Chapter 396: Request for Concubine
Wen Jiu nodded: "Then from now on, Madam, please think more about how to take care of my body."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Gui's face turned cold. "Young lady, do you think I'm talking too much? I've been in charge of palace training for many years and haven't made any mistakes yet."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "I also believe that Madam Gui has never made any mistakes. However, everything must have a rule. I have my own rules. Now that Madam Gui is here, does that mean we have to obey her in everything? How can that be justified?"
Nanny Gui was about to say something with a cold face, but Wen Jiu said, "Nanny, let's put it this way. I am also a reasonable person. Since Nanny thinks your rules are good, then please write them down. I will read them carefully and consider them carefully later."
Aunt Gui frowned, her cold eyes subconsciously falling on Wenjiu's impeccable face: "What do you mean, young lady?"
Wen Jiu only said, "It means exactly what it says. Mammy, just write it down for me. Also, if you want me to make any changes, please write them down. I will read them carefully."
Nanny Gui frowned for a long time, unable to figure out Wenjiu's intention. Wenjiu said directly, "Shanzha, choose a room for Nanny and take her to settle down first. You don't have to be on duty today. Get familiar with the rules around me first."
Shanzha responded with a smile, then said, "Madam, please come this way."
Nanny Gui took a deep look at Wenjiu, and only then did she realize that this man might be a powerful character.
She had originally thought that since she was a lady-in-waiting before the Emperor, ordinary ladies would speak to her with the utmost respect. This Miss Wen was merely a concubine, so she would certainly treat her with the utmost courtesy. After all, what an honor it was to be a lady-in-waiting before her.
But she didn't expect that this boy was naughty, but also a little smart. For a moment, Aunt Gui's face looked extremely ugly. After bowing with a cold face, she went out.
"Miss, why would the prince send such a person here?" Liusu looked at Nanny Gui and felt that something was wrong.
Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Who knows? Just ask when Lord Beile comes back later."
"Girl, who is that nanny? She looks like someone owes her money. The look in her eyes gives me chills." Dashao came back from outside carrying a small lunch box and shuddered at the moment.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but laugh and shook his head after hearing this: "That's Aunt Gui. You should be more respectful when you see her in the future. However, you don't have to obey her in everything."
It's understandable that Nanny Gui is in a bad mood. She's a good-looking lady-in-waiting in the imperial tea and kitchen room, but now she comes to serve a concubine like her. If she's in a good mood, then she must have a problem with her brain.
But why would the prince send such a person to me?
I clearly know that I don't like being constrained, so how much hatred and resentment does it mean to send such a person to me?
The Fourth Master was also in great pain. This was really not his intention.
He had originally wanted to find a nanny for Jiuer who was proficient in everything, but he never thought of looking for this Nanny Gui!
This person was given by the Emperor.
The emperor even specifically asked to send him to Jiu'er to serve him.
As for the cause, it all started from when he presented seeds earlier.
There has actually always been a royal experimental field in the Emperor's garden. The Emperor would check on it almost every day, but there has been no major progress.
When Liu Yu's booklet was presented to him, the Emperor was overjoyed. He immediately sought out a leading figure in agriculture to study it carefully. He then patted his shoulder and said,
"Fourth Brother, if this really does increase production, you'll be the main contributor. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Seeing this rare opportunity, the Fourth Master clasped his fists and said, "Father Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your approval."
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said, "You say it."
The Fourth Master said, "This son would like to ask for the title of Consort for Wen Jiu."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Emperor Kangxi's face suddenly disappeared. He squinted his eyes and looked at the Fourth Master: "Fourth Master, do you know what you are talking about?"
Liang Jiugong behind him wanted to lower his head to the ground at this moment. Oh, what incredible news did he hear?
If this incident today was done by the Third Master, there would be nothing strange about it. Even if it was done by another prince, Liang Jiugong would not be too surprised. But this incident happened to be done by their Fourth Prince.
That’s the Fourth Beile, the Fourth Beile who never gets interested in women!
Miss Wen was still a slave not long ago.
Who among those who hold the position of concubine is not a daughter of aristocracy or has made contributions to the production of offspring?
Miss Wen has nothing to do with it!
Is it that the prince is crazy, or is it that he is crazy?
"Your Majesty, I understand. Please agree." The Fourth Master's voice was resounding.
Emperor Kangxi came back to his senses and was so angry that he almost threw the packet of seeds in his hand away. In the end, he couldn't bear to do so. He held the seeds steadily in his hand, picked up a booklet at random, and hit the Fourth Master on the forehead with it.
"Evil creature, I think you are obsessed with sex!"
The Fourth Master was hit right in the face by the memorial, but he didn't try to hide. He just said, "Father Emperor, it was you who asked what reward I wanted."
"Evil creature, evil creature!" Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he picked up an inkstone and wanted to throw it down. Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside him, saw this and knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down. This inkstone strike could be fatal."
Liang Jiugong hugged Emperor Kangxi's legs and tried to persuade him, but Emperor Kangxi finally put down the inkstone, picked up a memorial and hit the Fourth Master with it.
Liang Jiugong looked at him and said to the Fourth Master, "Fourth Prince, please admit your fault to His Majesty. His Majesty loves you so much. Don't be confused."
"Don't try to persuade him." Emperor Kangxi suddenly glared at him, "You evil creature, please explain it to me clearly. I want to hear how confused you are."
The Fourth Master clasped his fists and said, "Father, Wenjiu saved me from danger time and again when I was in Jinyang. Didn't you say you would treat loyal servants well? Since she's pregnant, I'm thinking of giving her the position of Consort."
Emperor Kangxi's expression softened a bit after hearing this, but his brows couldn't help but furrowed. "Warm wine to save you?"
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "It happened more than once. My son and I were once kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountains. It was the warm wine that saved my son."
"How could a weak woman like her go up the mountain to save you?"
"She embroidered a sachet for me, and I carry the scent of her sachet on me. That's how she led the guards to find me and rescue me."
Emperor Kangxi's eyes were filled with doubt: "Really?"
The Fourth Master nodded seriously: "Really." He asked Jiu'er, and Jiu'er said that she smelled his scent and went to find him. In fact, the Fourth Master didn't believe it, but she really found him.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Emperor Kangxi still expressed doubts about the matter.
The Fourth Master explained seriously, "I feel humiliated by being rescued so many times by a girl, so I will not tell anyone else."
