Chapter 96: Xiao Conspiracy
In the tea room, Hongying held Zixia's hand and was about to speak when she didn't expect the other party to kneel down first. She was immediately shocked:
"Zixia, what are you doing? Get up!"
However, Zixia cried and shook her head: "I can't get up, Hongying, I beg you, please save me this time..."
"What's going on? Get up first!"
Hongying was anxious and panicked, and wanted to pull Zixia up, but Zixia refused to get up. Instead, she pulled up her sleeves to reveal her wrists. Hongying looked over and saw an emerald bracelet on her wrist. She immediately exclaimed:
"Isn't this the jade bracelet that the eldest princess likes the most? Why is it on your hand? Was it a reward from the eldest princess? What happened?"
She knew clearly how the eldest princess treated Zixia on weekdays, so how could she reward Zixia with such an expensive bracelet for no reason? At this time, Zixia took out the stack of banknotes again and spread them on the ground with a devastated look on her face.
"Hongying, the eldest princess has gone crazy. She actually asked me to make aphrodisiacs for her. If I am caught, it will be a serious crime. Does she think that I will give up my life, my parents and my family for the sake of money?"
What? Aphrodisiac? What does the princess need aphrodisiac for?
Hongying's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that the other party had just taken the initiative to greet the Second Princess. That person had always been arrogant and domineering to the Second Princess, but now he suddenly softened his stance. As the saying goes, if someone shows kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
She suddenly thought of a possibility, her face turned pale, and she ran to find Ergege, when Zixia's voice woke her up:
"Hongying, where are you going?"
Hongying suddenly stopped and calmed down. She needed to calm down.
This is just her guess now, and the eldest princess is in the room now. It would not be convenient for her to go in and tell the second princess. On the contrary, it might reveal something strange and let the eldest princess notice it, thus exposing Zixia.
Thinking of this, she managed to calm down, turned back and pulled Zixia up, holding her hand tightly, and said solemnly:
"Zixia, don't be afraid. I will tell the Second Princess about this. Don't let the First Princess find out that you are unwilling. Wait for me to report to the Second Princess and wait for her instructions."
As she spoke, she looked into Zixia's eyes:
"Believe me, believe Ergege."
Zixia bit her lip and then nodded heavily.
On the other hand, after listening to Shi Rongyue's words, Shi Nanxi realized that because the end of the month was Kangxi's 38th birthday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was now preparing for a birthday banquet. Among them, the Kunqu opera troupe invited from Jiangnan would arrive in Beijing in advance, and the time would be three days later.
The Empress Dowager has always loved listening to operas. She couldn't wait until the end of the month, so she planned to invite the ladies of all palaces to Changyin Pavilion to listen to the Kunqu opera the next day.
At that time, in addition to the concubines and princesses, the princes will also be there, and Shi Rongyue will naturally not be left out. She told her now.
She will ask the Queen Mother to take her with her that day, and she will then arrange for her to meet the Crown Prince. There will definitely be no mistakes this time, and as long as she is obedient and cooperates, she will be guaranteed to get what she wants.
Shi Nanxi gently lowered her eyelashes, guaranteeing that she would get what she wanted?
What could have made Shi Rongyue say such a confident statement? Could it be...
Thinking about the words that the other party told her to wear a modern bra to seduce the prince on the first day of her time travel, she couldn't help but have a bold guess in her heart, and her calm eyes suddenly turned cold.
Given the other party's personality, it is possible that he would do that. However, if it was true, she would gladly accept such a big gift. However, the object would be changed to the prince's father - Kangxi.
He had a plan in mind, but he pretended to be hesitant, yet couldn't resist the temptation.
Shi Rongyue was very proud of this, knowing that as long as she mentioned the prince, Shi Nanxi would be tempted, but she continued to make big promises:
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I will not only make your wish come true, but I will also ask your father and mother to prepare more dowry for you, and you can just wait to marry the prince in glory."
A hint of sarcasm flashed through Shi Nanxi's mind. If she really listened to her, she would be caught in bed with her husband and criticized by everyone, unable to defend herself. How could she get what she wished for and have a grand wedding?
The prince and the parents probably wanted to eat her.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Sister, I'll listen to you, but..." She seemed a little hesitant and confused.
"Just what..." Shi Rongyue frowned. Did he regret it again?
Heather lowered her head and hummed for a long time before she asked in a voice so small that I could barely hear her:
"It's just that, elder sister, didn't you say before that you would no longer, no longer...care about me? Why...are you still helping me?"
What caused Shi Rongyue to suddenly make this decision? Was it because the time for re-election was approaching and the other party was desperate?
Shi Rongyue didn't expect that Shi Nanxi would ask this. When she thought of this, she remembered the quarrel between them before, and her anger flared up again.
This person suspected that she was addicted, but was also worried that Shi Nanxi would not cooperate when the time came, so she half coaxed and half threatened:
"Didn't I say before that I was just angry at the time? You and I are sisters from the same mother, and twins, so we are closer than anyone else. How can I not wish you the best?
But if you continue to be so suspicious, I will really get angry. I will then send a letter to my mother and ask her to find a husband for you in advance. When you leave the palace, I will marry you off far away."
In fact, she wrote a letter to Shi's mother the day after she had a falling out with Shi Nanxi, and the other party probably has already started looking for her now.
She also deliberately mentioned that she wanted the other party to find someone who could help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
That kind of person is either a dandy young man from a wealthy family, or a widower who has a high social status but lost his wife. Otherwise, how could a young, prestigious and capable person like Shi Nanxi?
"No, no, elder sister, I'll obey you, I'll obey you, I won't be suspicious anymore, please don't write to mother, I don't want to marry someone far away."
It turned out that when Zixia said that day that the other party wrote a letter to Shi's mother, it was not just a simple complaint. There was also this incident. Shi Nanxi was just testing the waters, but she didn't expect that she would find out something else.
Shi Rongyue is a person of that kind of personality. How could she possibly endure this? Since she could say such words, it meant that the other party had already done so.
Very good!
In this case, it is time to let Kangxi slowly get to know Shi Rongyue's true face. As for Madam Shi, after so much preparation, it depends on her conscience this time and whether she can continue to act like a mother in front of him in the future.
Shi Rongyue raised her chin.
Appearing superior:
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't written it yet. Think about it. Your Highness is not comparable to those ugly people out there. Don't I understand your heart?"
"I understand. My elder sister is doing this for my own good. I see clearly. I will definitely listen to you." Shi Nanxi picked up the handkerchief and wiped her eyes with a grateful look on her face.
"That's good." Shi Rongyue was in a good mood. Just then, Hongying and Zixia came back with water. She said happily, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk."
Humph, I wasn't in the mood to deal with those people outside just now, but now that I'm free, let's see if those people dare to say another word to me.
Upon hearing this, Zixia quickly put down the copper basin, wiped her hands and followed. Before leaving, she glanced at Hongying secretly, and Hongying nodded secretly.
