Chapter 52 The Emperor wants to reward Fourth Brother?
Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't show any sign of anger at all, the Fourteenth Master widened his eyes in shock. "Grandfather, are you not going to punish Fourth Brother?"
The Queen Mother patted Fourteen's hand with a distressed look on her face. "Don't worry, Fourteen. Your Fourth Brother is definitely doing this for your own good. If you follow him and learn horseback riding and archery for a while, you will definitely make some progress."
Fourteen blinked in confusion: "Grandfather, but Fourth Brother..."
"Oh, don't say but."
Fourteen's words were rebuffed by the Queen Mother, who then ordered the servants behind her, "Go get a needle, and I'll prick open that blood blister for you. This imperial physician is so slow, he hasn't arrived in such a while."
When Fourteen saw that Jiang Ran was going to destroy her evidence, she immediately retracted her hand, took two steps back, clasped her fists and said, "Grandfather, you are busy. Fourteen will come to see you later."
Having said this, he ran out of the Cining Palace in a flash, shocking all the palace servants.
The Queen Mother slowly brought the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Go to the storehouse and pick out some good tea and send it to the fourth son."
Fourteenth also turned around and ran towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
If the ancestors don’t stand on his side, does he have no other options?
Entering the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Fourteenth took a deep breath: "Royal Father! Royal Father! Yinzhen has missed you so much. Finally, I am still alive to see you!"
Xiao Quanzi, the personal eunuch beside the Fourteenth Master, staggered and almost fell.
Oh, Fourteenth Master, can't you just say it another way?
Do you know that this makes it seem like your complaint is nothing new?
Emperor Kangxi paused while flipping through the memorials and turned his head to look at his youngest son: "What's going on?"
Fourteenth immediately stepped forward to serve tea to Emperor Kangxi, and "carelessly" waved his hand in front of Emperor Kangxi, successfully making Kangxi notice the wound on his hand.
"How did you get injured like this? Who did you go out with again?" Emperor Kangxi frowned.
He was born with thick eyebrows and rough and tough facial features. He had an awe-inspiring look without even being angry, but when he frowned like this, it was terrifying.
The Fourteenth Master was not frightened at all. Instead, his eyes lit up. He sighed softly and said, "Today, I was at Fourth Brother's place. I wrote calligraphy for an hour, practiced horseback archery for nearly two hours, did horse stance for a long time, and memorized a long policy paper."
Seeing Emperor Kangxi's surprise, the Fourteenth Master pretended to be deep and coughed lightly, then said, "Although I am almost broken by my fourth brother's training, but, Father Huang, please don't punish my fourth brother.
Although he had a personal vendetta, and although he deliberately tortured his son and didn't even give him food...
However, he is still my son's brother, so even if you punish him, please don't punish him too harshly."
Emperor Kangxi glanced at his youngest son and suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Then tell me, what is the right punishment that is not too severe?"
Fourteen's eyes lit up even more: "Punish him by making him do horse stance for five or six hours, and then punish him by making him write big characters, and he has to write a thousand pieces!
Yes, I will also punish him by making him practice archery for five or six hours without stopping. I must make him as skilled as you..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands excitedly.
He was talking so excitedly that when he looked up, he put down the memorial in Emperor Kangxi's hand and leaned back in his chair to look at him.
"Why are you looking at your son like that?" The Fourteenth Master shrank his neck guiltily.
Emperor Kangxi nodded seriously, "Fourteenth is right."
The Fourteenth Master blinked in disbelief, and before he could say anything, he heard Emperor Kangxi say, "Although your fourth brother went too far by not giving you food, he really can't be punished.
Like you said, you have to consider your brotherhood."
The more Fourteen listened, the more he felt something was amiss. In the end, his brows were twisted so tightly that they could have pinched a fly to death. "Wait, Father Huang... are you not going to punish me..."
"Okay," Emperor Kangxi interrupted him, "I know even without you saying anything, do you want me to reward your fourth brother? Little Fourteen, you've grown up."
"No," the Fourteenth Master quickly shook his head: "No. No reward..."
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand again: "Don't be embarrassed, your fourth brother did the right thing and should be rewarded."
Emperor Kangxi stroked his beard and turned to Liang Jiugong behind him and said, "The fourth son prefers calligraphy and paintings. Go back and find a few for him in my storehouse. Let him take them back to court tomorrow."
Regardless of whether Fourteenth had finished speaking, Emperor Kangxi simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, Little Fourteen, go back. I have something important to attend to."
Looking at the bewildered Little Fourteen being dragged out of the Former Qing Palace, Emperor Kangxi took a sip from his teacup and suddenly curled his lips: "Little bastard, you're still playing tricks in front of your father. Finally, someone is taking care of you, right?"
Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside him, glanced at Emperor Kangxi's expression and lowered his head even more.
The emperor has been worried about state affairs these days and has been gloomy for several days.
Fourteenth Master has always been naughty. He thought that he would be in trouble today, but he didn't expect that he would actually make the emperor smile.
But it's true that the Fourteenth Master is really difficult to deal with on weekdays, and His Majesty is also a headache.
Now that he was beaten up by the Fourth Master and looked like he was in great pain, it was really... quite satisfying.
He felt relieved... His Majesty couldn't close his mouth.
I was thinking at that moment that I would go to the warehouse later and find a good piece of calligraphy for the Fourth Master.
As for Fourteenth Prince, before he could understand what was happening, he was sent out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity by Emperor Kangxi's servants.
He pointed at his nose and said, "Is this young master being driven out by the Emperor?"
The personal eunuch Xiao Quanzi nodded cautiously: "Probably."
The Fourteenth Master put his hands on his hips and looked at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. "The Emperor just said that he would reward Fourth Brother?"
Xiao Quanzi nodded again.
The Fourteenth Master was so angry that he pulled his hair out: "What kind of logic is this? He beat me up and didn't even give me food, so why am I asking for a reward from him?
In broad daylight, there's no place to reason!"
He became angrier as he spoke, pacing back and forth toward the palace gate with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Quanzi next to him whispered, "Master, why don't we just forget about it?"
Regarding today's matter, he felt that his young master didn't care at all.
The younger brother wanted to be his elder brother's concubine, which made him inferior to his elder brother in terms of momentum.
Furthermore, the injuries on the master's body were all caused accidentally, and the Fourth Master didn't even lift a finger to touch the master.
Discipline the master to practice martial arts, calligraphy, and policy writing, all of these things were approved, although the Fourth Master had always disagreed.
Furthermore, looking at the attitudes of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, one can tell that the master will not get any good results today.
"Is all his trouble for me in vain?" Fourteenth Master glared. "I absolutely can't let this go. If this gets out, how will my brothers view me? I must get back at him today!"
After turning around twice more, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Let's go! Back to Yonghe Palace."
