Kangxi chatted with the Empress Dowager for a while, then turned his head to look at Harigana and found that the little girl was nodding her head, trying hard to control her sleepiness.

Thinking of the fact that Harigana was pregnant and had been very sleepy recently, Kangxi smiled slightly.

He turned around and said to the Grand Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, Harigana's body hasn't fully recovered yet. I'll send her back first!"

Although he lied to the Empress Dowager, his love for Harigana surpassed her by a lot, so he did not think there was anything wrong in letting Harigana go back to rest on the pretext that he was not fully recovered.

Bumbutai nodded. Although she felt dissatisfied and unwilling that her grandson was protecting a concubine like this, after all, Harigana was injured while trying to save Kangxi, so she naturally couldn't say anything more about it! Moreover, if this woman was not with Xuanye, it would be more convenient to call a few Khorchin people to serve the emperor later.

As long as this woman is not by Kangxi's side, she can let Xuanye choose a few more people! Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt much better, and then she looked at Harigana with a much kinder look.

"Go! I'm happy and want to stay a little longer!"

If the Grand Empress Dowager had not said this, Kangxi might have just left, but now that the Grand Empress Dowager said she wanted to stay for a while, no matter whether Kangxi wanted to come back or not, he had to come back to accompany the Grand Empress Dowager!

But Kangxi had no idea what the Empress Dowager was thinking. If he had known, he would never have come back.

Moreover, he realized one thing belatedly at this time, that is, the Empress Dowager would probably not want to use the title of Harigana, after all, her own emperor had used this title!

His expression was a little unnatural, but the most important thing now was to send Harigana back to rest. He would study the title issue in detail when he returned to the palace. It just so happened that the imperial edict to promote her to Noble Consort had not yet been issued, so he could change Harigana's title to something else.

"Yes! Grandmother, I'll be right back!" Kangxi said, then stood up, walked over to Harigana and said, "Jiaojiao! Come on, I'll take you back to rest first!"

"it is good!"

Harigana turned her head to look at Kangxi, then obediently stood up with him. After bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager, Kangxi took her hand and led her back to the imperial tent.

She was truly sleepy. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she hadn't experienced any nausea or vomiting, but she had been able to sleep well every day. Normally, she would have been lying in bed by this time.

"Jiaojiao! Did you feel uncomfortable just now?"

Kangxi held Harigana's hand, half hugged her, and carefully protected her. Although there was someone leading the way and holding a lamp, he was still worried.

"No, I'm not uncomfortable! I'm just very sleepy!"

Harigana leaned on Kangxi and tried hard to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she was still sleepy, so she simply closed her eyes and followed Kangxi's steps.

Seeing how sleepy Harigana was, he picked her up after getting away from the crowd. The person in his arms didn't scream in fear as usual, but instead, she expertly hugged Kangxi's neck and fell asleep on his chest.

When they reached the imperial tent, Kangxi originally wanted to help Harigana undress and let her sleep peacefully. However, thinking of the girl's usual love of cleanliness, he asked Dulan to bring in some warm water, and then gently helped Harigana wipe her body and changed her into clean pajamas.

"Xuanye! Stop it, I'm sleepy!"

Harigana waved her hand and patted Kangxi's hand off from buttoning his shirt. Feeling that no one was causing trouble, she turned over and continued to sleep.

Fortunately, Kangxi had already tied two, and only one was left, so he just followed Harigana!

He knelt on one knee on the bed, kissed the tip of Harigana's ear, then turned and walked out.

"Guard the imperial concubine at the door. No one can enter except me!"

Little Li quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Yes! I obey your command!"

Kangxi instructed Little Li, then looked at Dulan who was standing beside him, and reluctantly pointed at her and said, "You go in and accompany her. If the imperial concubine wakes up, send someone to find me! Remember, you must not disturb the imperial concubine's rest!"

Dulan's eyes lit up. This was a golden opportunity! Changshengtian knew how long it had been since she had seen her princess' beautiful sleeping face!

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Kangxi was furious when he saw Dulan's expression. If he had no other choice, how could he let Dulan get close to his Jiaojiao? Unfortunately, he didn't bring any maids with him when he left, so the only people he could trust to serve him were the ones brought by Harigana.

Although he regretted asking Dulan to go in with him, he was the emperor and his words were golden. He could not go back on his word and could only swallow his displeasure.

After Kangxi left, Dulan entered the imperial tent.

Harigana slept soundly, oblivious to Kangxi's jealousy and Dulan's happiness. She only remembered, half asleep and half awake, being held in Kangxi's arms, his large hands caressing her waist. Then, unbeknownst to her, Kangxi whispered something in her ear. She hummed unconsciously, and then something felt as if something hot had entered her hand.

So when I woke up the next morning, my arms were still a little sore.

......

"Grandmother! Are you tired? We'll be staying here for a few more days, so please take care of yourself!"

Kangxi returned to the banquet hall and looked at the vivacious Empress Dowager. He was worried that her health might not be able to bear it. Although the Empress Dowager looked very strong, she was almost seventy years old after all.

Bumbutai nodded with satisfaction, and she said that Xuanye was very filial, and as long as the woman from the Borchijin tribe was not around, all of Xuanye's behavior would be normal!

"Don't worry, Xuanye, I'm not tired! I'm really happy!"

The grandfather and grandson had a good chat. Tong Jia took the opportunity to cheer herself up while Kangxi was seeing someone off. When she thought that Harigana would not hang around in front of her, her depressed mood instantly dissipated a lot.

She thought, although Harigana lived in the imperial tent, if Kangxi did not go back and instead found someone else to sleep with him, then the face of the newly promoted Concubine Chen would be completely lost!

Thinking of this, Tong Jia felt better, but her mood only improved for a short while before she saw Su Malagu coming over with two girls wearing Khorchin costumes.

Although Kangxi was unhappy, he did not want to offend the Empress Dowager.
