Emperor Kangxi only learned of the discussions at the Duke's residence a few days later, and upon hearing the comforting report, he felt somewhat disappointed.
If his mother were still alive, she would probably like Harigana very much and get along well with Saenjiya.
Moreover, he was very fortunate that Yinfu had such a good maternal family.
Compared to Hesheli, it's like comparing heaven and earth.
If Yinreng's maternal family had been like Baoli Ri's, he wouldn't be in his current predicament.
However, Kangxi was unaware of what was happening there and was leading Harigana toward the palace banquet.
The two children were taken away by Yinti and Yinzhi early on, who said they were going to play at the palace banquet.
"Xuan Ye, do you want to go and check on Yinreng?"
It was also due to her carelessness that she forgot that Yinreng's birthday was yesterday.
I may not like it, but she's the Empress now, so she should think about these things.
If Dulan hadn't quietly told her about Emperor Kangxi offering incense to Empress Hesheli yesterday, she would have completely forgotten about it.
"Let's wait a few days."
After saying that, she looked at Harigana and thought that she must know about what happened yesterday. It must have been that damned Dulan talking nonsense again.
"Jiaojiao, it's me,"
I want to explain, but I don't know how.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Harigana sighed, waved his hand, and gestured for those around him to step back.
"Xuan Ye!"
There were no outsiders around, but her voice was still not loud. She spoke to him at a volume that only the two of them could hear: "I won't be angry because you are sentimental and not an ungrateful person."
I've heard about your hardships from your mother, and I know that Hesheli is special to you because she was there for you during your difficult times and risked her life to give birth to Yinreng.
If I can't even tolerate someone who's been dead for so many years, am I even human?
Kangxi was immediately relieved. He hadn't told her yesterday because he was afraid she would overthink it.
Hesheli was indeed different; it wasn't out of liking, but out of respect.
"Jiaojiao!"
Harigana waved his hand, stopping him from continuing: "Well, I am petty."
But there are things to consider. I know who you like now and who you have in your heart, so there's no need to explain.
I won't get involved, nor do I want to know, but I won't be angry either.
It's all the same old stuff, and the more we talk about it, the heavier it gets.
Kangxi tightened his grip on her hand, but didn't say anything more, though he was still happy.
His beloved daughter truly understands him.
"Come on, it's your birthday today, cheer up."
"Besides, I missed it last year, so this year I'm going to see what the emperor's birthday celebration is really like."
Emperor Kangxi was amused by her cute appearance and pinched her cheek: "I didn't care much about the Emperor's birthday celebration before, but now I suddenly don't like it anymore."
Harigana looked at him in confusion: "Why?"
After asking the question, she realized what she had said and burst out laughing, showing him no respect whatsoever.
What a jerk! He's disgusted with his own age.
Emperor Kangxi was furious.
He was genuinely worried, but he never expected this brat to make fun of him.
If the occasion had allowed, he would have punished him severely.
"Xuan Ye!"
Harigana laughed for a while, then tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "You're amazing, you're not old at all, don't worry."
Kangxi's face flushed instantly; this was the first time she had ever praised someone like that.
For no apparent reason, my face turned red.
"Jiaojiao, I'll make you pay tonight."
Harigana raised an eyebrow and said fearlessly, "Okay, I'll be waiting."
The palace banquet went very smoothly, with singing and dancing filling the air and everyone enjoying themselves immensely.
After Emperor Kangxi bestowed titles upon several court officials and concubines, the matter was concluded.
However, the title was decided by the Imperial Household Department, and Li Dequan made all the decisions; the emperor had no say in the matter.
Even the imperial edicts were drafted by the Imperial Household Department, inspected by Li Dequan, and finally stamped with the imperial seal by Emperor Kangxi after consulting him.
It wasn't until the palace banquet ended and he returned to Qingxi Palace, intending to deal with the person, that he learned why she dared to provoke him like that.
"Jiaojiao, you did this on purpose."
Looking at the swelling beneath him, Kangxi's face was filled with resentment and disbelief.
Why do we need this "little life" thing? His benefits are gone.
Today is his birthday, and he's celebrating it bare-chested. How hateful!
"Hahaha!"
Harigana, clutching her blanket, looked at him with her bare shoulders exposed, laughing unrestrainedly.
Seeing him staring at her hands, she immediately said, "Baby and Beibei wanted to eat the chili peppers on my table, so I dipped my fingertip in a little bit for them to taste."
However, I've forgotten which hand it was.
Provocation, absolute provocation.
Kangxi was so angry that he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and prepared to take a cold shower. Halfway there, he turned around, stood by the bed, put his hands on his hips, and pointed at her: "You, you, I, you will have your day. Just you wait."
Harigana doesn't matter; as long as it makes him suffer once, that's good enough.
Even without this incident, Kangxi still wouldn't have let her off the hook, so let's all suffer together.
Moreover, the effects of his medication will wear off in two months, and then what will he do if she gets pregnant?
Watching Kangxi take a shower, then putting on her nightgown and lying on the bed looking at her sketchbook and waiting for someone.
I hadn't even finished reading half of the sketchbook when the person who went to take a shower came back.
"So fast?"
Before she could finish speaking, Kangxi turned her over and kissed her directly.
Fifteen minutes later, her face flushed, she looked at the refreshed man, clutched her chest, and angrily bit him.
That scoundrel! She clearly hid that sketchbook, but he still found it and even learned how to use it.
"Sweetie, I'll go get some water to wipe you down."
His eyes were full of smugness, and he didn't care at all about biting him.
"snort!"
Emperor Kangxi brought back water and carefully helped wipe it clean, changing the water three times before he was satisfied.
What if I want to eat it?
It's better to wipe it clean.
She took a clean bib and helped the person put it on, then happily hugged and comforted them.
Harigana blushed and remained silent, her chest burning with pain, and she was in no mood for anything.
Moreover, she lost all face.
That's right, I looked at it too closely. Even with my eyes closed, the scene from just now keeps replaying in my mind and I can't shake it off.
"sleep!"
Unable to stand his nagging, she finally said something.
"Okay, I'll put Jiaojiao to sleep."
Kangxi smiled smugly, gently patting her shoulder with great patience.
For the next few days, Harigana wrapped herself up tightly, giving him no chance to cause any more trouble.
Kangxi didn't want to tease him anymore and obediently held him and went to sleep.
Because he secretly lifted the lid while Harigana was asleep, he took a peek, and it was a little red and swollen, probably because he used too much force.
I quietly got up and applied some ointment to reduce the swelling before I felt relieved.
