speak." Kangxi glanced over indifferently.

Liang Jiugong bent even lower:

"But I heard that Concubine Yi wanted to take the last Persian cat home to raise. It was because the little princess born by Concubine Yuan in the back palace had a cough recently. The imperial physician said that it might be due to allergies due to the early spring, and the cat hair might also have an effect. So Concubine Yi put it on hold and planned to wait until the princess recovered."

Yuan Guiren's daughter, Gege, is only two years old this year and was not brought here today.

Kangxi stroked the jade ring.

Directly:

"I only raise cats to pass the time. Tell Concubine Yi to take care of the little princess's health."

Liang Jiugong quickly agreed, but then he heard the emperor change the subject:

"Send someone to tell the Imperial Cat Room manager to send this Persian cat to..."

He suddenly stopped talking. Chuxiu Palace was only a temporary place for the selected concubines to stay. Even if she was sent there, Shi Nanxi would leave the palace after participating in the palace selection next month.

Thinking of this, he frowned subconsciously.

Liang Jiugong waited for a long time but didn't hear the rest of the emperor's words. He quietly raised his head and glanced at the emperor. He happened to see the emperor looking to the west. To the west were the six western palaces, which included the Yikun Palace, Changchun Palace, and Chuxiu Palace...

——Chuxiu Palace, his heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head subconsciously. The scene of Shi Erge playing with the cat just now suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that the emperor wanted to give it to...

Before he could think further, the emperor's voice finally came from above his head:

"Send it to the Qianqing Palace and tell me to keep it for the time being."

Temporary care? In other words, not long-term care. Who will take care of it in the future?

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to think about it anymore, but before he could respond, he saw the emperor leave a word and leave with his hands behind his back.

After Liang Jiugong straightened up, he looked at the sky outside. It was still clear and sunny at the moment, but who knew what it would be like later.

……

Shi Nanxi was sent all the way back to Chuxiu Palace. The ladies in Chuxiu Palace were still studying today, but most of them were absent-minded.

From time to time, she looked up towards the gate. Nanny Yang knew what was going on, but she remained serious and stern.

"Princess Sochorolo, where should you put your hands? Hang them by your sides and gently move them back and forth. Your handkerchief is about to fall off!"

Suochao Luo Jiahui was originally looking towards the direction of the gate, and was frightened by the scolding. When she was about to admit her mistake, a little eunuch suddenly appeared at the door, followed by Shi Nanxi and his servant.

She said quickly:

"Princess Shi Er is back!"

Hearing this, everyone looked over. Nanny Yang also looked over, but she frowned at the first sight. How come Princess Shi Er came back alone when only half the time had passed?

And seeing his pale face and his arm still dragging, a trace of solemnity and worry flashed through my heart, but I greeted him with a normal expression:

"Shi Ergege, what are you doing?"

When Shi Nanxi saw Madam Yang, she dragged her arms and lowered her head in embarrassment:

"I accidentally fell on my way back from changing clothes, and my arm was injured. It was difficult for me to return to my seat, so I apologized and returned first."

Hearing that nothing else had happened, Nanny Yang felt relieved, but her face remained expressionless.

"I see. Then Princess Shi Er, please go back to your room and have a good rest. Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

Shi Nanxi shook her head.

Thank you:

"Thank you for your concern, Nanny Yang. Nanxi is fine. You can go back and rest for a while."

"Okay." Nanny Yang didn't say anything else, but looked at Hongying:

"Take good care of Ergege."

"Yes, Nanny Yang."

Shi Nanxi nodded slightly to Madam Yang and walked towards the house. When she passed by Madam Yang, the tip of Madam Yang's nose suddenly moved.

Medicinal smell?

It was still the smell of ointment for bruises and sprains. As a servant in the palace, she was most familiar with this smell because she kneeled and fell all day long. But Princess Shi Er didn't fall on the way back from changing clothes. If that was the case, why had the ointment been applied already?

At this time, Socho Luo Jiahui's deliberately louder laughter came from behind.

"Someone actually fell down while walking, and had to leave the venue early. This is really a blessing that cannot be endured even if given the opportunity!"

Others followed suit, pointing and whispering about Heather Creek.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yang calmed down and looked over with sharp eyes.

"Shut up! What does the palace rule say? You are not allowed to discuss right and wrong. Stand still immediately and continue practicing!"

After hearing this, no one dared to say anything else and quickly stood up again to practice the posture of wearing flower-pot soles and walking with a handkerchief swinging.

After scolding the concubine, Nanny Yang thought for a while and felt that she might not have eaten since she came back so early, so she waved for someone to send some cakes to Shinanxi's house.

Nanny Zhang, who was standing next to her, heard Nanny Yang's instructions, glanced at Shi Nanxi's back as she entered the room, and secretly curled her lips.

Look at the man who was first forced to interrupt his job of picking Buddha beans for Concubine Ping's little prince due to illness, and then attended the Crown Prince's birthday banquet, but ended up accidentally falling and coming back early. She shook her head.

This person is destined to be unlucky.

……

In the room, Hongying said indignantly:

"That Suochu Luo Jiahui's words were too harsh. It's obviously not the case."

Thinking of this, she thought of everything that happened today, from the birthday ceremony to the study. Thinking of the study, she still felt a little uneasy. Did the emperor see the second princess changing her clothes?

Also, who was so cruel to push the Second Princess into the water?

Fortunately, the second princess was alert and discovered the clues in advance, but how did she discover it?

Each of these incidents is both frightening and confusing.

"What about the Second Princess today?" I couldn't help but ask.

Shi Nanxi was sitting on the couch, and was about to speak when she suddenly noticed that the color of the diamond-shaped paper on a window outside the door had darkened. She squinted her eyes, and the next moment, she suddenly tightly grasped the handkerchief, and replied in a fearful tone:

"Today's situation is really frightening, fortunately the emperor is here."

Hearing Ergege mention the emperor, Hongying asked in confusion:

"Speaking of the Emperor, Second Princess, you and the Emperor..."

"The emperor is the elder I mentioned before!" Shi Nanxi interrupted Hongying.

Hongying was stunned. It turned out that the elder that Ergege mentioned before was the emperor. Doesn’t that mean that the person who gave Ergege the umbrella and cloak that time was also the emperor!!!

But that time, Ergege was soaked, and her chest was still...

Shi Nanxi continued:

"The Emperor is the father of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and also the father of my eldest sister in the future. I am shamelessly treating the Emperor as my elder in private."

Is that so? Hongying was a little confused and uneasy. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door:

"Mrs. Shi Er, your servant Xiao Ruzi is here to bring you some cakes on the orders of Madam Yang."

It turned out to be Xiao Ruzi. Shi Nanxi's eyelashes trembled, but she said:

"come in!"
