Looking down at the little girl nestled against his chest, he could not see her eyes, but he could still feel her sadness.
"Jiaojiao, are you still angry?"
Harigana bumped his forehead against him, then muttered softly, "What's the use of being angry? Are you going to kill all your women?"
Emperor Kangxi choked on his words; this girl was really ruthless these days.
She used to be a well-behaved girl, but after having a child, she suddenly became fierce.
However, he could only think about these things. He hadn't even managed to appease her yet, and if he said something wrong and angered her again, he probably wouldn't be able to hold her and sleep with her tonight.
She had finally waited for the two little ones to be born, and today was also the day she finished her postpartum confinement. She would regret it if she couldn't hold them while they slept.
Therefore, he should refrain from engaging in verbal sparring.
"Jiaojiao is so good!"
Harigana pouted: "So this is the emperor? What a coward. Where did all that bravado go when he was pointing at me and yelling at me?"
The sound was very soft, and the guards couldn't hear it, but Kangxi heard it clearly.
"My darling is so vengeful? What can I do to make you forget all that?"
Kangxi, recalling his previous disgraceful behavior, continued to coax him.
His hand moved from holding her neck to gently stroking her back, like coaxing a child, even his tone was indirect.
"I won't forget."
She said she couldn't forget him, but her hands were tightly gripping his waist, and she even nestled her head against his chest a couple of times.
The guards shook their heads. Their emperor looked exactly like a tyrant.
Kangxi's heart melted, especially from the little hands that were playing tricks on him, which made his body feel hot.
Although I might occasionally get a taste of her sweetness, or even use her soft, white hands, it's never as comfortable as actually touching her.
But remembering what Zhao Rongxi had said, he merely swallowed hard and refrained from carrying the person away.
"Can I have hot pot for dinner tonight?"
I'm so hungry for Harigana!
It turns out that eggs are always an essential item for postpartum women, no matter when.
When she was hospitalized, she heard other patients in the ward say they vomited after eating eggs, which she found strange. Now she knows it's true, it really can cause vomiting, and she doesn't even want to eat eggs anymore.
"Okay! But we can't eat anything too spicy right away, how about just a little bit of flavor?"
Emperor Kangxi had been living in Qingxi Palace. He had been eating postpartum meals with her for the first few days, but after a few days he couldn't take it anymore and almost collapsed.
He also secretly approached Zhao Rongxi and asked him if it was really okay to eat like this.
He still remembers Zhao Rongxi's indescribable expression.
These people are really spoiled. Relying on his darling to protect them, they all dare to secretly dislike him.
So now when Harigana asks for hot pot, he readily agrees.
Once I understood her feelings, I stopped trying to control her.
Just be careful when eating, don't overdo it, and be careful not to harm your health.
"good!"
While he was preparing the pot, Kangxi braided her hair. He liked how she looked so bright and well-behaved in her Mongolian robe with her hair braided.
Although my technique is still quite rusty, it's much better than it was at the beginning; at least I don't need anyone else's help anymore.
During the meal, Li Dequan received the interrogation results from the Censorate.
Emperor Kangxi did not want Harigana to know about those dirty tricks, so he sent Li Dequan directly to the Qianqing Palace. He was going to write an imperial edict to be read aloud at the morning court the next day.
He said he wouldn't let Harigana be controversial, and he would keep his word.
"Xuan Ye, will you be back very late?"
Harigana was a little sleepy. During her postpartum period, she would take naps whenever she had nothing to do, which completely messed up her biological clock.
Although she slept well in the afternoon, she felt sleepy again after eating and drinking her fill.
"Jiaojiao, you can't sleep right after eating. Let me go for a walk with you so you can digest your food before you go to sleep, okay?"
He's right, it wasn't easy for me to lose weight.
If she gains weight back from overeating, she'll be devastated.
"Alright, let's go to the Imperial Garden. It's been a long time since I've been there."
It's already June, and the weather is gradually warming up, which is perfect for going out.
Harigana's idea is quite good. He sweated a lot while eating hot pot, so going out for a walk now will help him cool down.
result! !
"Xuan Ye, I'm already out of confinement after giving birth, is this necessary?"
Who would wear a cape in June? It's not as hot as summer now, but it's still at least in the teens, right?
Not only did they change her into a thick Mongolian robe, they even gave her a cloak. She was lucky if she didn't sweat more than she could, let alone cool down.
"It's necessary. The imperial physician said that leaving the postpartum period just means you don't have to stay indoors anymore, not that you can be completely carefree."
Logically, you should have been on double confinement, but the imperial physician said that you only need to pay more attention to the last month and there's no need to restrict you.
"So," Kangxi said, tying her sash and half-embracing her, "you must behave, or I'll issue an edict making you have to stay in confinement for another month."
Harigana was helpless, but it was all for her own good. Let her be in the spotlight, she could just bear it.
Walking into the Imperial Garden and seeing the flowers in full bloom, I realized how quickly time flies.
When she first came to the Imperial Garden, some of the flowers had already begun to wither, but now she saw them in bud.
"Jiaojiao, do you remember what you said when you were building the snowman?"
Kangxi suddenly stopped, pulled her to his chest, and looked down at her.
Harigana shook her head. She said too much; who could remember it all?
“Jiaojiao, you said that if all that snow were used, the little eunuchs would save the trouble of going back and forth to irrigate in the spring, and then they wouldn’t need to use well water for irrigation.”
Kangxi only realized after saying "Harigana" that he had said something like that.
Seeing the bewildered look on the person in his arms, Kangxi stopped asking her questions. He reached out and pressed the fluffy little head against his chest, resting his chin on the top of her head, while his hand on her back was still playing with her hair.
"Jiaojiao, after hearing what you said, I had someone collect all the snow and separate the clean snow from the snow with sand."
Two days ago, they sent word that after collecting the snow, the roads in the capital were not as dirty as in previous years, and crops were even being irrigated directly with it. Well water levels were also not dropping as drastically as in previous years.
Kangxi's pride was obvious, as if he had obtained some great treasure.
Harigana's heart skipped a beat. It was already June, and the crops had begun to be planted. The seedlings that had been planted early had already sprouted, but not a single drop of rain had fallen yet.
What if it becomes a drought year?
She just gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. If they were to be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't the three of them become the target of public criticism?
