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

"Second Princess, why is your face a little red?" Hongying looked at the Second Princess in front of her, noticed the remaining red on her cheeks and exclaimed.

"Is it a fever?"

As he was about to touch Shi Nanxi's forehead, Shi Nanxi subconsciously lowered her head to avoid him and was about to say that it was because of the long exposure to the sun. But just before she could say it, her peripheral vision suddenly noticed Xiao Ruzi walking towards her. Her mind raced, and the words at the corner of her mouth suddenly changed to:

"I'm fine. I just got too close to the Emperor. I don't know why I feel a little blush and my heart is beating fast..."

As he spoke, he realized what he was saying, bit his lip immediately, and stiffly changed the subject:

"I just left and I started missing Xixi again, but it was still sleeping when I left."

Hongying wanted to say something, but when she heard Ergege mention "Xixi", she couldn't help but say:

"The same goes for me. 'Xixi' is so well-behaved and cute. She is so warm that I am reluctant to give her back to Manager Liang when I leave."

Xiao Ruzi walked up to him and silently took note of what Shi Ergege had just said, then said in a humble tone:

"The servant Xiao Ruzi greets Princess Shi Er, and wishes you good luck."

Shi Nanxi looked at Xiao Ruzi in surprise, and then quickly called out:

"Xiao Ruzi, why are you here? Get up quickly."

In addition to her own preparations for the venomous snake incident that day, Xiao Ruzi also helped a lot. After she woke up, she asked Hongying to call the other party over, thanked him in person and gave him a reward, and at the same time became closer to him.

"Thank you, Second Lady Shi." Xiao Ruzi stood up and explained respectfully:

"It was Nanny Yang who was a little worried when she saw that you hadn't returned to Chuxiu Palace for a long time, so she asked me to go out and look for you. Now that I see that you are fine, I am relieved. I think Nanny Yang will be relieved to know this."

"So that's it. I forgot the time. Thank you for your concern, Madam. Let's go back quickly!"

Shi Nanxi looked guilty, and then quickly led the two back to Chuxiu Palace.

As expected, they returned to Chuxiu Palace, and even Shi Rongyue came back. Shi Nanxi hurriedly apologized to Nanny Yang, but Nanny Yang didn't say anything, just said that everything was fine.

The night is deep,

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You have to attend court tomorrow."

Liang Jiugong reminded the emperor who was still busy reviewing memorials.

Kangxi said nothing. He finished reading the memorial in his hand, and after he gave a "yes" sign, he put down the imperial pen, pinched his brows, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What time is it?"

Liang Jiugong held the whisk, carefully put away the memorial approved by the emperor, and replied softly:

"It's already the end of the second watch (11pm)."

As he spoke, he packed up the memorials and went to the couch table to serve the emperor some hot milk tea.

"Your Majesty, would you like to have a cup of milk tea to replenish your energy?"

He looked at the emperor's tired eyes and felt really distressed.

However, smelling the rich milky aroma, Kangxi reached out his hand, picked it up, but did not drink it. Instead, he stared at the milk tea in a daze.

Today his lips accidentally brushed against the little girl's hair. Fortunately, the girl was concentrating on playing the piano at the time and did not notice his offense.

Otherwise, I don't know how disgusted and ashamed she would be if she knew that she, at the age of 38, was an elder like her father, and yet she flirted with her.

But for some reason I felt a little regretful that the other party didn't notice.

Seeing that the emperor was staring at the milk tea for a long time without moving, Liang Jiugong thought for a moment and recalled the last time he adjusted the flavor of the milk tea. His eyebrows moved slightly and he had an idea in his mind.

Suddenly he lowered his voice and said:

"Your Majesty, I just remembered that Xiao Ruzi sent me a message in the evening."

Kangxi suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this. He put down his milk tea and looked at Liang Jiugong. Although he didn't say anything, Liang Jiugong understood at once and immediately reported the news about Shi Ergege.

After a while, the emperor asked without any emotion:

"You said that Princess Shi Er told her maid that if she got too close to me, she would blush and her heart would beat fast?"

Liang Jiugong secretly glanced at the emperor. Although he couldn't see anything, he knew that the emperor didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he was in a good mood.

"That's what Xiao Ruzi said."

Kangxi said nothing more, but the vague melancholy in his heart instantly disappeared. He picked up the milk tea again, and this time he finally took a sip, and immediately said:

"The milk tea is good today, reward."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The next day, Shi Nanxi felt that her spirit had been restored, so she started studying with other ladies.

After what happened with Li Jiaming, the concubines in Chuxiu Palace became more obedient and well-behaved, but Shi Nanxi found herself as if she was isolated.

Those people didn't try to trip her up or make faces at her, but instead, they acted as if they were fragile dolls or brought bad luck. They all stayed away from her when they met her, and she returned to the invisible state she was in when she first entered Chuxiu Palace.

Shi Nanxi didn't care about it at all, and was even satisfied with it. She thought it would be best to keep avoiding her until the talent show was over. When the course was over, she would catch up with Nanny Yang.

"Madame Yang, please stay." Madame Yang turned around and saw that it was Shi Nanxi. She asked in a businesslike manner, "What's the matter, Second Princess Shi?"

Shi Nanxi held the handkerchief and explained her purpose in a low voice.

After listening to this, Madam Yang pondered for a moment and said:

"Princess Shi Er said that when you were unconscious, Concubine Yi sent someone to summon you. I heard from the palace maids that now that you are well, it is only natural for you to go to Yikun Palace to apologize to Concubine Yi. It is just..."

Shi Nanxi asked in confusion: "But what suggestions does Madam have?"

Nanny Yang pursed her lips and reminded:

"I heard that the Ninth Prince, who was born by Concubine Yi, was caught skipping classes a few days ago by the Emperor and was beaten with thirty sticks. He has just been able to get out of bed. When you go to Yikun Palace, you should try to avoid mentioning the Ninth Prince, so as not to offend the Empress."

The Ninth Prince was able to get out of bed. It seemed that he was beaten really hard at that time. He had to be more careful today. Fortunately, he had made arrangements in advance and reminded Kangxi yesterday.

He looked thoughtful for a moment, then thanked her gratefully:

"Thank you for your advice, Nanxi knows about it and will definitely pay attention to it."

"Second Princess, you are so polite. It is my duty."

After saying goodbye to Nanny Yang, Shi Nanxi went back to her room and changed into a sky blue Manchu dress. Her hair accessories were the same as usual, except that she added a pair of tassels that hung down by her ears.

On her ears were the same pair of three-in-one star earrings that she had worn at the prince's birthday banquet.

I believe Kangxi must have been impressed. At the same time, the blue stars on it complement the color of the Manchu dress, which makes people see that it is carefully made up without being too solemn and luxurious.

Shi Nanxi looked at herself in the mirror carefully and made sure that there was no problem before leading Hongying out. Shi Rongyue, who had rarely gone out today, saw this scene and looked sarcastic.

She wanted to see what kind of noble person Shi Nanxi could get close to and what kind of good future she could have without her.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was just happy that the Ninth Prince could finally get out of bed today, when she heard the report that Princess Shi Er from Chuxiu Palace was coming to pay a visit.

She raised her eyebrows slightly: "This person came quite quickly." Nanny Wang beside her continued:

"Your Highness is the head of a palace, your status is so noble, how dare that Second Lady not come and apologize quickly, maybe she even wants to curry favor with you."

Concubine Yi curled her lips and did not respond, but casually ordered:

"Invite someone in."
