Before returning to Qingxi Palace, Kangxi first went to Cining Palace.
No matter how things turn out, the Empress Dowager is getting old, and he still needs to show her respect when it's time to do so.
However, when they reached the entrance of Cining Palace, Sumalagu stopped them, saying that the Empress Dowager was already resting.
"Aunt Su Ma, I'll head back now. I'll come see my grandmother again when I have time."
Watching the emperor walk away, Sumalagu sighed.
The Emperor is such a smart man, how could he not understand that the Empress Dowager does not want to see him?
He shook his head, turned and went into the inner hall to report what the emperor had said to the Empress Dowager.
"I understand. You may leave now!"
"Yes! This servant takes his leave!"
Seeing the Empress Dowager's exhausted appearance, Su Ma La Gu felt very bad, and she must be feeling very guilty right now.
After all, Borjigit's actions were not only due to Tongjia, but also because she instructed him behind the scenes.
Otherwise, given Borjigit's audacity, he would never have done such a thing, even if he were beaten to death.
"Li Dequan, go to the Imperial Hospital and make sure that the Empress Dowager comes to check her pulse every day, and that any abnormalities are reported immediately."
As they walked along the palace path, Kangxi gave instructions to Li Dequan.
Although the Empress Dowager couldn't get over her resentment, and although he was already disappointed in her.
But she was ultimately someone who helped him a great deal; in fact, without the Empress Dowager protecting him from the storms of life, his throne would not have been secure.
But gratitude is one thing, compromise is another.
Harigana is his woman, and he will never give her up, nor will he allow her to suffer any injustice.
He was the one who started this whole thing, so he should be the one suffering in this situation.
Ultimately, the Empress Dowager was too selfish; she wanted to control an emperor's life.
Even if he were extremely grateful, he wouldn't repay it with a lifetime of happiness.
"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant obeys the decree!"
Li Dequan bowed, and after Kangxi entered the Qingxi Palace, he turned around and went to the Imperial Hospital.
Harigana had already gotten up and was now playing with the two children.
"Baby, look how nice your little sister is, all all smiles."
Why don't you smile?
Um?
Why are you imitating your father, the Emperor?
Learn from your mother!
Kangxi knew that when he was away, Harigana would definitely speak ill of him.
"Jiaojiao!"
Harigana turned his head and glanced at him, then continued to play with the child, ignoring him.
Kangxi touched his nose, and Dulan and the others bowed and withdrew.
"Jiaojiao, are you still feeling unwell?"
He walked to the bedside and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"Shut up! There's a child here, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Harigana rolled his eyes at him, brushed his hand away, and muttered under his breath, "Like a wolf, never seen meat before!"
Kangxi chuckled and said that it was not wrong to call him a wolf; he also felt that he had been like a hungry wolf yesterday.
I wanted to say that you were delicious, but I swallowed the words back, afraid of upsetting you.
"Jiaojiao, don't be angry, I'll be gentler next time!"
He moved closer to her, lowered his head, and gently kissed her forehead, coaxing her.
"Hmph! That sounds nice, but I'd never believe a word you say!"
Harigana just wanted him to coax her; she wasn't really angry, and besides, you can't really get angry about something like this.
"Xuan Ye, look how much they resemble each other!"
When Kangxi heard her change the subject, he immediately went along with her and stopped saying those annoying things.
"Jiaojiao, don't worry."
It's fine for siblings to look alike, but it's problematic if brothers look very similar.
Ordinary people might not care, but in the royal family, having a brother who looks very similar to you is a big taboo.
It can be said that these two people were completely out of the running for the throne.
Fortunately, his daughter is pregnant. Although they look very similar, they are twins, so there's no need to worry about that.
"Yeah! I'm not worried about that, I just think it's a lot of fun."
And look at your daughter, she's already so naughty now, I don't know how much of a headache she'll cause you when she grows up.
Look at your son, he's clearly a boy, but he's much quieter than his sister.
Do you think their reincarnations were reversed?
Kangxi patted her shoulder lightly, his voice tinged with displeasure: "Jiaojiao, wouldn't it be better if our daughter were more lively?"
Boys need to be more mature and steady; only then can they achieve great things in the future.
Harigana pursed his lips. If he likes it, that's fine. Let's wait and see how much of a headache he'll have later.
"I just went to Cining Palace!"
While Emperor Kangxi was playing with his daughter, he was honestly reporting his itinerary.
"How is the Empress Dowager? Is she still angry?"
Harigana sat up straight, watching the protest?
"I didn't see her, so I guess she's still angry."
"But don't worry, I've sent Li Dequan to the Imperial Hospital to check her pulse every day from now on."
Harigana didn't say anything, and she wouldn't actually say anything like that about going to the Cining Palace to apologize.
In fact, she thinks it's a good thing, at least she can behave herself for a long time.
Moreover, once that agate is dealt with, the Khorchin will soon receive the news, and the Empress Dowager's hard days are yet to come.
"Yes! It would be best to have the imperial physician keep a close eye on things so that any problems can be detected immediately."
After chatting for a while, the two children got sleepy and asked the wet nurse to carry them to the side hall to sleep.
"Jiaojiao!"
