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

Of course not. Elders cannot be as intimate as the people next to you in bed. But if you want to experience the taboos of being an "elder", you can consider cooperating on the bed in the future.

Shi Nanxi thought carelessly in her heart, but said without hesitation:

"Yes I do!"

"Why?" Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, but he pursed his thin lips.

"Because you are a very good person, good-looking, and have a good temperament..."

He is good-looking and has a good temperament? Kangxi moved his fingers slightly.

Shi Nanxi was counting Kangxi's strengths on her fingers: "He can play the piano, knows a lot, is tolerant, generous, patient, kind and tolerant..."

Kangxi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard this. How could he not know that he had so many advantages?

Then after hearing the next sentence, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled down again.

"When I think that after the selection is over, His Majesty, who is so kind, will become my elder, I look forward to the selection being over soon!"

After saying that, thinking of what happened before, he blushed and added:

"Of course if the Emperor is willing to be the minister's elder."

Kangxi lowered his eyelashes slightly, and responded in a voice without any emotion:

"is it?"

But he never said whether he was willing to treat Shi Nanxi as a junior.

Shi Nanxi nodded heavily, as if she hadn't noticed anything. Kangxi said nothing more. He stroked his jade ring and looked at the distant sky.

The sky was gloomy just now, and there seemed to be a sign of rain, but now the sun has peeked out from behind the clouds again. The sky in the Forbidden City is always so changeable, but a certain little girl has always considered things from the perspective of her eldest sister.

Seeing that Kangxi stopped talking, Shi Nanxi followed his gaze and saw the sun quietly rising. She couldn't help but stretch her hand through the bright light and said in surprise:

"Great, the sun is out."

Kangxi looked at the other party after hearing this:

"So happy?"

"Well, I'm glad. It means I can watch the sunset later. I haven't watched the sunset properly for a long time."

Shi Nanxi tilted her head and looked at Kangxi, with a hint of a smile on her face:

"And didn't you say that the best place to watch the sunset in the Forbidden City is the Yuyin Pavilion in the West Six Palaces? I am so lucky today that I met the emperor and was able to watch the sunset."

Kangxi didn't expect that the other party still remembered what he had said to her before, and said that she was lucky to meet him. Did she really want to meet him?

Unfortunately, the other party looked away again after he finished speaking. Kangxi had to suppress his doubts and looked over as well. After a while, he said with some regret:

"It's still a little early. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while before sunset."

"The sunset is so beautiful, it's definitely worth waiting a little longer."

Hearing this, Shi Nanxi looked at Kangxi. Just like you, the top prey, you deserve more of her time and patience, but what she said was:

"And the waiting process will also be a different experience. It's just that you are busy with official affairs, so do you have anything else to do later?" A barely perceptible sense of disappointment appeared on her face at the right time.

Lost?

Kangxi looked at the other person.

why?

Worried that he's gone and she can't watch the sunset with her so she feels lost?

Although he was confused, he didn't show it on his face. He said softly, "I'll be fine later."

Liang Jiugong in the corner: "..."

Your Majesty, your memorials are piled up on the royal desk. Lord Longkodo will ask to see you later. He asked for a meeting yesterday, but you postponed it to today. Now you say there is nothing to do later? It seems that Lord Longkodo will be disappointed again today.

"Really!" Shi Nanxi became happy again for some reason.

Kangxi also smiled when he saw this:

"Really? I also want to know if the sunset I see from Yuyin Pavilion is as beautiful as the one you saw on the hillside before?"

"Yeah." Shi Nanxi nodded heavily, then looked at the distant sky even more happily.

At this time, Kangxi took the opportunity to glance at Liang Jiugong who was hanging his head in the corner. Liang Jiugong noticed the emperor's gaze and nodded slightly. As he expected, he calmly went down the third floor holding his whisk.

After explaining the emperor's intention, he was about to go upstairs when he heard someone coming downstairs. Looking up, he saw Hongying walking down with a conflicted look on her face.

"What's this, Miss Hongying?"

"Liang, the emperor asked me to tell you to send his zither up. He happens to be free to give the second lady some pointers. Then send some snacks up. The second lady has not had dinner yet."

Liang Jiugong nodded, flicked his whisk and instructed two young eunuchs, one to run to the Qianqing Palace and the other to run to the imperial kitchen.

After Liang Jiugong finished explaining, he saw that Hongying was still confused. He rolled his eyes and figured it out. He was not in a hurry to leave, but asked with concern:

"Miss Hongying, what's wrong? With the Emperor's guidance on Shi Erge's piano skills, Shi Erge's piano skills must have improved greatly. Why do you seem unhappy?"

Hongying was so frightened when she heard this that she quickly shook her head:

"Manager Liang, you are joking. How could I not be happy? I am so happy for the Second Princess. It's just, it's just..."

She really didn't know what to say next. Liang Jiugong knew everything in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled: "Just what?"

Hongying looked around, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice:

"Manager Liang, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Liang Jiugong raised his eyebrows slightly, but for Shi Ergege's sake, he cooperated with the other party and walked to the corner.

In the corner, Hongying stopped and clenched her hands, as if to encourage herself. After a while, she finally asked:

"Manager Liang, don't you think it's not a good idea for the Emperor to meet the Second Princess in private like this?"

It's not just not good. The emperor is the father of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and will be the father of the eldest princess in the future, and the elder of the second princess. If someone sees and misunderstands him, the second princess's reputation will be ruined.

And even if the emperor is not the prince's father, he is already 38 years old, old, and has an entire harem, dozens of children, and even grandchildren. But the second princess is only 16 years old, she can almost be the emperor's daughter. This is totally incompatible!

She was in a mess, and her mind kept reappearing the scene of the emperor just rescuing the Second Princess upstairs, but still holding her tightly. Then she remembered that the other person's name was Second Princess Nanxi.

The Second Princess didn't notice it at first, but as an outsider she heard it clearly. This is a girl's maiden name, and besides her parents and brothers, only her husband can call her by her name.

Liang Jiugong, this old fox, was very smart and he could see Hongying's uneasiness and worry at a glance. It must be said that if it were someone else, as long as he was not the emperor, he would have the same reaction as Hongying.

But that was the emperor, the master he had served for decades, so he would definitely side with him, so he pretended to be puzzled and said:

"What's wrong with that? The re-election will be held soon. Princess Shi Er is the younger sister of Princess Shi Da. Princess Shi Da will be betrothed to the crown prince. I'm sure you know that."

At this point, he paused and said, "Besides, Princess Shi Er is also a concubine. She may be even more blessed!"

However, when Hongying heard Liang Jiugong mention the marriage between the eldest princess and the prince, her face changed slightly. She remembered the private entanglement between him and the fourth prince. It really made her worry all the time, for fear that it would be discovered and implicated...

No, what did Liang Zongguan just say? Hongying finally realized that Ergege was also a concubine, so maybe she was more blessed?

What does this mean?

She looked at Liang Jiugong suddenly. Liang Jiugong smiled without saying anything, but Hongying was confused and uncertain: "Manager Liang..."

"The things have arrived. We can't keep His Majesty waiting for too long. We'll go up first."

Liang Jiugong left with a smile, turned back to take the zither and box handed to him by the eunuch and went upstairs.

Hongying, who stayed downstairs, stood there blankly.
