Chapter 491: I can appoint two concubines as my wives.
Jiu Ye: “…”
I discovered another ability of my third brother, which is the ability to find a way out for himself. He is truly unique among all the princes.
Furthermore, he wanted to make a small suggestion. Could you please not arrest people like me who were just watching the fun with their shoulders crossed next time?
It just... feels a bit fake.
The Fourth Master was speechless for a moment. He was too lazy to pay attention to the three of them and was secretly thinking about how to get the imperial edict from the Emperor.
The few of them were chatting happily, and the prince next to them looked at them with a slight movement of his eyes, but in the end he didn't say a word.
The Fifth Master glanced at everyone, then glanced at his fourth brother. A complex look flashed across his eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The Seventh Master was genuinely happy for the Fourth Master. He had always been close to the Fourth Master, and at this moment, there was joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
The Eighth Master had a gloomy face, and anyone who looked at him would know that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.
Twelve and Fourteen were whispering to each other as if they were talking about going to the Fourth Master's house for dinner. It was obvious that the two little ones thought it was something fun.
The Thirteenth Master was not at peace in his heart.
Thirteenth Master had not expected that Fourth Brother would be granted the title of Prince of a County so quickly. You know, Fourth Brother was promoted to the title of Baylor just last year.
In his previous life, Fourth Brother was not a prince, but was directly granted the title of Prince Yong when the Emperor conferred the title of prince in the 48th year. At that time, Fourth Brother was not the only one to be granted the title of prince.
Although, he came back to life just to assist his fourth brother.
But the amount he had done to help Fourth Brother was actually minimal. Since he had started over again, many things had quietly changed. Even Thirteen knew clearly that this change was not because of him.
This is also true today.
At this time in his previous life, Fourth Brother had been devastated for quite some time after returning from his southern tour. Yet, today, Fourth Brother received an imperial decree granting him a unique honor from the Emperor. What an honor!
Whenever the Emperor bestowed titles upon his princes, he would bestow them upon several of the same age, rarely favoring one over another.
It is unprecedented to award a title to a single person in this way.
In the past, Thirteenth Master always thought that the Emperor did not like Fourth Brother very much. After all, the Emperor was unfair to Fourth Brother in many things.
Even in his previous life, the Emperor seemed to be more strict with Fourth Brother than with others.
After living his life again, Thirteen finally saw clearly that sometimes being strict is precisely because of having high hopes?
The Emperor was very strict with my second brother in the past, but he seems to have become more and more gentle in recent years.
Thirteen looked at the prince calmly, only to see that the prince lowered his brows and smiled faintly, and seemed no different from before.
Thirteen couldn't help but sigh as he watched. Second brother... he was also a miserable person...
"Fourth brother, are you going back home? Let me take you there."
Jiu Ye suddenly said.
He and the Tenth Master pushed each other, and finally the Ninth Master came forward and spoke to the Fourth Master with a smile on his face.
The Fourth Master turned his head and looked over: "No need."
Jiu Ye immediately trotted over to Si Ye, rubbed his hands and said, "Fourth Brother, let me go back with you. I want to see Fourth Sister-in-law. I have some important business matters to discuss with her."
The Fourth Master still frowned and said nothing, so the Ninth Master added, "It's time to give some money to the Fourth Sister-in-law."
The Fourth Master paused and glanced at the Ninth Master: "Let's go."
Jiu Ye: “……?”
"Really?"
The Fourth Master frowned, but before he could say anything, Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside Emperor Kangxi, came trotting over and saluted. "Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you."
The Fourth Master nodded, then turned back to glance at the Ninth Master and said, "Wait for me to come out and take you back with me."
After saying this, the Fourth Master hurried to the Palace of Heavenly Purity with Liang Jiugong.
Ninth Master blinked, looked at Tenth Master beside him with some disbelief, and said, "Fourth Brother agreed so soon?"
Master Shi nodded blankly: "Yes, the sun rose from the west today?"
As he was speaking, Jiu Ye slapped him on the back of the head again.
The Tenth Master was so angry that he just stared blankly: "Ninth Brother, what are you doing? Can you please stop hitting people all the time?"
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Fourth brother has agreed, why are we waiting here for him? The important thing is to go find Fourth Sister-in-law as soon as possible!" With that, he strode away.
The tenth master came to his senses and hurriedly followed.
Fourteen's eyes rolled and he immediately shouted, "Nineth Brother, Tenth Brother, wait for me, let's go together!"
Thirteen's eyes moved slightly, and he followed.
The Third Master took out a fan from somewhere, snapped it shut, and shouted, "Wait a minute, Master! I want to go too!"
The Prince of Zhi wanted to go together, but he also wanted to go home to see his wife, so he finally shouted: "Hey, if there is anything delicious, send someone to tell me."
When I shouted, the guys in front had already disappeared, and no one responded.
Prince Zhi felt inexplicably at a loss. If he didn't go, he would definitely be left out. Those guys would only remember that he had seen a ghost when they were eating!
He wanted to chase after him immediately, but after taking two steps, he noticed Lao Ba with a gloomy face blocking his way.
Prince Zhi met the Eighth Master's eyes and, for some reason, felt a little guilty. He coughed lightly and said, "Well, I agreed to go back to the mansion with my eighth brother to drink together. Big brother will naturally not forget. Let's go."
Whenever the Eighth Master saw his eldest brother and fourth brother getting close, he would get furious.
He and his eldest brother have worked hard over the years to play witty games with his second and fourth brothers, but in the end, his eldest brother and fourth brother became friends?
How can this be true?
Finally, he said, "Brother, please feel free to do as you please," and then walked away with a sullen face.
Prince Zhi had gotten used to listening to his brother over the years, and seeing that Eighth Master was angry, he felt a little guilty and immediately caught up with him: "Old Eighth Master, wait for me."
Soon, the prince was the only one left at the entrance of the hall.
There was no expression on Prince Qingjun's face. His dark and cold eyes fell lightly on the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Your Highness, should we prepare a gift for the Fourth Master?" asked the young eunuch.
The prince withdrew his gaze and suddenly said, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the fourth brother has become a prince."
The young eunuch nodded and said, "Your Highness, you are right. The Fourth Master's achievements today are all thanks to you, Your Highness."
The prince suddenly smiled and said, "I remember I got a half-human-high fertility-giving Guanyin statue a while ago. Let's give it to the fourth brother."
The eunuch laughed when he heard this, "The two princes in the Fourth Master's house are not in good health. I heard that one of his concubines is pregnant with twins. Your Highness, I think the Fourth Master will be happy to receive this Guanyin."
After hearing this, the prince shook his head, not knowing whether to agree or not. He looked towards the Qianqing Palace again and remained silent for a long time.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Kangxi and the Fourth Master stared at each other for quite a while.
Liang Jiugong stood guard beside him, wishing he could bury his head in the ground. He secretly missed his two old friends who had been sent away. If they were here at this moment, they could help him share some of the burden and he wouldn't have to bear such a huge pressure alone.
"Fourth Master, who are you showing such a stern face to? Did I give you the wrong title?" Emperor Kangxi couldn't stand wasting time with the Fourth Master after all, so he glared at him and cursed.
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment, then presented the imperial edict with both hands: "Father Your Majesty, I am now a prince and can appoint two concubines."
