Chapter 493: The Fourth Brother is Not Allowed to Ignore Her
Liang Jiugong was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. Not only did His Majesty give him two longevity locks today, but now he wanted to give him a thousand taels of gold!
The key point is that this girl is just a lowly concubine.
The speed of her promotion is no less than that of the concubines in the harem.
She was about to become a concubine, jumping up several levels, and she was pregnant with two grandchildren. As soon as the children were born, her status would be even more stable.
Oh, even other legitimate wives don’t have this honor!
Fortunately, he had been serving His Majesty for many years and had developed some ability to remain calm in the face of praise or criticism. Although he was surprised, he did not show it. He immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, I will go right away."
Liang Jiugong pondered in his heart, thinking of a way to send a message to the two old friends. These two people are still working for Miss Wen, so it is better not to offend Miss Wen.
…
As for the Fourth Master, he came out of the Qianqing Palace and went straight to the Cining Palace.
"Grandson greets the Imperial Grandmother."
When the Queen Mother saw him, her eyes moistened a little. She stood up and helped him up, patted the Fourth Master on the shoulder and said, "You are finally awake, my child. I can now put my mind at ease."
The Fourth Master supported the Empress Dowager and said, "Don't worry, Grandmother. It's my grandson who's not feeling well. He's a little tired, so he's been sleeping for several days. Look, isn't he fine now?"
The Queen Mother took a careful look at the Fourth Master, and then nodded: "Good, good, good, you are indeed stronger now."
As he spoke, his face suddenly drooped again: "Your Royal Father is really annoying. How come there is no one else around? He makes you so busy that you don't even have time to rest. Never work yourself to death like this again. If your Royal Father still orders you around like before, come and tell me."
"Don't worry, Grandmother, your grandson is in good health."
The Queen Mother patted the Fourth Master's hand and said, "If you feel any grievances, tell me. I will support you."
The Queen Mother knew her grandson's temperament somewhat. He was the kind of man who would swallow his anger and bear it with all his heart. The child who cried got candy, but this fourth child was the one who refused to speak out, and the Queen Mother often failed to see through him.
The Fourth Master vaguely recalled the disappointed look on the face of the Empress Dowager in his dream, and then he looked at the kind face of the Empress Dowager now. The two faces merged and the Fourth Master was stunned for a moment.
The Queen Mother, on the other hand, was still smiling and said, "Why did you bring so much food again? We haven't finished the last batch. Is this all made by Miss Wen?"
"That's exactly what the Empress Dowager said," the Fourth Master replied.
Speaking of warming the wine, the Queen Mother smiled. "Although Miss Wen's status is low, you must not neglect her. She's a good child. When the rebels attacked, it was she who saved me. Later, even when we were safe, she was worried about you and came to find you despite being pregnant. She was the one who took care of you during the time you were unconscious. Fourth Brother, when we judge people, we can't just look at their status. The most important thing for someone by your side is to be close to them. Do you understand?"
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Grandmother is right, I understand."
The Empress Dowager nodded, then pushed a small box towards the Fourth Master, saying, "These are the pearl jewelry I wore when I was young. Now that I'm older, I can't wear them anymore. Take them back to Wen. She's pregnant now, so she doesn't need to come to the palace to express her gratitude. I'll have a good talk with her once she's given birth."
The Queen Mother still remembers clearly the scene where Wen Jiu stood in front of her.
The empress dowager couldn't help but feel a little distressed for such a good girl.
The fourth child never worries too much about women's affairs.
The Queen Mother thought that if she could pay more attention to Wen Yatou, the Fourth Prince would probably treat her more seriously.
I can talk to the Emperor about this later. Once this girl gives birth, her position should be changed. It would be unfair to the child to be a concubine.
The Fourth Master never expected that the Empress Dowager would say such a thing, and his expression was a little puzzled.
"Well, I'm relieved to see you now. Go to Yonghe Palace quickly. Your mother must be thinking about you now. Go and see her."
When the Fourth Master was urged by the Empress Dowager to leave Yonghe Palace, he was still a little dazed.
Looking at the box of jewelry in his hand that belonged to the Empress Dowager when she was young, the Fourth Master couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. This little girl actually bribed the Empress Dowager?
…
In Yonghe Palace, Aunt Wen, with a face full of joy, pulled aside the curtain and walked into the room to reply: "Your Majesty, the prince is here! He has naturally entered the main gate by now."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Concubine De immediately stood up and went to greet him. After taking two steps, she paused for a moment, thinking about something else, and returned to her original place to sit down.
However, I still couldn't help but look towards the door with anticipation.
"Your son greets you, Mother. I have been in a coma for these days and have caused you worry."
"Get up quickly. How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? What did the imperial physician say?" Defei couldn't help herself. After helping the Fourth Master up, she looked him up and down carefully.
The Fourth Master repeated his previous remarks to Concubine De.
De Fei nodded after hearing this, and seeing that the Fourth Master was indeed more energetic, she said, "It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened."
Then, the mother and son sat down, and no one spoke for a while.
Aunt Wen, who was standing nearby, watched the situation unfold. She immediately brought a cup of tea over, placed it in front of the Fourth Master, and said with a smile, "Her Majesty has been nagging about the Prince all day, and even asked me to brew this Rainforest Longjing tea. Your Majesty, please try it. Is it to your liking?"
The Fourth Master passed by the teacup and took a sip: "Thank you, mother. It tastes very good."
De Fei nodded and said, "You are now a prince. The emperor values you, so you should do your job even better."
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Mother. I will remember them.
After Defei said this, she couldn't help but regret it. Her child had just recovered from a serious illness, so why did she say all this?
He frowned for a long time, not knowing what to say to the Fourth Master.
"Mother, I have some good news to tell you."
After hearing what the Fourth Master said, Concubine De turned her head and looked over: "What good news?"
The Fourth Master simply said, "The Imperial Physician said Jiu'er is pregnant with twins."
When Concubine De heard the Fourth Master talking about warming the wine, she relaxed a little and said with a smile, "That girl is very lucky. If you give her two little princes in the future, your house will be very lively."
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "It's fine with two little princesses, my son loves them all."
If he gave birth to a little girl as soft and sweet as Jiu'er, the Fourth Master thought, even if she wanted the stars and the moon, he would get them for her.
