Chapter 524 Emperor Kangxi: Wen girl, do your best
The Fourth Master simply said, "Go ahead and collect your reward. Everyone who serves today will receive a reward!"
Su Peisheng immediately took out a large red purse and handed it to Li Dequan, saying, "Eunuch, please send someone to the Empress Dowager and the Virtuous Consort to convey their congratulations."
Li Dequan responded immediately and ran out with a smile on his face.
On the other side, the Fourth Master came to his senses after a trance and was about to go and check on the wine while holding the child. When he pushed open the door, he was blocked by Liusu.
"Where's the wine? How's it?"
It was hard to tell whether Liusu was laughing or crying when she dropped another bombshell, saying, "My Lord, the girl... is pregnant."
The Fourth Master was stunned by these words and couldn't recover for a long time.
It was Jiu Ye behind him who asked, "What did you say?"
The Tenth Master also swallowed hard and stared at Liusu.
Liusu was silent for a moment before replying, "In reply to your gentlemen, I'm pregnant. I'm really exhausted right now, so I'd like to take this opportunity to catch my breath. Your Majesty, could you please send some more soup?"
"Go quickly!" The Fourth Master came back to his senses from a trance and shouted suddenly.
Aunt Xie was startled. "Oh, Your Majesty, don't be so loud. I'm afraid the Fifth Prince will be frightened by you!"
As he spoke, he immediately took the child from the Fourth Master's hands, held him in his arms, patted him gently, and coaxed him a few times.
Looking closely, she found that the Fifth Prince was staring with his round eyes, and she didn't know what he was thinking. It was obvious that he didn't look scared at all. For a moment, Nanny Xie couldn't help but marvel at it.
The Fourth Master looked at his sons, then at the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master. Suddenly, he slapped himself on the forehead and said, "Jiu'er is telling the truth! There are really four of them!"
The people around here didn't know what the Fourth Master was talking about, but Doctor Liu understood what he meant.
It was truly miraculous that the girl was right. The funny thing was… he and his master had always believed that the girl was ill. Now it seemed that he and his master had thought too much…
…
Fast forward a bit, and Emperor Kangxi was being helped to dress by his servants. The servants dared not breathe, for the emperor before them was frowning and in a bad mood. They were terrified that the slightest mistake would cost them their lives.
Emperor Kangxi slept very poorly yesterday. The affairs of the court were already overwhelming him. Last afternoon he heard that the fourth prince's hair had moved, but there was no good news for a long time. How could he sleep?
Just when I was thinking of sending someone to ask, I saw the servant outside running in, with a happy face saying:
"Your Majesty is delighted. Miss Wen from the Fourth Prince's residence has given birth to a prince. Both mother and child are safe."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi smiled, but asked in confusion: "Didn't they say it was twins? Why is there only one?" As he said this, he couldn't help but frowned.
"In reply to Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the girl is pregnant with another child. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer."
Emperor Kangxi nodded and went to wash up, but he still couldn't calm down.
But the news of having a new baby is a happy one after all.
Although Emperor Kangxi didn't want to have breakfast, he still reluctantly sat at the table and ate two dumplings without any taste.
Before the meal was finished, another servant came running in.
"Your Majesty is overjoyed! Miss Wen has given birth to twins, both are princes. Both mother and child are safe!"
Emperor Kangxi immediately put down his chopsticks, said "good" several times in a row, stood up and turned around several times before saying, "Liang Jiugong, you immediately go to the storehouse to find some good things and send them to the fourth son and the other two. This little girl Wen is really capable of giving me two imperial grandchildren in one go."
Thinking of this, he paused, clapped his hands, and said, "Send someone to tell the Fourth Master to immediately read out the imperial edict conferring the title of Consort Ce, and give her more of the rewards in the treasury; it should be more generous than for an ordinary concubine!"
Liang Jiugong responded immediately.
Emperor Kangxi was a little impatient for a moment and said, "Go and bring the child in for me to see."
As soon as he said this, he waved his hand again: "No, no, the children are still young, and it's cold today, so we can't bother. So, you go and make preparations. After I leave court today, I will go to the Fourth Master's mansion to take a look."
Liang Jiugong immediately responded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are truly blessed. This is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a century! I can't wait to run over and see how handsome the two little princes are."
"You old thing, how could you not see it when you follow me out?" Emperor Kangxi scolded with a smile, and then said, "This appearance, there is no mistake! The fourth child is born with a good appearance, and you know the appearance of that girl Wen. How many people in the whole capital can compare to her? It would be strange if the children they give birth to were not good-looking!"
He couldn't help but smile and ate two more buns, then walked out the door with his hands behind his back: "Let's go to court!"
When Liang Jiugong saw the Emperor's appearance, he couldn't help but look a little puzzled.
This is the first time I know that the Emperor also hums little tunes.
I have to say that I really have to thank Miss Wen this time. His Majesty has been in a bad mood for several days, and the people serving him have been walking on thin ice all day long. Now the clouds have finally cleared and there is light.
In fact, Liang Jiugong was not the only one who felt this way. Even the ministers in the court looked at each other in confusion when they saw the cheerful Emperor Kangxi.
There have been a lot of things going on these days, and the people are complaining. The emperor has not been able to eat for the past two days and has a sad face all day long. Everyone has been trembling with fear while doing their work recently, for fear of making the slightest mistake.
Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly smiled happily. No one knew what was wrong with His Majesty.
Emperor Kangxi, seeing the expressions of the ministers, simply coughed twice and said, "I know you want to ask why the Fourth Prince didn't come to court, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers below looked at each other and subconsciously looked towards the Fourth Master.
Although everyone knew that the Fourth Master wasn't here today, who dared to ask His Majesty in the court? What did His Majesty mean by this? The ministers were confused for a moment.
Emperor Kangxi's smile remained undimmed as he continued, "Fourth Brother, you've quietly given me two more grandchildren. I've granted him leave today, so he won't be attending court. Don't stare at him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court was stunned for a moment.
Is the Emperor trying to...show off?
The ministers in the front looked at each other for a moment, then clasped their fists in understanding and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on having two grandchildren."
