"Did Harigana say anything when you were chatting with her?"
Bao Liri frowned. At the palace banquet, he felt the attention from all directions. If it weren't for his good self-control and his ability to endure and pretend to be stupid since childhood, he might have directly questioned them.
"No, Harigana only told us not to worry, she didn't even mention Haburi."
At first I thought she was complaining, but later I realized she genuinely didn't care.
Saienjiya quietly told Baoliri everything she had seen and heard in Qingxi Palace, even mentioning that the two children's nicknames were actually the characters "Baobei" (meaning "treasure"), and that the Emperor had agreed to it.
"You mean there's something bright red in Harigana's warehouse?"
Bao Liri found it somewhat unbelievable.
Saenjiya nodded: "We brought some things for Harigana, and she told me to go and see if there was anything I liked, and to pick out a couple for my nephews. I didn't want to go at first, but Harigana persuaded me repeatedly, so I went."
"After you enter the palace tomorrow, find an opportunity to ask Emperor Harigana what he really means. If it is really as we suspect, then we can't stay in the capital any longer, and we should go back as soon as possible."
The waters here are too deep for us to understand. It wouldn't be good if we caused trouble for Harigana.
"It's a good thing that our daughter is fortunate enough to receive the Emperor's favor. We can't help her, but we shouldn't hold her back either."
Saenjiya listened to Baoliri, and the two chatted for a while before going to bed early.
The next morning, when Kangxi learned of these words from his secret guards, he valued Harigana's family even more.
Previously on the grassland, he thought Baoliri was a fool. Even though he had made it so obvious, he still didn't understand.
Looking back now, I realize he was just pretending to be stupid back then.
Given the circumstances at the time, he pretended to be stupid and found a husband for Harigana. Even if the emperor wanted to investigate later, he could only respond with the words "the servant is foolish."
Regardless of what happened before, what I said yesterday was absolutely sincere and without any falsehood.
When Saenjiya entered the palace, Harigana had already eaten breakfast. She was supposed to stay with Harigana in Qingxi Palace for the next few days, but she didn't expect that Emperor Kangxi would come back to stay.
To avoid suspicion, she could only enter the palace in the morning and leave in the evening.
"Harigana, are you still feeling unwell?"
She has been lying in bed since yesterday, and now, with Hu Mama's permission, Du Lan is helping her walk around on the ground for a while.
Kangxi wanted to stay with her, but since Sai Enji had come all this way, he could only read in his study, feeling frustrated.
"Don't worry, Mother, I'm not in pain anymore."
The pain was gone, but the flesh on her stomach was loose and saggy, and she was a little worried.
In modern times, she could buy ointments to apply or even undergo postpartum recovery treatments, but in this ancient era, she could only rely on herself to recover.
"You can leave, but don't stay too long."
Seneja helped her walk for a while, and then let her go back to lie down in less than 15 minutes.
"Dulan, you can go down now."
Harigana felt that Saiengiya had something she wanted to tell her, and since she wanted to ask if there was any way to help her recover faster, she asked Dulan to leave after she had settled down.
"Mother, is there something you want to say?"
Saenjiya nodded: "Eji brought you a secret medicine. In a couple of days, Hai Ri will apply it to your belly. She knows how to do this. She also helped Erdun recover after giving birth."
Harigana's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected that his worries would be resolved so easily.
"Mother, thank you. I was just about to ask you. I took a peek this morning, and it was really awful."
Actually, she felt it was ugly, and she was also worried that she wouldn't be able to recover and that Emperor Kangxi might dislike her.
Whether in ancient times or in modern times, how many men would think you're great or cute just by looking at your stretch marks?
"Don't worry, it will definitely work. There wasn't a single mark on Mother's body, and there wasn't a mark left on Erdun's body either."
Remembering Baoli's repeated instructions this morning, she whispered in Harigana's ear, "Your Abu asked me to ask you if the Emperor has made any other promises?"
Harigana didn't understand at first, but she realized from the shape of her mouth that she was talking about the queen.
Did you make a promise? Yes, you did!
But she didn't know when it would happen.
The most famous event during the Kangxi era was the struggle for the throne among the nine princes. She wondered if such a thing would happen again.
Although Kowloon is no longer here, the remaining five are.
What if it's not a nine-prince struggle for the throne, but a five-prince struggle?
She had no idea when Kangxi would be able to quell the internal strife or when he would actually make her empress.
“Yes, Mother.”
Harigana didn't say much. Since Baoliri asked this question, he must have his reasons.
Although Seneja had a premonition, she was still shocked to hear it with her own ears.
Composing herself, she didn't ask any more questions.
He also taught her some methods for invigorating and contracting her qi, and without even having lunch, he hurriedly left the palace.
The happiest person about Saenjiya's departure from the palace was Emperor Kangxi. He had only three days to rest and thought he would have to spend those three days feeling stifled in his study.
Cining Palace.
"Su Ma, go and call Agate over."
Sumalagu went out upon hearing the sound. Fortunately, Shou Kang Palace and Ci Ning Palace were very close, and the person arrived shortly afterward.
"You can go out now."
Borjigit Manau had just sat down when she heard the Empress Dowager tell Sumalagu to leave, and she felt a little nervous.
Because of her resemblance to Harigana, the months she spent living in Chengqian Palace were like a nightmare for her.
Although she has been out of Chengqian Palace for a long time now, the constant suppression and punishment from the Tongjia clan has completely eroded her fighting spirit.
The emperor's intention was clear: he didn't like her, but because of her appearance, she couldn't go out and marry someone else.
She would spend her entire life in that small Shou Kang Palace.
During this time, she heard a lot about that empress and also learned that the Kunning Palace, which should have been the residence of the empress, had been given to her.
All she wants now is to live a good life and not cause trouble for her mother's clan.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's gleaming eyes, she instantly had a premonition that her death was imminent.
"yes!"
As Sumalagu withdrew and turned to close the door, she glanced at the two people inside and saw the Empress Dowager handing a letter to Borjigit.
The Empress Dowager knew that Kangxi's secret guards were by her side, so she didn't say much. After she finished reading the letter, she took it and burned it to ashes.
"Go back and think about it. I'll be waiting for your good news."
Borjigit Manau hesitated to speak, and returned to Shou Kang Palace less than a quarter of an hour after arriving.
"Don't disappoint me."
The Empress Dowager muttered to herself.
