I don't know how she got them, her hands were all black, and her face was covered in black too.
She herself was completely unaware, still writing diligently, not even noticing when he stood up.
Afraid of startling her, he coughed lightly, but Harigana only frowned and showed no sign of looking up.
"Jiaojiao!"
The volume was kept extremely low.
"ah?"
He looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Only when I looked up did I realize that my neck was a little stiff. I reached out to rub it, but Kangxi grabbed my hand as soon as I did.
"Jiaojiao, take a rest, I'll help you."
Suppressing a laugh, I took the calligraphy brush from her hand and put it aside, then led her to sit down beside me: "Don't you know how to rest for a while?"
Harigana felt that something was off about his expression; it was a half-smile, which made him feel uneasy.
"Xuan Ye, what's wrong?"
Kangxi did not speak, but raised her hand and placed it in front of her.
Looking at the dark, black hand, and remembering how he had just stopped him from slitting his throat, he instantly understood.
She quickly stood up and went into the inner room. Looking at the person in the bronze mirror, she thought that calling her a mud monkey was an understatement.
"Xuan Ye, hurry, hurry, have Dulan fetch water."
This is ink! My face is covered in ink. What if I can't wash it off?
Kangxi walked to the door and called Dulan to come in, but did not let her in. He took the basin and handkerchief from her and went inside to find Harigana.
Inside the room, Harigana was still struggling with the ink on his face. When he saw Harigana come in with a basin, Harigana quickly went over to wash his face.
"Jiaojiao!"
Seeing her rubbing her face vigorously, Kangxi pulled her hand to stop her from continuing.
Her originally fair cheeks were now bright red, and it looked painful.
"I'll help you!"
He took a handkerchief from the side and carefully wiped her face. Harigana stood in front of the mirror, pouting, and turned to look at herself every now and then.
The two people inside were struggling with the ink, while the two people outside quietly took a few steps back.
Why!
Li Dequan sighed inwardly.
The Emperor is really going too far. In broad daylight, he shows no restraint whatsoever.
Dulan also pouted, always feeling that Kangxi was like a hungry wolf who had never eaten meat, and wouldn't let go of her beautiful eldest princess.
Half an hour later.
Thanks to Kangxi's efforts, the ink on Harigana's face was finally wiped clean.
"Xuan Ye, you scared me to death."
Looking at the dark water and the handkerchief, he sat in the chair with a resentful expression.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Kangxi gently rubbed her head; her cheeks were still a little red, and he dared not pinch them again for fear of causing them to swell.
"I want to go back."
He stretched out his hand, gesturing for Kangxi to hold him.
This was the first time the child had clung to someone like this, so Kangxi was naturally delighted and carried the child back home.
After leaving the imperial study, Harigana buried herself in his arms, not letting anyone see her face.
Watching the two people walk away, Li Dequan rolled his eyes so hard they felt like they were going to explode.
Look how ashamed the Empress is; she can barely walk, and she must be exhausted.
Back at Qingxi Palace, Dulan finally noticed her swollen face.
"Your Majesty!"
"It's alright, you just got ink on your face. Go get some ice."
Dulan was stunned for a moment, then ran out with a blush on her face, leaving Harigana very puzzled.
It was only much later that she realized why Dulan's face was so red, but she couldn't bring herself to explain.
I felt relieved after applying ice to my face and then applying ointment.
"Jiaojiao, do you still want to write?"
Kangxi looked at the person sitting in front of the dressing table, put his hand on her shoulder, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Harigana turned around and pinched him on the waist: "Xuan Ye, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
I clearly saw that her face was dirty, but instead of telling her, I stared at it for a while.
"Jiaojiao, I was wrong!"
He quickly admitted his mistake, and Harigana couldn't say anything else, so he could only glare at people angrily.
The next few days were the happiest time for Kangxi, because he had beautiful women by his side to review memorials.
As long as I look up, I can see Harigana, and even boring memorials become interesting, and I can even read them faster.
May 18th was the day Prince Kang set off with his army.
This time, Harigana accompanied Emperor Kangxi to the city gate to see off the army.
As empress, she donated 100,000 taels of silver to fund the army, and Baoli donated 50,000 dan of grain. As a result, the soldiers knelt down to pay their respects when they saw her.
The scene was so grand that it made her feel like crying.
"Jiaojiao, you'll be back safely."
Holding the little girl with red eyes, Kangxi quickly comforted her.
Actually, if he wasn't afraid of worrying her, he would have wanted to lead the army in person.
However, I only had this idea and didn't dare to tell her, and Prince Kang also disagreed with it to the death.
"Um!"
Only after watching the army walk away did the two return.
Harigana has no worries about this war; with Dai Zi's firearms, victory is inevitable.
She was simply overwhelmed with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes on their own.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace with Kangxi, she lost all interest in writing and drawing, and nestled in his arms watching him review memorials.
"Your Majesty!"
Dulan's voice sounded somewhat urgent; Harigana had never heard her sound so anxious before.
"Come in!"
I stood up, a bad feeling creeping into my heart.
Emperor Kangxi put down his brush and waited for her to come in and reply.
"Your Highness, the little princess is injured."
"What?"
Harigana ignored Kangxi and jogged back to Qingxi Palace.
Kangxi followed behind, his face extremely gloomy.
Li Dequan had already learned the cause of the matter outside, and when he came out, he hurriedly reported the whole story to Emperor Kangxi.
"Why did those two end up together? And what was the wet nurse's job?"
Kangxi's face instantly turned ashen, and his voice became cold and stern.
"Your Majesty, Hai Ri just said that the little princess wanted to fly a kite in the Imperial Garden. The princes and princesses were playing very well at first, but then the little princess said she wanted to play hide-and-seek, so the princes coaxed her to play."
The Sixth Prince was also taken to the Imperial Garden by his wet nurse. Seeing that the others were having fun, he joined in and played too.
For some reason, they suddenly pushed the little princess, and before the servants could react, her head hit the ground.
Li Dequan inwardly groaned, thinking to himself, "What kind of mess is this?"
The Emperor adores the little princess the most; now the Sixth Prince is in for a rough time.
If it's just children arguing, that's fine, but if it's something Guo Luoluo said, the consequences could be unimaginable.
Kangxi and Harigana returned to Qingxi Palace one after the other. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they heard Beibei's heart-wrenching cries, which were heartbreaking to hear.
"Mother, it hurts!"
Upon seeing Harigana, Beibei reached out for a hug.
"Mommy's here, don't cry, don't cry, be good!"
Holding her daughter, she turned to look at Zhao Rongxi: "How is Beibei?"
I just heard Hai Ri's report on the way here, and even though I'm still angry, I can't let it out right now.
