The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi

"Jiaojiao!"

Kangxi released Harigana and tidied her hair. Then he produced a handkerchief from nowhere, with a white jade hairpin inside.

"Jiaojiao, this is my New Year's gift to you!"

Harigana took it and found the workmanship to be very simple, and there was nothing special about it!

Kangxi smiled, knowing that she would have such an expression.

"Jiaojiao, this is something I made myself. I ruined several of them before finally getting this one. I originally wanted to make a phoenix, but my hands are too clumsy to do it."

After saying that, he looked at Harigana nervously, wondering if she would like it. After all, apart from the fact that the jade was good, there was really nothing special about it!

Harigana asked why Kangxi was so busy during this period, coming back much later than usual, and having small wounds on his hands. It turned out that he was doing this!

She looked at him with red eyes and pouted, wanting to throw herself into his arms, but when she thought about her too big belly, she gave up the idea.

"Xuanye, hug me!"

She raised the hand holding the hairpin, watched her speak with a wronged tone, and waited for him to come over and hug her.

Kangxi immediately took her in his arms, rested his chin on her head, and patted her back gently.

"Xuanye, I love it. I've never received such a thoughtful gift before! But don't do it again. Your hands are covered in wounds. What would you let me do if something went wrong?"

Harigana was quite touched. It really took a lot of effort for the emperor of a country to make such a thing!

But don't give her such touching moments in the future. If something really goes wrong one day, she will be the sinner.

Ancient times were not like modern times. If she got tetanus, she would probably be buried with him.

"Okay! Listen to Jiaojiao!"

When the two of them went to sleep, it was already past midnight. Harigana was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but Kangxi still carried her back to the inner hall.

Looking at the woman holding the jade hairpin tightly in her hand, he felt that his efforts for so long were worth it.

"Jiaojiao! May you be well for the rest of your life, and may we live together till old age." After Kangxi said this, he gently kissed the corner of her lips, took off the hairpin and put it away before hugging her to rest.

The next day, when Harigana woke up, Kangxi was still asleep. He had been very nervous during this period. Now that he finally got some rest, and with Harigana by his side, he relaxed completely!

Looking at the man sleeping defenselessly beside her, Harigana propped herself up, reached out and touched the tip of his nose without waking him up.

It is really not easy to be the ruler of a country. Harigana doesn’t know why so many people want to be emperor.

But think about it the other way around, as long as you have power, whether it's money or beauty, you can get whatever you want and snatch it away whenever you want, right?

It would be a lie to say that Harigana had no affection for Kangxi at all.

If she doesn't have any feelings for him after being together for half a year, then she is not heartless, but she has no heart.

But she also knew that even if she liked him, she couldn't really fall into it. After all, the person she loved most was herself. Only by loving herself, loving herself more, would she avoid complete failure in the future.

Harigana lay back on the bed, her hands resting gently on his waist, and she murmured softly, "May everything go well in the future!"

As she lay there, she drifted off to sleep again.

What Harigana didn't know was that Kangxi had already woken up when she sat up. He wanted to open his eyes, but when he felt her movement, he didn't open his eyes. Unexpectedly, he heard her soft murmur.

After making sure that she was asleep again, Kangxi did not get up, but just held her sideways and fell asleep with her.

However, before falling asleep, Kangxi was still wondering when Harigana would give birth to the baby in her belly. It was not for any other reason, but because when he held her in his arms, his belly was pressing against her, which was too uncomfortable!

"I want this one baby, and no more in the future!"

Only Kangxi knew what he was whispering, and no one else heard it.

Cining Palace.

"Grand Empress Dowager, please take a rest. Although it is the first day of the new year, it is only three quarters past midnight. Even the Empress Dowager would not disturb you so early!"

Su Malagu helped the Empress Dowager sit up, looked at the sky outside which was still dark, and wanted to persuade her.

"No problem! I'm old and can't sleep! It happens to be the first day of the new year today, so I'll go to the small Buddhist temple first. You can call me when they arrive!"

The Empress Dowager dressed neatly and went to the small Buddhist temple without having a meal. Su Malagu was worried, but there was nothing she could do.

I think the Empress Dowager must be missing the late emperor. How could she forget her own children on such a special day!

So Su Malagu did not persuade her anymore, but just looked at her with some concern.

In the past, the Empress Dowager would occasionally go to the small Buddhist temple to kneel and worship, but this was the first time she entered the small Buddhist temple on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

When the Empress Dowager came over with a group of concubines, the Grand Empress Dowager had just stood up. She had been kneeling for a long time, so she staggered a little.

"The Queen Mother!"

Su Malagu came forward to support her, her face full of worry. Normally, she would have directly called in the imperial physician, but today was the first day of the new year, and if she did, she didn't know what kind of rumors would spread.

"Nothing!"

Bumbutai took a break for a while until her legs regained some strength, and then she returned to the front hall with the help of Sumalagu.

Looking at the room full of concubines, she didn't see the woman from the Borchijin tribe. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still a little angry.

"Everyone, get up! Starting today, you are one year older. You must behave well," Bumbutai wanted to say, "You must serve the emperor well and not be jealous." This was what she often said in the past few years, but today she couldn't say it!

"You must abide by the palace rules, understand?"

Bumbutai felt that this New Year was the most difficult one in her life. Because of that Harigana, she couldn't even say a word of reprimand!

"Yes! Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

As they stood up, they heard: "The Emperor has arrived, the Imperial Concubine has arrived!"

The door curtain was lifted, and the first person to come in was Harigana. After the two of them came in, it was the emperor who helped the imperial concubine take off her outer cloak!

Everyone looked at the imperial concubine again, and she looked calm. It was obvious that this kind of thing must have happened many times in places where they couldn't see!

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine!"

Kangxi walked inside holding Harigana's hand without looking at the people kneeling on the ground. It was not until he stood in front of the Empress Dowager that he said his first sentence: "Grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Harigana hadn't expected to cause trouble for the old woman on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she quickly followed Kangxi and said, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager almost couldn't breathe, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand, asking them to stand up.
