Chapter 132 The Empress Dowager Passes Away



"Prepare the carriage, I am leaving the palace."

There's no need to say where we're going; now there's only one destination outside the palace.

“Zha”

Seeing Kangxi suddenly arrive, Youqing was already used to it, but she still asked, "What brings you here?"

Although Emperor Kangxi was not as busy as before, he was still somewhat busy. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, he was not idle.

"Can't I come and see you?"

Youqing: ...

As long as he's happy.

"Would you like to accompany me for a walk?"

Youqing agreed.

Kangxi walked with Youqing, without any servants accompanying them.

"My maternal grandmother has passed away, and there will be no one to guide me anymore."

Although the Empress Dowager was a woman, her vision and perspective were not limited to the inner palace. If she had not been born a woman, she could have been an emperor.

"His Majesty no longer needs anyone to guide him."

Emperor Kangxi was a man of high intelligence and emotional intelligence. While he didn't have a photographic memory, his memory was definitely better than most people's.

Not only did he have a good memory, but he also had absolute self-control. Even after becoming emperor, no matter how busy he was, he would still find time to enrich himself.

As for emotional intelligence, the fact that he was able to navigate the complexities of the four regents and successfully assume power at the age of ten, and then maintain control of the government after taking power, suggests that his emotional intelligence is not low.

He has long since grown up and no longer needs anyone to guide him.

Despite this fact, Kangxi felt at ease as long as the Empress Dowager was around.

"Without you in the palace, I feel listless every day when dealing with state affairs."

Youqing was at a loss for words.

"And then there is the Crown Prince. He is still young and his temperament is already somewhat problematic. I am willing to correct him, but I cannot watch him every moment. In the future, I will entrust the Qing Dynasty to the Crown Prince, even if he cannot manage it."

Youqing knew mostly about the Crown Prince from historical dramas and novels, where his image was generally not good. But what the truth was, Youqing couldn't say for sure.

"His Majesty should have a plan in mind."

"I intend to have Zhang Ying personally tutor the Crown Prince for a period of time."

After that, Kangxi went on and on about many other trivial matters, including the affairs of his sons and some officials from the previous dynasty. Youqing found it quite interesting to listen to.
