"Li Dequan, convey the imperial decree!"
Before the Empress Dowager had even left, she heard Kangxi's words and stood there, holding the Empress Dowager's hand tightly.
Although she had previously said that she would be made an Imperial Noble Consort after giving birth, now that Kangxi no longer listens to her advice, it is unknown whether he will be happy and directly make her Empress.
"Your servant is here!"
Everyone in the room knelt down, except for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, who remained standing.
"Borkhin, Harigana, virtuous and prudent by nature, diligent and gentle, harmonious and pure, gentle and kind in nature, adept at inner conduct, virtuous and dignified."
Now, having borne the first twins of the Aisin Gioro clan, a boy and a girl, for their meritorious service, I am overjoyed. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon them the title of Imperial Noble Consort, with no change in their original title, and grant them residence in the Kunning Palace.
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
Li Dequan wasn't surprised. He already knew that this empress had held her title more than once, and the emperor had already instructed him to start construction when the weather warmed up in the spring.
He wasn't surprised, but the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were indeed shocked.
It's one thing to be a Noble Consort, but what does it mean to keep the same title?
Which imperial concubine has a title?
The Imperial Noble Consort is equivalent to a secondary empress. The character "Kang" already carries a lot of weight. It's one thing for a Noble Consort to use "Kang" as a title, but for the Imperial Noble Consort to use "Kang" is practically telling everyone that she is no different from the Empress.
"Xuan Ye!"
Bumbutai couldn't help but want to persuade him.
An Imperial Noble Consort is acceptable, but an Imperial Noble Consort with a title is absolutely not allowed.
Kangxi knew what the Empress Dowager wanted to say, so when she called Xuan Ye, he immediately instructed Li Dequan: "Li Dequan, personally escort the Empress Dowager back for me."
After giving instructions to Li Dequan, he turned to the old woman in front of him and said, "Grandmother, I know you are very happy to become a Dama, but it is really late now. You have to attend my birthday banquet tonight. Please go back and get some rest."
Bumbutai's words could not continue.
She came to Qingxi Palace tonight because of this matter.
Despite all her calculations, she never expected that the woman from the damned Borchijin tribe would give birth on the Emperor's birthday.
Not only did the Empress Dowager not expect it, but even Emperor Kangxi and everyone else did not expect that Harigana would give birth on this day.
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
The Empress Dowager had no choice but to return to Cining Palace.
Harigana was still asleep, and Kangxi didn't feel there was anything to hide, so he simply lay down next to her and prepared to rest.
Granny Hu hesitated, then ultimately said nothing.
The next day, as soon as the palace gates opened, all the civil and military officials learned that Harigana had become the Imperial Noble Consort and had even given birth to the first pair of twins in the royal family.
The vast majority of people are happy.
The dragon and phoenix symbolize good fortune, foreshadowing an even more prosperous future for the Qing Dynasty.
However, some people were very uneasy, after all, they thought that today would be a day in which both mother and child would be injured. In the end, not only did they safely give birth to twins, but their people have not contacted them since.
"Jiaojiao!"
Emperor Kangxi changed into his court robes and prepared to attend court. Before leaving, he thought he would visit Harigana, but unexpectedly, she woke up.
"Xuan Ye!"
Harigana looked at Kangxi, reached out and touched his own belly, which was flat.
"Li Dequan, go and summon the imperial physician."
When I walked up to Harigana, I didn't hug her because I was wearing court attire.
Looking at the woman whose face was somewhat pale, Kangxi felt both heartache and self-reproach.
If he hadn't acted so impulsively back then, perhaps his beloved daughter wouldn't be suffering like this now.
"Does it hurt? Are you in a lot of pain?"
Harigana shook her head. After a good night's sleep, she felt much better. Apart from feeling weak all over, she was fine.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived!"
Dulan brought Zhao Rongxi in.
"Come quickly and let the Imperial Noble Consort see him."
Harigana was puzzled. The Imperial Noble Consort? When did this happen? Was it decided while she was asleep?
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
Zhao Rongxi went up to take Harigana's pulse and felt a strong and powerful pulse. He really wanted to shout: "Your Majesty, the Empress's health is better than yours!" But in the end, he kept his mouth shut.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is quite weak after giving birth. She will recover after drinking some nourishing herbal soup and resting for a while."
Unlike before, Harigana didn't question her anymore. It's normal to be weak after giving birth. Besides, she really doesn't have the strength right now, so taking some nourishing medicine would be beneficial.
"Go and get a prescription, and remember to use the best medicinal herbs."
Zhao Rongxi withdrew and went out to prepare the medicine.
"Your Majesty, you will miss the morning court session."
Dulan braced herself and tried to persuade Kangxi. It wasn't her initiative, but rather because Li Dequan couldn't come in, so he asked her at the door to try and persuade the emperor.
Emperor Kangxi wanted to show some concern for Harigana, but Dulan's interruption nearly made him furious.
"Xuan Ye, I'm fine. Go to court immediately, I'll wait for your return. Go now!"
Dulan buried her head on the ground, refusing to look at anyone. Anyway, the message had been delivered, and even if the emperor was unhappy, he wouldn't drag her out and kill her over this one matter.
Moreover, as long as she couldn't see the Emperor's sharp gaze, she would act as if nothing had happened.
Kangxi glared at Dulan, then bent down and gently kissed Haricana's lips, his eyes full of affection: "Wait for me to come back."
Li Dequan saw the Emperor come out and was happily walking over, but before he could say anything, he was kicked.
Li Dequan felt wronged, but dared not speak out. He stood there with his head down, waiting for the emperor to wrong him, but after waiting for a long time, he did not hear any cursing.
