This was the first time Kangxi had been teased like this by Harigana, but he only teased him halfway before stopping.

This feeling of being stuck in the middle made him extremely anxious.

No wonder she glanced out the window just now; so that's what she was thinking!

He was already powerless against the woman beneath him, so how could he possibly let this go?

"Jiaojiao, you started this fire, so you're responsible for putting it out!"

After Kangxi finished speaking, he picked the person up horizontally and laid him down on the bed before Harigana could react.

"No! It's broad daylight, calm down!"

She placed her hands against the man's chest, looking at him warily.

"Jiaojiao, there has never been any palace rule that says you can't do these things during the day. It's just that they're afraid the emperor will be corrupted."

"And I am a good emperor; aren't our sons and daughters the best proof of that?"

As Kangxi finished speaking, Harigana's lips were accurately captured, and all the words he wanted to say in refusal were swallowed as sobs.

"Ugh, Xuan, ugh!"

By the time everything was over, it was past dinner time, and it was already completely dark. The woman, who had been bullied so badly, could no longer lift her arms.

"Jiaojiao, don't move, I'll help you!"

Kangxi knew he had gone too far, but so much had happened that day that he couldn't control his desires for the time being.

Seeing the bruises all over her body, I felt heartache and regret, and wished I could kill myself.

"You deserve to suffer the consequences of your actions. Do you expect me to let others in to see the mess their great emperor has made?"

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it wasn't that she couldn't complain; it's just that what she said had no offensive power whatsoever, sounding soft and coquettish.

"Jiaojiao, I was wrong!"

Kangxi, wearing only trousers and shirtless, went down to pour her water. The moment Harigana saw his back, her face turned bright red.

Is she really that ruthless?

I wanted to check my fingernails, but I really didn't have the extra energy, so I had to give up.

"Jiaojiao, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?"

Kangxi was really anxious now. He was fine just a moment ago, only going to get some water, so why were his cheeks so red?

Could it be that he injured Harigana?

"I'm fine, I want some water!"

Her eyes darted away, avoiding looking at Kangxi's body.

Although the two of them had been intimate countless times, it was always at night, in a hazy, dreamlike state.

But today was different. She saw Kangxi when he was moved, his whole body full of power, and his abdominal muscles bulged out with each thrust.

Especially the two bottom abdominal muscles, they're absolutely deadly.

At this moment, Kangxi noticed her discomfort. He looked down at his own body and thought that since his beloved Jiaojiao liked it, he should pay more attention to it in the future.

He's already ten years older than her. If he doesn't take care of his health, what if she gets tired of him later?

Thinking about it this way, he realized that he had one more thing to do every day: he had to practice martial arts every morning and absolutely could not get fat like his father, the Emperor.

"Jiaojiao, feel free to look around if you like, don't be shy, I am your husband!"

After feeding her water and setting the cup down, Kangxi sat cross-legged beside her, pinching her cheek and speaking with a flirtatious tone.

Harigana's face turned bright red, not because she saw his abs, but because he was wearing nothing at all, with the blanket slippery and stuck to his chest.

"You, you are utterly shameless!"

Taking advantage of her weakness to harass her like this, he's more like a rogue than an emperor.

Emperor Kangxi wouldn't take her insults to heart; he considered them just flirting between husband and wife.

And a year has passed, and his darling still can't swear. All she says is shameless and lecherous; she can't utter another curse word.

Fortunately, there wasn't anything inappropriate or messy in those sketchbooks, otherwise she might have really been led astray.

No, I need to check the laws of the Qing Dynasty when I have time. Those obscene and vulgar things cannot be sold.

"Jiaojiao, where did I act shamelessly? Hmm? Tell me? I promise I'll listen and definitely correct my behavior!"

Harigana stared wide-eyed, whether out of shyness or anger at Kangxi's words, his cheeks puffed out as he breathed heavily.

Kangxi was somewhat relieved that Jiaojiao was currently weak, otherwise, judging from her posture, she would definitely pounce on him and hit him.

"Xuan Ye, you just wait."

Harigana, who had made the harsh remarks, closed his eyes and ignored him, but in his heart he was thinking about how he could turn the tables.

As I was thinking, I drifted off to sleep.

Emperor Kangxi noticed her fatigue and did not continue to tease her.

Once he was sure he was asleep, I put on my clothes and went out to wash up. Before he washed up, I filled a basin with warm water and gently wiped him down, so that he wouldn't wake up and make a fuss.

Sitting in the bathtub, thinking about everything that had happened that day, he felt a little tired.

"If we had met Harigana from the beginning, would none of this have happened?"

Kangxi murmured, then shook his head. There was a ten-year age difference between them. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager wanting to go back, they might have missed each other for the rest of their lives.

Li Dequan wanted to go in and serve them, but they wouldn't let him, so he could only stand at the door and wait.

"Little Li, tell me, what happened to you?"

You've been looking down lately, let me help you figure it out.

Emperor Kangxi did not need his service, and since there was no one else around at the moment, Li Dequan summoned Xiao Li Zi.

Little Li's eyes lit up. He was still very important to his master. His master had always been paying attention to him. Otherwise, why would he know that Little Li was frowning?

Thinking about it this way, all the jealousy I felt these past few days disappeared.

He walked up to Li Dequan with a grin and said, "Master, I just missed you! Nothing else! Hehe!"

Li Dequan felt a chill; what was all this nonsense? It wasn't that he wanted to scold his apprentice, but he simply couldn't stand it.

"Go, go! If you have nothing to do, go do some work. Go check on the kitchen!"

Emperor Kangxi just instructed the small kitchen to cook some soft porridge, and it should be ready by now.

Let him do some work, so we don't have to bother him here.

"Okay, master! I'll go right away!"

Little Li ran off with a grin, while Li Dequan watched his retreating figure, shaking his head in disbelief.

[Such a good child, who has only been in Qingxi Palace for a short time, has already completely learned that little girl's divine and cunning ways.]

At the entrance of the main hall, Dulan yawned twice.

"Sister Chasu, I'm going to make a bowl of soup for myself. I can't get sick, or I might infect Master!"

Dulan rubbed her nose, not thinking about whether anyone was talking about her behind her back, and seriously drank the three bowls of medicine.
