One year was enough time for Kangxi to have a firm trust and understanding of her character and personality.

After enduring enough, it’s time to take the initiative.

Starting tomorrow she will have to reply to greetings. I really want to see how angry those people are.

Tong Jia, Concubine Yi, the Empress Dowager, and those who had come to the Qingxi Palace gate and wanted to come in to pay their respects.

If it doesn't pop up, she won't do anything, but if it pops up, don't blame her for killing you.

"It's not that I'm looking for trouble, but you guys did too many little things during my pregnancy.

If Kangxi doesn't tell me, then I won't know?"

Harigana muttered to himself, and only he could hear it.

Xiao Dulan's spies are obvious, and even Kangxi thought they were collecting all kinds of gossip in the palace. But is that really the case?

She curled the corners of her mouth slightly and returned to the couch, as if the person with the cold look in her eyes just now was not her.

"Jiaojiao, do you want me to ask the Queen Mother for leave for you? Can you do that?"

Kangxi looked at the person who was tidying up his clothes, his face full of worry.

Although Harigana had been in the palace for more than half a year, she had only participated in two visits to the palace.

"Xuanye, what are you talking about? I didn't go before because I was pregnant, and it was winter at that time.

But I’m out of confinement now, and my health has recovered so well. What will others think if I don’t go?

I know you are worried about me, but not going all the time is not a solution, right?

Don't worry, I'm very capable and I can protect myself."

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and left a kiss on the corner of his lips, then patted his chest and told him to go to court.

Seeing Harigana saying that he was very powerful, Kangxi became even more worried.

Can this soft and sticky thing really calm people down?

Don't wait until someone tells you something and you don't know how to respond, and then come back with a lot of anger.

"Jiaojiao, why don't you let Li Dequan accompany you? I'll come find you after court."

The corners of Harigana's mouth twitched. She really just liked quietness and was not the type to accept things passively.

In Kangxi's mind, her image seemed to be more successful than she originally wanted to establish.

"Xuanye, my dear husband, do you think it's okay for me to take Li Dequan with me to pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager?"

Kangxi was startled, then touched his nose.

He was just very worried about Harigana and forgot to consider the feelings of the Empress Dowager.

If she really brought Li Dequan to pay her respects, the Empress Dowager would be furious and would dislike her even more.

"Jiaojiao, you must be careful. I'll be there as soon as I get off work."

Kangxi repeatedly instructed, but still felt uneasy.

"Dulan, come in!"

Li Dequan and Du Lan, standing at the door, were puzzled and did not get an answer from each other's eyes.

"My slave, please pay your respects to the Emperor!"

Dulan walked into the inner hall and knelt on the ground very obediently, completely unlike her playful appearance when she was with Harigana.

Kangxi couldn't help rolling his eyes at her pretending to be well-behaved, which made Harigana's mouth twitch even more.

Did he lead the emperor astray? Such a vivid expression was actually made by Kangxi.

Not knowing what he was going to do, I stood aside without saying a word.

"stand up!"

Kangxi was reluctant. If he didn't know that this girl was capable and could protect Harigana, he would not want to see her at all.

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Du Lan stood up, still with his head lowered.

She is so quiet, why does it feel like the emperor still wants to kill her?

Hey!

Du Lan sighed in her heart, what a petty-minded emperor.

"Dulan, the Imperial Concubine will go to pay her respects later. You must follow her closely and ask Chasu to go with you.

I give you a privilege. If anyone bullies your master, don't hesitate to protect her for me. Got it?"

Du Lan was so angry that her eyes were about to fly to the sky!

Does he even need to say this?

Even if Kangxi didn't say it, she would try her best to protect the beautiful princess, okay?

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Du Lan agreed. Although she had some thoughts about it, she really didn't dare to act rashly.

It’s not that I don’t dare to act rashly, but I just don’t want to cause trouble for Harigana.

Li Dequan said, if you are patient for a while, you will have peace; if you take a step back, you will have a broad horizon. This is probably what he meant by this.

"Well! Go out and ask Li Dequan for a token. Seeing the token is like seeing me. You can take it out and use it when necessary."

Kangxi gasped for breath as he spoke, but Dulan's eyes lit up.

"I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely protect the Imperial Concubine."

His voice was very excited, he knelt on the ground, and his words were pleasant.

Kangxi was furious. His words as an emperor did not carry as much weight as a token in her heart.

He only said five words before he said the token, and after he was given the token, he didn't know how many words he said.

It’s really annoying, very annoying!

Harigana felt helpless watching the two people going back and forth.

She now regretted why she kissed Du Lan so excitedly. Otherwise, she would not have become a thorn in Kangxi's side.

After a year, she felt that Kangxi's resentment not only did not disappear, but was even worse than before.

"Xuan Ye!"

She held his arm and rocked him gently, adjusted his court beads, and kissed him again.

Sure enough, the sour smell disappeared.

Kangxi went to court happily. When he passed by Du Lan who was kneeling on the ground, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

Du Lan didn’t see it, and even if she did, it wouldn’t matter. They are husband and wife, so what does it have to do with her whether they kiss or not?

After changing clothes, he saw that it was almost time and took Dulan and Chasu to the Empress Dowager.

They rode in a sedan chair to the gate of Ningshou Palace, and everyone except her was there.

After she got off the sedan chair, the people led by Tong Jia reacted and immediately paid their respects.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Harigana took a look and saw about thirty people, but he looked away after just one glance.

"Get up!"

His voice was gentle, and he didn't have the slightest intention of using his status to trouble them.

Everyone stood up immediately.

Many people at the palace banquet that day only looked at the Imperial Noble Consort on the stage from afar. Now, watching her from such a close distance, the sourness in their hearts grew even stronger.

After giving birth, other people either become swollen or age, and their figures may even get out of shape.

But after giving birth, she returned to normal, and even seemed more charming than before.

She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, so why did she recover so well?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen Mother invites you!"

The maidservants beside the Queen Mother walked to the palace gate and knelt in greeting.

Harigana is the largest here, so naturally it walks in front.

The Queen Mother sat at the top and looked at the people coming in, feeling envious.

She was just envious and had no other thoughts.

Her life was terrible, but she was also a woman and knew how important her husband's love was to a woman in the backyard.

So seeing Harigana being so favored, she was actually happy for her in her heart.
