"Jiaojiao, does it still hurt?"

He didn't answer her question and instead transferred the microphone.

Harigana didn't mind; he just stated his information and didn't need to make it seem like it was important.

She gave him the opportunity; now it's up to him to see how things develop.

If he continues to develop in this way, he could be a great help to his son in the future.

But if things don't develop as they are now, and he ends up going astray, she has ways to deal with him.

"It doesn't hurt, it just aches!"

Harigana rolled over, looking at Kangxi with starry eyes: "Xuan Ye, why are you so amazing? Aren't you tired at all?"

As she spoke, she got up and poked his waist, asking, "Here, isn't it sore at all?"

Kangxi thought she wanted to sit on his lap and hug him, but he was caught off guard and his body tensed up immediately when she poked him.

"Not tired!"

Harigana nodded, as if she hadn't noticed his tension, and sat on his lap, hugging his neck: "Xuan Ye, you are really amazing."

Kangxi reached out to put his arm around her waist, but the person in his arms pushed his hand away and climbed down, then moved behind him: "Let me massage your shoulders. I've been secretly learning this from Granny Hu these past few days. See if it feels comfortable."

Harigana knelt behind him, slowly massaging her shoulders, his eyes full of cunning.

She was a delicate beauty to begin with, so how could she have any strength in her hands?

Turning his head to the side, he could see the soft, white hands pressing back and forth on his shoulder.

This isn't just massaging my shoulders, it's practically flirting.

Kangxi couldn't resist and flipped her over, pinning her beneath him: "Jiaojiao, I can tell you're exhausted."

After saying that, he covered her mouth with his hand, and Harigana did not refuse.

The upper body clothing disappeared, and as the large hand tried to slide down, it was grabbed by the small hand: "I... it's inconvenient."

Kangxi was taken aback. Realizing what she had said, he understood that she had done all this to make her suffer.

"Jiaojiao! You did this on purpose!"

He nudged her belly and, seeing her face flush red, reluctantly dressed her, thinking to himself how quickly a month had passed.

She managed to dodge my request to go to the hot springs last time, and now she's managed to dodge it again with this piece of junk.

If the imperial physician hadn't said that this woman wouldn't get sick, he would have wanted the people from the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine and get rid of this thing in Harigana.

Most importantly, the little bundle he prepared hasn't been used yet.

"I, I didn't! I clearly pushed you, but you wouldn't let go of me."

Kangxi choked. If she had easily pushed him away at that moment, he wouldn't be a man.

She did it on purpose!

I just realized while washing up that my period came four or five days early this month.

If we don't give Kangxi such a good opportunity, when will we ever make him so anxious?

Sending away children and deposing the crown prince—there had to be something he hadn't gotten to distract him.

He held her as they lay on the bed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Jiaojiao, I'll call Consort Hui over tomorrow. Will you stay with me?"

Kangxi was afraid that she would get jealous again, so he said that he had met with the concubine alone in the future. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it was better to keep her by his side.

No, I won't see you.

I heard what Yinti just said, and I know what you're going to say.

But I don't want to get involved; you can talk to her yourself.

Consort Hui is nowhere to be seen in Harigana!

Based on her understanding of these women, she would definitely say something like, "Your Majesty, I have served you for so many years," and so on.

If she had heard it with her own ears, she would have tried to pretend to be jealous in front of Emperor Kangxi and then throw a little tantrum.

Normally, she might have thought of getting back at Consort Hui, since she had once harbored rebellious thoughts.

But she just had a fight with Kangxi a few days ago, so it's not good to do it too often.

Therefore, the only way to avoid it is to neither see nor hear it.

Emperor Kangxi was not a fool; he would never tell Consort Hui what she had said in her tearful wailing.

"Okay, I'll do as Jiaojiao says. I'll have Li Dequan follow me around from now on."

Harigana gently patted Kangxi's shoulder and snuggled into his arms: "You make me sound like a complaining woman."

That's what she said, but Kangxi noticed the slight upturn of her lips.

"Hmm! Not a complaining woman, but a little jealous one."

Kangxi began to woo himself again, thinking that his darling was really easy to please, and that just having Li Dequan around made her feel at ease.

The next day, Kangxi did not summon Consort Hui to the imperial tent, but instead had her taken to the adjacent tent.

Consort Hui was filled with unease. She had just been thinking about making careful plans yesterday, and today she was summoned by Emperor Kangxi.

She dares not even dream of such a wonderful thing as being a car chaperone now, even if she doesn't want to admit it, she is really old.

Even when the Emperor didn't have Harigana, he wasn't very enthusiastic about her.

Moreover, with such a young and beautiful woman by his side, how could the emperor possibly still want her?

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"

Consort Hui knelt on the ground to pay her respects.

Kangxi did not let her get up, but turned the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand and looked at her with a sharp gaze.

Inside the tent were only the emperor and empress, and Li Dequan, who had been inexplicably ordered not to leave.

Consort Hui knelt on the ground, and even though she couldn't see Kangxi's expression, she still couldn't help but tremble.

"Consort Hui, do you really want Yinqi to become emperor, and do you want to become empress dowager?"

Without wasting a word, Kangxi slammed the beaded string in his hand onto the table: "Should I abdicate now and pass the throne to a worthy successor? Yinti is too young, and your Nara clan should have adult men. Why don't we just pass the Qing dynasty to your Nara clan?"

Li Dequan almost burst out laughing.

The Emperor has really been corrupted by following the Imperial Noble Consort.

In the past, I would have been furious and cursed endlessly if I had encountered something like this.

Now it's in hand, but it's sarcastic and even ironic.

Consort Hui's face turned deathly pale: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is innocent! I had no intention of overstepping my bounds."

Kangxi chuckled lightly: "Oh? You mean my secret guards lied to me?"

Upon hearing the words "secret guards," Consort Hui immediately looked up at Emperor Kangxi, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She never expected that the Emperor would send his secret guards to the Mulan Hunting Grounds.

The tension in my body suddenly dissipated, and luckily I was kneeling, otherwise I would have fallen directly to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I know I am guilty, but Yinti is innocent. Please do not take your anger out on Yinti."

His voice was filled with helplessness and resentment, but no regret.

Kangxi felt a chill in his heart. He had originally thought that he would only give Yinti a warning this time because of her years of service to him, but he did not expect her to be so stubborn.

"Consort Hui, I will not harm you, because Yinti is a good child, and I cannot let her have a mother who is deep in the cold palace."

But from now on, you'll only be Consort Hui.

Just as Consort Hui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard: "Li Dequan, draft the imperial edict!"

The eldest prince is by nature arrogant and domineering, disloyal and unfilial; he is now demoted to a commoner and forbidden from ever entering the palace again.
