Chapter 195 Kang Nan and the Queen Mother invite
When Shi Nanxi woke up again, the sun had already set. The weather in late June of the lunar calendar is the hottest. Fortunately, there was plenty of ice in the house. When she woke up, she felt as if she didn't know where she was.
"woke up?"
At this moment, Kangxi's low and magnetic voice came from behind, and Shi Nanxi suddenly woke up.
She turned over and saw Kangxi lying on his side beside her, supporting his forehead with one hand, looking at her with a smile in his phoenix eyes.
This doting look touched her a little. Thinking of this, she immediately threw herself into Kangxi's arms with a look of surprise, looking up and saying:
"Your Majesty, you didn't leave?"
Kangxi put his big hands around the little girl in his arms and laughed softly.
"My word is as good as gold. I promised Nanxi that I will not leave."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi hugged Kangxi's waist tightly and rubbed her cheek gently against his strong and broad chest. When she spoke, her voice, which was still a little hoarse from just waking up, was filled with a hint of tears.
"I thought the emperor didn't want me anymore!"
Kangxi's hands around her waist tightened, and he felt a dull pain in his heart. He was the one who made the little girl panic.
"How could I not want Nanxi? I miss her so much every day."
Shi Nanxi buried her head in Kangxi's chest, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She said nothing, but just hugged Kangxi tighter, as if she wanted to hold him in her bones and blood, so that the two of them would never have to be separated.
Feeling the wetness on his chest, Kangxi loosened his arms slightly and gently lifted the little girl's chin.
She really cried!
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were now filled with tears, which silently slid down her cheeks. Her eye sockets were red, but she bit her pale lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
This kind of silent crying is more distressing than questioning or making a scene. Kangxi felt that his heart was about to be broken by the little girl's crying. He raised his hand and gently wiped her tears, saying distressedly:
"Don't cry, Nanxi. I promise there won't be a next time. Don't cry! Let go of your lips. You're biting them until they bleed."
Shi Nanxi tilted her head back, her almond-shaped eyes washed by tears were particularly beautiful. She looked at Kangxi, and even though she couldn't stop crying for a while, she obediently opened her lips.
Seeing the little girl still so well-behaved and docile, Kangxi felt even more distressed. He gently stroked her bitten red lips and lowered his head to press his lips against hers.
The movements were gentle, tossing and turning, as if he was kissing some rare treasure. He didn't go deep into it, but it was heart-stirring, affectionate and lingering.
Shi Nanxi hugged Kangxi's waist and gradually sank into him following his rhythm. It was unknown how long it had been before Kangxi gently withdrew.
Shi Nanxi's lips had become as plump and beautiful as ripe cherries, and her expression was a little dazed, which made Kangxi feel so fond of her that he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her red lips.
After repeated hits, Shi Nanxi gradually regained consciousness. Her face turned red, which matched the color of her lips perfectly, and Kangxi's eyes dimmed.
Just thinking of the little girl's weak body, he took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said softly:
"You slept all afternoon and missed dinner. Are you hungry now?"
Shi Nanxi felt the strong waist of Kangxi, which her hands hadn't hugged for several days. It was still so strong and firm. She licked her lips secretly. She knew that although Kangxi was already 38 years old, he exercised every day and his waist strength was very good.
Some want to pounce on this or that.
However, feeling her empty stomach, it is more important to fill it. In order to achieve her goal, she hasn't had a good meal for a long time. Now she can finally eat whatever she wants.
Thinking of the delicious food, she couldn't wait.
"Your Majesty, will you dine with me?"
Kangxi looked at the little girl in his arms who was looking at him eagerly, his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping with water.
"Of course I will dine with Nanxi."
The two of them whispered to each other for a while before they were reluctant to get up.
Nanny Yang, who had heard the noise a long time ago, had the meal served. Because Kangxi was there, the meal was very rich. However, as Shi Nanxi had not eaten much recently, she was afraid that her stomach would be upset, so the kitchen specially cooked some porridge.
Shi Nanxi walked over and glanced at the delicious food on the table. Although she wanted to devour it immediately, her health was more important.
She was sitting opposite Kangxi and was about to ask someone to serve her a bowl of porridge to warm her stomach, but Kangxi took the initiative and reached out to serve her a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her.
Shi Nanxi paused, looked at Kangxi, and personally served Kangxi a bowl of rice.
They smiled at each other, then ate quietly. They didn't talk much during the meal, but the atmosphere was warm and sweet.
After dinner, it was almost 6pm. Kangxi was about to order Liang Jiugong to send over the unreviewed memorials when he saw the Empress Dowager's personal maid, Madam Hu, coming over with some people.
"Greetings to His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed with good fortune. Greetings to His Majesty Empress Xian, may His Majesty be blessed with good fortune and good health."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows, slowly rubbed the jade ring, looked at Madam Hu and said:
"Get up, but what does the Queen Mother want?"
Shi Nanxi, who was standing next to her, glanced at the palace maid who was following Madam Hu holding something, and a thought flashed through her mind.
Matron Hu thanked her and quickly glanced at Concubine Xian's face. She saw that her complexion was indeed not as rosy and energetic as the first day she came to Changchun Garden. It seemed that the news was true.
He pondered in his heart and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager came back from worshipping Buddha and heard about Concubine Xian's situation. She specially sent this old servant to visit Concubine Xian on her behalf."
Shi Nanxi did not miss the look that Madam Hu had just given her. She immediately sounded the alarm in her heart, but she looked at Madam Hu with a mixture of surprise and fear, and blamed herself:
"Thank you for your concern, Queen Dowager. I am fine. I didn't expect to disturb you while you were worshipping Buddha. Please ask Madam Hu to apologize to the Queen Dowager on my behalf."
Madam Hu had followed the Empress Dowager in the Qing harem for decades. She looked at Concubine Xian's expression with sharp eyes. She didn't know whether she really felt that way or if she was just too good at acting. She lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding looking directly at Concubine Xian, and said respectfully:
"I hope Empress Xian is fine. The Empress Dowager came back from worshipping Buddha and was very worried about what happened today. She asked me to visit the Empress on her behalf and also sent me some medicinal herbs when she heard that the Empress was weak."
As she spoke, she asked the palace servants behind her to present the things. Shi Nanxi saw the various precious medicinal herbs on the tray, but she did not feel happy. She had a hunch that the Empress Dowager did not simply send someone to visit her.
I thought so in my heart, but I tightly grasped my handkerchief, surprised and happy:
"How can I, your concubine, trouble the Empress Dowager?"
Kangxi glanced at the Empress Dowager's reward and said to Shi Nanxi with a smile:
"Please accept it. It is a token of the Empress Dowager's kindness."
Shi Nanxi always listened to Kangxi. She was moved and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, nodding softly:
"I will obey the emperor, Hongying."
Hongying immediately took the people to carefully put away the reward. After Madam Hu put away the reward, she did not leave, but said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that she dreamed of the deceased Grand Queen Mother last night and was very sad. I remembered that I haven't talked to Your Majesty for a long time because I have been worshipping Buddha recently. I wonder if you have time now?"
The Empress Dowager?
It turned out that it was not just about sending someone to visit her.
Shi Nanxi's heart was filled with alarm. The Empress Dowager would not mention the Grand Empress Dowager for no reason. Could it be that she was hiding something from Kangxi about his love for her?
Judging from the situation when Kangxi paid his respects and offered tea, and later when Kangxi asked her to have more contact with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager would not make things difficult for her even if she did not like her.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager seldom cares about Kangxi's harem, and she herself has not been favored recently.
After a pause, Kangxi said slowly:
"The Empress Dowager is worshipping Buddha. I haven't paid my respects to her for several days. Now that she has finished worshipping Buddha, I will go and pay my respects."
Madam Hu got the answer she wanted and left first. After Madam Hu left, Kangxi gently patted Shi Nanxi's hand and comforted her:
"I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and will be back soon."
Looking at Kangxi's appearance, Shi Nanxi let down her guard a little and smiled as she saw Kangxi off.
