Chapter 172 The bitter consequences of identity reversal
Seeing the two people bowing unwillingly and without complaint, Shi Nanxi just felt happy, so happy.
No wonder everyone wanted to climb up, this feeling was really addictive. Shi Nanxi felt happy in her heart, but her face seemed to be stunned, and she didn't shout at the first time.
The two people who were paying respects saw that Shi Nanxi had not called them up yet, and their eyes suddenly became angry. They were not the kind of people who could tolerate it, so they wanted to stand up. Shi Nanxi seemed to have just reacted and spoke first:
"Ninth Prince, Chang, no, Shi Concubine, please get up!"
The two were about to get up, but when they heard Shi Nanxi's voice, they straightened up.
The Ninth Prince's face darkened. He had always been an arrogant and domineering person and had never suffered such an injustice. He immediately looked at Shi Nanxi with gritted teeth.
"Empress Xian's call was really timely. Does the Emperor know that you are this kind of person?"
Shi Rongyue's chest also rose and fell as he said word by word, "My sister's status has really changed."
"Ninth Prince, Concubine, I am not..."
Shi Nanxi was stunned again, as if she didn't expect that she was misunderstood. She hurriedly explained, but didn't know how to explain.
"Hmph, you are so hypocritical. You are just a sickly person from a farm. Don't think that you can become a phoenix just by marrying up to the emperor. The emperor has so many concubines. Sooner or later, he will see your true colors and despise you."
This was the first time the Ninth Prince had seen Shi Nanxi since the selection. He was already resentful and dissatisfied with her for marrying the Emperor. If his mother had not sent people to repeatedly warn him not to provoke Concubine Xian, he would not have paid his respects just now.
But he didn't expect that this person would dare to make things difficult for him. She was just a concubine, but how could he, a prince, be afraid of her!
Shi Rongyue on the side had a different mentality from the Ninth Prince. She felt ashamed and angry that Shi Nanxi saw her being humiliated by the Ninth Prince, and she also felt resentful towards Shi Nanxi for using her to get close to Kangxi.
What's so great about it? If it weren't for her, Shi Nanxi, a sickly girl, would not have been able to enter the palace and become Empress Xian.
Now he was acting so superior in front of her. Shi Rongyue clenched her back teeth and looked at the Ninth Prince coldly as he mocked Shi Nanxi.
So what if she is Empress Xian? Look at this cowardly look. Just now she thought she had become powerful after entering the palace, but it turned out that she was still so cowardly when encountering problems. This time she will not help her again. Let's see how Shi Nanxi will deal with the domineering and vicious Ninth Prince without her.
However, there was no need for her help, nor did Shi Nanxi need to do anything herself. Nanny Yang beside Shi Nanxi stepped forward, bowed to the Ninth Prince, and then said with a serious face:
"Ninth Prince, please forgive me for my presumption. Although you are a prince, the Queen is your stepmother. If the Emperor knew that you had offended the Queen like this, he would be angry."
When the other party mentioned the Emperor, the Ninth Prince subconsciously touched his buttocks. Even though more than two months had passed, he still clearly remembered the pain of being beaten in the war, and a hint of fear subconsciously flashed through his heart.
However, he was the type who could be threatened by a servant. Seeing his own reaction, he immediately became angry and pointed at Madam Yang and shouted:
"How dare you, you little dog slave..."
"This servant greets Her Majesty, Empress Xian. May Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."
A middle-aged female voice suddenly interrupted. The people who came hurriedly, including Nanny Zou, were the servants that Imperial Concubine Guo Luoluo specially replaced for the Ninth Prince. They had just been dumped by the Ninth Prince. When they heard Nanny Yang's words as soon as they arrived, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
Their queen repeatedly told them to keep an eye on the Ninth Prince and not to provoke the Shi sisters. Although they were still unclear about the cause, they knew their Ninth Prince well and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.
"Ninth Prince is young and playful, and it was not intentional. If I have been disrespectful, please forgive me, Empress Xian."
The Ninth Prince was stunned. Although he hated the nanny sent by his mother to discipline him, she was still his person. Now his people were kowtowing humbly in front of him and begging, just for Concubine Xian to forgive him.
Shi Nanxi looked at Madam Zou who was kowtowing, and secretly sighed that it was a pity, but said anxiously:
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's just some verbal conflict. Ninth Prince is still young, I don't care at all."
Nanny Zou didn't know what had happened, but she felt relieved. She had somehow prevented the Ninth Prince from having a conflict with Concubine Xian and completed the Empress's instructions.
"Empress Xian is so generous. I would like to thank you on behalf of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince still has to go to class, so I won't disturb you any more."
After saying that, he stood up and looked at the Ninth Prince. After all, the Ninth Prince grew up in the palace. He was arrogant, but not a fool. Seeing such an obvious change in the situation, he could not help but clench his fists, said nothing more, and turned away abruptly.
Nanny Zou and her group quickly chased after them.
Shi Rongyue on the side was dumbfounded. She thought she was going to see a good show, but the Ninth Prince, who was extremely arrogant to her, turned out to be timid towards Shi Nanxi. Isn’t the Ninth Prince a venomous snake, the most petty, vengeful, domineering and arrogant?
She couldn't change her identity for the time being, but Nanny Gu beside her was different. She watched the whole process without saying a word and became cautious towards the Second Princess. It seemed that the news from the palace was true.
The Second Princess was indeed very much favored by the Emperor, otherwise the Ninth Prince and the people around him would not have left like this.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think that if the eldest princess had not been harmed by someone and had become the Crown Princess now, she would not be inferior to the second princess even. However, this was only a thought.
"Concubine, it's getting late. Concubine Xian still has to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager." She reminded.
Shi Nanxi withdrew her gaze from the Ninth Prince and looked at Shi Rongyue. Shi Rongyue happened to be looking at her. She couldn't stand Shi Nanxi's good show and didn't want to stand with her anymore. She was reminded of the change of her status at this moment.
"I will not disturb Her Majesty Xian any longer. I will take my leave first."
Shi Rongyue bowed perfunctorily and was about to turn around, but suddenly he noticed a faint red mark on the side of Shi Nanxi's ear out of the corner of his eye.
Although she did not consummate her marriage with the Fourth Prince, in this open modern society, even if she has eaten pork, she has seen a pig run.
I recognized the red mark at a glance as - a kiss mark.
After a little coaxing, Shi Rongyue felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue.
She couldn't help but said in a sharp voice:
"You and the Emperor have consummated your marriage!!!"
Shi Nanxi blinked, not knowing why Shi Rongyue asked this question. Following her gaze, she raised her hand and touched the side of her right ear, and she understood a little.
But the key point is, what does it mean that she and the emperor have consummated their marriage? Could it be that Shi Rongyue has not yet consummated her marriage with the Fourth Prince? ? ?
If it's true, then it's really going to be a good show.
After a moment of stunned expression, she shyly covered her ears and said in panic:
"I'm going to be late for greetings. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he quickly fled with the palace servants.
Shi Rongyue, who stayed where she was, looked at the person who left, and her mind kept recalling the kiss mark she had just seen.
Why is it that Shi Nanxi and Kangxi have consummated their marriage, but she is still a virgin and is laughed at by others!!!
"Concubine, the Fourth Prince is still young and hasn't figured it out yet. Don't be anxious." Nanny Gu looked at Concubine's broken face with a look of heartache.
However, Shi Rongyue had only one thought at the moment, that she must not be outdone by Shi Nanxi. She clenched her fists and said firmly:
"Mammy, this time my wife must successfully consummate her marriage with the Fourth Prince."
Shi Nanxi, who had fled in panic, returned to normal when she turned an intersection. She held her handkerchief and thought about what she had just guessed, with a smile on her lips. The bitter fruit of Shi Rongyue's suffering had begun to show.
In the Yongzheng Palace of Shouchun, the Empress Dowager has not come out yet, and Concubine Rong is talking about how the Emperor went to Concubine Hui's Yunya Pavilion last night but left in the end.
