"Just say that I'm not feeling well and am resting!"

Harigana thought about it, hesitated between meeting them and not meeting them, and finally decided not to meet them.

She wasn't here to make friends, nor did she want to offer them even the slightest superficial connection. Furthermore, since she was now in great favor, those people who came here simply wanted to show off their presence in front of her and get her to act as a matchmaker.

Others might do this kind of thing. After all, in the harem, it is about helping each other.

But she didn't need that. The person she needed to capture was Kangxi! As long as Kangxi stood by her side, she wasn't afraid of anything!

Besides, those people were almost all from Khorchin. She would be crazy to be friends with them. Not to mention being friends, she didn't even want to be superficially friendly.

"Yes! I will refuse it right away!"

At the door, Borjigit Ujina and others stood outside, looking at the three words "Qingxi Palace" with envy.

They thought that they were all Mongolians after all, and Harigana probably also hoped to have a few people who could help her in the harem. They all came forward on their own initiative, and the imperial concubine should choose one or two from among them!

Among these people, the only one missing was the newly appointed concubine, Borjigit Manou!

Because she knew how much the emperor had favored this imperial concubine's wet nurse, and what Kangxi had said to her before was so clear, she didn't dare to do it again.

She had tried to persuade these people when they came to her, but no one listened to her. Some even said that she didn't know their suffering after becoming a concubine, and their words were full of dissatisfaction.

"My dear ladies, the Imperial Concubine is feeling unwell and has now rested. Please return home! When the Imperial Concubine feels better, she will naturally summon you!"

Wujina and the others felt a little nervous when they saw Little Li coming out. After all, entering this door meant having an opportunity in front of the emperor!

But they never expected that the lady would directly turn them away. And from what Leo said, she almost told them not to come again!

"what?"

There was an old man who had served Kangxi. When he heard what Leo said, he was so angry that he wanted to go up and argue with him.

But now that Little Li had received Harigana's accurate response, how could he possibly allow her to yell like that? Not to mention whether it would bring shame to the Qingxi Palace, would he, the eunuch, even maintain his dignity?

To be honest, apart from Li Dequan, he has the most face in the palace today because his master is in favor. Even the Empress Dowager's personal eunuch will call him "Eunuch Li" when he sees him!

"My lady, the Emperor has decreed that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant and needs to rest. Please return! If you disturb the Imperial Concubine's rest, the Emperor will surely investigate!"

Little Leo's words were merciless, and Wujina and others turned pale and blue in the face.

She knew last time that this person's personality was not easy to get along with, but she didn't expect that he would not even let them in. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Was such a person really worthy of the emperor's attention?

"Eunuch Li, I will be leaving now! When the queen wakes up, please say a few kind words to her, Eunuch Li!"

Although Wujina looked down on Harigana's behavior, she secretly stuffed a purse into Xiao Lizi's pocket when she thought of what her mother had said.

"Don't worry, my lady. I will definitely tell you after you wake up!"

Little Li did not refuse and accepted Wu Jina's purse, which made the others very angry. But now they thought about giving her the purse, it seemed a bit redundant!

After everyone left, Little Leo threw the purse in his hand to the eunuch at the door, as if it were a hot potato!

"Here's a reward for you. Remember who your master is! You did a good job today. I will speak for you in front of the Empress!"

The young eunuch nodded repeatedly, and after putting away his purse, he felt very happy. His family was not well off, he had two younger brothers, his father had passed away two years ago, and his mother was in poor health. He entered the palace as a slave to give his family some hope of survival!

But he had been doing odd jobs in the palace for more than two years. Once, when he was being bullied, Eunuch Li saved him and later asked him to guard the gate for the imperial concubine.

He cherished this opportunity very much. Not only did his monthly salary increase by 20%, but the imperial concubine would also give them rewards from time to time.

He had long ago decided to protect the Imperial Concubine with his life and guard the gates of Qingxi Palace! He had never expected to be nominated in front of the Imperial Concubine today. He felt that although he would no longer be a real man after entering the palace, his family would live a good life in the future, and he was already very satisfied!

"My Lady! Those people are gone!"

Little Lizi walked into the inner hall and reported to Harigana.

"Yeah! Just leave!"

Harigana looked at the sketchbook and didn't look up at him.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the nobleman from Borjigit who wanted to invite you to ride with him when you were riding on the way to Khorchin?"

During this period of time, Leo has also gotten to know Harigana's personality a little bit. Although she is lazy and doesn't like to go out, she likes to listen to a lot of gossip!

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the imperial concubine who was reading a book put the sketchbook in her hand aside, looked at Little Leo, and waited for his next words.

"That noble just gave me a purse, but I didn't open it and gave it to the gatekeeper! When those ladies came over just now, the gatekeeper said you might be resting, so they didn't let you in! Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I accepted a bribe!"

After saying that, Little Li knelt on the ground, but Dulan, Chasu and the others could see that he was asking for a reward, and they all rolled their eyes at the person on the ground.

Harigana smiled, but she was in a really good mood. As long as her people were on her side and what they did satisfied her, she would not treat them unfairly!

"Well! You two have done a great job. Your monthly salary for next month will be doubled!"

"Slave, thank you, your concubine!"

As Leo said this, he kowtowed to Harigana.

"Alright, alright! I still don't understand what you mean. What's the matter? Is that little eunuch's family in trouble and wants you to help out?"

Little Leo scratched his head and only then showed a hint of embarrassment.

"My lady, it's just that our family is poor and we don't need any special care!"

Harigana nodded, liking the way they knew when to stop. So, he didn't ask any further questions, but he did become somewhat curious about Wujina, the woman who had given him the silver.

"What's going on with that Wujina? Tell me!"

Kangxi happened to hear these words when he came in. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain but paused. Should he leave quietly and pretend that he had never been there?
