Emperor Kangxi felt that he was too easy to coax. He was very angry at first, but when he heard what she said, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Jiaojiao isn't a kitten or puppy, she's an adorable rabbit."

He pulled her into his arms, pinched her chin, and kissed her gently.

"Jiaojiao, sometimes I feel like you're a rabbit. When you're unhappy, you curl up into a ball with red eyes."

Sometimes I feel like you're a hedgehog; if you upset someone, you can prick everyone around you to death.

Harigana nudged him: "I didn't! I'm not stabbing anyone else, I'm stabbing you. Who told you to always bully me!"

Kangxi was happy again; it turned out that her thorns belonged only to him!

Looking at the bright red lips, she bent down once more.

"Hmm!"

"mysterious,"

"Hmm!"

Harigana hasn't asked about it or complained since the incident happened, as if he really didn't care.

He would only check on the horse from time to time, and as he watched it get better day by day, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

In truth, she genuinely felt sorry for the horse, and this was also a silent reminder to Kangxi, deepening his aversion to the matter.

Only if he completely gives up and returns to the capital after a while will Yinreng and Yinzhen have no chance to turn things around.

"Jiaojiao, you're still so clumsy!"

He released the person in his arms and looked at her shy appearance, especially the way she was leaning against his chest like a soft ball. He wished he could hang her on his body and carry her with him at all times.

"It's understandable that I'm not smart; I haven't practiced with anyone before!"

Harigana tugged at his hair and played with it, thinking of how he had tied it into a bow last time, and couldn't help but laugh.

Emperor Kangxi, who was initially filled with joy and excitement, was instantly thrown into a state of unease by these words.

"Jiaojiao, I told you, I didn't!"

Why can't this matter be let go? He was truly wronged.

He admitted to having been with women, but he really hasn't kissed anyone else!

"Oh! You learn very quickly, you're exceptionally talented."

Emperor Kangxi choked on his words, for they were words of praise.

But you don't need to say it next time; it sounds awkward.

"I'll take you hunting tomorrow. This time we'll go deep into the mountains, leave in the morning and come back in the evening."

We'll have lunch in the woods; I'll roast a pheasant for you.

I couldn't continue this topic with her, or it would veer off course, so I quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, just the two of us? Is Second Brother coming? What about Mother?"

"No! Just the two of us, and a few guards."

Harigana didn't necessarily mean to bring them along; he was just asking.

However, Kangxi reacted strongly, fearing that she would say she wanted to take it with her, and refused decisively and urgently.

"Bring it along! It's more fun with lots of people!"

She rolled her eyes, finished speaking coquettishly, and even tugged at his hair.

When Kangxi saw her acting coquettishly, he almost blurted out "good!"

Fortunately, I saw the corner of her wicked smile and stopped myself from saying the words that were about to come out.

"Jiaojiao, you've learned to tease me now, haven't you?"

He pinched her chin, watched her giggle, and laughed along with her.

They're getting more and more mischievous and clever.

"Xuan Ye, you're so cute!"

She put down the braid in her hand and cupped his cheeks, rubbing them gently.

In fact, Emperor Kangxi was indeed handsome; you really couldn't tell from his appearance that he was over thirty years old.

His second brother, Prince Yu, although only three or four years older than his eldest brother, looked like he was in his forties.

After having dinner, Emperor Kangxi did not bother with Harigana because he was going out to play the next day.

At dawn, the two, along with a group of guards, Li Dequan, Du Lan, and Xiao Lizi, set off.

The ministers were somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of emperor.

I had been to the Mulan Hunting Grounds a few times before, but each time I would either go hunting with the Emperor or attend the Emperor's banquets.

Although I have time to do my own thing, I still have to be on edge every day and dare not go far.

However, since arriving this time, apart from the first day of the banquet, he has only been able to see Kangxi during meetings, and has never seen him at other times.

They had a lot of fun, but they were also a little unaccustomed to it.

Kangxi didn't care what these people were thinking. At this moment, he was riding slowly through the forest with Harigana.

"Jiaojiao, why aren't you saying anything?"

Harigana shook his head: "It's nothing, I just feel the air is very good and comfortable, so I want to breathe in more fresh air."

"Yes! It's really good."

Harigana leaned back, snuggling into his arms: "Xuan Ye, it will be winter again when we get back."

Emperor Kangxi held the soft, delicate woman in his arms, his face beaming with uncontrollable joy.

I felt especially satisfied when she took the initiative to come close to me.

"Yes! Time flies."

Thinking of the previous imperial edict, he tentatively asked, "Jiaojiao, that imperial edict was written when I was at the Summer Palace."

"When we get back, I'll make you Empress, okay?"

Kangxi spoke cautiously.

"Jiaojiao, the investiture ceremony is just to shut up the gossip. I will hold a wedding banquet for you and marry you in a grand and glorious way. Don't overthink it."

Harigana chuckled, shifted his body slightly, and glanced at him sideways: "Xuan Ye, a wedding banquet is unnecessary. We already have a child, what need is there for a wedding banquet?"

Is she concerned with the formalities?

What she cares about is power and sincerity.

With a wedding banquet, people will respect and admire her even more.

But what will she get? Nothing but a wedding.

Moreover, they might be accused of being arrogant and wasteful, etc.
