Half an hour later, Kangxi finally came out of the room, now dressed in clean clothes.
"Jiaojiao".
Seeing the woman eating melon seeds and looking at sketchbooks in the pavilion behind the courtyard, I felt extremely aggrieved.
He was perfectly fine when he was in the palace, so why has he become increasingly indifferent to him in the last two years?
In the past, if he was feeling unwell, Harigans would lend him her hand, no matter how shy she was.
On several occasions, you even had the privilege of standing on the round, plump thing.
But now, not only will they not lend it to him, they're even leaving him alone in the house.
He looked in the mirror just now and saw that he did have a few gray hairs, and there seemed to be wrinkles around his eyes.
He had originally planned to give her a good beating after her period ended, but suddenly lost his confidence.
Although Harriet is almost forty years old, she looks like a young woman in her twenties.
If they weren't deliberately dressed to look older, they might easily be mistaken for father and daughter standing next to him.
Thinking about it this way, I no longer had any intention of punishing her. I had to quickly appease her and not let her dislike me.
"Xuan Ye, come quick, come quick, look at this passage, it's really interesting."
Upon hearing Kangxi's voice, Harrigana acted as if nothing had happened, beckoning him over as usual.
"They're here."
Hearing her call Xuan Ye, all the sadness disappeared.
He actually thought that Harper's Cannes would look down on him, what a jerk!
He sat down next to her, took the sketchbook she handed him, and carefully read the passages she mentioned that he found interesting, completely unaware of the fleeting smile on the woman's face next to him.
Even when he was the emperor, above all others, she could still make people dizzy and confused.
At this moment, her biological son is the emperor; he is merely a deposed emperor emeritus.
If this still can't stop him, then all those years of her work have been for nothing.
"Jiaojiao, I... I don't see what it means."
Kangxi genuinely didn't see the meaning behind it; wasn't this just simple everyday talk?
In the distance, Du Lan and Li Dequan were also sitting on small stools in the corner, eating sunflower seeds.
However, they weren't looking at the sketchbook; instead, they were watching the two of them make a scene.
In the first few years after they left home, the two of them were very reserved, and the concept of hierarchy was ingrained in them.
However, in the following years, as they spent more time outside and because Harrigan never truly treated them as slaves, they became increasingly audacious.
And so, they can now watch the retired emperor and empress dowager's drama while munching on sunflower seeds.
"Brother Li, who do you think will win this round?"
Dulan moved closer to Li Dequan and asked in a very low voice.
At first, I thought the two of them would stumble around in broad daylight, but before long, the Empress Dowager actually came out.
Although nothing was said, after serving them for a long time, it was obvious that the Empress Dowager was disciplining the Emperor Emeritus.
"Fool, of course it's the Empress Dowager."
Upon hearing Li Dequan's words, Du Lan could hardly contain her smile.
She said her eldest princess was the best!
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and go!"
Seeing that Kangxi and Harigana had stood up, Li Dequan quickly pulled Dulan away.
Jokes are okay to watch, but not openly.
Dulan also hurriedly stood up, holding a small basket of melon seeds in her hand, while Li Dequan carried two stools and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
