"Xuan Ye!"

Harigana's voice choked with emotion as she reached out and embraced Kangxi, then pressed her lips to his. Although Kangxi had been passionately kissing her neck all this time, she still hadn't quite mastered his technique.

During the kiss, she accidentally licked Kangxi's cold lips, and then Harigana's little tiger teeth bit the corner of his mouth.

In an instant, Kangxi was filled with excitement. With a swift movement, he grabbed the two men and they switched places.

"Jiaojiao, you know you're pregnant, are you deliberately tormenting me?"

Kangxi kissed the person in his arms until they were dazed and confused, but he also restrained himself and managed to stay rational and not continue.

But ever since he learned that Harigana was pregnant, he could clearly feel that the little girl beneath him had become increasingly voluptuous. She had always been proudly erect, but now she not only stood erect, but also had a faint milky scent.

Especially now, looking at the woman with her clothes disheveled and her bare shoulders exposed, he was about to explode!

"I didn't mean to, I just wanted to kiss you, who knew you would do this!"

Harigana's voice was somewhat dazed; she hadn't expected things to develop this way, spiraling out of control. Fortunately, Kangxi had enough self-control; otherwise, judging from what had just happened, she probably would have agreed too!

Seeing the man wanting to go out for a cold shower, she tugged at his sleeve, closed her eyes, and spoke very softly, but even the softest sound made Kangxi even more excited.

"Jiaojiao! Really?"

Kangxi pressed down on Harigana again, not expecting to hear her say she wanted to help him.

"Stop asking! It's not like you haven't done this before!"

After Harigana finished speaking, he pushed the man away and then slowly extended his left hand and placed it in the man's palm.

At this moment, all of Kangxi's rationality collapsed. Before long, more and more clothes appeared on the ground, the bed curtains were drawn, and apart from muffled groans, nothing could be heard.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Harigana regained consciousness, he was woken up by Dulan!

"Dulan, what's wrong?"

He wasn't fully awake yet, still a little dazed!

"Your Majesty, it's almost dawn. You should hurry up and get ready so you can pay your respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager!"

Harigana finally snapped out of her daze. Thinking about what happened last night, she was furious. Although she knew that Kangxi lasted a long time, who knew that he would use her hand for so long?

However, she didn't regret it. After all, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality, and she had to give the emperor something in return. Offering her left hand was already her greatest show of sincerity!

Where is the Emperor?

Harigana sat up; this was the first time in a long time that he had woken up without seeing Kangxi.

Dulan covered her mouth and smiled, thinking about what the Emperor had just said, and felt that he was absolutely right.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has already gone to the morning court session. Moreover, the Emperor said that when you ask him, he asked me to tell you that he will come to see you after the court session, so you don't need to worry!"

Harigana understood what Kangxi meant; he was definitely telling her that he would be visiting her at the Cining Palace later. Dulan, however, didn't know this and had a serious misunderstanding. But she didn't explain; explaining things only made things more complicated, so she let them be.

After she finished washing up, she prepared to endure the flowerpot-shaped shoes that were often criticized in many novels.

"Your Majesty, let's set off!"

Seeing that it was almost time, Granny Hu walked over to Harigana and whispered a reminder.

"Granny Hu, don't you need to change your shoes?"

After Harigana finished speaking, she lifted her foot, but her palace dress was too long, and she kicked in vain.

"Your Majesty, your current condition is not suitable for wearing that. Moreover, His Majesty has said that your comfort is the most important thing, so Your Majesty does not need to wear that."

........

When the group arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace of Tranquil Longevity, there were about several dozen people besides her and Lady Tongjia. However, given Harigana's status, he immediately paid his respects upon seeing her.

Harigana is only eighteen years old and has already reached the rank of Imperial Concubine. Even the current Imperial Concubine Tongjia, no, Imperial Concubine Jin, does not have such glory.

"Your humble servant greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort. May Your Highness be blessed!"

This greeting was a mix of high, mid, and low notes, and even some off-key voices.

It's impossible for Harigana to feel nothing seeing so many women, especially since she initially disliked Kangxi for being ill. Now, seeing so many women, I feel that dislike threatening to surface.

"Get up!"

Harigana's voice was even colder because he was unhappy, leaving all the concubines completely baffled.

But just as they stood still, Lady Tongjia, supported by her maid, walked into the courtyard of Ning Shou Palace.

"Your humble servant greets Consort Jin. May Consort Jin be blessed!"

Consort Tongjia nearly collapsed at being addressed as "Consort Jin." She had actually left quite early, but the thought of that title made her hesitate and reluctant to come. If it weren't for this being her first time paying respects after returning to the palace, Consort Tongjia might have genuinely asked for leave and not come.

Harigana was somewhat puzzled. She and Lady Tongjia were both Imperial Concubines, so why was she called Imperial Concubine just now, but now she was called Imperial Concubine Jin? Then she thought about it and realized that her title was Kangxi's "Kang," which was something most people wouldn't dare to use.

Thinking about this, Harigana's earlier slight frustration dissipated considerably. She could just consider herself a husband who had been married ten times, with each wife bearing him a child. Fortunately, her husband was wealthy and powerful, so he wouldn't mistreat her.

"Get up, all of you!"

Tongjia walked to Harigana's side with restraint. According to her rank, she should have given Harigana a half-bow, but due to her status and pride, she did not want to do so.

Just as Lady Tongjia was struggling with her decision, a maidservant from the Empress Dowager's side came out and led everyone into the inner palace.

Harigana didn't care about Tongjia's performance. Anyway, Kangxi would stand up for her when he found out. She could just play the fool who knew nothing, a silly beauty who knew nothing but liked Kangxi.

But just because she didn't care didn't mean that Granny Hu wouldn't remember. Looking at Harigana who had no reaction, Granny Hu sighed in her heart: No wonder the Emperor likes this lady so much!

Looking at her innocent appearance, if no one protected her, who knows how badly she would be bullied.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Arrigana and Tongjia stood together according to their rank. However, it was Arrigana who was upset; the others could do whatever they wanted! Some of those of lower rank stood inside the hall, while others couldn't even step through the door.

Because the Empress Dowager was not very fluent in Chinese and only had a superficial understanding of Manchu, after drinking the tea offered by Harigana, she led the concubines to Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Grand Empress Dowager.
