Chapter 1444
It was only because of Wutian's sudden appearance that he had no leisure to consider it.
The more Kangxi thought about it, the more brilliant he felt this idea was.
Looking at the still indifferent Wutian, he could not help but exclaim:
"Although I know your martial arts are peerless, I did not know your wisdom was also so outstanding. Are you truly unwilling to be my Imperial Preceptor? No matter what kind of beauty, I can send them to you."
Kangxi's desire to win over Wutian was even heavier at this moment.
Even the thought he originally had of dealing with Wutian once his power grew had faded significantly.
Not for anything else, but because he could not bear to lose Wutian's ability.
Although the strategy of planting a mole was just a small test, it already reflected his wisdom.
Kangxi felt that if he had Wutian's help.
Not only could he sweep away the internal troubles of the Qing Guo and consolidate power...
Externally, he could also contend with the powerful Mongol Yuan.
The ambition to unify the world in the future was no longer a pipe dream.
As for the slightly humiliating way of winning over people by sending beauties and concubines.
With the precedent of the Tong Jia sisters, Kangxi was no longer resistant.
However, Gu Hanyuan was still whetting Kangxi's appetite.
He continued to use the Empress as an excuse to refuse:
"Beauty lies in the bones, not the skin. How can ordinary beauties compare to even a ten-thousandth of Your Majesty's Empress?"
This was naturally not his true heart.
Although Hesheli is not bad, compared to Huang Rong, it is a world of difference.
It was just using the words he once used to praise Huang Rong as an excuse.
"This..."
Kangxi was still somewhat troubled.
But his eyes clearly revealed signs of softening.
Perhaps if he considered it for a while longer, he might have agreed.
Unfortunately, this was not the right time.
Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan interrupted Kangxi's consideration.
"Your Majesty need not be troubled. The night is deep, I should take my leave."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi felt relieved, but there was indeed more regret.
He hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay:
"Why don't you stay in the palace? The Tong Jia sisters have both been conferred as Noble Imperial Consorts by me and have moved into the Jingren Palace. The Jingren Palace is quiet and beautiful; even if you stay for a long time, no one will disturb you. However, if there are only the Tong Jia sisters in the Jingren Palace, it is inevitably a bit lonely. If you have any requests, please just state them; I will not refuse anything."
Gu Hanyuan heard the hidden meaning in Kangxi's words.
The Jingren Palace was not for the Tong Jia sisters, but gifted to him.
In the future, if he takes a fancy to any concubine, they will be sent to the Jingren Palace.
Kangxi was indeed full of sincerity, actually making such a promise.
Perhaps if he asked for the Empress again now.
Kangxi, hindered by his face, might even let the Empress pay a visit.
Gu Hanyuan politely declined indifferently:
"Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, but the Tong Jia sisters are exhausted today, and I am not a person who destroys flowers; I will come to find them tomorrow."
Seeing that Wutian's mind was made up.
Kangxi said with great regret:
"Since that is the case, I should not detain you."
"Farewell."
As the words fell, Wutian's figure was no longer in the room.
After pondering for a moment, he shouted loudly:
"Wen Youfang, go to the Imperial Kitchen and call Xiao Guizi over." ===== CHAPTER 1446 =====
