"Not bad, Third Brother, your composure is even better now."
Harigana sat up straight, his hand already inside his clothes, groping his chest.
How could she not know what Kangxi wanted to do? It's just a pity that, not to mention today, he hasn't been able to get what he wanted for the past five or six days.
"Let's eat first!"
Kangxi pulled her hand away, held her tightly in his arms to prevent her from moving, and then ordered Li Dequan to prepare the meal.
Harigana cooperated obediently throughout the entire process without any struggle, and didn't even utter a word of dissent when Kangxi asked her to eat more leafy green vegetables.
It wasn't until after I finished eating, rinsed my mouth, and was carried to bed that I heard, "Harigana, you did that on purpose!"
Those words were spoken with such a sense of grievance!
Combined with the snow outside, she was comparable to Dou E (a legendary figure known for her tragic love story).
"Third Brother, I forgot!"
She hugged the man's neck and acted coquettishly.
Fortunately, the charcoal fire inside the room kept it warm; otherwise, given their current condition, the two of them would have frozen to death.
"you,"
Kangxi wanted to say, "How could you possibly forget something like this? It must have been intentional."
It was his carelessness; he had been thinking about it just a few days ago, but he had completely forgotten about it.
Fortunately, it happened twice last night, otherwise he would have felt even more aggrieved.
However, as soon as he uttered the word "you," the hands that were wrapped around his neck moved to a different position.
"Um!"
My whole body was stiff; I hadn't felt this way in a long time. It was very exciting.
The exciting result was that it happened very quickly.
I managed to last half an hour yesterday, but now I can only manage a quarter of an hour!
The veins on his forehead hadn't been raised in a long time, and this time, the woman sitting to the side smirking made him not only furious, but more like he was about to explode.
"You just wait!"
He took a deep breath, picked up the trousers next to him, put them on, and walked to the side to clean himself.
Since the two of them started to enjoy playing pranks, there have always been two basins of water placed in the hall so that they can wipe themselves clean.
Seeing the angry man, Harigana didn't say much, raised his eyebrows, covered himself with the blanket, and sat on the bed without moving.
Sure enough, in just a few breaths, Kangxi returned with a dark face, carrying a washbasin and two handkerchiefs.
"Thank you, Third Brother."
She stretched out her hand and let Kangxi wipe it for her.
The stains didn't get on it; two handkerchiefs were enough.
Kangxi didn't say a word from beginning to end, and Harigana knew that he was angry at his own uselessness.
After wiping my hands, I took a clean pair of trousers and went to a corner to wash myself.
Seeing his brother's dejected state, Kangxi was so angry he wanted to scold him.
"Third brother, I'm cold."
Harigana, seeing that it was almost time, poked his head out and called for help.
"They're here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked to the bedside, looked at the woman trying to suppress her laughter, and sighed: "He needs to get used to it. He'll be fine after a few more times."
As he spoke, he lay down on the bed, reached out and pulled the person into his arms, covered them with a blanket, and coaxed them to sleep.
Harigana decided to stop now and deal with the rest later; in any case, she won this time.
Goodnight, Third Brother.
She tilted her head back and gently kissed his face, then closed her eyes to prepare for sleep.
Although they didn't put it into practice, their tense mental state and provocative actions were not far off from their physical actions.
"good evening."
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then gently patted her back. In less than fifteen minutes, he heard the soft snoring of the person in his arms.
Harigana doesn't snore very often; he only makes a slight sound when he's tired.
Emperor Kangxi loved listening to it and found it very cute.
So every time the two of them finished fooling around, he would coax her to sleep until he heard her soft snoring before he was satisfied.
I thought she wouldn't say anything today, but I unexpectedly overheard it.
Instantly, all his shyness and discomfort vanished.
So, it turns out she wasn't completely oblivious after all!
The next day, Kangxi got up earlier than usual.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, I first recorded everything that Harigana had said the day before, and then, after the morning court session, I would summon the six ministers, Prince Kang, and Prince Yu to discuss it in detail.
This matter should be handled promptly rather than delayed; it must be properly addressed in the next few days.
While he was busy with all this, Harigana's period ended, and he was still going out early and returning late.
It wasn't until two weeks later that everything was over.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
At the morning court session, Zhang Ying stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and held up the memorial in her hand high.
Li Dequan, at the behest of Emperor Kangxi, presented his memorial.
Kangxi glanced at it a few times, then left the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the two princes, Zhang Ying, and others to go to the Imperial Study.
"This is Zhang Ying's memorial to the throne. Please take a look."
In the Imperial Study, Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon throne and gestured to Li Dequan to take down the memorials for them to see.
Prince Kang took the document first, while Prince Yu beside him tilted his head and looked at it with him. Nalan Mingzhu on the other side also tilted his head to look at the memorial.
"Fortunately, His Majesty is wise and took precautions in advance, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to celebrate the New Year properly."
Only Prince Kang and Prince Yu knew that the advice to take precautions came from Harigana, and they knew it would be a short while before it was announced to the world.
With Yinfu about to inherit the throne, any rumors about his mother would definitely affect him.
Moreover, Harigana himself didn't care about these things, as long as Kangxi and Yinfu were well.
"Zhang Ying, I'm entrusting this matter to you. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War will cooperate with you to ensure that all the disaster victims are properly settled."
Zhang Ying and the others immediately knelt on the ground: "Your servants obey the decree."
Nalan Mingzhu raised an eyebrow. Since a decision had already been made, why call him, a person from the Ministry of Personnel, over?
Looking at Prince Kang and Prince Yu beside him, aren't the three of them a bit redundant?
"Zhang Ying, I remember your son Zhang Tingyu should be in his teens by now, right?"
The conversation suddenly changed, leaving the people present somewhat bewildered.
Zhang Ying, in particular, did not understand what Kangxi meant by those words.
"Your Majesty, my son is now sixteen years old."
Zhang Ying knelt on the ground and, in that short time, went through all the events of the past few days. She was certain that Zhang Tingyu had not done anything out of line.
Sixteen years old, what a good age.
Emperor Kangxi sighed softly, "Mingzhu, after the New Year, you should keep Zhang Tingyu by your side."
These words surprised not only Zhang Tingyu, but also the others.
Nalan Mingzhu is the Minister of Personnel, and those he mentors will definitely achieve great things in the future.
The officials in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War also had sons. Looking at Zhang Ying kneeling on the ground, they wondered what good deeds the Zhang family had done in their past lives that a sixteen-year-old child had actually caught the emperor's eye.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Nalan Mingzhu also knelt on the ground: "This servant will do his best to cultivate him."
Zhang Ying quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "This servant thanks Your Majesty."
Emperor Kangxi did not explain, but waved his hand to dismiss everyone. Only Prince Kang held onto Prince Yu, preventing him from leaving, and they stayed in the Qianqing Palace.
"Xuan Ye, tell your cousin, are you thinking of giving Bei Bei a husband?"
