Harigana, who was initially a little nervous, suddenly felt a flush rise to her face from what she said.
She gave him a coquettish look and silently said "You're so annoying," which made Kangxi laugh heartily.
Li Dequan had already led his servants away. The reward would definitely be given, but only if it didn't interfere with the Emperor and Empress's flirting.
"Dulan, come in!"
Harigana called for someone, and Dulan, with red eyes but a smile on her face, walked in.
"Your Majesty, this servant is here!"
He knelt on the ground, behaving very properly.
"Take two thousand taels of silver from the private treasury and distribute it among the servants of Qingxi Palace and Qianqing Palace as you see fit."
Li Dequan, Little Li, Granny Hu, Granny Su, and the rest of you, each of you will receive fifty taels.
The wet nurses were each given thirty taels of silver, and the men who carried the imperial carriage also received a share.
Dulan immediately agreed, quietly withdrew, and went to carry out her duties.
Emperor Kangxi was increasingly pleased. After a year, his beloved daughter had truly grown up.
The fact that even the people in the Qianqing Palace could think of this shows that they took him to heart; otherwise, why would they have thought of the servants in the Qianqing Palace?
"Jiaojiao, I'll come pick you up before the banquet tonight. We're going to the Imperial Study now."
There were still some things he needed to consider. He hadn't reviewed the memorials yet, and he needed to take care of things so he wouldn't be able to spend the evening with Harigana.
"Okay! Go on, I'll wait for you."
She said she wanted to kiss his cheek, but was restrained by the heavy air cannon. Her lips pursed, but she couldn't reach his face.
Her face flushed instantly, and just as she was about to pull her neck back, the man leaned down and kissed her red lips.
"Jiaojiao, I'll eat you tonight."
The two touched foreheads, finished speaking, and then gave each other a light kiss before letting go.
After everyone left, Dulan walked in happily and hugged her directly: "Princess, you did it."
The sound was very soft, only loud enough for Harigana to hear.
"Dulan, thank you."
Holding Dulan, her eyes were a little wet, but she couldn't cry.
She couldn't bear to cry, and she had to attend a palace banquet that evening, so she couldn't afford to look disheveled.
She forced back her tears and said, "Hehe! Your Majesty, fifty taels is a bit too little. I need to buy some good food, so please give me more."
Harigana chuckled softly, knowing that she was trying to change the subject to avoid upsetting her, but she still remained energetic.
"Alright, alright, take it yourself. You don't have the key to my private vault, so take whatever you think is best."
He reached out and tapped Dulan's forehead. Neither of them spoke again, but their eyes were full of smiles as they looked at each other.
After lunch, Harigana began to wash and get ready, spending most of the time just doing her hair.
The phoenix crown was very heavy, even heavier than when she was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort. I don't know when Kangxi made it.
"Jiaojiao!"
Emperor Kangxi had already changed into his court robes, and he looked handsome and upright. Especially after putting on his hat, his bald head was no longer visible, making him look even more dashing.
"Xuan Ye, it's so heavy!"
"If Jiaojiao doesn't want to bring it, then she won't."
It's not a ceremony, and who knows how long it will take? What if it wears people out?
Granny Hu opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
As long as the Emperor and Empress are happy, she should keep her mouth shut and avoid annoying others.
Harigana's eyes lit up, and he quickly told Dulan to take off the phoenix crown and put it away: "Give me the little wooden box at the bottom!"
Dulan understood, took the small wooden box, and then stood behind her to start taking apart the hair.
Seeing the tacit understanding between master and servant, Kangxi was somewhat unhappy.
Without even saying what the wooden box was, Dulan actually started taking apart her hair and making her a new one.
I'm very unhappy!
With so many people around, he couldn't say anything and could only glare at Dulan with hostility.
Unfortunately, Dulan paid no attention to his gaze, as she was carefully fixing Harigana's hair, determined to make her beautiful princess look stunning.
Emperor Kangxi had been standing to the side, but when he saw the hairpin in her hair, he couldn't stop smiling.
Fortunately, I'm used to being cold and aloof all these years, so I managed to hold back my laughter.
"Is Xuan Ye handsome?"
He shook his head. Apart from his hairpin and a phoenix hairpin, there was nothing else.
Even so, Kangxi still thought it was very beautiful.
"nice!"
It was still early, so the two of them didn't ride in the imperial carriage this time. Instead, they held hands and strolled slowly toward the banquet hall.
When the two appeared at the entrance of the banquet, everyone knelt down to greet them.
"I'm here!"
Kangxi noticed that she was a little nervous, so he took her hand, bent down, and whispered something in her ear.
This simple action was witnessed by everyone.
The Emperor must have adored the Empress so much that he was willing to bow down to her.
However, considering what happened at the palace banquet a few days ago, it didn't seem strange at all.
"Okay!"
The Empress Dowager kept staring at Harigana's head, and she felt uneasy no matter how she looked at it.
I have a phoenix hairpin, but it looks rather shabby.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
The Empress Dowager's gaze was simply too obvious for her to ignore.
Helpless, I could only find an opportunity to ask her quietly.
"The outfit is a bit too simple!"
Harigana chuckled, knowing they would think that way.
She covered her mouth, gathered her emotions, and her eyes were full of pride: "Mother, my headdress is worth more than ten thousand pieces of gold."
