Chapter 338 Fourteen shook hands with Fourth!
"Oh, Your Majesty, how would I know?" Liang Jiugong said with a smile, "I just think the food you cook is the best."
"You old bastard," Emperor Kangxi scolded with a smile, "You only ate the skewers I made. How do you know that girl's food is good?"
Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "I noticed it when I saw you were eating with such relish. I think our Fourth Master and Miss Wen must have put a lot of effort into it."
"That's quite true," Emperor Kangxi said with a smile, "you really put your heart into it."
"Yes," Liang Jiugong said, "When Your Majesty went out, I saw the young lady packing a box of food with large and small bags."
"Oh, I haven't eaten and taken anything like this in years." Emperor Kangxi shook his head and laughed. The last time was probably when the Empress Dowager was still alive, eating chestnut candies at her lap. After eating a few, he would ask the eunuch to carry a box away.
"This Wen girl is quite clever. Did you see clearly today? She and Thirteen and Fourteen are both smart."
Liang Jiugong listened and agreed, "Your Majesty, you see things more clearly."
"Why is Fourteenth suddenly unhappy with Fourth Prince's wife? Go and investigate what happened later." Emperor Kangxi still felt something was wrong.
“Yeah.”
Emperor Kangxi took another sip of milk tea, hoping that Wenjiu wasn't deliberately trying to stir up trouble. Although the fourth son's wife wasn't a pleasant person, the royal family wouldn't tolerate dirty tricks.
"Emperor Father!" Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly heard Fourteen's voice coming from outside the carriage.
Lifting the curtain, he heard Fourteenth say, "Father, I forgot something. It's at Fourth Brother's place. Why don't you go back and get it? I'll be able to catch up with you before we get to the palace."
Emperor Kangxi frowned and said, "What did you forget? Just ask me to go there."
Fourteen said, "No, my son has to get it himself."
Then he squeezed the horse's belly and quickly returned.
Emperor Kangxi muttered "evil creature" and immediately sent guards to follow him.
About a quarter of an hour later, Fourteenth came back, smiling: "The Emperor is still waiting for his son? Let's go."
Emperor Kangxi looked suspicious: "What did you leave behind?"
Fourteen blinked twice and said, "You can't tell Father Huang, this is my son's secret."
Emperor Kangxi looked at the mysterious Fourteenth Prince, and the first thing he did after returning to the palace was to call the guard who had just accompanied Fourteenth Prince back to question him.
"What did Fourteen go get?"
The guard looked puzzled and clasped his fists, saying, "To answer your Majesty, this servant did not see the Fourteenth Master take anything."
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Then what is he going to do back?"
"Fourteenth Master just said a few words to Fourth Master and then came back."
Emperor Kangxi became even more curious: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Master said, 'Fourth Brother, we must be the best of brothers,' and then he shook the Fourth Master's hand and left."
The guards were also confused about the situation. They followed the Fourteenth Master in with a dazed look on their faces, and followed the Fourteenth Master out with a dazed look on their faces.
Emperor Kangxi raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure that Little Fourteen shook the hand of Old Four and called each other good brothers?"
Did the sun rise from the west today?
Fourteenth would usually try to avoid Fourth Prince whenever he saw him. When he was younger, he loved to argue with Fourth Prince. Whenever Fourth Prince was rewarded, he would always want a share. But Concubine De often indulged him.
Emperor Kangxi still remembered that years ago he rewarded the fourth son with a painting called "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie". The fourteenth son disliked calligraphy and painting the most, but he insisted on having this painting too.
Who knew that Concubine De was also confused, and she actually asked for it from the fourth prince and gave it to the fourteenth prince to play with.
The two brothers don't get along, and Concubine De is also responsible.
Now Little Fourteen has finally come to his senses? Is he taking the initiative to talk to Little Four in a nice way?
Emperor Kangxi had a strange expression on his face, and a thought inexplicably flashed through his mind: Could it be that this kid came here for food?
But no matter what the reason was, his two brothers had a better relationship now, so he didn't have to worry about it too much.
At the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Master also looked confused.
He frowned and glanced at his hands, then looked at the wine beside him with a strange expression: "What did Xiao Shisi just say?"
Wen Jiu blinked twice: "He said that he and the Fourth Master are good brothers..."
Fourth Master: "...riding back on horseback? Just to tell me this?"
He even grabbed his hand. The Fourth Master immediately rubbed his hand on his clothes with a look of disgust: "Did this kid take the wrong medicine?"
While warming the wine, she smiled and said, "Maybe Fourteenth Master has seen my good intentions towards him?" After so much persuasion from her, Fourteenth Master must have come to his senses.
The Fourth Master frowned deeply. He didn't believe it. There must be a conspiracy.
"Master, don't think about it. In any case, our Fourteenth Master definitely has no ill intentions. You should go back with Jiu'er first. Jiu'er still hasn't finished writing the family motto."
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "Su Peisheng, go to my study and get a copy of Zhu Xi's Family Instructions."
"Ah! So many!" In the Qingliang Pavilion, Wenjiu lay on the table and looked at the fourth master's copy of Zhu Xi's Family Instructions with a look of despair.
The Fourth Master looked at the thin booklet with a strange expression on his face. "...The entire text is only about 600 words."
Where is this?
In the past, the emperor punished them by making them copy the Four Books.
Wen Jiu was dejected. "But, my Lord, the Emperor asked me to write it a hundred times! That's over 60,000 words!"
My goodness, the short stories I often read nowadays are only a few tens of thousands of words!
"How can I possibly finish it in one night?"
The Fourth Master said, "Just write it down first. Write as much as you can. The Emperor didn't say that you have to write it down a hundred times and put it all on his desk."
After hearing what the Fourth Master said, Wen Jiu's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible?"
The Fourth Master poked her forehead and said, "Go and write."
Just when Wenjiu was feeling dizzy from writing, a message from the system suddenly made him perk up instantly.
[Ding~ Earn a heart from Concubine De. 】
[Ahhh, Master, the mille-feuille cake you gave me worked!]
Wen Jiu couldn't help but blink twice. "It turns out that hard work pays off! No! I have to find a way to make more thousand-layer cakes tomorrow! I'll have the Fourth Master send them to the palace every once in a while."
[Yes, yes, Master, now we have received the love from the other three relatives except Emperor Kangxi. As long as we receive one more love from Emperor Kangxi, we can increase all the attributes of the young masters by one point!]
Wen Jiu also rubbed his hands excitedly: "For the sake of the children, I must work hard!"
As he said this, he lowered his head very seriously and continued to copy the family precepts.
In fact, Wenjiu really guessed wrong this time.
Concubine De hasn't eaten her thousand-layer cake yet. The reason she has a heart is because she heard Little Fourteen talk about what happened today.
After many years in the harem, Concubine De weighed the pros and cons almost instantly.
To be precise, as long as Defei doesn't encounter any affairs related to the Fourth Master, her mind is extremely clear.
At that moment, he smiled and patted Aunt Wen's hand, saying, "Jiu'er has grown up. She is now doing things in a very steady manner, and she is quite like you.
After a while, the Emperor will examine Little Fourteen and the others in their studies and will also call Jiu'er into the palace. I haven't had a good chat with her in a long time."
