Chapter 504 Don’t Joke Me
Wen Jiu suddenly heard the Fourth Master talking about this and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Looking closely at the Fourth Master's head, I found that the color of the heart on his head seemed to have stagnated.
What does this mean?
Could it be a fatal question?
Seeing her pursed lips and silent expression, the Fourth Master frowned slightly. Is this little girl trying to weigh the pros and cons? The Fourth Master's expression turned grim, his narrow and long phoenix eyes staring straight at the warm wine, but he remained silent.
Wen Jiu looked at the sky above his head, which was sometimes clear and full of hearts, and sometimes covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. He was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. Generally, it is better to watch quietly at this time.
Even Xiao Jin came out of the space and looked at the Fourth Master with a nervous look on his face. He couldn't help but remind Wen Jiu, "Master, the young masters are still growing on the Emperor's Heart Tree, and they can't withstand a few storms. You'd better take it easy."
Wen Jiu glanced at the unpredictable Fourth Master and finally decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
The Fourth Master waited for a long time, but did not hear Wen Jiu's reply. Finally, he frowned and said, "Whatever you want, I will give it to you, even if you don't ask for it."
After hesitating for a while, he added, "Then the position of Consort is within easy reach."
As he spoke, the Fourth Master reached into his arms, intending to take out the imperial edict and show it to her carefully. He also wanted to tell her that even if she didn't ask for these things, he would give them to her. She just needed to live a stable and happy life and never be like others.
When he touched the empty chest, the Fourth Master was stunned for a moment. Then he remembered that he had accidentally dropped the imperial edict there when he was changing clothes in the front yard.
Wen Jiu suddenly heard the Fourth Master mention this and blinked twice in surprise: "Concubine?"
The Fourth Master nodded: "Yes, I have asked for permission for you."
The Fourth Master had been holding these words in for a whole day and finally said them out loud.
To be honest, I just wanted to make her happy at the beginning, and now I also want to make my attitude clear to her. Even if she doesn't fight for it, she will definitely not miss out on what she deserves.
Wen Jiu was stunned for a while, then he laughed: "Stop joking, sir."
Everyone knows their own life experience, and the position of concubine is extremely rare nowadays. Most of them are princes and nobles. There are even many concubines whose family background is not worse than that of the main wife.
Take the history that she was familiar with, for example. Emperor Yongzheng's famous favorite concubine, Nian, came from a prominent family. Looking at all the women in Yongzheng's harem, none of them could compare to her.
Wen Jiu knew that no one in her family was worthy of such a position. To be honest, she was now a concubine and could not even reach the level of a princess.
Although she was pregnant, the child had not been born yet. How could Emperor Kangxi allow her to be a concubine at this time?
The Fourth Master brought this up now, could it be that he wanted to paint her a rosy picture?
In her previous life, her boss also said every day that earning a million dollars a year was not a dream...
After taking a closer look at the Fourth Master, Wen Jiu felt that these big bosses really had a good mind for painting a rosy picture for others. He immediately responded with a smile and said, "I will continue to work hard and strive to sit on the position of the legitimate wife in the near future."
The Fourth Master frowned when he heard him joking, and now when he heard her mention the legitimate wife, his face became stern.
"How dare you!" The Fourth Master said coldly, "How can the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children be reversed? If you dare to speak without thinking again, I will... will..."
For a long time, Fourth Grandpa couldn't think of how to deal with the royal family. He shook his sleeves and turned his head away from the warm wine.
Wen Jiu tugged at the Fourth Master's clothes and came over to say, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier, is he? If possible, who would want to be the lowest-ranking concubine? Besides, Jiu'er was just joking. How could she really become the legitimate wife? I promise I won't say that again. Don't be angry, Master."
The Fourth Master sighed softly, then flicked her forehead. "Your words can easily lead to disaster, especially outside. Never say such things again." Although the Manchus didn't hold legitimate and illegitimate children in high regard, she had been in exile for many years. What if someone else got hold of her words and used them to accuse her of seducing the master and alienating the couple?
If this situation really got to the Emperor, he wouldn't be sure if he could save the little girl.
In fact, the purpose of warming the wine was to test the bottom line of the Fourth Master. Seeing that he was not very happy at the moment, he naturally stopped talking and rubbed him with a smile: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I promise not to make the same mistake again in the future."
Wen Jiu thought that she couldn't expect any promotion now, and would probably be frustrated for a while. However, she had laid a good foundation. If the Li and Ulanara families wanted to make a move on her, they would probably think twice.
Besides, the Fourth Master will eventually ascend the throne. Although she is a nobody now, she is also a potential stock in the future. She naturally dares not dream of the position of Queen, and the position of Imperial Concubine seems too high, but she should still be able to reach the position of a concubine if she works hard.
"Master, let's think about saving more lives. The Fourth Master still has more than twenty years until he ascends the throne. We must at least ensure we survive until that day..."
Warming wine: "..."
Why does this kid keep saying such humiliating things all day long?
The fourth master felt a little itchy as the soft little face of Wen Jiu rubbed against his palm. He subconsciously wanted to take his hand back, but in the end he couldn't bear to do so. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinch his little face.
In fact, after she said that, the Fourth Master's heart was slightly moved.
If she had been the first wife...
With a snap, the Fourth Master suddenly slapped himself. Was he really going crazy?
Deposing the legitimate wife and enthroning a concubine as the heir, favoring the concubine and neglecting the wife, this is a taboo and must not be tolerated!
Besides, when would he decide who would be the wife of the emperor? The choice of the right person was entirely up to the emperor.
"Master, what's wrong?" Wenjiu was startled and blinked twice at the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment. "I will send you the imperial edict for the appointment of you as Consort tomorrow. Once the two children in your belly are born, the edict can be announced."
"Haha, sir, please don't joke around. If you say that again, I'll take it seriously," Wen Jiu said with a smile.
The Fourth Master could not help but frown now: "You don't believe what I say?"
Wenjiu smiled silently without saying anything, thinking to himself, of course I don’t believe it. Do I need a fake certificate to make such a big promise?
Now, even if Wenjiu was beaten to death, he would not believe that Emperor Kangxi would really promote a concubine to the title of concubine.
It is not the Fourth Master who has the final say on this concubine; it is the Emperor who has the final say.
