"Jiaojiao!"

Kangxi squeezed Harigana's hand under the table, his eyes full of accusation.

Harigana, feeling helpless, cleared his throat and looked away.

"Xuan Ye, what's his name? How should I address him in the future?"

The guard kneeling below felt as if he was about to die; the emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

"He is Wei Qi, you can just call him Wei Qi from now on!"

After Kangxi finished speaking, he turned to look at Wei Qi: "Wei Qi, from now on, if the Imperial Concubine summons you, you must appear immediately. Seeing the Imperial Concubine is as if you were seeing me, understand?"

Wei Qi quickly replied, "Yes! This servant obeys the decree! This servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine!"

Harigana nodded in satisfaction, saying nothing more, adding that everything would be discussed once they returned to Qingxi Palace.

Kangxi waved his hand, and Wei Qi immediately disappeared.

"Xuan Ye, you come and go without a trace!"

Harigana was full of sighs, but Kangxi was already feeling quite jealous!

"Jiaojiao, do you think Wei Qi is very capable?"

Wei Qi, who had just slipped into the shadows, almost fell down, and Wei Yi and Wei Er almost burst out laughing.

The three men quickly retreated, believing that ignoring their masters' conversation was the only way to save their lives.

"Xuan Ye, I was just making a remark!"

As Harigana spoke, he turned his head and lightly kissed Kangxi's cheek, which immediately made the latter happy.

Because of her large belly, she couldn't sit for long periods of time, otherwise her tailbone would hurt. After resolving the matter and appeasing Kangxi, Harigana took Dulan back to Qingxi Palace.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Dulan looked nervous and subconsciously glanced over, only to find a small bulge on Harigana's stomach that was sticking out.

This wasn't the first time this had happened, but every time I saw her, I felt it was amazing.

"It's nothing, these two little rascals are really too much trouble!"

Harigana placed his hand on the small bump, and perhaps because of their blood ties, no matter how naughty the two little ones were, as long as Harigana said, "Be good, Mommy can't take it, it hurts a lot!" they would really behave themselves and stop moving.

Seeing Dulan's nervous expression, she thought for a moment and said, "Little Dulan, keep a close eye on things. When your princess comes along, I will definitely find you a good husband. You will be in the same situation then."

It's good to get used to it now, so you won't be clueless later!

"Princess, I swear to stay by your side until death. I will never leave the palace, nor will I marry anyone else."

If you find me unworthy, then I will dedicate myself to serving your young master from now on.

Harigana was helpless. He had said it several times, but the little girl was determined to stay by his side.

Fine, if you don't want to go out, then we'll talk about it later!

In fact, she really hoped that Dulan could leave the palace and live an ordinary life. What was so good about being in the palace?

"Okay, okay, I won't say it again!"

Dulan knew that the beautiful princess was doing it for her own good. After leaving the palace, she would not only be a commoner and no longer a servant, but she could even be a wife and mother.

But she didn't want to leave her eldest princess. In this world, what's so great about getting married and having children? It would be so much better to stay by the princess's side every day and be happy.

All the important people to her are in the palace, so why would she go out of the palace?

"Princess, I know you mean well, but I really don't want to go out."

I will stay with you for the rest of my life and I will never regret it!

"I've already spoken with Granny Hu; when I reach a certain age, I'll become a self-combing nanny."

From then on, Harigana never tried to persuade Dulan again. Everyone has their own ambitions, and if Dulan regretted it later, she would definitely tell him, given her personality.

Days passed slowly, and everything seemed calm and peaceful.

But the more peaceful a life may seem, the more turbulent it may be.

After returning from the Qianqing Palace that day, Harigana seemed to have forgotten about the secret guard. Kangxi wanted to ask her about it several times, but in the end he didn't.

When the first urgent battle report arrived from the army, announcing a victory in the first battle, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were greatly encouraged.

Just two days later, Kangxi received another letter delivered by Prince Kang at top speed.

When he saw the letter, his heart skipped a beat, thinking something had gone wrong. But after reading it, he remained silent for a long time.

"Xuan Ye, why are you back at this time?"

Harigana has been staying in bed and rarely getting out of bed these past few days, unless it's for essential action.

Not only does her stomach hurt, but she also can't hold her urine when she's standing or sitting, so she can only lie down.

"Jiaojiao, take a look at this letter."

Kangxi handed the letter in his hand to Harigana, then sat down beside her and massaged her feet.

It seems he has gotten used to this kind of life and doesn't find anything strange about it.

Harigana took the letter, and just like when Kangxi saw it, he remained silent for a very long time after hearing only a few short sentences.

"Xuan Ye, if there's a chance in the future, could you take me back with you?"

The letter was neither a battle report nor a military intelligence report. Instead, it was about the Borchijin tribe's chief, Baoliri, and several smaller tribes that had good relations with the Borchijin tribe, who had voluntarily sent warhorses to the border to aid the Qing army. They had even sent provisions and equipment.

When Kangxi saw this letter, the first thing that came to his mind was the tender love of Baoli Ri and Sai Enjiya for their daughter.

If they didn't truly care about Harigana, they wouldn't need to get involved in this matter under such circumstances.

But they still got involved, simply because Harigana was their daughter and his woman.

"Okay! When the children are one year old and we can take them out, we'll go see Mother and Abu."

After Kangxi finished speaking, Harigana was stunned; he himself was also surprised.

But if he called them that, then so be it. Putting aside his status as emperor, he should indeed call Harigana's parents Eji and Abu.

"good!"

Harigana didn't tease him about the form of address. He could call him whatever he wanted, or not call him whatever he didn't want. As long as he was happy, that was a good thing.

Of course, Kangxi did not suppress the matter, but made it public in the court the next morning.

Finally, somehow, the Ministry of Revenue began receiving donations from officials and the families of imperial concubines.

The national treasury, which had been slightly depleted due to the war, was once again filled to the brim.

Emperor Kangxi was delighted, the Minister of Revenue was delighted, and the Minister of War was also happy.

But some people have started stirring up trouble outside!
