Following the Empress Dowager outside, I wondered if something had happened to Saenjiya, but after hearing her words, my face immediately turned bright red.
"Mother!"
Harigana looked at the Empress Dowager with a flushed face: "It was an accident, it really was an accident."
He explained verbally, but dared not look her in the eye.
No one is to blame but themselves for being too careless.
Emperor Kangxi liked to hold her, and she indulged him in doing so.
It's normal for Beibei to learn from what she sees since she's young.
“Your mother and I have already spoken to Beibei, so please don’t mention Beibei anymore.”
The child is young, so you should be careful about some things yourselves.
The Empress Dowager's face also turned slightly red, but for the sake of her child's healthy growth, she had to speak even though she was embarrassed.
"Yes! Don't worry, Mother, we will be careful."
After seeing the Empress Dowager off, he jogged back to the Imperial Study and rushed towards Emperor Kangxi.
"Xuan Ye!"
She grabbed his collar and shook him back and forth: "You're so shameful!"
Kangxi was startled by her movement and tried to pick her up and put her on his lap, but her hand was pushed away: "In the future, you shouldn't hug me anymore."
Upon hearing her words, the man's face immediately darkened.
What do you mean by not holding her? Why can't I?
What wrong thing did he do this time?
Or did the Empress Dowager say something that made her resistant?
A thousand guesses filled my mind until I heard, "Your good daughter is going to massage my mother's shoulders."
Kangxi's expression froze, and he immediately thought of what happened yesterday, his face turning red.
No wonder the Empress Dowager summoned her outside alone; it was indeed not a good idea to discuss such matters with him.
"Jiaojiao, it's alright, it's alright. Mother and the others are overjoyed."
This proves we have a good relationship, right?
Qiang made up an excuse to comfort her, afraid that he would never be able to hold such a delicate person again.
Before Harigana could react, he had already pulled Harigana onto his lap.
"Jiaojiao, just ask Li Dequan and the others to be more careful in the future, and no one will come in to bother you again."
Harigana pouted, clutched his collar, buried her face in his chest, and dared not look at him.
"Alright, alright, Beibei is still little, she'll be fine when she grows up."
I'll find them both good teachers these next few days to learn etiquette properly.
He gently stroked her back, carefully coaxing her.
What Bao Bao and Bei Bei didn't know was that Kangxi hadn't originally planned to find them a governess, thinking he would wait until they were older.
However, after this incident, Kangxi immediately changed his mind.
Not only should we learn, but we should learn well.
"Yes! I know."
Harigana knew that Kangxi was afraid she would lecture Beibei, so he was just making excuses to coax her.
It wasn't until she saw the governess that she realized that Kangxi's favorite was actually her.
Even though he usually seems very loving towards Beibei, his heart still leans towards her when it comes to things related to her.
"Mother, Beibei, I'm tired."
Bayalige attended three days of lessons with Yinfu, and on the fourth day, he came to find Harigana early in the morning and started to act coquettishly in her arms.
She remembered that Emperor Kangxi had said that she could rest whenever she was tired and didn't need to continue studying.
"Beibei, don't you want to learn anymore?"
Emperor Kangxi happened to be returning from court when he heard what she said.
“Ama, Beibei, tired.”
She reached out her little hands wanting a hug, and Kangxi naturally picked her up.
Harigana didn't speak; she didn't want to get involved in such a matter, leaving it to him, her father.
"Okay! Then Beibei won't have to learn anymore, but if you don't learn, you won't be able to stay in the same courtyard as your brother."
"Your brother needs to study; if you don't study, you'll disturb him."
Harigana looked at Kangxi in disbelief, never expecting that he would trick his own daughter.
He knew how clingy Bayalige was to Yinfu, and now she was saying that if she didn't study, she wouldn't be allowed to be with Yinfu. Wasn't that trying to kill her?
Sure enough, upon hearing Kangxi's words, Beibei pouted and was about to cry, but Kangxi spoke first: "Look, your brother is working very hard. If you disturb your brother, then your brother will become a silly little fool who can't do anything."
Beibei's eyes darted back and forth, her hands clenched together around Kangxi's neck, as if she was considering how to choose.
Neither Kangxi nor Harigana spoke, waiting for her reply.
After a long while, the little girl finally couldn't bear to part with her brother: "Father, Beibei, study."
"I want my brother to come along."
Kangxi looked at Beibei with a face full of surprise: "Beibei is amazing, just as good as her brother."
Harigana covered her face, thinking, "That scoundrel's skill at fooling people is just unbelievable."
Seeing her daughter overjoyed after being praised by her father, she finally understood how Kangxi and the Empress Dowager felt when she was comforting Xiao Wu that day.
And so, at such a young age, Bao Bao and Bei Bei began to learn.
The two children are indeed very smart. After studying for a month, they can not only recognize simple characters, but also write their own names.
Although it wasn't very well written, it shocked both the imperial court and the harem.
After Baoli returned, the two of them had another student, Keye, who was learning riding and archery from Guoluomafa.
Now, the two of them were even busier.
"Xuan Ye, should we let them both rest for a bit?"
Looking at her son and daughter, who were spinning like tops, Harigana felt a pang of heartache.
Beibei is doing well; she is diligent in her studies. Although her master is strict, she is, after all, a little princess, and he doesn't treat her as harshly as he would a prince.
But the baby is different; he's been suffering a bit lately.
"Jiaojiao, I'll talk to Master tomorrow and ask him not to teach so intensively during this period."
But we can't rest. They've worked so hard to get where they are now; we can't hold them back.
Harigana still felt a little heartbroken, but the children were having a great time, and Emperor Kangxi was very supportive, so she could only pay more attention to their food and clothing.
"Alright, Mother came to the palace today and said that Abu means that we don't need to go to the horse riding and archery for the time being, it's too cold."
Kangxi nodded: "Alright, I'll listen to you, Abu."
It's getting close to the Lunar New Year, and it's really cold.
He sat on the bed, holding her in his arms, and gently stroked her hair: "Jiaojiao, this is the third year you've been with me."
Time flies, and before we knew it, we were about to celebrate our third New Year together.
"Yes, it's been three years."
Leaning against the man, it felt warm and cozy.
"Xuan Ye, Zhao Rongxi is coming over tomorrow. Can you come back after court?"
It's been almost half a year, why hasn't anything happened?
It has been half a year since Kangxi stopped taking the medicine, and she still hasn't gotten pregnant.
Judging from their frequency, they should have had it by now.
The fact that she was able to give birth before proves that there is nothing wrong with her body.
If it weren't for the side effects of that medicine, would Emperor Kangxi have died?
"Jiaojiao!"
Seeing her ever-changing expressions and her occasional glances, Kangxi was reluctant to admit it, but he was certain he understood her thoughts.
The expression couldn't have been clearer.
"ah?"
Harigana snapped out of her daze, looked at Kangxi with an unfriendly gaze, and froze. Could it be that she had spoken her mind?
