Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!
Chapter 88: It is advisable to test, Kangxi arrives
"Your humble servant Shi Nanxi greets Her Majesty Concubine Yi. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
Shi Nanxi lowered her head slightly, fixed her eyes on Concubine Yi's chin, bent her knees slightly, and performed a standard squatting ceremony meticulously.
Concubine Yi sat at the top and looked at Shi Nanxi.
She had an oval face and thin bangs on her forehead. Perhaps because of her poor health or the shock from the previous few days, her complexion was not as rosy as that of ordinary people. Instead, it was pale and she looked timid.
But her eyes were very polite, she didn't even glance upwards for long. One could tell from the look on her face that she must be a quiet and well-behaved princess.
Apart from that, she was also very delicate and clever. The star earrings she wore on both ears were obviously to match the light blue Manchu dress she was wearing. The two complemented each other, giving her an indescribable gracefulness and beauty.
This is right. I always felt that the second princess of the Shi family in the rumors was too despicable and good for nothing. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion.
And the color is not bad. His mind was wandering, but he quickly put down the teacup, and a hearty laugh rang out in the hall:
"Mrs. Shi Er is so polite. Hurry up and sit down."
"Thank you, Madam Yi Fei."
Shi Nanxi still didn't look around, she stood up carefully and sat on the chair, with her buttocks only sitting on one-third of the chair.
Concubine Yi took this scene into her eyes.
His eyes moved and he said:
"I heard that Princess Shi Er was frightened and fell into a coma a few days ago. Is she feeling better now?"
When Shi Nanxi heard the question, she pinched her handkerchief nervously and quickly replied:
"Thank you for your concern, my lady. I am fine now."
Concubine Yi nodded:
"It's good that nothing serious happened. I didn't expect that there would be such a vicious concubine in this class. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Niu were very perceptive and found out the truth in time. It's just that Princess Shi Er was wronged."
Shi Nanxi was flattered and waved her hands:
"I am not wronged at all. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Niu found out the truth in one day and made the decision for me. I am grateful to them so much that I don't feel wronged."
Concubine Yi glanced at the other party's nervous gesture of waving his hands, put down the teacup, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with regret as if she was looking at a junior:
"Shi Ergege is such a well-behaved and sensible child. After seeing her today, I feel a little regretful that I couldn't meet Ergege earlier."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind!" Shi Nanxi blushed when she heard this. She was a little frightened and a little surprised that she couldn't help but twist her handkerchief into a knot.
Nanny Wang, who was standing beside Concubine Yi, saw the whole scene and a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes. This person actually accepted the Empress's compliment.
Concubine Yi also raised her index finger to cover her lips, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. The air suddenly became quiet, and Shi Nanxi looked up in confusion.
She seemed to not understand why he suddenly stopped talking, but she did not dare to ask, and just held the handkerchief more nervously.
Time passed minute by minute, until Shi Nanxi gradually began to get restless. Concubine Yi put down the teacup and said apologetically:
"Ah, this year's newly-tributed Biluochun tastes better than in previous years. I was so immersed in it that I ignored Princess Shi Er. You should try it quickly too. Do you like it?"
Shi Nanxi was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and took a sip of tea. Seeing this, Concubine Yi smiled and asked:
"How does it taste? Not bad, right?"
Shi Nanxi nodded repeatedly, and then seemed unable to resist taking another sip. Nanny Wang beside Concubine Yi curled her lips secretly, thinking that he was such a petty person.
Concubine Yi watched this scene, slowly playing with the top-quality jade bracelet on her wrist, curled her lips slightly, and said:
"This tribute is indeed extraordinary. Speaking of this, I remembered that another tribute, the 'Spring Peaches', will soon be picked. After the first batch is delivered to the palace, you can come to my palace and taste them together. They taste very good."
Shi Nanxi's hand holding the teacup paused slightly. The tribute "Spring Snow" had not yet entered the palace? Then what was the matter with the gift Kangxi gave her yesterday?
Hongying behind her also blinked, her thoughts synchronized with those of the Second Princess.
Yesterday she heard with her own ears that the Emperor asked Manager Liang to carry a box of tribute "Spring Snow" to his own Second Princess, and he carried it all the way personally. This morning, when the Second Princess tasted it, she gave her half!
So Concubine Yi hasn't received it yet?
"…Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am very happy."
Shi Nanxi was stunned for a moment and said quickly, Concubine Yi thought that the other party was stunned because she was surprised, and the corners of her mouth twitched down. What Wang Ma said was not wrong, it was indeed a bit petty.
Thinking of not gossiping anymore, she sighed, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared on her face. Seeing this, Shi Nanxi pinched her handkerchief and spoke cautiously:
"Your Majesty...what's wrong with you? But did I say something wrong, or..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Concubine Yi interrupted Shi Nanxi, waved her hand, and said with some disinterest:
"I was reminded of the Ninth Prince. He was naughty and mischievous, always liked to play tricks on others, and was punished by his father to kneel in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Unexpectedly, he did something a few days later that angered the Emperor and was beaten with thirty sticks.
I was just able to get out of bed today, but it will take at least a month to recover. As your mother, I am anxious and distressed."
How could you not know what the Ninth Prince did? How did he summon her? Shi Nanxi's heart was as clear as a mirror, but she was relieved and comforted softly:
"Don't worry, madam. Ninth Prince is still young, so it's inevitable that he will be a little naughty. The Emperor must be worried about Ninth Prince, as the saying goes, when a child is beaten, his parents will feel the pain."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi's sorrow gradually disappeared.
Turn to comfort:
"Yes, Ninth Prince is still young and can be taught well, but..."
At this point, she paused and asked casually:
"Ninth Prince likes to play tricks on people. I wonder if Second Princess Shi has ever encountered this?"
This was a test to see if she knew that the Ninth Prince was behind the two murders. No, perhaps it was also a test to see if she had any contact with Kangxi at the time.
Shi Nanxi's mind raced as she was about to pretend to be hesitant and shake her head, but she was interrupted by a familiar voice coming from outside the door:
"Who did the Ninth Prince tease again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi, dressed in sky blue suit, walked in. Everyone was startled and quickly stood up to greet him. Concubine Yi's heart tightened, but she greeted him immediately.
"Your Majesty, why did you come here so suddenly? I gave you a fright."
She bowed, then hugged Kangxi's arm and glanced at him sideways.
Her face is as beautiful as a peach or plum, and this glance makes her look so delicate and charming, showing the charm of a mature beauty.
However, at the moment when Concubine Yi hugged his arm, Kangxi subconsciously looked at Shi Nanxi who was bowing her head. Fortunately, he retracted his arm very quickly and no one noticed it, but the next moment he smiled and patted Concubine Yi's hand.
"I thought I'd come over to take a look when I had nothing to do."
As he spoke, he calmly pulled out his arms, put them behind his back, and walked to the top.
Seeing this, Concubine Yi followed and sat on the other side, looking at Kangxi lovingly:
"I am very satisfied that Your Majesty would think of visiting me when he has nothing to do."
Kangxi always had a gentle smile on his face. He responded twice and then turned his gaze to Shi Nanxi who was still saluting.
"Is this the second princess of the Shi family?"
