Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Chapter 364: Undercurrents and unexpected events

After a while, Nanny Yang, who had gone to pick up Nana, came back. Shi Nanxi glanced at Nana casually, and her eyes immediately darkened imperceptibly.

I remember the first time I saw Nana, it had thick and fluffy fur, bright eyes, and a good spirit. It was very delicate and cute. But now, even with the cat fur covering it, you could still see that it was skinny.

The cat's eyes dimmed and looked lifeless, probably because it was often abused. Even without a leash around its neck, it had no intention of getting off the leash and lay quietly in Nanny Qin's arms as if it had no energy left.

"Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time, Nana. How come you've become so thin? You look... not well!" Rong Fei's words were quite tactful. She didn't say that she was afraid that the man would not survive.

It's just that she's going to die. Shi Nanxi thought about the information she had obtained from private investigation, lowered her eyes, and became more and more disgusted with Concubine Nianhulu.

Imperial Concubine Niuhulu took Nana from Nanny Qin. The moment Imperial Concubine Niuhulu hugged Nana, she subconsciously wanted to escape. However, Imperial Concubine Niuhulu secretly exerted force and pinched it at an angle that no one else could see.

Nana shuddered all over and instantly calmed down. Imperial Concubine Nianhulu then freed her hands and stroked its back as if with pity, saying with a distressed and self-reproachful tone:

"Ah, it's all because of my poor care. I don't know how Concubine Xian took such good care of Xixi. I feel so sorry for her!"

Shi Nanxi, who was called, put down the teacup, looked at Concubine Niu Hulu, then glanced at Nana, and said in a normal tone:

"I don't know how to take care of a cat. Usually it's Hongying who takes care of it. I don't know how to do it, so I didn't interfere. I'm afraid I won't take good care of it and end up hurting Xixi. Then the emperor will not let me go."

The deliberate joke in the last sentence immediately attracted compliments from others.

"We all know that Concubine Xian is the apple of the Emperor's eye. How could he not let her go? You must be joking."

"Yes, Xixi was specially given to the queen by the emperor. The name is a homophone of the queen's maiden name, which shows the emperor's love for her."

"Xixi is blessed by the Emperor and the Empress, so she can be raised well without having to be raised personally."

"Yeah yeah!"

Hearing this, Concubine Nianhulu, who was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, suddenly froze.

But he quickly returned to normal, raised his head, and followed suit in praising the master, but he hated it in his heart.

Today was clearly the banquet she organized, but these people all went to flatter Concubine Xian. Bitches, bitches, all bitches. These people only dared to slap her in the face so blatantly because they saw that she had lost power!

It’s all Concubine Xian’s fault. Let’s see if they will still flatter her when she is disfigured!

However, Shi Nanxi, who had long known about Concubine Niuhulu's plan, had been paying attention to the other party's reaction and noticed the momentary stiffness of Concubine Niuhulu.

She snorted in her heart, we are all concubines, and we entered the palace to compete for favor, but let us compete, each based on our own abilities, why should we vent our anger on the cat.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Nana casually, and happened to meet Nana's cat eyes. Shi Nanxi was suddenly stunned. She seemed to see a flash of determination in Nana's eyes, but when she looked again, it was dead again.

She withdrew her gaze inconspicuously so as not to let anyone notice anything, but in her heart she was wondering if the look she just saw was an illusion?

After thinking about it, she felt pity and helplessness. According to her investigation, Nana was already at the end of her life and would not survive for more than a few days even with treatment.

He turned the jade bracelet on his wrist, a deep feeling of disgust flashed through his heart, and he thought to himself, since it was Concubine Nianhulu who committed the evil, then she should pay for it herself.

Shi Nanxi looked up again and this time met Concubine Xi's gaze.

Looking at the eyes that seemed to see through everything, she paused slightly and nodded slightly. There was no sign of anything unusual, but Concubine Xi lowered her head and smiled.

It seemed that someone had noticed something was wrong without her reminding him, so when she saw Jing Yan leading the palace servants walking towards them from a distance, she suddenly interrupted with a sweet smile:

"My Lady Consort Niuhulu, My Lady Consort Xian, my little Jianjian loves flowers. I will take her to appreciate the flowers up close. I'll excuse myself now."

Hearing this, Concubine Niuhulu looked over and had a hint of suspicion in her heart, but seeing that Jingyan was about to arrive, she didn't want to cause any trouble and let people see anything, so she smiled and said:

"We are here to enjoy the flowers today. Jianjian likes them, so Concubine Xi will take her to see them. As for Jianjian's clothes, I have asked them to put them away separately until you come back to see them."

Concubine Xi smiled and nodded, and asked the palace servant to carry the birdcage. She walked out of the pavilion leisurely and headed towards the plum forest not far away.

Concubine Wu didn't have a pet, so naturally there was no pet clothing for her. So she stood up and said she wanted to follow Concubine Xi to appreciate the plum blossoms.

After saying this, he gave a somewhat awkward smile under the gaze of Concubine Niuhulu, and Concubine Niuhulu's frown instantly relaxed.

Ever since she was demoted to the position of Concubine Wu, she has been extremely low-key. Even after the six palaces were ennobled but not restored to their original positions, she became like a transparent person. She has no pets and no pet clothes. It will be really embarrassing later.

So he nodded slightly and watched her leave the pavilion, feeling a little sad in his heart. Who could have imagined that the Uya family, which was at its peak more than a decade ago, would be in such a state of decline now.

Then he looked at Concubine Xian, thinking that she must be in such a miserable state after falling out of favor, and his heart suddenly became excited.

Shi Nanxi glanced at the team coming with trays, then looked at Concubine Xi and Concubine Wu who were leaving the pavilion. She lowered her eyelashes slightly, and was sure in her heart that Concubine Xi had noticed something strange and was avoiding the chaos in advance.

As for whether Concubine Wu, who was following behind her, also knew about it, she had no idea, but she didn't move and just sat there.

At this moment, she noticed someone was looking at her, so she raised her head and met Concubine Nianhulu's gaze.

Her mind turned, and she remembered that Concubine Nianhulu had just looked in the direction of Concubine Wu, and she instantly guessed what she was thinking.

Humph, that’s nice to think about, but I don’t know who will be the one in trouble then.

At this time, Jingyan led the team to the pavilion, and Concubine Nianhulu ordered her to distribute the corresponding clothes for each concubine and pet to everyone.

Shi Nanxi looked at the plush double-breasted vest that was handed to her. It was blue in color and embroidered with little stars. It looked particularly delicate, small and cute.

However, her gaze fell on the lines hidden by the embroiderers. The corners of her mouth curled up, but there was no smile in her eyes.

In order to plot against her, Concubine Nianhulu really put a lot of thought into it. She even had people soak the embroidery threads in flower juice and spices in advance and then embroider them into pet clothes. These clothes with the floral scent would have no problem being discovered.

But what if we add a bee? Bees are semi-hibernating creatures and basically don't come out in winter, but that is normal.

The bees that fly out abnormally come here to follow the scent, and when they smell the clothes with the fragrance of flowers, they will fly over in groups.

By then everyone will surely be frightened and flee in panic, the scene will be chaotic, and Nana, who has been tampered with, will grab her face as if she was suddenly frightened.

It's really a chain of events. If Concubine Su hadn't reminded her in advance, she might not have been able to find the clues so quickly.

But she was going to disappoint Concubine Niuhulu. Shi Nanxi smiled while holding the small plush double-breasted vest.

Concubine Nianhulu, who was paying attention to her, also laughed, and at this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from far away.

"what sound?"

"Ah, it's a bee!"

"Everyone, run!"
