Li Dequan looked at Du Lan's bright eyes and quietly took a step back.

I thought to myself: I wonder what the little girl is thinking. I'd better stand further away to prevent her from saying something that would scare him to death.

Inside the hall, Harigana hugged Kangxi's neck and refused to get off him.

"Jiaojiao, come down quickly. We need to wash up and eat. The food will get cold soon."

Knowing her concerns, he coaxed her, "Jiaojiao, it's okay, they are all people around us, not outsiders, right?

Besides, you are my queen. Isn’t it normal for couples to quarrel like this?

Be good and don’t be shy.”

Harigana still didn't let go, but raised his head to look at him, then suddenly hid back.

"Are you going to coax me down and then beat me up?"

Her voice was muffled, and she held his hand tighter.

Kangxi felt like he was almost strangled to death.

"Jiaojiao, I can't bear to hit you. Stop slandering me and come down quickly."

Harigana shook his head: "You are lying, your face is dark, and your voice is wrong. You just want to hit me."

The voice is as aggrieved as it can be.

"Jiaojiao, you're hugging me too tightly. I'm going to, cough cough cough, I'm going to die."

Is he in blackface?

His face turned purple from holding it in.

Hearing Kangxi's cough, Harigana quickly let him go: "Xuanye, are you okay?"

"It's okay, just take a moment."

He held the person tightly, turned his head and took a deep breath.

"Jiaojiao, this birthday party is something I will never forget."

After calming down, he looked at the person in his arms with a guilty look on her face and chuckled and teased her.

He clearly just wanted to seek comfort, but ended up being nearly strangled to death by her.

"I didn't mean it."

Harigana pursed his lips and retorted, "Besides, if you hadn't been so bored and sad, how could things have turned out like this?"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

Kangxi didn't dare to say anything more and quickly admitted his mistake.

Harigana actually had something else to say, but Li Dequan and Du Lan came in so quickly that she didn't have time to say it. Now that it was over, she couldn't say it anymore.

But it was a good thing that she didn't say it, otherwise Kangxi would have punished her severely.

After all this commotion, time passed quickly, and by the time Kangxi changed into court clothes and went to the imperial study, the time was just right.

"Princess, you are amazing."

Dulan leaned over to Harigana's ear and whispered something, then looked at her with admiration.

Although the beautiful princess knew that the emperor would give in to her, she had also heard her angry voice.

But today's scene was so exciting, even more exciting than what was written in the picture book.

"You, please control your expression."

Du Lan immediately retracted her smile, but it was only for a moment, and in less than a moment, her eight teeth were exposed again.

......

May 1684, (the rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi).

Historical records show that in this year Emperor Kangxi went to the south of the Yangtze River with the Empress, several concubines, and princes.

Although he brought concubines from the harem, only the Empress was by the Emperor's side.

According to unofficial historical records, the emperor actually only brought five concubines, including the empress.

It's not that he didn't want to take her with him, but the Empress was too tough. In the second year after she was crowned Empress, she asked the Emperor to disband the harem. The remaining ones were all old and ugly and posed no threat to her.

However, the official history records that the emperor was in love with the empress alone, and he ignored the opposition and dismissed the harem, leaving no one behind.

It was only because the Empress Dowager interceded that the concubines who had given birth to princes and princesses were allowed to stay in the palace to retire.

In short, there are different opinions.

Later, some people said that history was written by Shengjia, so the unofficial history was correct.

But some people also say that official history is official history and historians will not write nonsense.

But these have nothing to do with Kangxi and Harigana. They are now happily chatting in the carriage.

"Jiaojiao, so happy?"

Holding someone in the car, there is ice not far away.

When Li Dequan first took the ice cubes, he was a little surprised. Although it was May, it shouldn't be so bad that he needed ice cubes, right?

Later, a breeze blew and lifted a corner of the curtain. Then it was realized that the emperor wanted to hug the empress, but was afraid that the empress would dislike his body being too hot, so he took precautions in advance.

"Yeah, I'm very happy. Who wouldn't be happy to be able to go out and have fun?"

Kangxi's carriage was in the front, followed by the empress dowager, Sainjia, and Huifei and others.

Bumbutai did not come out with them. She was too old to make such trouble.

There were two concubines who did not come out with them: Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong who was under house arrest. All the other concubines came out.

Don’t underestimate this, there are actually less than a dozen people.

"Xuanye, will you take me on horseback riding later?"

She quietly lifted the curtain and looked at Baoliri, Prince Kang and others riding horses with a few children. She also felt a little eager.

After returning from Mulan Paddock, she never rode a horse properly again.

Before, when I was on the grassland, I didn’t think there was anything wrong, probably because I could ride a horse anytime.

"Okay, wait until we get to the open area ahead and I'll take you on horseback."

Kangxi naturally agreed to Harigana's request readily.

After saying that, she lifted the curtain and told Li Dequan something. Hearing that he only wanted a horse, Harigana wanted to refuse, but Kangxi saw her intention, pinched her waist, and then watched Li Dequan run away.

"Jiaojiao, you haven't ridden a horse for a long time, so it's better for me to hold you.

And even though it's an open area, who can guarantee there's no danger, right?"

When Kangxi said these words, his face remained calm and his heart remained calm, which made Harigana want to hit someone.

Without saying anything, he lifted a corner of the curtain and said, "So they are not dangerous?"

Looking through the gap in the curtain, there were Yinzhi, Yinqi, Yinfu and Bayalige, and next to them were Sunbuji, Agula, and the children of Prince Kang and Prince Yu.

Kangxi touched his nose and said, "Jiaojiao, why don't you see how many people are following them?"

Harigana choked.

"You are right."

He pursed his lips but didn't object.

Although I did want to ride the horse myself, I didn't say I had to.

And what Kangxi said was right. What if?

She has no ability to protect herself, and now her horsemanship is not as good as Beibei's.

Thinking about this, I feel even worse!

"Jiaojiao, your husband is the emperor. If the emperor is unreasonable, who else do you want to make reasonable?"

Harigana no longer wanted to talk to him. No one knew what was wrong with her recently. Whenever she got the chance, she would spread her feathers like a peacock.

"Your Majesty, the horses are ready."

Li Dequan said quietly, holding a big and a small pony in his hands, and then handed the reins of the pony to Du Lan who was sitting outside the carriage.

"Eunuch Li, you are so kind."
