Chapter 290 Emperor Kangxi and instant noodles.
Wen Jiu thought, in theory, she was also breaking the rules, and although it was understandable, she was the one who was beaten. When she cracked the whip, she thought that the Fourth Master might be angry, but she didn't expect that the Fourth Master would show her love at this time. Why was that?
The Fourth Master reached out and poked Wen Jiu's forehead: "You have good intentions in protecting your servant, but don't be so reckless next time."
Wen Jiu listened and nodded obediently: "Master, I understand."
Seeing her acting as docile as a kitten, the Fourth Master couldn't help but put his hand on her head and gently stroked it twice.
"Jiu'er, follow me, and I will never let you suffer any injustice."
A lowly concubine? He still didn't believe it. It wouldn't be long before he let the little girl run rampant in the mansion.
Thinking of this, the Fourth Master remembered the booklet again.
It now seems that having a baby as soon as possible is urgent.
As long as Jiu'er has a child, he can ask the emperor for permission to change her position.
"Hmm?" Wen Jiu was stunned when he heard the Fourth Master's solemn promise.
Although Wen Jiu knew that men's promises were sometimes unreliable, she actually felt warmed at this moment. He was the father of the child in her belly, and now he was also planning for their future.
"Okay, get some good sleep. I'll take you to the family dinner later."
Wenjiu heard this and said, "No, that won't work. Lady Fu just put me under house arrest..." Besides, she had promised everyone that she would eat spicy hot pot with them.
Compared to eating with Fu Jin and others, Wen Jiu prefers to eat with his own people in his own yard.
The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "Lantern Shadow Beef, Cang Deng Tofu... Do you still want to eat?"
Wen Jiu couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she heard this. These were things she couldn't make. Only the mansion's top chefs could make these meticulously crafted dishes...
Before he could say anything, he was pushed into the house by the Fourth Master: "Sleep for a while, and when you get up, I will help you pick out some clothes."
"ah?"
"Stop it, go to sleep."
…
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
After Emperor Kangxi finished his court session, he finally had time to look at the gifts sent by his sons.
"Father, let me tell you, this thing has some special tastes to it."
When Jiu Ye saw Emperor Kangxi reaching out to take the instant noodles, he immediately reached out to stop him.
"Yes, yes, yes," the Tenth Master nodded, then turned back and instructed the eunuch behind him, "Go get a bowl this big."
He gestured to himself, thought for a moment, and then said, "Bring a few more."
He turned to look at Emperor Kangxi and said, "Father, your Majesty, your son and I will have dinner with you."
Emperor Kangxi felt better when he saw his two sons were so happy.
Looking down at these strange and bizarre foods, Emperor Kangxi also became interested and said, "Let you two do whatever you want."
Liang Jiugong responded, smiling and immediately sending for the bowls. He then set up a larger table in the middle, leaving Ninth Master and Tenth Master to fiddle with the food.
Emperor Kangxi didn't pay much attention to it at first. He just picked up the memorial and flipped through it casually.
But after a while, I smelled some fragrance.
Emperor Kangxi had only eaten two pieces of dessert when he woke up in the morning, and now he felt his stomach was empty, and he couldn't help but look at the table.
Then I saw Lao Jiu and Lao Shi put the pancake-like thing called instant noodles into the basin and poured boiling water on it.
The fragrance comes from that basin.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Emperor Kangxi finally put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and walked over.
"Okay, okay, Brother Nine, don't add too much water. The taste will be diluted if there is too much water. I want to eat something with a stronger flavor." said Master Ten.
"I understand," Jiu Ye responded and added water to another bowl.
Seeing Emperor Kangxi coming over, the Ninth Master asked with a smile, "Father Emperor, do you want dry noodles, or do you want noodles with soup like the Tenth Master?"
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the point of this?"
Jiu Ye immediately said, "Old Ten's bowl of noodles is so good that you can eat them both with the soup. Mine is just soaked, rinsed, and then added with the seasoning and stirred."
"That hard thing is mixed and eaten? It looks hard." Emperor Kangxi thought, can this thing be delicious?
Just thinking about this, I couldn't help but frown.
But it smelled strangely fragrant, and I immediately hesitated whether to try it or not.
"It's not hard at all, Your Majesty. You'll know in a moment." The Ninth Master kept the secret, then added, "Do you want it with or without soup, Your Majesty?"
Before Emperor Kangxi could say anything, the Tenth Master beside him said, "Ninth Brother, why don't you take out two noodles? One with soup for the Emperor, and one without soup for the Emperor."
"Father, I'll make you two flavors. Would you like to try them both?"
Emperor Kangxi didn't think this thing would taste good, but seeing the extremely happy faces of his two sons, he didn't say no, but just nodded and said, "Okay."
Jiu Ye then excitedly went to make two more bowls for Emperor Kangxi, one with seasoning and one without.
Then, Emperor Kangxi witnessed a strange scene.
His two most active sons were strangely staring at the big bowl without moving, as if they were afraid that the bowl would fly away.
"What's wrong with you?"
It wasn't long since these two sons were taken away by the fourth son, and after they came back, they always felt that something was not quite right...
When he woke up in the morning, he tested the lessons of the princes in the Shangshufang.
Unexpectedly, both of them made progress.
Emperor Kangxi was afraid that they would become arrogant and become lax in the future, so he asked each of them to squat in horse stance for half an hour.
Who would have thought that these two people would be so happy.
In the past, I couldn’t even squat for a quarter of an hour!
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master were naturally happy. The Fourth Brother's punishment for them all started at two hours, but the Emperor only made them squat for half an hour, which was easy.
After squatting in horse stance, the two of them also practiced horseback archery for a while, and they felt relaxed all over.
"Your Majesty, you must hold back. Fourth Sister-in-law said that you should not open the lid of this instant noodles to look at it. It tastes best when it is simmered for half an incense stick of time." The Tenth Master stared at the lid of his instant noodles and swallowed his saliva, rubbing his hands together.
Emperor Kangxi: “…” Why should he endure it?
Although it smells good, it shouldn't be like this, right?
Soaking a pancake in hot water? How could it possibly look good? Emperor Kangxi couldn't even bear to lift the lid to take a look.
"I have to turn it over, otherwise some parts won't be soaked until later."
As Jiu Ye said this, he quickly opened the lid, stirred it twice with chopsticks and then covered it again.
The Tenth Master did the same.
Emperor Kangxi inadvertently glanced at the bowl of noodles and was stunned.
"Has this thing really become a bowl of noodles?"
This scene was truly unique in his life. Emperor Kangxi was so shocked that he couldn't help but open the lid again to take a closer look.
