What title do you want for Chapter 96?

What title do you want for Chapter 96?

Fanghua chuckled and patted Xiaofeng's head. "You figured it out, didn't you? You're stronger than it, so why are you afraid of it? Just don't let it in again." Without her permission, Longling can't get in here either.

Even if it finds a master in the future, no one can force her to agree, right?

"Master, I knew you were the best. Xiao Feng loves you so much."

Fanghua no longer cared about Long Ling's matter and was now waiting for Yinreng's arrival.

There's still plenty of time. She needs to take good care of herself during these few years of absence and train some skilled people so that she can better protect her two children.

Naturally, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes of her past life, her relationship with the emperor also had to change.

Without the Empress Dowager stirring things up in this life, their 'marital' relationship will probably change.

Currently, only Lady Ma Jia is pregnant in the harem, and everyone else is envious, trying every means to secure the opportunity to bear children for themselves.

Unfortunately, it is currently the Empress Dowager's mourning period, and the ministers of the previous dynasty have not yet begun to persuade the Emperor to use months instead of years, so the three-year mourning period has been set.

If no offspring are produced for three years, countless people will be anxious and impatient. If an heir were to be born at this time, the emperor's display of filial piety would be laughable.

Since she cannot bear children, some smart people should know what to do. The harem can be more stable for a while, though not long, but it will save a lot of trouble and give her time to organize the Imperial Household Department.

That place has a diverse population, so it will take some effort.

I just don't know if the Emperor will intervene.

If the Emperor wants to get involved, she'd better be careful, since that place is very sensitive.

···

When it came time for Su Ma's burial, Emperor Kangxi actually helped carry her coffin, which was truly an eye-opener.

It's quite an honor for the Aisin Gioro clan that a dignified emperor would serve as a pallbearer for a mere servant.

Fanghua, as the Empress, naturally had the intention to offer advice, but so what? She was just the Empress, not the Empress Dowager.

However, this matter also greatly displeased the court officials, especially the members of the Hesheli clan.

The Emperor has been suppressing the matter of the Empress's poisoning without giving a result. Those who know the inside story understand that the person who poisoned the Empress was Su. So what is the Emperor doing now?

Where does he put the Empress's dignity?

While the court was in uproar, everyone in the harem remained as silent as ink, unsure whether they were laughing at the Empress or not.

Fanghua didn't care at all; she was probably numb to the injury, and such a small injury couldn't stir any ripples in her heart.

Emperor Kangxi eventually developed a headache from the noise and lashed out at several people before the court finally quieted down.

That day, Fanghua was dealing with the account books sent by the Imperial Household Department when Kangxi came to Kunning Palace.

This was his first visit since Su Ma's funeral; a month had passed since his last visit to Kunning Palace.

"I was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival; I have failed to greet you properly." Fanghua's tone carried a hint of teasing.

This makes it seem like she's offering the emperor a way out.

Emperor Kangxi, being a tactful man, saw that the Empress was acting this way, so he stopped being awkward and immediately joked, "When did Fang'er become so polite to me? This is too formal."

The two got along very well, as if none of the previous incidents had happened.

"How dare I? If Your Majesty doesn't come soon, all the ladies in the harem will think I've fallen out of favor," Fanghua said, giving him a playful glare.

If you're going to pretend, then pretend to be as convincing as possible.

In any case, to outsiders, the couple appeared to have a very deep affection for each other, so how could their relationship be damaged by a servant?

Therefore, we can only pretend that this event did not exist.

Even if he brings it up, she has a way to deal with it.

"Who, who dares to speak ill of my Empress?" Kangxi's face immediately turned serious, as if he were really going to stand up for Fanghua.

But if Fanghua were to truly claim fame, he would probably have to think twice.

If she were a low-ranking concubine, he would have dealt with her accordingly. But if she had an extraordinary background, he probably wouldn't be so angry.

Fortunately, Fanghua was just saying it casually and didn't really intend to target anyone.

"Oh, Your Majesty is so generous." Fanghua's eyes were full of teasing.

"That's right, no one can compare to my Fang'er. In my heart, Fang'er is the most important person." Kangxi pretended to be affectionate and hugged her.

"Fang'er, I'm sorry. Su Ma has been kind to me. When I was a child, I had a hard life in the palace. She not only took care of me, but also saved me countless times."

Kangxi muttered a defense of his previous actions.

Can Fanghua expose him?

That's obviously not the case.

"Your Majesty," Fanghua said with a hint of heartache in her voice, "I understand. I know what kind of person Aunt Su is. Although I don't know why she treated me that way, I believe it wasn't her ability. She must have been deceived. Your Majesty, the dead should be respected. Let's leave this matter here. I know Your Majesty is in a difficult position."

She hugged him back, gently patting the back of his hand with her delicate hand, as if to comfort him, or perhaps to wipe away all her sorrow.

Only Fanghua herself knows the truth.

"Fang'er, I... I knew you understood me best." Kangxi's voice was slightly choked with emotion, as if he were deeply moved.

"That's right. We are husband and wife, so we should be one. I've heard about what happened in the previous dynasty, and I've sent a message home asking them to help the Emperor in court." Fanghua knew that her family had instigated her to take the lead this time, but what could she do? She had done everything she was supposed to do.

"The Emperor was merely repaying a debt of gratitude; they were making a mountain out of a molehill."

The couple finally resolved their differences.

Dinner was incredibly delicious.

"Fang'er, eat more. You've lost weight recently."

"Your Majesty, please eat more. You've lost a lot of weight."

He served her food, and she served him food in return. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were a very loving couple.

After dinner, he went to the backyard to play with Chenghu for a while. At this time, Kangxi dismissed all the servants, and only the three of them played in the house.

With fewer constraints, there is more genuine affection.

Chenghu kept calling out "Father Emperor" repeatedly.

In particular, the educational toy with the Lu Ban mechanism that Fanghua had someone make was something that the father and son had a lot of fun playing with.

The adoration from his son brought Emperor Kangxi, a father, both physical and mental satisfaction.

He disassembled the mechanism piece by piece until all the mechanisms were taken apart, and only then did Kangxi accept his son's adoration with satisfaction.

"Father Emperor is so amazing! I will be just as amazing in the future," Chenghu said threateningly.

Little did he know how much he suffered after starting school, trying to escape his father's demands for his studies.

She even admitted that she was innocent and outspoken when she was a child.

"Haha, good, Chenghu has great ambition. Then Father Emperor will wait for Chenghu to become Father Emperor's Baturu."

"Alright, Father Emperor, just wait and see. I will definitely become the strongest Baturu in the Qing Dynasty and protect you and Mother Emperor."
