Chapter 235: Dealing with Rongyue's Remaining Feelings
Shi Rongyue frowned subconsciously. She was a little unhappy about Shi Nanxi's attitude, but she quickly thought of the woman who was dragged away when she was hiding behind the pillar. She took a deep breath, suppressed a smile and said:
"I just came out to change clothes, and I saw you coming over to say hello!"
Shi Nanxi glanced at Shi Rongyue with clear and penetrating eyes, and said nothing, only:
"I see. Now that I've said hello, I have to go back. I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, he walked past Shi Rongyue and led his men away.
Shi Rongyue didn't expect Shi Nanxi to leave as soon as she said so. She subconsciously turned around and grabbed Shi Nanxi's sleeve, saying anxiously:
"Don't leave yet, I have something to ask you."
"presumptuous!"
Upon seeing this, Nanny Yang behind Shi Nanxi suddenly frowned and looked seriously and coldly at Shi Rongyue's hand that was holding Shi Nanxi's sleeve.
Frightened by Madam Yang's eyes, Shi Rongyue subconsciously let go of her hand and stammered:
"I, I didn't mean it. I just want to ask Shi, no, Empress Xian something."
Nanny Gu, who was supporting Shi Rongyue, said quickly:
"Please forgive me, Empress Xian. Concubine Xian has been weak since she became pregnant. Madam has written to comfort her, but it was only a small consolation. Please forgive me for my impoliteness this time."
Shi Nanxi turned sideways and glanced at Nanny Gu with a smile. Was she trying to use Shi Mu to pressure her by deliberately mentioning Shi Mu?
That would disappoint her. She glanced at the corner of clothes sticking out from the corner of the wall not far away, and the smile on her face faded.
"Since you are exhausted, go back and rest more. There are so many people at the banquet, so accidents are bound to happen. Mother will definitely be worried if she knows."
After saying that, he glanced at Shi Rongyue lightly, his eyes revealing indifference and indifference.
Shi Rongyue was getting angry when she was being looked at and wanted to say something, but Nanny Gu quickly pinched her hand to remind her. Shi Rongyue paused and said with a grievance:
"Thank you for your concern, Empress Xian. I will pay more attention to rest."
After that, quickly change the subject:
"Actually, I came to you just to ask when you became so close to the Queen Mother. I remember you weren't familiar with her before?"
Shi Nanxi suddenly realized that this was her purpose, but why did she tell Shi Rongyue? She only said in a formal way:
"I was just a servant and a concubine before, so naturally I wasn't familiar with the Empress Dowager. Now I've entered the palace and become Concubine Xian. I have to go to the Empress Dowager every five days to pay my respects. The Empress Dowager is kind and tolerant, so naturally I've become familiar with her. Is there any problem?"
As soon as Shi Rongyue heard it, she knew that Shi Nanxi was not telling the truth. How could it be possible that they were familiar and close just because they paid their respects every five days?
But before she could ask again, Shi Nanxi didn't give her a chance to speak and just left a sentence:
"Okay, I've been delayed for a long time. I should go back now."
After saying that, he turned around and led his men away.
Shi Rongyue was stunned for a moment, looking at Shi Nanxi who had turned the corner and disappeared. She could no longer hold back and stamped her feet, gnashing her teeth and shouting angrily:
"Heather Creek!"
However, Shi Nanxi had already walked far away and could no longer hear. Nanny Gu supported Shi Rongyue and said anxiously:
"Concubine, you are pregnant, you can't get angry, otherwise you will hurt the little prince in your belly, what will happen?"
When Shi Rongyue heard that the little prince would be hurt, she quickly stopped stamping her feet, but she couldn't help but get angry:
"Isn't she just a Concubine Xian? What's so great about her? She's so arrogant. I'm her biological sister. How dare she talk to me like that before? She's such a mean person. I don't know why the Emperor likes her."
At this point, the idea that Kangxi conferred the title on Shi Nanxi just to slap her in the face naturally no longer existed.
Nanny Gu was relieved when she saw Concubine no longer moved. After hearing these words, she was silent for a moment and could not help but said:
"If the concubine had not been framed by that Suochuolo Gege, you would be the Crown Princess now. Even if the Second Gege became Empress Xian, she would not dare to be so rude to you."
Shi Rongyue was stunned when she heard this, and her heart was moved for a moment. She used to think that she and the Fourth Prince were in love with each other, and the Fourth Prince was the next emperor. She would definitely be able to live in harmony with the Fourth Prince like the heroine in the novel and live happily ever after.
But since she married the Fourth Prince, he would not consummate the marriage with her unless she used some tricks. After the marriage was consummated, the Fourth Prince became even colder towards her. She could only try to please Concubine De, relying on Concubine De to pressure the Fourth Prince from time to time to get him to visit her once.
Also because she was out of favor, the servants under the Fourth Prince's command were not very attentive to her. Fortunately, the shop she opened outside was very profitable and she had the money to pave the way, otherwise she would not even be able to command the servants. This was not at all what she had imagined for her married life.
There are many more, for example, she could only stay in the yard every day and could not go to the Imperial Garden. It was not that she could not go, but every time she went, someone would point fingers at her. If she met concubines or sisters-in-law such as the first wife, she would be ridiculed.
After one or two times, she stopped going there. However, she had nothing to do at home, so she could only think of various modern ways to open a shop and earn money.
She also imitated the time-traveling heroine in the novel and presented those things to the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince returned them intact, saying that he would not use the dowry of the woman in the backyard.
In this case, she really didn't know how to please the Fourth Prince. Unfortunately, Shi Nanxi was at the peak of her career and was favored by all the concubines. The relationship between the two was completely turned upside down, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Yes, if she had married the prince and become the crown princess, Shi Nanxi would not dare to be so rude to her even if she became Empress Xian.
At this time, I heard Nanny Gu's voice again:
"Fortunately, the concubine is pregnant now. When the little prince is born, you will have someone to rely on. The fourth prince will no longer treat the concubine coldly for the sake of the child."
When Shi Rongyue heard the Fourth Prince, she suddenly came back to her senses. What was she thinking about? She was pregnant with the Fourth Prince's first child. The Fourth Prince would be the next emperor. The Crown Prince looked good now, but in the future, he would be deposed and replaced by another. Shaking her head, Shi Rongyue touched her belly and said:
"Yes, the Fourth Prince has come more often recently than before. It will be fine after the baby is born."
Nanny Gu supported the concubine and walked away slowly.
After a while, the prince walked out from the corner of the wall not far away. He looked at the figure of the woman going away with an unchanged expression, but his hands hanging by his side were clenched.
Wenxi was shocked and worried at this moment. He didn't expect that the prince still didn't let go of Shi Da Gege. He was really afraid of what the prince would do. After all, that girl was now the Fourth Prince's concubine. If she was discovered, it would be a disaster.
He looked around vigilantly to make sure no one saw this scene, and then he quickly advised:
"Your Highness, we've been out for a while. Let's go back!"
The prince lowered his peach blossom eyes, responded faintly, and walked away.
After the two men left, a young palace maid quietly closed the window, opened the door and left quietly, and quickly went to the field to report to Concubine De.
After hearing the report, Concubine De's gentle brows frowned. She glanced at Shi Rongyue who had just returned, and then looked at the prince who had returned from the door.
Unexpectedly, the prince still has feelings for Shi Rongyue. What happened in the fairy tower back then? What is Shi Rongyue's secret?
Then he looked at the empty seat of the Fourth Prince and frowned. It was because of the Fourth Prince. Why did he save Shi Rongyue in the first place and cause such trouble? If people knew that the Crown Prince was still thinking about Shi Rongyue, it might implicate her.
