Kangxi was feeling quite uncomfortable. His nose was filled with the sweet scent of a girl, and the soft touch on his forehead almost made him lose control.
"Put me down right now!"
After Kangxi left, Harigana realized that she had just taken the opportunity to yank his braid hard.
"Princess!"
Dulan came in with a long face. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was really shameless! Not only did he always resort to sneak attacks, but he also acted like a lecherous thief, appearing and disappearing like a ghost!
Harigana was now filled with lingering fear; she wasn't a modern person who had just arrived in ancient times and had the idea of changing the world.
She did find it difficult to adapt after arriving in the Qing Dynasty, but after so many years, even though she herself was not a person who would kill, she knew the difference between master and servant.
Although she didn't want to admit that she was a servant, she had to face reality!
Fortunately, Kangxi didn't sense it just now, otherwise, according to the rules of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, she would probably have gone to find the original owner of the body by now and was riding a horse with her and the stable boy!
"You can go now! Don't tell Mother and the others about this. I'll tell them myself when I have the chance!"
After saying this, Harigana went back to bed. She never imagined that one day she would get married, and to a man with many women! He needed time to process this fact.
Dulan responded without saying anything more. She thought the princess must be very sad right now and wanted to be alone for a while.
Harigana had originally planned to skip the evening bonfire. However, Li Dequan came over carrying a tray covered with a red cloth to deliver an imperial edict.
"Second Princess, these are the clothes His Majesty prepared for you. He said he's waiting for you to come over tonight!"
Li Dequan hadn't tried to hide it, so even though it was evening, someone still saw it. Before long, the news spread like wildfire, reaching everyone's ears.
After taking the tray, Dulan secretly rolled her eyes at Li Dequan. This guy always covered her mouth, so annoying!
Li Dequan noticed Dulan's little scheme, but he didn't mind. After all, his own emperor was acting like a scoundrel! There was nothing he could do; he had to stand with the emperor through thick and thin!
"Dulan!"
Harigana gave Dulan a look, and the latter pursed his lips, but when he looked up, his expression turned into a beaming smile. He took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it over.
Li Dequan!!!
Who gave the silver note as a reward? It was a one-hundred-tael silver note.
Moreover, this little girl's expression changed incredibly quickly; in the blink of an eye, she went from rolling her eyes to flashing a bright and radiant smile.
"Thank you, Princess!"
The silver notes that Li Dequan's subordinate Dulan slipped into his hand were to be reported to the Emperor later, so that the Emperor wouldn't find out about the past.
Li Dequan wouldn't be so careful with anyone else, but this person's future is immeasurable, so it's best for him to be cautious in serving him.
After seeing Li Dequan off, Harigana sat on the stool, fuming, and took a deep breath while looking at the red tray.
"Give it to me! I'll try it!"
When Sengiya heard the servant's report, she initially wanted to ask Harigana, but in the end, she decided to let her make the decision herself.
Now that Harigana is going to Beijing is a done deal, anything she says is superfluous.
Whether you offer comfort or not makes no difference; ultimately, it's because they are not strong enough and lack the ability to protect their children.
At four quarters past the hour of You (5:45 PM), the sky finally began to darken, the campfire was already burning brightly, and various dairy products, as well as hand-pulled mutton, milk tea, and other food were prepared.
Not far away, on a high platform, were three small low tables. The largest one belonged to Emperor Kangxi, and to his left was the Grand Empress Dowager, with the Empress Dowager sitting below her.
Next to the high platform were the concubines, including Lady Tongjia, followed by the officials and their families who had come from the capital.
Opposite the concubines were various tribes from the grasslands, arranged in a row according to their relationship with Kangxi. Sitting at the front were the people of the Khorchin, who were also the maternal family of Bumbutai, followed by the Empress Dowager's family.
But to everyone's surprise, the third one was actually the Borchijin tribe.
Those who were already gossiping because of Li Dequan's swaggering delivery of gifts are now even more certain that their Borchijin tribe is about to produce a golden phoenix that flies out of the grasslands!
Seeing the young woman sitting next to Seingiya only confirmed their suspicions. Now they understood why the Emperor had stationed the Borchijin tribe near the Imperial Tent, but they didn't know when they had become involved with the Emperor!
When Harigana was hospitalized in her past life, she was always surrounded by people, and she had become accustomed to being stared at.
But just because she was used to it didn't mean that Emperor Kangxi was willing.
Watching Harigana instantly become the center of attention, he felt a pang of sadness. This feeling was even more painful than when his devoted father had given birth to his first child while he was battling smallpox.
However, he has not yet decided on Harigana's rank, so he cannot allow her to come up and accompany him in public for the time being.
After all, the imperial decree has not been issued yet. If she were to come up and accompany him, it would be bad if unpleasant things were to get out!
Thinking of this, Kangxi became lost in thought, calculating Harigana's rank in his mind.
The rank of Consort seems too low, while the rank of Imperial Concubine seems too high, especially considering she is a childless consort. Even if he likes her, he can't violate ancestral rules by bestowing upon her the title of Consort!
The Empress Dowager originally planned to meet with Harigana tomorrow, because in her heart Kangxi was the best, and anyone with a brain would agree to come to the capital with him.
But upon seeing such a beautiful girl, the Empress Dowager instantly changed her mind; such a woman absolutely could not enter the palace.
The matter concerning Fulin was already due to her oversight; she had lost one son, and she absolutely could not lose another grandson.
She glanced sharply in the direction of Harigana, but that one glance was caught by Tongjia!
[I never expected this! It turns out the Empress Dowager doesn't like that vixen. This makes things much easier!] Tongjia thought to herself.
Although Tongjia and Harigana were not facing each other directly, Tongjia's appearance could still be clearly seen.
Upon seeing the younger and more radiant girl, she nearly tore the handkerchief in her hand to shreds.
Fortunately, it seems that she is not the only one who is worried. Even the Empress Dowager, who is devoted to the Khorchin and the Mongol tribes, disagrees. Now we can proceed with the plan with peace of mind!
Even if the Empress Dowager finds out about this later, she will not only not reprimand her, but will definitely clean up the mess.
