Chapter 418 The Prince of Zhi who refuses to eat or drink
Unfortunately, the eldest prince was an obedient child and was unwilling to even take a nap.
He did whatever his wife said.
Nanny Sun felt a little distressed and couldn't help but advise, "Fujin, why don't you take advantage of the time when Prince is away and let our eldest prince have a good rest. You can also have a good talk with him. He has lost weight recently. He hasn't seen you for a long time, and I think he must miss you."
"What's the point of missing him?" Ulanara frowned and said, "He is the Fourth Master's eldest son and will be the one placed with high hopes in the future. How can a good heir be raised if he is too spoiled? Madam, remember, don't say this again.
Nanny Sun listened and nodded in agreement. She was completely at her wit's end.
He could only act out and watch as Fu Jin went to the front yard, picked up the eldest prince, and then took the eldest prince back to Jinghao Hall with a stern face.
…
Wen Jiu had already reached the gate of Yonghe Palace.
From a distance, she saw Aunt Wen waiting outside. When she saw her, she came over with a smile.
"aunt."
Wen Jiu walked over and held her aunt's hand, greeting her warmly. After they exchanged greetings, Aunt Wen took her to Yonghe Palace.
On the way, Aunt Wen couldn't help but remind her, "It's not a big deal. Don't worry when you meet other people later. The Queen will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."
Wenjiu nodded, becoming more curious.
Aunt Wen in front lifted the door curtain, and Wen Jiu followed her in.
"Your Majesty, Miss Wen is here." Aunt Wen folded her hands at her side, bowed smoothly, and replied with a smile.
Wen Jiu also followed behind and saluted: "Your servant greets the Empress Defei and the Empress Huifei."
Wen Jiu was indeed a bit surprised. If he remembered correctly, this Concubine Hui had always been causing trouble for Concubine De and her words were very harsh.
They had seemed to have fallen out over the matter of Prince Zhi that day, so why were they both sitting here smiling and even summoning me together? This seemed odd.
"Oh, this girl is so pretty! Only someone as thoughtful as my sister can raise such a good girl. Come, come to me and let me take a good look at her."
Seeing Concubine Hui talking to him with a smile on her face, Wenjiu's hair stood on end.
How come this Concubine Hui has two faces?
Speaking of which, her face was originally full of heroic spirit, and her kind words here always felt a little strange. What was even stranger was that she said she liked me, but the heart on her head was still a faint black.
But Wenjiu naturally didn't dare to refute, and subconsciously looked towards Concubine De.
De Fei laughed and said, "Sister Hui Fei, what are you talking about? The ones around me are all stupid and don't deserve praise."
Then he waved to Wenjiu and said, "Jiu'er, go to Empress Hui and let her take a good look at you."
Wenjiu responded and walked respectfully to Concubine Hui.
After hearing what Defei said, Huifei's face turned a little uncomfortable. Two days ago, when they were paying their respects to the Empress Dowager, she heard several young masters praising the warm wine in front of the Empress Dowager and mocked them as vulgar girls. This Defei was really petty, and now she was going to return the blame to herself.
In the past, she would not have suffered this injustice and would have just had a big quarrel and left. But now, when he needed her help, she had no idea what to do.
Taking a deep breath, Concubine Hui smiled slightly and gently patted Wen Jiu's hand and said, "He's a good child."
She gritted her teeth and put the Hetian jade bracelet she had just obtained two days ago on Wenjiu's hand and said, "Well, this girl has a slender wrist and fair skin. She looks best with Hetian jade."
De Fei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She didn't expect Hui Fei to drink so much today that she bled. This Hetian jade bracelet is of very good quality. She immediately smiled and said:
"Jiu'er, why don't you thank me?"
Wenjiu immediately followed Concubine De's instructions and bowed to express her gratitude. Now she understood that these two ladies were secretly competing with each other and putting her on the hot stove. Forget it, just be a tool.
Concubine Hui held onto the hand that was warming the wine, not letting go. She smiled and said, "Sister, I heard this child is an excellent cook." She sighed awkwardly and said, "As you know, the eldest son's spleen and stomach have been very bad these past two days. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything for several days. I'm at my wit's end, so I had the audacity to come here. Sister, why don't you let this child stay with me for a few days?"
Wen Jiu couldn't help but show a bit of surprise on his face. Prince Zhi refused to eat or drink? What was going on?
Just as she was thinking about how to turn it down, she heard Concubine De in front of her say with a smile, "Sister Hui, if Jiu'er was still the little maidservant who used to be by my side, it would be fine for her to serve you. However, she is now the Fourth Master's concubine, so it's not appropriate for her to follow Sister Hui.
Besides, Jiu'er's food is just some small stuff, I don't know if it will be of any use to Sister Hui, but can you let Jiu'er make two dishes for Sister Hui to take back?"
Concubine Hui glanced at the warm wine again and said with a smile, "Sister, this idea is also very good."
To be honest, she had never thought that she could just take the person away directly. With such good skills and already being the Fourth Master's person, it would be strange if Concubine De would let him go.
However, she would first make an excessive request. If Concubine De disagreed, she could then ask her for some small favors, which would be much easier.
"In that case, I'll trouble you to go to the kitchen and help make some food. The eldest brother hasn't eaten much in the past two days. I'm really worried about him."
As she spoke, she waved to the servant behind her and said, "Go and take the girl to the small kitchen."
"Wait a minute." Concubine De smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Did Jiu'er bring any food with him?"
Wen Jiu nodded: "In reply to your Majesty, I brought it with me to give you something to eat."
Concubine De nodded and said, "Sister Huifei, why don't you take some back and let Prince Zhi try it?"
Concubine Hui frowned upon hearing this. This Concubine De was so stingy. What's wrong with making a few side dishes? She was so timid and petty!
The eldest son in their family is a master after all. He just asked a concubine to prepare two dishes. Why is she being so pretentious?
Can't we eat something fresh? He was holding his breath and frowning. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the voice of the eunuch at the door.
"The Emperor has arrived~"
Everyone was startled and immediately stood up and went outside to greet them.
Emperor Kangxi strode into the Yonghe Palace with his hands behind his back, followed by the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince.
