"Forget it, you'd better stop talking!"
Harigana knew without a doubt that the two children were fine, and even if something really happened, he would be able to calm down if he was given some time.
It’s not that I’m not worried, but only after I calm down can I accurately find the loophole and catch the murderer.
This is also what an emperor should have, a strong mind.
Kangxi's mouth was covered, and the words he wanted to explain were blocked in his throat.
"No need to cancel. It wouldn't sound good if you suddenly canceled after promising to do so.
Don't worry, I won't be angry.
You didn't know this would happen, it just happened by chance.
Family matters should be resolved behind closed doors and not be laughed at by outsiders.
Prince Kang just returned and you made a slip of the tongue. Who knows what will become of it if it gets out."
After saying that, Harigana let go of his hand and leaned into his arms: "Let me calm down, it will be fine in a while.
If you can, I can do it too. I definitely can do it."
Kangxi reached out and hugged the person, touching her head with his big palm. He felt distressed, but couldn't say anything.
Just stay with her quietly and don't bother her anymore.
After a long while, Harigana sat up from his arms and said, “I’m still a little sad, but I can bear it.
You have to promise me that you will catch him as soon as possible."
Her beautiful eyes were filled with sleepiness and her voice was full of grievance, which almost broke Kangxi's heart.
"Jiaojiao, I promise you, I will catch the person as soon as possible and punish him severely."
As soon as he finished speaking, tear marks appeared on his cheeks.
Her hands tightly grasped his collar: "Xuanye, have I become bad?"
He looked nervous, as if he had made some mistake, afraid that Kangxi would say yes.
"Jiaojiao, that's what they deserve, don't overthink it.
Leave this matter to me, dear!"
She laid in his arms again, hugging his waist: "Okay, okay. I'll leave it to you. I trust you."
The voice was very soft, but it was like Mount Tai, weighing heavily on Kangxi's heart.
Lunch time had passed a long time ago. Although I wasn't hungry, I had a banquet in the evening, so I still had some warm food and ate a few bites.
At the palace banquet in the evening, the Empress Dowager arrived a little early on purpose. When she heard that Kangxi and Harigana walked into the hall hand in hand, she was stunned.
They really look like Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu.
Do you still want to persist?
The Queen Mother had been paying attention to the expression of the Grand Empress Dowager. When she noticed that she was in a trance, she knew that she was reveling in the sorrows and joys of life again.
She pursed her lips and looked at the two people approaching, thinking that they were a perfect match.
After the two were seated, Li Dequan called them up at Kangxi's signal.
Even though she had heard it many times, she was still curious when she heard the phrase "Get up~~~" again.
It's just one word, how did Li Dequan make such a complete change?
There were many high-ranking concubines at the palace banquets in the past.
But now, apart from the Imperial Noble Consort who sits side by side with the Emperor on the high platform, there are Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong below, and the rest are just a few concubines.
As for those below the rank of concubine, Kangxi simply did not allow them to participate.
This was the first time Harigana saw Dai Zi in person. He didn't expect that he looked so young now.
"Dai Zi, I heard from Prince Kang that you made an indelible contribution to this battle."
After Kangxi finished speaking, he waved his hand and Li Dequan came forward with the imperial edict: "Dai Zi, listen to my order!"
Dai Zi knelt on the ground respectfully. He thought about giving him gold, silver and treasures, but he never thought about directly appointing him as General Weiyuan.
Not only Dai Zi was surprised, but everyone else was also shocked.
Harigana didn't understand the inside story of these titles, he just thought they were very impressive.
Later on, she and Kangxi would slowly infiltrate the situation, and they couldn't let a talented person like Dai Zi be buried.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
Dai Zi took the imperial edict with tears in his eyes.
Dai Zi's wife sat quietly in her seat wiping her tears. She was really happy for Dai Zi when she thought about how a weak scholar had given up writing to join the army and now had such achievements.
Of course, Prince Kang was also surprised. He did not expect Kangxi to give such a reward, but it was also reasonable.
When everything was over, Harigana suddenly tugged at Kangxi's sleeve and said, "Xuanye, where are the soldiers?"
Kangxi quietly placed her hand in his palm and said, "The soldiers will receive more food and bonus silver.
As for those who died on the battlefield, the imperial court will also provide appropriate compensation."
Harigana nodded. Casualties on the battlefield were inevitable, but it still sounded unpleasant.
He sighed and said, "Can we use the names of Bao Bao and Bei Bei to give some rewards to those soldiers?
And for those who have passed away, give them more silver."
Although Kangxi did not say it out loud, she still had an idea of his plan.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, she spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy her son prestige in the army, which would be more popular than winning him over when he grows up.
Especially the families of the deceased, they will definitely publicize it after receiving comfort.
Although it is shameful to exploit people's hearts to gain benefits for the baby, she still wants to do it.
If you have decided to take that path, you should pave the way in advance.
Besides, even if the baby doesn’t take over in the future, the good connections he has accumulated won’t make him very sad.
Kangxi held Harigana's hand tightly, his eyes always showing approval and affirmation.
"Yes, but I can't talk about this today. I can only talk about it at the court tomorrow morning."
Harigana shook his head: "Xuanye, just give it quietly, it's just for those soldiers, there's no need to make a big fuss.
Just donating some silver and bringing it to the court is like showing off.
The right thing to do is to keep a low profile and let the soldiers get the benefits. Don't think too much about the rest.
I'm not short of money, and my reputation is just so-so, so I don't care."
Kangxi felt so comfortable that he couldn't express it in words. If it weren't at the banquet, he would have hugged her tightly to let her feel how excited he was.
"Okay, listen to Jiaojiao!"
The people below looked at the emperor and the imperial concubine whispering, especially seeing a hint of excitement on Kangxi's face, they envied their feelings.
The Grand Empress Dowager left early again, but this time the Empress Dowager was not too late. She returned to Ningshou Palace not long after the Grand Empress Dowager left.
When the banquet ended, it was already one quarter past ten.
Kangxi and Harigana went back to change into light clothes and returned to the Qianqing Palace through the back door.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
When Prince Yu and his wife and Prince Kang saw Kangxi and Harigana wanting to salute them, Kangxi simply reached out and held them back, preventing them from kneeling.
"Brother, cousin, we are family, there is no need to be so polite."
It was the first time that Harigana saw the two wives in private. One of them was standing with her hand on her waist and a big belly, while the other was standing gently beside her.
She smiled at them: "Emperor's sister-in-law, cousin's sister-in-law!"
They were seated quickly, and the servants set the table and left, leaving only the six of them sitting at the dining table.
"Li Dequan!"
Seeing that Princess Kangxi was not sitting comfortably, Harigana stopped Li Dequan who was about to leave and said, "Go to the side hall and bring me the special chair."
"Yes! I'll go right away!"
Kangxi had long been accustomed to Li Dequan's servile behavior. As long as Harigana asked him to do something, he would agree to it without even looking at him.
But the other people were a little frightened, especially the two wives, who suddenly felt a little nervous.
I thought he was a gentle person, but it turned out that he even had to customize his own chair. I think he must be difficult to get along with. It’s better to be careful.
