Chapter 439 Emperor Kangxi: What reward do you want?
Warming the wine: "It's specially for birthdays. If nothing goes wrong, everyone will be able to enjoy it on the emperor's birthday."
Wen Jiu thought that when the emperor's birthday comes, she would send him a cake if she had the chance. Maybe she could even grow another heart for him.
"The name sounds ordinary, but I'm looking forward to your new food." Fourteen said.
Wenjiu responded with a smile and didn't say much. The three of them played until noon.
An Luhai prepared lunch, a dish everyone had been enjoying lately: boiled fish. An Luhai's boiled fish was now even better than the warm wine, and his snacks were even better than his predecessor's.
With a bowl of white rice and some warm wine, they opened two cans of food, and the three of them ate until their bellies were full.
It was true that they had eaten too much, and several people sat lazily by the window in a daze, chatting idly, listening carefully, and discussing what to eat in the evening.
Liang Jiugong, who served Emperor Kangxi, came over at this time.
"My lords, the Emperor has summoned you two to discuss something important."
Liang Jiugong has gotten used to it now. Miss Wen is really capable. Few of the princes have a bad relationship with her. It is not surprising that the three of them are sitting together now.
However, Liang Jiugong subconsciously followed their gaze and looked outside. There was nothing in the sky, not even a cloud. What were the three of them looking at?
After a while, I finally saw the Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master move. They looked at each other lazily, and then stood up.
Liang Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief and trotted forward to lead the way.
Wen Jiu got up and saw them off, then turned to sleep. Today shouldn't be the day in the memory fragment.
When Thirteen entered the house, he found that except for the two of them, all the other brothers were there.
Emperor Kangxi followed them and waved, saying, "Since you're here, sit down and listen together."
The Fourth Master continued, "The broken dam has been repaired, and the flood has been cleared. The victims have now been properly resettled. Father Your Majesty, these are memorials submitted by officials from Suzhou and Hangzhou." As the Fourth Master spoke, he presented a stack of memorials.
Emperor Kangxi casually picked up two books and flipped through them, a hint of joy appearing on his face. "The drizzle that has been going on for more than ten days has finally stopped. You have all been very busy following me these days. Tell me what rewards you want. I will grant them to you today."
The recent floods had caused Emperor Kangxi to get so worried that he had two blisters on the corners of his mouth. Now that the incident was over, he finally felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, is everything really possible?" asked the Third Master, his eyes lighting up.
"Tell me about it." Emperor Kangxi did not agree directly. Who knows what these brats want?
"Your Majesty, I want to take a two-day break." Prince Zhi said immediately.
"Take a break? What are you going to do?" asked Emperor Kangxi.
"I want to send some things to Madam Fu, and I also want to find a maid who is good at massage to take back with me."
The wife has been having a hard time with her pregnancy recently, and her hands and feet are swollen. Prince Zhi is really worried about her.
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi nodded and said, "I agree."
Prince Zhi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Emperor Kangxi: "Thank you, Father."
He had never expected that the Emperor hadn't scolded him today. Normally, if he mentioned the matter of his wife, he would have been scolded. It seemed that the Emperor was in a very good mood today and hadn't lost his temper.
Emperor Kangxi now turned his attention to the Third Master: "Third Master, what about you?"
The Third Master's eyes rolled and he said, "Father, I also want to take a two-day break."
Emperor Kangxi frowned and looked over: "What are you going to do now?"
"Father, aren't we going to dock in two days?" The Third Master rubbed his hands and said, "My son wants to go to Yangzhou to see if the legendary Yangzhou skinny horses are really that beautiful."
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Kangxi's smiling face instantly turned serious.
"presumptuous!"
Bang!
Emperor Kangxi slapped the table solemnly.
The Third Master was startled and immediately knelt down with his shoulders hunched.
"You evil creature! You don't make any progress all day long, and your mind is full of these things. What can I say to you?"
The Third Master shrank his neck in grievance, "Father Emperor, you asked your son to say that..."
If I had known he would have lied.
"This evil creature, copy the Heart Purification Mantra a hundred times!"
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he even stood up and slapped the Third Master on the back of the head, making the Third Master dazed. Emperor Kangxi then let out a long sigh and turned his attention to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master's eyes flickered slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Emperor Kangxi interrupted him: "Stop talking, we'll discuss this matter later."
Fourth Master: “…”
Emperor Kangxi rolled his eyes at the Fourth Master. Needless to say, he knew all about the Fourth Master's character and knew that he would definitely ask for the title of concubine for Miss Wen.
In fact, he mentioned this matter more than once. Whenever he wanted to reward someone for a small achievement, he would either say that he wanted to be promoted to a prince or that he wanted Wenjiu to be his concubine.
It's just these two things, coming back and forth, over and over again.
Emperor Kangxi's ears are about to get calluses from listening so much.
Emperor Kangxi was worried that the Fourth Master would say something, so he immediately turned to look at the Fifth Master and said with a gentle smile, "Fifth Master, what do you want?"
The Fifth Master smiled faintly and said, "Father, I want to take a look around your storeroom. I heard you recently acquired some calligraphy and paintings, and I want to pick out a couple."
After hearing what Fifth Master said, Emperor Kangxi's face finally smiled again. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, choose whatever you want. Liang Jiugong, you can take Fifth Master there later."
When the third master in the front heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Father, I also want to choose two paintings and calligraphy..."
He fell silent at the end of his words, because his royal father's eyes had become increasingly hostile. The Third Master shrank back in fear, not daring to speak.
Emperor Kangxi glanced at the Third Master with a bad look, then turned his attention to the Eighth Master: "Old Eighth, what about you?"
The Eighth Master immediately smiled and said, "It is the duty of sons to share the worries of the Emperor. I only hope that the Emperor will be safe and healthy and live a long and happy life."
These words successfully coaxed Emperor Kangxi into laughing: "Look at the eighth brother, how filial he is."
At that moment, he rolled his eyes at the Third Master and the others, then smiled at the Eighth Master and said, "Old Eighth Master, tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you."
The Eighth Master said, "Father Your Majesty, why don't you reward me with the opportunity to follow you? I feel that following you will help me gain more knowledge. I like following you."
Emperor Kangxi nodded and said, "I agree, but this reward must not be less. I have a few fine inkstones in the storehouse recently, and I will give them to you."
