Chapter 77 My Empress is Back
If her relationship with the emperor is not as good as it was in the previous life, then no one can say for sure what the future holds.
Xiao Feng suggested that her master maintain his loving relationship with the emperor.
After all, the young couple had a deep affection for each other.
Although Fanghua felt uncomfortable, she was willing to change for her own sake and for her child's sake.
And so, she stayed by his side again, just like before.
Even if I don't do anything or say anything, just being by his side is enough.
Emperor Kangxi was flattered, after all, the Empress's personality had changed drastically since she became pregnant.
Even when facing him, he often didn't give him a good look. All the deep affection they had shown each other before seemed like an illusion, and he always felt that it was just his fantasy.
But now that the Empress has returned to her former self, he is naturally filled with anticipation and joy.
He loved the Queen.
"Fang'er, you've worked hard." Kangxi put down the smiley face in his hand, leaned back, and then closed his eyes.
Feeling the familiar force, Kangxi's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and not only that, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
His Fang'er, his empress, seems to have returned to normal.
After relieving his fatigue, Kangxi opened his eyes and said, "Alright, Fang'er must be tired too. Let me rub your hands."
As he spoke, he took her hand and gently kneaded it.
Fanghua was filled with countless thoughts.
They were sincere at one time.
Her feelings were genuine, and his were true, but unfortunately, he was an emperor and ultimately succumbed to power.
"Fang'er hasn't paid attention to me for a long time. I even envy that brat Chenghu."
For some unknown reason, Kangxi turned to the Empress with a hint of resentment and said, "Fang'er, why don't you pay some attention to me too?"
Fanghua looked into his familiar gaze and her heart softened. She walked from behind him to stand in front of him and said, “It’s not that I’m ignoring Your Majesty. It’s just that Chenghu is too young and I can’t bear to leave him. Now that Chenghu doesn’t need me to accompany him every day, I’ve come to keep Your Majesty company.”
Looking directly into his eyes, I saw his reflection in them, and my eyes were filled with deep affection for him, heartfelt and genuine.
If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.
"Alright, you said it yourself, Fang'er, don't go back on your word."
Fanghua glared at him, annoyed. "Your Majesty is always talking nonsense. When have I ever broken my word?" She had never broken a promise she made to him.
Only him.
never mind.
"It was my fault, I was talking nonsense. Fang'er is the most trustworthy." Kangxi said with a look of doting affection.
His eyes were genuinely full of affection, and his gaze burned with love.
Fang'er was so overwhelmed by his gaze that she dared not meet his eyes. She looked away and said, "Your Majesty is not wrong. It is I who was wrong. I should not have neglected you because of the child."
Seeing the empty teacups on the table, she withdrew her hand, walked to the side, took the boiling water from the stove, and slowly poured it into the teapot.
After letting it sit for a while, she poured the tea into the teacup, picked it up and came to Kangxi's side, saying, "Now I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, you cannot let your heart be separated from mine."
Seeing her like this, Kangxi was overjoyed. He knew that his beloved had returned.
"Alright." Kangxi personally took the tea she handed him. "How could I possibly be angry with Fang'er? It's always Fang'er who's angry with me."
The relationship between the two changed due to Fang'er's transformation, from estrangement to passionate love, and they wished they could be together every day.
As an emperor, Kangxi would not wrong himself. When he missed the empress, he would come to Kunning Palace to find her after finishing his political affairs.
Chenghu threw a tantrum, but his heartless parents refused to let him in, which made the little guy cry hysterically.
In the end, Fanghua couldn't bear to part with it and kept it by her side. Because of this, Kangxi made many unreasonable demands, which infuriated Fanghua.
The deepening of the couple's relationship was naturally met with disapproval from some, but so what? Before Fanghua could make a move, Kangxi completely shielded her.
Sure enough, that person eventually came knocking on our door.
"Empress, I have always thought highly of you, but as Empress, you have more to do than just serve others." The Empress Dowager's health was deteriorating, and she looked very gloomy.
The words he spoke carried a deep chill.
Fanghua wasn't afraid, but nobody likes being watched every day.
"Your Majesty is right, I understand." She coaxed the Empress Dowager gently, "I will certainly manage the palace affairs well."
The Empress Dowager choked. Was that what she meant?
"Empress, don't try to fool me. You know what I'm saying," the Empress Dowager rebuked sharply. "You are the Empress, not a concubine. What is the purpose of your constant clinging to the Emperor?"
After saying that, the Empress Dowager threw the teacup beside her at Fanghua.
Fortunately, she was in poor health, otherwise the teacup would have really hit her.
"Grandmother, please calm down. Your granddaughter-in-law knows her mistake. Please take care of yourself, Grandmother. If anything happens to you, the Emperor will be heartbroken."
Fanghua looked up at the angry Empress Dowager with a worried expression, saying things that made people even angrier.
"Grandmother, your granddaughter-in-law is not clinging to the Emperor. Your granddaughter-in-law is just worried that the Emperor is working too hard for the affairs of the court, so she sends the Emperor some nourishing medicinal meals every day." As she spoke, Fanghua's eyes welled up with tears.
She looked so pitiful that anyone who didn't know better would think the Empress Dowager had bullied her.
"You, you shut up!" The Empress Dowager understood the implication in her words, and she was so angry that she was panting heavily. "You are the Empress, not a vixen. Have you forgotten all the dignity of an Empress?"
Perhaps she was angry, because the Empress Dowager felt like her head was about to explode, but even so she still spoke up and rebuked the Empress.
"If you are not good enough to be the Empress, I will not mind replacing you. Don't think that no one but you, of the Hesheli clan, can be the Empress of the Great Qing."
Would Fanghua be afraid that she would replace the empress?
snort.
That's a good idea, but don't even think about it.
After thinking it over and over, don't think about losing your life.
The Empress Dowager was giving a stern lecture when Emperor Kangxi arrived uninvited and entered without waiting for announcement.
"Why is Grandmother so angry? Did the Empress upset you? Don't worry, I will take the Empress back later and teach her a good lesson."
Kangxi strode in, walked to Fanghua's side, helped her up, and said with a smile to the Empress Dowager as he helped her up.
Li Changfu was clever; when the Empress was summoned away by the Empress Dowager's men, he went to the Qianqing Palace to find the Emperor.
They were all old servants in the palace, and everyone knew what kind of person the Empress Dowager was.
"Hmph, the Emperor's arrival is just in time." The Empress Dowager stopped her tirade when she saw Kangxi arrive. "Anyone who didn't know better would think I was going to do something to the Empress."
Seeing his grandmother so angry, Kangxi was not angry. After helping the Empress to sit down, he sat down next to the Grand Empress Dowager.
"Grandmother, you are too kind. I am already grateful for your help in educating the Empress. How could I think like that? Grandmother, you are overthinking it."
After saying that, he personally handed the tea to the Empress Dowager, saying, "You've been lecturing for a long time, haven't you? Here, have some water."
When the Empress Dowager saw the Emperor personally serving her tea, she reached out, took the cup, and drank a sip.
