"Xuan Ye, when does it usually rain in the capital?"

On the grasslands, if it doesn't rain before July, it's very likely to be a year of drought.

Not only is the grass not growing well, but even cattle and sheep may starve to death due to lack of food.

"Jiaojiao, don't worry. I've already asked the Imperial Observatory, and they said it will rain in the next few days. Don't overthink it."

Emperor Kangxi thought even more deeply than Harigana, so as early as June, before it had even rained, he had already consulted with the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to confirm that it was not a year of disaster, and only then was he relieved.

He said that if he wanted to protect them from harm, he would never let them suffer any injustice.

"Xuan Ye, how can you be so kind?"

Harigana reached out and hugged Kangxi. The scene was quite heartwarming, but unfortunately, she hugged him in the same spot where she had pinched him earlier.

"hiss!"

I gasped!

I didn't feel anything when I didn't touch it, but now it seems quite serious.

"Does it hurt a lot? I don't think I used that much force."

Harigana stepped out of Kangxi's embrace and looked at the cumbersome clothes. She thought she could try wearing some modern clothes.

Without waiting for his reply, she took his hand and started walking back.

Passing by Kunning Palace, I saw the palace walls that had been erected, and I was surprised to find that construction had already begun.

"Jiaojiao, I'm fine. Slow down, don't fall."

Kangxi quickly pulled her back, wanting to ask if she wanted to go in and take a look, but remembering that Hesheli and others had lived inside, he simply shut his mouth.

"Jiaojiao, I've already started drawing up the blueprints for you. Once this place is renovated, you can come and live here."

Although Harigana liked it very much, she was reluctant to leave the little courtyard where she had lived for a year.

However, she only thought about it briefly; the yard was a bit small, and it would definitely be inconvenient when the child grew up.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao. Qingxi Palace and Kunning Palace will form a large courtyard. Qingxi Palace is still yours. You can live in either Kunning Palace or Qingxi Palace if you want."

Emperor Kangxi left something unsaid: he decided to have a small gate built behind the Qianqing Palace, so that people could enter the Qingxi Palace directly from the back gate of the Qianqing Palace without having to go around to the back gate every day.

He had this idea a long time ago, but Harigana had many concerns at the time, and it had also entered a period of decline, so he did not put it into practice.

When the time came, he coaxed Harigana to stay permanently in Qingxi Palace, while the two younger ones went to Kunning Palace in front. This way, not only would it not delay the two of them, but it would also give her the dignity she deserved. It was a win-win situation, which was excellent.

"Really? You didn't tell me. I thought you were moving away."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at Qingxi Palace.

Some of the people on the palace road were seeing this Imperial Noble Consort for the first time. It turned out that she was the first person in history to be seen walking so casually in the palace, dressed in Mongolian clothing and leading the Emperor by the hand.

However, she is truly handsome and looks very well-matched standing next to the emperor.

Once they entered the gates of Qingxi Palace, the eunuchs and maids stood up and whispered among themselves.

His words were full of envy for Harigana, lamenting why people's fates are so different.

The two people being discussed were unaware of these things and were now awkwardly staring at each other.

"Jiaojiao!"

Emperor Kangxi sighed, surprised that his body was so sensitive. The little girl had only clung to his waist for a moment, and then she stood up.

Harigana blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed by the bruises on her face.

Thinking it couldn't be that she had too much strength, but that Kangxi's skin was too tender, I took the medicine and rubbed it on her for a while, and my eyes inadvertently swept over there.

Then, I froze.

"ah?"

Harigana slowly turned her head, meeting his helpless gaze, and only then did she realize that she had been staring at the bulge the whole time!

No wonder he was so engrossed in watching Kangxi call him that Kangxi's face turned bright red.

"The medicine is applied. Get dressed yourself. I'm going to wash my hands."

Harigana realized what was happening, threw down the ointment in his hand, and walked outside, explaining as he went.

He went outside, leaned against the bookshelf, panting heavily, and kept fanning his face.

[Ugh~~~~ How could I be so stupid? How could I do something so foolish? What are you looking at? Haven't you seen this before?]

I silently berated myself for being stupid for a long time, but no matter how much I thought about it, the heat in my body not only didn't dissipate, but actually got worse.

"Dulan, hurry, hurry, prepare water, I want to take a bath."

Dulan heard Harigana calling her. She had just lifted the curtain to go in when she heard him say "take a bath." She responded and turned to go out, but tripped over her own feet and almost fell to the ground.

Be careful!

Li Dequan supported her, his face full of helplessness.

Little Li pouted, picking at a pillar, looking at the two of them with a pitiful expression.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li!"

Dulan straightened up, not thinking anything of it, and looked at Xiao Li with a very strange expression.

"Little Li, what's wrong? Her Majesty wants to take a bath, quickly prepare the water."

Little Li wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't, afraid that Dulan would be angry.

He was targeting Li Dequan, not Du Lan.

But as she turned to leave, the look in her eyes as she looked at Li Dequan was full of resentment.

Li Dequan and Du Lan were completely bewildered, wondering what was wrong with him. Lately, he had been acting like this, looking all wronged whenever he saw the two of them together.

When Kangxi heard her call for a bath, he glanced at her helplessly and could only forcefully suppress his anger.

In the bathroom, Harigana sat in warm water. Dulan wanted to serve him, but she chased her away.
