The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi
Chapter 207 Literal Meaning
Fortunately, Kangxi had dealt with many people because of the Harigana incident, so even if those officials wanted to cause trouble, they did not dare to do anything in such an occasion.
This is the Emperor's birthday. Not to mention whether they will be targeted by the Emperor, they cannot afford to be charged with ruining the celebration.
Many people also want to see what Abu and Eji, the imperial concubine who was able to monopolize the emperor and be favored by him for a year, are like, and whether they are as ostentatious as those people in Khorchin.
As a result, they just ate and drank, and apart from toasting, they didn't communicate with anyone the whole time.
In other words, be as honest as a quail.
The Baoliri couple didn't know what they were thinking, but even if they knew, they wouldn't think it was a big deal.
The children are their own and they take care of them.
As long as the children can live well, it doesn’t matter what people say about them.
Besides, no matter what they think, they will still have to salute him respectfully when they see him in the future, because he is the leader of the Borchijin tribe.
Although Kangxi didn't know what Harigana said, he knew that Baolirigesainjia was hiding his abilities for the sake of their daughter.
Halfway through the banquet, Little Li suddenly appeared beside Li Dequan and whispered a few words.
I handed him the letter in my hand and stood aside waiting.
Kangxi had noticed this a long time ago. He turned around and took the letter presented by Li Dequan. He opened it in front of all the officials and smiled after just one look.
My dear husband, seeing your words is like seeing you in person.
It's a pity that I can only celebrate your birthday in this way, but there are still years to come, so don't be sad this time.
I've asked Leo to bring the gift I promised you, so don't be too happy later.
But compared to this gift, don’t you think Bao Bao and Bei Bei are the biggest gifts?
Kangxi nodded. He was indeed very happy. Today was his birthday and his daughter Jiaojiao had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Such a thing had never happened in all the dynasties.
"Little Leo, where are the things?"
Kangxi looked at Little Leo and thought it was some small toy.
"Your Majesty, the things are outside the palace. Do you want them brought up now?"
lift?
Kangxi seized on the word "raise".
He was now even more curious about how big the object had to be to require someone to carry it.
"Well, carry it in."
"Yes! I'll go right away."
Little Leo's face was full of joy, but Li Dequan was full of hesitation.
After all, his heart was betrayed. His little disciple had kept such a big thing hidden from him.
My heart feels so cold.
But on second thought, as a servant, the most correct thing to do is to be loyal and protect the master.
Moreover, such a loyal servant was trained by him personally, which made him feel very proud.
The hall had already been quiet for a long time. It was because the expectation and curiosity in the emperor's eyes were too strong, and they also became curious.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"
Little Li knelt on the ground and said without Kangxi asking, "I, the servant, am hereby ordered by the Imperial Noble Consort to present the gift to the Emperor. The Empress wishes the Emperor a happy and prosperous year every year."
Kangxi couldn't help it, he stood up and walked down the stairs, looking at the half-human-height object covered with red cloth with some curiosity.
"Open!"
When he walked down the platform, all the officials present also stood up, staring at Leo's movements intently.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I obey your command."
Little Leo walked forward and carefully lifted the red lid, revealing a golden pastry.
Yes, pastries. They had never seen cakes, so they could only call them pastries.
"Your Majesty, the Queen said this is a cake, wishing Your Majesty a happy birthday."
There was no need for Kangxi to ask any more questions. Little Li took out a knife from the side and cut a piece and handed it to him.
Just when Little Li took out the knife, the officials' hearts were in their throats, but the emperor and Li Dequan stood there motionless, as if they didn't see anything.
They were shocked, especially those officials who were already shaken, and now they didn't want to get involved in the so-called draft at all.
The reason why the emperor trusted this eunuch so much was obviously because he was the imperial concubine's man. He was sure that he would not hurt him, so he did not dodge at all.
Kangxi actually liked sweets, of course only Harigana knew this secret.
Although the two of them did not say it out loud, whenever they had the chance to eat something sweet, Harigana would put a piece of it in Kangxi's mouth.
To outsiders, it seemed that the Imperial Concubine was forcing the Emperor to eat sweets, but only the two of them knew that it was Harigana who was using his own way to get him what he liked to eat.
"Li Dequan, I remember there was a set of gold, jade, and pearl headpieces in my private storehouse, which I later sent to the Imperial Noble Consort.
The servants of Qingxi Palace who serve their masters meritorious service will also be rewarded with two months' worth of silver."
"Yes! I obey your command!"
Most of the officials present had no idea what the headdress looked like, but the Imperial Household Department and the Empress Dowager knew that it was a phoenix crown that only the Empress was worthy of.
They wanted to persuade her, but she was a titled Imperial Noble Consort, and now there was no Queen, so if they said anything, they would offend her.
Helpless, I could only swallow my words.
Only the Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were spinning violently.
The Empress Dowager had heard of this headdress. When the late emperor was alive, he wanted to give it to Dong E, but the Grand Empress Dowager said something and the matter was eventually dropped.
She glanced at the Empress Dowager secretly, and found that she didn't refute. She felt a little uneasy.
Little Li had received special instructions from Harigana, so when Kangxi finished eating a piece, he cut another small piece and presented it to him: "Your Majesty, the Empress asked you to eat her portion for her."
Kangxi reached out to take it, knowing that she wanted him to eat as much as he wanted.
The cake was very big, with nine layers in total. The top layer could be divided into four pieces, just enough for the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager to have one piece each.
The rest were all distributed among the ministers.
Harigana thought that her cake would become the focus at the palace banquet, because such things only exist in modern times.
When Kangxi returned, she had already fallen asleep.
Matron Hu and others wanted to persuade Kangxi to return to the Qianqing Palace to rest, saying that no matter how clean the confinement room was, there would still be a smell of blood.
However, seeing the emperor's enthusiastic look, they tactfully shut up.
"Jiaojiao, be good!"
He kissed the sleeping woman, held her in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep himself.
Baoliri and Sainjia returned to their residence, both of them were worried.
"I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse."
Sainjia was a little worried. The emperor's favor was like a gust of wind. Who knew who it would blow to next?
They previously thought that the emperor's exclusive favor simply meant that he favored Harigana more, but they didn't expect that it actually meant what it said.
