Li Dequan was initially laughing happily, but he became unhappy when he saw the purse at the emperor's waist.
No wonder the Emperor was standing so straight just now; he wanted to show off his purse.
The Empress really dotes on the Emperor, doing several things a year without ever getting tired.
He pursed his lips and quietly retreated. He needed to go and chat with Dulan; it was time to get a new wallet.
"Jiaojiao, you really are my lucky star."
Harigana had just given him the purse when news of victory arrived from the border.
Isn't this a double celebration?
“Xuan Ye, what does this have to do with me? It’s all thanks to Prince Kang and Dai Zi.”
Kangxi shook his head; he still firmly believed that Harigana was his lucky star.
However, he wouldn't put pressure on her. He knew what he was doing and didn't need anyone else's approval.
"Jiaojiao, let the Empress Dowager organize the welcoming banquet."
Previously, it was always the Empress Dowager who did it, and Harigana had absolutely no experience with it.
And I don't want her to work so hard; there's plenty of time in the future, she can learn slowly.
"Okay, go tell Mother I'm not going."
Harigana could imagine how unpleasant the Empress Dowager's expression would be; if she were to speak up, she would surely be scolded for being lazy.
Let Kangxi go; if he gets scolded, he'll be the one to get scolded.
"Alright, I'll go after court tomorrow."
Just as Harigana had predicted, when the Empress Dowager learned that she still had to organize the victory banquet, she almost couldn't help but scold Emperor Kangxi.
She stood up, glaring at him angrily: "Xuan Ye, why don't you just send the seal over to me?"
I thought Kangxi would disagree, but he said, "Mother, I'll have Jiaojiao bring it to you tomorrow."
Harigana was the empress, and a empress deeply favored by the emperor. Even without the seal, no one dared to underestimate her.
The Empress Dowager was even angrier. These two had planned this all along, hadn't they?
Fortunately, she was in good health. If it had been an empress dowager with poor health, would they have dared to be so arrogant?
"Hurry up and leave! I need to leave the palace!"
No, she had to drag Saenjiya out for a ride to vent her frustrations, otherwise she'd be driven crazy by the Emperor and Empress sooner or later.
"Xuan Ye takes his leave!"
Kangxi stood up and left without hesitation, which made the Empress Dowager even angrier.
"One or two of them are really a headache."
He grumbled as he returned to the inner palace, changed his clothes, and left the palace without wasting any time.
He didn't return until the palace gates were about to be locked at night.
He left in a huff, but when he came back, he was coaxed into a happy mood by Sai Enjia, who even brought some snacks for Yinqi.
"Go and deliver the food that was specially brought for the Empress Dowager to Cining Palace."
Lying in bed, I felt a little tired and didn't really want to move.
"I'm really getting old!"
I let out a soft sigh, closed my eyes, and began to take a short nap.
Meanwhile, in the Qingxi Palace, Emperor Kangxi was arguing with Harigana about taking medicine.
"Jiaojiao, how about I have another one? We can have another baby next year."
The birth control pills had already expired, but he felt he hadn't eaten enough meat. If he really got pregnant, he would have to be a monk for another year.
He considered eating it secretly, but if he got caught, he would be scolded.
After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to persuade Harigana.
"No way! It will be another six months before the effects of the medicine wear off. What if I really get pregnant by then? I'll be stuck with a belly in the middle of summer."
Pregnant women tend to feel hot, so it's good to be pregnant in winter.
It's so hot in the summer, it would be very painful for her to be pregnant.
That scoundrel of a man is always so unrestrained in his thoughts. Luckily, he didn't take drugs in secret, otherwise I would never let him off the hook.
"All right!"
When Kangxi heard her say that he shouldn't carry a pregnant belly in the summer, even though he was unhappy, he had no reason to refuse.
Now all he can do is pray that the baby will come a little later.
"Okay! I'll have Zhao Rongxi take your pulse tomorrow, and I'll also take a look and hear what he has to say."
Having children is a necessity, so she should have them early, while she's still young.
If the age gap between children is smaller, there will be no barrier between them.
Her plan was to have three sons.
One daughter is enough, but we need more sons.
Unlike others, her family has a throne to inherit.
Even among three cobblers, there's bound to be one who's brilliant.
Since she has become empress, the throne must come from her womb.
"Okay! I'll listen to Jiaojiao."
Kangxi no longer refused, but he couldn't help feeling worried.
Since returning to the palace with him, Harigana has fainted several times, and her hidden ailment is slowly getting better.
But pregnancy and childbirth are very dangerous things, and he was afraid that something might happen.
That evening, Emperor Kangxi unusually refrained from bothering Harigana and instead held her quietly, coaxing her to sleep.
The next day, Zhao Rongxi was summoned to Qingxi Palace early in the morning.
"How is the Empress's health?"
Kangxi saw Zhao Rongxi turn his hand back and quickly asked a question.
Although he would check Ping An's pulse every two days, he would anxiously ask follow-up questions each time, fearing that his old illness might have relapsed.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is in good health, and the chance of her old illness recurring is very small."
Unless subjected to a major shock, she won't faint again.
In fact, Zhao Rongxi was not worried at all about Harigana's old illness recurring, after all, he was blessed by God and a lucky person.
Putting aside the fact that he couldn't diagnose anything before, he has really put his heart into treating her over the past two years, trying dozens of different medicinal diets.
If the condition relapses even after this treatment, it must be because the Emperor did something to upset the Empress.
Emperor Kangxi was unaware of Zhao Rongxi's thoughts at that moment; had he known, he would have surely executed Zhao Rongxi's entire family.
To dare to discuss the emperor is a capital offense.
"Imperial Physician Zhao, please examine His Majesty."
Zhao Rongxi hurriedly stepped forward to take Kangxi's pulse, but his expression turned somewhat unnatural upon doing so.
"What's wrong?"
Harigana noticed the change in his expression and his heart skipped a beat.
I just had my pulse checked a few days ago, so it shouldn't be anything serious.
But if it's not a big problem, why does he look like that?
"Your Majesty, you can eat a lighter diet recently."
"I will prescribe you two doses of medicine to reduce the heat, and you will feel better after taking them."
After Zhao Rongxi finished speaking, he lowered his head.
He seemed to have discovered a tremendous secret: how long had the Emperor been holding back his anger?
Harigana's face immediately turned bright red, and even the tips of Kangxi's ears turned slightly red.
"Get out!"
Zhao Rongxi didn't even bother to tidy up his medicine box; he just grabbed the pulse pillow, stuffed it in haphazardly, picked it up, and left.
"puff!"
Although Harigana was shy, she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the man with his eyes closed and not saying a word.
She had been craving mutton these past few days and ate hot pot twice. Surprisingly, she, who loves mutton, was fine, but Kangxi got a sore throat.
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi's cheeks flushed slightly as he looked at the woman who was chuckling and pulled her into his arms: "Jiaojiao, I shouldn't have let you go yesterday."
As he spoke, he gently bit her earlobe, and the warm breath he exhaled made Harigana's body tremble.
