Upon entering the inner hall, he dismissed everyone, grabbed Kangxi's hand, and led him inside. He then pushed him down onto the soft couch, mounted him, and began to beat him mercilessly!
The man who was hit didn't dare to dodge; he held her waist to prevent her from falling.
"No wonder you were so well-behaved last night, no wonder you didn't try to coax me yesterday."
"So, while I was away, your empress was from the Tongjia clan, wasn't she?"
Harigana's eyes were red, and his little hands kept hitting Kangxi's chest to vent his anger.
Hearing her recount what happened yesterday, Kangxi finally understood why she had acted so strangely last night.
She chuckled softly, about to explain, when her mouth was covered.
"Still laughing, still laughing!"
Harigana, still not satisfied with what he was saying, went up and bit him on the shoulder, only letting go when he heard a muffled groan.
Seeing that he was still smiling, she twisted her body, wanting to get down, but the large hand around her waist held her tightly.
"Let me go, I'll make room for you!"
She tried to pry his hand open, but his large hand seemed to be welded to her body, and she couldn't pry open even a single finger after struggling for a while.
"Jiaojiao!"
With a single turn, Kangxi brought Harigana beneath him.
Not daring to waste any more time, she quickly explained, "Jiaojiao, the reason I didn't touch you last night wasn't because of Tongjia Shi, but because I took medicine again. Zhao Rongxi said to try not to have sex on the same day."
Also, it's not that I don't want to comfort you; I genuinely don't know what I did wrong, and I'm afraid that if I say too much, you'll get even angrier.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Jiaojiao, I wish I could die on top of you. Didn't you notice that I was holding back yesterday?"
Harigana froze, thought for a moment, but couldn't recall anything.
Because of his explanation, I forgot to cry.
"You're making excuses!"
Blushing, she tried to push him away, but he grabbed her hand and held it above her head.
"Jiaojiao, now that we've explained what happened last night, let's talk about what just happened."
That was just Yinzhen's dream, not reality.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he kissed her red lips and felt her body go limp before continuing, "Jiaojiao, if I hadn't met you, Tongjia would have been the Empress, I don't deny that."
But in my heart, there has never been anyone else but you.
You can't get angry with me over a possibility, because I met you, and all possibilities are just possibilities, not the final outcome.
Now, my queen is you, it's you, Harigana.
Moreover, I once swore that from now on, there would only be you, and no one else.
Jiaojiao, don't be angry with me because of things that didn't happen, okay?
Harigana pursed her lips and ultimately didn't say anything, but you could tell from her expression that she wasn't angry anymore.
"good!"
He released the person beneath him and lay down beside her, saying, "Jiaojiao, what Yinzhen said might actually be true."
Harigana's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at him: "Why?"
“Last year, I didn’t want to go to the border region, but my grandmother insisted on going. She said she wanted to go back to her hometown while she was still able to move around.”
After Kangxi finished speaking, he turned around and hugged Harigana: "Jiaojiao, if what Yinzhen said is true, did you also get married, have children with someone else, and live your whole life?"
His voice was sour, with a hint of jealousy.
Harigana choked, having gone through all that trouble and worry, only to have him pull this stunt.
Wouldn't a normal person doubt her identity?
How could Emperor Kangxi have such a peculiar thought process that he actually thought she would get married and have children?
She was genuinely sad last night. She thought that Kangxi was going to observe three days of mourning for Lady Tongjia and that he was using this opportunity to confuse the issue. However, her intentions were completely unexpected.
"Maybe, marry Batu, and have a child just like Batu!"
"Harigana!"
Kangxi roared, kissing her lips again before she could finish speaking, swallowing the rest of his words.
During the kiss, her hair came loose, and her outer robe was almost taken off.
"Wait, Xuan Ye, it's broad daylight!"
He reached out and covered his mouth: "Calm down!"
“Harigana, if you mention that black man again, I’ll have someone kill him right now.”
He brushed her hand away, looking at her with hostility: "I mean what I say."
Harigana choked; she had only wanted to provoke Kangxi, but she hadn't expected such a strong reaction.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."
After all that, both of them were covered in sweat.
Hearing the sounds of demons fighting inside, Li Dequan pulled Dulan away to hide far away.
He never knew he was a person who liked to sigh and shake his head, but over the past year, he had sighed countless times because of the two people inside.
I had just returned when I heard my ancestor roaring the Emperor's name by full name and threatening to beat him to death.
Just when the noise had subsided a bit, the emperor, in a fit of rage, roared out the name of his living ancestor.
Tsk tsk tsk!
It's really hard to explain!
That evening, Harigana was thoroughly devoured by Kangxi, who demonstrated through his actions that he had no ulterior motives.
After the morning court session ended, Emperor Kangxi held the letter presented by Li Dequan, his eyes flashing slightly.
Nalan Mingzhu, Prince Kang, and others were summoned to discuss the situation in the Dzungar Khanate.
"Your Majesty, the Dzungars are just a small tribe."
Nalan Mingzhu didn't quite agree. They were peacefully staying on their own territory, so why were they using artillery to attack them?
Although the Emperor has been acting somewhat arbitrarily in the past year, he has only been issuing imperial edicts haphazardly. Now, however, it has escalated to the point of launching a large-scale attack on a small tribe.
"My mind is made up. I summoned you here only to discuss how and when to fight, not to ask whether you will fight or not!"
Nalan Mingzhu choked and immediately shut his mouth.
Let them fight; after all, the Qing Dynasty's territory has expanded once more.
Meanwhile, Yinzhen was waiting for Kangxi to deal with Harigana, thinking that as long as she was not there, things would proceed as he had dreamed, and he would become the emperor.
However, he was too young and lacked any shrewdness. Coupled with the unexpected events like Harigana's death, his dream of becoming emperor remained just that—a dream.
After the matter concerning Lady Tongjia was resolved, the palace became quiet and deserted again.
With winter already here, apart from the Qianqing Palace, Qingxi Palace, and Ningshou Palace, the other palaces are all quiet and peaceful.
Baby and Beibei have moved into a new room. Since they are still young, Beibei is also in Baby's room. When they get a little older, they will be taken care of by their nanny and live separately.
With the recent events of the coronation ceremony and the Tongjia clan's affairs, Harigana's plan to introduce complementary foods to her baby and Beibei was delayed until December.
That day, Emperor Kangxi had just returned from the Qianqing Palace when he saw Harigana preparing bones for his two children to gnaw on.
"Jiaojiao, it's not like we can't afford a wet nurse. Let them feed her for another year."
Kangxi looked at the lamb leg in Harigana's hand with a face full of resistance and tried hard to persuade him.
