Qingyao came out of Hesheli Mansion, got on the carriage directly, and said in a deep voice: "Return to the palace."

Qingyao sat in the carriage, her mind racing. She raised her hand to lift the curtain and said, "Let's go directly to the Qianqing Palace."

There was no conversation along the way, and the carriage soon arrived at the Qianqing Palace. After Qingyao got off the carriage, she walked straight to the main hall. Liang Jiugong, the chief steward of the imperial court, was waiting outside. Upon seeing her arrival, he hurried forward to pay his respects, "Your servant greets the Empress. The Emperor is waiting for you inside."

Qingyao nodded slightly and walked into the palace. Kangxi was busy reviewing the first batch of memorials when he heard footsteps. He looked up and said, "Qingqing, are you back from outside the palace?"

Qingyao knelt and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Kangxi stood up and strode over to her side, offering her a hand to help her up. "There's no outsider here, no need to be polite."

Qingyao stood up under his force: "I will obey your Majesty."

Kangxi smiled and said, "Qingqing, have you explained everything clearly to your Mafa and your father?"

Qingyao nodded gently, "It's all made clear. My father and Mafa said they would look after the Hesheli clan and would not embarrass His Majesty."

Kangxi held Qingyao's delicate little hand tightly and spoke softly, "I know very well that even your father can sometimes overlook things, and there's still your Mafa. Think of that famous chief of the Four Ministers back then. He was a man of great experience and wisdom. How could he allow those in the clan to act recklessly and recklessly? He will definitely uphold the family rules and order and will not hinder Chenghu."

Qingyao smiled and responded, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I, Mafa, will definitely not disappoint you."

Kangxi stroked Qingyao's face and said, "With you by my side, I feel very safe."

Qingyao lowered her head shyly, her heart filled with sweetness.

At this time, Liang Jiugong walked in and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, Suo Etu requests to see you."

Kangxi frowned slightly and let go of Qingyao's hand. "Let him in."

Suo Etu walked into the hall and knelt down to pay his respects: "Your servant pays homage to the emperor."

Kangxi sat back down at the imperial desk and asked, "What do you want to report?"

Suo Etu stood up, glanced at Qing Yao, and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that someone from the Hesheli clan behaved improperly and caused trouble."

Kangxi's eyes turned cold. "I am aware of this matter. Since the Hesheli clan has been handed over to your father's care, you should handle it properly and not cause any more trouble."

Suo Etu quickly bowed his head and said, "I understand. I will definitely tell my father."

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Step back."

Soetu responded and left the hall.

Qingyao looked at Kangxi and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am a little worried about the future of the Hesheli clan..."

Kangxi comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

Kangxi held Qingyao's hand and solemnly promised, "I will protect you and your family." Qingyao was moved to tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, Kangxi began to handle government affairs, while Qingyao quietly accompanied him.

As time passed, the Hesheli clan gradually settled down under Gabula's management, and some of the restless ones were punished.

Kunning Palace

Qingyao received the letter from her mother and opened it. "Chunyu, go back to the palace and tell my Mafa to tell those troublemakers not to cause trouble for me and the Crown Prince outside the palace. If someone reports them to His Majesty, they should not bring a petition into the palace asking me to plead for mercy, nor should they go to the Crown Prince and his brothers' residences to ask them to plead for mercy."

Chunyu, the palace maid beside Qingyao, hurried away after receiving the order.

Soon, Chunyu returned to the palace to report to Qingyao that the restless people had been taught a lesson and promised not to cause trouble again. Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and her worries were greatly alleviated.

After that, Qingyao lived peacefully in the palace, doing her best to handle the trivial matters of the harem, and Kangxi became more and more fond of her. With the joint efforts of the two, life in the palace became more peaceful and tranquil.

Kangxi frowned slightly, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes. He gently stroked the jade ring in his hand and slowly said, "Liang Jiugong, have all the items prepared by the Knitting Bureau for the Crown Prince's enthronement been prepared?

Liang Jiugong: "In reply to Your Majesty, the Knitting Bureau said that everything the Crown Prince needs is almost ready, and they are currently preparing the auspicious attire for the Crown Princess."
