Now that I'm old, I'm being suspected.
The emperor wasn't a fool; she had secret guards around her, and the servants who attended to her were all sent by the emperor himself.
If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Who knows which person she used has already sided with the emperor?
"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to die to prove my innocence."
Sumalagu has followed Bumbutai for so many years. Although she is a servant, she was once a servant who was highly respected by the emperor.
Now that she has fallen to this state because of her, she is utterly loyal. If the Empress Dowager needs her, then so be it, she should die.
Now, after death, the emperor might look back on those past events and bestow posthumous honors upon him.
Bumbutai felt a pang of unease. Had she guessed wrong?
"You can go now!"
Lost in her thoughts about getting rid of Harigana, she didn't notice the fleeting sadness in Sumalagu's eyes.
"Yes! This servant takes his leave!"
Decades of master-servant affection vanished without a trace in that instant.
Standing at the door, looking at the distant mountains, Su Ma felt that living here for the rest of her life wasn't so bad. At least in the eyes of the world, the Empress Dowager was praying for the country.
The capital city.
The capital has been bustling these past few days, with envoys arriving one after another, and even Tsarist Russia sending a prince.
"Xuan Ye, I've been wanting to ask you this for the past few days: with winter already here in the capital, what are they doing here?"
Shouldn't envoys only come on major holidays?
Or rather, it should be done when spring is in full bloom.
According to her estimate, it's almost freezing at night now, so what can they do here?
"Jiaojiao, the northern and western countries have had a poor harvest this year, while the Qing Dynasty has had a bumper harvest."
Kangxi only told half of what he meant, and although Harigana didn't quite believe him, he didn't ask any further questions.
We'll find out eventually, what's the rush?
"Oh! Okay, is there anything I can do for you?"
When envoys enter the palace, shouldn't there be a banquet or something?
Ugh! Another huge expense.
"No need, I will go to see the Empress Dowager tomorrow and let her handle this matter."
You just focus on taking care of the children, and spend more time with me at the Qianqing Palace when you have free time.
Harigana blinked at him and asked, "Are you sure Mother won't swear?"
Although she was only a Noble Consort, not the Empress, the Phoenix Seal was with her.
Holding the imperial seal but doing nothing, with the Empress Dowager always having to step in, isn't her position a bit too easy?
Moreover, since returning from the Summer Palace, Emperor Kangxi has completely waived the custom of paying respects to the emperor.
Except for holidays and festivals, the other women in the harem were to behave themselves and not disturb the Imperial Noble Consort's health regimen.
The Empress Dowager couldn't hide her disgust. She explained for a long time, but no one believed that it was Kangxi who was worried about her not getting enough rest, rather than that she couldn't get up.
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager refused to believe it no matter what.
She also said: "Having another one is not out of the question. I am in good health and can take care of you for another ten years or so without any problem."
"No, don't worry!"
Seeing his confident demeanor, she silently lit three candles for the Empress Dowager.
"Jiaojiao, after this period is over, I will take you out of the palace to see the capital in winter."
Last year you were pregnant and didn't have much fun, so this year I'll take you to see the sights properly.
Harigana naturally agreed, thinking that any opportunity to go out and have fun was a good one.
She wanted to see if there were any ways to make money in winter, as she was also thinking of opening a hot pot restaurant.
"good!"
Kangxi's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not say anything more.
I just want to see what kind of expression Harigana will have at that time.
The next day, after court, Emperor Kangxi went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and brought the child back with him.
"Baby, Beibei, did you miss Mommy?"
When Harigana woke up, he found two children beside him. Overjoyed, he sat up and kissed them on the left and right sides, completely ignoring Kangxi.
"Jiaojiao, over here!"
She looked up and saw his face leaning in. She gave him a reproachful glare, but still obediently leaned in and kissed him.
With a soft "smack," Kangxi's jealousy vanished instantly, and he happily spent some time playing with the child with her.
"Jiaojiao, I'm going to the Qianqing Palace. I haven't finished reviewing some memorials yet."
I might not be back for lunch, so don't miss your meal and don't be picky about food!
I don't know if she took it to heart. Although her head was nodding, her mind was entirely on her two children.
Kangxi was not angry. She couldn't hear, but there were others who could.
After going outside, he looked at Dulan standing at the door and said, "Take good care of your mistress. Don't let her eat only meat and not vegetables."
If I find that you are not taking good care of the child, I will revoke the token.
Dulan knelt on the ground, intending to say farewell to the Emperor, but before he could speak, Kangxi said a whole bunch of things.
I was furious!
