Harigana's face was indeed not looking good, not just a thousand times worse than others, but because he was angry!
[Is Emperor Kangxi out of his mind? Since Lady Tongjia is here, why not just get along with her? Why bother calling her over?]
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Tongjia's voice rang out, and she stepped out of the carriage.
Li Dequan was also in turmoil, wondering what the Emperor was up to. Looking at Kangxi and Lady Tongjia standing in the carriage, and then at Harigana standing below, Li Dequan couldn't imagine how much the Emperor would regret it later. But he knew that this action had definitely pushed Consort Chen away!
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine!"
Harigana suppressed the bitterness in his heart and knelt on the ground to pay his respects to Tongjia.
Even in her previous life, under those circumstances, she had never been looked down upon like this. Moreover, she could clearly see that Tongjia's gaze was extremely unfriendly.
Kangxi was now truly regretting his actions. He and Lady Tongjia were standing on the carriage, while Harigana was standing alone below. Moreover, she had never wanted to enter the palace and disliked his concubines even more.
This morning, the two of them had finally managed to ease up a bit, but just now he saw indifference in Harigana's eyes.
"Jiaojiao! Get up! Didn't I tell you? You don't need to be so polite with me!"
After Kangxi finished speaking, before Li Dequan could help him up, he jumped down from the carriage and tried to take Harigana's hand, but she subtly dodged him!
"Your Majesty, I thank you!"
Harigana stood up and quietly took a step back. Kangxi smelled of rouge and powder, which she never used and found pungent.
"This must be Consort Chen! I never expected her to be so beautiful. No wonder the Emperor likes her so much!"
With Min'er's help, Lady Tongjia stepped down from the carriage and stood beside Emperor Kangxi once again, like a principal wife looking at her husband's concubine.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness Consort Tong!"
Harigana's voice was cold and aloof, a coldness that Kangxi had never heard before. Moreover, the estrangement in his words infuriated Tongjia, yet her face remained smiling!
"Hehe! Your Majesty! My sister's personality is just like Consort Yi's!"
Upon hearing this, everyone except for the two women, the Tongjia clan and their servant, felt a pang of unease, especially Emperor Kangxi, whose gaze toward Harigana was filled with guilt.
Harigana herself didn't react much. When she decided to return to the palace with Kangxi, she was already prepared to face the concubines in the harem, so Tongjia's words really didn't hurt her.
Perhaps anyone would be angry, but Harigana had no feelings for Kangxi, and had never even thought of liking him, so her punch was like hitting cotton.
The atmosphere was unusually quiet. Harigana did not respond to Tongjia's words. Firstly, the person had just asked about Emperor Kangxi, and secondly, she did not know Consort Yi, so there was nothing she could say!
Most importantly, if she hadn't misheard, her poisoning and Habril's plot against the emperor were not only aided by the Empress Dowager, but this woman in front of her was also the culprit.
She can't do anything right now, but revenge is a dish best served cold, she'll always have her chance!
Harigana may be weak and can stay quietly in his room, but he is not someone that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bully!
