The other seven people were all looking at the two of them, and only started to pick up their chopsticks after Harigana took the first bite of the dish with a red face.
Among the nine people, all of them except Harigana can drink. Seeing them drinking happily, I felt itchy in my heart too.
She didn't drink before because she was afraid that Kangxi would torment her endlessly, but he had just promised not to do anything wrong, so she was a little eager to try.
"what happened?"
Kangxi tilted his head and asked her quietly, feeling that she seemed to be struggling with something.
"I want to taste it, just a small bite."
He spoke to Kangxi in a low voice, afraid that others would hear him.
"it is good!"
How could he possibly refuse Harigana's request?
And today is her birthday, so naturally I have to make her happy.
He picked up his own glass and drank the remaining wine in it, then poured a small sip of new wine and placed it in front of her.
The two people thought they were doing it very secretly. In fact, although everyone at the table was chatting privately, their peripheral eyes were always watching them.
They first saw the emperor turn his head and ask the queen something, then the queen said something mysteriously to the emperor, and now seeing the queen holding the wine glass with satisfaction, they instantly understood everything.
Sainjia was a little worried, because she knew how much Harigana could drink.
But her worry was in vain. The emperor had already placed the wine glass next to her. If she said no now, it would definitely spoil everyone's fun.
Besides, the doting in the emperor's eyes was too obvious, and they didn't want to bring bad luck upon themselves.
"I can only take a small sip. It's a bit spicy."
Kangxi looked at her little appearance with great admiration and regretted not bringing out the wine brewed specially for her in the palace.
"it is good."
Harigana originally wanted to drink it quietly, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt that the surroundings were very quiet.
He stiffly turned his head to look sideways, and then met several pairs of eyes.
Kangxi couldn't help but almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Jiaojiao, don't you want to have a drink with everyone?"
How could he not see what the person next to him was planning? He definitely wanted to take a sip quietly and not let them see.
Being stared at like this by everyone, his little head must be dumbfounded.
"Mm-hmm! Right!"
It’s not that Harigana didn’t react, but he felt a little embarrassed.
He took the wine glass and began to express his gratitude to everyone one by one. Finally, he looked at Kangxi and said, "Xuanye, thank you too."
Kangxi held the wine glass in her hand and patted her shoulder gently without saying anything.
Li Dequan was very tactful and did not ask anyone to replace it with a new one. Even if it was replaced by the emperor, he would definitely not use it.
Moreover, didn’t you see the emperor’s hand slide down from his shoulder and quietly rest on the living ancestor’s knee?
No eyes to see, no eyes to see.
It was not that Li Dequan wanted to see it, but as the chief eunuch, he needed to stand not too far from the emperor and wait to serve him.
Not only him, but Du Lan was also standing with him and saw it clearly.
"Sister-in-law, this is how we should hold our second brother's birthday party from now on.
It's really fun to be together as a family, and there's no need to be so serious."
Prince Yu drank the wine offered by Harigana, put down his glass and felt very envious.
Prince Kang also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, banquets are really boring. It's more comfortable to be together as a family."
Kangxi, who was originally very happy, suddenly became unhappy.
They could all hold their birthday parties privately, but he couldn't.
As an emperor, if he didn't even hold a birthday celebration, the people might think that the treasury had no money, which would lead to public unrest.
Harigana really just took a light sip, and in that instant, his lips became numb and tingling, and finally even his mouth felt spicy.
"Hoo~!"
He put down his wine glass, covered his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
Kangxi quickly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and said, "Take a bite."
The remaining seven people looked at the two of them like this and felt that they were full and satisfied.
Some even feel a little overwhelmed.
Harigana didn't feel embarrassed at all, since they were husband and wife after all.
Besides, Kangxi treated her well, so why should she be embarrassed?
"My lady, it's time to cut the cake."
Du Lan went up to remind him at the right time.
"it is good."
The cake was made in advance by the chefs from the small kitchen of Qingxi Palace who came to the Duke's Mansion. They made it with great care and I don't know how they even put a phoenix on it.
Kangxi was very happy and gave all the rewards with a wave of his hand.
"Xuanye, where did you get the silver?"
After cutting the cake, Harigana tugged at the man's sleeve and looked at him with a half-smile: "Didn't you say that everything in the private vault is mine?"
Kangxi's body stiffened, as if he had forgotten that he was an emperor without money.
He grabbed her little hand and gently tickled her soft palm twice: "Jiaojiao."
Harigana covered her mouth and chuckled. Kangxi was quite funny like this.
She took the cake from the side and placed it in front of him: "Eat it, it's all eaten."
Prince Yu looked at Kangxi eating the cake with tears in his eyes, and thought of his younger brother who had once stolen wine for him.
At that time, Kangxi had just returned from Zhuangzi, and except for Prince Yu, everyone else tried to hide.
He was the only one who thought his younger brother was brave and would play with him from time to time.
Now his younger brother has finally found someone to spend his life with, and the promise he made to Tong E'niang to take care of him has finally come true.
From now on, his younger brother won’t need him to look after him, as there will be someone by his side all the time.
He picked up the wine glass beside him and poured it down his throat, trying to hide the tears in his eyes.
No one noticed his change except Prince Yu's wife.
"Eat some vegetables."
Prince Yu's wife picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it on her plate, looking at him with eyes full of heartache.
"it is good!"
While saying yes, he had already grabbed her hand and placed it on her knees, patting her gently.
Everything happened quietly and no one noticed.
I don’t know if it was because Harigana didn’t drink enough or because she had some alcohol tolerance, but later she secretly took two more sips and nothing happened to her.
Not only did she find it strange, but Kangxi also found it magical.
"Jiaojiao, aren't you dizzy?"
The Queen Mother stayed at the Duke's Mansion with several children, saying that she would stay for two days before going back, so only the two of them returned to the palace.
Looking at the energetic person in his arms, who was not at all drowsy like in previous times, Kangxi felt a little confused.
"Not dizzy, isn't it amazing?"
I lowered the car curtains. It was pitch black outside and there was nothing to see.
Kangxi happened to be talking to her, so she leaned on him and answered lazily.
“Well, it’s amazing.
It seems that Jiaojiao can drink one less glass with me from now on, which is good."
Harigana rolled his eyes at him and knew that he wouldn't be serious for long.
As soon as she entered Qingxi Palace, Little Lizi brought a whole yard of servants to pay her respects.
"May Her Majesty the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
