Chapter 1437

In the Cining Palace, Mao Dongzhu and her daughter were busy bullying the lonely Empress Dowager Borjigit of the Qing Guo.

Gu Hanyuan met Kangxi again.

Kangxi was indeed diligent, and at this time he was still reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study.

Gu Hanyuan could see such a scene almost every time he came to the Imperial Study.

However, tonight was slightly different.

I saw that Kangxi's mood at this time was completely different from the morning.

Not only was he smiling, but his expression was confident and gentle.

Besides hearing good news.

It was also because of the woman in front of him.

The woman was wearing a bright red robe.

Although it was casual brocade clothing, it was still gorgeous and exquisite.

Embroidered with colorful phoenixes, hundreds of flowers, and cloud patterns.

Low-key yet luxurious.

Such gorgeous casual clothing was naturally not something an ordinary woman was qualified to wear.

The woman was none other than Kangxi's Empress, Hesheli.

Hesheli was beautiful, graceful, and gentle in temperament.

She lacked a bit of the majesty of a mother of the world, but had a bit more of the elegance of someone who had read many books.

She was holding a bowl of steaming soup.

Her voice was as gentle as she advised:

"Your Majesty, it's a bit cold at night, drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your body. The memorials will never be finished, Your Majesty should rest earlier and take care of your dragon body."

Her gaze was worried and pained.

Interpreting the gentleness of a wife.

Generally speaking.

As the head of the harem, the Empress had great power and needed to have the demeanor of a mother of the world.

Most were ruthless, or had a powerful family background with forces supporting them.

They had to be dignified and generous, with a balance of tension and relaxation.

Over time, the Empress could easily become majestic and boring.

Therefore, the relationships between many emperors and empresses were not harmonious.

Hesheli was different.

She treated people with kindness, was gentle and good, handled affairs impartially, and managed the harem in an orderly manner.

The concubines in the harem respected her very much, saving Kangxi a lot of worry.

She had always been a virtuous empress in Kangxi's mind.

And the two had been childhood sweethearts since they were young, with a very deep relationship.

Diligent emperors who did everything themselves were almost all in this hardworking state like Kangxi.

Although Kangxi was young, he had great ambitions and was determined to become an emperor who would go down in history.

And the current situation was very bad.

He had to be even more diligent in government affairs.

If it were an ordinary concubine advising him, Kangxi might not take it to heart.

But the weight of Hesheli in his heart was clearly different.

Therefore, her advice still worked.

Kangxi smiled gently:

"The Empress has a heart. I'll rest after finishing this last bit of memorials, and I won't call for eunuchs to send memorials in anymore.? ￠?"

Hesheli's expression relaxed a bit upon hearing this.

She said with joy:

"That's good. Your Majesty, don't keep Concubine Hui waiting too long."

According to the rules, it should be Concubine Hui's turn to serve tonight.

Her advice upon hearing this also reflected her generous and proper side.

Kangxi was very clear about this rule and knew he should stay at Concubine Hui's place tonight.

However, looking at Hesheli, who had become more mature and plump, and whose appearance was brighter since giving birth to the eldest legitimate son, Chenghu.

Kangxi's heart moved.

Counting the time she was pregnant with Chenghu, he hadn't slept with Hesheli for over a year.

For a moment, he only felt an unbearable itch in his heart.

He decided to be willful once.

At worst, he would be lectured by the Empress Dowager or the Grand Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang afterward.

Kangxi said with a burning gaze:

"Empress, why don't you wait for me."

Kangxi didn't say it explicitly.

But that gaze had already revealed his thoughts.

Hesheli's pretty face flushed red, and she said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

Kangxi said indifferently:

"As the Emperor of the Qing Guo, I should occasionally be willful once."

Hesheli, seeing that Kangxi had made up his mind, stopped advising and defaulted with shyness.

Her complexion was also becoming more and more rosy.

However, a playful, teasing voice destroyed this somewhat ambiguous atmosphere completely.

"Your Majesty has a good mood, having a beauty by your side while reviewing memorials, I am truly envious."
