Kangxi looked at the scroll that Harigana took out, and took it from her hand with delight before turning around and going to the side.

The painting depicts the two of them sitting on a swing, with two children standing at their feet, looking up at them.

The paints are all warm colors, which looks very cozy.

After reading it, Kangxi carefully put it away and made sure it wouldn't fall before returning to his bedside.

"Jiaojiao, I like it very much!"

Harigana struggled for a long time, unsure of what to give, and finally decided to give a painting.

"If you like it, that's good. I'll paint one every year from now on, and take it out to look at when I'm old."

Without photographs, they could only use portraits to record the children's growth.

Actually, she just wanted to be lazy so she wouldn't have to think of anything to give him later.

"good!"

After Kangxi finished speaking, he took out a bracelet from his bosom and placed it on her hand: "Jiaojiao, this is something I made myself."

Harigana took it, and there was a love knot on it, with a small bell next to it.

I must say, it's actually quite beautiful.

Although it's simple, it's really not easy for a man like Emperor Kangxi to compile this.

"Put this on for me, quick!"

She looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes and reached out her hand for his help.

Is it pretty?

He waved his hand in front of Kangxi, making a tinkling sound. It wasn't very loud, but you could hear the sound of small bells.

"It's beautiful, so very beautiful."

He took her hand and pulled her into his arms.

Gently stroking her hair and looking at the sleeping child beside her, Kangxi felt very content.

Without the Empress Dowager's interference, and with the concubines in the harem being very obedient, Harigana lived a very leisurely life.

Sometimes he would leave the palace to stay at the Duke's mansion for a day, and sometimes he would take people to stay at the estate for two days.

However, it only lasted for two days.

If she didn't return within two days, Kangxi would go and arrest her early on the third day.

So, the day before, I had a bit too much fun with the kids and didn't go back home. As a result, Emperor Kangxi came over right after court.

"Jiaojiao, do you still remember that you have a husband?"

His tone was full of resentment, which almost made the servants around him burst out laughing.

At first, the people on the estate were afraid of the emperor's dark face. They liked the empress who was down-to-earth and were afraid that she would be punished by the emperor.

They later realized they were wrong.

No matter how dark the Emperor's face looks, he will never truly get angry when the Empress is present.

"Xuan Ye, come quickly!"

Harigana's hands were covered in mud, and the two children's faces were also filthy.

"They're here!"

Hearing that he was being called over, all his resentment vanished, and he rushed over to help.

"Giggle!"

Upon seeing Kangxi, she wobbled and reached out to him for a hug, since he always hugged her when no one else was around.

"Beibei, no! Your little duck is going to run away."

Harigana tried to distract Beibei, and she was indeed drawn in.

"Ahhh!"

He turned to look at the little ducklings, pointing at them and saying something.

"Jiaojiao, what made you decide to raise ducks for them?"

Kangxi squatted down beside her, and just as he finished speaking, he heard Bao Bao sigh.

Since the two of them started walking unsteadily, the baby has become more and more like a little adult.

They've gotten used to shaking their heads and sighing every now and then.

"Since we have nothing else to do, we might as well take them out for some fun."

Emperor Kangxi chuckled.

She's not doing anything; she just wants to have fun and is using the baby and Beibei as an excuse.

"Ah, Father! Duck, duck!"

When Beibei suddenly called out to someone, Kangxi was so excited he almost fell to the ground.

"Beibei, say it again."

I held onto her shoulder, wanting to hear another word, but she slapped me across the face, smearing my hand with mud.

"Duck, duck!"

Harigana laughed heartily, while Kangxi felt a chill in his heart.

"Xuan Ye, she, her ducks ran away, and she wants you to catch them for her."

Beibei struggled to break free from his grasp, looking at Harigana who was laughing heartily: "Cool, duck, duck!"

"Oh my, Xuan Ye Bei Bei can call me 'Mother' now."

She reached out and grabbed the little duck, then held it up to Beibei and waved it in front of her: "Call me Mother, and Mother will give you the little duck."

Kangxi looked at Harigana and was surprised that she had actually come up with a clever idea. Why hadn't he thought of using this thing to coax the child?

"Cool, cool, duck! I want some!"

Two little pigtails swayed back and forth as she stretched out her dark little hands, trying to grab a duck.

“Beibei, the little duck was bought with money by your father. You are also called your father.”

Bayalig turned to look at Kangxi, then frowned: "Filthy, wicked! Ah, Ma!"

Harigana turned his head to look at the man beside him. His face was covered in mud and he looked really dirty. He was also quite wicked and knew how to bully people.

"Here you go! Be careful, don't fall on the ground, it will hurt the duck."

He placed the duck in her hands and gently instructed her.

On the other hand, Emperor Kangxi looked unhappy.

He came clean and tidy, but now she's the one who's made him dirty and is even complaining about him.

Watching her daughter playing with the duck, she sighed helplessly. She had truly inherited her mother's carefree nature perfectly.

Look how happy they are, smiling so broadly.

"Little Li, go fetch some water."

Playing around is fine, but Kangxi was an emperor, and having a muddy face would have diminished his dignity.

"Baby, call me Mother."

After instructing Xiao Li, he looked at Yin Fu standing to the side and tried to coax him.

"Mother!"

Yin Fu spoke decisively, turning to look at Kangxi: "Father!"

He could already call out, but his sister couldn't yet. He couldn't call out, because it would make his sister seem stupid.

"Good girl, that's a great call."

Harigana wanted to pat his head, but his hands were covered in mud, so he could only hold his hand.

"Xiao Jiu is great!"

This time, Kangxi didn't hold back in praising Yin Fu. He reached out and patted Yin Fu's head, causing Yin Fu to blush and turn to find Bei Bei.

After washing them clean, Harigana stood to the side with his arm around his, watching the two children play nearby. The scene looked very heartwarming.

At first, Emperor Kangxi did not approve of the children playing these games, always thinking they would be very dirty.

But Harigana convinced him with a single sentence: “Xuan Ye, this is how ordinary people’s children grow up, and they are healthy and strong, rarely getting sick.”

Have you ever wondered why the vast majority of children of high-ranking officials and nobles are frail and sickly?

Because they are too pampered, they are very sensitive to everything in the outside world and can easily get sick.

Therefore, babies and babies should not be pampered.

They may not experience the hardships of life, but they should still be able to witness the full spectrum of human nature.

Only in this way can they learn to cherish.

Emperor Kangxi was persuaded by Harigana's words and allowed the mother and her two children to have fun.

It wasn't until several times later that I realized that not spoiling children was truly the case.

But it's also true that Harigana made excuses for his fun!

However, it's good that it makes her happy.
