Consort Hui looked at Kangxi in shock: "Your Majesty, it was my mistake. You can't treat Yinti like this!"
Your Majesty, I have served you for so many years, you can't do this to me!
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
As Consort Hui was speaking, she tried to climb to Emperor Kangxi's side, but Li Dequan stopped her.
"Consort Hui, I will keep this imperial edict forever."
If the secret guards discover that you have any wicked intentions, I will immediately issue an edict.
"You want to be Empress Dowager? Let's see if you dare gamble your son's life and future!"
After Kangxi finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside: "Li Dequan, send her back, and send her a governess as well. Nala's character is flawed, and she needs to relearn the palace rules."
Consort Hui's heart turned cold instantly. She never expected that the Emperor would take such a cruel action before she had even had a thought and hadn't done anything about it.
As the emperor was about to leave the tent, Consort Hui suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, if the Imperial Noble Consort had done this, would you have issued such an imperial edict?"
Kangxi did not pause in his steps, and his voice was unusually firm: "The Imperial Noble Consort would not do such a foolish thing. In fact, I would like her to have such thoughts."
Even though Harigana said he liked him and loved him, sometimes he still felt uneasy.
There seemed to be nothing about him that Harigana could possibly covet.
Therefore, if she wanted to secure the throne for her child, she could at least ensure that she wouldn't leave.
Unfortunately, Harigana asks for nothing.
He didn't even have a reason to threaten him.
Fortunately, having two children allows him to keep her firmly by his side.
Consort Hui's heart sank into an icy abyss. Although she knew the Emperor favored the Imperial Noble Consort, she never imagined he would indulge her like this.
For a moment, whether out of envy or jealousy, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
As Kangxi walked out, he saw Yinti standing to one side and patted him on the head: "Don't overthink it, there is no imperial edict."
You are the Emperor's son, and that will never change.
Father Emperor sent you here to let you know that if you don't do this, your mother will not let it go.
If you have any questions in the future, you can ask your father anytime, and he will still answer them for you.
Also, visit your mother more often, and don't blame her.
I will not change her rank, and I will ensure she has no worries about food and clothing.
Yinti nodded. Although he was a bit slow-witted, he wasn't stupid.
When Kangxi said he would demote him to a commoner, he did panic for a moment.
But remembering what Li Dequan had said when he stood there with him, he forced himself to resist the urge to go in and plead for mercy.
He knew that his father had used an imperial edict to grant him his future freedom.
"Father, thank you!"
Yinti knelt on the ground, his eyes red-rimmed.
He didn't regret going to see Emperor Kangxi yesterday, and even though his mother was scolded today, he still didn't regret it.
He vividly remembered the fate of Consort De and did not want to be a child without a mother.
It's not a done deal yet, so she still has a sliver of hope. But if there's any actual action, not only her mother but also Lady Nara will suffer.
"It's good that you understand in your heart. Father Emperor won't write this imperial edict, so there's no need to worry."
Go see your mother later. Li Dequan has already shown me the names of several people.
After lunch, go and see those people. If you like one of them, then take him as your master.
From now on, I must study hard. If I want to do something, I must work hard and do my best to do it well.
Within half a quarter of an hour, even the stable officer heard the news that Consort Hui had fainted and been sent back.
Many people were puzzled by the reason, after all, she was very well-behaved, and it was the emperor who took the initiative to call her over, rather than her approaching on her own.
This commotion immediately silenced the concubines who had come with them, who began to think back to what they had said or done during this time.
I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing there.
Harigana listened to Kangxi's words and looked at him with a complicated expression.
I never expected him to use such a method to punish Consort Hui, and she actually believed it.
With a mind like that, she still wants to fight for the throne with her silly son. I don't know if she's just being delusional or too confident in herself.
That was an imperial edict. Since it was written, unless it was about establishing an heir or was related to the throne, how could it not be promulgated after being written?
"Jiaojiao, why are you looking at me like that?"
Kangxi picked up Harigana, and the two looked at each other. He was sure he wasn't mistaken; the look in Harigana's eyes was indeed one of disdain.
"Xuan Ye! I've discovered you're really cunning now, you've actually lied to people!"
Harigana hugged his neck and then kissed his shaved head: "But I love it!"
Kangxi was delighted by the warm, wet kiss on his head, especially when she said she liked it, making him even happier and completely forgetting the word "dislike" he had just been thinking about.
"But is Yinti really alright?"
Have you explained it clearly to him? The child is young; won't he overthink it?
The things Consort Hui said were quite harsh. What if Yinqi takes them to heart and uses them against her later?
If he grows up to be crooked, wouldn't that be creating enemies for his son?
"No, I've already explained it to him."
I'll ask him to come and take a look again after some time.
Don't worry, it won't hurt his feelings.
Harigana nodded and did not continue talking about it.
Kangxi felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that the woman in his arms was just being stubborn, saying she wouldn't have anything to do with his sons, but in reality she still cared about them.
The more I think about it, the more I like it.
The Empress Dowager was worried that something might have gone wrong with Consort Hui, so she sent someone to summon Harigana. After hearing her explanation, Harigana's face immediately showed a complicated expression.
"You two really are a couple!"
The Empress Dowager's disdain shifted to Harigana: "The Emperor is becoming more and more capricious, and you've followed suit and become bad too."
Harigana pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed that he disagreed.
The day before setting off from Mulan Hunting Grounds, Emperor Kangxi specifically sought out Yinti to ask him how he was doing lately.
"Your Majesty, my son's archery and horsemanship are already very good. His master said he has made great progress."
After that incident, Yinti seemed to have matured a lot, and he no longer spoke in such a dull and dazed manner.
"I have already asked your master, and he has indeed made great progress."
However, Father Emperor isn't asking you that. He's asking if there's anything you're struggling with lately that you need Father Emperor's guidance on.
Yinti's eyes lit up, and he swallowed hard: "Father, may I have another roast lamb?"
"My son will go hunting by himself. Could you have Father Emperor's cook prepare a meal for him then?"
Kangxi said that Yinti was a fool and wanted to curse him, but Harigana said that cursing was not allowed, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Get out! Get out! I'm looking for Li Dequan!"
"Thank you, Father Emperor!"
Yinti left with great interest, but the light in his eyes only disappeared when he was in the woods and no one else was around.
