Although Kangxi had brought Harigana to see the peach blossom forest, he didn't stay there for long. It was winter now, and if she caught a cold, it would be more trouble than good!
When Harigana returned to the palace, she brought back a bunch of peach branches. Although she couldn't keep them alive, she was happy to keep them in the room and look at them.
After returning to the palace, without waiting for Kangxi to say anything, she took his hand to the study and made a bookmark with the fallen petals.
Although the craftsmanship was very rough, it was the first time that Kangxi had seen such a unique thing, and it was made by Harigana herself. He treasured it very much after getting it.
"Jiaojiao, I'm going to the Qianqing Palace. You can take a rest at noon, but don't sleep too much, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night!"
Kangxi stayed with Harigana for three full days. During these three days, the two of them did a lot of interesting things. These days only ended when Kangxi started attending the morning court on the fourth day of the New Year.
Seeing his nervous expression, Harigana nodded quickly so as not to hold him back.
It is now 1682. Harigana doesn't know what will happen in the next few years, but it will always be either Taiwan, Junggar, or Tsarist Russia.
But it shouldn't be Tsarist Russia now. She remembered that the Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed when Kangxi was almost forty years old. Kangxi was less than thirty years old now, so it was impossible for him to sign that.
But Harigana was right, but he was wrong about one thing, that is, Tsarist Russia invaded!
Kangxi had just received an urgent message from eight hundred miles away, but at that time she went to the study to get a book and didn't know what Li Dequan had come in to report.
"Okay! Go ahead! I'll stay in Qingxi Palace and won't go out! Don't worry!"
But what Lian Harigana didn't expect was that Kangxi didn't come back for two days after he left, and he was discussing with ministers in the Qianqing Palace how to deal with Tsarist Russia.
Although she was anxious, there was a minister there and she would not be able to help if she went there, and it might even distract her.
Qianqing Palace.
Looking at the officials below who were arguing endlessly, Kangxi felt tired for the first time.
Half of the people said that fighting was necessary, while the other half said that fighting was not allowed and that the people would suffer.
For a while, there was constant quarreling in the imperial study, with people going back and forth and expressing their opinions.
Kangxi suddenly wanted to go back to Qingxi Palace and talk to Harigana. He felt that whenever he encountered problems, as long as she was by his side, all problems would be solved.
"Alright, you guys go back first! Let me think about it!"
When the ministers heard Kangxi's words, they immediately fell silent and left.
When I calmed down and returned to Qingxi Palace, Harigana was standing in the corridor watching Little Leo and the others making a snowman.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"
The young eunuchs quickly put down their tools and knelt on the ground to pay their respects.
"Xuan Ye!"
There was a hint of surprise in Harigana's eyes. He had just taken two steps towards Kangxi when he reached the corridor and hugged him!
Feeling the unique fragrance of the little girl, Kangxi felt much more at ease.
"Jiaojiao, be careful! I'll come over. Just stand there and wait for me. Got it?"
Harigana blushed, which made Kangxi feel better.
"Is it cold?"
Although Harigana was wearing warm clothes, it was winter after all, and we were afraid that she would catch a cold if she played too much.
"It's not cold, I'm holding a hot water bottle!" As she said this, she took his hand and walked into the inner hall.
The people outside were still making snowmen. They had long been accustomed to the scene of the emperor and the imperial concubine being together.
Moreover, the Imperial Concubine was very kind to them. It was the first time that the eunuchs were ordered by the Imperial Concubine to do things after being in Qingxi Palace for so long. Those young eunuchs worked very hard.
When they got into the house, Kangxi took off the cloaks of the two people and put them away. Only then did he realize that the little girl's belly seemed to have grown a lot bigger after just two days of not seeing her.
"Xuanye, have you lost weight? Is the situation very difficult? How come you have lost so much weight in just two days?"
Before Kangxi could show any concern for Harigana, the person opposite him reached out and touched his cheek, his face full of heartache.
"It's not a difficult problem, I just don't know how to choose! What made you want to build a snowman?"
Kangxi did not intend to tell her those bad things at this time. He had finally come back, so he couldn't throw the problems to the little girl and make her worry.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Harigana didn't ask any more questions.
"Xuanye, I asked Little Li, and he said that the snow would be cleared away. I thought, even though it's snow now, won't it turn into water once it melts when the weather warms up?
So I asked people to bring all the snow from the Imperial Garden and the official road. They were going to throw it away anyway, so we might as well transport it to Qingxi Palace and make a snowman!
Next spring, the servants won't have to work so hard to water the garden, and it will look pretty nice if we build a snowman!"
Harigana's face was full of pride, as if he had discovered some incredible secret, which made Kangxi's originally haggard heart strong again for a moment.
"Jiaojiao is so smart. I'll have Li Dequan pile all the snow in the palace into a snowman later, okay?"
Kangxi pinched her nose, then half-hugged her and walked into the house.
Although he really wanted to sit with her in his arms, her belly was really too big. He was afraid that he might hurt her accidentally, so he could only put his arm around her shoulders and sit near the brazier to keep warm.
"Xuanye! Forget about the entire palace!"
Harigana thought about it and said, "Not everyone likes snow. They will say you are a tyrant!"
In fact, she was thinking that the servants in the palace who wore the best and thickest clothes were from her Qingxi Palace, so it would not be a big deal to do some work outside. Even when she returned to her own servants' quarters, there would be thick quilts and hot water to use!
But it’s hard to say about the other palaces. Sweating while working is inevitable, but if they really catch a cold, who knows if they will die!
It’s not that she wants to think too badly of people, but in this world, servants are not treated as human beings at all!
She couldn't change this idea, nor did she think about changing anything. She wanted to change the rule of a royal family and make everyone equal on her own, which was simply a pipe dream.
Who doesn’t love power? After gaining power and enjoying the benefits of power, who would willingly give it up?
Kangxi didn't know what she was thinking, but if she said no, then so be it.
