The Empress Dowager was taken aback, then turned her head to look at Saenjiya: "Hahahaha!"
She understood what Seneja hadn't finished saying and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
No wonder Harigana was still unmarried at eighteen; it turned out that the shaman had already seen through her extraordinary nature.
Rebirth is only to become a true phoenix.
Now she is the Empress, the Emperor's darling, the Mother of the Qing Dynasty—isn't she a golden phoenix?
"Mother, what are you two laughing at?"
The two women were laughing so loudly that Harigana looked at them in confusion, and even Kangxi and the others looked over.
"Kids shouldn't listen to this, go play with yours."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said something, then took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and turned her head to whisper in Saenjiya's ear.
Harigana was speechless. She's already a mother of two!
What does "go play" mean?
If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Instead, resort to personal attacks.
The wives of Prince Kang and Prince Yu couldn't help but laugh when they saw Harigana's pouty face; being with her brought them so much joy.
"My darling!"
Kangxi put Beibei on the ground and told her to go play with her brothers. Then he took her hand and tried to coax her.
"Mother, Father, I feel like I'm superfluous."
Beibei was having a good chat with Kangxi, but before she could finish speaking, she was put on the ground.
Standing between the two men, looking left and right, he sighed softly, "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"
Both Harigana and Kangxi blushed, but Kangxi was better at concealing it, so it wasn't obvious.
Bayalig spoke without keeping his voice down, and almost everyone heard him.
Hahahaha!
Hahahaha!
Everyone in the private room couldn't help but burst out laughing, except for Bao Bao, who walked over with a dark expression and took Bei Bei away.
As they walked, he said, "The saying 'Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?' is not applicable here. I'll find you some books later, and you should study them carefully."
His voice was measured and methodical, just like when Emperor Kangxi reprimanded someone.
Most importantly, Beibei actually nodded obediently and said she understood.
"It's all your fault."
Harigana blushed and pinched his hand.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
The two weren't speaking very loudly, so those around them couldn't hear them, but they could still vaguely see the shape of their mouths and the small movements of their hands.
Even though I've seen the Emperor dote on the Empress many times, it still feels very strange every time.
The laughter was so loud that people in the other private room could hear it too.
Apart from Consort Hui, the other concubines were either being held or sitting beside her, while she was the only one sitting in the very center.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and no one spoke. Occasionally, a child would say something, and the adults would chime in.
After lunch, Kangxi took Harigana and left.
"Your Majesties, His Majesty has decreed that we shall meet outside the city in one hour."
Li Dequan went to the next private room to inform them, his meaning was clear: they could go shopping if they wanted, but they couldn't delay their departure time.
"Mother."
Yinti walked out from behind Li De and said, "My son, younger brother and sister and Guo Luoma have gone to play. They will bring you some snacks later. Please be careful."
Consort Hui quickly stood up and walked to his side, stuffing the purse she was carrying into his hand: "Buy some for your younger brother and sister as well. You are the eldest brother, so you must take good care of them. Don't be reckless, understand?"
Yinti confiscated her money and took out a small purse from his pocket: "Your Majesty just gave each of us some money. You can keep it; it's enough for me."
Consort Hui did not insist, and gave him a few more instructions before letting him leave.
"This is the silver that Her Majesty the Empress has prepared for all the young masters."
Li Dequan stepped aside, and a young eunuch walked in carrying a tray with a bulging sky-blue purse on it.
Moreover, this color won't look out of place on either boys or girls.
Although Harigana did not skimp on food and drink in recent years, Kangxi did not visit the inner palace, so the silver rewards naturally disappeared.
Now that they've come out, regardless of whether the concubines need money, at least the children's expenses can't be neglected.
So a few days before leaving the palace, she had the Imperial Household Department rush to make a batch of purses, which contained some loose silver and two silver notes.
It's just money; once it's spent, it's gone. It buys peace of mind.
"Thank you for the Empress's gift."
Li Dequan turned slightly to the side and left after they finished their greetings.
Everyone has the emperor's secret guards and other personal guards by their side, so there won't be any problems.
He still has to serve the Emperor!
"Butler, come quick, come quick!"
When Dulan saw Li Dequan, she immediately stuffed everything she was holding into his arms: "Phew!"
With his hands completely free, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and ran away.
Li Dequan!!!
That little brat is really something. With so many guards around, why not just give them to them directly?
He's such a bully, all he knows is how to take advantage of him.
He muttered a few words under his breath, then turned around and handed the items to the guard: "Don't break them, take them back to the master's carriage."
The town looks quite prosperous, but only the main street looks prosperous.
Even if you go into each shop, you finish browsing in no time.
"Let's go, there's nothing else we need to buy."
Harigana tugged at Kangxi's sleeve: "I'm tired."
She hadn't shopped like this in a long time, and she was indeed a bit tired.
Besides, after lunch, taking a nap is the right thing to do.
"Okay, let's go back."
Kangxi immediately agreed, took her hand, and walked towards where the carriage was parked.
"Jiaojiao, shall I carry you on my back?"
After taking a couple of steps, I asked her in a low voice.
Harigana shook his head: "No need, I can endure it."
The carriage followed them at a distance, and they were only a few steps away, so there was no need for them to carry it.
Even holding hands, let alone carrying each other on their backs, has already garnered a lot of attention.
If I actually carried it on my back, I wonder what people would say about me.
Kangxi did not try to dissuade him further, but he slowed his pace considerably.
She was thinking to herself that when they went to the next city, she would have Li Dequan lead a horse so that she could ride it if she got tired.
Once she was in the carriage, her shoes were taken off, and he began to massage her feet.
Harigana leaned against the carriage, half-asleep enjoying Kangxi's service, and soon fell asleep.
"You spoiled brat!"
Kangxi massaged her for a while longer, making sure she was sound asleep, before holding her and placing her on his lap: "Sleep, I'll hold you."
Knowing she was a clean person, I washed my hands before picking her up.
Whether she heard him or not, Harigana gave a soft "hmm," then twisted her body to find a comfortable position, still holding his waist as she slept soundly.
She had only been asleep for a short while when she began to dream. Her dreams were hazy, and she couldn't see anything clearly. Her breathing became increasingly heavy.
"Jiaojiao, wake up!"
