Chapter 363 Emperor Kangxi’s Care
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Kangxi squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Jiu again, then turned to look at the Crown Prince and Tong Guowei, but did not say anything, obviously agreeing.
On the other side, the two princes looked at each other, and then came forward one after another.
The four of them started eating melon seeds strangely.
To be honest, Tong Guowei is still confused. What is going on?
Why did I suddenly start eating melon seeds with His Majesty for no apparent reason?
There is a prince beside them, and one of them is the fourth master's concubine.
With just these few people sitting together, is there something wrong?
Tong Guowei frowned, "Hmm... these melon seeds are really fragrant..."
Liang Jiugong behind him had become completely dazed, looking at this and that, then reached out and pinched his arm hard.
Hiss, it really hurts, it’s not a dream...
Wen Jiu immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, shall I go make pancakes for the Queen Mother?"
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand casually, and Wenjiu immediately sat on the small stool where he was making pancakes. For a moment, he felt that this position was very comfortable.
This pancake was truly the slowest one she had ever made. It wasn't because it was too complicated, but rather because she hated it.
Because it was sent to the Empress Dowager, it had to be made more delicately and without any spicy ingredients, but she also spread some sweet bean sauce on it and added some shrimp.
Soon, a luxurious pancake was ready.
It was then divided into several portions, just like the ones given to Concubine De and the others, and packed separately in several oil-paper bags.
He glanced up at Emperor Kangxi, warmed his wine, and encouraged himself. He smiled and walked over to him, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, if someone else brings this over, they might not know how to eat it. How about I go and talk to the Empress Dowager?"
Emperor Kangxi glanced sideways at the warm wine and continued, "It's okay."
He pointed at Liang Jiugong behind him and said, "Go and talk to the Queen Mother."
Liang Jiugong was stunned, then immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes," and then he bent over and walked to the wine warmer, "Miss, give it to me."
Now that he has reached Liang Jiugong's level, he doesn't need to call himself a slave when it comes to Wen Jiu.
However, Liang Jiugong felt that the Emperor was very kind to Miss Wen, so it would be safer for him to be more respectful.
The smile on Wenjiu's face was obviously unsustainable. Was he going back to eating melon seeds again?
Emperor Kangxi, however, acted as if he was doing this for your own good. He waved his hand and said, "Just sit down. Aren't you worried about the fourth brother? Just sit down and continue watching him."
Emperor Kangxi felt that this child was both infatuated and extremely sensible, which was quite good.
Wenjiu could only thank her with tears of gratitude and continue to be her stepping stone steadily.
As soon as she sat down, her eyes rolled and she suddenly said, "It's almost time now. Your Majesty, are you hungry? Let me make you another pancake."
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said, "No need to rush. We'll have lunch later. Sit down and rest."
Wenjiu blinked and looked at the prince: "My Lord, you are almost done with your pancakes. Are you full? I will make you another one."
The prince shook his head: "Thank you for your trouble, Miss. I am full."
The pancakes were delicious, so it wouldn't hurt for him to have another one. However, the Emperor had told her to rest, so how could he continue to order her around?
Wen Jiu placed all his final hopes on Tong Guowei.
Tong Guowei saw Wenjiu looking at him and clasped his fists and said, "Miss, I am full too. You have a pair of skillful hands, and I have never tasted this kind of food before. Today I am doing this thanks to the emperor." Tong Guowei was secretly flattering the emperor.
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi finally smiled and said, "To be honest, I am also relying on the fourth brother's help. If he hadn't brought Miss Wen to the palace, I wouldn't be able to have this bite."
The king and his minister chatted back and forth, while the warm wine passed the day like years counting melon seeds.
"Girl Wen, I'm talking to you." Just when Wen Jiu was struggling over whether to count to eighty-eight or ninety-eight, he was suddenly interrupted by Emperor Kangxi.
Wen Jiu looked up blankly, and Emperor Kangxi repeated: "If you are worried about it, then go to the front and take a look."
Wen Jiu's forehead was filled with question marks: "Your Majesty?"
What does this mean?
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Take her a few steps forward and check. The fourth brother should have stopped by now."
Su Peisheng immediately responded, "Yeah."
Then he went up to Wenjiu and said, "Please come in, young lady." He even winked at Wenjiu inadvertently.
Wen Jiu suddenly came back to his senses and bowed to Emperor Kangxi: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Did he see that she was really uncomfortable sitting there and wanted her to go to the Fourth Master? Needless to say, this emperor was quite humane.
He immediately ran away happily with Su Peisheng.
Emperor Kangxi looked at Wen Jiu's impatient pace and sighed softly.
It's a pity that the fourth child is even less romantic than him. It's a bit regrettable.
Wen Jiu had not walked far when she saw Prince Zhi quickly pass by her, leaving behind a gust of wind.
Prince Zhi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He came to Emperor Kangxi and clasped his fists and said, "Father, I am not feeling well and want to go back soon."
Emperor Kangxi was not surprised and waved his hand, saying, "Go back."
After thinking for a moment, he gave another warning: "Take your wife back with you and take good care of her. She's still pregnant. And don't put on a sour face all day long."
Hearing Emperor Kangxi mention his wife, Prince Zhi subconsciously glanced at the women behind him. Leng Ning's expression softened slightly.
"Yes." Then, without even looking at the prince, he turned around and left.
Wenjiu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this Prince of Zhi might have lost again.
Then, he felt a pair of large hands pressing down on his head.
"What are you looking at?" asked the Fourth Master.
Wen Jiu smiled: "Congratulations, Master, on winning."
The Fourth Master gave a noncommittal smile, "What's there to congratulate?" He simply didn't want to argue with his eldest brother anymore. If he couldn't win one thing, his eldest brother would have to choose another. If this continued, it would probably never end.
So, he had his fill of fighting with his elder brother all at once, and now he had some peace and quiet.
"Anyway, congratulations, my master, you are so awesome." Wen Jiu said.
The Fourth Master couldn't help but be amused by her and responded with two sentences: "Yeah, you're right, your master is amazing."
Then he asked, "Are you hungry? Are you tired now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wen Jiu shook his head: "No, I just ate a pancake. The emperor has always taken good care of me."
The Fourth Master listened to her silly words and shook his head in disbelief. Who was the Emperor to care about taking care of this little girl? That was just out of the blue!
This girl can make up any lies to reassure herself.
