Harigana suppressed the urge to glare at someone and quietly tightened his grip on Kangxi's hand.

Kangxi naturally sensed the mischievous actions of the little person in his arms, but as a tough man, Harigana could not harm him in the slightest, even with all his strength.

However, thinking about the marks he found when he changed his clothes this morning, he had the idea of ​​teasing Harigana a little.

"Jiaojiao! My neck hurts a bit! Can you take a look? Is it because I was bitten by an insect?"

As Kangxi spoke, he tilted his head, revealing the scratch on his neck that had been inflicted by Harigana.

Harigana was secretly exerting her strength when she heard Kangxi say that her neck might have been bitten. She quickly let go of Kangxi's arm, pulled up her collar, and saw a scratch mark. She blushed instantly.

"Jiaojiao! Did something bite you? Can you see clearly?"

Kangxi's expression remained perfectly normal, as if he genuinely didn't know she had grabbed his neck. Harigana, embarrassed and unsure how to respond, nervously clutched Kangxi's collar.

"Jiaojiao! Can't you see it either? Then let me go find a mirror and look!" Kangxi said, trying to put Harigana aside. Harigana, in a panic, immediately hugged his neck and shook her head rapidly: "No, I wasn't bitten! No need to look! Yes! No need to look!"

After Harigana finished speaking, he hugged Kangxi tightly and wouldn't let go. If the two of them didn't know what was going on, they would really look like a very loving couple, clinging to each other and unwilling to part.

"Alright! Then I won't look in the mirror!" Kangxi continued, following Harigana's words. Just as Harigana was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard, "Let Li Dequan come in and take a look! My neck really hurts!"

Harigana, who was about to let go, hugged Kangxi's neck again. The next second, she finally realized that this man was teasing her.

"emperor!"

Emperor Kangxi noticed that the little girl was shy and looked like she was about to cry, so he quickly abandoned his teasing intentions and tried to comfort her.

"Jiaojiao, be good! Don't cry! We're husband and wife, what's there to be embarrassed about? Hmm?"

Harigana silently cursed in his heart: You just said I was a good thing, and now you say we're husband and wife. In a way, you're not a good thing either!

Besides, which concubine would dare claim to be the emperor's wife? Would she be courting death?

"I have no intention of crying!"

Harigana didn't respond to Kangxi's question about husband and wife. Firstly, she didn't know how to answer in a way that wouldn't offend the emperor while still expressing her own thoughts. Secondly, she figured if he wanted to say it, so be it; she hadn't acknowledged it anyway.

Kangxi didn't notice Harigana's little scheme. Hearing her coquettish complaints, he immediately regretted teasing her and making her so upset!

"Good, good, good! Jiaojiao isn't crying! I must have misjudged her!"

Li Dequan stood outside the door. Although he really didn't want to eavesdrop like his master, he couldn't help but hear the undisguised sounds inside, especially Kangxi's voice, which was hard for him to ignore.

Tsk tsk! Li Dequan thought to himself, "Consort Chen, if you can control the Emperor, then do it! His Majesty just overheard you talking behind your back, aren't you going to get revenge?"

After coaxing Harigana for a while, until they were sure the little girl was really not angry, they called Li Dequan and the others to bring in the food.

"Jiaojiao! Eat some vegetables!"

Emperor Kangxi observed Harigana's meal, noticing that she was only picking at the meat and not touching the vegetables. He then picked up a piece of leafy greens and placed it on Harigana's plate.

After what happened last time, Kangxi again dined himself this time, without letting Li Dequan serve the meal.

"Your Majesty! May I not eat?"

Harigana decided to tell Kangxi the truth: she didn't want to eat it! Besides, who knew if she would still be able to eat such delicious beef and mutton after entering the palace!

Besides, even if you took the beef and mutton from here to the palace, you could never make it taste the same!

There is a spring not far from where they are now. Emperor Kangxi's meals were made with water from that spring, which is why they were exceptionally sweet.

With beautiful water and lush grass, the sheep and cattle naturally grow fat and healthy!

"Jiaojiao! Eating only meat and not vegetables is bad for your health. Even if you love meat, you still need a balanced diet! It's a bad habit to only eat one kind of food!"

Kangxi's words were not without reason, and Harigana understood his meaning, so he bit his lip and silently picked it up and put it in his mouth.

"good!"

Although Harigana swallowed it whole, Kangxi was still pleased. After all, the little girl hadn't stubbornly insisted, but had listened to him and was making changes!

Last time, we talked about how Harigana doesn't actually dislike vegetables, but because she ate almost entirely bland food when she was hospitalized in her previous life, she started eating meat like crazy after she came here.

Besides this, the most important reason is that there are very few green vegetables available at this time of year, especially on the grasslands where there are only wild vegetables and very few people spend money to buy them!

Moreover, summers on the grasslands are very short, while winters are long. Therefore, they need to eat a lot of high-calorie foods to maintain their body temperature, and beef and mutton are their first choice.

"Your Majesty! Please eat too!"

Harigana placed a piece of mutton on Kangxi's plate. She knew from the last time that Kangxi preferred light food. Even though such a heavy dish was on the table, he would only eat three bites.

So Harigana did it on purpose, letting him take care of his food and drink!

If she's not having an easy time, then Kangxi can't be either!

"good!"

Kangxi did not refuse and ate the food that Harigana put on his plate without changing his expression.

Although Harigana was puzzled, she didn't show it, as her mind was completely focused on the bitter taste in her mouth.

The sight of the two of them was utterly astonishing to Li Dequan. Who could have imagined that the Emperor would eat food offered to him by someone else, and do so without even batting an eye!

What Li Dequan didn't know was that in the near future, he would be even more surprised.

"Jiaojiao! Drink some willow sprout soup, it's good for your health!"

Seeing that Harigana had put down her chopsticks, Emperor Kangxi personally served her a bowl of soup.

Harigana genuinely refused to drink this! She's a human being, a higher animal! She likes to eat meat!

"Your Majesty! I'm full, may I please stop drinking?"

Harigana's voice was soft and gentle, and his expression held a hint of pleading, which almost made Emperor Kangxi's heart soften.

"Sweetie! Have some, it's delicious!"

Harigana reluctantly took the soup bowl from Kangxi's hand, wanting to smash it like last time, but he knew he couldn't do it again.

He's the emperor; he could definitely tell which of these little tricks were genuine mistakes and which were fake or intentional!
