“Beautiful princess, this is absolutely true. It was told by the maid who sweeps the small garden. Her own sister works in that person's palace, so I guarantee she's not lying.”
It is said that she even asked Aunt Su Ma to get a lot of mugwort leaves, hoping to remove the bitter smell from her body.
After Dulan finished speaking, he sat up straight, picked up the melon seeds on the table again, and slowly cracked them open.
Harigana recalled the Empress Dowager's expression that day; it turned out that it wasn't just because she saw her and the child, but also because Zhao Rongxi had played a part.
This is a great thing. Even if Zhao Rongxi didn't do it on purpose, she's still happy.
In short, she is happy as long as her enemies are unhappy and miserable.
"Dulan!" Harigana thought for a moment. Since they had already broken off relations, she would really feel bad if she didn't make things difficult for that old woman.
"I remember there's still some dried meat that Mother sent. In a little while, have Xiao Li go to the Imperial Hospital and tell him that I'm giving it to Zhao Rongxi as a token of my gratitude."
Dulan's eyes lit up. She knew that her eldest princess was not the type to suffer a loss. She had stayed obediently in Qingxi Palace before only because she was pregnant.
"Yes, Your Highness, this servant will go right away!"
Harigana nodded, and after Dulan left, he took a sip of tea, picked up a sketchbook, and started looking at it while eating melon seeds.
Things can't be kept secret in the palace, let alone Harigana, who had no intention of hiding anything at all.
At the Cining Palace, Bumbutai's face turned green.
"Suma! I told you that that Borjigit wretch is no good person, but no one believed me."
Sumalagu was helpless; what could she say?
It's perfectly reasonable for someone to give the imperial physician a piece of meat, regardless of the reason.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager is far too sensitive. Given her personality, she would never know the situation at Cining Palace. It must be a mere coincidence.
But once someone gets stuck in a rut, nothing can pull them back, and her advice was even less effective.
"You vile woman, you're deliberately going against me. How dare you laugh at me! You deserve to die."
Bumbutai ignored Sumalagu's reply and muttered curses at Harigana to himself.
In Qingxi Palace, Emperor Kangxi was initially somewhat envious of the person leisurely looking at the drawing book.
He spent half a day pretending to be a snake with people in the Qianqing Palace, but his beloved concubine was enjoying such a leisurely life in the Qingxi Palace.
For a moment, he wished that the little brat, who was just a month old, would grow up quickly so that he could also live a leisurely life with Harigana.
I had just had this idea when I heard...
"Achoo! Achoo!"
First, think; second, scold; third, catch a cold!
Someone is definitely criticizing her!
Harigana was about to rub her nose with a handkerchief when suddenly a hand reached out and took the handkerchief away.
"ah!"
A loud shout.
Emperor Kangxi was so frightened that he stood there stunned. Was he really that scary?
"Xuan Ye, you scared me to death!"
Seeing that it was Emperor Kangxi standing beside her, Harigana stood up and clung to him, biting his shoulder hard to vent her dissatisfaction.
It was said to be fierce, but it only caused a slight stinging pain.
When Kangxi saw her stand up, he instinctively wanted to run away, and he felt he was going to get beaten again.
But seeing her angry expression, I felt like my legs were made of lead and dared not move, afraid of making her even angrier.
As soon as her legs wrapped around his waist, Kangxi immediately supported her buttocks to prevent her from slipping to the ground.
"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I was wrong."
Seeing the woman's eyes welling up with tears, Kangxi began to apologize again.
He doesn't even know how many times he says "I was wrong" every day now. From his initial clumsiness to his current ability to blurt it out at any time, Kangxi has completely lost his imperial dignity in front of Harigana.
Harigana was indeed frightened, but more so because he felt guilty.
She had just challenged the Empress Dowager when she sneezed. Just as she was about to mutter a curse at the old woman, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her; no wonder she was terrified.
No matter how fiercely the grandfather and grandson are arguing, even if it's because of her, she can't really get involved.
"Xuan Ye, you're so annoying!"
She tried to pull her leg back from his waist, only to realize that Kangxi was actually dragging her buttocks.
Her palms were very hot; she felt as if that area was on fire.
"Jiaojiao, are you feeling better?"
Kangxi carried her back to the soft couch, changing his posture from supporting her to holding her, just like when coaxing a child to sleep, supporting her with one hand.
"Hmm! Much better. Don't scare me like that again."
Harigana blushed, but the person holding her didn't seem to mind. If she let her hands out, she might get punished, so it was best for her to let him hold her obediently.
A sly glint flashed in Kangxi's eyes as he gently stroked the fleshy part of his body with his hand.
"Okay! I won't scare you anymore. Jiaojiao, shall we call a royal physician to take a look at you and see if you've caught a cold?"
She just finished her postpartum confinement period. If she accidentally catches a cold, she should take medicine to adjust her condition promptly.
Harigana shook her head. She wasn't made of glass; she wasn't that delicate.
"My nose was just itchy, it's nothing, don't worry. I'll definitely tell you if I'm really uncomfortable, don't worry."
Kangxi leaned forward and touched her forehead with the corner of his mouth to check her temperature. Only after confirming that she did not have a fever did he feel relieved.
"We don't need to call the imperial physician. Let Granny Su or Granny Hu take your pulse so I can feel more at ease, okay?"
It's always good to be cautious. If it's a minor problem, Su Rina and Granny Hu will definitely point it out.
"good!"
Harigana followed him.
There was nothing wrong with the person, which made her even more convinced that it was that old woman who was cursing her.
However, she was also quite happy. If her guess was true, it would prove that she had done the right thing and that the old woman was angry.
The next morning, after Kangxi left, Harigana summoned two women, Hu and Su.
"Your Majesty!"
The two were completely bewildered. Normally, the two of them wouldn't appear at the same time; at least one of them would stay by the side of the two young masters.
"Granny Hu, Granny Su, I'll keep this brief. I've called you here to give you a few instructions."
Harigana wasn't stupid; he wouldn't provoke the Empress Dowager without any protection. He had already made up his mind when Kangxi went to the Qianqing Palace.
Therefore, what I say next will not arouse any suspicion, regardless of whether Kangxi knows it or not.
"We've packed our things these past few days, and we're going to stay at the Qianqing Palace for a while."
Although the items from the Qing Dynasty palace are all top-notch, the baby and infant may not be used to a different environment, so you must take extra precautions. If anything seems amiss, please tell me immediately.
Also, those wet nurses and anyone or anything that can come into contact with them must be kept very close watch; absolutely no problems can be allowed to occur.
The only people I've ever trusted are you all; please pay close attention to them.
Although the two women did not know what Harigana was thinking, the seriousness in his words made them instantly wary.
"Your Majesty, rest assured!"
Standing by the window, gazing at the blue sky outside, my eyes were vacant.
It seems a palace intrigue is about to begin.
