Chapter 132: The Announcement to the Public Makes the Stone Mother Faint
When Shi Nanxi saw Kangxi again, the birthday banquet was almost over. Kangxi came back slowly, but no one else was there.
She took a look, then glanced casually around the table, seeing that the celebration was still lively, with singing and dancing, but from time to time someone would look at the empty seats.
It seems that news in the palace spreads very quickly. She slowly picked up the teacup and concealed the gleam in her eyes.
When the Wanshou Festival was over, the sun had already set in the west. Shi Nanxi, who had come out with the crowd, stopped in a corner and looked into the distance. The orange-yellow light fell on her face, slightly warm and gentle, and she slowly closed her eyes.
It will be soon, the sun has set and tomorrow is coming. The closer we get to the final moment, the more we need to stay calm.
"Girl Shi Er is very lucky."
Suddenly, a greeting sounded in her ears. Shi Nanxi calmed down, opened her eyes calmly and looked over. She saw Xiao Chunzi kneeling in front of her.
"Eunuch Xiaochunzi, please stand up. What are you doing?"
Xiao Chunzi stood up and said in a low voice:
"To Second Princess Shi, I am here to convey a message for the Emperor. During the banquet today, First Princess Shi was watching fireworks with the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince in the Fairy Tower. She was tricked into eating broad bean powder by mistake, which caused her to suffer from an illness that made her faint and she almost fell off the Fairy Tower. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince pulled her back in time. She has now been rescued and carried back to Chuxiu Palace."
"What? Is the eldest sister okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi suddenly covered her mouth, as if she was too shocked, but she was thinking quickly in her heart. This sentence seemed ordinary, but it pointed out that Shi Rongyue was rescued because of the Fourth Prince's holding her back.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a great deal of discord between men and women. To put it in an exaggerated way, touching a woman's arm was considered to have ruined her innocence. And since Shi Rongyue was "held" by the Fourth Prince, it means that Shi Rongyue's "innocence" was "ruined" by the Fourth Prince.
For her, who knew the truth, being able to make this statement to the outside world meant that Shi Rongyue had succeeded no matter what the process was.
It was just that since it concerned the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, in order to protect the royal reputation, they deliberately concealed the aphrodisiac and only announced the matter of the broad bean powder.
Seeing this, Xiao Chunzi hurried to comfort him:
"Princess Shi Er, don't worry too much. Princess Shi Da has already woken up. She will be fine after resting in bed for a while."
"That's good, that's good." Shi Nanxi patted his chest gently, but soon remembered something and looked a little gloomy.
Xiao Chunzi saw Shi Nanxi's reaction and knew that she was remembering the quarrel between the two sisters, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Princess Shi Er was really pitiful, but she was lucky. Originally, Princess Shi Da was around, so the emperor couldn't directly enthrone her into the palace. Now that Princess Shi Da had an accident, there was no obstacle between her and the emperor.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chunzi became more respectful:
"Does Princess Shi have any other instructions? If not, I will take my leave."
Shi Nanxi came back to her senses after hearing this, and thought for a moment, then suddenly took out a paper star from her sleeve, bit her lip lightly, handed it to Xiao Chunzi, and whispered:
"Please, sir, pass this on to the Emperor."
Xiao Chunzi carefully took the fingernail-sized paper star and looked at it carefully, but she didn't see anything. However, she said cleverly:
"Don't worry, Second Princess Shi, I will personally hand it over to the Emperor."
Watching Xiao Chunzi leave, Shi Nanxi pinched her handkerchief. She didn't know why Shi Rongyue was caught in the act but not secretly executed, but instead returned to Chuxiu Palace safely. But she was sure that Kangxi was in a bad mood at the moment.
If she was in a bad mood, she would get a paper star. She said that a paper star represented a wish, which could remind Kangxi of her and let him know that although she was not there, she still cared about him.
With a subtle curl of the corners of his mouth, Shi Nanxi withdrew his gaze and was about to go back to Chuxiu Palace. However, just as he took a step, he was stopped again. This time it was Nanny Tang who was beside Shi's mother.
She supported the stone mother and stood not far away, looking over here. When she saw her looking over, she quickly waved:
"Second Princess, Second Princess."
Shi Nanxi paused for a moment, and the next moment walked towards the direction of Shi Mu, but before she could stand firm, she heard Shi Mu talking in a sob.
"Um, where did your s-sister go?"
Shi Nanxi saw that Shi Mu's chin and mouth were swollen, and she grimaced in pain when she spoke. A smile flashed through her mind. This person always had a bad face when they met, and her words were hurtful and impolite. Look, now she can't speak!
"Mother, what do you want to ask?" She pretended not to hear clearly.
Shi Mu was so angry that she almost fell backwards. However, Shi Rongyue was more important at this time. She quickly pinched Nanny Tang's arm. Nanny Tang's arm hurt, and she didn't care about anything else. She quickly said:
"Second Princess, Madam wants to ask if you have seen the eldest princess. Just now when Madam and I came out, we heard people talking about what happened to Tong Jia Princess. They also said that the eldest princess never came back after she left the banquet. Maybe something happened to her. Madam was very worried when she heard this, so she came to you to ask."
So he came to her for something! Shi Nanxi sneered secretly, but she looked as if she suddenly realized it. Then she frowned slightly and showed an embarrassed expression.
When Shi Mu saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes suddenly widened into the size of copper bells and she started to mumble again.
Shi Nanxi's brows furrowed even more as she listened, and then she seemed to have made up her mind. She whispered Xiao Chunzi's words to Shi's mother. After all, it was normal for Kangxi to send someone to tell her that Shi Rongyue was in trouble.
However, as soon as she finished her words, Shi Mu's eyes rolled back and she fainted. Nanny Tang was so frightened that she quickly supported the lady and pinched her Ren Zhong point hard.
Shi Nanxi was feeling relaxed, but she pretended to be anxious. However, she had a dim look in her eyes and didn't come near. Soon, Shi Mu woke up slowly.
When she woke up, she grabbed Shi Nanxi's arm fiercely, staring at her with her eyes wide open, ignoring the blood flowing from her mouth, and asked word by word:
"Tell me again, what happened to your eldest sister?"
Shi Nanxi felt the pain in her wrist, and a chill flashed through her heart. She shrank her hand in fear and whispered:
"Mother, your grip on my daughter's hand hurts so much."
Mrs. Shi didn't care. She still stared at Shi Nanxi and asked again.
Seeing this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Shi Nanxi's eyes. She didn't say it hurt anymore, but repeated Xiao Chunzi's words again.
However, Shi Mu couldn't believe it.
Blurt out subconsciously:
"Impossible! How could this happen? Who is it? Who harmed Rongyue? My Rongyue is the future Crown Princess. It's all over now. It's all over. She is the future Crown Princess!"
Hearing the last sentence, Shi Nanxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, so the most important thing is the future identity of the Crown Princess?
At this moment, Shi Mu thought of something and her eyes suddenly looked at Shi Nanxi.
"Why didn't you get hurt? You lost your innocence. You are such a jinx. You must be the jinx of Rongyue!"
Unlucky star? Unlucky Shi Rongyue?
Shi Nanxi was almost laughing at the Stone Mother's anger. The next moment, she seemed to think she had heard it wrong. She came close to the Stone Mother, who was almost going crazy, and lowered her voice in disbelief and said:
"Mother, what are you talking about? I am also your daughter. And why are you so angry? Don't you love your eldest sister the most? You should be happy for her. Have you forgotten that before the selection, your eldest sister cried and made a fuss that she didn't want to marry the crown prince but wanted to marry the fourth prince?"
After she finished speaking, Shi Mu's curse got stuck in her throat. She suddenly thought of a possibility, and her eyes widened immediately. Her throat lurched twice, and the next moment her eyes rolled back and she fainted again.
When Shi Nanxi saw this scene, she gently withdrew her body, and a sense of relief flashed through her heart. This is the "surprise gift" given to you by your beloved eldest daughter, so keep it well.
She looked frightened, and quickly had Shi Mu carried away, summoned the imperial physician, and after a series of consultations were completed, she left leisurely.
From now on, Madam Shi, just wait and see how this "jinx" like Ben Gege will rise to the top and try to control your beloved eldest daughter!
