Chapter 376: Fourth Brother also has a gentle side???
Obviously, Emperor Kangxi strongly disapproved of this way of eating. Wen Jiu thought that he still had to be careful.
He immediately explained seriously, "Your Majesty, I used to serve the Fourth Master. We servants have little free time and try to eat as quickly as possible, which is how we developed this skill. In my opinion, you brothers don't need to learn this. This kind of diet is very bad for your stomach and intestines, so you should take care of your health first."
Emperor Kangxi nodded after hearing this and asked, "Can you really eat an egg in one bite?"
Warming the wine: "..."
As the king of a country, you are paying attention to this matter now. Is there something wrong?
Just as she was about to cover up the matter with a smile, when she looked up, she saw Emperor Kangxi staring at her without blinking. It was obvious that the emperor also wanted to witness it in person.
Wenjiu blinked, stamped his feet, and finally walked to the table, peeled an egg, and put it into his mouth again.
Emperor Kangxi was completely shocked. His brows were twisted so tightly that they could kill a fly. "Is this how you usually eat?"
A girl, eating like this? It's really rare to see such a thing in my life.
Emperor Kangxi actually saw a hint of sadness. After a while, he turned his head and asked Liang Jiugong, "Do servants have to be so busy?"
Liang Jiugong never thought that the Emperor would suddenly care about the diet of his servants.
In fact, when he heard what Miss Wen said just now, he felt a little touched in his heart. Yes, they are all servants, so who isn't the same?
He was considered a leader among the servants, and even at mealtime, he ate a few mouthfuls quickly and finished. He hurried back to the Emperor's side to stand guard, fearing that he might miss something and make a mistake.
This Miss Wen is really brave and thoughtful.
He would never dare to say such words. A servant is born to serve his master, so how could he complain about the hard work?
However, since Miss Wen had already put the words to his lips, he would not lose face for her and waste her efforts.
Liang Jiugong replied with a smile: "As servants, we are willing to serve the emperor and the masters no matter how busy we are.
Normally, servants have a quarter-hour break for lunch when they change shifts. However, most of them worry that their masters can't find them, so they eat a quick bite and return to their shift. "When they are in their master's presence, they feel at ease."
As Liang Jiugong was speaking, he saw Wen Jiu and couldn't help but nod and smile at him.
Emperor Kangxi frowned upon hearing this and said, "It won't take a while longer to eat. Send the order down later and have everyone finish their meal before returning to duty."
As soon as these words were spoken, the servants in the Qianqing Palace knelt down like dumplings and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
For a moment, the entire Qianqing Palace was filled with joy.
Wen Jiu noticed the extremely kind looks of the crowd and was stunned for a moment. She never thought that she would have such an unexpected gain.
Now, not only did most of the servants around him wear light pink on their hair, but even Liang Jiugong, who was beside Emperor Kangxi, had a heart on his head with color.
[Ding~ Gaining the favor and love of twenty or more people at once will reward you with ten points of luck, which can be distributed freely.]
Wen Jiu blinked blankly. Wow, this trip to the palace was really fruitful.
[Master, our space is so full now, hahahaha. Please come back and take a look when you're done!]
At the time, Wen Jiu was immersed in the joy of her luck value, completely unaware that her few unintentional words had brought benefits to countless palace servants. So much so that many years later, the maids in the palace would still tell the legendary story of this Miss Wen to the newly arrived young maids.
When the Fourth Master saw that Wenjiu had finished eating the eggs, he poured her a glass of water.
"Drink some water."
Afraid that she would choke, he even reached out and massaged her back twice.
This girl is really something, I don't know what's going on in her head. She just said she wanted to be quiet, and now she's munching on eggs. It's true that the thoughts of pregnant women are hard to figure out.
Wenjiu subconsciously followed the Fourth Master's hand and drank the whole cup of water. Then she burped softly. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she immediately hid behind the Fourth Master.
It’s better to selectively forget these not-so-good memories. Anyway, I unexpectedly gained 10 points of luck, which is not a loss at all.
At this moment, everyone behind him was shocked.
Everyone thought that swallowing an egg in one mouthful was not a big deal, because their fourth brother could actually hold a teacup and feed people water!
Not only did he drink water, he also used a handkerchief to wipe the other person's mouth.
That’s not all, he can even gently help people smooth their backs.
Even now, his eyes haven't moved away from her.
What's going on? Is this their cold-faced, selfless Fourth Brother?
It is rumored that Fourth Brother often abuses women, so what is going on in this scene?
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but look at the Fourth Master at this time, but he also had some understanding of the Fourth Master's actions.
Wolfing down eggs with warm wine was truly heartbreaking. The fourth child probably felt sorry for her.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Girl Wen, if you're hungry, just eat more. There aren't so many rules today."
Wenjiu looked at the little love heart that suddenly appeared on Emperor Kangxi's head, and immediately responded obediently.
[Master, wow wow wow, that's amazing! I'm so excited for the days ahead! The little master will definitely become smarter and smarter. I'm so looking forward to their birth.]
Wenjiu couldn't help laughing. She was also very excited now and wanted to know what her baby would look like.
Although I didn't receive more love from Emperor Kangxi today, the heavy stone in my heart finally eased.
Today was a good start, and there were still many months to go, with gradual progress. She still didn't believe she could get nine hearts.
Her requirements are not high. It is enough for the children to reach the normal values. Of course, the more, the better.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang, the Minister of the Dali Temple, requests to see you outside the palace." Li Dequan crouched down as he walked into the hall and came up to Emperor Kangxi to answer.
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."
"Zhang Xian, the Minister of Justice, pays homage to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and all the other princes."
Zhang Xiansheng was a tall and strong man with a full beard. After he entered the house, he saluted with his fists clasped and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Why are you rushing into the palace today? What happened?"
Zhang Xian glanced at the people around him and did not respond for a moment.
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It's alright, go ahead."
Zhang Xian then bowed and replied, “Your Majesty, Liu Yu, the former governor of Jinyang, who was previously escorted back to the capital by the Fourth Prince, is still being held in the Dali Temple.
Recently, he has sent his men to several ministers to express his desire to die as an apology, and only asks the Emperor to allow his body to be returned to his homeland. This is written by Liu Yu himself.
Zhang Xian immediately presented the one stained with snow.
Emperor Kangxi glanced at it quickly, his expression becoming increasingly cold.
Finally, he handed the blood-written letter to the Fourth Master: "Fourth Master, come and take a look."
The Fourth Master felt a little uncomfortable holding the paper.
He subconsciously looked towards Wenjiu beside him, and saw that the little girl was also staring at her hands very nervously.
It seems that every time something happens to Liu Yu, the little girl always pays special attention to it.
After a long pause, the Fourth Master said, "Father Your Majesty, in my opinion, should you allow him this time? Let him return to Jinyang and become a county magistrate?"
Now, Liu Yu’s only wish is probably to be buried together with his wife.
