Chapter 312 Kang Hu Nanxi gives up the near and seeks the far
When Shi Mu met Shi Nanxi's gaze, she was apparently calm, but she felt a chill on her back for no reason. When she came to her senses, she immediately became angry and embarrassed.
She was just a sickly girl. She almost had a difficult delivery and her body was damaged. She gave birth to her only legitimate son several years late. Now that she became Empress Xian, she no longer took her mother seriously. After all, she gave birth to her and raised her.
So I couldn't help but say:
"How dare I question your majesty! That's not what I meant!"
"What's not the meaning?"
Suddenly, a deep and deep voice was heard from outside the door, and the next moment, Kangxi strode in.
Shi Mu's face turned pale instantly.
Shi Nanxi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief at this time. When she put the handkerchief away, a pair of red eyes were exposed. She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice. With her little white face and hairstyle, she was simply a pitiful white lotus.
"… I have met His Majesty. May His Majesty be blessed with good fortune!"
She got up hurriedly. Normally, she would look happy, but now she lowered her eyelids slightly, trying to hide her red eyes.
But unfortunately, the first thing Kangxi looked at the little girl when he came in, and he happened to see the red eyes that the little girl was trying hard to hide.
His heart ached suddenly. Without even looking at the frightened Shi Mu, he quickly stepped forward, held Shi Nanxi's hand, and asked softly:
"What's wrong? Has anyone bullied my Imperial Concubine Xian?"
What? ? ?
Concubine Xian???
Shi Mu reacted and stood up to salute, but she was struck by lightning. Did she hear it wrong? Was the emperor talking about Concubine Xian instead of Noble Concubine Xian?
The next moment, this thought came back to her face, and she heard Shi Nanxi say:
"Your Majesty, the imperial edict has not been issued yet!"
Kangxi didn't care. He took the girl's hand and sat down. After sitting down, he did not let go of her hand, but played with it in his palm.
"It's okay. The imperial edict will be read out at the banquet later."
After saying that, he turned the topic back.
"You haven't answered me yet. Did someone bully you?"
These words were indifferent, as if asking: "Is the weather good today?" However, when Shi Mu heard them, she wished she could faint at that moment.
Why is the emperor coming here?
What did the emperor just hear?
How much did you hear?
Will the emperor punish me?
The panicked Shi Mu no longer had the aggressive attitude she had just shown in front of Shi Nanxi. She looked at Shi Nanxi with a pleading face, hoping that she would not tell the emperor what she had just said.
When Shi Nanxi received Shi Mu's gaze, she lowered her eyelids slightly, her eyes were calm and clear, and she didn't feel very happy.
Shimu begged her because she was afraid that Kangxi would pursue her and punish her. She was taking advantage of the situation. If one day Shimu begged her because she was afraid, then she would be happy.
Now that the Stone Mother dared to come up to her and give her orders and questioning as if it was her right, it just showed that she was not strong enough, otherwise the Stone Mother would just be afraid of pleasing her.
However, in Kangxi's eyes, this expression meant that he was really being bullied and wronged. His heart ached and his face darkened slightly.
"Your Majesty, no one has ever bullied me. Really. Today is my birthday. I am so happy."
At this time, Shi Nanxi spoke in a gentle voice, and then smiled softly at Kangxi, as if to indicate that she was really fine and there was no need to worry.
However, Kangxi felt even more distressed.
The little girl's eyes were still red, but in order not to worry, she forced herself to comfort herself. How could this girl still be so stupid!
Feeling extremely soft-hearted and distressed, Kangxi clenched the little hand in his hand and said solemnly:
"You are my Imperial Concubine Xian, of noble status. Anyone who dares to bully you, no matter who they are or what their status is, will be arrested and sent to the Ministry of Punishment."
There was no mention of Shi Mu in these words, but Shi Mu's whole body was stiff. A chill ran straight up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Her legs went weak and she almost fell down. Fortunately, she was supported in time by Nanny Tang, but her face was pale without a trace of blood.
When Kangxi heard the noise, he seemed to see the Stone Mother.
"Oh, Madam Shi is here. I was so busy talking to Concubine Xian that I forgot to ask you to get up. Hurry up and get up!"
"...Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shi Mu was helped to sit down by Nanny Tang, taking one step at a time. She tried her best to act calm, but the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn, and she was extremely frightened.
Kangxi retracted his gaze and continued to play with the little girl's hands, without raising his head.
"Madam Shi is not feeling well. Why don't you look well? Should we call the imperial physician to take a look? Otherwise, Imperial Concubine Xian will definitely be worried. She won't let you go to the banquet. There will be many people and it will be noisy there. It will be inconvenient to call the imperial physician."
Shi Mu's heart skipped a beat, and her mind was particularly sharp at this moment.
The emperor's words seemed to be out of concern for her, but in fact, he was asking her not to put on a bad face when she went out later, so as not to make people misunderstand Concubine Xian and gossip about her. The same principle also applied to the banquet, which was noisy with too many people.
After coming to this conclusion, Shi Mu's entire back was soaked, and she said hurriedly:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. I was just too excited to sleep well last night because I was thinking about going to the palace to attend the birthday banquet for the queen. That's why I looked a little haggard. Now that I see that the queen is fine, I am so happy. I will go out later."
"I hope you're alright, ma'am."
Kangxi replied lightly and stopped talking. After Kangxi spoke, Shi Nanxi did not speak again.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he spoke softly:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble. I thank you very much."
Kangxi squeezed the little girl's hand and a smile returned to his face.
On the other side, Shi Mu was feeling very uncomfortable and just wanted to escape. But when she saw the two men, she took the opportunity to leave.
Shi Nanxi did not try to keep her, but just told Shi Mu to send someone to tell her when she left the palace that she had prepared gifts for her and her family. Then she glanced at Hongying, and Hongying nodded, indicating that she would send Shi Mu out.
Only after Shi Mu disappeared at the door did Kangxi raise his head and touch the little girl's red eyes with heartache.
"I was late and made you suffer."
Shi Nanxi felt the warm touch on the skin at the corner of her eye, her eyelashes trembled, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
"As long as the emperor is here, I will not be wronged."
Kangxi didn't say anything else, but his hands became more gentle and caring.
On the other side, Hongying escorted Shimu to the gate of Chuxiu Palace.
"lady."
Shi Mu was like a frightened bird. When she saw Hong Ying talking, her heart tightened. She forced herself to say:
"Miss Hongying, what instructions does the Queen have?"
The red tassel brings blessings to the body,
He smiled and said:
"No, the Queen just wanted to ask if the Master is doing well recently and if he has sent any letters. The Master is away and the Queen is really worried!"
When she heard that it was Shi's father that was being asked about, Shi's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and told him about Shi's father's situation. After a while, Hongying finished listening and prepared to go back to the house.
Before leaving, Hongying kept smiling and leaned close to Shimu's ear, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"The Queen said that Concubine Shi has a hold on the secret agents in the Guarjia Palace, so why bother looking for something far away?"
After saying this, he bowed respectfully and left.
The stone mother at the door was struck by lightning!
