Bumbutai said nothing, but took Sumalagu's hand and slowly walked outside.
"Let's go!"
Kangxi was helpless and didn't know what the Empress Dowager was up to. He didn't like Mongolian concubines before, but she came to him again and again. Now he liked Harigana, but the look in her eyes just now and her previous actions really made it difficult for him to understand.
"Ok!"
The group walked towards the banquet hall in a mighty procession. Kangxi and Bumbutai chatted casually on the way, while Harigana remained silent the whole time and followed Kangxi quietly.
When they were almost at the banquet hall, Harigana saw Tong Jia coming from another direction!
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Emperor, to the Grand Empress Dowager, and to the Imperial Concubine Chen!"
When Tong Jia said these words, her heart was bleeding! With so many people watching, she, a noble of the Manchu Zhenghuang Banner, actually saluted a Mongolian concubine. It was a great shame and humiliation.
But she could do nothing now. She could only suppress her anger and behave in a more generous and decent manner.
"Concubine Tong! Get up!"
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly when she saw Tong Jia. She had previously thought she was someone who could be of use, but she hadn't expected her to be so useless. Regardless of whether she would become an Imperial Noble Consort in the future, she was already inferior to the Mongolian concubines.
"I thank the Empress Dowager!"
Tong Jia stood up and looked at the Empress Dowager walking in the middle, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor on both sides. She could only walk to Harigana's side and follow them.
But as soon as she approached, Kangxi smelled a strong fragrance. The smell in the carriage last time was too strong and he was deeply impressed.
He turned his head to glance at Harigana and found that her complexion was normal, so he felt relieved! However, he thought that the seating arrangements would be the same in a while. Kangxi was worried that Harigana would suddenly feel unwell, so he wanted to call Li Dequan to check out the banquet hall layout. But he was surrounded by people, and if he made any move, they would know!
Helplessly, Kangxi could only hope that Wendul was a perceptive person, otherwise it would be difficult to end.
He now truly understood Bao Liri! After all, he would never have these worries. No matter what time it was, Sain Jiaya was alone. Not only did he not have to worry about her jealousy, but he also didn't have to worry about the food, clothing, and expenses of the women in the backyard!
"The Emperor has arrived! The Grand Empress Dowager has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived! Imperial Concubine Chen has arrived! Imperial Concubine Tong has arrived!"
The young eunuch announced it, and everyone in the banquet hall knelt on the ground and began to pay their respects to them one by one!
Kangxi held Harigana's hand with his right hand and supported the Empress Dowager with his left hand and slowly walked towards the stage.
Looking at the decorations on the stage, Kangxi was indeed a little unhappy!
There are five tables in total, one in the middle and two on each side!
Harigana was led by Kangxi and sat at the first table on his right, while the Empress Dowager sat down with the Queen Mother on his left! The remaining table on the right was naturally Tong Jia's!
"Jiaojiao! Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Kangxi originally wanted to ask her if she felt disgusted by the smell of Tong Jia, but he changed his mind when the words came to his lips.
Harigana shook his head, looked at the people still kneeling below, and whispered, "I'm fine, everyone is kneeling!"
The interaction between the two people could not be seen by the people kneeling below, but the Empress Dowager and Tong Jia could see it clearly. Although it was unknown what they were talking about, it could be seen from their expressions that they were very sweet.
Tong Jia's hands were tangled under the table. She had been secretly observing Harigana. She had just clearly seen Harigana say the word "I". She was definitely not mistaken.
The displeasure and unwillingness in her heart became stronger and stronger. She used to be able to be more relaxed in front of Kangxi because she was the emperor's cousin, but she had never called herself that like me.
"Be flat!"
Li Dequan, who was following behind Kangxi, shook his whisk after receiving Kangxi's signal, and then shouted in a shrill voice.
Harigana was a little curious about how he could make such a sound. But just as he turned his head, before he could even look at Li Dequan's expression, Kangxi grabbed his head and warned him, "Don't look at others casually!"
Kangxi would never forget that Harigana had smiled at Li Dequan before. Although he knew that nothing would happen, he just wouldn't allow it.
After giving the warning, Harigana still didn't feel happy enough. He turned around and glared at Li Dequan fiercely. Seeing that Li Dequan shuddered, he turned his head away contentedly.
Li Dequan didn't know what was going on. He hadn't misunderstood. Previously, this gesture had meant for everyone to stand up. Could it be that the emperor had some other intention? He had no idea when it was changed.
Harigana looked at Kangxi helplessly, but with so many people around, she could only sit in her seat obediently and not move.
"Jiaojiao, do you want to eat lamb legs?"
Kangxi asked Harigana quietly. He was no longer in charge of Harigana's food and drink like before, because she had another child in her stomach. If he didn't take good care of her and she vomited, it would not only be Harigana who would suffer, but also Kangxi, the culprit.
"want!"
After Harigana finished speaking, he saw Kangxi pick up a lamb shank from his table, then took the machete from his waist and began to cut the meat, small pieces at a time, filling a bowl.
Of course, Kangxi didn't just prepare these for Harigana. As soon as the meal was served, he personally prepared some for the Empress Dowager. Regardless, Kangxi would not allow Harigana's reputation to suffer even a little.
The Empress Dowager was originally very happy, but when she saw the full bowl of meat, her favorite milk tea no longer tasted good!
Tong Jia watched Kangxi meticulously care for Harigana, trying her best to suppress her resentment. Her expression turned completely cold when Kangxi accepted the meat Harigana handed him. However, she did not forget that the Khorchin people were still with her, so she kept her head down so no one could see that she was acting strangely.
[Damn bitch!] Tong Jia cursed Harigana angrily in her heart.
"Why did the Emperor accept the things that bitch gave her? Wasn't he afraid she'd poisoned them? I'm Tong Jia's cousin, why have you never been so indulgent to me before?"
After they had almost finished eating, Wendur and the others began to toast Kangxi, the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, and the show began.
