Chapter 362 Do you want to be the fourth brother’s wife?
My cousin was proud and unruly when she was young, and she often said, "I would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine."
She also said with a smile: "If my cousin becomes poor one day, I also want to be his wife."
But he never gave his cousin the chance to become his wife.
The words she said when she was young seemed to have been blown away by the wind. On the day she became his concubine, she said sensibly, "Brother, it's okay. I'm fine with any position, as long as you treat me as your wife."
Later, her eyes gradually dimmed, and she would say gently and quietly, "It doesn't matter if my cousin doesn't have time. I still have the Fourth and Fifth Princes to accompany me. I'm fine, it's okay."
Later, she said to herself, "It's not a serious illness. Don't worry, cousin. Just try this stewed beef."
The last time he saw her, she was dying, lying on the bed, struggling to open her eyes.
At that final moment, she seemed to use all her strength to hold his hand. She asked him, "Cousin... Cousin... Why has the throne been vacant for so many years, and you haven't been willing to let me stand by your side in a legitimate way? Why?"
"Cousin... have you ever... considered me your wife?"
Emperor Kangxi no longer remembered how he had answered, but when he ordered her to be crowned empress immediately, his cousin's hands were already cold. She had never closed her eyes from beginning to end.
How could his cousin leave him?
She wanted to be her own queen with full legitimacy, and he must give it to her.
So he deceived himself and told himself that his cousin was still alive.
But after only half a day, he woke up, because he was the emperor, he did not have the capital to be willful, and in fact, he could not lose control because of anyone.
In fact, there is no need for the ancestors to scold him, nor for the officials to come to the court to admonish him. He knows everything, and it is all his fault.
He, Aisin Gioro Xuanye, lived up to his country and the people, but in the end he still let her down.
As a young girl, she rode a horse through the streets, living a carefree and unrestrained life. But in the end, she turned to dust and dissipated within his palace walls.
A hundred years later, when they go to the underworld, even if he apologizes to her, he doesn't know whether she will still pay attention to him.
A mist flashed in Emperor Kangxi's eyes for a moment, then disappeared in the blink of an eye. After a long while, he said:
"Wenjiu, why do you want to be his concubine?"
Wenjiu was happily eating melon seeds when he saw the Fourth Master and his companions were enjoying the horse racing.
When Emperor Kangxi suddenly asked me this question, I was so scared that half of the melon seeds fell out of my mouth.
She immediately bent down to pick it up, but she couldn't pick it up cleanly, and her hands were covered in mud.
Noticing that Emperor Kangxi was staring at her, Wen Jiu didn't dare to continue picking up the wine. She raised her head with an awkward smile and said, "Haha, Your Majesty, that...it doesn't matter if I don't become your concubine."
I never thought that a single sentence would cause me so much trouble.
Could it be that His Majesty feels that his ambition is too big and wants to suppress it?
"You don't want to be a concubine?" Emperor Kangxi looked at Wen Jiu intently. "You want to be his concubine? You want to be his wife...right?"
Wenjiu's hair stood on end when he heard this. Isn't this emperor's words too provocative?
How could it touch her heart?
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is certainly not a good soldier. Of course, if possible, she would rather replace the Fourth Master...
Looking around, he saw that the Crown Prince and Master Tong were both far away from Wenjiu, and that Emperor Kangxi's voice was low, so they couldn't hear clearly. Facing Emperor Kangxi alone, Wenjiu felt a huge pressure.
He swallowed hard, then turned his gaze to Emperor Kangxi and shuddered with fear.
I saw that the color of the heart on Emperor Kangxi’s head became a little darker!
She gritted her teeth and nodded, "Yes."
She stared at the heart on Emperor Kangxi's head without blinking. If there was even a little bit of the heart missing from his head, she would make up for it immediately.
Who knew, but saw that the heart on Emperor Kangxi's head had already turned crimson. Judging from this, it might not take long before it can be collected.
Wen Jiu's heart was pounding. What did this mean? She had ambitions to become the Fourth Master's wife, and yet Emperor Kangxi was still showing her love? What was going on?
Your Majesty, wake up, do you know what kind of atmosphere you are encouraging?
Emperor Kangxi took two deep breaths after hearing this, but said nothing. He only asked in a steady voice, "How old were you when you began serving the Fourth Master?"
Wen Jiu could no longer follow the emperor's train of thought. He answered whatever he asked and said obediently, "Your Majesty, I followed the Fourth Master when I was ten years old. At that time, the Fourth Master was only twelve years old."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment: "Ten years."
Wenjiu nodded: "Yeah, ten years."
Emperor Kangxi didn't say anything else. He played with the melon seeds over and over again, but never put them into his mouth.
Wenjiu now realized that Emperor Kangxi's mood seemed a little off, and for a moment he did not dare to speak to him, for fear that the love he had worked so hard to gain would be wiped out by just a few words.
But we can't just stay like this!
It happened that the Fourth Master and his men were galloping closer in front of him. Wen Jiu immediately said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Master and his men are so powerful. Look!"
After hearing what was said, Emperor Kangxi cast his eyes on the scene, then retracted them calmly: "Hmm."
After answering, he stopped talking.
Warming the wine: "..."
This emperor is a bit difficult to lead now. Although I don’t know what Emperor Kangxi is thinking, Wenjiu feels that it is not a happy thing after all, and he inexplicably wants to run away.
【Master, don't give up, you can do it! 】
Wenjiu: “…” Actually, she is not that capable.
She always had a little confidence when facing the Fourth Master. But facing such a fickle boss, she was helpless.
The Fourth Master and his men would still be riding horses for a while, and Wenjiu really couldn't sit with this big man like this any longer. She wasn't doing it for her own sake, but was just afraid that it would affect the child's prenatal education.
After organizing his words, he immediately said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I think our pancakes taste quite fresh. Would you like to send one to the Queen Mother? I will make something lighter."
After hearing Wen Jiu's words, Emperor Kangxi turned his gaze to her and suddenly squinted his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Is it hard to sit next to me?"
Wen Jiu swallowed hard and said, "How could this be? I am honored to sit beside you, Your Majesty. This is a blessing that many people cannot ask for."
Emperor Kangxi said in a light voice: "In that case. Then make some pancakes and have me take them to the Empress Dowager. You just sit here."
Warming the wine: "..."
Can't you abuse others alone?
Wen Jiu suddenly had an idea and turned his attention to the Crown Prince and Master Tong who were standing further away. He said, "Your Highness, Master Tong, why don't you two try some of these melon seeds with the Emperor? I still have a few packets."
