When Harigana woke up, Emperor Kangxi was sitting beside her reading a book.

"Jiaojiao, are you awake? Are you still feeling unwell? Are you hungry?"

Kangxi noticed her as soon as she opened her eyes. He put down the book he was holding, slightly lifted the corner of the quilt to let her cool off, so that she wouldn't catch a cold when she sat up later.

I'm hungry! It's all your fault!

Because she had just woken up, Harigana's voice was a little hoarse, which, combined with her soft and sweet voice, made it sound like she was being coquettish.

"Okay! It's my fault! I promise I'll be more careful next time, okay?"

Kangxi was so adept at admitting his mistakes that Harigana had tamed him to an extreme degree that it was hard to find another man in the entire Qing Dynasty who could admit his mistakes as well as he could.

After a good night's sleep, I felt much better than before, so I stopped dwelling on the problem.

"Okay!"

Kangxi was forgiven and diligently helped her get dressed. Even when they went to the dining table, he didn't let her take a single extra step; he carried her the whole time.

However, Harigana was happy to enjoy it; there was free labor available, so why not take advantage of it?

"Xuan Ye!"

Halfway through his porridge, Harigana dropped the spoon from his hand.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Li Dequan, go and fetch the imperial physician! Hurry!"

Kangxi hurriedly carried Harigana and ran towards the inner palace, instructing Li Dequan to find the imperial physician. His voice was full of fear.

"No, no, I'm fine, don't worry, I just suddenly remembered something."

Harigana quickly cupped Kangxi's face in his hands to comfort him, as he felt Kangxi was about to cry.

Kangxi was still worried; she hadn't seemed alright just now. "Jiaojiao, let's have her pulse checked."

Harigana immediately shook her head. She was really fine, and besides, it wasn't Zhao Rongxi on duty today; who knows whose people came?

"Li Dequan, you're not allowed to go!"

Grabbing Kangxi's braid, she said, "Xuan Ye, I just thought of something, but it's really nothing."

As they spoke, the two were already sitting on the bed. Harigana, disregarding everything else, rolled over and pressed Kangxi down on the bed, straddling his waist and looking down at him: "Xuan Ye, could I be pregnant again?"

It was very enjoyable, but her body seemed to be very fertile, and she got pregnant on the first try.

She's just given birth, and if she gets pregnant again, she might go crazy.

Emperor Kangxi, who had been tense, immediately relaxed upon hearing the question.

"Jiaojiao, you scared me to death!"

He raised his hand and pinched her nose, his eyes full of doting affection.

"I'm just scared. If I get pregnant again right after giving birth, what difference is there between me and a pig?"

I didn't even have a proper time to enjoy the trip here last year, and now that you're finally taking me out, what a waste if I get pregnant again!

Harigana pushed his hand away, looking dejected.

When Seneja went back before, she talked to her about this, telling her to be careful and not to have children one after another, as it would harm her health.

She agreed readily, then turned around and forgot about it.

Emperor Kangxi found it somewhat amusing to see her touching her belly and looking so distressed.

"Jiaojiao, don't you want to have my child anymore?"

Harigana's eyes widened, and without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed his neck with both hands, glaring at him fiercely: "You from the Aisin Gioro family, do you have any conscience?"

Kangxi was taken aback. He was just teasing her and didn't mean to make her cry. He quickly hugged her and comforted her, "Jiaojiao, don't be angry, I was just joking with you."

Don't worry, it won't happen, don't worry.

Harigana initially tried to struggle, not wanting him to hold her.

Hearing his promise, she stopped struggling and tried to look up at him.

"Jiaojiao, you just gave birth not long ago, how could I possibly let you get pregnant again?"

Don't worry, I've already taken contraceptive pills, you won't get pregnant.

Did Emperor Kangxi take a contraceptive pill?

Harigana was somewhat shocked. Shouldn't she have been given the contraceptive soup?

"Xuan Ye, when did you eat?"

Struggling to get up, she looked at the indifferent man and realized that he did seem a bit crazy.

He's the emperor, and very young. Isn't he afraid of becoming infertile for life after taking the medicine?

"That day at the Qianqing Palace, the two of us..."

Before Kangxi could finish speaking, a soft little hand covered his mouth.

"Just answer my questions, no need to elaborate!"

Harigana blushed slightly. She vividly remembered what happened that night and was worried that she might have forgotten about contraception because she hadn't fully recovered from childbirth.

Kangxi hummed in agreement and lay obediently on the bed, his hands still around her waist to protect her from falling.

"Why can't I take it? What if that medicine really harms you?"

This is what Harigana is concerned about. Although she is quite moved, if something happens to him, not to mention the Empress Dowager and the officials of the previous dynasty, even Emperor Kangxi might regret it and blame her.

"Jiaojiao, the medicine I'm taking was specially prepared by Zhao Rongxi. One pill will only last for six months."

Don't worry, they are all top-quality medicinal herbs and won't harm me.

The contraceptive decoction contains cold ingredients. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and taking that kind of medicine will definitely damage your health.

Besides, I can solve this problem with just one pill, so why should you have to drink that bitter soup every day?

Harigana was quite moved by the first few words, but what did it mean to carry around bitter medicine every day?

Kangxi had no idea that he had inadvertently revealed his true feelings, and he continued to talk on and on.

"Jiaojiao, Baobao and Beibei are still young. Even if you want to have another child, you should wait until they are older and can help you take care of your younger siblings before you consider having one, right?"

I'm not saying we absolutely have to have the baby. If you don't want to, then we won't have one. We'll raise the baby properly, and when he/she grows up, we'll... um!

Harigana covered Kangxi's mouth again, and there was no need to say anything more; she didn't want to hear it.

If you can't keep your promises, she'll complain, so it's best not to say anything in the first place or not to listen.

"Xuan Ye!"

Kangxi nodded and stopped talking about the matter, but his fondness for Harigana grew even stronger.

Foolish woman, not seizing such a good opportunity. He really wanted to cultivate Yin Fu properly.

"Jiaojiao, are you relieved now?"

Harigana knew that Kangxi was referring to contraceptive pills, and immediately shook his head.

"Xuan Ye, have Zhao Rongxi come tomorrow so he can take your pulse properly. I'm worried about you."

"Alright! I'll listen to Jiaojiao and come back after court tomorrow, okay?"
