Upon hearing Harigana's words, Uya's heart leaped into her throat.
"Your Highness, there's nothing special about crystal cake. It's just that Xiao Si has already eaten a lot of food. If he eats crystal cake now, he might not be able to digest it properly!"
Harigana nodded, then took a piece and tasted it.
"Your Majesty, I think it tastes pretty good. Please try some!" she said, placing two pieces on Kangxi's plate.
Although Kangxi was puzzled, seeing Harigana's serious expression, he did not doubt her and put a piece in his mouth.
Uya's hands were clenched tightly. He had just finished speaking and wanted to ask Granny Dai to leave, but he did not expect Harigana to do this. He was terrified!
But she didn't dare to call a halt, otherwise she would be suspected!
Kangxi didn't notice anything unusual about Uya, but Harigana certainly did. Now she was even more certain that there was more to this crystal cake than met the eye!
However, she didn't say much. At this point, she shouldn't know about these intricacies, so she didn't mention the crystal cake again.
"It's quite good. If Jiaojiao likes it, I'll send someone over to learn how to make it when we get back, and then I'll cook it for you!"
Kangxi didn't find it particularly delicious, and even thought the taste was a bit strange. But considering that Harigana was pregnant, it was normal for her to have discerning tastes, so he didn't think much of it!
"Father, may I have one?"
Yinti had finished eating, but hearing everyone say that crystal cake was delicious, he was eager to try it.
His mother always said that eating sweets was bad, and he could only eat pastries once a month. She said that only girls liked to eat them, and boys didn't eat them!
"Try it! But don't eat too much!"
Having received permission, Yinti immediately had a young eunuch bring him two pieces.
What made Lady Uya most devastated was that not only did Yinti eat it himself, but he also put two pieces on the plates for Yinreng and Yinzhi each!
Now, there's no need to remove the pastries at all. They were only a dozen or so pieces to begin with, but now there aren't any left!
Harigana only took a small bite; after all, she had just said she was full, so it was understandable that she didn't finish. And while wiping her mouth, she had already spat it onto her handkerchief!
However, the younger ones ate two pieces each, especially Yinzhen, who ate three pieces.
So, the children were so sleepy that they couldn't even lift their heads after they finished eating!
"Mother, your son is sleepy!"
Yinzhen was the first to resist, after all, he was the youngest and ate the most!
Next were Yinzhi and Yinreng. Although Yinti was also very sleepy, his years of riding and archery training gave him a better physical condition than the other three. As for Yinzuo, he had already gone back to sleep!
Uya was already very nervous, and her back was covered in sweat!
If Emperor Kangxi still couldn't see the problem, then he had been emperor for nothing!
I wanted to see what she would do today, but I had Li Dequan observe her secretly and the guards investigate. Otherwise, a young eunuch wouldn't have gone in to help move things without Consort De's permission!
But despite all his calculations, he never expected that she would tamper with the child.
He looked at Uya with a gloomy face, then glanced at Harigana who had been sitting next to him. Although he didn't want to be suspicious, doubts still arose in his heart.
"Li Dequan, go and summon the imperial physician!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Harigana looked at Kangxi with a puzzled expression, his eyes questioning why he was called the Imperial Physician.
Looking at the puzzled girl, Kangxi suppressed his suspicions and shook his head, offering no clear explanation as he usually did.
Harigana didn't think anything of it. He had a particular fondness for this kind of thing. How could he give it to you without going through some things first?
In retrospect, while it cannot be said that his opposition to Bumbutai was purely due to the genetic traits of the Aisin Gioro clan, this accounted for the vast majority of the story.
Although Uya was worried, she still had confidence in her family's secret medicine. Thinking of this, she felt much more at ease!
The imperial physician arrived quickly; it wasn't Physician Zhao, but Physician Li, who was the Empress Dowager's man and happened to be on duty that night.
After taking the pulse, the pulse was normal.
Uya was relieved.
Kangxi still had doubts in his heart, but he felt guilty about his earlier suspicion of Harigana. He subconsciously tried to grab her hand, but she dodged it silently!
Harigana yawned, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Your Majesty, I am tired. May I return to the palace first?"
Kangxi stood up, no longer arguing with Wuya, but secretly made a gesture, and soon the food that was taken away was missing a crystal cake.
"Li Dequan, escort the Crown Prince and the others back. Remember, they must not catch a cold!"
He turned to look at Wuya, his face grim: "Wuya, you'd better watch yourself!" With that, he took her arm and left.
After boarding the dragon carriage, Harigana kept his eyes closed. He was a little sleepy, but he simply didn't want to talk.
"Your Majesty, we've arrived!"
Just as Kangxi was about to speak, he heard Dulan call out "Harigana" from the other side.
Dulan could tell just now that her princess was unhappy. After serving her for so many years, if she couldn't even see this, she would have hanged herself!
And it's obvious that it's because of the Emperor that Kangxi isn't being given any chance to shine right now.
She was a servant girl, so it was perfectly normal for her to do such a thing. Even if Emperor Kangxi wanted to punish her, he couldn't find an excuse.
"Okay! Dulan, quickly tell them to prepare water. I'll wash up and then go to sleep; I'm so tired!"
The imperial carriage has landed, and Harigana has also disembarked!
Although Kangxi helped him down, he didn't hold his hand again, and slowly walked back with Dulan by his side!
Li Dequan stood beside Kangxi, not daring to utter a sound. After gesturing for the others to leave, he quietly awaited the emperor's decree.
Qingxi Palace!
Emperor Kangxi stared at the three characters "Qingxi Palace" and fell into deep thought. Had he made another mistake?
Harigana went straight to the side hall, and by the time he removed his headdress, the water was already prepared!
Soaking in the bathtub and enjoying a massage at Dulan was incredibly relaxing!
However, I didn't soak for very long because my belly was already quite big, and sitting in the water for too long would make me feel uncomfortable!
Kangxi had already washed up, and this was the first time in a long time that he did not have the courage to push open the door and go in to wash up with Harigana.
Entering the inner hall, I saw Kangxi sitting on a low couch, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.
She didn't want to pay him any attention, but she still wanted to poke at Kangxi's heart. How could she be happy if she didn't keep him up all night?
"Your Majesty, I'll go back to rest now! My stomach is a little upset, so I won't keep you company any longer!" After saying this, she bowed and went into the inner palace without waiting for Kangxi to speak.
