Chapter 181: Human Touch
Others may not be able to see the changes in Kangxi in recent years, but Kangxi knows in his heart that because of Yunxi's entry into the palace, he began to slowly have a human touch.
Yes, it's the human touch.
If before he was a man who only wanted to be a king with all his heart, then now he is a king with a lot of humanity, although he has been growing, he has not become a loner as many people imagined.
In the past few years, with Yunxi by his side, Kangxi has changed a lot, he used to think that cold and decisive is the key to doing things, after all, it is not a simple thing to shock those old foxes, but shocking and subduing are obviously two different things, and when he was affected by Yunxi and changed his strategy, he found that it was actually easier to buy people's hearts with appropriate tolerance and care.
Of course, this does not mean that Kangxi has no requirements, most of the people who can make him bother to buy are the mainstays of the younger generation, in other words, Kangxi's own team, as for the kind of old stubbornness that eats the ancients, even if Kangxi is not eliminated, he will not continue to connive, after all, he wants to become an emperor through the ages, not a puppet dominated by others.
Prince An's layout has been completed for the most part, and he will soon be able to regain the initiative, as for the Empress Dowager's side, Kangxi can't make much movement for the time being, he has to find out the bottom of the Empress Dowager first, after all, after three dynasties, the power and heritage cannot be compared with Kangxi, so even if you want to overthrow, you have to make sufficient preparations first.
Kangxi has never been a person who will let emotions control his reason, he is good at forbearance, and after so many things, he has become more and more calm. If there were still some clues in his expression before, then it is difficult for people to guess what he really thinks now.
After sorting out his thoughts, Kangxi also almost eliminated the side dishes on the kang table, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Kangxi's satisfied appearance made Liang Jiugong, who was not far away, want to cover his eyes. As long as it is in Yonghe Palace, what must be tested for poison before being served, and the rules that you can't eat the third bite of a dish are all decorations, and Liang Jiugong began to retreat very practically after understanding the difference between Kangxi and Zhao Concubine, and in the end, he no longer knew what other rules could be mentioned in Yonghe Palace.
After the slave removed the dishes, chopsticks, cups and plates, Kangxi took a sip of a cup of tea with satisfaction, and it was difficult to see that he was in a bad mood before. Looking at Fu Bao, who was full of food and drink, although he didn't take tea, but after letting Yunxi feed two sips of water, his little expression was exactly the same as Kangxi's, and Yunxi laughed when he saw this picture.
Kangxi glanced at Yunxi with a confused expression, and then looked at the constantly shrugged shoulders of Fubao and Liang Jiugong and others beside her, and couldn't help but put his fist against his lips and coughed twice as a warning.
Yunxi sat calmly, not taking Kangxi's warning in her eyes at all, she knew in her heart that as long as she didn't involve political affairs and didn't touch Kangxi's bottom line, he was very conniving with this kind of thing, not to mention that it was not the first time she had seen Kangxi's jokes, you must know that when Fubao was born, she didn't know how many jokes she had seen Kangxi!
Seeing this, Kangxi looked helpless, "Xi'er, I feel more and more that you don't care about my face at all now." ”
Kangxi said this with helplessness and comfort, on the one hand, he hoped that he would have enough face in front of Yunxi, and on the other hand, he hoped that Yunxi could get closer to him and open his heart to him, but there were some things he really couldn't say, after all, he was a man, or a group of countries, face must be wanted, and if he really wanted to tell him the real reason, he couldn't open his mouth, it was really ......
"Why do you have to care about face? Our family of three is relaxed and happy together, if everything is upright and rules, then what kind of family is it. Don't talk about concubines, just talk about Fubao, does the emperor want you to come, Fubao will abide by the rules in everything and distance himself from the emperor?" Yunxi naturally knew what Kangxi wanted to say, and she also knew his intentions, but she just didn't want to get used to him, after all, there were too many people in this palace who were following and even coaxing him, if she really chose to go with the flow, I am afraid it would be difficult to enter his heart like now, and even occupy a place in his heart.
When Kangxi heard this, he was suddenly stunned, this is really true, if Yunxi is really like other concubines, even if Kangxi will treat her well because of the grace of saving her life, but he will not be as sympathetic as he is now. looked at Shang Yunxi with a slightly puzzled look, knowing that she must be waiting for her answer, if he said no, she would definitely make him unbearable, so it was better to keep it like this, after all, the pressure on him in this harem was already very great, if even such a place that made him relaxed disappeared, Kangxi didn't know how to adjust his mood in the future.
"Xi'er is right, our family of three really doesn't need these curves, so it's good. "Kangxi is also helpless, who let him really take the beauty in front of him!
The corners of Yunxi's mouth raised slightly, and a pair of big eyes turned into two crescents because of her smile, and the crooked appearance of her eyebrows and eyes made Kangxi have an urge to spoil her for no reason. However, at the critical moment, Kangxi, who was hugged by his fat son's thigh, had to put away the indescribable thoughts in his head, coughed lightly, corrected his attitude, and began to coax his fat son to recite poems again.
Yunxi sat on the side, looking at the father and son learning in a playful way with a satisfied face, of course she knew that this way was temporary, but as long as she developed a habit, in the future, just by virtue of this name that was raised by Kangxi himself, Fubao would be better than others. Although sometimes it is wrong to be over-pampered, sometimes over-pampering can also become a reliance, so Yunxi can be low-key now, but she will definitely not let her children be so low-key in the future.
If Reliving only allowed her to save this life, instead of letting her and her children get the happiness they deserved, Yunxi would feel very incompetent. After all, God gave her a chance to start over, not to let her continue the mistakes of the previous life, if everything was afraid of wolves and tigers, it was better to let everything disappear the moment she died.
Fortunately, Yunxi knows what she wants, and she also knows what she needs to change, maybe she can't be perfect, let alone reborn, but she can try her best to change, instead of making the same mistake again because of boring compassion and compassion, that is the biggest change, and it is also her own biggest breakthrough and victory.
In fact, Yunxi has done a good job, from the moment she opened her eyes to the present, she has spent a lot of time to grow, she has not disrupted her life, she has not been dominated by hatred, and even in just a few years, she has grown rapidly, even if she can't satisfy everyone, she can't do whatever she wants, but at least she is no longer like before, she can only be passively pushed away.
Kangxi naturally didn't know what Yunxi was thinking, he just wanted to give her everything better in the future. Seeing that Fu Bao in his arms was tired of playing, and looked like he couldn't sleep, Kangxi coaxed him to sleep, and whispered in Yunxi's ear: "Xi'er, after a while, when your baby is firmly seated, I will make you a concubine." ”
This sentence made Yunxi's body shake suddenly, and he suddenly raised his head, looked at Kangxi in a daze, and said in disbelief: "What is the emperor talking about?
It's no wonder that Yunxi was surprised, after all, in terms of qualifications and family background, she really doesn't have an advantage, even if Concubine Rong and the others are not necessarily all big families, but they also have some relative background, if Yunxi really wants to pass these people and seal the concubine in advance, she feels that she will become the public enemy of the harem this time.
Kangxi looked at Yunxi's shocked appearance, couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, and looked down at Fubao who was almost awakened, Kangxi was slightly restrained, and then lightly touched Yunxi's Eniang, and said with a gentle look in his eyes: "Fool! In my heart, there is indeed no one who can compare with you, but I also know that if only you are named a concubine, it will not be good for you and the child, so I will promote Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine to concubines together." ”
He had already had an idea about the matter of Concubine Feng, but due to too many factors, he had not been able to settle down. Before, he planned to appoint the fourth concubine, but Yi Concubine's actions made him have to exclude her, as for the others, most of them will not change, and the positions of a few people will follow.
Hearing Kangxi say this, Yunxi's nose was slightly sour, and her eyes were slightly red, obviously she didn't expect Kangxi to think so much about her, as for why she only sealed the third concubine instead of the fourth concubine, Yunxi didn't care at all, after all, this concubine in addition to her qualifications and family background, she also paid attention to her heirs, and in the previous life, Yi Concubine successfully sealed the concubine, and in this life, Kangxi actually excluded her, so it is impossible for Yunxi to say good things about her enemies, and she is not stupid.
Yunxi's hand wrapped around Kangxi's neck, her chin rested against his shoulder, and her originally frozen heart cracked a crack at this moment, and her resistance to Kangxi, not to mention that it was not a collapse, was no longer as firm as before. She lost everything in the past, although it was not that no one was distressed, but she was distressed and did not end well, and in this life she finally met someone who could protect her, but if this person is the emperor, she will never belong to her alone.
Thinking of this, Yunxi only felt that his eyes were blurry, and tears unconsciously slipped from his eyes, and finally dripped on Kangxi's bright yellow dragon robe, slowly dispersing. She has always known that tears are taboo in the palace, and as a concubine, she should not cry at will, but at this moment, it is difficult for her to suppress her inner feelings, and she can't face others calmly.
Sometimes she will also complain to God, why give happiness but can't give completeness, if you don't give completeness, it's just that, why do you have to fight for this point. Obviously, what she doesn't like the most is fighting, but she has to fight, because she can't afford to lose more than anything else.
Kangxi felt a little cold on his shoulder, and the moment he reached out and gently pushed away Yunxi, he saw that tears kept falling silently in her beautiful apricot eyes, unlike other people who cried pitifully, and no one else cried beautifully, but it made Kangxi feel extremely heartbroken, he reached out to wipe the tears from her face, but the more he wiped it, Kangxi wanted to take care of the Fubao in his arms, and at the same time wanted to coax Yunxi, he was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do, "Xi'er, what's wrong?" Or do you have an opinion about Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine being named concubines? If you don't like it, don't you want to be sealed? Don't cry, don't cry, okay?"
