Harigana stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Looking at her adorable expression, Kangxi couldn't help but pull her into his arms. He stroked her waist and neck for a moment, then gently kissed her forehead. Before Harigana could react, he released her and turned to leave.

"Princess!"

After Kangxi left, Dulan walked in cautiously with a mournful face.

She had just lifted the curtain when Li Dequan suddenly grabbed her hand and covered her mouth.

If it were anyone else, Dulan might have fought back, but the person she was fighting with was Emperor Kangxi's personal eunuch, and she had already seen the Qing emperor lift the curtain and walk straight in!

Whether it was because of the other party's status as emperor or for the sake of Harigana's reputation, she could only stand silently at the door and guard it.

"Princess, are you alright? I'm so sorry!"

Dulan looked at Harigana, who was standing there in a daze, and knelt on the ground, contemplating atonement with her death.

Harigana snapped out of her daze and reached out to touch the spot where Kangxi had just kissed her. She was certain that this emperor was indeed very improper, and a rogue at that.

"Dulan, get up! This isn't your fault!"

Dulan glanced at Harigana discreetly to make sure he wasn't angry before standing up.

Recalling what Kangxi had just said, Harigana's face instantly turned ugly. She was right; the Emperor truly had designs on her!

"Dulan, go and call my mother and Abu over here right away!"

Harigana has no time to comfort Dulan now; Kangxi's words just now made it very clear.

No!

It's not just obvious, it's certain!

He said that once they went to the Forbidden City, he would search the whole world for painting books for her to look at, and this statement alone confirmed his purpose.

Dulan hadn't heard Kangxi's words, but she figured the Emperor must have said something to make the princess so anxious.

"Yes, Princess!"

Harigana is feeling very confused right now.

To be honest, Emperor Kangxi was really handsome. If he hadn't had so many women, and many more to come, he might have compromised.

But the Kangxi Emperor she's looking for isn't the kind of man she's looking for! Besides, she hadn't even considered finding a man before!

Kangxi said he wouldn't force her, but he still sneaked into her tent like a rogue, and even hugged and kissed her.

Such behavior is hardly befitting of a respectable family! Especially considering that Kangxi was an emperor!

"Harigana!"

Seingia's expression wasn't very good either. Although she had pretended to be nonchalant the whole way, after hearing Dulan's report, she knew in her heart that there was no room for negotiation in this matter!

"Mother!"

When Harigana saw Senjya, he stood up and went over to help her. For some reason, he felt very wronged, and his little mouth twitched as he burst into tears.

"Waaaaah! Mother!"

Seeing her daughter cry, Seingia felt terrible, but things had already come to this, and they had no way to resist.

"What's going on in Harigana?!"

Baoli Ri's voice came from the doorway. After Dulan and Seinjiya finished speaking, she asked her maid to invite Baoli Ri over. Since the Emperor was able to go directly to Harigana's tent, he wanted them to take the initiative.

So now, let alone secretly finding a decent husband for Harigana, given the current situation, they can't even keep their daughter.

"Abu!"

Harigana felt a little embarrassed when she saw Baoliri come in! She could act cute with Senggia, but she really wasn't used to being as close to this tall, burly man with a full beard as she was to Senggia.

"Amiri, guard the gate and don't let anyone near!"

After walking to the tent entrance and giving instructions to the guards, Senjia told Baoliri about what had just happened inside the tent.

Baoli was shocked after hearing this. The Qing emperor hadn't made any statement that day, so why was he suddenly acting like this today?

The three of them were speechless for a moment, and Harigana's heart sank to the bottom. She wouldn't blame Baoliri and Saenjiya, after all, they were not only her mother and Abu, but also the leaders of a tribe.

"Mother! If His Majesty gives up himself, does that mean I don't have to go?"

The hidden guards almost tripped and fell, not expecting the girl to be so resistant. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should tell the Emperor this.

But looking at the small notebook in his hand, which Li Dequan had just secretly slipped to him, he was told to record every word the princess said so that he could report to the emperor immediately and accurately whenever needed.

Baoli shook his head, wanting to say that Emperor Kangxi would not give up on her like this, but thinking about how he was able to get into the Harigana tent smoothly today, he swallowed what he wanted to say and went to the side to write a few words on a piece of paper.

Harigana looked around in shock. There wasn't a single gap, and this was a tent! It shouldn't be possible for them to hide on the roof, right?

Sengiya wasn't too surprised. Considering the Emperor's actions that day and today's events, it was clear that Harigana had been guarded by someone.

Just you wait!

Harigana was confused for a while. Although he hadn’t heard Baoli Ri and Sai Njiya say definitively that they wouldn’t let her marry into the family, his current inaction was actually a gamble.

Like Harigana, they prayed to the Eternal Heaven to bless the Emperor so that he would forget about Harigana and return to the capital as soon as possible.

Little did they know that once Kangxi had spoken, he would never take it back.

More importantly, Harigana is the woman he has his eye on. Regardless of whether he will truly cherish her for a lifetime as he claims, Harigana is someone who would never allow her to stay here and become someone else's wife.

"Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager has sent word that she requests your presence when you have time."

After returning from Harigana, Kangxi had been reviewing memorials. He had made his intentions clear: he was just waiting for the girl to come to him.

Although he was far away in the borderlands, the matters of pacifying the Three Feudatories and Taiwan were far from over in a short time. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager wanting to return, he certainly wouldn't have come out this year!

However, he didn't expect that this trip to the borderlands would be so rewarding, at least he met Harigana, a very interesting little white rabbit.
