Chapter 460: Share the joys and the sorrows
"Your Majesty, I think this plate of grapes is very good and I want to send some to Your Majesty." As the Fourth Master spoke, he picked up the bowl of crystal clear grapes on the Fourteenth Table next to him.
When Fourteen heard this, his brows immediately frowned: "Fourth brother, why don't you take your own, but take the ones on my table?" Looking ahead, he saw that the grapes on his fourth brother's table were also uneaten.
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment and said, "I think the one you have here is bigger." Suddenly he said, "Fourteen, do you want to go with me?"
Fourteen looked at his fourth brother with suspicion. His fourth brother was always in a bad mood with him, and Fourteen was used to it by now.
Now he suddenly invited me to go with him to visit the Empress Dowager. What did this mean? Fourteen felt that there might be something fishy going on.
Before Fourteen could answer, the Fourth Master clasped his fists towards Emperor Kangxi and said, "Father Your Majesty, Fourteen has agreed, and Thirteen wants to go too. Shall I take them to the Empress Dowager first?"
Emperor Kangxi was very pleased to hear this: "You can go and spend some time with your grandmother. She hasn't been feeling well lately, and seeing you will surely comfort her."
The Fourth Master responded and bowed respectfully to Emperor Kangxi, but he was actually extremely anxious.
Jiu'er was pregnant, and she had lost noticeably more weight in the past two days. She looked listless. She was always cheerful, but the Fourth Master could tell she was a little tired. Her belly seemed to have gotten bigger over the past two days, and her walk seemed a little different than before.
Lao Wu seldom talks to me on weekdays. Since he talks to me, I think this matter must be very important. I don’t know how long Jiu’er has stayed with the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager rarely cares about things happening in the backyard, and she doesn't know what happened this time.
Thinking about it carefully, the Fourth Master's heart skipped a beat.
What the Empress Dowager hated most was concubines, especially beautiful ones.
I was afraid that the Empress Dowager would think of Consort Dong E, who was with the Emperor's grandfather. Because of this, the Empress Dowager suffered a lot of grievances.
Jiu'er is also a bit charming, and she doesn't look like the type that the elders like. If she really offends the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid things will not end well.
The Fourth Master was also nervous for a moment, so he turned around and walked out quickly.
After hearing what the Fourth Master said, Fourteen was completely confused. When did he agree?
Thirteen put down his chopsticks and stood up silently.
Well, Fourth Brother is just like in his previous life, he never forgets himself no matter what happens.
"Let's go." The Fourth Master glanced at Fourteenth, frowned and said, then turned around and strode out of the house.
When Fourteenth came to his senses, he had inexplicably followed his fourth brother out of the hall. He couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Fourth brother, what are you up to? We were enjoying our meal and drinks, why did you call me and Thirteenth brother out?"
The Fourth Master didn't stop walking. He frowned and looked back at the Fourteenth Master. He said, "The Empress Dowager has passed the wine to you."
The reason he suddenly thought of bringing the thirteen and fourteen children along was that he didn't want to appear too prominently in front of the Empress Dowager. If he went right after the Empress Dowager had called someone over, he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would vent her anger on Jiu'er.
Furthermore, the Empress Dowager loves Little Fourteen the most, and what Little Fourteen says may be of great use.
As soon as these words came out, Thirteen frowned immediately: "Fourth brother, what's going on?"
The Empress Dowager rarely changes concubines, and the wives of the concubines rarely see each other on a daily basis. Why would she suddenly summon the fourth sister-in-law over?
Furthermore, Little Fourth Sister-in-law's appearance was a little too flamboyant, and the Empress Dowager generally disliked women with flamboyant looks. She always felt that it was not a good thing.
Fourth Master: "I don't know either."
Fourteenth was amused when he heard this: "Why? Does the Empress Dowager want to eat cake too?"
Thirteen couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something to Fourteen, he saw Fourteen slap his thigh and said with sudden realization, "Oh, I know. It must be that Wenjiu is pregnant with the great-great-grandson of the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother is worried about it and wants to see it in advance."
Thirteen:"……"
Sure enough, in the eyes of Little Fourteen, his royal grandmother is definitely the best person in the world.
Fourteenth didn't notice his two brothers were in a bad mood at all. He was still humming a little tune, with his hands behind his back, and said happily: "Well, if the Empress Dowager is really interested in food, she might warm the wine and make her a lot of delicious food. Then we can have a meal there.
Hey, how else can we say that Fourth Brother is smart? If we were at the banquet, we would have to eat the cold food on the banquet. Fourth Brother, I have to thank you. If you have such good things in the future, please don’t forget us.
Fourth Master: "...If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Fourth Master glared at him in annoyance and continued to walk forward at a rapid pace.
Fourteenth was stunned by his fierceness and could only pout and complain to Thirteen beside him: "Thirteenth brother, look at Fourth Brother, he is always giving him a bad face. Only my brother can stand him."
Thirteen was silent for a moment, patted Fourteen on the shoulder and said, "Be more careful." Then he hurried to catch up with the Fourth Master in front.
Fourteen suddenly jumped up and said, "Thirteenth brother, you've made it clear. Who wouldn't be caring?"
"Fourth brother, thirteenth brother, fourteenth brother, wait for me!"
As they were talking, they suddenly heard the panting voice of the Third Master behind them.
When I turned around, I saw the Third Master running towards me, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
He exhaled and said, "Finally caught up with you."
"Third brother, what are you doing..."
The Fourth Master didn't say anything, but Thirteen asked this question immediately.
The Third Master said with a smile, "Sharing happiness and hardships together, how about that? Fourth Master, isn't this very considerate of me?"
The banquet was so boring. He listened to the ministers flattering the emperor so much that his ears were almost callused. Just when he was bored, he saw the fifth and fourth brothers talking.
These two people seemed to have no contact with each other for life, but when he saw them talking, the Third Master immediately became interested.
After the fourth brother left, he immediately went to the fifth brother to inquire about the news. The fifth brother did not hide it and told him.
The Third Master's heart skipped a beat, as his Fang'er had also been called over by the Empress Dowager once before.
After I came back, I felt estranged from him for a long time.
My younger brother's wife is still pregnant, no wonder the fourth brother followed her out without saying a word.
He might as well come and take a look. The Empress Dowager can't let her younger brothers and sisters eat melon leftovers in front of these gentlemen, right?
"Thank you, Third Brother."
When the Fourth Master saw his Third Brother's carefree look, he felt a little warm in his heart.
