If he leaves first, his beloved will be very sad.
Therefore, he needs to exercise hard and try to narrow the ten-year age gap between them.
Harigana was momentarily stunned, not expecting that Kangxi would think about things so many years into the future.
Perhaps Emperor Kangxi liked her even more than she imagined, but could this affection last a lifetime?
Even if it doesn't get worse over time, I'd be content to stay in this state for the rest of my life.
"Xuan Ye!"
She rushed into Kangxi's arms, the hot water bottle had already fallen to the ground, and its two owners were embracing each other tightly.
Smelling the ambergris on him, Harigana felt it had faded considerably, and instead, there was a hint of her own scent.
"Jiaojiao, be good!"
He held the person in his arms, wrapped her in his cloak, and gently kissed her forehead repeatedly.
"Xuan Ye, when I get old and can no longer walk, you must carry me on your back to see the Qing Dynasty's land, and you must grow old with only me."
In short, you belong to me alone.
Her hands were tightly clasped around Kangxi's waist, her cheek pressed against his chest, and her head tilted slightly back, so that only his chin could be seen.
"Okay! When the children are older, I will take you out to see the Qing Dynasty."
"You're too old to walk, so let's go together while we're still young."
If it were the Kangxi Emperor of the past, he might have been reluctant to give up the throne.
But now, his life is not just about the throne, not just about the Qing Dynasty; what occupies an even more important place is the person in his arms.
He wants to have another child next year, and if the baby isn't a good heir, then the younger one can take over.
In short, his throne could only be inherited by the children born to Harigana.
He knew how difficult childbirth was, but now it seemed that he had no son suitable to inherit the throne.
The eldest brother is straightforward by nature and truly has the talent of a general or minister.
The second son, the former crown prince, is now deposed.
I don't really know much about the third prince, but Consort Rong's personality is not suited to raising an emperor.
The fourth son is just like a fortune teller; he absolutely cannot become emperor.
The fifth prince needs to raise horses, and with the Khorchin tribe behind him, he would never agree to the fifth prince becoming emperor.
The sixth prince, the fourth prince's younger brother and the son of the Uya clan, could never become emperor.
The seventh son was born with a leg ailment, and even if he were intelligent and studious, he would never have the chance to become king.
The Eighth Prince was born through a concubine's incestuous relationship. He was a child born from the schemes of Consort Hui and Consort Liang. With a mother who had climbed into his bed, what good could he possibly learn?
So now, only Xiao Jiu is left.
"Xuan Ye, let's have another child in six months."
Kangxi held the person in his arms, pondering how to speak to Harigana, but unexpectedly she spoke first.
"Jiaojiao?"
He looked down at her in surprise, wondering if they were really so in sync.
“Xuan Ye, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m afraid that the baby will like to go to the battlefield and kill enemies, just like the eldest brother. That’s every boy’s dream, to become a great hero.”
As her mother, although I am worried and afraid, I do not want to interfere or stop her.
A true man should have his country and its people in his heart, especially a prince who enjoys the support of the people; he should do everything in his power for their sake.
Emperor Kangxi was incredibly satisfied with this; it was truly rare to have such a wonderful woman.
The baby and baby will be very happy in the future because their mother respects their choices.
"Jiaojiao, it's me,"
Harigana would cover his mouth and say, "I know you're worried about my health, but who told us that our family really has a throne to inherit? Since I'm taking you as my own, I have to give birth to a qualified crown prince for your Aisin Gioro clan."
Although whether I become emperor or not has little to do with me, and I won't benefit from it, I don't want to put you in a difficult position.
Don't worry, I will listen to you, I won't be picky about food, and I will follow the doctor's advice.
The last time was a bit difficult because of twins; you can't be so lucky every time.
Having had the experience before, I'm sure it will go much more smoothly than last time.
She released her hand from his mouth and said with a grin, "This time, with you here, with my two mothers here, and with Zhao Rongxi here, I definitely won't have to work as hard as last time."
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi held Harigana in his arms, and kept calling out the name "Jiaojiao" softly.
"Yes! I'm here!"
She secretly pinched his waist: "Xuan Ye, I, I'm not a fool. I can feel your sincerity. I can."
I was afraid before, afraid that you would not want me, that you would despise me.
I... I dare not. There are many things I dare not do!
Kangxi's heart clenched as he listened: "No, Jiaojiao, I can't."
I love you, I love you so much, so it won't happen, and it's impossible.
From now on, do whatever you want, say whatever you want, and I'll do everything I can. I'll give you everything I have.
Harigana nodded vigorously in his arms, his forehead bumping against his chest again and again, which Kangxi found very cute.
He looked down at the person in his arms. Although he couldn't see her eyes, he could still clearly see the corners of her lips that were turned up.
"Jiaojiao, there's tea in the pavilion ahead. Go and have some to warm yourself up."
After saying that, he picked up Harigana and walked towards the pavilion in the woods.
After Dulan and the others left, she jogged over to pick up the hot water bottle on the ground and wiped it for a long time. Seeing that she couldn't remove the stains, she turned around and stuffed it into Li Dequan's hand.
"Eunuch Li, please warm your hands!"
Li Dequan!!!
Do you think he's blind?
Although he is a little older, he is not yet at the point of having poor eyesight.
Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say that?
Looking resentfully at Dulan as she walked away, she was about to follow when she saw Xiao Li covering his mouth and laughing. She was so angry that she almost threw the hot water bottle at him.
Although it was a two-hall complex, Emperor Kangxi had it completely enclosed with gauze to prevent any drafts from getting in, and there was a large brazier in the middle, making it very warm.
"Jiaojiao, have a taste."
Harigana took the tea that Kangxi poured for her and took a small sip. Surprisingly, it had a faint peach blossom flavor.
Do you like it?
Seeing the sparkling look in her eyes, Kangxi assumed she would be very happy, but instead asked, "Xuanye, you're drinking peach blossom tea? Have you had it before?"
Harigana dared not drink anymore, and held the cup with both hands, using it as a hot water bottle.
"No! I had my servants pick them fresh."
When he said he hadn't drunk it, he almost couldn't keep his composure.
Who would dare drink this stuff!
