Kangxi looked at Harigana's frightened expression and felt a sudden pang of frustration. Was he not behaving well enough? Why did Harigana think he was holding the knife to hurt her?

"Jiaojiao!"

Kangxi wanted to explain, but Harigana's expression was too tense. He had no choice but to put the knife aside and lean over to hug her, saying, "Jiaojiao, I just want a touch of your hair. What are you afraid of?"

Harigana was stunned. He wanted her hair? Thinking of the line in the picture book: "Married as husband and wife, their love is unquestionable," she felt a little guilty.

"Yes, what do you want hair for?"

"Jiaojiao, you know this, right?"

Just now, Kangxi looked at Harigana's black hair and the rose-pink Mongolian robe she was wearing, and suddenly remembered what Harigana had said before, that she would never have the chance to wear bright red again, so he wanted to give Harigana a reassurance.

Harigana remained silent, unsure how to respond. It wasn't because she felt guilty or overwhelmed, but because the Kangxi she knew was a very suspicious person. She had no idea if what he was saying was true or just a test. After all, she had just said a few days ago that she didn't want anything else but Kangxi's love!

If he admitted it now and accepted Kangxi's arrangement, would he feel that there was something wrong with him? Even the baby in his belly, whose gender was not yet known, would be affected.

Harigana suddenly felt very tired. She was really not suitable for using her brain, but in just a short while, she thought about more problems than she had in the previous decades.

This was in Korchin, with only the two of them and no one else around. If they returned to the palace, would they be even more worried than they were now, even spending every day calculating?

Thinking of this, Harigana decided to quickly capture Kangxi. As long as his body and mind were fully devoted to her, her future life would be much easier.

"Xuan Ye!"

Harigana called his name softly, stretched out her hands to hug Kangxi, and leaned into his arms, saying, "Whatever you want to do, I will definitely support it, and I will not have any doubts! I said, I only want you, nothing else matters! If you feel comfortable doing this, then let's do it!

I don’t understand, I don’t understand anything! So no matter whether it is now or in the future, as long as you say it, I will definitely follow your steps closely.

I know you have a lot to bear as an emperor, and I won't force you to do anything. As long as you stay by my side, that's all I ask!"

Kangxi felt very relieved after hearing what Harigana said.

His Jiaojiao was so kind, she only wanted him and nothing else! Even until now, she had never asked him for anything, but had always been doing everything for him.

Thinking of this, Kangxi suddenly felt a little guilty towards Harigana. He must love and protect such a good girl like Harigana and never let her be sad.

"Be good, Jiaojiao! I won't let you down!"

The secret guard watched Kangxi tie his hair together with Harigana's hair and put them into his purse. He was so frightened that he forgot to be shy and watched the whole process clearly.

After this incident, Kangxi's feelings for Harigana deepened, and even Dulan, the girl who disliked Kangxi, noticed the difference.

On the tenth day of September in the twentieth year of the Kangxi reign (1681), the patrol ended and the army set out for Beijing.

"Jiaojiao, do you want to sleep for a while?"

Kangxi was a little unhappy. It had been the whole morning, and Harigana had been looking out of the carriage. At first, he would read some books, study military tactics and maps, and didn't think it was a big deal!

But unexpectedly, Harigana just stared outside for the whole morning, and the number of words he said to him could be counted on one hand.

He sat down next to Harigana and looked outside. He found that there was nothing to see except crops and grasslands! All he could see was lush green!

"Huh? I'm not sleepy!"

Harigana withdrew her gaze and wanted to pour some water, but Kangxi poured her a cup first and even prepared to feed her himself.

"Drink!"

Kangxi held down Harigana's hand and put the cup of water to her lips again. Harigana had no choice but to drink the water from Kangxi's hand.

"No more drinking!"

Harigana leaned aside, looking a little depressed!

Kangxi put down the cup of water in his hand and hugged the girl in his arms. Only then did he realize that the little girl seemed to be in a very bad mood.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"

Harigana let Kangxi hold her, but pinched his cheeks with her hands, saying in a venomous tone, "I'll just look at the grassland for a few more seconds. In two days, I won't be able to see it anymore! Who knows when I'll be able to see it again!"

Kangxi thought Harigana was missing home and missed Sainjia and Baoliri!

Looking at the little girl who looked like a child, he lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose, coaxing her: "Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I have asked Li Dequan to send someone to inform your Abu and Eji that you are pregnant! When your belly is bigger, I will let your Eji come to the palace to accompany you, okay?"

Harigana's eyes lit up, but only for a moment, and then he quickly shook his head.

"Xuanye, forget it!"

Kangxi knew that Harigana would definitely explain it to him, so he did not ask any further questions.

"Xuanye, I'm already over a month pregnant. If I'm not mistaken, the baby should be born in May next year! If Eji wants to enter the palace to accompany me, she has to go a month in advance. That way, she will have to leave for Beijing in March! It will be very busy on the grasslands by then, and there will be a lot for Eji to do! Besides, Abu and Eji have never been apart, so it's better not to make Eji suffer!"

Kangxi felt warm in his heart, his Jiaojiao was kind. Although he wanted to see Sai Enjia very much, he still suppressed this longing and thought about them.

He was in a dilemma. If Eqige and Eji of Harigana were not tribal leaders, he could give them sinecure positions and let them settle directly in the capital. But they were tribal leaders. Even if they retired, he couldn't let Baoliri and Sainjia live in the capital permanently!

"Forget it, don't think about this anymore!"

Harigana just wanted to throw a tantrum at Kangxi, taking advantage of their daily interactions to get him to lower his standards. It was true she felt a little sad, but she wasn't ready to harass everyone.

Although Kangxi followed Harigana's words without saying much, he was still thinking about what he should do to keep Baoliri and Sainjia in the capital. There were many things involved, and he had to think carefully!
