Harigana was unaware of what had happened in the previous dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi would never have told her.
Because I had something on my mind, I woke up after only a short while.
After lying in bed for a while, she thought about the recent situation and what she should do. She had a general plan in mind before calling Dulan over.
"Your Majesty, why are you up so early?"
Dulan had just gotten up. Chasu had been on duty outside last night, and she was thinking of going to check on Baobao and Beibei when she heard Harigana calling for help.
"Hmm! Dulan, have Xiao Li summon Zhao Rongxi in a moment. I wish to take his pulse to check his health."
She didn't mention Kangxi not because she was wary of Dulan, but because Wei Qi was definitely present. This matter was the emperor's secret, and she couldn't just spread it around.
In addition, Dulan is an impatient person, so it's actually for her own good not to tell her these things.
"Princess, are you alright? Should I call Granny Hu or Granny Su in to take a look at you?"
Harigana chuckled, just thinking that she was an impatient person, and now she was calling for a princess.
If that petty Emperor Kangxi heard this, after finally having a couple of days of peace, he would definitely target her again.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
"It's just that the Emperor is worried about me and wanted to check my pulse to make sure I'm okay."
As they talked, the two of them finished washing up. Chasu was making the bed, while Dulan was helping Harigana comb her hair.
"Are the baby and baby awake?"
Hearing some noise outside, Harigana turned around and glanced over.
"Your Highness, he should be awake. I heard the young master laughing. Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
As she spoke, her hands moved faster, and in no time, a beautiful hairpin hairstyle was finished.
Harigana stood up, changed her clothes, and went to see the baby and Beibei. She happened to see the two little ones finishing their milk and being placed on the cradle.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!"
The wet nurse immediately knelt on the ground to pay her respects.
"Get up!"
Walking up to the cradle, looking at my daughter sucking her thumb and my son lying still, I felt a pang of sadness.
She had noticed a few days ago that the baby seemed to be very inactive and didn't like to make noise unless he was very hungry or needed to pee.
But Beibei is different; she's not only active, but she also cries easily.
Sometimes, when she cries, it scares her older brother so much that he cries along with her.
"Your Majesty, the two young masters are in good health, please rest assured."
Granny Su stepped forward, looking at the two children with eyes full of love.
Harigana nodded, trusting Hu Mama and Su Mama to handle matters.
One was from her maternal family, and the other was sent by Emperor Kangxi.
If these two people can't be trusted, then there are very few people in the entire palace who can be trusted.
"Granny Su, thank you and Granny Hu for your hard work these past few days."
Su Rina shook her head; she was destined to grow old alone.
Now that she can watch a little life grow up before her eyes, her life can be considered complete.
"Your Majesty, these are all things this servant should do."
Harigana didn't say much, but held Surina's hand tightly, everything was understood without words.
She was truly grateful to Su Rina. From the initial persuasion on the carriage to the subsequent guidance, if it weren't for Su Rina's occasional reminders, perhaps her relationship with Kangxi wouldn't be as harmonious as it is now.
After the child fell asleep, Harigana returned to the inner palace to wait for Emperor Kangxi to finish his court session.
"Your Majesty!"
Dulan whispered a few words in her ear, then her eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Harigana never expected such a thing to happen, but Kangxi didn't tell her, probably because he didn't want her to overthink it.
"Dulan, you'll stay by my side for the time being and don't go out anymore."
Dulan nodded. Although she didn't understand why, her princess said she couldn't go out, so she wouldn't go out either.
"This servant understands, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
I reached out and pinched her cheek. It seemed that Xiao Dulan had gained a lot of weight, and her cheeks were chubby.
"I'm doing this for your own good; it's not appropriate for us to appear in public together right now."
It's better to be safe than sorry, you know?
We don't know what the Emperor is going to do, but he looks very nervous.
Since the Emperor has been living in our Qingxi Palace, if someone with ulterior motives tries to do something, and we don't take precautions, we might give them an opportunity to take advantage of us.
In a little while, have Granny Hu gather all the servants of Qingxi Palace together for a lecture. Unless absolutely necessary, no one in Qingxi Palace is allowed to leave the palace gates.
Even if someone wants to go out, they either have to talk to Little Li or Granny Hu and get permission before they can go out.
Anyone who leaves without permission will be expelled from Qingxi Palace. We have no need for disobedient servants here.
Harigana thought about it and realized that not only was it unsuitable for Dulan to go out, but even the people from Qingxi Palace could not go out.
Not to mention the previous dynasty, everyone in the harem was watching them, wanting to find a handle to wipe them all out.
Therefore, during this period, not only did she have to act cautiously, but the servants in the palace also could not make any mistakes.
"Yes! I'll go and tell Granny Hu right away."
Dulan sensed the severity in Harigana's tone, her heart tightened, and she turned to leave.
"Dulan!"
Harigana stopped her: "Tell Granny Hu that the Emperor is currently busy with state affairs, and there must be no trouble in the harem."
Especially Qingxi Palace, we absolutely cannot let the Emperor down.
Tell her she absolutely must pay attention and not give anyone an opportunity to cause trouble for the Emperor.
As Kangxi walked to the entrance of the inner palace, he heard Harigana giving instructions to Dulan, every word of which was for his sake.
I was filled with emotion.
Suddenly, he thought of the dowager empress dowager who was so aggressive at the door of the imperial study, and Harigana who knew nothing but supported him unconditionally, preferring to confine himself rather than cause him any trouble. He tried to compare them, but found that there was no way to compare them at all.
One was the person who raised him, but also the person who wanted to profit from him.
Now her heart is increasingly insatiable, and she even wants to extend her reach into matters of state.
The other was the person he loved, someone he had forced to come to the palace with him, abandoning their hometown and family.
Now she truly loves him wholeheartedly, and is willing to give up everything for him, even considering his needs in every way, and has given birth to twins for him.
"Jiaojiao!"
Unwilling to think any further, he feared he might lose control of his emotions and go directly to the Imperial Study to issue an imperial edict, bestowing the title of Empress upon Harigana.
If the timing and circumstances hadn't been wrong, he wouldn't have been able to wait until now.
I took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and went inside.
"Xuan Ye, you're back?"
