Harigana lowered his hand from Kangxi's mouth, then placed it on his chest and tapped it: "You must fill this place with me, just like me!" After saying that, he turned around to get out of bed, but Kangxi hugged him directly.
"Jiaojiao! Can you say it again?"
Harigana lowered her head, took a deep breath, and clenched her fists tightly. Hearing Kangxi's excited tone, she knew she was halfway to success!
"N-nothing to say!"
Harigana twisted his body, trying to break free from Kangxi's grasp, but the man's hands were like iron, holding him tightly.
Kangxi was indeed very excited. He had heard and understood what Harigana had said! His beloved Jiaojiao liked him and was completely devoted to him.
"Jiaojiao, can you tell me when it started?"
Harigana froze for a moment, which Kangxi clearly noticed. He had a slight suspicion that Harigana was lying, just for the sake of the child in her womb.
Thinking of this, Kangxi's heart sank. He picked up Harigana, turned her over to face him, and wanted to see her expression. He wanted to know if it was as he had guessed.
But to everyone's surprise, Harigana's face was indeed flushed, and her red lips were tightly bitten. Especially after meeting Kangxi's gaze, she immediately lowered her head and whispered, "The first time I saw you!" After saying that, she threw herself into Kangxi's chest, hugged him tightly, and was determined not to let go.
first?
Kangxi recalled their first meeting, wasn't it the time when Harigana fell off her horse and he saved her?
Thinking of this, Kangxi felt a pang of anxiety. Although he was glad that Harigana had taken a liking to him that time, it was he who had asked Li Dequan to create that opportunity! If Harigana knew the truth, would he still like him?
Harigana did it on purpose. Before, Saenjiya and Baoliri had suspected that Kangxi had done something. Now that they heard Kangxi was silent, she was sure that it was not a coincidence but a deliberate act!
But none of that matters. What matters is that she made Kangxi believe in her!
"Jiaojiao! Then why don't you want to come to the palace with me!"
Emperor Kangxi did not want to ask about the scene of their first meeting, fearing that saying too much would lead to mistakes, so it was better to avoid it.
"I told you, I want a lifelong, monogamous relationship, but unfortunately, you're not right for me!"
"Why is it unsuitable?"
Emperor Kangxi was getting impatient. He clearly liked him, so why had he repeatedly refused to come to the palace? And now he was saying he wasn't suitable? If he wasn't suitable, who was? That Batu?
That's what Kangxi was thinking, and that's what he asked!
"Xuan Ye, do you have a problem with your comprehension? When did I ever say that Batu is good? When did I ever say that I wanted to marry him?" Harigana rolled his eyes, but Kangxi couldn't see them!
"If you clearly like me, why do you still want to find someone else to date!"
Kangxi felt that the conversation today was very good. He not only learned that the young girl liked him, but he was also able to clear up all his doubts.
Harigana was a little sleepy, but since things had come to this point, she fought off her drowsiness and said, "You have many concubines you like, yet you still keep sending new women into the harem, don't you? You have things to consider, and so do I!"
Emperor Kangxi was speechless; how could he possibly respond to that?
Before he could answer, Harigana continued, "Although I like you, it wasn't to the point where I couldn't live without you! Why would I compete with a bunch of women for you when I could have a life as pampered as my mother's!"
Kangxi was already quite choked up, and now hearing this almost gave him a heart attack. He was starting to regret asking that question; it really put him at a complete disadvantage!
"Jiaojiao, how can these be the same!"
Harigana squinted at Kangxi. She had never considered changing the minds of men in the world like those time-traveling heroines. Economic and cultural development were the primary conditions for gender equality.
Ancient times were backward, and political power was entirely in the hands of men. Let alone ordinary people trying to break this balance, even Empress Dowager Bumbutai, who assisted two generations of emperors and served three dynasties, had to listen to the emperors.
A man who doesn't want to change the world and a man who doesn't want to change himself are two completely different things!
"Why is it different! If I hadn't met you, I would still be a princess in other people's eyes, able to have whatever life I wanted. What's the difference!"
You are the emperor now, but what if you weren't the emperor? Would those women still be eager to serve you, or would your good ministers still send their daughters to your harem to serve you?
Even if I weren't a princess, with my looks, I would definitely marry and become a legal wife. Even if he had mistresses or concubines, I would still be the rightful mistress of the house!
Didn't you ask me why I didn't want to go to the palace with you? This is also a very important reason: I don't like it, and I don't want to be subservient to you.
Harigana didn't think she had gone too far. She felt she had to make things clear, and besides, now that Kangxi knew the young girl liked him, whether he was truly angry or harbored suspicions, he wouldn't lose his temper. Most importantly, she hadn't considered leaving any future problems.
"Xuan Ye!"
Before Kangxi could say anything, Harigana closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around Kangxi's neck, and clung to him, saying, "I didn't want to say these things today, in fact, I never wanted to say them to you! But you're so gentle today! I think I've fallen for you a little bit more!"
When Kangxi heard Harigana say that, all his ulterior motives vanished instantly.
"Xuan Ye, I don't ask for anything else now. I only hope that you can keep your word and not disappoint me! I didn't want to enter this abyss, but you dragged me into your vortex! If one day I find that you have betrayed me, I will take back all my affection! I, Harigana, mean what I say!"
Harigana fell asleep immediately after speaking, but Kangxi tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He gently laid Harigana down and then lay beside her, lost in thought. He had assumed Harigana would want that position, but the young girl had clearly stated that she didn't want it; she only wanted his affection!
He wasn't unfamiliar with hearing other concubines say similar things, but he could see the scheming in their eyes at a glance! However, Harigana had just spoken in a half-awake state, and although he couldn't see her eyes, he knew that what Harigana said was absolutely what she was thinking!
After all, if she really wanted that position, he would definitely grant her wish!
