"Xuanye, I have never seemed to understand you in all these years!"

Bumbutai didn't shout out, nor did she say anything else, but her face looked a little more vicissitudes of life.

"Grandmother, please have a good rest. We will leave for Beijing tomorrow morning. Please take care of yourself."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he waited for a while until Bumbutai waved her hand, then he stood up.

"Grandmother, Xuanye is leaving!"

Bumbutai closed her eyes and remained silent. When she heard the door close, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the closed door. Her eyes instantly became fierce.

Kangxi felt relieved at that time. He had said everything he wanted to say and expressed.

He also believed that the Empress Dowager was a smart person and would at least not do anything while Harigana was pregnant.

However, he still had to be prepared. After all, he had to be on guard against the people of the Hesheli and Tonggiya clans.

When Kangxi came back, Harigana was still asleep, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was having a nightmare.

"Jiaojiao!"

Seeing that it was almost lunch time, he had to wake people up.

Not to mention that she was pregnant, even if she wasn't pregnant she couldn't skip lunch.

Harigana was already sleeping uneasily, and she woke up after Kangxi called her twice.

"Ok!"

The voice was so soft and tender that Kangxi felt his heart melt.

"Jiaojiao, wake up, you can't sleep anymore."

After hearing the sound, Harigana turned over and lay on her side on the bed. She closed her eyes and reached out to feel around until she touched Kangxi's hand. She grabbed it and held it in her arms.

Looking at the girl who depended on him so much, Kangxi felt deeply moved.

Just now, the Empress Dowager was still saying that Harigana didn't like him, but was just going along with it. Although he firmly believed in the girl's feelings, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

But now her actions were so unconscious, and unless she had been specially trained, there was no reason for her to do so except that she was doing it because she thought about it.

Kangxi was absolutely certain that Harigana had him in her heart. He was also very glad that he had just told the Empress Dowager what he felt for her, otherwise something unexpected might have happened.

"Jiaojiao, wake up, okay?"

Kangxi turned sideways and lay beside her, and gently touched her cheek with his fingers. The touch was so good that he couldn't help but kiss her forehead.

"Okay! Right now!"

Harigana's voice was very soft, and if Kangxi hadn't been close to her, he might not have been able to hear what she said.

Looking at the delicate little girl, he was once again thankful that he had walked to the river to relax that day. He even felt a little grateful to the Empress Dowager. If she hadn't forced him that day, he probably wouldn't have met this delicate and soft beauty.

Harigana opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Thinking of her crazy behavior just now, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Are you feeling unwell?"

Kangxi's voice was gentle, as if nothing had happened before. But Harigana remembered it clearly; she was not dreaming.

Not only did she beat Kangxi, she even scolded Aisin Gioro.

Thinking of this, she paused holding Kangxi's hand, and just as she was about to let go, he held her hand back.

"Jiaojiao, you are so careless. I tried to explain everything to you seriously, but I didn't expect you to fall asleep."

There was a hint of grievance in Kangxi's voice, as if Harigana was an unfaithful man who bullied Kangxi and then walked away, leaving him alone and sad.

"Xuanye, I..."

Harigana's voice was a little hoarse after she woke up. Her originally sweet voice was now more like a hook, making Kangxi unable to help but kiss her directly.

While kissing her, he explained why he didn't respond to her immediately. He said a few words to give Harigana a chance to breathe, and then continued to kiss her until Harigana was out of breath, and then he let her go.

"Jiaojiao, please don't say anything that makes me sad again. I've already made it very clear to the Empress Dowager that you don't need to go to any non-essential occasions."

Harigana nodded, her lips numb and she didn't want to speak. But she still put her arms around Kangxi's neck and buried her head in his chest.

For a while, the atmosphere between the two was just right. Although they were not an old couple, they got along well.

Neither of them mentioned what happened at noon, and they tacitly gave each other room.

Kangxi was afraid that Harigana would blame herself and become shy, so he didn't mention it. Harigana was also afraid that Kangxi would settle accounts with her later. She might feel shy, but she would never blame herself.

The rabbit was not eaten in the end, and Harigana asked Dulan to release it.

The next morning, they set out for Beijing. Without Kangxi's instructions, Li Dequan arranged everything clearly, and no accidents happened along the way.

On September 1681, , the th year of the Kangxi reign, the Qing Emperor's tour ended and he arrived at the city gate at : am.

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid later. I will let Li Dequan follow you, and Xiao Lizi will be here too. They will tell you what to do."

Kangxi looked at the somewhat nervous Harigana, gently held her in his arms, and told her over and over again not to worry.

In fact, she really didn't feel anything at first, but after Kangxi said that people would kneel to greet her when she entered the city, and officials would kneel to greet her at the palace gate, she began to get nervous.

"Xuanye, what about you?"

Harigana hugged Kangxi, looking at him with a dependent look. The strength in her hands was enough to prove her current anxiety, and Kangxi hurried to comfort her.

"Jiaojiao, I will be by your side too. When the time comes, you can follow me, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager into the palace together."

The reason why Kangxi told Harigana all this in advance was not only to tell her that many people would be watching them in a while, but also the concubines in the harem and the older children.

The only thing he hadn't explained to Harigana until now was the issue of the child. He was afraid the girl would regret it, so he hadn't dared to speak out.

He thought maliciously that as long as she entered the palace, as long as she entered the Forbidden City, everything would be fine.

Neither Kangxi nor Harigana noticed that since the day when he said he was hit by the Empress Dowager with a tea bowl, his feelings for the little girl had become more and more paranoid.

"Okay, I got it! Don't worry!"

Harigana nodded, closed his eyes and imagined for a while what might happen and who he might meet.

I guess Kangxi didn't tell everything. Not only were there common people and officials at the palace gate, but also his previous concubines and eight sons.

When she thought about herself being a teenager and thinking about someone only a few years younger than her calling her mother, she felt something was wrong.
