When she arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the civil and military officials were standing in front of the hall waiting. Some sharp-eyed people noticed at a glance that something was wrong with her decoration.

She kept her mouth shut and didn't dare to make a sound. Didn't she see that the emperor was already walking towards the empress?

After pushing Dulan away, Kangxi helped Harigana and she climbed onto the high platform together, ready to receive the worship of all officials.

The last time she walked up these stairs, she thought that day was the saddest day of her life, but now it seems that today is the saddest day.

It’s okay to scream when giving birth, but now she is in pain, but she still has to smile gracefully and not show any ugly expression.

This is not enjoyment at all, this is death!

"Jiaojiao, don't worry, I'm here!"

Others might not have noticed it, but Kangxi could tell at a glance that she was fake smiling. He thought she was nervous and whispered comfort to her.

"okay!"

Harigana takes the attitude that what he says is what it means.

Kangxi liked to see her being well-behaved and obedient and growing up according to his wishes, so he let him do it.

At least she has kept her original heart and knows what she wants.

The hand on Kangxi's arm slowly tightened, and she would breathe a sigh of relief every time she took a step, for fear that she would sprain her neck if she wasn't careful.

Finally reaching the top, she looked at the civil and military officials kneeling and kowtowing, and suddenly she felt dazed.

She glanced at the man next to her and thought, perhaps, he could slowly start to accept her.

There's a huge difference between truly liking someone and pretending to like them.

Kangxi may have begun to doubt her so-called sincerity. Having come to this point, she cannot retreat.

However, I can only like it.

Kangxi's love for her was deep, but she didn't think he loved her.

Or maybe Kangxi loved her, but she had her own standards for love, and until he passed the standards, she could only like him.

She could act at first, but the current situation is no longer sustainable through acting.

So, she has to like her, but not like her obsessively.

That's it.

He collected his thoughts and listened to the reading of the imperial edict. All the officials knelt down and bowed. Harigana smiled the whole time. Even when he wanted to kneel down to listen to the edict, Kangxi held his hand tightly and did not let go.

As a result, she became the only person in history who was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort without having to kneel down to receive the decree.

After the ceremony, they did not return to Qingxi Palace.

Kangxi had already prepared clothes for her in his bedroom in the Qianqing Palace. Looking at the bright yellow phoenix robe, she completely gave up struggling.

She lay on the bed and let Du Lan massage her neck for a while. Only when she felt a little more comfortable did she sit up and start to dress up.

The full-month banquet for her two children is coming soon, and she must have someone beautiful to go.

After changing clothes, I went straight to Baohedian to attend the lunch banquet.

imperial study room

Kangxi looked at the people kneeling below with a smile, listening quietly to their incessant talk without making any expression.

The people below were talking until their mouths were dry and their voices gradually became lower as they realized they were at a loss for words.

"emperor!"

There was a sense of disappointment in the voices of several ministers. If Kangxi had not investigated the people behind them, he might have really felt that he had done something wrong and hurt the feelings of his court officials.

"Well! Go ahead, I'm listening!"

The ministers were immediately discouraged. No matter how loudly they quarreled, they could do nothing if the emperor did not express his opinion.

He secretly glanced at Tong Guowei, Soetu and others who were kneeling in front of him, and the imperial study became quiet for a while.

"Why, are you done? Can I speak now?"

Kangxi's voice was very soft, but the people below kowtowed repeatedly.

"Emperor calm down!"

The atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became tense. They could not bear the emperor's anger.

Some people have begun to regret why they came along to wade into the muddy water, but some people have no choice but to come.

But no matter what they do, it has nothing to do with Kangxi.

He is the emperor, and everyone should revolve around him and act according to his wishes.

"Of course I have to calm down. I am still wondering if there is anyone among you who is more suitable to be the emperor than me.

Please recommend someone and see if the master you are joining is capable of doing the job, and then I can abdicate."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve death."

All the ministers who can come here are important officials of the court.

Kangxi looked at the official crawling on the ground with a fierce look in his eyes.

I finally understand why dynasties change so quickly. It’s not only because the emperors are useless, but the most important reason is that the foreign relatives interfere in politics.

He was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but he was actually threatened by his subjects.

The pain of his childhood was still vivid in his mind. He had finally captured Oboi and pacified the Sanfan. Could it be that he still had to allow his so-called relatives to interfere in state affairs?

"Where did you commit any crime? It's me, the one who deserves death!"

After saying this, Kangxi threw the beads in his hand and slammed them on the desk with a bang.

The timid court officials below had already begun to tremble, and kept asking the emperor to forgive them.

After a long time, seeing that the time was almost up and the palace banquet ahead was about to begin, he did not delay any longer.

"Remember, I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty belongs to the Aisin-Gioro clan.

You must remember who your master is. If you can't recognize him, I don't mind letting your whole family identify him carefully to find out who holds your lives.

I aspire to be a famous ruler, but if the officials are disloyal,

Kangxi paused, his eyes sweeping over the people in front of him, and then he said in a low voice: "How dare you serve two masters with one heart? Such a heartless slave, I can kill all your clans."

Every word was like an icicle piercing their chests, and they were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

"You are eating the Qing Dynasty's allowance and enjoying the stability brought to you by the Aixinjuelu family. If anyone dares to question my decision again and wants to be my master, I don't mind recruiting new talents.

I have not thought of changing the crown prince yet, so you don't need to worry about it here.

But you must also remember that I am in good health now. As long as I am alive, I will be the master of the Qing Dynasty.

If you want to make plans for the Crown Prince, you should also see if I, your master, will fulfill your wishes."

Tong Guowei was fine after hearing this, but Soetu's face was indeed extremely ugly.

Kangxi's words hit him hard in the face like a slap in the face. He even stopped short of naming him and telling him to be quiet, otherwise he would kill all nine generations of his clan.

Yinreng stood at the door and originally wanted to ask Li Dequan to go in and report, but he ended up hearing Kangxi's harsh words.

For a moment, he felt very uncomfortable.

temporary?

Is it just temporary?

Will he have to give up his position when those two children grow up?

Li Dequan did not say anything. It was not the place for a servant like him to comment on royal affairs. Moreover, looking at the prince's unhappy expression, he felt a little worried.

Born into a royal family, and even a prince, with such obvious displeasure on his face, could he really be a qualified king?

Although what the emperor said was unpleasant, he only wanted to govern his court officials and control his subordinates.

If he can't even understand the meaning of such words, then his life as a prince has really come to an end.
