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

Chapter 64: Fishing with him, worrying about gains and losses

Shi Nanxi lowered her head slightly and followed Kangxi closely. When they turned around the corridor and passed through the moon gate, Kangxi suddenly stopped.

Shi Nanxi didn't notice it for a moment and bumped into Kangxi's back. Her body reflexively leaned back. Fortunately, Kangxi turned around in time to help her stabilize her body, and at the same time reminded her:

"Watch the road carefully when walking."

Shi Nanxi was still a little slow to react and subconsciously touched her forehead. Seeing this, Kangxi's eyes flashed with helplessness and he was about to take her hand away to take a look.

But at this time, Shi Nanxi finally reacted and turned her head away subconsciously, causing Kangxi's hand to fall empty.

"…Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I was rude and bumped into you. Please forgive me."

After saying this, he took a step back with a look of panic on his face and quickly bowed to apologize.

Kangxi's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. Looking at Shi Nanxi's black head, he pursed his lips and withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

Without changing his tone:

"I stopped suddenly. It has nothing to do with you. Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shi Nanxi stood up carefully, still with her head slightly lowered, and in order to avoid a repeat of the situation just now, she took two steps back. In stark contrast to the way they had been chatting privately yesterday, she was reserved and distant.

Kangxi knew that because this would be in a public place, unlike yesterday, the two should keep their distance.

But when he really saw Shi Nanxi avoiding him like a snake or scorpion, he felt inexplicably upset. Why? Was there something shameful about him, a great emperor?

He remained calm and continued walking forward. After only a few steps, he found that Shi Nanxi had not caught up with him. He could not help but stop and looked back:

"Why don't you leave?"

Shi Nanxi, who was a few steps behind, rubbed her handkerchief with a hesitant look, but seeing that the emperor was looking at her, she bit her lip and had to lower her head and explain in a low voice:

"Your Majesty just said in the palace that he would take me to the back garden. We are here now. Since you have something else to do, I will not disturb you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi pursed his lips. He looked at the little girl not far away, and couldn't understand why she was fine yesterday and even said that she regarded him as her elder, but suddenly changed today.

They were just looking at the flowers together. If she had any concerns, she could just ask Liang Jiugong to clear the area.

But the other party's attitude clearly showed that he didn't want to follow him. Should he, a dignified emperor, condescend to ask the other party to accompany him?

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Liang Jiugong secretly glanced at the emperor, then glanced at Shi Ergege not far away, and suddenly felt extremely impressed.

I didn't expect that this person looked so timid and cowardly that he even dared to ignore the emperor. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance!

Hongying didn't understand why it seemed like the atmosphere seemed off since it was obviously the Second Princess's doing this in accordance with the rules!

However, as the person involved, Shi Nanxi did not seem to notice anything wrong at the scene. When he saw that the emperor did not answer, he thought the other party had acquiesced.

So he bowed silently, led Hongying and retreated. Looking at the figure going away, Kangxi stood there with an unchanged expression, but his hands behind his back suddenly clenched.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Seeing that Shi Ergege had disappeared and the emperor was still not moving, Liang Jiugong could not help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Kangxi withdrew his gaze indifferently, turned around and walked in the original direction. Seeing this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly followed with the whisk in his arms.

After a while, Kangxi stopped in front of a purple peony. Peony has always been the king of flowers, magnificent and luxurious.

Among them, the purple peony is the most beautiful, with the scientific name Wei Zi. The Wei Zi of the Empress Dowager was carefully nurtured by the gardener and bloomed ahead of schedule.

At this moment, under the sunshine, the purple petals are overlapping, gorgeous and eye-catching, exuding a rich fragrance, so beautiful that it is beyond words.

But Kangxi felt a little bored watching her. No matter how precious and beautiful Wei Zi was, it meant nothing to him who was rich as he was.

You can have as much as you want, I'm tired of seeing it.

"Let's go." Then he turned and left.

Liang Jiugong was stunned. He had just arrived, so why was he leaving?

But seeing that the emperor had already walked far away, he did not dare to speculate and hurried to catch up.

In another direction, Shinan Creek stopped under a peach tree. In March, the early spring peach blossoms had already bloomed. The petals were light pink and exuded a faint fragrance.

At this moment, under the blue sky, the snowflakes are falling with the breeze, giving people a dreamy beauty, poetic and picturesque, and beautiful beyond words.

Shi Nanxi couldn't help but look up and reached out to gently catch the falling petals.

It is said that while you are looking at the scenery, the people who are looking at the scenery are looking at you.

Kangxi stopped in his tracks after watching this scene. Liang Jiugong behind him secretly wiped his sweat. It turned out that the emperor was looking for Princess Shi Er!

"Second Princess, look at how dense the peach blossoms are blooming. In a few months, there will surely be a lot of peaches." Hongying swallowed as she looked at the peach tree.

Hearing this, Heather turned to her:

"Do you like peaches?"

Hongying scratched her head embarrassedly facing the Second Princess.

"Yes, Second Princess, I have loved eating peaches since I was a child. My mother even planted a peach tree in the yard at home for this purpose. Every year when the peach tree blooms, I start looking at the tree and counting the days!"

As she spoke, her face turned red.

He said in a hesitant manner:

"Second Princess, am I too vulgar? When I saw the peach blossoms blooming, I didn't appreciate them but just wanted to eat them."

"Who said that?" Shi Nanxi shook her head slightly, then leaned close to Hongying's ear and whispered:

"I'll tell you something. Actually, when I saw the peach blossoms blooming, my first thought was when the peaches would be ripe."

"Ah! Really?"

Hongying couldn't believe what she heard. The nobles she met in the palace loved beautiful flowers the most and would compare themselves to flowers whenever they saw them. How come the Second Princess thought the same as her?

"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm tacky?" Shi Nanxi asked with her head tilted.

Hongying immediately shook her head. The Second Princess had a good temperament and wrote beautiful handwriting, which was not at all vulgar. Shi Nanxi immediately laughed when she saw this.

Her eyebrows and eyes are curved, lively and cute, without any of her usual reserved and timid appearance.

Kangxi saw this scene not far away and his heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

"Second Princess, it seems the apricot blossoms over there have bloomed too."

"Let's go take a look."

After Shi Nanxi finished speaking, she looked at Taohua again, but glanced back with the corner of her eye. Although she didn't see the bright yellow figure, she knew he must be there.

Behind a large rock at the corner of the path, Liang Jiugong saw that Shi Ergege was about to disappear, and secretly glanced at the emperor's expression.

As someone who has served the emperor for decades, although the emperor's expression remained unchanged, I knew that he was in a bad mood.

As a servant, I have to share my master's worries, so I licked my lips and whispered:

"Your Majesty, didn't you pick up Shi Ergege's sachet yesterday? Why don't you take this opportunity to return it to Shi Ergege?"

The sachet should have been returned to Princess Shi Er when she applied the medicine yesterday, but no one thought about it at the time, so it is still in the emperor's hands now. This is a good excuse to go up and talk to him.

However, until the beauty's figure disappeared not far away, Liang Jiugong did not wait for the emperor to follow suit, but instead waited for a sentence:

"Go back to the palace." Kangxi turned and left expressionlessly.

Liang Jiugong was stunned for a moment before he responded:

“…Huh.”
