Chapter 139: Slap in the face, make an exception for Nan
Shi Nanxi looked around, nodded slightly to the person who came over, and said nothing. She was about to go back to the house when a tentative voice suddenly sounded:
"Princess Shi, you really passed the palace selection and were chosen by the emperor to enter the palace... to be an empress?"
After he finished speaking, both the concubines and the palace maids and eunuchs looked at Shi Nanxi. The whole palace was shocked when they learned that Princess Shi Er not only passed the palace selection but was also chosen by the emperor.
No one could believe it, and everyone is still dizzy.
Before, their impression of this person had always been that she was timid, low-key and quiet, and could only be in the limelight by following behind Shi Da Gege. Until Shi Da Gege revealed that they had fallen out and she had gotten into trouble, they thought that Shi Er Gege would have to lose the election and leave the palace sadly.
But no one expected, really no one expected, that the other party, step by step, passed the re-selection and the palace selection, and now was even chosen by the emperor and kept by him personally. This was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and they just felt a burning pain on their faces.
Before the re-election and the palace election, those Shi Ergege had no chance of rising to the top and having any good future. Now it seemed like a slap in their faces again and again.
If being chosen to be by the king's side is not called rising to the top, then what does it mean to rise to the top? If entering the palace to be a queen is not a good future, then what are those who don't know their future?
pain! It hurts so much!
There was complete silence all around, but it felt like there were countless slapping sounds happening silently.
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi looked at the person who spoke. She remembered that she had no opinions of her own and would only agree with others and let others look at her with sarcasm. But now the sarcasm was gone in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of imperceptible flattery in her cautious look.
She pinched her handkerchief and did not become arrogant because she was about to enter the palace. Instead, she still spoke softly and behaved with great courtesy.
"Thanks to the favor of the Emperor and the ladies, I have passed the palace selection, but the imperial edict has not yet been issued, and I don't know what the result will be. I hope Princess Anjia will not guess the emperor's intentions."
Princess Anjia was startled and quickly shook her head: "I dare not, I dare not, I was too shocked and made a slip of the tongue. Congratulations to Princess Shi Er."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else reacted and rushed to congratulate Shi Nanxi. The loudest voice came from the person who had mocked Shi Nanxi the most before the run-off election.
Shi Nanxi was neither humble nor arrogant and had a very peaceful attitude. Her future opponents would be the people in Kangxi's harem, and most of these people would not have any interactions with her in the future. She didn't need to make friends with them, nor did she need to deliberately embarrass them.
As long as she continues to rise in the future, she will make these people slap in the face again and again.
Just when everyone was enjoying the harmony, a shrill female voice interrupted sharply.
"Shi Nanxi, is it you who deliberately framed this Gege?"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked over and saw Tong Jia Wanru being pulled by the nanny beside her, but her eyes were fixed on Shi Nanxi with a look of deep resentment. Everyone looked at each other silently and then looked at Shi Nanxi.
Shi Nanxi did not refute or defend herself immediately, but first glanced at the nanny who was holding Tong Jia Wanru. This person looked very unfamiliar. Perhaps Tong Jia Wanru had been in trouble before, and Tong Jia was worried, so she arranged a new nanny. The nanny met Shi Nanxi's gaze and slightly lowered her eyes to avoid him.
"Good luck to you, Miss Shi Er. I haven't had a good rest recently, so I am in a trance. Please don't take my nonsense seriously. Please don't blame me."
"Bengegge is not talking nonsense!"
Tong Jia Wanru struggled hard, trying to rush forward and tear Shi Nanxi apart, but she was held tightly by the strong maid and could not move. In the end, she could only struggle like a trapped beast, but her eyes never left Shi Nanxi.
"It was you who framed me. You should have gone to the locker room, but you disappeared halfway and ended up hurting me. Bitch, you must have framed me on purpose. I'm going to ask the emperor to help me!"
Shi Nanxi looked at Tong Jia Wanru not far away and thought casually, yes, she framed her on purpose.
Everyone knows that Kangxi has always been stingy with positions, especially high-ranking ones. Although she is confident that Kangxi will not let her down, once this cousin of Kangxi successfully enters the palace, she will at least be a concubine.
Why not complete the plan and get rid of a future competitor for the position of concubine at the same time?
His expression darkened slightly.
At this time, Hongying frowned and said:
"Princess Tongjia, please forgive me for my presumption. What happened that day was clearly an accident. How can you slander my Second Princess without any evidence? The Second Princess heard what you said that day and shed tears for you. How can you repay kindness with hatred like this? If this is the case, we should go to the Emperor to seek justice."
Shi Nanxi almost laughed when she heard this. Hongying has made progress and can now tell lies with her eyes open. She applauded her in her heart.
Tong Jia Wanru was so angry that she almost fainted. In the end, she gritted her teeth and her eyes looked like they were dripping with blood.
"How can a lowly maid like you interrupt me when I am talking? Come, quickly take this lowly maid away to be punished..."
"What's going on?" A slightly sharp male voice interrupted Tong Jia Wanru.
When everyone looked over, they saw Liang Jiugong standing outside the hall holding a whisk and looking at this side with his brows tightly furrowed. Everyone was immediately startled.
This man was the chief eunuch of the emperor, and the quiet atmosphere suddenly became tense and solemn.
The maid's heart skipped a beat when she saw Liang Jiugong. She didn't think that he was here to support Tong Jia Gege, but Tong Jia Wanru didn't think so.
She seemed to have found a straw, and while the nanny was distracted, she broke free from her arm, rushed to Liang Jiugong, pointed at Shi Nanxi and said angrily:
"Manager Liang, this princess wants to accuse Shi Nanxi of deliberately framing this princess. Shouldn't she be the one who should have met with the guards on the birthday celebration?"
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became deathly silent. Shi Nanxi's face was pale but she pursed her lips and said nothing. Liang Jiugong looked around, and after seeing Shi Nanxi's expression, his kind expression darkened slightly.
"Princess Tong Jia, the emperor personally decided what happened that day. Are you questioning his decision?"
Boom, boom, boom! Everyone's heartbeat started beating like drums, and they immediately fell to their knees with a plop. Tong Jia Wanru was stunned. At this time, the nanny behind her took the opportunity to cover her mouth and forced her to kneel down.
"Please forgive me, Chief Steward Liang, please forgive me, Princess Tong Jia was in a trance today and that's why she said nonsense. She was not questioning the emperor. I, this old servant, apologize to the emperor on behalf of Princess Tong Jia."
Liang Jiugong knew that the emperor wanted to assign this person to Jierhalang, so he did not pursue the matter too much. Instead, he relaxed his expression and said:
"So that's how it is. I will convey Tong Jia Gege's apology to the emperor. However, what happened in the locker room that day was all a mistake. The emperor has already severely punished the people involved on the spot. I hope Tong Jia Gege will not speak nonsense again in the future."
Tong Jia Wanru came to her senses and wanted to say something, but the nanny covered her mouth tightly. She could only watch as the nanny agreed on her behalf, apologized to Shi Nanxi, and then quickly dragged her out of Chuxiu Palace.
After Tong Jia Wanru left, the atmosphere eased slightly, Liang Jiugong then bowed to Shi Nanxi and said worriedly:
"Princess Shi Er, you have been wronged."
Shi Nanxi's face turned pale, but she shook her head slightly when she heard that.
"Mr. Liang, you are too polite. I am grateful to you for making the decision for me. Besides, Princess Tongjia is just in a trance. She is a pitiful person. A few nonsense words won't hurt anything."
However, despite saying this, a trace of sadness quickly flashed in his eyes. Liang Jiugong observed carefully and discovered that he couldn't help feeling a little pity.
Princess Shi Er has been plagued by misfortunes since entering the palace. After finally seeing the light of day, she was slandered in public. The emperor then told her that Princess Tonggia was really outrageous.
With this in mind, he did not mention Tong Jia Wanru again, but explained his purpose.
"The Emperor knows that you have always been weak and have been taking Elder Liu's prescriptions to treat your condition. It will take some time for you to return to the palace and then to the palace. He is afraid that you will not have someone who knows how to take care of your condition when you return, so he has specially allowed the palace maid Hongying and the eunuch Xiaoruzi to go to the Shi Mansion to serve you."
With a loud bang, everyone present was stunned. What Chief Steward Liang said about returning to the mansion and entering the palace this time was actually a personal admission of the fact that Shi Nanxi would enter the palace. Later, he even allowed her to bring the palace maids and eunuchs back to the mansion. Since the selection, he had never heard of anyone receiving such treatment.
Everyone was almost shocked!
Shi Nanxi was also startled, and then realized that it must be because she often revealed her previous situation in front of Kangxi, and Kangxi was afraid that she would be isolated and helpless after returning home, so he sent people.
The paper star was really worth the gift, and after being stunned for a while, a moved look appeared on his face.
"Isn't this against the rules..."
Liang Jiugong smiled and said:
"You are weak, and the Emperor has always been kind and benevolent. It's okay to make an exception occasionally."
Others: “…” It’s okay to make exceptions occasionally, and the shock turned into numbness.
After hearing this, Shi Nanxi pretended to hesitate and nodded, then thanked the emperor in the direction of the Qianqing Palace. Hongying, who was standing beside her, was overjoyed to see the Second Princess thanking her and knelt down and kowtowed.
"Great, I can continue to serve the Second Princess."
At this time, Xiao Ruzi came out from somewhere and kowtowed happily.
