"Xuan Ye, you promised to listen to everything I say, and now you're starting to go against me?"
Granny Hu and the others had given up struggling; they were just servants and dared not say too much.
I thought the Emperor could change the Empress's mind, but it turned out to be useless.
Sure enough, the Empress only said one sentence, and the Emperor immediately retreated, showing that he dared not resist.
"Dulan, go and get the little aprons I made for them to wear."
Everyone else opposed it, but Dulan resolutely supported her eldest princess.
Sure enough, they were quick; in no time at all, they had put aprons on the baby and Beibei.
Seeing the two children, fixed between two pillows and swaying precariously, gnawing on lamb legs, Kangxi felt utterly disheartened.
"Eee-yah-yah!"
"Giggle giggle!"
The brother and sister were talking about something, but they were eating with their mouths full of oil.
"See? I told you they could eat a lot, but you didn't believe me."
Harigana wiped the mouths of the two men, then turned to look at Kangxi with a smug expression.
What could Kangxi say?
He never said that the baby and baby wouldn't eat meat; he just felt it was too early for them to eat meat now.
Not to mention others, he was breastfed until he was two years old.
Moreover, the baby and baby were both premature and should be carefully cared for.
"Yes! Jiaojiao is great!"
Granny Hu's mouth twitched.
She was someone who had watched Emperor Kangxi grow up since childhood; she was an elder in the palace.
The emperors of the past were stern and unsmiling, and their word was law.
Now look at this, even though he's extremely unhappy inside, he's incredibly soft-hearted when he says it.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is not here. If she saw how the Emperor now obeys the Empress, I wonder how angry she would be.
Not to mention Granny Hu, even Li Dequan's lips were almost unable to hold back his smile.
Harigana had no idea what they were thinking, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter.
Hearing Kangxi say she would help, she gave him a coquettish look: "Don't worry, how could this child I risked my life to give birth to harm them?"
I didn't lecture them; it would have been pointless anyway.
Moreover, even if she said something like breast milk loses its nutritional value after a few months, they wouldn't believe her, and might even expose her.
It would be better to let them think she's just being silly and wants to wean her as soon as possible.
Kangxi watched as the two little ones ate with great relish, their little aprons covered in bits of meat and dripping oil.
Since he'd already eaten it, there was no point in thinking about it anymore.
Naturally, we should follow Harigana's lead; if we keep dawdling, we might not be able to go to bed tonight.
"Jiaojiao is right."
However, after saying the nice thing, he secretly instructed Li Dequan to have Zhao Rongxi wait at the Imperial Hospital and come over immediately if there were any problems.
Even though it's only six months old and has only one tooth, its teeth are very sharp; it ate all the meat in no time.
Of course, it's not the kind of meat adults eat; it's no different from boneless meat, just cooked until very tender.
"Waaaaah!"
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, we took the two bone sticks off the table. The baby and Beibei started babbling unhappily, especially Beibei, whose eyebrows were all furrowed.
"Take them downstairs to wash up, and give them a little warm water, but not too much."
As soon as Harigana finished speaking, Granny Hu and Granny Su each carried one and walked very fast.
"Xuan Ye!"
Kangxi paused, turning to look at her: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Seeing the man's nervous expression, she immediately deflated: "It's nothing."
He waved his hand, walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it.
Kangxi walked up behind her and hugged her: "Jiaojiao, do you want to see the plum blossoms?"
The plum blossoms outside the city are in bloom, and he wants to take Harigana out to see them and maybe soak in a hot spring while he's at it.
However, he only mentioned looking at plum blossoms, not soaking in hot springs.
"Okay, let's go take a look and bring back a few later."
She leaned against him, answering lazily, completely unaware of the wicked scheme Kangxi was plotting.
"Okay, I'll have Li Dequan make the arrangements."
In the past, Harigana would have said he would bring the Empress Dowager along, but since Saenjiya came to the capital, the Empress Dowager has been enjoying herself quite well on her own.
Emperor Kangxi was aware of her thoughts, which is why he made the suggestion.
"By the way, when are the envoys leaving?"
With the Lunar New Year approaching, aren't they going home for the holiday?
"Five days later!"
Harigana gave an "oh" and didn't say anything more.
She heard from Emperor Kangxi that they had come to exchange grain, but he didn't say anything else and she didn't ask either.
Anyway, once Dai Zi fired that cannon shot, the envoys all became obedient.
But I still need to have a meal before I leave, and the thought of it makes me feel bad about spending the money.
Five days later, the envoys finally left, and Harigana was taken by Kangxi to the peach blossom forest outside the city.
"Xuan Ye, it smells so good!"
In the peach blossom grove, a petite woman in a red cloak tiptoed and broke off a peach branch, held it to her nose and smelled it, then turned to look at Emperor Kangxi behind her: "Smell it."
Are you cold?
Seeing her nose red from the cold, he walked over and took her hand: "You smell better than me."
Harigana blushed, withdrew his hand, and lightly patted him with a peach branch: "Don't talk nonsense."
Her coquettish demeanor was Kangxi's favorite, and it was also unique to Harigana.
"Okay, I'll listen to Jiaojiao and I won't say anything more."
He took the hot water bottle from Dulan and replaced the peach branch in her hand: "Warm it up."
Harigana didn't refuse. She linked arms with him, held the hot water bottle in her hands, and slowly walked into the woods.
A gust of wind blew by, the branches swayed slightly, and pink peach blossoms drifted in the wind, landing on the two of them.
Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, mingling with peach blossoms as they landed on the ground and disappeared.
"Xuan Ye!"
Reaching out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and looking at the snowflakes still clinging to their shoulders, they said, "They say that if we are together in the snow one day, we will grow old together in this life."
But the two of us standing together in the snow now prove that we will be together for a lifetime.
When I'm old, not as young as I am now, and my face is full of wrinkles, will you still like me?
Kangxi tapped her nose with a peach branch in his hand: "Jiaojiao, I am ten years older than you. If you get old, how well will I fare?"
Right now, I just want to get in good shape and then come find you after I've seen you off.
We met too late in this life; in the next life, I want to be the first one I find.
Those who are sent away are lucky; they don't have to suffer the torment of missing their loved ones.
He has seen many people pass away in his life, and he understands all too well the bitterness involved.
Therefore, if he had to choose between the two, he would prefer himself.
Harigana is so spoiled; leaving her alone will make her very sad.
