Chapter 1400
He even received the little Concubine Tong into the palace early in the morning for this reason.
Gu Hanyuan saw through Kangxi's thoughts.
In order for the subsequent plans to proceed smoothly, he decided to pressure Kangxi more.
He said with a subtle tone:
"Is Your Majesty planning to drug the sister of the Tongjia clan?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi was startled and admitted it frankly.
After all, sending one's own woman to another man was too shameful.
For this reason, he was not even willing to see the little Concubine Tong.
Anyway, once drugged, the little Concubine Tong would be at Wutian's mercy.
He could also pretend not to know.
Unfortunately, Kangxi's self-deception was punctured by Gu Hanyuan.
He said playfully:
"I asked Your Majesty for concubines to cultivate, however, if they are drugged, the effect of cultivation will not be good. I have to shamelessly ask Your Majesty to persuade her personally."
This was naturally Gu Hanyuan's nonsense.
But upon hearing this, Kangxi only felt a surge of blood rushing to the top of his head.
An intense sense of humiliation filled his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:
"Deceiving people..."
"What did Your Majesty say? Your voice is too small, I cannot hear you."
Gu Hanyuan's cold voice rang out.
Kangxi's mind, which had been blinded by anger, suddenly cleared.
Looking at the cold, deep eyes revealed on that Asura mask, he could not help but shudder.
Recognizing the situation, Kangxi said dejectedly:
"I... I understand. I will go and persuade her personally."
Kangxi finally gave in.
However, Gu Hanyuan still did not let him go.
He said meaningfully:
"Your Majesty might as well send her to the Tongjia clan's bedchamber, firstly for the sisters to reunite, and secondly to avoid trouble."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi's eyes twitched, and his complexion was extremely ugly.
However, the situation was stronger than the person.
And at this moment, he also had a bit of a "break the jar" mentality.
He gritted his teeth secretly:
"Your Excellency's words are reasonable."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction.
In reality, the two sister concubines he was about to obtain from Kangxi were not worth being too proud of.
What he truly cared about was Kangxi's attitude.
There are only zero and countless times for concessions.
Especially when Kangxi witnessed his peerless divine arts, he would only become more and more submissive.
It is extremely unreasonable for an emperor of a country to suffer such humiliation.
However, this was precisely caused by the situation in the Qing Guo at this time.
Externally, there was the Mongol Yuan eyeing them covetously, internally there was Prince Bao coveting the throne, and there was also Wu Sangui who was too big to be controlled.
The strongest assistance for Kangxi's entire force was Oboi, who had to be eliminated.
Without capturing and killing Oboi, he would never be able to hold power.
The current Kangxi not only lacked military power, but even his political power was constrained by the regent ministers.
Among his strongest experts, apart from Wei Dongting, there was only Yuan Chengzhi.
It was precisely this uniqueness that allowed Kangxi, as an emperor, to be manipulated by Gu Hanyuan at will.
Kangxi also could not help but feel listless at this moment.
Feeling that being an emperor was completely meaningless.
He even had a thought of abdicating to Prince Bao.
However, this thought was quickly extinguished by him.
He still had many ambitions that had not been realized.
Compared to the emperors of other countries who were either mediocre or incompetent, Kangxi was one of the few who took unifying the world as his goal.
Such a grand ideal forced him to be submissive, just to be able to obtain Wutian's power.
Even if that required paying a great price.
Subsequently, Kangxi led Gu Hanyuan to the Tongjia clan's bedchamber.
The journey was silent.
The two arrived at their destination.
They could vaguely hear the sound of women talking inside the door.
It was precisely the Tongjia clan and the little Concubine Tong who had been summoned.
A female voice as clear as an oriole leaving the valley asked suspiciously:
"Sister, why did His Majesty send me to you?"
The owner of the voice was precisely the little Concubine Tong.
A dignified and elegant female voice said in a difficult position:
"I also don't know what His Majesty is thinking, after all, it is not in accordance with etiquette."
The Tongjia clan also expressed extreme confusion.
She was actually quite favored by Kangxi.
But in recent years, Kangxi had been taking concubines very frequently 020.
So much so that even though she was favored, she could not see him a few times a month.
Her father, Tong Guowei, specifically sent her sister into the palace, also to unite and compete for favor.
The Tongjia clan had ambitions for the position of Empress.
Now that she was already a Noble Imperial Consort, the next step would be Noble Imperial Consort.
And above the Noble Imperial Consort was the Empress.
But she had not yet conceived an heir, so she inevitably lacked confidence.
She had originally thought that after the little Concubine Tong entered the palace, the sisters would work together to keep Kangxi's attention on them.
The little Concubine Tong did not enter the palace through the draft, and as soon as she entered, she was titled Concubine Tong.
According to proper rules.
The little Concubine Tong would be groomed and dressed with the help of palace maids, and then wrapped in a quilt by the small eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department and carried to the Emperor's bedchamber.
But there was no reason to send the little Concubine Tong to her own palace as soon as she entered the palace and before she had served the Emperor.
The Tongjia clan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
She thought with some shock:
"Could it be that His Majesty is preparing for us to serve him together?"
She was really not just guessing randomly.
Because after the little Concubine Tong was sent over, the eunuch who delivered the order also took away all the palace maids who served her.
After all, don't look at the appearance of the emperor enjoying all the blessings in the three palaces and six courtyards.
In reality, there were many rules.
Let alone sisters working together, even if the time spent serving the Emperor was too long, they would be reminded by the eunuchs.
Not only because they had to ensure the Emperor's health, but also to follow etiquette.
If they acted recklessly, once exposed, their reputation would be damaged.
