After burning the letter and composing himself, Kangxi returned to Qingxi Palace. As for the servants in Yuqing Palace, he decided to let them run wild for the time being.

It's a dead end anyway. If we can catch a big fish, it will be a contribution to the Aisin Gioro clan, and he will leave us with a whole corpse!

"Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"

When Kangxi returned to Qingxi Palace, he saw Harigana holding a wooden stick and a knife, doing something, and the servants around him all looked nervous!

"Your servant greets Your Majesty!"

Emperor Kangxi waved his hand, and everyone immediately rose and withdrew! With the Emperor present, the Empress never needed their service!

Harigana put down the knife in his hand, then smiled mysteriously.

"Xuan Ye, come on, I'll show you something amazing!"

Kangxi walked to her side, helped her up, and followed her to the study.

“Xuan Ye, when I was on the grassland, I liked to write on the grass, and sometimes I would write with a stick on the shallows by the river!”

As he spoke, Harigana picked up a piece of paper from the side and then wrote a few words on it with the wooden stick in his hand.

Although it wasn't as convenient as modern pencils, it also saved you from constantly dipping your hands in ink and getting them covered in black ink.

"Look! Isn't it amazing?"

Kangxi was helpless. Although this little trick was indeed very useful, he was certain that Harigana disliked the difficulty of writing with a brush, so he had come up with this method by all sorts of means.

It's really useful, and I won't have to worry about not having a pen when I'm out and about!

"Jiaojiao is so smart!"

Harigana was initially quite happy, but after hearing this sentence, he felt an awkwardness no matter how he looked at it.

"Xuan Ye, can you please stop treating me like a child?!"

Harigana wanted to put down his pen, but looking at the black stains on it, a bad idea came to his mind.

Pretending to be unhappy, she lowered her head and, as Kangxi approached, reached out and left a black mark on his cheek.

Kangxi was taken aback, then looked at her delicate white hands, which were covered in black ink. He knew without looking that his face must have turned to charcoal.

"Hahahaha! Xuan Ye! Hahahaha!"

Harigana was grinning from ear to ear, which made those outside very curious.

What could Emperor Kangxi do but spoil her?

He's in a good mood right now, so if he says something that upsets her, he probably won't perform well when they go to Cining Palace for dinner later!

"Jiaojiao, be careful with your belly, try to control it!"

Kangxi helped Harigana up and saw that her belly was shaking from laughing so loudly, so he quickly went over to comfort her.

Ouch!

Just after Emperor Kangxi finished saying to be careful of his belly, Harigana was kicked by the two little ones inside his belly.

This time it wasn't like usual; it was really hard, and the pain brought tears to her eyes!

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Li Dequan, go and fetch the imperial physician!"

Kangxi simply picked the person up horizontally and turned back to the inner palace.

"Xuan Ye, don't be nervous, I'm fine, there's no need to call the imperial physician!"

Harigana quickly comforted him, "Those two little devils are really naughty. I was just making fun of you, did they have to kick me so hard?"

Kangxi relaxed his guard immediately, but did not call Li Dequan back.

"Jiaojiao, you should be more careful in the future, okay? I'm not saying you can't laugh, but your belly is so big now, what if something unexpected happens? What do you think?"

Harigana nodded, his obedient and well-behaved appearance making Kangxi reluctant to utter a few more words of reprimand.

"Go and wipe your face, the imperial physician will be here soon!"

The two of you can joke around as much as you want, but it's best to avoid anything that might damage the emperor's dignity.

She is favored, but it depends on the circumstances!

"Okay, lie still and don't move!"

The people from the Imperial Hospital watched as Physician Zhao was dragged away by Li Dequan, and everyone's face was filled with sympathy.

I envied him a while ago because of the reward he received, but now it seems that the reward was really hard-won!

Especially those imperial physicians who witnessed Zhao Taiyi being dragged along all the way from the grasslands, not only never envied him, but even wondered when the emperor would issue an edict to take his life.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is perfectly fine. Please rest assured."

Not to mention the people in the Imperial Hospital, even Physician Zhao was on tenterhooks every day.

Previously, everyone had been hoping that this empress could give birth to her child safely, but after the emperor's poisoning incident, it seems that his fate is no longer secure.

Perhaps, in the future, he will not only have to serve two masters, but also two hungry little masters waiting for him to serve.

"Okay! You can go now!"

After the imperial physician left, Kangxi couldn't help but give Harigana a long lecture, but his tone was very gentle, not at all like he was scolding someone.

"Jiaojiao, did you remember what I said?"

Harigana nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that Kangxi must have been Tang Sanzang in his past life, because he was so long-winded!

He wasn't like this at first, so who did he learn it from?

"I'll have Hu Mama oversee dinner. I need to go to Cici Ning Palace!"

"Huh? Oh!"

After a moment of surprise, she realized it must be because of Yinzhen.

"Aren't you going to ask why?"

Emperor Kangxi was sometimes curious about Harigana's personality, which was unwilling to ask any questions. After all, everyone has curiosity, but his little girl was an exception.

"Why? Did the Empress Dowager say something?"
