Prince Yu had done business with others before, but this was the first time he had encountered someone not looking at the accounts.
Harigana wasn't foolish enough to completely ignore it; the cake business was just beginning, and she had many more small businesses she wanted to pursue in the future.
This was just a test, since the ledgers can be copied.
If they really wanted to show it to her, they would definitely find a way to send it to the palace.
"Second brother, we're family, we believe in you!"
Prince Yu tightened his grip and then took back the account book: "Alright, Second Brother, keep it."
Although I haven't spent much time with Harigana, I've heard from my wife that he's a very carefree person.
We had lunch at Prince Yu's residence. The two brothers shared a small drink, but neither of them drank too much.
Harigana and Prince Yu's wife talked for a long time. While the two were drinking, they also took a stroll around Prince Kang's residence. The child was growing up very well.
It's just that Prince Kang isn't here; he said he went to the military camp outside the city. Otherwise, he would definitely have gone to Prince Yu's residence for drinks.
On the way back, Kangxi was very happy, even happier than when he was drinking in the palace that day.
"Jiaojiao, thank you so much!"
The man who had been sitting quietly to one side suddenly hugged her and said something inexplicably.
Harigana hugged his neck and gently patted his back: "Xuan Ye, you scared me to death!"
Kangxi chuckled and gently kissed her cheek: "Jiaojiao, I was wrong!"
"Hate!"
She leaned against him, playing with his braid in her hand, being very well-behaved.
Actually, she deliberately didn't ask, waiting for the man to finally confess what had just happened.
Sure enough, before long, Kangxi himself couldn't help but start talking to her about the candied fruit.
Harigana is truly amazing.
It's unexpected that there are such innocent people in the royal family. Even though Yinqi is doing well now, she is only taking things one step at a time. She will not let anyone off the hook until her son succeeds.
She's wary of even the man holding her right now, let alone anyone else.
"Xuan Ye, you are very, very good."
Because you are a good person, that's why your second brother treats you well.
Now that we know the reason, we can get along better from now on.
Let bygones be bygones; there's still a long future ahead.
There's still time.
Kangxi didn't speak, but simply held Harigana's hand tightly.
He thought, maybe it really is not too late.
However, it was only after meeting Jiaojiao that he realized his mistake.
Upon returning to the palace, Kangxi escorted his men to the entrance of Qingxi Palace before heading to Qianqing Palace to review memorials.
This morning at the imperial court, Dai Zi brought several experimental booklets for Emperor Kangxi to see, and also confirmed that he would bring his envoys to view them five days later.
Although they were all small countries inferior to the Qing Dynasty, they had to demonstrate their strength when the time came.
An anthill can destroy a mountain, and a small country should not be underestimated.
Of course, this was a little story from a picture book that Harigana had read, intentionally or unintentionally, told Emperor Kangxi during a chat, as a way of reminding him.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't take small countries seriously.
"Li Dequan, how are things going with the Empress Dowager?"
He put down his brush, pinched the bridge of his nose, and spoke with a weary tone.
Actually, before Harigana said those things, Kangxi had already asked Li Dequan to prepare things, but he just didn't tell her.
As for the personal items she mentioned, he had no intention of sending them over.
It wasn't that he was unfilial, but rather that the Empress Dowager had become so accustomed to supreme power and a life of luxury that she was momentarily unable to recognize who she was.
Since that's the case, let's live a simpler life for a while, and let her find the hardships she endured on the grasslands and in the harem of Emperor Mafa.
If her personality changes significantly in a year or two, then we can bring her back to the capital.
If nothing changes, then he should make an extra effort each year to visit her twice.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. Please rest assured."
Li Dequan was actually a little scared afterward.
When Dulan first told him about that incident, he was shocked, but later he felt that the Empress Dowager would not resort to such means to harm the imperial heir.
He still believed what Xiao Dulan said.
Mustering his courage, he finally found an opportunity and mumbled in a daze: "The days chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau are all auspicious, and no one will offend them."
The emperor was suspicious, and when he saw the emperor's eyes darken, he knew he had succeeded.
"Yes! Replace everyone except Su Ma. Warn those people to recognize who their master is."
"If you dare to make a mistake, I will execute your entire family, including your nine generations of relatives."
Li Dequan quickly replied, "Yes! This servant obeys!"
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand, leaving him alone in the imperial study.
Mount Wutai.
Bumbutai sat in the chair with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with sharpness and murderous intent.
Sumalagu looked at the furious Empress Dowager, her heart as still as water, without any ripples.
I've tried to persuade them, I've said everything I could think of, but this is how it ended up, and they still don't know how to repent.
In this sacred Buddhist site, she actually harbored murderous thoughts; I really don't know what she was thinking.
"Su Ma!"
Bumbutai looked at Sumalagu, who was standing silently to the side, with a cold expression.
"Your servant is here!"
Sumalagu met Bumbutai's gaze and felt that something was amiss.
"Only you know what I want to do."
Upon hearing this, Sumalagu looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief, then slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth, her heart filled with bitterness.
He followed the Empress Dowager since childhood, committing murder, arson, framing and harming others; he did everything for her.
