Harigana chuckled, never expecting that Kangxi would become increasingly shameless.
“Xuan Ye, other people’s research is their own, and giving it to me is also their way of showing their appreciation.”
Suppressing a laugh, I tilted my head to see what he would say.
Result: "Jiaojiao, then I'll go and study how they find the moon. Can they control the government?"
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and it was clear at a glance that she had guessed his little scheme.
She pinched him on the waist and turned her head away from him.
Kangxi looked at the back of her head, and from the side he could see the corners of her lips turned up, and he felt extremely pleased.
They arrived at Cining Palace quickly, where the Empress Dowager had already received the news and was waiting in the outer hall.
Seeing the family of four walk in, all dressed in bright red, I was filled with mixed emotions.
"Xuan Ye greets his grandmother."
Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager.
Greetings, Dama.
The four people stood side by side, each talking to themselves, and using different terms of address.
However, the Empress Dowager rarely showed a smile, and it wasn't the forced smile she had shown before, but a genuine one.
Because the baby and baby already had the jade pendants she gave them hanging around their waists.
"Get up, everyone, and sit down."
Granny Hu and Granny Su stood to one side holding the child, while Emperor Kangxi and Harigana sat below the Empress Dowager.
Logically speaking, Kangxi could sit next to Bumbutai because he was the emperor.
But he rarely sat on it because he respected this Empress Dowager very much.
Now that he has Harigana, he is even less likely to leave her alone down there.
"Grandmother, Jiaojiao said she wanted to thank you for the gifts you gave to the two children, so she thought of bringing them here to thank you."
With great tact, Granny Hu placed the baby she was holding on the ground. The baby, very understanding, took Beibei's hand and knelt before Bumbutai: "Thank you, Dama."
Beibei followed her brother's example and knelt on the ground, saying, "Dama! Thank you!"
She didn't speak to Harigana at all; with Kangxi beside her, she didn't need to say a word.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager's expression was too relaxed; she didn't want to reconcile and only wanted to be strangers.
You can forgive anyone, but you absolutely cannot forgive someone who wants to hurt her and her child.
The fact that they were able to coexist peacefully was all thanks to Emperor Kangxi.
"Granny Hu, quickly pick him up."
Bumbutai raised her hand, and Granny Hu and Granny Su quickly stepped forward to pick up the child: "Thank you, Empress Dowager."
"The two children are being raised very well!"
Whether he was speaking to Kangxi or to her, Harigana simply smiled slightly, then looked at Kangxi with a face full of surprise and amusement in his eyes.
Seeing her excited yet somewhat nervous appearance, Kangxi grasped her hand and said, "Grandmother, don't let her small stature fool you, you've raised your child very well."
The Empress Dowager also saw her appearance and saw how protective her grandson was of her. Although she felt a pang of sadness, she had no other thoughts.
"Yes! Your Majesty is very kind."
Harigana wanted to get up to express his gratitude, but Kangxi held him back, saying, "We're all family, no need to be so formal."
She turned her head to look at Bumbutai and realized that she wasn't angry, so she secretly glared at Kangxi.
Beibei had never seen Harigana bow to anyone before. Her little eyes darted around, but she didn't say anything.
I turned to look at the baby and noticed that he was expressionless. He was also imitating his older brother, staring at the three adults in front of him with a serious face.
Su Ma La Gu had been watching the two children the whole time, and she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw how cute Bei Bei was.
After leaving the Cining Palace, he sat in the sedan chair and nestled in Kangxi's arms, taking a deep breath.
"Hehe, Jiaojiao, don't be nervous, I'm always here, don't worry."
The reason why Emperor Kangxi resumed paying respects to the emperor was twofold: firstly, the Empress Dowager had changed her ways, and secondly, the Empress Dowager was present during the greetings, and she would take care of him during regular greetings.
Judging from her proud and arrogant demeanor just now, I thought she was really not afraid. I didn't expect her to be a little paper tiger. Now she has shown her true colors.
Fortunately, he came along. If he hadn't, I don't know how nervous I would have been.
"Mmm! I'm not nervous, no."
She sat up straight, refusing to admit it no matter what, but she kept looking at him, glancing left and right.
Kangxi didn't expose her, and reached out to hug her: "Jiaojiao, I had someone specially brew wine for you with a very low alcohol content. You can drink a little bit tonight, but only a little bit, not more."
Harigana stiffened, turned around and looked at him with unfriendly eyes: "What kind of bad idea are you plotting now?"
He muttered to himself, and then his face turned red.
"No, what could I possibly be thinking?"
"You've thrown everything away, what ideas do I have left?"
She looked at the serious-looking man with a hint of disbelief, then pouted and remained silent.
She doesn't want to drink. Alcohol tolerance might be something you're born with; you can get drunk just from eating a pastry. You definitely can't develop that tolerance later in life.
Outside the palace, Baoli Ri and Sai Ngiya saw off all the guests and collapsed onto the bed.
"Harigana is really favored. Don't you think we should do something about it?"
After turning around, Saenja looked at her husband beside her, feeling somewhat conflicted.
"His Majesty is preparing to send troops to attack the Dzungars. I was thinking about whether I should volunteer to go with Prince Kang and the others."
But then I thought about it and decided I couldn't go.
Seneja sat up and looked at him: "You want to go to war?"
"Yes, I was thinking about it before."
Baoliri stood up, walked to the table, poured two glasses of water, and handed one to Saienjiya: "I think if there were an Abu who had made contributions to the Qing Dynasty, the future of Harigana might be easier."
Then I thought about it, and realized that if I actually went, it would likely cause even bigger trouble.
Although Harigana was the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, I was once a leader, the leader of the Borchijin tribe.
If someone with ulterior motives uses this to make a fuss, or if something goes wrong in the war, I, as a person of the opposite sex, am easily targeted and suspected.
Who knows what rumors will circulate at that time, and it might even affect the future of the two children.
So this time, I can't go.
Saenjiya understood that Baoliri was worried because he was afraid of being framed and then having no way to defend himself.
Judging from the Emperor's intentions today, he seems to want to pass the throne to the baby.
His mother was originally a foreigner, and if there were another Guo Luoma Fa with ulterior motives, even if the emperor trusted Harigana, he would still have doubts.
"So what are your plans?"
Seneja placed the water glass in his hand, lay down on her side, and looked at him.
"Doing business is about making money. Although merchants aren't very well-regarded, you can't do without money."
Moreover, his identity as a businessman would put everyone at ease.
Seneja instantly understood what he meant by "don't worry".
Once something is discovered to be wrong, they can be investigated and dealt with directly, and their assets can be transferred to the national treasury, so there's no need to worry about them being out of control.
