As Kangxi watched Harigana begin to carefully select her items, he put down his brush, half-embraced her, and gently inhaled the floral fragrance from her hair, feeling very comfortable.
"Your Majesty! Is this character something only I, not a servant, can use?" Harigana pointed at the character "俪" and, without waiting for Kangxi's reply, continued, "I don't like this character '禧', I hate it!"
Li, what a loving couple! This is something only the Empress can use. If she uses it, she will never have a peaceful day again.
And that character "禧" in Cixi's name—she would never use it, even if you beat her to death.
Emperor Kangxi hadn't initially considered using this character, but just now he suddenly thought of it and felt it suited her very well.
Although Harigana was not his queen, she was the first woman he wanted at first sight, so she was worthy of him.
"Jiaojiao, you can use it if you like. It's a gift from me, so don't worry about anything else! Also, don't call me 'servant' anymore, it sounds awful!"
Kangxi made it sound simple, but she'll be the one who suffers later!
"don't want!"
Harigana never imagined she would become empress, and given this miser's nature, she would at most be a concubine, with Consort Hui and Imperial Consort above her. What did it mean that she used the character "Li"?
"Alright! Let's use the character '宸' then!"
Emperor Kangxi made the final decision, and before Harigana could refuse, he took the imperial edict and began to write.
Harigana leaned over to look, but it was all in traditional Chinese characters, and she could only vaguely recognize a few. But as she looked, something felt off; she couldn't believe she'd seen that character correctly!
"emperor!"
Harigana was stunned. She had just thought she would at most be a concubine, after all, Emperor Kangxi in history was a stingy emperor when it came to bestowing ranks. But now, things didn't seem to be going as planned!
"Hmm? Jiaojiao understands? Do you like it?"
Kangxi did not look up, quickly finished writing, put down his pen, and took out the imperial seal to stamp it.
"No, no, no! Your Majesty! Wait, wait, wait! No, no, no!"
In her anxiety, Harigana was unable to utter a complete sentence; her beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with shock and anxiety.
When Kangxi looked over, he saw two small ears that looked pink and tender in the midday sunlight, with the downy hairs on them clearly visible. Ignoring the shock on his face, his delicate little face finally looked different from before.
He reached out and pinched the little ear, making the little boy's hair stand on end. With a snap, he slapped Kangxi's hand down.
"Your Majesty! I'm discussing serious matters. Isn't this score a bit too high?"
Harigana blushed slightly and pinched his earlobe, which Kangxi had just touched, hard. After the numb sensation disappeared, he lowered his hand.
But with just a couple of kneading motions, her earlobes became fuller, bright red, and looked like a beautiful woman in the sunlight, so beautiful that they seemed untouchable.
"Jiaojiao! You deserve it!"
Emperor Kangxi had been considering what rank to give Harigana, until he almost took her by force just now, and only then did he finally decide to give her the rank of concubine.
As an emperor, if he likes a woman and wants to give her a higher rank, does he have to depend on others' opinions? Therefore, if Harigana becomes pregnant again, she can be made a Noble Consort.
He never thought of establishing an empress, and there was only one imperial concubine, Tongjia, in the palace at present. As long as Harigana gave birth to a child, whether it was a boy or a girl, she would definitely become an imperial concubine. Then Harigana would not have any of the things he was worried about in the palace.
"Forehead!"
Having a high rank is certainly a good thing; at least you won't have to kneel down to everyone you meet, and it will save you a lot of trouble.
After thinking it over, he let go of the hand that was stopping Kangxi from stamping his seal. It was a good thing after all; it was better to play innocent than to gain an advantage.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As Kangxi gazed at Harigana's radiant face, he momentarily forgot to stamp the imperial seal. This was the first time he had seen Harigana with such a bright and cheerful smile; she was radiant and full of sunshine, and most importantly, her eyes were filled with nothing but him.
Harigana felt a little embarrassed by Kangxi's gaze, blushed, and tried to leave, but Kangxi grabbed her and kissed her lips once again.
"Hmm!"
Harigana tried to struggle, but Kangxi's kiss was too intense. Although she couldn't respond, she just didn't let him feel rejected.
Kangxi had been observing Harigana's reaction. When he saw her raise her hand, he felt a chill in his heart. He thought his darling was going to push him away again, but to his surprise, her two little hands only paused for a moment before placing them on his waist.
This greatly excited Kangxi. He picked up Harigana with one hand and with a wave of his hand, all the things that were in the way fell to the ground. He placed her on the table, put his arms around her neck, and began to savor her.
Harigana was just a small act of initiative, and Kangxi almost surrendered during the kiss. He only let go of the woman who had made him lose control when the person in his arms could no longer breathe.
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi's voice was hoarse, veins bulged on his forehead, and he held Harigana tighter and tighter, calling her Jiaojiao over and over again.
Harigana was panting heavily, his lips were numb and swollen, and he was weak all over, so he could only lean on Kangxi.
"pain!"
Kangxi was holding her too tightly, so she had no choice but to speak up and remind him.
But after uttering just one word, she noticed her voice had become incredibly charming. Blushing and afraid of being seen by Kangxi, she buried her face in his chest.
"Hehe! Jiaojiao is such a good girl!"
Harigana doesn't raise its head, doesn't respond, and mainly acts like a quail.
After they separated, seeing the mess on the table and the imperial edict lying on the ground, Kangxi could only let Li Dequan clean up.
"Li Dequan!"
"Your servant is here!"
Li Dequan dared not come in now. The two had been kissing so passionately, especially since the table was outside the screen. So he could not only hear everything clearly, but also clearly see the two entwined lovers through the corner of the curtain that was quietly lifted when the breeze blew.
"Come in and tidy up!"
Li Dequan!!!
[Your Majesty! Could you two please not cause such a commotion every time? This is the third time today!]
"yes!"
Li Dequan lifted the curtain and went inside, taking the fuming Dulan with him as well, since the two of them could tidy up faster.
Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, holding Harigana in his arms. The latter didn't even glance at the two people who came in to tidy up, and was only pretending to be a quail.
Dulan had never seen an imperial edict before, so when she tried to pick it up, Li Dequan quickly grabbed it, intending to roll it up and store it away. However, the contents of the edict shocked him.
Suppressing his excitement and shock, he tidied up everything on the ground and began to categorize it.
