He first fell off his horse, getting injured all over himself while trying to protect her, and then tried to use those injuries to make the girl in front of him feel guilty, so that he could promise her a lifetime together.
But Harigana seems to be different from the others; not only did he not personally thank her, but he has also not inquired about her health until now.
Thinking of this, Kangxi felt a pang in his heart. He wanted to question Harigana about whether she was still unwilling, but looking at the girl in front of him whose cheeks were already flushed, he kept quiet.
"Your Majesty! Could you please leave first?"
Harigana spoke very softly, not daring to look at Kangxi. Although the two had been completely honest with each other yesterday, she still couldn't accept changing clothes in front of a man.
Kangxi's Adam's apple bobbed violently; he had never indulged himself as much as he had yesterday. The moment he broke through the barrier, his sense of satisfaction was more intense than ever before.
Later, with each passing moment, seeing the marks on Harigana's body, he became increasingly excited; that feeling of his blood surging was still vivid in his memory.
"good!"
Even though Kangxi really wanted to tease Harigana a little more, he restrained himself. Firstly, the young girl had just regained consciousness and wasn't fully recovered. Secondly, he knew there was plenty of time ahead, so there was no need to rush.
Harigana watched Kangxi walk out, and just as he was about to get out of bed, he saw Dulan and her mother's personal maid, Hairi, walk in.
"Princess!"
Dulan stepped forward to help Harigana, but Hairi grabbed her and made her kneel down respectfully, saying, "This servant greets Your Highness!"
Dulan had always liked Hai Ri, and was very happy when she learned that Hai Ri would be coming to the palace with her. Most importantly, Hai Ri was close to the Grand Queen Dowager and was extremely knowledgeable about etiquette!
Seeing Hai Ri like this, she didn't understand, but she still followed suit and performed a half-baked bow.
"Get up quickly! Hairi, what brings you here? Did Mother want to see me about something?"
Harigana is not quite used to people calling her "Your Majesty," but it's not a question of whether she can accept it or not, but rather that she must accept it and get used to it.
"Your Majesty! The Grand Consort has asked me to accompany you to the palace, and my servant Wuhen will also be going with you! However, she won't be back until the afternoon, as she needs to make some arrangements at the military camp."
Harigana was overjoyed. She had thought she could only take Dulan with her, but unexpectedly, Hairi and her sister were coming along too. She knew Hairi's abilities; now she really wouldn't have to worry about anyone tampering with her food, clothing, or daily necessities!
However, considering Hai Ri's identity, she still confirmed, "Hai Ri, it must have been Mother who sent you to follow me, right?"
Hai Ri nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, it was the Grand Consort who asked me to go to the capital with you, but I myself suggested that I bring my black hairpin with me!"
Harigana understood the situation, but since Kangxi was outside, she could still see him through the screen, so she dared not speak too bluntly and could only hint at it.
"If you've thought it through, then it's fine! If you come with me to the capital and the palace, it'll probably be impossible for you to come back later!"
Kangxi frowned slightly as he listened to Harigana's words. Something about what he said just didn't sound right! It was as if they, master and servant, would never see the sun rise again after entering the palace.
But the young lady was lecturing her servant, and he couldn't offend Harigana, so he had to suppress his urge to teach her a lesson and listen to the conversation inside.
Li Dequan rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. Who would have thought that a dignified emperor would eavesdrop on his own concubine?
That appearance was truly unbearable to look at! Putting aside the fact that he was sitting in the direction of Consort Chen, the way his ears were perked up was enough to shock the world!
"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to follow you into the palace. From now on, I will be loyal to Your Majesty alone and will never have any other thoughts!"
Hai Ri knelt on the ground again and swore an oath. Seeing her like this, Du Lan also knelt on the ground and pledged her loyalty, saying, "Princess, no, Your Majesty, this servant, like Sister Hai Ri, will definitely serve you well!"
Kangxi nodded, relieved that Harigana had such a loyal servant by his side!
However, when he heard the line about being loyal only to Harigana, Kangxi wanted to roll his eyes, but when he saw Li Dequan standing next to him out of the corner of his eye, he turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Li Dequan!!!
What did I do wrong again? Why has the Emperor started glaring at people since he came to inspect the games?! All I do every day is try to guess what he's thinking; I can't get anything important done!
After glaring at Li Dequan, Kangxi heard Harigana's voice: "Alright! From now on, we're family!"
Harigana wasn't lying; after all, her future safety depended on these people. So what she said came from the bottom of her heart, without any pretense.
Not only did Dulan and Hairi feel Harigana's sincerity, but even Kangxi felt that her words came from the bottom of her heart!
But the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt!
He's clearly the emperor; he controls not only the palace, but the entire Qing Dynasty! Why is he so open and honest with these servants? He wants this little girl to enter the palace, but she keeps making excuses!
Moreover, since they became husband and wife last night, Harigana has never spoken to her so gently and sincerely!
"Get out!"
Kangxi pointed at Li Dequan, thinking, "How can I let him hear such gentle words?"
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
Li Dequan pursed his lips, looked at the back of Kangxi's head, and quietly retreated.
In just a short while, Hairi and Dulan had helped Harigana get dressed and come out.
"emperor!"
Kangxi had heard the sound of Harigana getting out of bed from the very beginning. The image of the girl gracefully walking out from behind the screen was like a painting of a beautiful woman, so beautiful that it was beyond compare. Kangxi's eyes flashed for a moment, but it was so fleeting that no one noticed.
"Get up!"
When Kangxi saw the beautiful woman, supported by her maid, about to bow to him, he reached out and helped her up.
Harigana hadn't felt anything while sitting on the bed, but who knew she would almost fall to the ground after getting off. If Dulan hadn't caught her in time, she would have definitely landed a big fall on her bottom.
