Chapter 380 Your Highness, can you trust the Fourth Master’s words?
The Fourth Master followed the Crown Prince's gaze and glanced back, saying, "We are brothers talking, why would you ask a maid to follow us? Second Brother, don't take this to heart."
The Crown Prince shook his head upon hearing this, disapprovingly saying, "Miss Wen is somewhat different from ordinary women. The Emperor seems to be quite fond of her. The Fourth Prince should bring Miss Wen into the palace more often."
From a distance, the woman's beauty remained unchanged. It was a coincidence that someone with such a face was also a good cook. He hadn't seen the emperor so happy and smiling in a long time.
"She's just a little girl. She's young and naive. Didn't she offend my second brother? My mother missed her so much that she summoned her to the palace. I didn't expect the emperor to invite her to dinner."
Hearing the prince mention wine from time to time, the Fourth Master subconsciously rubbed his fingers twice. His cold brows were a little cautious, and he was looking at the prince's expression intentionally or unintentionally.
The Crown Prince still had a gentle smile on his face. He patted the Fourth Master on the shoulder and said, "You should be gentler with the women around you. How can women dare to get close to you when you speak so coldly? The food Miss Wen prepared today was excellent. It's a great contribution. Don't treat her unfairly."
"I'll listen to Second Brother." The Fourth Master responded and changed the subject: "Second Brother came to chase my younger brother. Is there something you want to tell me?"
The Crown Prince waved his hand. "I don't have any instructions. It's just that I haven't spoken to you properly for a long time. Now that you're in the palace, why don't you go to Yuqing Palace and sit down for a while?"
"The Emperor has given me instructions, so I dare not delay any longer. When I have free time, I will go find my second brother to drink together." said the Fourth Master.
"That's good, of course, but you have to bring Miss Wen with you. The food she prepared is truly unforgettable. After I had this meal today, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat ordinary food tomorrow." The prince looked at the Fourth Master with a smile.
The Fourth Master's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Second brother likes it. I will give this recipe to you."
The prince waved his hands repeatedly: "This won't do. How can I..."
"Second brother!" The Fourth Master interrupted the Crown Prince, his eyes suddenly filled with seriousness: "What belongs to my younger brother is what belongs to my second brother."
The prince was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "You and I are brothers, we can indeed be indistinguishable from each other."
"Second brother is wrong." The fourth master said in a low voice, word by word: "Second brother's things are still second brother's things."
Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes met the Fourth Master's indifferently.
One of them had a gentle smile on his face, and the other had an indifferent expression. Their eyes met, and they were speechless for a long time.
The sun went in and out of the clouds, and the breeze blew gently, seeming to take away the noise.
The prince suddenly laughed: "What are you talking about?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I have never coveted your things." The Fourth Master suddenly said.
"Brother, it's getting late. I still have to go to the Dali Temple, so I won't chat with you any more. We'll drink together another day."
The prince nodded gently, and watched the figures of the Fourth Master and others disappear from his sight, but he still stood there without moving, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Your Highness, do you think what the Fourth Master said is credible?" Xiao Zhuzi behind him couldn't help but frowned.
"Believe it, why not?" The prince's voice was light.
"But, even though the Fourth Prince has such great abilities now, he never told you. It's a waste of your kindness in caring for him when he was young. Now that he's grown up, he's paying attention to you. If it weren't for you, no one would have known that the Fourth Prince had died of illness in the East Third House! This servant is doing this for you..."
"Shut up." The prince suddenly interrupted Xiao Zhuzi in a cold voice. The gentle expression on his face did not even change, only a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "My brother, it's not your turn to make up stories yet."
Xiao Zhuzi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Highness, I deserve to die. I am too talkative."
After a long moment, the prince exhaled, "Get up."
Xiao Zhuzi immediately and carefully got up from the ground, and this time he didn't dare to speak nonsense again.
Then he heard the Crown Prince say, "The Emperor said that from now on the Qing Dynasty will belong to me. The fourth brother said his is also mine, and the entire Yuqing Palace says it belongs to me. Zhuzi, what do you think I own?"
Xiao Zhuzi was stunned by the question, then smiled and said, "Your Highness, all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, power and status, fine wine and beautiful women in this world are within your reach as long as you want them. What Your Highness possesses is beyond the reach of others."
The prince smiled noncommittally and said, "Oh, I'm really confused."
What can you get out of asking a servant?
"Your Highness..." Xiao Zhuzi looked at the prince uneasily, feeling that something was wrong with the prince's mood today.
"I remember there's someone in the backyard who I haven't summoned yet, right?"
Xiao Zhuzi nodded immediately: "Your Highness is right. This is someone the Emperor rewarded earlier. He has a very special life. You will definitely like him when you see him."
The prince did not comment, but just said, "Lead the way." It would be nice to find someone to talk to.
…
Wen Jiu was brought to the Imperial Hospital by the Fourth Master, and the imperial doctors who were once familiar with her surrounded her in an instant.
Led by Imperial Physician Liu, he was followed by his two sons and a grandson.
Including several imperial doctors who went to Jinyang together, he also brought a few acquaintances.
The house is almost full.
"My Lord, I never thought that you and the young lady would come to visit us in the Imperial Hospital one day. This is really great." Imperial Physician Liu stroked his beard with a smile, his eyes shining as he looked at the warm wine.
Wen Jiu looked at the string of hearts on the old man's head and felt a little amused.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? I brought some food today. Please don't mind." As he said this, he pretended to take out food from his arms, but in fact he took out several oil-paper bags from the space in a row.
I got two bags each of beef jerky, spicy chips, chicken nuggets, and French fries.
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Doctor Liu stepped forward without hesitation and took the oil-paper package from Wenjiu's hand, thanking him repeatedly: "I have always been thinking about this bite of food, young lady, and today I am satisfied. Thank you very much, young lady."
The doctors around were all stunned.
The imperial doctors who had eaten the warm wine and food beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting their actions.
If I had had a better relationship with Miss Wen at the beginning, I think she would have brought them some food!
Doctor Liu's sons were completely stunned. They knew how picky their old man was. There were at least eighty people he looked down upon. He was always stubborn and scolding people. How long had it been since they saw him smiling like this?
What's more, the other party is the Fourth Master's concubine. This matter is so weird no matter how you think about it.
What’s even more bizarre is that the Fourth Master also came to see his old man!
This gentleman is of high status. Hearing that the emperor had specially summoned him to dine at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he should be busy at the moment. So why did he appear in the Imperial Hospital? And even brought food with him and his concubines?
