Chapter 341 Resentment towards Nanxi for dealing with Chen Da Ying
"Nanxi, there's no need to be so polite. Get up quickly." Kangxi suppressed his inexplicable uneasiness and stepped forward to personally help Shi Nanxi up.
Shi Nanxi stood up with a smile and calmly avoided Kangxi's support.
Then, without even looking at Kangxi who was frozen in mid-air, he looked at Chen Da Ying who was hiding behind him with a timid look on his face.
"It seems that I have disturbed the emperor and Chen Da Ying's leisure."
Kangxi noticed Shi Nanxi's eyes and realized that Chen Da Ying had hidden behind him at some point. His expression suddenly changed slightly.
He quickly put his hand away, took two steps forward and stood beside the little girl, frowned, and spoke as if to answer but more like to explain:
"What disturbance? I came here because I heard the sound of the piano just like you. When I got closer, I found that the person playing the piano was Chen Da Ying who broke into the hot spring in Rehe Palace. I almost forgot about her."
Kangxi paused when he said this. Shi Nanxi narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this. He glanced at Chen Da Ying, who looked happy when he heard this, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
As Kangxi's bedmate, she still understood Kangxi a little. What he said was not what Chen Da Ying thought it meant. She obviously misunderstood.
Chen Da Ying had indeed misunderstood, thinking that the emperor remembered her in the Rehe Palace. That was the first time she was alone with the emperor.
The emperor was leaning against the hot spring pool with his upper body naked, his muscles strong, his shoulders broad, and his voice deep and sexy.
She was wearing a transparent nightgown and hugged the emperor's strong waist. The feeling of skin touching was so touching that even now Chen Da Ying couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast when she recalled it.
However, the next moment, she froze, and her rosy face instantly lost its color. Chen Da Ying stared at the emperor with wide eyes, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
The emperor spoke in a calm tone, but the words he continued to utter were icy cold.
"…Fortunately, today's piano music reminded me of this Chen who said she was ordered to deliver something to me, but she didn't even pay her respects. I forgot about it at the time, but now that I was reminded of it, I remembered it."
"Chen Da Ying, you are guilty of being disrespectful in front of the emperor. Do you admit your guilt?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became as quiet as a cold pond.
Shi Nanxi looked at the frozen Chen Da Ying, with an expression of as expected in her eyes.
Kangxi was a well-known person who loved someone to death and hated someone to death. This time, Chen Da Ying ran into Kangxi.
"…Your Majesty, please forgive me. I, your majesty…"
Chen Da Ying, who was finally sure that he had not heard wrong, suddenly became irregular in his breathing and fell to his knees with a plop. He wanted to beg for mercy but did not know how to do it.
This is completely different from what I thought. How could this happen?
Wasn’t the emperor attracted by the sound of his piano?
Aren't you interested in yourself?
Aren’t you thinking of her in the Rehe Palace?
Why are you suddenly asking about her crime?
No, it shouldn't be like this!
It’s Concubine Xian!
It's all her!
The Emperor must have said this because he saw that Concubine Xian was unhappy when she saw the two of them together!
Thinking of this, Chen Da Ying's eyes instantly turned red and he clenched his back teeth tightly. Why was it Concubine Xian again?
Why did she want to kill her? She was clearly the most favored concubine in the harem, but he didn't leave her any chance to live. She only wanted a little bit of the emperor's favor left in her fingernails, just a little bit, was that not even acceptable?
Shi Nanxi saw through the thoughts behind the change in Chen Da's eyes at a glance and almost rolled her eyes. It was a nice thought.
If the two of them exchanged their identities, would Chen Da Ying be willing to leave some of the emperor's favor for Shi Nanxi?
He can't even do it himself, yet he asks others to do it. She is not a philanthropist. Besides, how can a man share with others? If he does, he is a fool.
Kangxi also noticed the change in Chen Da Ying's expression. His hand behind his back suddenly clasped the jade ring and his eyes darkened.
"How dare you, Chen Da Ying, are you resentful of Concubine Xian?"
Chen Da Ying was already panicked when his mind was exposed, and now he collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and adjusted his posture immediately, kneeling again, lowering his head, revealing his slender neck, and said pitifully:
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I dare not hate Concubine Xian. It was just that Concubine Xian came suddenly and I did not react at the moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Concubine Xian."
However, although she said this, her eyes were filled with hatred. How could she not hate Concubine Xian?
As the person involved, Shi Nanxi didn't say a word the whole time. She just watched the scene quietly, and Kangxi pursed his lips.
He didn't dare to feel resentment, but it was not that he didn't feel resentment. As an emperor who had played the imperial game to the extreme, Chen promised that this little bit of scheming was not enough.
"You said you don't dare, then look up at me and repeat what you just said?"
After hearing this, Chen Da Ying subconsciously raised his head, but quickly remembered something and lowered it again. He still wanted to hide his true thoughts, but just one glance was enough.
Kangxi's face was gloomy. He had originally spared Chen's life because she was destined to die in the harem without favor, but he wanted to give her a light punishment as a warning.
But now seeing Chen Yading's resentment towards Nanxi, he changed his mind.
The other party was of humble status, but it would not be wrong to be cautious. Moreover, since it was a matter of concern to the little girl, he did not want to leave any possible danger to her.
Thinking of this, Kangxi no longer wasted time and said in a deep tone:
"Come here, Chen promised to be disrespectful to the emperor and demoted to a commoner from today onwards."
After he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong immediately made a hand gesture, and the next moment, two guards appeared from nowhere and walked towards the pavilion.
Chen Da Ying's mind went blank at this moment. He was demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace!
Commoner, cold palace! Commoner, cold palace! No!
Chen Da Ying immediately shook his head wildly, unwilling to believe it. She was very beautiful and charming. Everyone who saw her would praise her as a beauty and believe that she would have a bright future.
She spoke modestly, but when she was alone in front of the mirror, looking at her stunning appearance, she revealed her strong ambition. She was so beautiful that she was destined to be extraordinary.
Sure enough, before the selection, she was approached by Niohuru and asked to enter the palace to consolidate the favor of Concubine Niohuru. Of course she was willing. Not only was she willing, but deep down in her heart she also wanted to replace her, just like Concubine De and Empress Xiaoyi did before.
How could she be demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace before she even slept with the emperor, got favored, or was given a high position? She was unwilling to accept this!!!
"No, Your Majesty, I really don't hate Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian, please say something. I really don't hate you!"
When being dragged out by two guards, Chen Da Ying finally reacted. Seeing the emperor's expressionless face, she had no choice but to look for help at Concubine Xian, who had been silent all the time.
Shi Nanxi looked at the embarrassed Chen Da Ying, no, Chen Shu Ren, with a calm look in her eyes. She said calmly:
"Stop it first."
As soon as these words came out, the two guards looked at each other, not knowing whether to stop.
Chen Da Ying's desperate eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He suddenly broke free from the guards' restraints, knelt in front of Shi Nanxi, and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy:
"My Lady Xian, my Lady Xian, I really don't hate you. Please ask the Emperor to forgive me this time!"
Kangxi looked at Shi Nanxi's actions and said nothing, but subconsciously protected the little girl behind him.
