"Harigana!!!"
Kangxi pinched her face and kissed her lips.
The little mouth can't speak, so it needs to be plugged.
When Li Dequan and Du Lan heard the Emperor call out the Empress's name through gritted teeth, they were startled, fearing that the two would start arguing.
I was terrified for a while, and only felt relieved when I heard no other sounds.
He shook his head inwardly, wondering what had happened between the two of them this time.
When Li Dequan saw Harigana wearing a veil as she stepped down from the carriage, he instantly understood and lowered his head, not daring to look at her any longer.
He thought to himself: The Emperor is really something, he can cause trouble in such a short time.
Yinti and Yinqi shared a tent with the baby, along with Sunbul and Agula.
Bebe stayed with the Empress Dowager, because it was inconvenient to bring her along as there was Baoliri at Saenjiya's place.
Although she was just a child, as a royal daughter, she had to learn to avoid suspicion from the age of three.
"Xuan Ye, why don't we bring Bei Bei back? Mother is exhausted after a long day, is she alright?"
Inside the restaurant, Harigana, somewhat unconcerned, looked at the man massaging her legs and asked, "Baby, have they arranged for extra staff?"
Kangxi put down her left foot and picked up her right foot in his hand: "Don't worry, you know how well Beibei sleeps, she won't disturb anyone."
As for Bao Bao and the others, I've assigned two bodyguards to watch over them, and Little Li is also there with a bunch of men. What are you worried about, hmm?
Harigana lay back on the bed: "Alright, my old mother's heart is at peace now."
She really had no other intentions, but Kangxi was very sensitive now, and would tense up at the mere mention of the word "old".
He glanced at the person lying on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that it wasn't a veiled criticism.
"Xuan Ye, that's enough. Go wash up and go to bed."
Although it was June, it was still a bit chilly at night because they were in the fields.
After lying down for a while, I still felt that sleeping while holding Kangxi was the most comfortable.
"Okay, I'll go now."
She put his feet under the covers, then got out of bed and went outside to wash her hands.
"Come quick!"
As soon as he reached the screen, Harigana waved to him and patted the bed next to him.
Kangxi's eyes lit up, thinking she wanted it.
She hurried forward, took off her shoes, got into bed, and before he could make a move, she snuggled into his arms, saying, "It's so warm."
Crash, crash, crash, Kangxi's heart shattered into pieces.
"Xuan Ye, why are you so warm?"
The hurtful words weren't enough; now her feet were lifted and placed on his thighs, which were indeed a bit cold.
I was so happy about Harigana's initiative just now, but now I'm just as disappointed.
"Xuan Ye, why aren't you saying anything?"
She pinched his waist and found a comfortable position: "You're tired, aren't you? Me too. Luckily you massaged my feet."
Xuan Ye is so kind. Goodnight, Xuan Ye.
After a barrage of responses, Kangxi could only reply dryly, "I'm not tired, go to sleep."
He thought Harigana would answer him, but the person in his arms fell asleep shortly after he finished speaking.
"Why!"
He sighed softly, tucked the blanket behind her to make sure there were no gaps, and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep.
The next morning, when Harigana woke up, Kangxi was no longer by his side.
"Your Majesty."
Dulan heard the commotion inside and peeked out. Seeing that she had sat up, she quickly came in to help.
"Hmm! Were you cold last night?"
Dulan shook her head: "It's not cold. I've practiced martial arts since I was a child. In weather like yesterday, I only needed to wear something a little thicker."
Last night, Li Dequan somehow got hold of a thick cotton coat, so she not only wasn't cold, but also had a very warm sleep.
"It's good that it's not cold, but you must be careful."
"Alright, Your Majesty, which dress would you like to wear today?"
She helped him change into clean undergarments and whispered to the person sitting by the bed.
"red!"
Harigana didn't even think about it. Yesterday, she wanted to wear a red dress, but Kangxi had already put on something else and wouldn't let her wear it.
That was something she had the Imperial Household Department make for her southern tour.
"Okay, I'll go get it for you right away."
Where is the Emperor?
When I woke up, I touched the pillow and it was still warm, so I must have been up for a short time.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is practicing swordsmanship outside. Should I invite him in?"
Dulan took out a red garment and also took out Kangxi's and placed it aside.
Given the Emperor's petty nature, he would definitely dress her and her beautiful eldest princess in the same color. She prepared it in advance to avoid being scolded.
"Need not."
She likes to wear riding outfits, which are simple and comfortable, and don't require complicated hairstyles; a simple braid is enough.
After getting dressed, she braided her hair into a fishtail braid, with the ends draped over her chest. She wore a simple pearl headpiece and a sunflower around her neck, looking clean and fresh.
Just as he put on his boots, Emperor Kangxi entered, but his expression was not pleasant.
He waved for Dulan to go out and prepare the meal. Before he could even ask what was wrong, Kangxi picked her up and placed her on the dressing table.
"Jiaojiao, I've been wronged."
Harigana was taken aback. He was the emperor. Where could he possibly suffer any injustice?
Who else would dare besides her?
"Right? You find it unbelievable too, don't you?"
He noticed her confusion and surprise: "My second brother said I'm old and my health isn't as good as his."
Emperor Kangxi would get angry just thinking about this.
I got up in the morning intending to exercise properly, but it turned out that Prince Kang and Prince Yu were also up early to practice.
At first, everything was fine; the three of them didn't bother each other and practiced on their own.
But then, for some reason, Prince Kang looked at Emperor Kangxi and said, "How about we have a little sparring match?"
Emperor Kangxi was about to agree when Prince Yu said, "Xuan Ye handles state affairs in the palace every day. To challenge him is just bullying!"
Would Emperor Kangxi be pleased with such a statement?
Then the three of them found an open space and started gesturing, but the process was naturally limited to a few words and no one was actually hurt.
Besides, with the emperor still around, Prince Yu and Prince Kang wouldn't dare to actually make a move.
"And then? You lost?"
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Harigana instinctively asked about the result, only to receive a flick on the forehead: 'How could that be!'
Putting aside the fact that he was the emperor, neither of them would really embarrass him; in terms of martial arts, he was indeed stronger than his two older brothers.
"Aww!"
Harigana gasped softly, looking at Kangxi with dissatisfaction. She wanted to reach out and rub her sore spot, but the man was one step ahead and started massaging her sore spot first.
"That means we won!"
Only after saying that did he realize why Prince Yu would criticize him if he had won.
"Well, my second brother said my victory was dishonorable. He's so much older than me, and although he won, he was only slightly better."
He even said that if I reached his age, I definitely wouldn't be as good as him.
Harigana wanted to laugh, but dared not.
She hadn't expected the word "old" to have such power; he could associate it with anything he heard.
"Jiaojiao, do you still want to laugh?"
