Chapter 465: Empress Dowager, I will let Wen accompany you tomorrow
"Your Majesty, I thank you!" The Fourth Master clasped his fists towards Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi frowned and turned to look at his son. Seeing that the Fourth Master was looking at him with some anticipation on his face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He reacted instantly the next second and immediately changed the subject, "Mother Empress, let's take a look at how this card is played."
In all likelihood, they would bring up the matter of the title of Prince, or the request for the title of Consort.
Emperor Kangxi did not give him any chance to interrupt from beginning to end.
The rules of Landlord were very simple, and Emperor Kangxi had already figured them out after just one play. He had a lot of fun playing with the Empress Dowager and the Third Master.
The Fourth Master saw that his Royal Father had an evasive look on his face, but he didn't stare at him anymore. There was no point in staring him anyway, so he simply followed Wen Jiu and took about thirteen or fourteen other people to have a barbecue.
Emperor Kangxi and his companions often ate these barbecues, but the Empress Dowager rarely saw such a lively scene around her.
Normally, when people are around her, they are mostly respectful and polite, but now they are being so casual with each other, which is really rare.
The Queen Mother smiled so happily that her eyes curved. She felt very happy the whole day and even ate a lot more barbecue at night.
When she was done eating, Emperor Kangxi looked at her with a trembling look and stopped her: "Empress Dowager, you've only just recovered recently, so it's not good for you to eat so much again. I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if you eat too much."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I'll eat the last one. I don't know what's wrong with me today, but I feel like I have a very good appetite and I feel a little lighter."
Emperor Kangxi smiled upon hearing this: "Empress Dowager, you are thinking of the people. The weather is fine today, so you are naturally in a good mood. Furthermore, it was you who noticed that Wen is pregnant with twins, which means the royal family will have a prosperous heir. Not only is the Empress happy, but even I, your son, can't help but be happy today."
The Queen Mother clapped her hands with a smile, "Isn't that right? Today is truly a riot of joy. The Emperor is a true Dragon Son of Heaven, and even Heaven is celebrating His Majesty's birthday."
While the Queen Mother was speaking, she casually took a few more skewers of food to eat.
Emperor Kangxi hesitated several times to speak, and finally saw the Empress Dowager put down the stick.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the Queen Mother coming over with a somewhat aggrieved look on her face.
"Empress Mother, can you please let Miss Wen come over to accompany you tomorrow? If you want to eat something, I will ask Miss Wen to make it for you."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother said "OK", but she still looked listless and uninterested.
It wasn't the Queen Mother's fault, but since everyone else was eating and she was the only one watching, she naturally wasn't in a good mood. She had been the Queen Mother for many years, and she didn't want the children to see her being so unrestrained.
Emperor Kangxi was at a loss for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, he took a roasted mushroom and handed it to the Empress Dowager, saying, "Madam, would you like another mushroom?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "No more food. Your Majesty is right. I ate too much today."
Emperor Kangxi: “…”
Based on his understanding of the Empress Dowager, she must be angry...
Wen Jiu looked at it, took out her magic weapon at the right time, and said with a smile: "My lady, I still have some watermelon seeds here. You can try them. It's okay to eat more of them."
When the empress dowager looked over, she saw Wenjiu opening the oil paper package, and a scent of milky aroma wafted over.
"These melon seeds smell really good."
He then brought the warm wine to the Empress Dowager and said, "I usually like to eat these melon seeds as a snack. I can make some with milk flavor and some with five spices. Would you like to try which one tastes better?"
These watermelon seeds come from the watermelons in this space, and they're incredibly beneficial to your health. It's okay for the Empress Dowager to have some; it'll satisfy your hunger and be beneficial to your health.
"Okay, I'll try it." The Queen Mother took it from the wine maker and went to eat melon seeds with the wine in a good mood.
Emperor Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief. This Wen girl was sensible and much better than the brats around him.
He immediately glanced at his sons at the table with a bad look.
The Third Master shrank his neck. The Empress Dowager was being unreasonable. It was clearly him who made the Empress Dowager unhappy, so why was she still angry?
The Fourth Master looked at his nose and his heart, pretending not to see it, and even handed Wenjiu a beef skewer.
Thirteen silently handed over a grilled fish: "Father Emperor, would you like some?"
Fourteen was enjoying his meal, not even raising his head: "It smells so good."
Emperor Kangxi: “…”
Taking the grilled fish from Thirteen, he snorted coldly: "Still Thirteen, counting on you, huh..."
Fourteen finished chewing a chicken claw and heard this sentence. He looked confused: "Huh?"
Emperor Kangxi rolled his eyes at him, then stood up with the grilled fish in his hand and said, "Madam, I need to go to the front hall to take a look."
After all, we can't stay too long, it's almost time.
The Queen Mother nodded immediately: "Hurry up, hurry up, there's still work to do in the front hall."
Emperor Kangxi: “…”
The Empress Dowager really didn't want to keep him at all...
"Empress Dowager, let them stay and have a good talk with you." Emperor Kangxi said again.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "The Third and Fourth sons will go back with you. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth sons, as well as the young girl Wen, are all free. They can stay here and chat with me. Your Majesty, don't worry. Business is more important."
Emperor Kangxi nodded and said, "Madam, shall I leave now?"
"Go quickly."
The Empress Dowager saw Emperor Kangxi leave and then picked up two skewers.
Thirteen and Fourteen looked at each other, touching each other. Finally, Thirteen said, "Grandmother, you have a good appetite today. You've eaten quite a lot."
The Queen Mother's attitude towards Thirteen was much better than that of Emperor Kangxi. She immediately said, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. I don't know what happened today, but my appetite is very good. I'm not hungry, I just want to eat a bite."
"It's okay for Your Majesty to eat some light dishes. You don't have to worry about indigestion."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "That's fine too."
Wenjiu simply switched things up and took out some turnips that he had grown from the space, roasted them on the fire rack, and after they were cooked, he brushed them with sauce and gave them to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother ate three or four more bunches of vegetables, then touched her stomach and said, "That's enough. I won't eat any more. If I eat any more, it will be too much."
Thirteen heard this and immediately ordered, "Then take the food away."
The three men coaxed the Queen Mother to play cards for a long time. As it was getting dark, the Queen Mother began to yawn and then stood up to say goodbye.
Nanny Fang sent the others away, and when she returned, she smiled and said to the Empress Dowager, "When the two gentlemen and Miss Wen left just now, they were discussing that they would come to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager early tomorrow morning, and they would also bring you your favorite iron plate vermicelli today."
