Harigana hadn't expected Kangxi's reaction to be so strong. Just as he was about to ask Li Dequan to fetch the imperial physician to examine the emperor, he heard Kangxi roar, "If you leave, don't even think about getting on my carriage again!"
In fact, if it were any couple, they would know that this was a sign of a tantrum, and the other person would just coax it and let it go. But with Harigana and Kangxi, this situation obviously cannot be handled with normal thinking.
Harigana, in particular, wished that Emperor Kangxi would stay away from her in the future.
At this time, Harigana did not know how important Kangxi's favor was. She thought that, like the concubines in the novel, as long as she stayed quietly in her own little corner, no one would cause trouble!
So when she heard the Emperor say this, she immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly not disturb you!"
Harigana was unaware that Kangxi had actually fallen in love at this point, or rather, that Kangxi was angry and felt that Harigana was pushing him towards someone else.
Completely forgetting his previous plan, he wanted Harigana to accept his women! Now that Harigana brought it up himself, Kangxi was genuinely angry!
"Get out! Get out of my sight!"
Harigana never expected Kangxi to say that. Despite the pain in her leg, she stood up and limped to open the door. Before the coachman could even react, she called out Dulan's name.
"Dulan, catch!" Then she jumped down gracefully.
"Jiaojiao!"
"Your Highness, Consort Chen!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Princess, your servant has arrived!"
Dulan reacted extremely quickly. Upon hearing Harigana's voice, he immediately reached out to catch Harigana, took two steps back, and then stood firmly on the ground.
"Harigana!"
The roar was heard not only by those near the imperial carriage, but also by the Tongjia clan, not to mention the Empress Dowager.
"Su Ma, what's wrong with the Emperor?"
The Empress Dowager opened her eyes. She was reciting the Rebirth Mantra, but Kangxi's voice was so loud that she had to stop.
Sumalagu shook her head. "Empress Dowager, shall I go and take a look?"
Bumbutai nodded, then changed his mind, saying, "Forget it, we don't need to go. We'll find out what happened later! Xuan Ye is angry right now, so let's not go and ask!"
"yes!"
Meanwhile, not far away, Lady Tongjia had a guess in her mind. She had sent someone to inquire about the matter of summoning the imperial physician, and now she saw Harigana walking towards her carriage. Although she did not know the specifics, she had a general idea.
"Min'er! As expected, a lowly person's life is just that of a lowly person. No matter what wealth and glory are given to them, they can't hold onto it."
Tongjia was happily playing with her nail guards. The wound on her palm had already been treated with medicine, and seeing the current situation, she felt no pain at all!
Kangxi's hand remained outstretched in mid-air. After confirming that no one was hurt, he immediately turned and went back into the carriage.
Li Dequan clicked his tongue inwardly, never expecting that this delicate and frail Consort Chen would actually inherit the temperament of a Mongolian girl at heart. Although the carriage wasn't moving fast, a slight misstep could easily result in a fall and injury.
Kangxi was furious, not only because Harigana didn't cherish herself, but also because she had just left him there alone and jumped out of the carriage to make room for another woman.
The prayer beads in his hand spun rapidly, and the more he tried to calm himself, the more things wouldn't go as planned.
"Li Dequan!"
"Your servant is here!"
Li Dequan walked to the window and waited for Kangxi's instructions.
"Go, bring Lady Borjigit to accompany me!"
Li Dequan was shocked. This Borjigit was a woman highly valued by the Empress Dowager. Although she was only a Noble Lady this time, she was indeed very beautiful. While she couldn't compare to Consort Chen's stunning beauty, she was still a rare beauty on the Khorchin grasslands.
But at such a critical juncture, isn't the Emperor afraid of trouble brewing in his own backyard by summoning this person to accompany him?
"What? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Kangxi roared, venting his pent-up anger on someone he didn't know who to direct it at. Li Dequan hadn't actually wasted any time; Kangxi simply wanted to vent his frustration by yelling. And Li Dequan, at that moment, seemed the most suitable person to do so!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant will go immediately!"
Li Dequan silently prayed that nothing else would happen! He hoped that Consort Chen was unaware of this matter.
But how could a mere servant like him keep it a secret? She was the first person the Emperor had sought out since Consort Chen. Not only was Borjigit very happy, but even the Empress Dowager sent Sumalagu on the way to explain to the girl some rules for serving the Emperor.
"Princess!"
Dulan glanced at Harigana furtively, her heart aching so much she almost cried. How could the Emperor do this? The princess had just alighted from her carriage, and he was already sending someone else to get on. How could the princess ever face anyone again?
"I'm fine!"
Harigana was indeed fine; Kangxi could follow whomever he wanted.
That shout just now was indeed embarrassing, and that Tongjia woman is probably laughing now, but that has nothing to do with her. Right now, she is leisurely looking at her sketchbook and eating dried fruit, feeling quite content.
