Harigana didn't ask too many questions. After getting ready, she put on a veil and followed Kangxi out of the palace.
On the carriage, Kangxi briefly told her about Dai Zi's situation here.
Seeing that she wasn't very interested, he stopped talking and turned to describe the scenery outside the carriage.
Harigana didn't not want to listen; it was just that what the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had said before was a bit frightening, and she didn't dare to say anything recklessly.
Hearing Kangxi change the subject, she quickly chimed in, afraid that he would bring up important state affairs again.
"Jiaojiao".
Looking at her bright eyes, Kangxi helplessly picked her up and placed her on his lap: "You are just a heartless little fool."
He tapped the tip of her nose, his face full of doting affection.
This is his beloved. If it were anyone else, they would listen very carefully to what he was saying and then give him advice.
But his beloved Jiaojiao was always very sensible; unless he encountered some difficult situation, she would never say a word.
Such a measured approach to things, perhaps only his beloved Jiaojiao possesses.
Suddenly thinking of the Empress Dowager, my fondness for Harigana grew even stronger.
If the person sitting next to him today, listening to him talk about state affairs, were the Empress Dowager, she would not only give him advice, but would also certainly introduce him to some talented and extraordinary people from Khorchin.
"Stop calling me stupid. I'm not stupid to begin with, but you've made me sound stupid."
"You are the emperor; what you say can come true."
Harigana watched his ever-changing expression, wondering what he was thinking.
Emperor Kangxi possessed a lot of brain circuits.
They can easily stray into the most obscure and inaccessible places, and once they start, they can't stop thinking about it.
"Okay, okay, my little darling is very smart. From now on, I'll praise you as a great smart girl, alright?"
Kangxi chuckled and immediately gave in.
Harigana frowned, feeling that those words weren't exactly pleasant to hear.
She didn't like the term "great intelligence".
However, Kangxi was right about one thing: she was indeed very intelligent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know who's sitting next to him now.
Her affection was mixed with calculation, but what could she do when he was the emperor?
If it weren't for her cunning and innate luck, given her personality, she would have died countless times.
And most importantly, it's her appearance!
If she weren't exceptionally beautiful, Emperor Kangxi wouldn't have forced her into the palace; he could have simply kept her by his side.
Therefore, a person's success requires support from all aspects.
"Jiaojiao, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing her frowning, Emperor Kangxi assumed she was unwell and quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Harigana nodded: "Yes, I'm not feeling well."
After saying that, she reached out and pointed to his heart: "I feel uncomfortable here."
Emperor Kangxi panicked instantly: "Li Dequan, go and summon the imperial physician."
Harigana's old ailment was her heart, and the thought that her old ailment might have relapsed terrified her.
"No need, no need!"
She hurriedly lifted the curtain and finished speaking, then covered Kangxi's mouth, saying, "I'm fine, don't worry, can you let me finish?"
Harigana realized he had gone too far with the joke and quickly said, "I just feel uncomfortable when you say I'm very smart, it's not a compliment. I don't like hearing that word."
My heart condition hasn't relapsed, so don't worry.
Xuan Ye, I was wrong. I will never joke like that again.
Kangxi's face darkened, and he wanted to scold her, but she looked at him with pitiful eyes, her little hands tugging at his collar and acting coquettishly. No matter what he wanted to say, he couldn't bring himself to utter the words of scolding.
"Xuan Ye, say something."
If he keeps acting cute, Harigana doesn't believe he can resist.
Sure enough, after she said her second sentence, Kangxi's expression improved, but his hand was already on her slender waist: "Harigana, are you trying to scare me to death so you can inherit the throne?"
Harigana immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, the throne is nothing special. It's exhausting every day. What would I do with the throne?"
You're the best. Having you is all I need.
Emperor Kangxi was now unsure whether to be happy or angry.
His beloved said he didn't want the throne, which proves that he is more important than the throne.
But the phrase "working himself to death every day" doesn't sound very nice, and it always feels like his throne is being disliked.
"Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye brother, Ai brother, Kangxi brother, Emperor brother... Luo brother."
Harigana would kiss him on the lips for every word she said, and she used more than a dozen different names for him until she finally called him "Brother Luo." Kangxi couldn't resist and grabbed her neck to kiss her.
It's better to keep her mouth shut since she's not very good at speaking.
Forget about the others, he likes the Emperor the most.
But calling him "Brother Luo" sounds awful.
For the first time, Emperor Kangxi felt that the surname Aisin Gioro sounded nice when put together, but quite unpleasant when separated.
Harigana did not resist, enduring Kangxi's forceful kisses, and soon collapsed into his arms.
"Jiaojiao".
He only let go of her when he felt that the person in his arms was having difficulty breathing.
"Don't joke with me about your body anymore, or I'll take it seriously."
He helped her wipe the glistening tears from the corner of her mouth: "Without you, I wouldn't be able to live on my own."
Harigana admitted that he was moved by Kangxi's words at that moment.
If an emperor can say these things, whether sincerely or not, the fact that he can say them proves that he truly thought so.
But the emotion only lasted for a short while, until my breathing became even and my mind began to calm down.
We must never let our guard down until the very last moment.
She will only truly trust Kangxi when he abdicates and travels with her, no longer interfering in state affairs.
Even if he issues an imperial edict to make Yinfu the crown prince, she will not let her guard down.
As long as the imperial seal was in Kangxi's hands, it could be established or abolished at will.
The matter of Yinreng is still fresh in my mind. The emperor's decree said that it could not be revoked, but in the end it was just a matter of his mood.
In short, what she needed to do was win over Kangxi's heart and not hold her two children back.
Now that Yinfu and Bayalige are three years old, she must take Kangxi away from the palace in ten years at most.
Give her son and daughter a free environment, free from the control and constant fear of Emperor Kangxi.
"Xuan Ye, don't talk nonsense. I still want to live a long and healthy life with you."
When you turn one hundred, you must pamper me and hold me in your arms just like you do now, okay?
Harigana hugged Kangxi's waist, buried his head in his chest, and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Xuan Ye, I know I'm stupid, so I can't live without you."
"If you're not here, I'll be bullied to death."
Kangxi sensed her dependence on him, and the way her hands were tightening around him showed that she was afraid of losing him, so he quickly began to comfort her.
"Jiaojiao, I will always be with you."
Moreover, my Jiaojiao is very smart, not stupid at all.
"Don't think about those things."
Harigana nodded, said nothing, and held him tightly around the waist, nuzzling against his chest like a kitten.
