Chapter 531 Emperor Kangxi: So Handsome
The Fourth Master silently reminded him, "Father, you're still cold, and the child is still young. How about you wait a moment? Or maybe change your clothes?"
As he spoke, the Fourth Master brought over the wash basin from the copper basin stand in the outer room: "Father Emperor, please wash your hands."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned and frowned.
The princes around were stunned.
Tong Guowei took a breath of cold air.
Goodness, the Fourth Master is really getting bolder and bolder. Could it be that he is taking advantage of the fact that the Emperor likes him so much that he speaks so bluntly?
The emperor wanted to see the child, which was a great blessing, but they stopped him and made him change his clothes and wash his hands.
At that moment, Tong Guowei subconsciously looked at Emperor Kangxi's expression, secretly hoping that Emperor Kangxi would be in a better mood today and not get angry.
Unexpectedly, after Emperor Kangxi pondered for a while, he suddenly slapped himself on the forehead.
"Oh? I forgot, I forgot about it." Without closing his smile, he washed his hands in the Fourth Master's basin, and simply took off his cloak and threw it to Liang Jiugong beside him.
He was still muttering, "You guys around here didn't even warn me. What should I do if they bring coldness to my grandchildren?"
As he spoke, he pointed at everyone and said, "You all wash up, uncle, you too."
He waved his hand and ordered outside: "Get a few more basins of water, and make sure everyone is clean before going in."
The Fourth Master was genuinely stunned by his royal father's actions.
He had already prepared himself to be scolded by the Emperor, but who would have thought that the Emperor would actually stand on his side and watch others wash their hands very strictly.
The Fourth Master looked at it and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The princes beside him also had puzzled expressions, obviously shocked by the appearance of Emperor Kangxi.
When they were younger, they had never seen the emperor so attentive! As soon as his grandson came, he became spoiled and couldn't stand even the slightest whisper?
The Third Master still remembered that when he was still a child, when Little Fourteen was just born, the Empress Dowager had urged Emperor Kangxi not to pick up Little Fourteen every time he entered the house, fearing that he might bring in illness from outside.
The emperor even argued at the time, how could his son be afraid of such a little cool breeze?
But now, his sons are not afraid, but his grandsons are!
Emperor Kangxi watched carefully as everyone took off their cloaks and washed their hands. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Follow me in. When we get inside, keep your voices down so as not to scare the children."
His gaze swept through the crowd around him, finally landing on Prince Zhi. He frowned and said, "Your beard is scary. Stay a little further away."
Prince Zhi silently glanced at his father's beard, which was thicker than his own, and after a while he said, "...Yes."
"Greetings to the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess. Greetings to all my brothers."
Inside the room, the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master saluted everyone with their fists clasped.
Emperor Kangxi glanced at them in confusion. "No wonder I didn't see you two boys today. Yuanshi came here at this hour. How long have you been here? You're so impatient! Don't hurt your nephew!"
When the Ninth Master heard this, he immediately said with a feeling of grievance, "Father, we love our nephews so much, how could they be injured?"
Then he said with a smile: "You'd better come and see the child. I see that he looks very much like you."
Emperor Kangxi smiled noncommittally and said, "It would be great if it really looked like that."
Whenever a new baby is born in the royal family, people always say that the child looks like them.
The child who looks like me hasn’t been born yet!
Kangxi also hoped to have a son who looked somewhat like him, but there were very few such sons.
It’s not that these princes don’t look like me, but most of them look more like the ones born to their mothers.
Fourteen is only slightly more like me, but it's hard to tell unless you look closely.
Not to mention the grandsons, the sons don’t even look like him, so it would be a miracle if the grandsons look like him!
"That's right, Father Huang, Xiaowu looks exactly like you."
The Tenth Master also said so.
Hearing him say this, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and subconsciously took a few quick steps inside to check on the child.
After looking over here, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Xiaowu...is he the third one?"
Her eyes unconsciously fell on the Fifth Prince.
The Fourth Master was about to step forward to reply, but the Ninth Master jumped in and cheerfully explained, "Father, that's right. The slightly paler one is the Third Prince, the first born. This one is the Fourth Prince, the second born. The youngest one is the last."
"Hey, this little guy's eyebrows and eyes are really somewhat similar to mine?" Emperor Kangxi couldn't help showing some surprise and looked at the child closer.
Just when he was surprised, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the youngest Sixth Prince next to him, and his brows immediately frowned.
"This child...why is he so tiny?"
Emperor Kangxi's scorching joy was instantly dashed with a bucket of cold water. His face turned pale.
This child looks not even as long as his palm, and his arm is as long as his thumb. How should he raise him?
He immediately frowned and asked, "Where is Doctor Liu?"
Doctor Liu had been guarding the room the whole time. He had never left since the birth of the child. Upon hearing this, he immediately came forward with shaking beard.
Emperor Kangxi: "How are the princes doing?"
Over the years, Emperor Kangxi had so many children who died that they could not be counted on one hand, and most of them were very small when they were born.
But even so, for a kid as young as Xiaoliu, it was the first time he saw it.
He had some guesses in his mind, and his expression suddenly became even uglier.
Doctor Liu said, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. The little prince seemed unwell when he was born, but he is fine now. He was feeding well and sleeping well earlier this month. Although he is a little weak, he is not sick."
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then relaxed a little. However, when he looked at the child carefully again, he still felt shocked.
"Will I not grow taller in the future?"
This is really too small...
Doctor Liu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Concubine Wen is pregnant with her fourth child, so naturally the little princes are not as big as ordinary babies.
But she is still in good health. This is probably because Concubine was in good health during her pregnancy. She took excellent care of herself. If there was any mistake, she wouldn't be so blessed."
"The child is in good health. He just woke up and kept kicking his legs. His little hands and feet are full of energy." Jiu Ye explained with a smile, and then said, "Father, look, your son didn't lie to you, did he? Xiao Wu does look a bit like you."
Emperor Kangxi looked at the face next to him that looked very similar to him, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "This child is so handsome..."
