The next day, when Harigana woke up, Kangxi was leaning against the bed, looking as if he had just woken up.

"Jiaojiao! You're awake? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kangxi reached out and touched Harigana's earlobe, a slight smile playing on his lips, but his gaze remained fixed on Harigana.

"Your Majesty! Have you been awake for a long time? I didn't oversleep, did I?"

Harigana quietly freed her ear from Kangxi's grasp, and then followed his gaze to see that her nightgown had probably been unbuttoned a few times while she was sleeping, and her inner garment was peeking out from the side of her bodice!

"ah!"

Harigana hurriedly covered her chest, trying to pull the blanket over herself, but Kangxi seemed to know her intentions and flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.

"Jiaojiao! You're so beautiful!"

Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi knew what was important and, after teasing Harigana to the point of ambiguity, let her go.

"Your Majesty! The Grand Consort has arrived!"

Harigana had just seen Kangxi off, and when the caravan was about to depart, he would have Li Dequan come and call her over. So right now, she was sitting in the shade watching Dulan and Xiao Lizi unpack her usual dressing case and prepare to take it away!

And then there's Granny Su, who's currently taking stock of Harigana's dowry, preparing to have Chasu lead a few Mongol soldiers and Qing officials to transport the items to the capital first.

"Mother!"

Harigana walked in the direction of Sainziya, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

"My dear daughter!"

Saenjiya held Harigana tightly, unable to say anything else, and those around her were also moved to tears.

When Li Dequan arrived, Harigana and Senjiya were hugging each other and crying, and hadn't said a word yet.

"This servant greets Consort Chen! Greetings to the Grand Consort!"

Harigana released Saiengiya, turned around and looked at Li Dequan with teary eyes, asking, "Has the Emperor made preparations?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor has made all the necessary preparations. That's why he sent me to invite you over!"

Li Dequan's voice was respectful, no less so than when he spoke to Emperor Kangxi!

"Okay! You go back first, I'll be right there!"

Harigana wiped away her tears. She was still not used to saying "I am the Empress" and kept forgetting it.

"Yes! This servant will go back and report to His Majesty immediately!"

Emperor Kangxi stood beside the carriage. Several concubines had already walked past him, seemingly unintentionally, hoping to accompany him on the journey.

But Kangxi acted as if he didn't see them, and kept talking to Wenduer and Baoliri and the others beside him.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan returned and walked to Kangxi's side.

"Hmm! Where is everyone?"

"Your Majesty, Consort Chen is bidding farewell to the Grand Consort. She instructed me to report that she will be here shortly!"

Li Dequan and Kangxi weren't speaking very loudly, but everyone present could hear them clearly.

Wenduer and the others glanced at Baoliri intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes filled with envy. However, there was something else mixed in with Wenduer's eyes besides envy, but no one saw it.

"Okay! Get ready, we'll set off once Consort Chen arrives!"

Emperor Kangxi said nothing. After all, it was a journey of thousands of miles, and it was understandable that he would feel reluctant to part with his loved one.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Dequan bowed and withdrew, leaving Kangxi and the others to talk.

Baoli Ri also wanted to say a few words to his daughter, but as the leader, he had to stay with Kangxi at the moment, so he could only wait until Harigana arrived and find an opportunity to say a few words.

Harigana arrived shortly after. Seeing so many people, she was momentarily stunned, but then realized that some of them were leaders of the Khorchin, likely accompanying Emperor Kangxi on his southward journey. However, none of this concerned her; she would remain silent.

Only after getting closer did they realize that Baoli Ri was also among them; no wonder they hadn't seen him earlier!

"Your Majesty, this concubine presents this..."

As soon as Harigana's knees bent, Kangxi took her hand and pulled her up.

"Didn't I say that there's no need for formalities with me?"

The people present had different thoughts. Some families had daughters who were going to enter the palace as concubines because of Bumbutair. Now, seeing how favored this princess of Borchijin was and how beautiful she was, they wondered if their daughters would have a chance to rise in the world.

But Baoli Ri was different. The more his daughter was favored, the happier he was. It wasn't because Borchijin could get anything from Harigana, but because his daughter could receive the emperor's favor in a place like the palace, which was a kind of talisman for her!

"Greetings to Consort Chen!"

All the Mongolian officials, including Baoboliri, bowed to Harigana. This was the first time Harigana had received such a large audience, especially since her mother, Eqige, was also present.

"No need for formalities, Abu! Please get up!"

Harigana was anxious to help Baoliri up, but how could Kangxi give her the chance to touch another man? He held her hand and wouldn't let go.

"Baoliri, get up! Can't you see how anxious Harigana is!"

At this moment, Leonardo DiCaprio, with great insight, stepped forward to help Paul Ri get up, a scene that made everyone present extremely envious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Consort Chen!"

"Abu!"

Harigana couldn't break free and could only look at Baoliri with slightly red eyes, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Let's go! Let's set off!"

At Kangxi's command, everyone stepped aside and knelt in worship. After being helped into the carriage by Dulan, Harigana lifted the curtain and looked out the window at Saenjiya, Baoliri, and Namuria, who had already arrived. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Jiaojiao! Be good!"

Kangxi hugged Harigana, preventing her from looking outside.

"Your Majesty! Will I ever see them again?"

Harigana really loves Saenjiya and the others, so this farewell might be her last!

Kangxi wiped away Harigana's tears and gently comforted her. Only after she stopped crying did he feel completely relieved.

The imperial physician had previously instructed that her emotions should not fluctuate too much, and he was afraid that Harigana would cry too sadly, which is why he sent her to the emperor's carriage.

As the convoy traversed the vast grasslands and entered the foothills of the Greater Khingan Mountains, Harigana's heart grew increasingly calm as he looked at the increasingly unfamiliar surroundings.

"Jiaojiao! Aren't you tired? You've been walking all morning. Do you want to rest for a bit?"

Harigana nodded. She was indeed tired, and it would be best if she could go down and stretch her legs.

"Your Majesty, won't this cause delays?"

Kangxi shook his head, then lifted the curtain and asked Li Dequan to arrange for him to rest.

"Your Majesty, I'd like to take Dulan out for a walk!"

Harigana wanted to use the restroom, but he was too embarrassed to say it when he saw Kangxi, so his face turned bright red after he did.

"Okay! Go and come back quickly!"

But when Harigana returned from using the restroom, he found a pretty young girl standing next to Kangxi's imperial carriage, who looked like a maid.

Harigana's mind sank.
