Harigana really wanted to curse. This was an imperial edict, not a cabbage, which had been stuffed into her arms so fresh and clean.

Although I had seen it before, I was still very excited to actually make it public.

From then on, she was the rightful empress.

"Xuan Ye, are you... sure you can do this?"

She looked at him helplessly, her eyes filled with worry.

"Jiaojiao, don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

Emperor Kangxi felt a pang of sympathy.

When the woman he loved was given the title of empress, his first reaction was not happiness, but worry for him.

He should cherish a woman like this even more in the future.

The entire harem was in an uproar!

After Harigana finished reading the imperial edict, Kangxi ordered Li Dequan to take it and read it aloud to each palace.

At first, the concubines thought that their suffering was over and they were about to be promoted when they saw the imperial edict.

The result was an imperial edict appointing her as empress. She inexplicably kowtowed in gratitude, then watched as the edict, still pristine, was taken away by Li Dequan, having nothing to do with her.

Especially the Empress Dowager, seeing the imperial edict read to her, although she was happy for Harigana, she couldn't believe that such a thing was being done.

This is the imperial edict appointing her as empress; it must be treated with utmost respect!

As a result, not only did they not see the two main characters, but they also had to go to each palace to have people kowtow and express their gratitude to the emperor.

"Where is the Emperor? Where are the Imperial Nobles and the Empress?"

The Empress Dowager couldn't hold back and, barely suppressing the urge to scold him, asked Li Dequan.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor and Empress are currently at Qingxi Palace."

Qiqige really wanted to go to Qingxi Palace to reprimand the two of them, but when she reached the entrance of Ningshou Palace, she finally sighed and turned back.

Given the emperor's personality, it's unlikely that things would end so simply; there must be some other arrangements.

Let's observe for a couple of days, and if Kangxi doesn't take any further action, then we'll proceed.

"You should go back first!"

Li Dequan immediately responded, "Yes! This servant takes his leave!"

Not only the palace, but in just a short while, the entire court also learned that Harigana had been made empress by the emperor.

Some were happy, while others were sad.

The powerful families that were dealt with by Emperor Kangxi were clearly distressed, while the common people who had benefited from Harigana's kindness were happy.

The soldiers, in particular, knelt and bowed towards the palace, shouting: "Long live the Empress!"

But Harigana was unaware of all this yet, as he was being held and snuggled in Kangxi's arms.

"Jiaojiao, you will be my wife from now on."

Harigana didn't expect that he would issue an imperial edict as soon as he returned. He thought it would take some time. He didn't expect it to be done so quickly.

She became empress?

So easy?

Staring blankly at Kangxi, he swallowed hard: "Xuan Ye, if I do this, a hundred years from now, will I be able to be closer to you?"

When an emperor dies, he is buried with his empress. She was Kangxi's third empress. Does that mean there will be two people between her and Kangxi?

"Jiaojiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

I tapped her on the head; I never expected she would even think about things after Ai Nian.

He sighed. Yesterday's test seemed a bit too serious. His beloved Jiaojiao really loved him.

"oh!"

I didn't ask again. Being foolish once is acceptable, but being foolish again is truly foolish.

She hugged his neck and leaned against him, her little feet dangling back and forth; it was clear she was happy.

Her fingers traced his features back and forth, as if trying to etch his appearance deep into her very bones.

Of course, this was Emperor Kangxi's idea.

"Jiaojiao, try on the clothes first. I have a surprise for you tonight."

As Kangxi spoke, he picked her up, placed her on the ground, and began to unbutton her clothes.

Harigana stood obediently, letting Kangxi do whatever he wanted, only chattering away, asking what the surprise was.

"Xuan Ye, good Xuan Ye, just tell me!"

Kangxi suppressed the urge to speak and shook his head in refusal.

"Jiaojiao, you have to see the surprise yourself, right?"

"Okay! Alright!"

Harigana wasn't unhappy, she just felt restless.

During this time, she didn't feel that Kangxi had done anything. The imperial edict to make her empress had already been issued, so what surprises could he possibly give her?

That's why they say men need to be trained.

If it were the earliest Emperor Kangxi, not to mention the elaborate phoenix robe, she might not even be able to dress Harigana properly in everyday clothes.

Sure enough, after a year and a half of training, Kangxi not only changed into his everyday clothes very quickly, but this time it only took him half an hour.

"Li Dequan!"

After getting dressed, he sat on the low couch with Harigana, his eyes filled with smiles as he looked at her.

As soon as the voice fell, Li Dequan lifted the curtain and came in, followed by a group of servants from Qingxi Palace who served him personally.

"This servant greets His Majesty and His Majesty the Empress. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!"

Among them, Dulan's voice was particularly loud. Although her face could not be seen, her voice, tinged with sobs, could still be discerned.

"Get up!"

Harigana was a little nervous, gripping Kangxi's hand tightly.

"Jiaojiao, could you give me some silver? I want to reward the servants."

Kangxi spoke so bluntly, and the word "shameless" was perfectly embodied in him.
