Kangxi knew as soon as Yinreng approached the door, so he deliberately spoke so loudly and clearly.

Harigana was his beloved son, but Yinreng was also a child he had raised himself.

The child can correct his mistakes, and he believed that Harigana wouldn't take a young boy too seriously, so he could give him a chance.

Although he felt bad for her thinking this way, he had no other choice, as both of them were his children.

Before Harigana, he had repeatedly taught Yinreng to distinguish right from wrong and never allow his maternal relatives to interfere in politics. In particular, if those around him said anything ambiguous, he should tell them in time.

Everyone in this world would scheme against him and harm him, but he alone would not.

However, Yinreng completely disregarded what he said and even deceived him, secretly going to Suo'etu to discuss countermeasures.

This disappointed him.

So the "temporary" I just mentioned wasn't meant to scare people, but was a real warning to the court officials, and also a warning to Yinreng, who was standing outside.

If he reforms, the position of crown prince will still be his.

But if he still insists on going his own way, he will no longer care about the Hesheli clan, nor will he be reluctant to part with the affection he raised with his own hands. He will directly depose the crown prince.

Yin Fu is still young; it's unknown whether he has the talent to be an emperor.

Moreover, he didn't know if he could stay with them until they grew old, or how long he could protect the three of them.

Therefore, he had to ensure that the emperor could tolerate Harigana and her two children.

Otherwise, the day he died would be the day his mother and two children were buried with him.

During those days of the Cold War, Kangxi felt Harigana's indifference and realized that although she was willing to give her life for him, and even accompanied him without any ulterior motives, bearing him children, her heart was not entirely filled with his presence.

She was being patient and restrained.

After he figured it out, he felt sad, heartbroken, and even wanted to question her about why she had lied to him for so long.

But then he realized that she had once said she wanted a love that was all-encompassing and unreserved.

He failed; he had reservations.

Although it wasn't for a woman, but for the country, he still failed to achieve it.

So he suppressed his displeasure and sadness and treated her as usual, but knowing the truth, he could only speed things up.

He wanted to see, to see what that innocent and clear gaze would look like when it was filled with nothing but him.

Upon receiving Emperor Kangxi's decree, the group immediately took their leave, only realizing they were still alive when they sat down at the palace banquet.

Mingzhu was already seated on a stool at the palace banquet, looking at the empty seats on either side, and sneered inwardly.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

Before Yinreng could even react, everyone inside had come out.

He originally wanted to leave, but now it seems he has no choice but to go in.

"Baocheng, get up!"

Kangxi's voice was calm and even, showing none of the arrogance he had displayed just moments before; in fact, it could be described as quite gentle.

If he hadn't overheard those words from outside, Yinreng would have thought that his father, the Emperor, was very gentle and valued him highly.

But what is the truth?

Is that really the case?

"Father Emperor!"

Yinreng knew that Suo'etu had brought his supporters and officials to the Emperor to rescind his decision, so that the woman could not be given such an honor.

If he enjoys the Empress's regalia, then he is not the only legitimate son of the Empress.

Although she is not the rightful empress, her attire today is no different from that of an empress; she even wore pearls.

Yinreng was a little uneasy. His father had just been so angry. If he said not to be angry with Suo'etu, would he be scolded?

Emperor Kangxi was unaware of Yinreng's thoughts; otherwise, he would have directly deposed him from his position as crown prince.

In this situation, his first concern is for Songgotu, not whether his father, the Emperor, is angry, disappointed in him, or needs to repent.

"Father, I just wanted to go with you."

Yinreng ultimately didn't dare to say it aloud, fearing that he would be scolded by Kangxi.

"Okay! Let's go!"

In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, when the court ladies saw the Imperial Noble Consort beside the Emperor, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, some of the more timid ones knelt directly on the ground.

Fortunately, since a kneeling ceremony was supposed to be performed, no one noticed anything amiss.

Yinreng followed behind the two, watching their hands clasped tightly together, his eyes flashing with a variety of emotions.

Especially when he saw that the phoenix robe, which should only be worn by his Empress Dowager, was actually worn by a concubine from a small Mongolian tribe, he suddenly felt hatred.

His hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists. His mind was filled with the words of Suo'etu. His imperial father had truly changed.

Upon reaching the high platform, the two exchanged a smile. After helping Harigana to sit down, Kangxi returned to his dragon throne.

Although Bumbutai felt very unwilling and even disgusted, she couldn't miss this occasion.

When she saw the man sitting next to Kangxi, dressed in the same bright yellow cheongsam as her, she was so angry that she almost turned around and left.

"Royal Grandmother!"

Kangxi stood up, intending to help her, but before he could even touch her, Bumbutai dodged away.

Harigana also stood up, and after Kangxi sat down, he immediately followed suit and sat back down leisurely.

She wouldn't stand for being wronged. Today, she and her two children are the most important people. As for the others, they can do whatever they want.

She dared to sullenly defy even the emperor, let alone an empress dowager who had already developed a rift with him.

The officials looked up and saw three people dressed in yellow.

There was nothing wrong with Emperor Kangxi wearing a dragon robe.

Today is the day that Harigana officially becomes the Imperial Noble Consort. The Emperor is very fond of her, and her attire is quite appropriate.

But the Empress Dowager, dressed in bright yellow, sat on the high platform, which looked rather awkward.

However, the most embarrassed person was not the Grand Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager sitting next to her.

She was dressed in a purple cheongsam and sitting next to three people dressed in yellow. It was an unpleasant sight to behold.

"Jiaojiao, don't eat too much cold food. You just finished your postpartum period, so be careful."

Kangxi originally intended to prepare some special food for Harigana. After eating soft and mushy food for a month, he was worried that suddenly eating dishes from a palace banquet would make her uncomfortable.

He had already given all the instructions, but Harigana said no, he didn't want to be too special.

She really didn't want to be too special; she'd already been in the spotlight enough today. It was just food, so she figured she should just let it go.

"Okay! I'll just have a couple of bites, don't worry."

He put down his chopsticks as he spoke and didn't eat anything else.

It looks nice, but unfortunately it's completely cold and doesn't taste good at all.

"When we get back, I'll have the kitchen make you something. If you're hungry, you can have a pastry."

Emperor Kangxi placed a plate of pastries from his table in front of her, his eyes filled with heartache.

"Okay! Thank you!"

She turned her head and smiled at him, then reached out to remove her armor, picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth.

The concubines below were all envious.

You could even say I'm jealous.
