The Prefect of the Capital felt that he was about to lose his official position!
"Sir, yes, it was your brother-in-law who covered it up."
Upon hearing his attendant's words, the Prefect of the Capital was furious.
I said from the beginning that the man wasn't doing things properly, and as a result, his wife started crying and making a scene, even threatening suicide.
Unexpectedly, in less than three months, he had gotten himself into such a mess, and it was directly related to the Empress's personal maid.
Now that the Duke and Duchess have passed away, this matter can no longer be kept secret.
He narrowed his eyes. Since they weren't behaving themselves, he wouldn't be ruthless.
When Li Dequan went to find the refugees to ask about the situation, Sai Enjiya and Baoliri had already asked them clearly and thoroughly, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, the bandits were rampant in the mountains, and the officials did not report it.
Now, the emperor was quite angry.
Thinking of the shouts and curses he heard when he came out, he shook his head inwardly: The fire was huge!
Emperor Kangxi did indeed get to soak in the hot spring he had been longing for, but it was a vegetarian one.
"Jiaojiao, are you still angry?"
Holding the person in his arms, his voice was full of flattery.
Harigana rolled his eyes at him: "You're really getting more and more capricious these days. Can't you remember that you're an emperor at all times?"
Having received forgiveness, Kangxi dared not anger the person in his arms any further and immediately nodded: "Okay, I will definitely be more careful in the future."
On the second day of his rest day, Emperor Kangxi, unusually, slept until dawn while holding Harigana.
However, he was the one who woke up first, got up and practiced his kung fu for a while, before calling Li Dequan over for questioning.
"I'll hand this over to Prince Kang later and tell him that he must successfully suppress the bandits before the end of the year and give the people justice."
The rest of the matters are to be handled by Zhang Ying.
Tell him that absolutely no one should be let off the hook.
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
Li Dequan withdrew, and Kangxi returned to the inner palace. He looked at Harigana, who was still sleeping, and sat down beside her to look at the sketchbook she had hidden away.
I don't know where Dulan got these sketchbooks from. At first, I was just curious about what she was looking at.
But he later discovered that many of the stories in the book were about the real lives of ordinary people, so he has now developed the habit of reading her remaining sketchbooks.
When Harigana woke up, Kangxi had almost finished reading a book.
"Jiaojiao!"
He put down his sketchbook and bent down to tidy the hair that was still stuck to her face: "Would you like some water?"
"want!"
Following his force, I sat up and leaned against the headboard, waiting for Kangxi's water. Looking at the book lying face down to the side, I knew he had been reading it again.
Fortunately, she would secretly read and destroy any books she found useful; otherwise, given his reading speed, he would have discovered the connection sooner or later.
"Thank you, Xuan Ye!"
After finishing my water, I leaned against him and lay there lazily. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I decided to linger a little longer.
Kangxi chuckled, tucked the blanket around him, and half-embraced the person as he continued watching the finale.
Harigana thought of the fields he had seen yesterday and a thought struck him: "Xuan Ye, why can't we plant in winter?"
"If people can build houses, why can't we build houses for vegetables?"
Kangxi paused, his eyes shifting from confusion to shock; the book in his hand no longer held any appeal.
"Jiaojiao, I knew you were my lucky star!"
He gave her a big kiss on the cheek, then scooped her up and started dressing her.
"Jiaojiao, let's go back to the capital first. I need to discuss this matter with the Ministry of Revenue. It's winter now, so if possible, we should get it done as soon as possible."
If you manage to grow it, you'll be the first vegetable you eat!
Harigana looked clearly disappointed; she just wanted to remind her that she hadn't mentioned she liked to eat it.
Looking at her adorable face, Kangxi couldn't help but laugh.
"When we eat hot pot, how about you have a bite or two of meat and a bite of vegetables?"
"Oh! Fine! I was really being cheeky!"
He said it deliberately, and Kangxi shook his head after hearing it: "You!"
On the way back, Kangxi was very excited, as if he had already succeeded in conducting an experiment rather than going to do one.
Harigana did not return to the palace with him; since he was going to the Qianqing Palace, she went directly to the Duke's mansion.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager also went to the Duke's mansion early in the morning with her two children; she wanted to see her two little darlings.
"You're back?"
The Empress Dowager glanced at the people who had recently arrived and looked at her with amusement.
"Mother, shall we take you both with us next time?"
Seneja immediately shook her head; she wanted to live longer.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the emperor usually treats them with utmost respect. He is the emperor, and no one dares to use his things.
The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Never mind, I'll take care of the child for you."
Harigana blushed and quickly changed the subject, asking Sainziya about what happened yesterday.
"Alas! They are all people with tragic fates!"
After the Empress Dowager finished listening, she said something, and the three of them said nothing more.
After having dinner at the Duke's mansion, they leisurely returned to the palace.
Actually, Harigana didn't really want to go back, but in the end, the Empress Dowager said, "You should go back quickly, otherwise the Emperor will come looking for you, and we'll all have to go back!" Then she was helped onto the carriage by two maids!
I'm so angry!
This time, the Empress Dowager stayed at the Duke's mansion with her three children for three days and had a great time.
When I came back, I brought her some candied hawthorns, which made her mouth twitch.
She's not a child, does she need to be coaxed with food?
Emperor Kangxi was very busy during this period, and he would tell her about each progress made in the planting.
