Yinreng looked at his elder brother with some disdain, but still took the two of them back to Yuqing Palace and unilaterally decided that the three of them would stay together that night to prevent anyone from letting something slip.
"Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"
Harigana glanced at him, then waved the book in his hand without saying a word.
When Kangxi returned after dealing with Yinti, he was in high spirits, but seeing her like this, his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Dulan and Xiao Lizi standing beside her, but both of them had their heads down and weren't even looking at him.
"You may all leave!"
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
Harigana remained silent, his arm resting on the low table, his chin propped up as he looked at the book in his hands.
However, his mind wasn't on the book; he was thinking about what to do later!
Kangxi took the book from her hands, pulled her into his arms, and gently kissed her red lips: "Jiaojiao, what did I do wrong to make you angry? Hmm?"
Harigana wiped her mouth, looked at him with a wronged expression, her eyes full of accusation.
"Don't you have someone with you? Shouldn't I make room for you?"
Emperor Kangxi was taken aback, not expecting that Lady Uya would find out so quickly after only spending a short time in the Imperial Study.
Seeing her pouting and looking so aggrieved, I was secretly delighted.
Thinking to herself: I need to get the secret guards to investigate the Uya clan as soon as possible. If the crime is minor, I'll leave her a place for the sake of Yinzhen and Yinzuo. If the crime is serious, then I'll send her to the cold palace.
Ultimately, high-ranking concubines need stability and a lack of ambition!
Otherwise, neither the imperial court nor the harem will be at peace!
"Jiaojiao, tomorrow is Xiao Si's birthday. Wuya came to see me today and said that this is the first time she has celebrated Xiao Si's birthday, so she wanted to ask me to come over!"
Before Kangxi could finish speaking, Harigana deflated and muttered reluctantly, "I know, go ahead! But you must come back tonight, understand?" After saying that, she grabbed his braid, her face full of a little expression that said: If you don't agree, I'll cry for you.
"Jiaojiao, why won't you come with me?"
Harigana was taken aback. Could it really be like this?
If she really went to Yonghe Palace, wouldn't Lady Wuya be furious?
However, it didn't matter to her who was angry; she was actually quite curious to see Wuya's expression!
"Would it be appropriate for me to go? You're all a family, why would I go?"
Harigana glared at Kangxi, but the frustration on his face had lessened considerably!
Kangxi was deeply fond of the girl who wore her heart on her sleeve, making it easy for him to read her thoughts at a glance.
"Jiaojiao, just stay with me, okay?"
Seeing the person in his arms whimpering, he finally made a decision.
The next day, Yonghe Palace was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Starting last night, Uya ordered people to clean up Yonghe Palace. Under the watchful eyes of the secret guards, she even secretly made some tampering.
"Your Majesty, you look beautiful in this outfit!"
The maid had a sweet tongue, which prompted Uya to reward her with a silver ingot.
"You can go out now!"
The maid left happily, leaving only Uya and her wet nurse in the room.
"Is everything ready?"
The wet nurse naturally knew what Uya was talking about, and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for the Emperor to arrive so we can have a proper birthday banquet for the Fourth Prince!"
Uya nodded in satisfaction, then fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, her eyes gleaming with determination!
Harigana's belly was already quite noticeable; even the wide-cut qipao couldn't hide it anymore, revealing a small bulge.
"Jiaojiao, let's go!"
Kangxi took her hand and led her onto the imperial carriage, followed by Yinreng and others.
The young eunuch from Yonghe Palace had been waiting on the official road. When he saw the emperor's dragon carriage, he turned around and ran back without thinking, completely unaware of Harigana sitting on the dragon carriage and the several young princes behind him.
Lady Uya stood early at the entrance of Yonghe Palace, holding Yinzhen's hand, while Yinzuo was being held by his wet nurse.
But when he saw Harigana on the imperial carriage and Yinreng and the others behind him, he was completely dismayed!
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine!"
Uya was so angry she wanted to kill that little eunuch, but despite her inner turmoil, she showed no sign of it on her face!
"Get up!"
As Kangxi spoke, he did not look at her, but turned around and helped Harigana down from the imperial carriage.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen had only seen Harigana from afar before, so he didn't have a deep impression of her now. However, upon hearing Uya call her Consort, he respectfully greeted her, saying, "Greetings to my Consort Mother!"
Emperor Kangxi nodded in satisfaction and led Harigana directly into Yonghe Palace.
Lady Wuya dared not say more, and followed behind the two of them, holding Yinzhen's hand.
The wet nurse was also surprised by this situation, as she had not received any prior notice.
When Kangxi entered the main hall, he did not see any tables set up, and immediately began to suspect something.
"Let's prepare the meal!"
She helped Harigana sit down, then called Yinzhen over: "Little Fourth, come here! Your mother has prepared a gift for you!"
Yinzhen glanced at Wuya standing beside him, and only walked over after receiving her consent.
"Little Si, come here!"
Harigana looked at the adorable Yinzhen and wanted to reach out and touch his chubby little face, but he managed to hold back!
There are no surveillance cameras at this time, so if something happens later, she won't be able to explain herself no matter how hard she tries!
But this is the historical Emperor Yongzheng! Now, this tiny little guy in front of her feels really good!
"My dear mother!"
Yinzhen stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, looking at Harigana, then blushed and dared not look at her again.
Emperor Kangxi noticed Yinzhen's little expression and immediately burst out laughing!
"Li Dequan, bring it here!"
Although Harigana said he was sending something, he didn't have his own people deliver it. Instead, he handed it to Li Dequan in front of Emperor Kangxi when he came out. He even jokingly asked if he should find an imperial physician to take a look, but ended up being bullied for a long time.
Li Dequan, holding the tray, walked to Kangxi's side, took the contents of the tray, and handed them to Yinzhen.
"This is a gift from your esteemed mother. Do you like it?"
Harigana did not make a move, but just looked at Yinzhen with a smile.
Looking at the two of them, especially Kangxi's actions, Wuya felt a burning pain on her face!
Thinking about how she had dressed up so carefully, only to end up like this, not even getting a second glance from the emperor, she felt increasingly annoyed!
