Kangxi was amused by Harigana's witty words.

"Quirky!"

He pinched the tip of her nose and then kissed her red lips.

Harigana was right. The problem now was not on their side, but what decision the Empress Dowager would make.

He couldn't take the initiative to do anything and could only wait for her reaction.

"Oh! Stop pinching my nose. It's collapsed."

She pushed Kangxi's hand away, stood up, walked to the couch and continued reading the unfinished picture book.

As for Kangxi, let him have fun on his own.

She was in a good mood. If Kangxi could bring her positive energy, she would get closer to him. If he brought her negative energy, she would stay away from him to avoid being upset.

Kangxi did not restrain her. He chuckled at her disgusted look, walked over to her and picked up the history book he had not finished reading and started reading.

For a moment, the room was quiet, yet unusually warm.

Tong Mansion.

Tong Guowei sat in a chair in the study in a daze, his eyes looking a little empty.

After a long time, he sighed, walked to the secret compartment, took out all the letters inside, opened the tinder and burned them to ashes.

The next morning at court, a shocking event occurred - Tong Guowei submitted a memorial expressing his desire to resign from his post.

For a time, the Tonggiya clan was in a panic, but because they were in the court, they did not dare to say much.

"Master Tong, the emperor invites you to the imperial study."

After the morning court session, Li Dequan stopped Tong Guowei who was about to leave the palace at the palace gate.

Hearing Li Dequan's words, the officials around him immediately turned around and left.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, for leading the way!"

Li Dequan was a little startled and bowed quickly: "Master Tong, you are joking. This is what a servant should do." He turned sideways and extended his hand: "Master Tong, please!"

In the Imperial Study, Kangxi looked at Tong Guowei's memorial and was a little surprised, but it was also reasonable.

He had originally prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that Tong Guowei's choice would be the one that would benefit everyone.

"Your Majesty! Lord Tong is here!"

Kangxi retracted his gaze: "Call him in!"

Now, as long as he is sure whether Tong Guowei has really given up or has other plans, he can feel much more at ease.

"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Tong Guowei knelt on the ground to pay his respects, but Kangxi did not call him up immediately. Instead, he looked at him for a long time.

"Get up! Li Dequan will give you a seat!"

Li Dequan took a chair from the side and placed it not far from the desk. He glanced at Kangxi, got the signal, and stepped back.

I closed the door and took a deep breath, thinking that from today on, the emperor's pressure would be much less.

The two people inside were very quiet, and no sounds of quarreling or questioning were heard.

An hour later, the door of the imperial study creaked open and Tong Guowei walked out with a calm expression.

"Li Dequan!"

Li Dequan hurried in.

"Your Majesty! Your servant is here!"

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Take Tong Guowei to Yichengqian Palace."

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Harigana was in the Empress Dowager's palace when he received the news. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't bother to think about it.

Kangxi would not hide anything from her that he wanted her to know.

If you don't want her to know something, it must be related to her or you can say that it is something she has to endure. There is no use in knowing it.

Anyway, no matter how those people make trouble, as long as they don't do it in front of her and don't hurt her and the children, let them do whatever they want.

The person she wanted to conquer was Kangxi. As long as Kangxi was there, no matter how much trouble others made, it would just be a fuss.

"Harigana, how could you be so brave at that time?

It's because the emperor is protecting you. If it were someone else, they would have been beheaded by now."

The Empress Dowager was also worried, after all, what Kangxi valued most was filial piety.

She felt scared every time she thought about what happened that day. Every word she said was a curse.

"Eji, I'm scared too!"

Harigana stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

The Queen Mother knew from the look on her face that she had admitted her mistake, but she would still dare to do the same thing the next time she encountered the same thing.

He glared at her, patted her forehead lightly, then lowered his head and continued embroidering the work in his hands.

"Eji, Xuanye said he would take us out in a few days. He asked someone to prepare a few horses for us to ride on when we go to Mulan Paddock. Let's choose one."

Harigana ate melon seeds and watched the empress dowager embroider something.

The Queen Mother paused, her heart softening.

How could she not know what kind of person Kangxi was?

This sentence has a lot of meaning. I think it was the emperor who said he would take her to choose horses. It was Harigana who took the initiative to mention it, so the emperor took her with him.

Otherwise, according to Kangxi's personality, he would never have taken her out.

Besides, she had noticed last time that the emperor was very wary of her.

The funny thing is that this vigilance is not because of power, but because of Harigana.

Kangxi valued Harigana very much and did not like anyone to get too close to her, even if she was a woman.

"it is good!"

The Queen Mother didn't say anything else. Some things don't need to be explained too clearly, as long as you know it in your mind.

When the time comes, she will take the initiative to stay away from him, let the emperor know her attitude, and not make things difficult for Harigana in the future.

As for not going, she wouldn't say anything. It's not like she goes out every day. She still wants this hard-earned opportunity.

"Harigana, thank you, Eji."

The Queen Mother smiled after she finished speaking, then shook her head helplessly as she looked at her half-leaning on the couch in an unpresentable manner.

He called Qigen over to add a pot of milk tea and three pieces of beef jerky to her.

Yes, three!

Because she also discovered that Harigana liked to eat meat, she would indulge her at first, but later she found that as long as Harigana ate meat, she would not like to eat vegetables during meals.

"Eji! When did you make the jerky?"

Harigana sat up straight, tore the dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth, his face full of surprise.

"I just made it a few days ago. I didn't make much. Come if you want to eat. It's impossible to take it away."

The Queen Mother looked at her lovingly, and when she saw her pouting face, she liked her even more.

"The emperor forbids you from eating these, so if I were to secretly give them to you, I would be violating a taboo.

If the emperor knew I secretly fed you dried meat, I wonder how furious he would be, so you better not reveal it."

Harigana was deflated. When she was pregnant, she could eat whatever she wanted, and during that period, she really didn't mind eating vegetables.

But after the confinement period, the previous minor problem recurred and I didn’t want to eat any vegetables at all.

"They all bullied me!"

He muttered something quietly, then took a sip of milk tea happily.

The Queen Mother pretended not to hear and continued with what she was doing without saying a word.

"Eji, is Mulan Paddock fun?"

Harigana was quite curious about that place, not because of anything else, but because of Xiaoyanzi.

She still remembers that arrow shot.
