"This servant takes her leave!"
When Tongjia heard the maid leave, the taut string snapped, and she huddled in the corner of her clothes, silently beginning to weep.
Why?
why is that?
Her father had concubines, and even merchants had mistresses.
But that man was the emperor! He had enjoyed the company of so many women, yet he was ultimately conquered by a woman from the grasslands, and he even left an empty harem to dote on her alone.
She can't even die now, because she's in the Tong family now, and that would drag the whole clan down with her.
So she could only endure it until her body could no longer hold on and she disappeared from this world completely.
People like Lady Tongjia were heartbroken, as was Consort Rong, whom Harigana had never liked.
She thought the emperor had some concerns about not appointing an empress. Even though the crown prince had been deposed, she still felt that Harigana would never become empress.
For so many years, she did nothing but lie low, thinking only of properly nurturing Yinzhi, waiting for her son to grow up and catch the emperor's eye, so that the struggle for power would begin.
But now it seems that all her scheming was no match for that woman's smile.
Look at the emperor today, he was clearly very angry, but in the blink of an eye he was amused.
That smile was one she had never seen in the more than ten years she had served the emperor.
Do I hate them? Of course I do!
Consort Hui was subjected to daily abuse and discipline by the nanny, and the fate of Lady Wuya was still fresh in everyone's mind. Even Lady Tongjia was confined to her quarters for life by the Emperor. What kind of trouble could she possibly cause, even if she had a son?
But she was unwilling to accept defeat!
In the Prince's residence, Yinreng stood in the middle of the courtyard with a blazing gaze, holding a dagger and confronting the guards.
"Even if I'm not the Crown Prince, I'm still Father Emperor's own son. Aren't you afraid that Father Emperor will exterminate your entire family if you treat me like this?"
He just didn't like a servant and wanted to give him a quick death, didn't he?
He was a prince. What was wrong with killing a servant he looked down on?
"Your Highness, my family members are long gone. I am the only one left in my nine generations of relatives."
Enraged by these words, Yinreng rushed forward to stab him, but the guard remained unmoved. As Yinreng got close, the guard swiftly slashed, and the knife fell into the guard's hand.
"Second Prince is still young, so it's best if this servant keeps such dangerous items for you."
After the guard finished speaking, he cut it into two pieces right in front of Yinreng.
"Get out! Get out of here, you little brat!"
Yinreng was furious; those repeated calls of "Second Prince" felt like knives stabbing into his heart.
Father Emperor is truly ruthless. He killed the people of the Hesheli clan, and now he has given his mother's things to that vile woman. When he gets a chance to go out, he will definitely kill that vile woman with his own hands and let Father Emperor watch with his own eyes how that vile woman dies.
"Yes! This servant takes his leave!"
The legend of Harigana is everywhere in the palace and in every corner of the capital, but I know nothing about it.
Even if I hear about it, I won't take it to heart.
He's just a clown; if he gets too cocky, Kangxi will deal with him.
When the time comes, she'll whisper sweet nothings in his ear, and he'll have no chance to cause trouble again.
Moreover, Kangxi, whom everyone was thinking about, was currently preparing a surprise for his beloved woman outside the palace.
The real collapse will occur the next day when everyone knows what happened here.
"Xuan Ye?"
Harigana was being manipulated by Dulan and the others for a while, but he didn't hear Kangxi speak.
If she calls out tentatively and isn't there, she can use a little coquetry to get Dulan to tell her the truth.
Result: "Yes! I'm here!"
Just by looking at her drooping lips, you could tell what she had just been planning.
Knowing this, he entrusted the affairs outside to Prince Kang and stayed here with him.
"Jiaojiao, let's go!"
Seeing that the dressing was finished, Kangxi stood up and took her hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"good!"
It wasn't until the two of them went outside and listened to the chattering crowd that Harigana seemed to know what Kangxi was about to do!
"Xuan Ye!"
He gripped Kangxi's hand tighter, his voice trembling slightly.
"Jiaojiao, did you guess it?"
Harigana never expected that Kangxi would take to heart the words she had once used to comfort him.
No wonder Emperor Kangxi had felt something was off these past few days; the borders were peaceful, yet Prince Kang kept seeking his advice.
And then there were Saenjiya and Haburi, who rushed over from so far away just to attend the wedding banquet.
Even the imperial edict, the edict appointing her as empress, was given so casually. What he really wanted to give was not the edict, but the wedding banquet that evening.
"Xuan Ye!"
Because her face was covered by a veil, she couldn't see Emperor Kangxi's face. She tried to lift it, but he grabbed her hand and pressed it down: "Jiaojiao, shall we do the wedding ceremony first?"
"good!"
Harigana did not hesitate at all, and it was the first time that Kangxi had smiled so happily in front of so many people.
With a cheer, joyful music filled the air, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Li Dequan looked at the scene before him, turned his head to wipe his eyes discreetly, and then turned back to host the wedding banquet with a smile.
Saenjiya and Baoliri sat in high positions, feeling both happy and apprehensive. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was with them, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to sit there.
