Harigana reluctantly sat up. Although his body was being manipulated by them, his mind was already meeting with the Lord of Sleep!

However, if we're talking about who understands her best, it has to be Dulan.

Seeing that she really couldn't wake up, I walked up to Granny Hu and asked her a few questions in a low voice. After getting her permission, I ran out.

A moment later, I noticed she was holding a small plate with pickled cucumbers on it, something Harigana often enjoyed eating.

It was only pickled these past few days, so she hasn't had any to eat yet!

"Your Majesty, look what this is!"

Harigana slightly raised her eyelids to take a look, intending to nod casually, but after closing her eyes, she realized that it looked like the pickled cucumber she liked.

The saliva in my mouth instantly banishes any sleepiness!

Fortunately, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already gone back, so no one else saw Harigana looking so hungry except for his own people.

"Quick, bring it over here so I can have a taste!"

Dulan only took three, which was the amount approved by Granny Hu. Moreover, she secretly asked Surina and only after confirming that there was no problem did she feel at ease delivering them to Harigana.

The previous dynasty.

After Kangxi had arranged everything, he issued another imperial edict. When Li Dequan took out the edict, the hearts of everyone present skipped a beat.

During this period, the emperor has been issuing far too many imperial edicts, and he makes all the decisions on his own, leaving the officials to serve as mere figureheads.

But since he's the emperor, they have to keep quiet even if they have complaints.

Kneeling on the ground to listen to the imperial edict, some were happy while others were sad!

The ones who are worried are the officials who want to go to the Qianqing Palace after the morning court session to persuade the emperor. Although they cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the harem, their daughters are inside!

What is gratifying are those officials who truly serve the people, and the Minister of Revenue.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The Minister of Revenue walked to the front, shouted loudly, and immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

Kangxi was extremely satisfied as he looked at their various expressions.

How can officials live a peaceful and carefree life? Their people are suffering terribly; they should be a little more vigilant!

"If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court is adjourned!"

Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon throne for a while, and only after confirming that no one had submitted any memorials did he happily return to his study.

The ministers emerged from the Qianqing Gate in twos and threes, and only began to whisper among themselves after passing the Taihe Hall.

"The Emperor has made such a mess of things, we're stuck in a dilemma!"

"Keep your voice down, or someone might hear you!"

"Oh dear, I didn't say anything excessive!"

What was the content of the imperial edict issued by Emperor Kangxi?

He was afraid that these officials would tell him that there was something wrong with the imperial edict governing the harem, so they would keep bothering him at the Qing Palace, leaving him no time to spend with Harigana.

So before attending the morning court session, he suddenly came up with a good idea: to issue another imperial edict that as long as someone in the Imperial Household Department spent money to buy equipment, that money would be deposited into the national treasury and used specifically for disaster relief.

This imperial edict was a contingency measure!

If we talk about the matter of dismissing the empress, some people will say that he had impure intentions and did not care about the people.

Who can bear such a heavy burden?

"Alas! We understand the Emperor's actions less and less!"

After these people had gone far away, Li Dequan emerged from the shadows, smiled in their direction, and happily returned to the Imperial Study to report.

The imperial edict was issued and soon the people knew about it.

Not only do people say that the emperor is diligent in governing and serves the people, but some people even think: "Ladies in the palace, why don't you break more things when you have nothing to do!"

In the afternoon, when Kangxi returned to Qingxi Palace after dealing with the memorials, Harigana was directing Xiao Lizi and several eunuchs to move things.

"Yes, yes, yes! Put it there first!"

"No, not this box, this box won't do!"

Kangxi watched for a long time but still couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. Even though she had already walked up to him, she still didn't notice him and was still directing Xiao Li and the others to do things with her hands on her hips.

"This servant greets Your Majesty! This servant greets Your Majesty!"

Dulan and the others were working hard when they looked up and saw Kangxi standing to one side.

Upon hearing this, Harigana turned around, walked to his side, took his hand, and smiled.

"When did you get back? I didn't hear you!"

The question, "When did you return?" instantly filled Kangxi's heart, because only his beloved Jiaojiao would say such a thing.

It's obvious that she considers Qingxi Palace as their home!

"You've been back for a long time! What are you doing?"

As he spoke, he took Harigana's two small hands in his large palms. He thought that it was already October 15th, and the weather had cooled down, so he was worried that her hands might be cold.

Unexpectedly, her hands were not only not cold, but even warmer than his.

"You come here!"

Harigana took Kangxi's hand and walked to a box.

"Little Li, open it and let the Emperor see!"

Kangxi looked at the woman beside him with suspicion, but he was soon shocked by the silver in the box!

It wasn't that he had never seen silver before, and what shocked him wasn't the silver itself, but rather why she had produced all this silver!

"Jiaojiao, why are you taking out the money?"

Harigana looked at Kangxi mysteriously, then tiptoed to whisper something in his ear.

After Kangxi realized her intention, he immediately bent down and put his ear in front of her.

"Xuan Ye, didn't you set up a special account for disaster relief? How about I be the first to support you?"

After Harigana finished speaking, she tilted her head and looked at him with bright eyes, her face full of "Praise me!" expressions.

"Jiaojiao!"

Kangxi was both shocked and excited. He picked the person up and carried him into the inner palace.

Harigana hugged his neck, resting steadily against his chest, without struggling or exclaiming, as if she had already gotten used to it.

Li Dequan had already learned the general outline of the matter from Xiao Lizi. Looking at the two people who had already entered the inner hall, he was filled with mixed emotions.

"You must serve me diligently from now on; your good fortune is yet to come! Do you understand?"

Little Li nodded repeatedly. He was very grateful to Li Dequan, and his master was worthy of his lifelong loyalty.

Inside the palace, Kangxi gently placed the person on the low couch, and then pressed himself down on top of her, but did not make any movements, only propping himself up with his hands and looking at her.

"Jiaojiao, why do you want to do this?"

Harigana had already prepared his answer, so when Harigana asked him, he reached out and hugged Harigana's neck, giving him a quick kiss.

“Xuan Ye, you have said that I am your wife. How can I not support my husband who wants to work for the benefit of the people?”

Emperor Kangxi was moved by these words and immediately lowered his head to kiss her.
