Chapter 364 I Want to Be with My Fourth Brother
"Let's go. I'll tell the Emperor and take you back right away."
The Fourth Master returned with the warm wine and immediately clasped his fists before Emperor Kangxi, saying, "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission and have completed the examinations of all the princes in various subjects." He then pulled out a stack of files from his bosom and presented them to him with both hands, "Here are everyone's results."
Emperor Kangxi took it, took a look at it, and then nodded: "Well, you have worked hard today." In fact, what surprised Emperor Kangxi even more was that his fourth son's boxing skills had been improved today.
The Fourth Master immediately said, "Father, I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and Mother, and I'm back now."
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Have lunch before returning. Wen said she would prepare some food for lunch. You boys should all stay and have lunch in my Palace of Heavenly Purity."
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment and frowned subconsciously, but before he could say anything, he heard shouting behind him.
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, Little Fourth Sister-in-law! Are we back?"
The Ninth Master, the Tenth Master and their group were running towards this direction in a large group. Their foreheads were covered with sweat and their bodies were covered with dust, but they all looked energetic.
"Your Majesty." Everyone saluted Emperor Kangxi. "Crown Prince." They saluted the Crown Prince beside them. They also exchanged greetings with Tong Guowei.
Then, Master Shi immediately ran over to warm the wine and said, "Little Sister Si, please make another pancake. I've been running around for a while and my stomach is empty."
The Fourth Master's face turned even darker. He had come back earlier to prevent them from pestering Jiu'er, but he didn't expect these guys to catch up with him so quickly.
"Why do you only know how to order Fourth Sister-in-law around? Come, I'll do it for you!" Ninth Master rolled up his sleeves and sat down on the stool. He knew Fourth Sister-in-law was pregnant, so he naturally understood why his fourth brother's face was so dark. So he simply lent a hand.
"Old Nine has this ability?" The Third Master became curious.
Jiu Ye raised his neck and said, "Of course, my grilled skewers are delicious. Sister-in-law Si also said they were delicious. I think a pancake like this will be no problem. If you don't believe me, go ask Sister-in-law Si."
The Third Master turned his gaze to Wenjiu and stared at him unconsciously for a moment.
[Ding, I received a heart from the Third Master.]
Warming the wine: "..."
This feels damn familiar.
"Third Master, Ninth Master's skewers are really delicious..."
"Tsk tsk, what's wrong with you, girl?" The Third Master didn't care whether the skewers were delicious or not. Instead, he interrupted her and frowned tightly: "Your clothes are not good-looking. You should wear bright red."
Warming the wine: "..."
How brave of you are to persuade a concubine to wear bright red clothes?
She knew that the Third Master was a bit of a shrewd person. If she didn't know, she might have thought that this Master wanted to kill her.
The veins on the Fourth Master's forehead were throbbing. He turned sideways, blocking the warm wine completely, and squinted his eyes at the Third Master.
The Third Master met the Fourth Master's deep eyes, shrank his neck, coughed lightly, and immediately ran to the Ninth Master: "Old Nine, let Third Brother see your cooking skills."
Then he said to the Fourth Master beside him, "Fourth Brother, Third Brother doesn't need you to stay here with him. Go and do your own thing."
This brat is getting scarier and scarier as he grows older.
The Third Master felt that he was really aggrieved. Was there any brother in the world as lacking in dignity as he was?
Come to think of it, he was obviously born not much earlier than the fourth child. How did he become the older brother?
If only he was the fourth brother, then there wouldn’t be any embarrassment.
"Sister-in-law Si, come and help me see if this is how the batter is made?" Master Jiu hurriedly spread out a pancake, excitement in his eyes.
Wen Jiu took a look and immediately gave a thumbs up: "Master Jiu has talent."
It is said that Jiu Ye does have some talent in cooking, and it seems that he is born with a better perception of ingredients than ordinary people.
Although the pancake wasn't quite round, it was perfectly symmetrical. Because it wasn't quite cooked, Master Jiu carefully controlled the heat, turning it down a bit.
Wenjiu pointed to the sauces beside him and told him what they tasted like.
Jiu Ye nodded as he listened, and soon the first pancake came out.
Jiu Ye didn't say anything and directly stuffed the pancake into his third brother's hands: "Third brother, please eat it."
This third brother just doesn't learn his lesson and was distracted by staring at the fourth sister-in-law.
In order to prevent his third brother from getting beaten less, Jiu Ye decided to save him.
The Third Master came back to his senses, took the pancake and looked at it carefully, but frowned and said, "This thing is a bit ugly..."
Jiu Ye simply pushed his elbow and said, "Eat it."
No one will think you are dumb if you speak less.
The Third Master touched it to his mouth and subconsciously took a bite. Then his eyes lit up: "Huh? It seems to taste pretty good."
Jiu Ye patted his chest and said, "Well, take a look, I didn't fool you, did I?"
"Nineth brother, please make one for me quickly. It should be the same as the one made by fourth sister-in-law for me, with lots of meat." said the tenth master.
At this moment, all the princes came to Jiu Ye’s pancake stall.
Seeing this, the Fourth Master went up to Emperor Kangxi and said, "Father, I've been sweating a lot and feel really sticky. I want to go back and wash up."
Emperor Kangxi nodded and said, "Go ahead. Come back before lunch."
Wen Jiu thought for a moment and immediately took out a piece of paper and presented it to Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, there are some ingredients that need to be prepared in advance for lunch. I wrote a recipe earlier. Do you think it would be possible to have the kitchen staff prepare it?"
Emperor Kangxi nodded: "Yes."
Liang Jiugong beside him immediately took it over.
After watching Wenjiu and the Fourth Master leave, Emperor Kangxi picked up the melon seeds again and cracked them intermittently, not knowing what he was thinking about.
The prince's eyes were fixed on the Fourth Master's back for a long time, as if the surrounding hustle and bustle had nothing to do with him.
The Fourteenth Master had been staring at his fourth brother. When he saw that his fourth brother had left, he didn't even bother to eat his pancakes and immediately ran over: "Father, I'm going to see Mother."
As he spoke, he trotted after the Fourth Master.
"Fourth brother, warm up the wine, wait for me!" Fourteenth Master caught up breathlessly.
The Fourth Master had wanted to exchange a few words with Wen Jiu, but who knew that Little Fourteen would show up? He held his breath, frowning tightly as he asked, "Don't you want some pancakes?"
Fourteenth shook his head like a rattle: "It's okay to eat later, I want to eat with Fourth Brother."
Seeing the Fourth Master looking at him suspiciously, the Fourteenth Master coughed lightly and said, "I want to go with Fourth Brother to pay my respects to Mother."
Thinking it was just a short distance, the Fourth Master suppressed his anger and walked a little slower, worried that Wenjiu would be tired after walking with him for so long.
Fourteenth, however, didn't notice his fourth brother's unhappiness at all. Instead, he opened his big, curious eyes and asked, "Fourth brother, how do you practice riding on a daily basis? Your horse is obviously not the best, so how come it can outrun eldest brother's Tayun?"
How did you practice your boxing and kicking?
How can you defeat so many people?"
Fourteen subconsciously compared his fist with Fourth Brother's fist.
I just felt that Fourth Brother's fist was extremely large, and the calluses on the knuckles were extremely thick. I was afraid that even a needle might not be able to pierce through them.
But his own hands were thin and white, like a girl's, and he suddenly felt a little disgusted.
Fourth brother's skin color is also darker than that of ordinary people, and he looks very manly.
My skin is so white and tender, it's really annoying.
[Ding~ Successfully completed 50% of the second stage of the "Stop the Fourth Master's Evil Destruction" mission, and was rewarded with a random gift pack.]
Wenjiu blinked and was stunned when he suddenly heard this system broadcast.
She hadn't done anything, so how come she had suddenly finished half of it?
There were several times in the middle of the first part of stopping the Fourth Master from turning evil, which was so difficult that she went bald. She passed 50% of the second part with her eyes closed, which was really a bit uncomfortable...
