The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi
Chapter 316: Making Sugar Figures
Pointing at the bundle on the carriage, he suppressed his nervousness and reached out to open it, but Kangxi hugged him in his arms: "Jiaojiao, inside is my gift for you. I'll show it to you tonight!"
Harigana really wanted to give him a blow.
That's not a gift for her at all, it's clearly intended to be her gift.
Being held and unable to move, she didn't struggle and just leaned on his shoulder to look at the scenery outside.
Kangxi is a really good person in every way, but I just discovered recently that he has really great demands and doesn't know what tiredness is.
He was obviously well-behaved when she was pregnant, but ever since that day when he started eating meat in the Qianqing Palace, he was thinking about how to torment her every day.
Kangxi could not hear the complaints in Harigana's heart, otherwise he would definitely say: He is lustful, but he is not a beast.
If you touch a pregnant woman, you are not a human being anymore.
"Jiaojiao, we can set off for Mulan Paddock in a few days."
It is almost August 20th now, so it is not too early to go hunting in the enclosure in four or five days.
After staying there for some time, you can set off back to Beijing.
After returning, he had a big surprise for Harigana.
"so fast!"
Harigana calculated the time and found that he had been out for a month. It would be almost mid-September when he returned from Mulan Paddock.
Time flies so fast, and another year is gone in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah! Time flies.
But Jiaojiao, don't worry, I will take you out whenever I have the chance."
Kangxi thought for a moment, then continued, "Let's wait and see next year. If possible, I'll take you to Jiangnan."
Harigana grew up on the grassland and should like the tranquility of the Jiangnan town.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is like spring all year round.
Especially in southern Yunnan, the flowers there are very beautiful, suitable for a beautiful lady like Harigana.
"Okay! Xuanye is the boss, I'm fine with whatever you say.
But you can’t break your rules because of me. If you can’t go next year, you can go the year after. There will always be time to go.
Going to the south of the Yangtze River is a small matter; matters in the court are the biggest.
I've already been to the Mountain Resort this year. If I go south next year, will the officials submit a memorial?"
She sat up straight, her tone full of concern, which made Kangxi feel warm inside.
I clearly wanted to go, but I never expressed my opinion to him, for fear that he would be embarrassed.
"Okay! Don't worry, I'll take it into consideration."
The hand holding the person tightened: "Jiaojiao, be good!"
Harigana looked at the ice in the carriage and could only let him hold it.
Li Dequan was really thoughtful. He put this thing in the carriage, and she couldn't even find an excuse that it was hot.
"Xuanye, can we move into Qingxi Palace after we return?"
"Yes! It's OK."
We chatted casually and soon arrived in town.
This time, Harigana took off her veil herself without Kangxi's reminder to avoid any accidents.
We walked and stopped, bought some toys for the children, saw a good restaurant, and had a bite to eat.
It was already dusk when we came out of the restaurant.
"Xuanye, it's really unique."
Two large lanterns were lit on the windows of every household. The lanterns were all made in the same way and were the same size.
Holding Kangxi's hand, the two of them strolled slowly, just like two ordinary people.
"Well! Good governance. I will commend the officials here when I return."
Harigana turned his head and gave him a blank look. He was worthy of being the emperor, still thinking about these things at this time.
Kangxi touched his nose and said he was just used to it. He had no other thoughts.
There was someone selling lanterns by the small bridge. I picked out a rabbit lantern and held it in my hand. I couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the ancient people.
"Xuanye, there's a candy man maker over there. How about we make one too?"
I don’t want to eat it, I just want to make one.
Kangxi naturally agreed and gave Li Dequan a look, and the latter went straight to wait in line.
"Jiaojiao, are you tired?"
Harigana shook his head and walked slowly. How could he be tired?
She regretted it as soon as she shook her head. She should have said she was tired and fell asleep directly when she got to the inn.
Is it too late to regret now?
"I'm glad you're not tired. I'll take you to the hot springs tonight. There's a hot spring pool nearby. I've had it prepared."
It was as if Kangxi had grasped her mind, making it impossible for her to refuse.
"Ma'am, you can go now."
Dulan quietly approached Harigana, but she simply ignored Kangxi.
The sugar figures were made very quickly. According to Harigana's requirements, one sugar figure had half the faces of two people.
"reward!"
Kangxi was very happy and asked Li Dequan to reward the old man.
Li Dequan immediately took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table. The old man wanted to stand up, but Kangxi stopped him: "Old man, your craft is so good, have you always been on the street?"
"Yeah, I've been here all along, supporting my family!"
The old man was holding the silver in his hand and smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.
Kangxi looked at his legs and asked, "Your legs?"
The old man took a look and waved his hand nonchalantly: "I was in the battlefield when I was young, and this is the wound left from that time.
It’s been many years, I’m used to it.”
Kangxi's expression tightened. Could it be that a person who had retired from the battlefield and had once fought for the Qing Dynasty had such a hard life?
Harigana walked up to him and quietly took his hand, then asked softly, "Old man, didn't the court compensate you?"
The old man sighed, looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then said, "The court does have a document stating that compensation will be given to disabled soldiers, but it's just talk. With so many people retiring every year, how can we afford it?"
Kangxi's face turned ugly in an instant. If it weren't for today, he wouldn't have known that such a situation would happen.
Li Dequan was worried. This ancestor was really good at picking. He found a corrupt official for the emperor in no time, and he even embezzled military funds.
Now, the emperor has something to do again.
"Li Dequan, ask clearly and find someone to investigate!"
Kangxi said in a deep voice, then thought for a moment: "Give this old man five hundred taels of silver, and we'll explain things to him after we leave. We can't let these people down."
Li Dequan responded quickly, and after watching Kangxi leave, he took out a silver note and placed it in his hand, whispering a few words into his ear.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground with his legs supported. Without saying anything, he kowtowed in the direction of Kangxi and Harigana.
"Old man, I'll have someone take you to get the silver later, please keep it safe.
Remember, don’t let anyone know about this.”
The old man nodded repeatedly, wiped his tears with his tattered sleeve, and looked at Li Dequan: "Sir, please tell that gentleman that I thank you!"
Li Dequan sighed and said, "I'll take it there, don't worry." He waved behind him and a young eunuch immediately came up and said, "Sir!"
"Take this old man to get the silver, and then send him home safely."
The young eunuch immediately responded and helped the old man pack his things.
Li Dequan did not stay long and turned around to find Kangxi and Harigana.
The lives of the common people are not as peaceful as the emperor thinks. This is what I have seen and encountered.
There are still many things I haven’t met!
