"Xiao Si, I'm just tired. Go down and rest first. I'll play with you when I'm refreshed!"

Yinzhen smiled immediately. He was a little worried that he might have said something wrong and upset his mother. He nodded quickly and said, "Mother, I will take my leave now. Have a good rest, mother!"

Yinzhen's nurse had already seen what was going on and was afraid that she would be implicated. So after Yinzhen said goodbye, she also bowed respectfully and took his hand as they left the inner hall.

Tong Jia didn't look at the door angrily until Yinzhen and his companions left. She wanted to throw the teacup in her hand to the ground, but was persuaded by Min'er.

"Your Majesty, no! I just returned to the palace today!"

........

We’ll talk about the harem later, let’s take a look at the Qianqing Palace first.

After Kangxi arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he first dealt with some of the backlog of memorials, and then called a few people into the palace to discuss the affairs of Taiwan. For lunch, he only drank some tea and had some cakes.

The dinner was to be held at 2:15 pm, and since it was still early, he asked Li Dequan to call Yinreng to the Qianqing Palace.

As for the other children, even though he was in the palace, he would not see them often, so he did not have any great feelings for them.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here!"

Li Dequan knocked on the door and reported quietly, then stood aside and waited.

Yinreng was a little nervous. He had just had lunch at the Empress Dowager's place and wanted to go back to Yuqing Palace, but the Empress Dowager told him to rest in Cining Palace. So after lunch, he chatted with the Empress Dowager for a while.

"Let him in!"

Kangxi put down the brush in his hand, leaned back in the dragon throne, and waited for Yinreng.

"Your son pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

Yinreng was a little nervous. He knew that his father was very smart, so he thought that his father had actually seen through what happened in the morning, which was why he scolded him like that.

It was his fault, after all. He was the Crown Prince, the son the Emperor had high hopes for, the son the Emperor had personally raised. Even if he was unhappy, he couldn't show it like that.

Although Kangxi felt sorry for Yinreng, he still didn't let him stand up immediately. He just looked at him quietly until a quarter of an hour later, then he said, "Get up first!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

Yinreng's legs were already a little numb, but he didn't dare to say much. He endured the discomfort, stood up and stood aside properly without making a sound.

Kangxi had gotten over the anger he had at the city gate, so looking at Yinreng's expression, he couldn't help but ask Li Dequan to bring a chair over.

"Baocheng! You are not a child anymore, and you are the crown prince! During the time I was away, didn't you learn anything? Or even regressed?"

Yinreng looked up at Kangxi in disbelief. He had done something wrong, but he had been studying and had not slacked off in his studies.

"Father Emperor, Baocheng was wrong!"

After saying this, Yinreng wanted to kneel on the ground, but was persuaded by Kangxi.

Li Dequan stood outside the door and could not hear any sound from inside. He was a little worried that Kangxi would be really angry about this.

Fortunately, the conversation was not filled with the roars and questions he had imagined, but rather a calm one. He had followed the Emperor for many years and could tell when he was truly angry.

The two men knew what they talked about. Although it was only a short quarter of an hour from the time Yinreng went in to the time he came out, Li Dequan felt as if everything had changed.

【I hope nothing happens! 】

In Qingxi Palace, when Harigana woke up, it was almost the hour of You!

"Mother, are you awake?"

Du Lan had been guarding the bedside, so when she wanted to sit up, she hurried forward to support her. Hairi, who was outside, heard the noise and came in to serve Harigana.

She didn't expect that she could sleep for such a long time and sleep so soundly.

But before she could finish washing up, she heard Little Leo knocking on the door.

"come in!"

Hairi gestured to let Leo in.

"Your servant greets the Empress! Your Majesty, the Imperial Household Department has arrived with some clothes for you. There are also a few maids who want to take your measurements so they can make you court robes when they return."

They didn't expect it to happen so quickly, but Little Leo and the others were very happy. After all, those people in the Imperial Household Department really treat people differently based on their circumstances, so they came here in such a hurry just to save face in front of their master!

But Harigana didn't think so. She had read history books before. Although she knew that a large part of the things recorded in them might be false, she still didn't dare to easily believe the current Imperial Household Department.

Uya, the famous Defei in history, should still be Depin now. Whether it is in the novel or in the unofficial history she has read, Uya, the bannerman, is not simple.

Now, not only did she not know whether Uya's grandfather was still serving in the palace, she couldn't even ask. The ancients had the same thoughts and keenness. She had just entered the palace, and no matter what the reason, she couldn't ask these things.

"Call in!"

Harigana could only wait and see. There were many things connected with each other, and she couldn't reveal any clues rashly, otherwise she would lose everything.

She went outside and sat on the low couch, waiting for the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come in and measure her.

After a while, Little Leo came in with a few people, led by a middle-aged man who was not very tall but rather fat.

The first time she saw this man, Harigana disliked him. Although he didn't do anything to her, she could still see clearly from his scrutiny that he must be related to one of the concubines in the harem.

"Your servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen!"

Several people were kneeling on the ground, and some of them were holding trays covered with red cloth, which must have been new clothes.

The thing that bothered Harigana the most was their Manchu clothing. It would have been fine if they were loose, but why did they have to wear those clunky, clunky bottoms? Are they really not going to fall?

"Get up!"

Harigana's voice was faint. Firstly, she had just woken up and was still a little confused. Secondly, the steward's look made her uncomfortable and she had no interest in him.

"Your servant is Empress Xie Chen!"

After the rustling sound, several maids stood aside, and only the fat man stepped forward and said, "I am the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department. If the Empress needs me to do anything in the future, please ask Eunuch Li to find me!"

Harigana didn't even look at him, but still replied, "That's thoughtful! Little Leo, give me a reward!"

This confused everyone in the room. This was the first time they had encountered a master who handled things this way. No matter what time it was, their Imperial Household Department was always favored by the concubines in the harem!
