Empress Ming, Empress Xiaochunxian, of the Gu'erjia clan, from the Manchu Plain White Banner, younger brother is Grand Scholar Gu'erjia Jiahuan. When Shizong Yongzheng was a prince, she gav...
"Hehe, Master, you've guessed wrong!"
"Oh!" Jiaming's interest was piqued even more. "What else happened?"
Looking at this stranger, Xiao Hongxuan sensed the ill intent emanating from Ninth Master as he teased him, and continued to turn his head away, ignoring him completely.
Seeing this, Ninth Master did not give up and reached out to poke Hongxuan's twisted little nose.
This time, the little guy really got angry. He suddenly turned his head, squinted, pursed his lips, and stared at Ninth Master with his big, dark eyes.
Uh, the cold-faced Fourth Brother!
The trauma from his childhood caused Ninth Master to freeze instantly when he reached out to poke a child.
"Haha!" Tenth Master immediately pointed at Ninth Master and laughed, then took a big step and was right next to Su Peisheng.
.
He shoved Ninth Master aside, then brought his face close to Xiao Hongxuan, who had just turned his head to look at him, and laughed, "Little Fourth, I'm your tenth uncle, you..."
As they were talking, suddenly two soft, chubby little arms wrapped around his neck, and then a soft, milky-scented little body pressed against him.
The Tenth Prince, who was smiling with his mouth open, was stunned. Seeing his silly look, the Fourth Prince, whose face had been dark, felt much more at ease.
Then, under Hongxuan's bright smile, the Tenth Prince was even more foolishly charmed by the warm feeling.
Then, Fourth Master discovered that his brothers first looked at Tenth Brother with envy, then, unable to reach him, they said it was sour grapes, despising Tenth Master's lack of ambition, and were overjoyed to be taken in by Little Fourth Brother.
"Little He, are you sure this isn't just storytelling, but real?" Jiaming's big, bright eyes widened in disbelief as she continued, "I know Hongxuan's pure smile is very attractive, but it's not to that extent, is it?"
Hongtao, Xiao Hezi, Granny Sun, and the others were all Qing Dynasty version of Hongxuan's fans. They couldn't bear to hear their master belittle their young master like that. In their hearts, there was nothing wrong with their young master.
Suddenly, Xiao Hezi's voice grew much louder, "Master, of course it's true! How can you underestimate the young master?"
“That’s right!” Hongtao, Granny Sun, and the others nodded in agreement.
The minority yields to the majority, and Jiaming compromises, half-believing the power of Hongxuan's smile.
"And then?" Jiaming changed the subject quickly.
Although Xiao Hezi wanted to continue saying that his young master really had that kind of charm, he had no choice but to continue after the topic was changed: "Then the happy Tenth Prince gave the young master a golden eagle."
"A golden eagle?" Jiaming frowned. That's a bird of prey in the sky. Hongxuan is still young. How could she give him this? She was a little worried that Hongxuan might get hurt by the bird of prey.
The worried duo, Red Peach and Granny Sun, also frowned in concern.
At first, Xiao Hezi didn't understand why Jiaming was frowning. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly realized the problem and smiled, "Master, it's not the golden eagle you're thinking of, it's just an eagle made of gold."
"..." Jiaming and others.
"Ahem," Jiaming coughed twice, as if the awkwardness had never happened, and asked casually, "Anything else?"
"The young master happily kissed the tenth prince, then put the golden eagle into the small pocket on his chest, and then the young master reached out to the Prince Zhi."
The eldest prince looked at the chubby little arms reaching out to him, the bright smile on the fourth prince's face, and then met his bright, sparkling eyes.
His heart melted instantly. In a daze, the eldest prince picked up little Hongxuan and felt his soft, milky-scented body. He felt incredibly content.
Seeing that Xiao Hongxuan was tugging at the jade pendant hanging from his waist, the eldest prince, who adored Xiao Hongxuan, immediately pulled the jade pendant off and gave it to the little guy, saying, "Here, little fourth son, your uncle gives it to you."
Xiao Hongxuan accepted the jade pendant without any hesitation, and then kissed the eldest prince.
This made the eldest prince very happy, while the other princes, seeing the stern-faced fourth prince, couldn't help but laugh their heads off.
.
Whether Xiao Hongxuan didn't understand or didn't notice the Fourth Master's dark expression, he held the jade pendant in his little hands, played with it for a while, and then put it back into the small pocket on his chest.
"Then, for some reason, the young master turned his gaze to Ninth Master, and after looking at him for a while, he reached out to Ninth Master to ask for a hug..." Xiao Hezi continued to report the events that had occurred in the front yard to Jiaming.
When Xiao Hongxuan reached out for a hug, Ninth Master actually really wanted to hug him.
But seeing how much Xiao Hongxuan resembled his rival, the desire in his heart was immediately dampened. So, Ninth Master just smiled and looked at Xiao Hongxuan, but didn't hug him.
In her mind, she imagined Fourth Brother asking her for a hug, and then she refused to hug him. And then... In her dream, Ninth Master, who was all smiles, suddenly froze.
Because of his bright and attractive smile, Xiao Hongxuan is rarely refused when he asks for a hug. But this time, he was suddenly not able to get a hug and got angry.
Perhaps it wasn't anger, but after glancing at Fourth Master, the little guy suddenly narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, tightened his little face, stared intently at Ninth Master, and then opened his little mouth, "Eee-yah-yah!"
That look was clearly learned from the Fourth Prince.
If he could speak now, he would definitely say that's how it was, because that's exactly what his father instructed Su Peisheng, and it worked very well.
Seeing the expression on Xiao Hongxuan's face, whom they had originally intended to look at, all the princes turned their gazes toward Xiao Hongxuan with shining eyes.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager in the palace was not lying to her mother. The fourth brother's son is really smart. He is so young, yet he already knows how to do what his father does.
It's so similar, he's really a smaller version of the fourth brother (fourth elder brother).
The princes were immediately filled with envy and resentment towards the Fourth Prince. They thought to themselves, "Why don't we have a son who looks just like us, in every way?"
Uh, when I get back, I must work hard so that I can have a little prince who looks just like me.
Of course, because little Hongxuan was so young, yet so clever and already knew how to learn from his father, all the princes, whether they had children or not, were jealous of the Fourth Prince.
The princes who had children were not as clever as Xiao Hongxuan when they were young, while the princes who had no children were jealous that the Fourth Prince had a clever little prince.
“Ninth Brother, this is a rare opportunity!” The Tenth Prince suddenly picked up little Hongxuan from the First Prince’s arms and put him into the Ninth Prince’s arms, saying as he did so, “Hold little Fourth Prince more, and let Ninth Sister-in-law give you a little prince as smart and strong as little Fourth Prince.”
Upon hearing this, Ninth Master was moved and actually hugged Xiao Hongxuan.
But Xiao Hongxuan was unwilling. The little guy was very strong and powerful. He struggled, and since Ninth Master hadn't held a child much before, even though Xiao Hongxuan wasn't heavy, he still managed to work up a sweat.
Finally, he stopped when Ninth Master took out his personal abacus and gave it to Xiao Hongxuan.
But Fourth Master was not satisfied. It seems that Ming'er was right. His son was too useless. He compromised with a little gold abacus!
We have to make him pay us some compensation!
