"Okay, I understand."
Harigana responded, then reluctantly hugged his neck and said sourly, "I allow you to be sad, but you can't let me see it."
Emperor Kangxi was amused by her words.
He held her and gently stroked her back: "Jiaojiao, to be honest, it would be a lie to say I'm not in pain. I don't want to lie to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the hand holding him paused, and then she felt the grip tighten a little.
"Yes, I understand. People can't come back to life. You, you, you should try to accept it."
Her voice was muffled, and even though she was jealous, she was still comforting him. Kangxi's heart was immediately filled with her kindness.
"Jiaojiao, my distress is not due to romantic feelings."
I told you before that I had never liked anyone before you.
But Lady Tongjia was not only a former imperial concubine, but also my cousin.
I just feel it's a pity that someone at such a young age would be so foolish.
That's all I'm thinking about, don't overthink it.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he picked her up and sat her on the stool: "Jiaojiao, today is your coronation ceremony, and I don't want anyone to ruin it."
So when I learned of this news this morning, I sent Li Dequan to the Tong residence. No one knows about this matter yet, so I asked Tong Guowei to postpone the news for three days.
Furthermore, I decided to bestow upon her the posthumous honor of Imperial Noble Consort without consulting you.
Harigana nodded repeatedly. Why would she bother arguing with a dead man?
So what if she's an Imperial Noble Consort? Emperor Kangxi had two Empresses too.
“Yes, it is possible. Tongjia is your cousin. Even if she is posthumously honored as Empress, I, I agree.”
She bit her lip and whispered something.
Seeing her resigned appearance, Kangxi tightened his grip on her. He was clearly very sad, but he still spoke up.
"Jiaojiao, no, it won't happen."
I can't change what happened before, but from now on, you're the only one for me.
After saying that, he gently kissed her red lips, preventing her from biting any further.
Harigana knew he wouldn't; if he were to posthumously confer the title, she could sharpen her knife and kill him.
The coronation ceremony wasn't even over yet. If Kangxi really agreed to posthumously confer the title of Empress on Tongjia, where would she put her face?
"Hmm!"
He gently pushed Kangxi without using much force.
“Xuan, mouth, Xuan Ye, mouth, lip rouge.”
She had put some lip rouge on her lips, and Kangxi kissed her so hard that not only would her lips be red, but it must have also gotten on her face.
"Just wash it!"
Harigana was released, but his expression seemed to have become much more profound.
I don't know why, but I always feel that Kangxi must have come up with some new tricks, and her waist is no longer secure.
"I'm going to wash up, right now!"
She slid off him, covered her face, and tried to leave.
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi swept her up in his arms, turned her around and placed her on the dressing table: "Wait for me, don't go out."
The bright red lipstick smeared on her face, making her look quite alluring.
I absolutely cannot let anyone see me like this.
"Xuan Ye, your face!"
Harigana pulled the man who wanted to leave, saying, "Let Dulan bring in water. Nobody should go out."
After messing around for a while, I finally got my face clean.
She was really clean; Kangxi had wiped away all the light makeup on her face.
Fortunately, what they're doing now isn't cheap or half-hearted, otherwise they'd both have to attend the banquet with red faces.
Because of this commotion, the two of them arrived at the banquet hall a little later than expected.
The palace banquet went smoothly, and no one caused any further trouble.
Even the troublemaker Isa behaved herself and didn't dare to look at Harigana with strange eyes anymore.
However, this does not include Consort Yi.
With the palace banquet over, Harigana's position as queen is now secure.
The banquet was lively, but the Tong residence was unusually quiet, so quiet that even the gatekeepers dared not move.
After Li Dequan left, Tong Guowei kicked Madam Tong to the ground, saying, "You slut, how could I have been so blind as to marry someone like you?"
Still not satisfied, she went up and kicked him twice more. Fortunately, she was mindful of the consequences, as the matriarch would be criticized for staring at her daughter's bruised and battered face at the funeral three days later. So, she always kicked him in a hidden spot.
"Tong, Tong Guowei, how dare you!"
Madam Tong remained stubborn, still unable to understand the source of Tong Guowei's anger even at this point.
Tong Guowei didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he called the housekeeper, covered his mouth, and locked him in the hospital.
In Yikun Palace, Consort Yi wanted to vent her anger, but looking at the room full of bronze utensils, she didn't know how to do so.
Those things aren't broken, but they make an unusually loud clanging and banging noise.
She thought that Xiao Wu was clearly her son, but he called her "Empress Mother" so affectionately, even more affectionately than he did to her, his own mother.
What a despicable tactic! Taking advantage of her confinement, they actually bribed her son.
Was the Emperor drugged by her?
Why would he love such a vicious woman so much?
Xiao Wu is the child she risked her life to give birth to; he is her guarantee for when she gets old!
Even if she is incompetent, can a concubine with a son be the same as one without a son?
Furthermore, the Emperor actually ordered that wretched woman's father to teach Xiao Wu horsemanship and archery. Have all the members of the Guo Luo Luo clan died out?
Why look for that bitch's father? Why is Xiao Wu so close to them?
The Empress Dowager, it must be the Empress Dowager!
Consort Yi was in a state of panic and wanted to talk to someone, but Xi'er had been driven away by the Emperor, and she didn't even have anyone to confide in.
"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has arrived!"
Consort Yi's face immediately darkened. She had come at just the right time!
"Mother, your son greets you!"
Xiao Wu was initially quite happy, as his mother could now come and go as she pleased, no longer confined to this courtyard.
But seeing her gloomy face, I subconsciously took two steps back.
These past few days, he has been going to Baoli Ri with his younger siblings. The Empress Dowager said that although he is still young and learning riding and archery is a bit early, it is also important to cultivate their relationship in advance.
In fact, the Empress Dowager wanted to provide Xiao Wu with security, cultivating a relationship was a genuine desire, and she also genuinely wanted him to have a more stable future.
Having grown accustomed to the gentle and pleasant demeanor of Baoli Ri and his men, they were naturally terrified upon seeing Consort Yi's face.
Moreover, he was already somewhat dissatisfied because Consort Yi had spoken ill of the Empress Dowager.
"Come here! What are you afraid of? I am your mother, the one who gave birth to you. What are you afraid of me for?"
Xiao Wu walked forward with a wronged look on her face, thinking that the matter was over, but as soon as she got in front of him, she was poked on the forehead.
Caught off guard, he stumbled a couple of steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Waaaaah!"
Yinqi, who had never been treated like this before, was startled and burst into tears.
