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

When Hongying returned to Chuxiu Palace with the medicine, she saw Xiaoruzi guarding the door. She was shocked and thought that something had happened to the second princess.

It was not until I asked Xiao Ruzi that I learned that the other party saw that the Second Princess did not go to the bamboo forest on time today, so he came over to check on her out of concern.

Hongying immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stuffed a purse into his pocket:

"You are so thoughtful. Ergege was just going to go to the bamboo forest after drinking the medicine. I troubled you to make the trip. Now I am back, you can go back and do your work first."

Xiao Ruzi took the purse and said in a low voice a little embarrassedly:

"Thank you, Sister Hongying. I was so abrupt today, but the Second Princess did not blame me. Instead, she praised me for my thoughtfulness and asked me to wait outside. After she drank the medicine, we will go to the bamboo forest to serve her."

"Okay, Xiao Ruzi, this shows how much the Second Princess values you. Then you wait here for a moment. I'll go in and help the Second Princess drink her medicine."

She had just encountered something on the way back, and now that she was sure that the Second Princess was fine, she hurried to report to her without any further greetings. After a few words, she pushed the door and entered the house.

Shi Nanxi was still sitting on the couch reading a book without looking up until Hongying put the medicine next to her. She put a bookmark on the page she had finished reading, then put down the book, picked up the medicine and blew on it, and asked casually:

"You came back a little later today than usual."

Hongying did not answer immediately after hearing this, but looked around first. Shi Nanxi raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the other party's reaction. Then Hongying confirmed that there was no one around, and then she leaned close to Shi Nanxi's ear mysteriously and whispered for a while.

Finally, he took out a palm-sized bag from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Nanxi, while reminding her:

"Second Princess, please be careful with this. This little bag may look small, but it is actually quite heavy!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi's hand holding the medicine paused, she put down the medicine bowl and took it. Her first feeling was that it was indeed heavier as Hongying said.

She looked at it for a while, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"You said that this was given to you by the eunuch who led us to the "Zhi Bu Qu" study on the day of the Crown Prince's birthday banquet, and that Chief Steward Liang gave it to me as compensation on behalf of the Emperor? He didn't say what was inside it?"

Hongying lowered her voice and replied:

"No, the eunuch only explained that this small bundle was given to you by Chief Steward Liang on behalf of the Emperor. He said that during the birthday banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor found a sachet in his study, and there was a thumb-sized mirror hanging on the sachet.

Later I found out that it was you who lost it, and I was going to return it to you, but I accidentally forgot about it in my busyness and didn't remind you at that time, so it was damaged by the laundry maids in the Xinzheku.

When the Emperor learned about it, he felt that it was not good to damage something belonging to a junior like you, and he must compensate you. He asked Liang, the chief steward, to think of the compensation, saying that it was his own fault, but he must satisfy you. Now the things in this small bundle are the compensation that Liang wanted. "

Tsk, what does Liang Zongguan want to get compensation for? Shi Nanxi secretly sneered, wondering if it would be better to find an excuse, but she had some guesses in her heart.

It seems that Xiao Ruzi's intelligence work was done very well. Although he thought so in his mind, his hands slowly opened the small bag.

Today the sky finally cleared up, and the dazzling sunlight shone into the bag through the window lattice. The bag was full of golden leaves that dazzled people.

At this time, Hongying's gasp was heard beside her. Shi Nanxi paused and turned slightly to block the sunlight, so it was not so dazzling. However, the bag full of gold leaves was still eye-catching in the room.

Kangxi! She looked at the golden leaves and said silently. Although she had some guesses, she had a different feeling when she actually saw them.

It seems that the other party really cares about her. These gold leaves are much more than the silver she has left.

"Great! It's the gold leaf. It really came just in time. Second Princess is running low on money. With this relief, we don't have to worry for the time being."

After Hongying realized what was happening, she immediately became excited.

Shi Nanxi thought so in her heart, but her face showed hesitation:

"Hongying, don't be happy yet. Do you think Manager Liang made a mistake? My sachet is very ordinary. There is no fragrance in it. It is just some sunflower seeds and a thumb-sized mirror. How can it be worth so many gold leaves? You should find a chance to return it!"

As she said this, she inadvertently raised her voice. Xiao Ruzi, who was waiting outside the door, vaguely heard the mention of Manager Liang. She unconsciously stood in front of the door and pricked up her ears.

Hongying's happy smile paused.

Somewhat annoyed, he said:

"Second Princess is right. I was so busy being happy for you that I forgot this. It's just..."

"Just what?" Shi Nanxi looked over.

Hongying bit her lip and hesitated:

"But Chief Steward Liang represents the Emperor. The Emperor's things cannot be returned. It's like an imperial decree, which means the Emperor's words are not to be taken back. If you return it, will it displease the Emperor?"

After hearing this, Shi Nanxi fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said with a distressed look:

"You're right, but I feel like I'm just pretending to be sorry."

Hongying also became worried. After a while, she thought of something and said hesitantly:

"How about you, Second Princess, return the gift to the Emperor, would that be better?"

When Xiao Ruzi outside the door heard this, her ears pricked up even higher.

Shi Nanxi's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she quickly said:

"But firstly, I don't have anything good to give back to the emperor, and secondly, isn't this... a private transaction?"

Hongying blinked her eyes. Yes, that's true. But if we counted it this way, wouldn't this purse also be considered as a private transfer between the Emperor and the Second Princess?

Thinking of this, she was shocked by her own thoughts. At this time, she heard Ergege muttering to herself: "Even elders shouldn't be like this!"

Hongying immediately shook her head. Yes, really, what was she thinking? The emperor must have regarded the Second Princess as a junior. So she continued:

"Second Princess, you worry too much. As long as it's not private between elders, it doesn't matter. By the way, you have good handwriting. The gift is small but the friendship is great. Why don't you write a copy of your handwriting for the emperor? After all, the emperor is rich, and maybe your handwriting will make him happy."

"Is this okay?" Shi Nanxi was a little hesitant.

Hongying nodded:

"Of course, Second Princess, the medicine is cold. You still have to go to the bamboo forest, so drink it quickly!"

Shi Nanxi thought about it and seemed to agree with Hongying's words. She asked her to put the small bag in the box beside the bed, and then she picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine.

After she finished drinking, she casually picked up a Weishan candied fruit and put it in her mouth, but her eyes looked outside the door.

After hearing this conversation, Xiao Ruzi outside the door quietly moved back to his previous position.

Soon Hongying put the golden leaves away, and Shi Nanxi took her to the bamboo forest in the back hall as usual, and took the initiative to step into the trap carefully prepared by others.

On the other side, Liang Jiugong wiped his sweat and thought for two days. He finally completed the task that the emperor had asked him to do perfectly and returned to the imperial study.
