Chapter 135: Touching the forehead, adding a general
Shi Nanxi followed Liang Jiugong to the Xianlou of the Qianqing Palace, where the incident happened yesterday. When she went up to the second floor, she saw Kangxi standing by the window with his hands behind his back. Although she couldn't see his front, his aura seemed a little depressed compared to before.
She paused, walked forward lightly, one step behind Kangxi, and looked at the distant sky quietly without saying a word.
After a while, Kangxi did not turn around, but a voice suddenly rang out:
"Why don't you speak when you come?"
Shi Nanxi did not move, but replied softly:
"I saw that the emperor was in deep thought, so I didn't disturb him."
After that, the atmosphere became quiet again.
Kangxi looked at the distant sky. The bright sky gradually darkened and the clouds turned into dark clouds like fish scales. This was a sign of rain. However, the Imperial Observatory had clearly reported to him yesterday that today would be a sunny day.
He pursed his lips and spoke again, his voice a little low:
"I was just thinking, the Imperial Observatory calculates the weather every day, but for some reason it is not always accurate."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi didn't think that Kangxi would talk to her about the weather at this moment. She thought quickly in her mind, why can't we predict the weather accurately?
Throughout the ages, the weather has always been compared to people’s moods. But is it possible to accurately predict moods?
She instantly thought of what happened yesterday. No, it should be that Kangxi was secretly predicting that her judgment was wrong.
When she saw Shi Rongyue yesterday, she was thinking that the other party had committed several serious crimes such as deceiving the emperor and deceiving his superiors. Even if Kangxi was concerned about the reputation of the royal family, if he wanted to kill a concubine, he could just say she died of an acute illness.
But although Shi Rongyue was in a miserable state, she was still fine. She didn't think it was all thanks to the Fourth Prince who was tricked by Shi Rongyue.
What's more, the Fourth Prince himself is in danger. Kangxi will not let go of Shi Rongyue, who played with his two sons. The Empress Dowager has also been eliminated. She was deceived so badly by Shi Rongyue and never interfered in the affairs of the princes. So only the Crown Prince is left.
The prince must have fallen in love with Shi Rongyue, so even though she betrayed him, used him, and made him lose face, he still helped her at the last moment.
Should I say this or not? This result was definitely beyond Kangxi's initial expectations, so Kangxi said this.
After a few thoughts, she did not say anything about her own insights, but tilted her head and looked at Kangxi, with a puzzled look on her face:
"Your Majesty, the weather is controlled by God. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory is just a human being. How can a human being always predict God's thoughts? It is normal for them to be inaccurate occasionally. Otherwise, wouldn't we be like a worm in God's stomach?"
Kangxi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he laughed. How could the Imperial Observatory become a worm in God's stomach?
Thinking of this, she was a little stunned. Yes, he was not the prince. The prince was only seventeen years old, too young, and it was his first time experiencing love. Shi Rongyue was good at disguise. Although her personality was frivolous and bold, she was unique compared with other well-behaved women. That's why he fell in love with her.
It's better to save Shi Rongyue's life now. Time will tell. Based on his style of doing things, one day the prince will completely let go of him.
On the contrary, if the prince had been sentenced to death directly at that time, he might have regretted it later.
"Your Majesty." At this time, Shi Nanxi turned to look at Kangxi and called him softly.
Kangxi looked down at her when he heard this:
"what happened?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a warm and cool hand on his forehead. He paused, but did not dodge. Shi Nanxi stood on tiptoe and gently smoothed the wrinkles on Kangxi's forehead. Her movements were gentle, with a hint of heartache.
Kangxi lowered his head and let Shi Nanxi do what she wanted. His expression did not change. But when Shi Nanxi smoothed out the wrinkles and let go, he grabbed her hand, then raised his other hand and gently tugged at her hair, whispering:
"It's going to rain soon. I'll have someone bring you an umbrella. Go back to Chuxiu Palace first. Don't worry about the palace selection tomorrow. I'll be there in person."
After hearing this, Shi Nanxi hummed softly and looked at Kangxi with trust:
"With the Emperor here, I am not worried at all."
Kangxi's eyes were gentle, and he leaned over and gently kissed Shi Nanxi on the forehead. Shi Nanxi's eyelashes trembled, and she felt a little shy, but no longer as uncomfortable as before.
Soon, Liang Jiugong personally escorted Shi Nanxi down from the fairy tower. Halfway through the journey, there was a sudden thunder in the sky and spring rain began to fall. Hongying quickly opened an oil-paper umbrella to block the rain over Shi Nanxi's head.
When Shi Nanxi returned to Chuxiu Palace, she happened to see Danzhu's daughter Nara coming out of her and Shi Rongyue's room. Her footsteps paused slightly, and the next moment she walked as usual. But when she was about to enter the door, she suddenly heard the voice of Nanny Yang from behind her.
"Princess Shi Er."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi stood in the corridor and turned to look at Nanny Yang at the door of the palace.
Nanny Yang walked slowly towards Shi Nanxi holding an umbrella. When she arrived, she did not speak first, but glanced at the oil-paper umbrella in Hongying's hand which was still dripping with water.
Shi Nanxi followed the other person's line of sight, her expression normal without showing any abnormality. At this time, Nanny Yang retracted her gaze, looked at Shi Nanxi and congratulated her:
"Congratulations to Princess Shi Er."
Shi Nanxi met Nanny Yang's meaningful gaze and gently tucked her hair around her ears, her tone as gentle as before.
"Thank you, Madam Yang, and thank you for your comments."
Nanny Yang remained silent:
"Girl Shi Er is so polite. I believe that even without this old slave, everything will go smoothly for her."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi did not continue the conversation, but instead, holding her handkerchief, suddenly changed the subject.
"I heard that Madam Yang was originally planning to leave the palace, but she had no choice but to stay in the palace because of a sudden disaster in her family. I felt sorry for Madam Yang since I heard about it. But she is gone, and Madam Yang still has to move forward. Who knows when she will see the light of day."
Nanny Yang, who had been indifferent all along, changed her expression slightly. She looked at Shi Nanxi deeply, and after a long moment, she said:
"Shi Ergege's playing of the zither is getting better and better. I really hope that I can hear the music of Ergege again after the selection."
Shi Nanxi still looked weak and gentle, and smiled shyly at this moment.
"Thank you for your praise, Madam Yang. I also feel that I have a good relationship with Madam Yang. If I can continue to receive Madam Yang's guidance in the future, I think Nanxi will make greater progress."
Nanny Yang looked at Shi Nanxi deeply, nodded slightly, then went out again with an umbrella in hand. When Nanny Yang's figure disappeared, Shi Nanxi looked up at the rainy sky, suddenly chuckled, and turned back into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he met Shi Rongyue's gloomy eyes. Because of the broad bean powder and being forcibly awakened, even though Shi Rongyue had rested for a night, his body was still very weak.
Although the rash on his face has subsided a little, it is still very much there, and considering his current look, it is really scary.
"Shi Nanxi, you are finally back. I thought you didn't dare to come back?"
Hearing this, Shi Nanxi seemed puzzled and said:
"What do you mean, elder sister?"
"What do you mean?" Shi Rongyue's anger was rising rapidly.
"You actually asked me what I meant? I told you long ago that you are not allowed to use my name to gain benefits, but now you are using me to get into trouble and leave a sign. How can you be so shameless?"
Thick-skinned? Shi Nanxi paused at Shi Rongyue's face. She was not angry, but her expression faded a little.
"My elder sister told me yesterday not to speculate about others and to think more about myself. I think that makes sense, but I don't agree with what my elder sister said. What does your accident have to do with whether I keep the brand? I kept the brand because I won the favor of the noble man with my handwriting."
As he spoke, he thought of the scene where Danzhu's daughter, Nara, had just walked out of the house. He knew what was going on and said,
"But did the elder sister listen to other people's instigation and misunderstand? When I came back just now, I saw that Nara Gege coming out of the house. I heard that their direct descendant is the Ulanara clan."
Shi Rongyue, who was about to speak, heard the words "Ulanara" and suddenly grabbed the corner of the quilt. Then he thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
Seeing this, Shi Nanxi said casually:
"Oh, elder sister, I've heard that getting angry has a great impact on the disease of disobedience. The angrier you get, the harder it will be to heal, and it may even leave scars."
What? Getting angry will leave scars? Shi Rongyue was so scared that she covered her face. She absolutely couldn't leave scars on her face. Then she gritted her teeth and thought.
What a vicious little bitch Ulanala Hesui is! She is trying to disfigure her!
Shi Nanxi saw Shi Rongyue gritting her teeth and gently lowered her eyelashes.
Let this girl fight with Ulanala and Sui, she will suffer in the future!
Palace election the next day.
