The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi
Chapter 241 The Sound of Rain
The two of them looked out the window at the same time, listening to the sound of the rain. Harigana wanted to say something, but Kangxi swallowed it all.
Although the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said it would definitely rain, not a drop of rain had fallen since the beginning of spring. Not only the common people, but even the two of them were a little anxious.
I didn't expect it to rain on the night Yinfu moved into the Qianqing Palace, and it sounded like the rain was going to be heavy.
"Jiaojiao, you are as beautiful as before!"
Kangxi suddenly said something in Harigana's ear, causing her to clasp her toes together tightly, making them round and plump, making people love them even more.
There were continuous thunderstorms all night.
The red waves rolled all night long.
The next day, Kangxi changed into his court clothes, entered the bedroom, glanced at the woman who was still sleeping, stuffed his pillow into her arms, turned around and went to the morning court refreshed.
In the court, civil and military officials had different expressions. Some remained neutral, some did not participate at all, and only a very small number of officials looked at each other, wanting to present the memorials on their sleeves.
"Your Majesty, it rained heavily in the city yesterday. The people in the city got up in the middle of the night and used buckets and basins to collect water. I also collected a bucket. The water was very clear, not as turbid as usual."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.
Especially the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who felt that this year's granaries and treasury would definitely have a bumper harvest.
He was the happiest person in the whole room laughing, with his teeth showing. Kangxi wanted to scold him but couldn't bear to do it. He pretended not to see it and turned around to look away.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I also received a bucket yesterday, and it was crystal clear, without any dirt at all."
Kangxi was thinking in a turmoil. Could it be that what the Imperial Observatory said last year was about Yinfu?
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The Minister of Rites walked forward with the memorial in both hands.
Li Dequan received a signal from Kangxi and went down to bring up the memorial.
"emperor!"
Li Dequan roughly guessed what the Minister of Rites wanted to say, but he was a little stupid. No wonder he had been stuck in the position of Minister and could not move forward.
When Kangxi opened the memorial, it was indeed about the matter of Harigana.
He already had a plan, and now with the sudden blessing from heaven, he had even more reasons.
"Minister of Rites, tell us what you wrote so that everyone can listen."
Kangxi handed the memorial to Li Dequan, then looked at the person kneeling below, his voice and expression not changing at all.
He thought the emperor would be angry, but not only was he not angry, he didn't even show any expression. For some reason, he always felt that he seemed to have done something wrong.
But as a loyal minister of the emperor, he cannot watch the emperor go astray.
At this point, he could only report everything he was thinking to the emperor and ask him to revoke his decision.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort, as a consort, not only has she failed to follow the palace rules and advised you to treat everyone equally, but she is now even living in the Qianqing Palace. This is inappropriate.
Your Majesty, your bedroom is behind the Qianqing Palace. How can you let a concubine bless your bedroom?
I, your humble servant, have the audacity to present myself before you and ask Your Majesty to allow the Imperial Noble Consort to move out of the Qianqing Palace and reside in the harem."
His words were sincere and his voice was tearful.
"Your Majesty, I reconsider this."
"Your Majesty, I also wish to review this matter."
One, two, three, and then more than a dozen people came out in scattered groups.
Not much, but not too little either.
Although there were hundreds of civil and military officials, there were actually only fifty or sixty people who were qualified to attend court.
"You answer my questions first."
Kangxi stood up, flicked the sleeves of his dragon robe, placed his left hand in front of his belt, and put his right hand behind his back. He walked down the platform slowly, step by step, and asked, "What year, month, and day is today?"
The officials were startled and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, it is the 15th day of the sixth month of the 22nd year."
"Has it rained at all this year except last night?"
Officials: "Never!"
"As the highest-ranking mistress in the harem, the Imperial Concubine is accompanied by the auspicious dragon and phoenix of the Qing Dynasty.
Now the bedroom needs to be rebuilt. If you don't let her live in the Qianqing Palace, where do you want the auspicious sign of the Qing Dynasty to live?"
Several people lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
The emperor said it was a good omen, a sign of dragon and phoenix appearing together. If they said the wrong thing or anything went wrong, they would be in big trouble.
Seeing that they dared not speak, Kangxi had no intention of letting them go.
It was only natural to discuss the government affairs of the previous dynasty with them, but every one of these old men kept staring at the person in his bed, which was simply outrageous.
"Why aren't you talking? You guys seem to be very knowledgeable about the affairs of the harem. Since you know that the backyard of the Qianqing Palace is my bedroom, do you still want to control which master lives in my bedroom?
Have you finished all the work of the previous dynasty?
If there is really no government affairs to attend to, you guys can take turns on duty and choose one person to come into the palace every day to manage my harem. I will give you the Phoenix Seal, okay?"
Li Dequan almost couldn't help laughing out loud. The emperor had been with the imperial concubine for a long time, and this little poem was really exciting.
The faces of the dozen or so old men kneeling on the ground turned red instantly.
All the officials hurriedly knelt down, and for a moment the words "The Emperor, please calm down" echoed throughout the Qianqing Gate.
Kangxi did not wake up, but slowly returned to the dragon throne and sat down: "I will say it one last time, I am the emperor, and you are my subjects.
What you have to do is to deal with the former dynasty, government affairs, and to benefit the people, not my harem.
The Central Palace has no master, and the Imperial Noble Consort is now the master of the harem.
No matter what happens in the harem, it is my family affair."
"Your Majesty!"
All the officials immediately agreed, and no one dared to object.
The words "handing over the Phoenix Seal to them for management" are enough to scare people to death. Who would dare to take care of this?
After the court session, Kangxi's mood was not affected at all by what happened in the court.
Those poor people lived in fear for several days, and only felt relieved when they were sure that the emperor really didn't care.
"Jiaojiao!"
When Kangxi returned, Harigana was leaning on Dulan and drinking water in a daze.
"Yeah! Are you back?"
When Kangxi approached, Dulan tactfully gave up her seat and even handed him the water cup.
"Jiaojiao, are you feeling unwell?"
Harigana nodded, then shook his head: "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just very tired. I want to sleep a little longer."
Kangxi couldn't help but chuckle. Such words could only be heard when she was confused.
It seems that he has really good physical strength, otherwise how could his Jiaojiao be so confused.
"Dear Jiaojiao, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer. When you've fallen asleep, I'll take you out of the palace, okay?"
Kangxi still needed to deal with memorials, and by then the weather would be warmer, so it would be just the right time to take Harigana out, neither too cold nor too hot.
"Okay! I want to sleep."
I turned sideways and hugged his waist, finding a comfortable position in his arms, and soon I heard a soft cry.
Kangxi held the person and sat for a while, making sure that he would not wake up before putting him on the bed.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she tidied up her messy hair. Because her face was leaning against him, there was a red mark on her cheek.
Her lips were slightly open, and her clever little tongue was faintly visible, which made Kangxi's Adam's apple twitch.
"Jiaojiao!"
He leaned over and placed a kiss on the corner of her lips to make sure she wouldn't fall before going to the imperial study.
