The Imperial Observatory immediately knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, I am 80% certain! I am conducting observations tonight, and we will have a definitive result tomorrow."
Emperor Kangxi looked extremely excited and repeatedly said "good" three times.
Now it was impossible for Harigana to pretend he hadn't heard! After all, in his excitement, Kangxi actually grabbed Harigana's hand.
"emperor!"
Harigana looked over with a puzzled expression, and it wasn't an act; he was genuinely puzzled.
"I'll tell you tonight! You should look at the sketchbook first!"
Harigana was exasperated. Why was he grabbing her hand if he wasn't going to tell her? But with the Imperial Observatory present, she could only obediently nod and continue reading.
However, she probably couldn't concentrate on reading anymore, since she only had two hands; one was holding the sketchbook, and the other was being tightly gripped by Kangxi.
"Li Dequan!"
Kangxi steadied himself and then called out softly towards the outside of the carriage. A moment later, Li Dequan appeared inside the carriage.
The originally large imperial carriage suddenly became crowded.
"Your Majesty! Your servant is here!"
Li Dequan knelt on the ground, side by side with the Imperial Observatory.
"You will lead a team ahead of the Imperial Observatory and follow their orders. Once the campsite is determined, return and report back."
The Imperial Observatory and Li Dequan hurriedly accepted the decree: "Yes! Your servant obeys!" "Your humble servant obeys!"
After the two people left, Kangxi quickly picked her up and kissed her lips repeatedly and forcefully.
If it weren't for Harigana's shoulder injury, she would have been devoured by Kangxi without a trace.
"Hmm!"
Kangxi kissed her so earnestly that Harigana went limp in his arms. If the man hadn't been holding her neck and waist, she would have collapsed to the side.
"Jiaojiao! I'm so happy!"
Kangxi did not leave Harigana's lips; their lips would lightly touch as they spoke, creating an extremely ambiguous atmosphere.
Harigana was restless, not only because of Kangxi's kiss, but also because she felt the changes in his body. She dared not move an inch, for fear that she would bounce up and make things awkward for both of them.
"You've gone too far!"
Harigana's accusatory gaze, shimmering with a captivating light, only fueled Kangxi's growing passion. Her pitiful state only increased Kangxi's affection for her, even making him question whether he should have been so forceful in bullying her.
"It's my fault! Jiaojiao isn't wronged!"
Kangxi held the beauty in his arms, and even in his recent moment of passion, he still remembered to avoid touching Harigana's wound.
Harigana closed his eyes, leaned against Kangxi, and stopped talking, feeling that playing dead was the best option under the current circumstances!
“Jiaojiao, the Imperial Observatory just said that a person with extraordinary abilities will appear by my side. They said that there was something unusual about the Ziwei star yesterday, and they want to observe the celestial phenomena tonight. So they are asking for an imperial decree to find an excellent location to observe the celestial phenomena.”
Kangxi was so happy that he spoke somewhat incoherently, but Harigana still understood him. No wonder Kangxi was so happy; it was indeed a very joyful occasion.
Congratulations, Emperor Xuan Ye!
Harigana's voice was soft and gentle, but he was indeed happy for Kangxi.
"My darling!"
Kangxi was, after all, an emperor. Although he was still very happy, when the carriage stopped, he was exactly the same as before. It was impossible to tell that the person who had been so excited that he had pressed her down to kiss her was the same man in front of him.
Harigana walked slowly with Kangxi. At first, she would have been very embarrassed, but since she was injured, Kangxi spent all his time by Harigana's side except for matters of state.
So now, except for a few occasions, she has developed a very thick skin most of the time!
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
Emperor Kangxi had originally planned to take Harigana for a short trip around the area, but after a day's carriage ride, he was worried that she might feel unwell.
After the camp was settled, he called Physician Zhao over to take her pulse, as she had been acting very strangely these past few days!
But who would have thought that after taking only two steps, they would run into Lady Tongjia.
Kangxi subconsciously looked towards Harigana, and his feet involuntarily took two steps back. He had been walking alongside Harigana, but after those two steps, he was hiding behind Harigana.
Although Lady Tongjia was bowing to Emperor Kangxi, she couldn't discern the expressions on their faces, but even if she wanted to ignore their obvious footsteps, she couldn't find any reason to do so.
She felt as if her heart had instantly fallen into an ice cave. She used to be the most favored, so why has everything changed now!
Harigana had never been fond of anyone in Kangxi's harem, and this Tongjia woman had even drugged her before. Although she couldn't do anything about it now, she still felt quite pleased to see Kangxi's helpless actions.
But that's not enough; she won't suffer for nothing.
Thinking of the little story Su Rina told her yesterday while she was in the restroom, she was nervous but still wanted to give it a try.
"Your Majesty, since Consort Tong has something to discuss with you, I will not disturb you any longer! I take my leave!"
Harigana turned around, spoke very quickly, and gave a very large bow, during which he aggravated his wound and frowned tightly.
However, before Kangxi could react, she turned around and tried to leave.
[I'm so nervous, I hope he won't find out!]
Harigana's heart pounded; she had never done anything like this before. Whether it was out of jealousy or a genuine desire to leave, she wanted to test how much of Kangxi's recent pampering and indulgence would remain when he met other concubines.
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi was simply not in a hurry to react. Harigana's expressionless face just now made him feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing her frowning when she bowed made him even more heartbroken. She must have aggravated her wound!
In his haste, he instinctively called out Harigana's nickname, then grabbed her injured hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Listen to me! Don't move!"
The servants around dared not breathe loudly; such a scene was truly unprecedented!
Tongjia's face was beyond black; if she was heartbroken just now, she really wanted to faint right now to avoid making a fool of herself here.
Actually, it wasn't that Lady Tongjia wanted to see Emperor Kangxi this time; it was truly a chance encounter. But unexpectedly, the Emperor not only hasn't told her to rise and dispense with formalities, but he's even been gently coaxing that lowly woman from the Borchijin tribe!
If she were to faint in this situation, it would be even more humiliating than being ignored!
"you!"
Harigana was already nervous; this was her first time doing something like this, and she had no experience! But who would have thought that Kangxi would just hug her!
What should she do next? Su Rina hasn't continued teaching yet. Should she push him away and make a scene, or should she obediently snuggle in his arms and stay still?
