He shook his head, his face full of rejection.

The fact that the person is still conscious proves that their body can still withstand the strain.

Emperor Kangxi felt a pang of regret, but such an opportunity was truly rare. He had been preparing since leaving the capital, and now he was returning to the capital to realize his wish.

Therefore, how could he possibly let her go so easily?

The next day, when Harigana woke up, he felt like his body had fallen apart; his whole body ached, but he didn't feel any pain.

With his eyes closed, he cursed Kangxi in his heart for a long time until his anger subsided before opening his eyes.

However, she decided to find a way to solve this problem, so that the scoundrel wouldn't use this trick again; she really couldn't handle it.

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

Kangxi's face was full of concern, but also a little guilty.

Looking around, I saw the inner hall of the Summer Palace.

"Um!"

Okay, my voice is hoarse too.

She rolled her eyes at Kangxi, only to hear, "Jiaojiao, I'll go get you a glass of water."

Although the dog of a man usually takes good care of her, his tone and actions today were unusually attentive.

After drinking a glass of water and feeling a bit better, Harigana looked at Kangxi with resentment: "Didn't you say you were going to behave yesterday?"

I thought he would admit his mistake or make excuses, but instead he said, "Jiaojiao, you were the one who pestered me yesterday, saying you wanted to sleep with me."

Harigana's eyes widened; this man was truly shameless.

She was dizzy yesterday, but not stupid.

But now she can't tell the truth, which is really frustrating for her.

"Impossible! You're lying, I wouldn't do that!"

He denies it, and she denies it too!

After saying that, she turned around angrily, closed her eyes, and ignored him.

Kangxi touched his nose, somewhat relieved that she was too drunk to remember anything, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to coax her back.

Just as he was about to say that he would definitely hold his ground from now on, he saw the girl who had turned away suddenly turn back around, looking at him with unfriendly eyes: "I remember now, there was alcohol in the weird-tasting pastry I ate yesterday!"

Kangxi's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately he was already prepared.

"Jiaojiao, how would I know you can't drink alcohol? How could I possibly give you anything with alcohol in it?"

Judging from his self-righteous demeanor, he must have come up with a solution. There was no point in persisting, so I turned my back to him.

Harigana muttered something under his breath, and Kangxi listened carefully and realized he was being scolded. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the fluffy head with obvious affection.

"Jiaojiao, shall I carry you to the washroom?"

There was no response; he didn't even utter a soft hum that he usually made when he was being petulant.

Kangxi felt very guilty and didn't dare to actually pick her up and carry her away.

"Jiaojiao!"

Harigana rolled his eyes inwardly, grabbed the blanket to hide his head, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep a little longer.

Result: "Jiaojiao!"

Kangxi gently tugged at her blanket, but she still didn't react.

"Jiaojiao, I was wrong!"

Harigana was a little sleepy, but the man behind her kept calling her name, and she really wanted to yell at him.

I took a deep breath; it really was stuffy hiding under the covers.

After a moment, she squinted through her blurry eyes and threw back the covers: "You're so sure I won't get angry at you, aren't you?"

Looking at the pitiful Harigana, Kangxi immediately regretted his unrestrained desire for her the day before.

He reached out and picked her up, holding her in his arms: "Jiaojiao, I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again. I'll listen to you, okay?"

Harigana's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Really? You'll listen to me from now on?"

Kangxi felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

But the words have already been spoken, and going back on them now would definitely anger people.

"Jiaojiao, when have I ever lied to you!"

Even if I'm unwilling, I have to appease her. As for what happens next, I'll deal with that later.

Not to mention the discomfort of Harigana, even Emperor Kangxi himself experienced some back pain.

He's able to get up early simply because of his biological clock; he wants to take a nap with the little one in his arms later.

"Okay, from now on, it will be twice a month, on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month!"

Kangxi froze. What does "twice a day, on the first and fifteenth of the month" mean?

He was feeling a bit unwell, but he wasn't so useless that he could only have sex twice a month.

Besides, if her period happens on the first or fifteenth of the lunar month, wouldn't it become once a month?

Shake your head immediately!

"Jiaojiao, this is too cruel. I hold you every day, and you won't let me touch you. Aren't you trying to kill me?"

Harigana pouted: "You said you'd listen to me, but now you're going back on your word."

Of course she knew it was impossible. Putting aside her own feelings, she herself had impulses after giving birth.

But isn't negotiation all about skill?

You need to let the other party know your expectations so that they won't act recklessly when you raise the stakes.

"Jiaojiao, I do it more than twice a day. Yesterday I did it seven or eight times. Now you're telling me it's only twice? I don't agree."

Kangxi sounded aggrieved, and Harigana was secretly delighted: He'd taken the bait!

She frowned, hesitated for a moment, then grabbed his collar: "Then, how many times do you want to?"

His face flushed red, and his voice was very soft.

Harigana was genuinely embarrassed. Anyone would be embarrassed to have something like this out in the open, right?

But she had no choice but to tell him!

Emperor Kangxi was as strong as an ox; even the best land couldn't withstand his strength.

Cleaning it is a nightmare, in particular!

"One," Kangxi wanted to say once a day, but when he met her pitiful eyes, he could only settle for second best: "once every two days!"
