Hearing that Emperor Kangxi had just coaxed Harigana to sleep, Consort Hui felt a pang in her heart once again.

"I will see Her Majesty the Empress again tomorrow. I'll be returning now."

Just as Consort Hui was about to turn around, Li Dequan quickly walked up to her and said, "Consort Hui, His Majesty said that Her Majesty the Empress needs to rest peacefully these days and should not be disturbed."

"Consort Hui, why don't you wait until Her Majesty the Empress is feeling better before you come?"

Li Dequan's face was full of smiles, but what he said made Consort Hui stagger.

The Emperor is doing this on purpose; he simply doesn't want the Empress to see her.

With a heavy heart, he knelt directly at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace.

"Eunuch Li, I wish to see the Emperor."

Li Dequan sighed but did not try to persuade him: "This servant will go and inform them now."

He went in and came out shortly after, but he came out with Emperor Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

Consort Hui was overjoyed, completely unaware that the Emperor hadn't even let her in through the door.

"Speak, what do you want to see me for?"

Emperor Kangxi stood inside the palace gate, looking at her with his hands behind his back.

His voice was calm, without anger, but also without joy.

"Your Majesty, I would like to request that Your Majesty allow those women..."

Before Consort Hui could finish speaking, Emperor Kangxi immediately interrupted her: "Consort Hui, Yinti is a prince, my son."

Although you are the mother, you cannot make decisions for the princes.

"I will not pursue your responsibility for today's events for the time being. Go back and reflect on your actions in seclusion."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he turned and left without even glancing at him.

Consort Hui stared in disbelief at the departing figure, never expecting the Emperor to say such hurtful things.

Realizing what was happening, he tried to follow her inside, but Li Dequan quickly had someone cover his mouth: "Your Highness Consort Hui, this is the Qianqing Palace. Please be mindful of your status."

Consort Hui was extremely frustrated, but Emperor Kangxi had already disappeared. Even if she shouted, it would only make more people see her embarrassing situation.

She staggered back to the palace with the help of her maid, already prepared herself for the fact that no one would care for her in her old age.

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi sat next to Harigana, feeling increasingly sorry for Yinti.

In the past, he wouldn't have thought about this so much.

But after spending a lot of time with Harigana, he also changed a lot.

"Jiaojiao, Consort Hui's abacus beads are about to bounce onto my face."

That sounds nice, all for the sake of the imperial heir, but in the end, isn't it just a fear of who will take care of them in their old age?

Harigana really wanted to say, if you hadn't brought in every single one you saw, how could there have been so many problems?

But even though she wanted to say it, she couldn't.

Not to mention that Kangxi is already in a very bad mood, saying this might hurt his feelings, and actually, this matter can't really be blamed on Kangxi.

He was just copying what the previous generation did.

Among them, the most pitiful were not Emperor Kangxi, nor Consort Hui and others, but the children.

However, hearing such down-to-earth words, Harigana couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Moreover, her voice carried a sense of grievance.

"Jiaojiao, I'm angry, what are you laughing at?"

Kangxi originally wanted to pick her up, but when he saw the corners of her mouth turned up, he felt even more annoyed.

"Xuan Ye, what's the use of getting angry?"

She held his hand and played with his fingers, saying, "Your voice sounded so wronged; I would have thought I was bullying you."

She turned to look at him and said, "Xuan Ye, Yin Ti is lucky to have you as his father. His mother is not good, so you should take better care of him."

When he returns, reward him properly, and then Consort Hui will realize her mistake.

"Well, for your sake, I'll be a little nicer to him too."

As Harigana spoke, he held up his finger to show that it was indeed just a tiny bit, about the distance through which a piece of paper could pass.

Kangxi was touched by her words.

Actually, he was also afraid, worried that he might not be able to come back. But Yinti was the eldest son, and he had to make some achievements.

Otherwise, even if he is made a king in the future, he will still be ridiculed.

For others, it might not matter, but Yinti valued his reputation and absolutely could not allow his younger brother to bestow the title of prince upon him without any merit.

It is perfectly acceptable for the emperor's sons to be granted the title of prince, but there must be a distinction between those who have the ability and those who do not.

Once he has children, gossip can destroy a person.

But after listening to Harigana's words, he instantly gained confidence.

Yinti is his son; he will surely crush that small vassal state and return in triumph.

On the third day, before Kangxi returned from the Imperial Study, Yinti went to Qingxi Palace with Lady Irgen Gioro.

It wasn't until they entered the palace gates that they learned that Consort Hui had only caused a scene at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace the day before being confined to her quarters.

"Your son and daughter-in-law greet Your Majesty."

Harigana hadn't planned to get up, but he hurriedly got up when he heard they were coming.

"Get up! Haven't I told you many times that there are no outsiders here, you don't need to kneel?"

Dulan and Xiao Lizi quickly went up to help Lianfa and the other two up, and soon tea was ready.

Harigana could roughly guess why Yinti had come, but when he brought Irgen Gioro clan with him, she was somewhat puzzled.

"Boss, your father said you have to go to the battlefield with him."

"Your mother was planning to summon you to the palace tomorrow, but you've come ahead of schedule."

Harigana smiled and asked, "Have you set a time? When are you leaving?"

Irgen Gioro had always liked the Empress, and now, hearing her speak so gently, and thinking of her husband going to the battlefield, her eyes instantly reddened.
