Chapter 142: Recklessness
There are too many concubines who follow the rules in this palace, and Kangxi doesn't want Yunxi to become one of them, so from the time Yunxi entered the palace to the present, he subconsciously indulged her. Although it was not easy to start at first, the more times he understood what kind of character she was, and he no longer felt overwhelmed by her calm and self-controlled, on the contrary, he could get more pleasure from her different reactions every time.
Kangxi thought about the rules, calmness and detachment when he met her before, and then looked at the shyness on her face now and the little arrogance she showed from time to time, and the smile on the corner of her mouth unconsciously rose.
"I have always understood Xi'er's intentions, but I am only to blame for having too many things at hand, otherwise I would be looking forward to facing Xi'er day and night. He reached out and took Yunxi into his arms, looked at her flushed cheeks, and only felt that there was an indescribable liking.
The feeling was so complicated that it was even indescribable, and it seemed that he had never been so attached to a person except for the throne.
Sometimes, I know it's wrong, but I can't help but want to continue exploring.
Yunxi didn't take Kangxi to heart, there are so many concubines in the palace, who can guarantee that Kangxi has not said these words to others before. Rather than giving yourself unwarranted hope, it is better to cut off this thought in the first place.
The emperor laughed. Yunxi glanced up at Kangxi and said softly.
Kangxi listened to her words, unconsciously wrinkled his brows, and slowly exhaled, his voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone: "I didn't laugh?
He has been using his own methods to prove his sincerity to her, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have much effect.
"How could it not be taken to heart. Yunxi whispered her defense, but she felt a little weak when she heard this.
Fortunately, Kangxi didn't get to the bottom of it, but changed the topic and asked about Jingren Palace: "I heard that you have been going to Jingren Palace a lot recently, but the concubine is looking for you again?"
Yunxi was stunned by his question, and when she came back to her senses, she knew that if Wu Yashi didn't say anything, or she instigated others to speak in front of Kangxi, she couldn't help laughing: "Since the last time the concubine gave the concubine Niangniang the steps to start, the concubine's attitude has changed a lot, plus there are children, but she can still say a few words to the concubine, so from time to time I will ask the concubine to ask how to get along with the little brother." Although the concubine has no experience, it is still okay to give an opinion. After she finished speaking, Fu raised her head again to meet Kangxi's eyes, and said seriously: "The concubine Niangniang thinks more carefully than the concubine, at least she knows how to learn, not to show others." β
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile: "I know that the concubine has changed a lot during this time, and she is also very good to the fourth child, but ......"
He had his considerations, he would have handed over the fourth child to the Tong family to raise at the beginning, one was that the Tong family was not pregnant, and the other was that the Empress Dowager did not want the Tong family to have two queens in a row, and he felt guilty about the Tong family while agreeing with the Empress Dowager's decision, so he complied with the Tong family's wishes and let her hold the fourth queen.
Yunxi was really helpless about Kangxi's guilty behavior at every turn, he felt guilty, so he picked up Wu Ya's by Tong Guifei, and then let her raise Wu Ya's child, and then Wu Ya's was favored, and he felt guilty about Wu Ya's again, so he gave her a position, and even acquiesced to her calculating Tong Guifei.
In this case, half of the battles in the harem were provoked by him personally, and as for whether he was really guilty or had another purpose, he was extremely afraid to think about it.
She couldn't think too much, she was afraid that she would fall into a strange circle that no one dared to believe, and she was afraid that she would never be able to face the man in front of her again, so she stopped her idea of breaking through the boundary in time, looked at him and said: "The emperor has concerns, and the concubines know it, but the concubine's motherly heart is still recognized." It's just that the fourth elder brother is so young that he really can't bear too much, so the emperor should think about one or two for him. β
When Yunxi said this, his eyes were slightly shy, and his eyes met Kangxi's eyes, and he looked away a little embarrassed.
She didn't want to take advantage of this moment to say these disappointing words, but Kangxi mentioned Jingren Palace, so she took the opportunity to pull the topic out, which can be regarded as paving the way for Concubine Tong to succeed the fourth elder brother.
"Fourth, is there anything wrong with him?" Kangxi looked at Yunxi with some confusion, as if he wanted to know the meaning of her words.
Although Yunxi didn't want to talk about a child, it was a good thing for him to be able to clarify his belonging, after all, although the fourth elder brother in the previous life became the final winner, but between his biological mother and adoptive mother, the harm he suffered was unimaginable.
Some injuries are not experienced personally, and you may never know how unbearable the pain can be.
It is said that pushing oneself and others, Yunxi also lived a very painful life in his previous life, and the feeling of being cut by a blunt knife is really painful, and life is worse than death. Maybe it's because of such the same experience that Yunxi has a trace of pity for the fourth elder brother who is still a child, otherwise she can't care about the fourth elder brother being mixed between his biological mother and adoptive mother, whether he is embarrassed or painful.
"The emperor may never have thought about what kind of situation a child will be like when he is mixed between his biological mother and his adoptive mother? Both sides are Eniang, if the relationship is good, if the relationship is not good, what does the emperor think a child must do to satisfy everyone?" Yunxi sighed, with a trace of pity for the child on his delicate little face.
Kangxi may have never thought about this, in fact, there are palace rules in the palace, and it is not only concubines who have to act according to the rules, but also Ah Gegege, and even sometimes Kangxi, the emperor, has to compromise.
Concubines in low positions are not qualified to raise children, and they are basically raised by concubines in high positions, unless there are special exceptions, there is generally no change. Like Wu Yashi, he is not the first or the last, but he is the only one who dares to ignore the child's feelings and safety just to achieve the goal.
"Yes, what does a child have to do to satisfy everyone!" Kangxi said in a low voice, with a hint of abruptness in his tone.
The two of them were silent for a long time and didn't say anything more, but they had their own tastes in their hearts, and they couldn't tell whether they were happy or sad.
The Empress Dowager once said that Kangxi was born an emperor, with a calm and calm temperament, even if he likes and dislikes clearly, he is flawed. But at this time, he was deeply involved in the battle of the harem concubines, and even the battle itself was provoked by himself, and he thought inexplicably for a while before Kangxi spoke again: "Maybe I should have been more decisive at the beginning, even if it involves too much, but Xi'er is right, the fourth child is just a child, and he is not wrong." β
If others don't point out some things, they may feel that there is no problem no matter how they look at it, such as Tong Guifei's motherly heart and Wu Ya's love for children, both of them seem to be doing what they should do, but they forgot that the fourth elder brother is a young child, and they have no choice from the beginning, and now they don't know how to choose.
"Since the emperor feels sorry for the fourth elder brother, he cares about him, after all, the children need Amma's care. Yunxi chuckled, and didn't seem to care that Kangxi was better for this child.
This is the second time that Yunxi has helped the fourth elder brother fight for interests, although it is not deliberate, but it is enough to prove that Yunxi is more inexplicably soft-hearted towards children than others.
Kangxi looked at Yunxi who was sitting quietly on the side, and his heart couldn't help but soften into a puddle of water, he didn't have many requirements for women, ambition and means are not a big deal, as long as he has a sincerity, whether it is for him or for his children, he can be tolerant, but unfortunately there are very few people who understand this.
His mood at the moment was a little complicated, before coming to Yonghe Palace, he was still sighing in his heart about Concubine Tong's growth and Wu Ya's motherly heart, but after listening to Yunxi's words, he suddenly felt that compared to Tong Guifei's growth, Wu Ya's motherly heart suddenly made people feel more hypocritical and cruel.
"Isn't Xi'er worried that I will ignore Fu Bao because I care too much about the fourth?" he said not to be tempted, but simply to know what was in her heart.
Yunxi raised his head, met Kangxi's eyes, and said with a serious face: "The concubine doesn't like Concubine Tong, and she is also on guard against the Wuya nobles, if the fourth elder brother is not the emperor's child, the concubine is afraid that she will not do anything more, so the concubine has done her best in this matter, as for whether it is successful or not, or whether it changes or not, the concubine does not care." β
Kangxi knows that Yunxi has never been a person who takes the initiative to cause trouble, but she is not a bad kind-hearted person, she is calm and self-conscious, as long as others do not take the initiative to offend her, she will not be okay to find trouble, like now, for the fourth child to stand out, in fact, as she herself said, if it is not related to him, she is afraid that she will not even say a word.
"I understand, I'll think about it over there. After Kangxi said this, looking at Yunxi's noncommittal appearance of his words, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly deepened: "Xi'er doesn't believe it?"
Yunxi really didn't believe it.
And she can see that Kangxi really values the heirs, but everything has a premise, that is, know how to fight, otherwise there are so many concubines and elder brothers, why do she have to be reminded by an outsider of the suffering of the fourth elder brother.
As the king of a country, Kangxi has too many things to do, and too many things to manage, if no one puts things in front of him, it will be difficult for him to remember, or even remember.
She was silent, but her attitude was obvious.
Kangxi looked at her like this, and did not get angry because she didn't believe in herself, on the contrary, he said with a smile: "I understand Xi'er's intentions, and I also know the situation of the fourth child, this is my mistake." I didn't notice it before, but now I know it's wrong, but I can't just change it. β
Yunxi listened to his words, her expression was slightly stunned, if she always felt that she had not thought out something before, then at this moment, she realized how naΓ―ve her previous plan was.
Kangxi's various arrangements after his pro-government are indeed terrifying, but it is undeniable that his arrangements are very necessary, after all, there is still a big difference between an emperor who has no real power and an emperor who has real power.
Thinking of this, Yunxi lowered her eyes, realized her inconsiderate side, and couldn't help but apologize in a low voice: "It's the concubine who is too reckless and has caused trouble to the emperor." β
