When Kangxi returned, it was almost midnight, and Harigana was already asleep.
After a quick wash outside, he went to bed to sleep, but as soon as his hand touched her waist, the little one inside her kicked him.
She sat up and gently placed her hand on his stomach, and the two little things inside moved again.
Is this the first time Emperor Kangxi has felt the movements of these two little ones? Each time, he finds it quite strange.
Before Harigana, he had no idea that a baby could move inside the womb. Until a few days ago, Harigana suddenly grabbed his hand and placed it on his belly, and he felt a rolling sensation in his palm.
He found it wonderful and wanted to play with the child a little longer, but he was afraid that Harigana would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't do anything rash.
Now that she's sleeping soundly, he can play with the children for a while without disturbing her.
So, in the dead of night, an emperor, like a thief, quietly played with a belly for half an hour.
It wasn't until Harigana reached out and touched her belly, muttering, "My sweet baby, it's time to sleep," that she reluctantly withdrew her hand and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep.
The next day, when Harigana woke up, Kangxi was no longer in bed. Seeing that it was getting late, he quickly called Dulan in, only to find that it was Kangxi himself who entered.
"Jiaojiao, are you awake?"
Kangxi walked to the bedside, wrapped the person in a quilt, and held him in his arms.
Harigana sniffed, sensing a strange smell about him, not the annoying kind, but a scent he'd never smelled before.
Where have you been?
Kangxi's hand froze. After getting up in the morning, he went directly to the stables and the cowshed, wanting to see how Baoliri came up with the idea of inoculating people with cowpox.
I didn't expect to hear her calling for someone as soon as I walked in; she came in without washing up!
"Tell me! Did you cheat on me with someone else?!"
Harigana sensed Kangxi's stiffness, but it wasn't wrong to joke around and scare people.
Kangxi knew she was joking, so he immediately played along, saying, "Jiaojiao, how could I possibly do such a thing! You can't wrong me!"
Although it was said in a serious tone, not in a coquettish way, Harigana still got goosebumps all over.
"Stop! I love your wisdom, might, domineering self-control!"
Kangxi chuckled and wanted to kiss her, but he blocked it with a single finger!
"Something's not right. What's that smell on you? It smells like grass, but it's not grass!" Harigana's eyes widened immediately after she finished speaking. Wasn't that the smell of cow and horse manure? How could she not think she had smelled it before? She hadn't even thought it was unpleasant just now!
She quickly pushed Kangxi away, her face full of disgust. After remembering what the smell was, she felt terrible, as if she had picked up that smell from herself.
"Li Dequan, Dulan, hurry, prepare water! The Empress and the Emperor both need to bathe!"
Harigana's expression of disdain was so obvious that Kangxi couldn't find any excuse to downplay it in his mind.
I originally wanted to punish her by hugging her, but since we were going to take a shower anyway, I figured I might as well let her get some of that smell too.
But thinking that she was pregnant and might feel nauseous and vomit, which would make his precious daughter suffer, he gritted his teeth and endured it, refraining from going forward.
"Jiaojiao, you just wait! Once these two little ones get out, I'll make you pay double!"
Harigana looked at her indifferently. He had already offended her several times, so what difference would one or two more make?
Seeing the woman becoming increasingly unrestrained, Kangxi could only silently sulk.
There's nothing we can do; he spoiled him rotten.
The main problem is that if I don't spoil her, she might abandon me.
Thinking about it this way, Kangxi felt quite pathetic. A dignified emperor, controlled by a mere woman!
And he damn well loves this woman who has him completely under her thumb!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the water is ready!"
Dulan and Li Dequan stood side by side, each looking at their master, and it seemed as if they were engaged in a silent struggle.
Harigana looked at the man who was helpless against her, and walked out with her head held high and chest out, supported by Dulan.
It wasn't that Kangxi didn't want to follow, but he was afraid that the spoiled little girl would look down on him in front of the two servants.
After washing up, Kangxi finally regained some face by kissing her lips, but he himself was also feeling very uncomfortable.
"Xuan Ye, why did you do this?"
Harigana's lips were a little swollen, but for the sake of saving face, he clicked his tongue three times, then walked to a place some distance away from Kangxi before speaking.
Emperor Kangxi really didn't dare to go and arrest them; he was indeed in a very difficult situation.
"Jiaojiao, you just wait!"
"Okay! I'll be waiting!"
Harigana's first principle in life is: never suffer a loss, no matter what you eat.
The biggest mistake she ever made in her life was being favored by Emperor Kangxi and brought into the palace against her will.
Although things are going well now, a loss is a loss, and she holds a grudge!
Kangxi took a deep breath, then looked at her with a helpless smile.
The peach orchard was indeed very large, and you could smell the fragrance of the flowers from afar. It wasn't overpowering like a sea of flowers in summer, but rather a faint, delicate fragrance.
"Xuan Ye, it's so beautiful! This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful view!"
Harigana was wrapped up tightly by Emperor Kangxi, and his already large belly now looked even more like a ball.
So even now, seeing such a beautiful view, she could only stand there and talk to Kangxi, directing him to break off peach tree branches for her.
Li Dequan and Du Lan were standing far away, so they could only vaguely hear: "Xuan Ye, not that one, yes, yes, yes! Oh, no! Yes, that one!"
Then the emperor, who could terrify anyone with just a glance, was actually willingly ordered to break peach branches.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Why!"
Little Li and Chasu exchanged a glance, then quietly moved a little further away from the two of them.
Sure enough, after a short while, the two people in front of them started arguing quietly, saying something that didn't suit them.
However, it seems that Dulan won, because Li Dequan touched his nose and didn't say anything more.
"Have they always been like this?"
Chasu quietly asked Xiao Li Zi that she didn't always accompany Harigana. She brought her along this time because she needed a skilled maidservant after leaving the palace. Therefore, she rarely saw Li Dequan and Dulan arguing.
Little Li pouted, then nodded, finding it quite amusing to think that his master always ended up getting the short end of the stick.
It wasn't that he didn't care about his master, but every time he said something, as long as Dulan glared at him angrily, his master would surrender.
