Harigana turned over until Kangxi lay beside her, holding her waist tightly, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

That night, Kangxi thought a lot, but only he knew what he was thinking. However, Harigana clearly felt that Kangxi was not only more patient with her, but also more clingy!

"Jiaojiao, don't leave my sight at night, okay?"

After arriving in Korchin, Wendur and his companions not only prepared a whole lamb banquet but also a horse-stealing banquet to welcome Kangxi and his entourage!

Anyone with a sharp mind knew that Wendur was trying to show goodwill to Kangxi. After all, they had heard about the affairs of Anger and Wujina! Now that they had arrived in Khorchin territory, Kangxi still brought the people of the Borchijin tribe with him. It was absolutely impossible that there was no explanation for this!

Bumbutai was also a little angry with Kangxi! It would have been fine if she had brought Harigana with her on the way, but now that she had come to Khorchin and had restored Anger's position, even for the sake of her reputation as the Empress Dowager, she had to ask a Borjigit concubine to sleep with her!

But she had other plans in mind, so even though she was extremely unhappy, she didn't say anything! It just so happened that Wendul had created such a big scene today, so she could subtly remind the two of them. After all, she and Xuanye were the closest!

Kangxi also received reports from the secret guards. Although he had not punished anyone during this period, he had mastered the whereabouts of most people because of the secret guards. In particular, Tong Jia's resentment and insults were already on his mind.

Now he just had to wait and see what Tong Guowei and Longkodo would say in reply. Even if they were to deal with him, they had to fight back first! So he had always kept Harigana by his side, which was actually a form of protection!

"Okay! I get it! I will never leave you! Don't worry, even for him, I will protect myself!" Harigana said, pointing to his belly.

Of course she would follow Kangxi closely. First, she had no martial arts skills, and second, she was not smart! Moreover, apart from Li Dequan who was by Kangxi's side and the few servants around her, no one at the banquet could be trusted!

She must be crazy to wander around and put herself in danger!

After receiving her repeated assurances, Kangxi finally felt relieved, but he still asked the secret guards to follow her to avoid any accidents.

"Be good! Eat whatever you like for dinner, and don't eat anything you don't like! Don't force yourself! And the most important thing is, unless I give you the nod, you can't eat or even touch it, no matter who gives it to you. Got it?"

Harigana nodded, but inwardly she was thinking: So there really is a huge difference between liking and disliking! Now that she is deeply loved by Kangxi, he would even ask her for these things one by one. It's not that he is meticulous, but that he has a place for her in his heart.

But Harigana wouldn't be so self-indulgent as to be moved to the point of giving her heart. Kangxi's reaction tonight was firstly due to their conversation last night. Secondly, and most importantly, she was pregnant with a little one—Kangxi's child. It made sense for him to treat her with care!

Kangxi took Harigana to the Empress Dowager's tent first, and the three of them were going to the banquet together. This was also the first time Harigana saw the woman who had gone through three generations up close!

At the beginning, Harigana asked Kangxi whether she needed to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, but Kangxi said that she was now outside the Great Wall and her enthronement ceremony had not yet been carried out. He would take her to pay her respects in person after returning. Harigana then mentioned the matter again with the reputation of being obedient.

"Yeah, yeah! I get it!"

When Kangxi and Harigana arrived near the Empress Dowager's tent, they saw several Khorchin concubines standing outside in Manchu clothing. Kangxi subconsciously tightened his grip on Harigana's hand. After all, he had just finished talking about these women last night, and he didn't expect to see them today!

Moreover, Kangxi didn't want to admit that he had good eyesight. He saw Borjigit Angel standing in the front at first sight!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to His Majesty, and to His Majesty, the Imperial Concubine Chen!"

Harigana had talked a lot with Kangxi last night, so she didn't feel anything special when she saw these people today. But her hand was tightly held by Kangkang, which must have made him feel a little uneasy.

However, with so many people here, why didn’t we see that Tong Jia?

"Everyone get up!"

Kangxi spoke in a faint voice. Without waiting for them all to stand up, he took Harigana's hand and walked in, leaving those people outside to feed mosquitoes.

Bumbutai already knew about this when the people outside came to pay their respects to Kangxi, but she did not expect that Kangxi would bring Harigana with him.

"Grandma!"

"Your Highness pays respects to the Grand Empress Dowager. May the Grand Empress Dowager be blessed with good health!"

Harigana wanted to pull her hand back to greet Bumbutai, but Kangxi wouldn't let go, so the two of them looked very funny. The Empress Dowager was angry, but she couldn't say much with Kangxi here. Moreover, she could see that it was her grandson who wouldn't let go.

"Get up!"

The Empress Dowager's voice was very distant. Harigana had long known that she disliked him, so she had no good feelings towards her at all. If it weren't for the fact that being with Kangxi was the safest place, even if she was very curious about Bumbutai, she wouldn't have followed him.

"Xuanye! Why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager's voice became gentler. The people present were not fools; how could they not hear the change? Kangxi's heart moved slightly, but he didn't show it.

"Grandmother, I was thinking of picking you up with Harigana!" Kangxi only said the first half of the sentence. Although he didn't say the second half, the Empress Dowager also understood what he meant.

"Xuan Ye is so thoughtful! I was just about to leave, and now is the perfect time for us to go together! It will be more lively!"

Although the Empress Dowager understood Kangxi's words, the people of Khorchin were already standing outside. No matter the reason, she could not let them leave first. Now they were in Khorchin territory, and the best policy was to treat both the host and the guest well.

"Yes! Listen to the Imperial Grandmother!"

Kangxi sighed in his heart. If he had known that things would be so chaotic here, he would not have brought Harigana with him!

Harigana saw Kangxi's displeasure and worry. Although he did not show it on his face, the change in the strength of the hands held by the two could always be felt!

She gently squeezed Kangxi's hand, and smiled when he looked at her.

As luck would have it, the Empress Dowager, who had turned around, saw them. Looking at the two people, her grip on the cane tightened unconsciously.

This scene is so similar to how Fulin and Dong E got along with each other back then!
