Chapter 261 Visiting Xixi Chen agrees to meet
Because she woke up early and the note incident happened suddenly, Shi Nanxi didn't feel like taking another nap. She got up directly, washed, had breakfast, and then went to the side hall to visit Xixi.
"Hey, isn't that Xiao Anzi? It seems he went to see Xixi. That's right, he likes Xixi so much. If he knew Xixi was not feeling well, he would definitely go to see her."
Hongying saw the figure coming out of the side hall and immediately recognized who it was. But when Xixi was mentioned, she remembered what happened last night and felt both guilty and distressed.
Shi Nanxi looked at Xiao Anzi who disappeared around the corner, and his appearance appeared in her mind. He had an exceptionally handsome face, fair skin, tall stature, and a thin figure. He stood out among the eunuchs.
He was very much favored by the young palace maids. As far as Shi Nanxi knew, several young palace maids in her palace all had a good impression of Xiao Anzi.
However, the palace strictly prohibited palace maids and eunuchs from having sex. If they were discovered, they would be immediately sent to the Ministry of Punishment for the crime of committing adultery in the harem.
Shi Nanxi didn't want such a thing to happen in her palace. She didn't mean to look down on the eunuchs and palace maids, but the more favored they were, the more careful and vigilant they had to be. She didn't want to be caught and implicated.
Fortunately, Xiao Anzi is law-abiding, honest and low-key, and he didn't do anything rash. She also reminded him from time to time, but he hasn't crossed the line so far, so the topic returned to the original topic.
Xiao Anzi doesn't like to join in the fun on weekdays, but he likes Xixi very much, or rather, he likes cats. In modern times, such people are called cat slaves and poop shovelers.
Ever since Xixi was given to her to raise by Kangxi, Xiao Anzi couldn't take his eyes off Xixi every time he saw her. Although Xixi was not taken care of by him, he knew what kind of toys and food Xixi liked. If Xixi behaved in the slightest way one day, he would definitely discover it.
He even volunteered to shovel poop and clean the house in order to be closer to Xixi.
However, Shi Nanxi was a cautious person. The only two people she trusted in the palace were Hongying and Nanny Yang. Although she had investigated Xiao Anzi's background and found no problems, and did not find anything unusual about him after he came to Chuxiu Palace, she still remained on guard.
Moreover, she has also watched TV dramas about palace fighting. Although the filming may not be accurate, it is very likely that the plots in which concubines use cats to plot against people are true.
Xixi is the cat who comes into contact with her every day. For her own sake and for Xixi's safety, she refused Xiao Anzi's request.
However, Shi Nanxi did not say anything about Xiao Anzi occasionally hiding in the distance to watch Xixi, but she ordered that no one was allowed to touch Xixi without her permission. This was also a disguised way of doing things for the good of the palace people to prevent them from being used and framed.
Xixi smelled catnip last night and has been listless recently. Xiao Anzi found it normal to visit her.
But Shi Nanxi frowned slightly. Xixi had been used for the second time, so she had to be more vigilant. She would later tell Qing'er that no one was allowed to enter Xixi's residence or visit Xixi without her permission.
After making a decision in their minds, the group quickly arrived at the side hall.
Shi Nanxi immediately saw Xixi lying in the nest, curled up in a ball with a depressed look on her face.
In addition, there was a golden collar around its neck compared to before, with a rope on the collar and the other end of the rope tied to a pillar. It looked like a tied puppy with no freedom at all.
Shi Nanxi's expression remained unchanged, but her pace slightly quickened.
Qing'er was combing Xixi's hair. When she heard the noise, she immediately put down the comb and stood up to greet her.
"Your servant greets the Majesty, may the Majesty be blessed."
"Get up."
Shi Nanxi walked past Qing'er, picked up Xixi, and combed its hair herself.
Xixi obediently let her mistress hold her, blinked her cat eyes, and meowed weakly.
Shi Nanxi didn't say anything, but she combed Xixi's hair more gently, and occasionally scratched Xixi's chin. Xixi liked to have her chin scratched, and it felt very comfortable to have her chin scratched.
After being served by the mistress like this, Xixi finally regained some spirit. It lay in the mistress's arms, squinted its cat eyes, and meowed.
Hongying, who was standing by, saw this scene and put her worries aside for a while. She said with both annoyance and joy:
"It's all my fault for being too careless last night. Fortunately, Xixi is fine, otherwise I would have blamed myself."
Qing'er comforts Hongying:
"Xixi ran away halfway because she was not used to taking a hot spring bath for the first time. It has nothing to do with Sister Hongying. Don't blame yourself too much."
It was too late last night and she had not had the chance to tell anyone about the catnip. After learning about the note incident, Shi Nanxi decided to let Chen Da Ying attract other people's attention in public so that she could investigate secretly, and she kept the catnip matter secret for the time being.
So Qing'er didn't know that Xixi ran away last night because she couldn't adapt to the hot springs, so Hongying just smiled and thanked:
"I'm fine, thank you."
As he said this, he suddenly said:
"Qing'er, is the green silk flower on your head newly made? I feel like I've never seen you wear it before, but it suits you very well."
Qing'er's eyelashes trembled when she heard that. She raised her hand to touch the green silk flower on her head and pursed her lips and nodded.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Shi Nanxi, who was holding Xixi, looked over subconsciously and saw the green silk flower on Qing'er's head.
It is very suitable for Qing'er's name. It is not a kind of gorgeous flower, but an elegant lilac, which symbolizes purity, sorrow and longing hidden deep in the heart. The workmanship is exquisite and lifelike, which matches Qing'er's temperament very well.
"Not bad." She followed up with the compliment: "Qing'er looks good in it. It suits you better than the silk flowers you wore casually before. Wear them like this from now on."
Just after she finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed through Shi Nanxi's mind, but before she could grasp it, Xiao Ruzi's voice interrupted her:
"My Lady, the outer sect Chen agreed to come and see you. She said that everything that happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. She came to you to apologize and explain. Would you like to see her?"
"Who wants to see the Queen?"
Without waiting for Shi Nanxi to speak, Hongying immediately became furious and said:
"What a good Chen Da Ying. Your Majesty did not blame her. She came to your door and asked for forgiveness? I think she is just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to chickens with ulterior motives. Your Majesty, if you don't want to see her, I will chase her away right away."
Compared to the angry Hongying, Shi Nanxi hugged Xixi without even moving her eyelashes.
"Chen Da Ying is very scheming and good at disguise. If you drive her away, it will be exactly what she wants."
Shi Nanxi gently scratched Xixi's chin and said in a light tone:
"And if I hadn't guessed, many concubines would have been on their way after hearing this news. If I didn't see Chen Da Ying, they would definitely not stand idly by and would definitely find a way to get me to let Chen Da Ying in. Most importantly, if I didn't see Chen Da Ying, wouldn't it make others think that I was afraid of her and welcomed them in?"
The latter sentence is addressed to Xiao Ruzi.
Xiao Ruzi immediately agreed
And outside, just as Shi Nanxi had said, in addition to Chen Da Ying, many other concubines came one after another. They did not go in, but stood there, looking at Chen Da Ying, pointing and whispering.
