Kangxi felt a little uneasy; it seemed as if Harigana had returned to its former state.
I've returned to that time when I didn't dare to reveal my true feelings, that time when I was respectful and humble towards myself!
"Leave one lamp on, you can go now!"
After Harigana and Dulan finished making the bed, they told her to leave. Who knew if Kangxi would punish her later? It was better to keep her away from trouble!
Although Dulan was a little worried, she obediently withdrew!
"Yes! This servant obeys!"
"It's nothing!"
Harigana looked at Dulan's worried eyes, offered a word of comfort, and then gave her a look.
Dulan understood instantly, but her face still showed worry!
Lying in bed, thinking about what had happened that night, she made a new decision!
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi stood by the bed, wanting to say something, but anything he said would only be an excuse!
Harigana wasn't pretending to be asleep. When she opened her eyes and saw him standing by the bed, she quickly got up to help him change his clothes.
"emperor!"
Kangxi held Harigana's hand, his eyes red.
Even so, she still did not soften her heart.
"Your Majesty, I will help you change your clothes!" she said, trying to pull her hand away, but Kangxi held it tightly.
"Jiaojiao! Why do you call me Emperor! Why not Xuan Ye!"
Harigana looked at the man who was trying to shift the blame, and chuckled softly: "Your Majesty, I've come to understand a principle tonight, but I guess you don't want to hear it, so it's best not to say it!"
Kangxi wanted to hug her, but as soon as he reached out, Harigana dodged him. In just a moment, however, she moved closer to his chest!
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi sensed the change that had occurred just moments before.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You have to attend the morning court session tomorrow, so please get some rest!"
Harigana's voice was very soft; it was unclear whether he was advising Kangxi or himself.
Kangxi had no choice but to lie down on the bed as she suggested!
"Jiaojiao, let me explain!"
The two lay quietly for a while, but the person in his arms was so stiff that it was hard for him to ignore them!
He withdrew his hand, sat up, and wanted to explain himself, but Harigana was too sleepy to keep his eyes open!
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Despite his drowsiness, Harigana, with his protruding belly, tried to sit up, but Kangxi pressed him down.
"Lie down properly!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I obey!" After saying that, she lay back down, very obediently.
Emperor Kangxi was furious and went up to her and shut her up, but she didn't react at all!
He had no other choice but to let go of the person in his arms.
"Your Majesty, do you still want more? If not, I am truly sleepy!"
These words infuriated Emperor Kangxi to the extreme!
"Harigana, haven't I told you that if you have something to say, you should say it, don't hold it in!"
Upon hearing this, not only was Emperor Kangxi stunned, but Harigana's "sleepiness" also vanished!
Struggling to sit up, he knelt before Kangxi, his head bowed low.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and beg for punishment!"
Kangxi was heartbroken. He was just used to yelling like that when he was angry, not that he wanted to scold her!
Seeing Harigana's sad expression, he felt even more annoyed with himself!
"Jiaojiao, I was wrong. I didn't mean to scold you! Can you talk to me properly for a while and not treat me like this!"
Kangxi wanted to pick him up, but Harigana reached out to stop him, raised his head, and straightened his back.
"Your Majesty is too kind. I was somewhat ignorant and presumptuous before. I now apologize for my rash behavior! From now on, I will strictly abide by the palace rules and will never cause Your Majesty any trouble again!"
Harigana's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of tears, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall!
Emperor Kangxi felt extremely distressed.
"Jiaojiao, I can explain it to you!" He said, picking her up and placing her on his lap. But the person in his arms no longer hugged his waist or pulled his hair as before; instead, she placed her hands properly on her knees.
"Your Majesty, I understand! You don't need to explain, I understand!"
Her tone was still gentle, but Kangxi felt as if she had given up on him!
"Jiaojiao! Don't get angry with me over something as trivial as Wuya, okay?"
"good!"
Harigana agreed readily, but Kangxi knew she just didn't want to get entangled with him anymore!
“Jiaojiao, the reason I didn’t comment on Uya is because I didn’t even glance at her. Besides, there were so many servants at the time. She is, after all, the mother of two princes. I couldn’t disrespect her!”
Harigana nodded, then looked up and smiled at Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I understand! Really!"
Kangxi sighed helplessly and tightened his embrace around the person in his arms. He wanted to say something, but it was all in vain!
"Jiaojiao! Call me Xuan Ye, don't call me Emperor anymore! Like before, okay?"
But after waiting for a long time without hearing a reply, I looked down and found that she had fallen asleep!
Looking at her protruding belly and the slight redness in the corners of her eyes, I could only wait until tomorrow to offer an explanation.
The next morning, Kangxi went to the morning court, but not long after he left, the Empress Dowager sent someone to summon him to Cining Palace!
Granny Hu was very anxious, but Emperor Kangxi was holding the morning court session, so she could only have someone wait for him at the Qianqing Gate after the session!
Cining Palace.
"Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager!"
When Bumbutai saw that Harigana was pregnant, he did not torment her like he had last time, and quickly asked Sumalagu to help her up!
The Empress Dowager was worried, but after hearing Uya's ambiguous words, the Grand Empress Dowager immediately sent someone to summon Harigana.
Even if she wanted to stop it, she couldn't say anything about the Empress Dowager in front of so many people!
"I heard that the Emperor went to Yonghe Palace yesterday to celebrate Xiao Si's birthday. Why didn't he tell me?"
Uya was a little scared at this moment. She did not expect that the Empress Dowager would actually summon Harigana directly!
Hearing the Empress Dowager's question now, I only had two words in my mind: It's all over!
"Your Majesty, it was my fault. Please punish me!"
Uya knelt on the ground, glancing at Harigana beside her out of the corner of her eye, her heart filled with panic.
"Consort Kang!"
Bumbutai did not call Uya to get up, but turned to call Harigana, who was holding his waist and trying to get up.
"No need to get up! Just reply as you said!"
The Empress Dowager's eyelids twitched. Others might not know, but she did. She was carrying twins, and if anything went wrong, the Emperor would go crazy!
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
Upon hearing Bumbutai's words, Harigana sat back down without any hesitation!
"I heard you also went to Yonghe Palace with the Emperor yesterday?"
