Hae Ri had been with the Queen Mother for so many years that he could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her.

"Grand Concubine!" She leaned close to Saenjia's ear and said, "The princess likes to eat the meat from our place the most. She says the meat raised by the emperor on the farm is not as delicious as the one from our place."

Sainjia was skeptical. It's been almost a year since she came here, so she should be used to it, right?

But after hearing what Hai Ri said, she felt a little better.

But when she walked in and saw those nourishing ingredients piled in a corner, placed together with ordinary ingredients, she completely believed that her quiet and well-behaved daughter, who liked nothing but books, was really lucky and was deeply loved by the emperor.

Although the emperor forced her to marry him at that time, it now seems that she made the right choice. At least she cannot guarantee that if it were someone else, they would be so good to Harigana.

What they can protect is only the surface, but the feeling in their heart is the most important.

White porridge is easy to make, but lean meat porridge takes time. In fact, meat porridge should be made by cutting the meat into small pieces with your hands after cooking, and then adding water and raw rice to a large pot and simmering it for a long time.

Now the ingredients are limited, so I can only use beef jerky instead.

The air-dried beef jerky was very hard. Sainjia washed her hands and slowly began to tear the meat into thin strips along the strips. She then cut it into small pieces with a knife and put them into the pot.

Harigana hadn't seen it, otherwise he would have said that what Sainjia made looked like meat floss. But on second thought, he realized how much effort she put into it.

Tonight is Kangxi's birthday banquet. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has found a host and the Empress Dowager is watching, some things still need to be handled personally.

After finding comfort in Harigana and reconciling with his little Jiaojiao, he returned to the Qianqing Palace in a happy mood.

However, before leaving, he repeatedly reminded her not to go out casually, to rest more, and to tell him in time if she had any problems. Seeing this, Sainjia, who was standing aside with the porridge, wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Xuanye, go quickly, I'm hungry.

You are very busy today, so you don't need to come back to see me.

Hurry up and get busy. Isn't tomorrow a day off? Just spend some time with me tomorrow. Don't delay what you're doing today."

Kangxi was about to give her a few more instructions, but when he heard her say she was hungry, he stood up and wanted to take the porridge and feed her.

"Xuanye, are you sure that if I stay here, the court officials won't accuse me of being a demon concubine that brings disaster to the country?"

"dare!"

Kangxi was slightly angry. He had suppressed the previous rumors with great difficulty. Now all the new and old accounts were in his hands. He just had to wait for the war with Tsarist Russia to end so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop.

Now hearing Harigana say this, the anger in my heart suddenly rose.

"Xuan Ye!"

Kangxi saw the woman on the bed looking at him aggrievedly, and he knew that he had done something wrong again, although he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"Okay, okay, I'll go get busy first. I'm relieved that Eji is here with you. Don't be angry, be good."

When Kangxi said he dared, Sai Enjia almost knelt on the ground. However, her daughter called the emperor's name lightly, and she immediately became obedient.

The most important thing is that the emperor actually said "I" instead of "Zhen". And he just said "Eji", not "Your Eji".

She quietly turned her head to look at Dulan and Hairi, and found that they were not surprised at all. She even saw the word "relieved" on Dulan's face.

"Well, go quickly, there's a surprise for you tonight."

It would have been better if Harigana hadn't said this. After she finished speaking, Kangxi wanted to stand up, but he suddenly froze and then sat back down.

"Jiaojiao, can you speak?"

Everyone present was helpless. When did the emperor become so curious?

Harigana shook his head and said nothing.

"Oh! Then I'll go first. I'll be back after tonight. You don't have to wait for me. Just go to sleep when you're tired."

Kangxi stood up and walked out, looking back every few steps. Harigana felt that he had lost all face.

It was okay for Dulan and the others, as they watched the two people go from strangers to being affectionate with each other little by little. But with Sainjia around, how could she still save her dignity?

"Eji!"

Looking at Sainjia with an expression that looked like she was enjoying the show, Harigana had no choice but to remind her to put away the smile on her face.

"This is a good thing. Eji is happy."

Harigana was very comfortable being served by Dulan and Sainjia. Just after he finished drinking his porridge, he saw Madam Hu and Madam Su walking in with the child in their arms.

"Your Majesty, the young prince and princess have come to pay their respects to you."

Looking at the two small quilts, one pink and one blue, beside the bed, Harigana didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the two children looked much prettier than before.

Although they still looked like a little old man and a little old woman, their faces were clean and they were actually blowing bubbles.

"My Lady, the two young masters are very easy to take care of. They just hum when they're hungry and sleep when they're full. They're not a bother at all.

The little prince eats much more than the little princess. Fortunately, the emperor found four wet nurses, otherwise there might not be enough to eat."

Harigana reached out and gently touched the cheeks of the two children. She looked at their small palms and wanted to touch them, but her son held them tightly in his hands and refused to let go.

"Look, mother and child are connected by heart. Knowing that she is his mother, the little prince holds her tightly."

Aunt Hu said auspicious words, she was really happy.

Although she wasn't the emperor's wet nurse, she had watched him grow up. She thought her life would just pass like this, but now she could still serve the little prince. How could she not be excited?

The emperor is now in his prime. Judging from the way this person is favored, who knows who will rule the world in the future.

"Dulan, I was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort today, and now I have a prince and princess. The servants of Qingxi Palace have served me well, so I will reward them with three months' salary. You can give an extra 10% to those who have made contributions.

Also, send two ounces of silver to the Imperial Hospital for Dr. Zhao, and give an extra 20% to those in charge. Li Dequan will receive the same reward as you."

Dulan and Madam Hu quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.

Money is not important. What matters most is that the Imperial Noble Concubine loves them and shares their joy.

In the past, the servants in Qingxi Palace would have been very happy if they knew there would be rewards, but in the past six months, they had become somewhat numb to Harigana's frequent rewards, and after receiving the silver, they felt nothing but happiness and gratitude.

Harigana was not afraid of whetting their appetites. Firstly, she was rich, and secondly, this was a feudal society. If anyone did something disloyal, not only her but also Kangxi would not let them go.

So the two of them played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, and the servants in Qingxi Palace were completely under their control.

Of course, except for that little palace maid, after all, there are very few people as stupid as her.
