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

"The sunset is so beautiful, but it is near dusk." Kangxi stopped playing the piano, looked at the large orange sunset in the distance, and suddenly sighed.

Shi Nanxi followed Kangxi's gaze and said, "Even though dusk has arrived, there is sunrise only after sunset, and new hope appears!"

Kangxi turned his head, and under the orange light, Shi Nanxi seemed to be covered with a halo, giving a sense of unreality.

At this moment, a gust of spring breeze blew the star earrings on her ears, as if the stars in the sky were winking at him. He moved his fingers slightly, and couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to confirm whether the stars really existed.

However, halfway through stretching it, he suddenly stopped.

Shi Nanxi, with her hair messed up by the wind, looked over with some confusion:

"emperor?"

Kangxi paused in mid-air, then picked up a leaf from above Shi Nanxi's head, smiled and said, "A fallen leaf."

"...Oh, thank you, Your Majesty."

Shi Nanxi thanked him obediently, then put down her hand and looked at the distant sky again.

Kangxi looked at the little girl in front of him. After a while, his fingers suddenly moved, and the next moment a sound of piano sounded.

Different from the previous quiet and peaceful piano music, this song seems to contain lingering lovesickness, as if expressing infinite beauty and yearning for someone or something.

Shi Nanxi had never heard of this piano piece, so she listened attentively.

One of them played the piano while the other listened. Under the setting sun, the scene was so beautiful that it looked like a painting. Seeing this, Liang Jiugong held his whisk and smiled without saying a word.

In contrast, Hongying couldn't help but speculate and doubt as she looked at this scene. What blessing is greater than a princess becoming a crown princess?

Unless... She was so scared that she shook her head quickly, how could it be possible? But after a while she couldn't help but start to think about it again.

When the song ended, Shi Nanxi thought about it for a while, then looked at Kangxi:

"What was the name of the piece the Emperor just played? It was very different from the previous ones."

Kangxi placed his hands on the strings of the zither. Hearing this, he looked straight at Shi Nanxi. When the other party was puzzled, he moved his thin lips slightly: "Longing."

"Longing for you?" Shi Nanxi murmured again: "It sounds nice."

Kangxi smiled, but his eyelashes drooped slightly, making it impossible to tell his emotion at the moment. It was getting late, and it was time for the two of them to return to the palace.

"Thank you for your guidance today, Your Majesty. It's time for me to return to the palace."

Shi Nanxi stood up and was the first to ask Kangxi to leave.

Kangxi looked gentle:

"It's time for me to leave."

"Then I will see you off respectfully." Shi Nanxi thought for a moment, leaned back, and moved away. Kangxi said:

"You go first. I have to go to Qiandong Wusuo later."

Qiandong Wusuo is the residence of the prince. Shi Nanxi did not ask the other party why he went there at this time, but bowed and said:

"Then I will take my leave first."

Kangxi nodded slightly, silently watching Shi Nanxi's back as she left. Shi Nanxi, who was about to go downstairs, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked:

"Your Majesty, can I play the song "Long Sang Si" for you?"

Kangxi's heart skipped a beat. Why did she play Chang Xiang Si for him? However, before he could think about it any further, he heard the other party say:

"I think this piece of music is very nice, especially when Your Majesty plays it, it always feels very touching. I would like to learn it and ask you to give me some advice, okay?"

It turns out that I just thought I played the piano well and wanted him to give me some advice!

Kangxi felt a little disappointed for some reason and did not answer for a while. Shi Nanxi, who did not hear Kangxi's answer, bit her lip lightly, looking nervous.

Was she too shameless? The emperor was very busy and it was good enough that he could give her guidance for two afternoons.

At this moment, Kangxi caught a glimpse of the uneasiness on Shi Nanxi's face, came back to his senses, and said:

"Yes, but I am very busy with government affairs and cannot confirm the time."

"Your Majesty, your government affairs are important. How can I take up your time with such a trivial matter as yours?" Shi Nanxi's face turned from uneasiness to surprise.

Kangxi nodded: "Then I will have someone notify you when I have time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not disturb you any more and will take my leave now."

Shi Nanxi's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and she then left with Hongying.

After leaving the Yuyin Pavilion, Shi Nanxi looked at Hongying who seemed absent-minded beside him. After some thought, he made a rough guess and was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he stopped. Hongying beside him was a beat slower to react and stopped as well.

"Second Princess, what's wrong?"

"Should I ask you what's wrong?" Shi Nanxi asked softly, "You look absent-minded. Are you feeling unwell or did something happen to you?"

Hongying bit her lip lightly after hearing this, with a conflicted look on her face. She still couldn't guess what Manager Liang meant by his words.

Maybe I was overthinking it, but I couldn't help but think of how the emperor treated the Second Princess. Now looking at it from another angle, it was indeed a bit unlike the way an ordinary elder treats a younger person.

But the emperor is the father of the Crown Prince, and he is 22 years older than my second princess. This...

But if you don't think too much, then wouldn't it be possible for the Second Princess to enter the palace as a concubine? In this way, wouldn't she not have to worry about being implicated by the First Princess's affair, or being dismissed by the cruel Madam Shi after she surrendered?

But if Ergege knows her personality, will she be unable to accept it?

"Second Princess, what do you think of the Emperor?" After holding it in for a long time, she couldn't help but ask tentatively.

Shi Nanxi glanced around and saw that it was a small path with no one passing by and there was no place to hide, so he replied softly:

"The Emperor is very good. He is gentle, tolerant, mature, steady, patient, and versatile. More importantly..."

"What is it?" Hongying asked anxiously.

"More importantly, the emperor never looked down on me for being stupid, nor did he despise me for growing up on a farm with little experience. He saved me many times and was willing to teach me how to play the zither. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been so kind to me, not even my father and mother."

As Shi Nanxi spoke, she lowered her head as usual, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She quickly turned her head away and secretly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Second Princess..."

Hongying was heartbroken when she saw this. At this moment, she suddenly hoped that she was not overthinking. Otherwise, she couldn't imagine what would happen when Ergege was sent back to the mansion without a name tag...

Thinking of this, she suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Second Princess, didn't you say before that you would make plans for yourself? So what do you think of the emperor?"

"…What about the Emperor?"

Shi Nanxi looked at Hongying in confusion with slightly red eyes. It seemed that Liang Jiugong had revealed something to Hongying today, but Kangxi had not made his feelings clear to her yet, so she could not show her affection for Kangxi first.

Otherwise, not only would he lose the initiative, but Kangxi might also lose interest in hunting. So without waiting for Hongying to answer, he said:

"Hongying, I feel a little dizzy. It might be because I'm hungry." I didn't have dinner and only had some pastries in the middle. I was indeed feeling a little dizzy from hunger.

"Ah, then let's go back quickly," Hongying was interrupted and immediately threw the temptation behind her and said quickly.

Heather Brook nodded.
