In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

He said, with a pointed remark:

"Why don't we first bring your mother to our side? That way, she'll reciprocate. Besides, I think she's inclined to do so."

Jianning was taken aback upon hearing this.

However, mother and daughter are of one mind, and she understood Mao Dongzhu's meaning almost instantly.

With a slightly flushed face, she asked:

"Mother, what you say makes sense, but what should we do? Brother Wutian isn't here."

Mao Dongzhu released Jianning and ran to a secluded place to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

The target was found quickly.

If Gu Hanyuan were still here, he would be amazed that it was indeed a royal item.

Not only was it crafted from rhinoceros horn that was presented as tribute, but the craftsmanship was also exquisite and beautiful.

Those who don't know the details would probably just see it as a work of art.

Borjigit was lost in complex thoughts.

When she came to her senses, she was already being held down by the two women.

He looked at the two women, who were eager to try, with horror.

He shouted in a panic:

"What do you want to do?"

Mao Dongzhu said with a charming smile:

"This is for your own good. You don't want to have to give up again next time, do you?"

She gestured to Jianning:

"Jianning, I'm leaving it to you."

Jianning grinned knowingly.

"Don't worry, Mother, I will help you."

Chapter 591: Your Majesty, be careful! If you were to accidentally scratch this beautiful face, I would be heartbroken. (Please subscribe and give flowers!)

In Ciren Palace, Mao Dongzhu and her daughter were busy bullying the weak and vulnerable Empress Dowager Borjigit of the Qing Dynasty.

Gu Hanyuan then met Emperor Kangxi again.

Emperor Kangxi was indeed diligent in his duties, and at this time he was still reviewing memorials in his study.

Gu Hanyuan would see this scene almost every time he came to the Imperial Study.

But tonight is slightly different.

It was clear that Kangxi's mood was completely different from that of the morning.

Not only was there a smile on his lips, but his expression was also confident and gentle.

Besides because I heard some good news.

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

The woman was wearing a bright red robe.

Although it was a casual outfit made of brocade, it was still gorgeous and exquisite.

Embroidered with colorful phoenixes, flowers, and cloud patterns.

Understated yet luxurious.

Such luxurious casual wear was certainly not something an ordinary woman was qualified to wear.

The woman was none other than Empress Hesheli, the wife of Emperor Kangxi.

Hesheli was beautiful, graceful, and gentle.

She has lost some of the majesty of an empress, but gained more of the elegance of someone well-versed in literature.

She was carrying a bowl of steaming hot soup.

His voice was as gentle as a persuasive whisper:

"Your Majesty, it's a bit chilly at night. Have some ginger soup to warm yourself up. There are always memorials to review, so Your Majesty should rest early and take care of your health."

Her eyes were filled with worry and heartache.

It embodies the gentleness of a wife.

Generally speaking.

As the head of the harem, the empress wielded immense power and was required to possess the demeanor of a mother to the nation.

They are mostly ruthless, or have powerful family backgrounds and strong backing.

One should maintain a dignified and graceful demeanor, and strike a balance between tension and relaxation.

Over time, the empress could easily become dignified, solemn, and boring.

Therefore, the relationship between many emperors and empresses was not harmonious.

The Hesheli clan was different.

She was kind and gentle, fair in her dealings, and managed the harem in an orderly manner.

The concubines in the harem respected and admired him greatly, which saved Emperor Kangxi a lot of trouble.

She was always considered a virtuous empress by Emperor Kangxi.

Furthermore, the two have been childhood sweethearts and have a very close relationship.

Diligent and hands-on emperors almost all had a similar hardworking appearance to Emperor Kangxi.

Although young, Emperor Kangxi harbored great ambitions and aspired to become an emperor whose name would be remembered for all time.

The current situation is extremely dire.

He needs to be even more diligent in his political affairs.

If it were just ordinary concubines offering advice, Emperor Kangxi might not have taken it seriously.

However, Hesheli held a different place in his heart.

Therefore, her persuasion was effective.

Kangxi smiled gently:

"The Empress is very kind. She will rest after reviewing this last few memorials and will not call for any more eunuchs to bring in memorials."

Hesheli's expression relaxed somewhat upon hearing this.

With a joyful expression, he instructed:

"That's good then. Your Majesty, please don't keep Consort Hui waiting any longer."

According to the rules, Consort Hui should be the one to serve the emperor tonight.

Her words of advice at this moment also demonstrated her generous and dignified side.

Emperor Kangxi was well aware of these rules and knew that he should stay overnight at Consort Hui's residence tonight.

However, looking at Hesheli, who has become more mature, plump, and radiant since giving birth to her eldest son Chenghu, one can see the beauty of her appearance.

Kangxi's heart stirred slightly.

Including the time he was pregnant with Chenghu, he had not shared a bed with Hesheli for over a year.

For a moment, I felt an irresistible itch.

He decided to be impulsive just this once.

At worst, I'll just get a scolding from the Empress Dowager or Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang afterward.

Kangxi said with burning eyes:

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait for me?"

Although Kangxi did not make it explicit.

But his eyes already revealed his thoughts.

Hesheli blushed slightly and said with some embarrassment:

"Your Majesty, this is against etiquette."

Kangxi said indifferently:

"As the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I should be able to indulge myself occasionally."

Seeing that Kangxi had made up his mind, Empress Hesheli stopped trying to persuade him and shyly acquiesced.

Her complexion became increasingly rosy.

However, a playful, teasing remark completely shattered the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

"Your Majesty is in high spirits, having beautiful women by your side while reviewing memorials. I am truly envious."
