Chapter 536: The Fourth Master: My son can raise his own children.
The Eighth Master then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the children were all sent to the front yard shortly after they were born. Most of them are looked after by the wet nurse, so Fourth Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much about it. The teachers in the front yard will take care of the discipline. If Fourth Sister-in-law raises him, our little nephew will also be a legitimate child, which is a good thing."
"The wet nurse is taking care of him, so it's better to leave him with his biological mother." said the Fourth Master.
Emperor Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at the fourth child. It was the fourth child who was taken away to the Tongjia Imperial Concubine when he was young...
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Master continued, "It's not good for the children to get too close to their mother. A loving mother is often a failure..."
"Okay," Emperor Kangxi suddenly frowned and interrupted the Eighth Master: "The child is still young, let's talk about it later."
The Fourth Master glanced at Emperor Kangxi, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied, "Yes."
Emperor Kangxi then strode out quickly.
The Eighth Master was still a little reluctant behind him, but he endured it again and again. He took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, the quadruplets are a blessing. They are very close to you, and you like them very much. Why don't you bring them directly to the palace? I think they will be more intelligent if they are raised by you."
It’s better to keep her in the palace than in front of Fourth Brother!
Emperor Kangxi was a little impatient at first, but after hearing what the Eighth Master said, he couldn't help but have some thoughts.
"I'm here to teach you?"
It would be a pleasure to have a few beautiful little babies to raise...
"Royal Father!" The Fourth Master noticed that his Royal Father was somewhat moved and immediately frowned: "My son can still support his own children."
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, his eyes widened. "Do you think I'm willing to let you raise the child? I'm just worried that you won't raise him well and end up making him look sad all day like you."
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment: "My son was also raised by the Emperor."
Emperor Kangxi: "...that's because you are not up to the task."
"If the Emperor takes the child back, the best thing he can do is raise him to look like the second and eldest brothers.
If it's any worse, and you act like the Ninth and Tenth Brothers all day long, would the Emperor be willing to see it?"
Prince: ...Is this a compliment?
Prince Zhi: ...Just think of it as a compliment to yourself.
Jiu Ye: ...I have never been so speechless in my life.
Shi Ye: ...I am offended.
Other princes: ...Although it seems a little strange, it somehow makes sense.
Emperor Kangxi was furious when he heard this. He glanced at the Crown Prince and Prince Zhi beside him, and then at the ninth and tenth sons. He wanted to point out a son to make him proud, but the most promising one at the moment was the fourth son, who was standing there choking and arguing with him!
Then he angrily said, "Do you think I love to help you take care of your son?"
Then he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Tong Guowei behind him immediately followed with his head lowered.
The princes behind him were stunned for a few seconds and looked at each other in confusion.
The Fourth Master's cold gaze fell on the Eighth Master, and without a care in the world, he said, "See you at the training ground."
The Eighth Master looked at the Fourth Master's bowl-sized fist, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine. However, when he met the Fourth Master's eyes, he refused to show any fear, and said with his neck stiff, "Come on, who's afraid of who?"
The Fourth Master nodded: "Good, very good! You have backbone."
Then he turned and left.
The Prince of Zhi behind him glanced at Lao Ba, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "You are brave enough to touch the tiger's butt." After that, he left.
When Ninth Master passed by, he also clasped his fists towards Eighth Master and said, "Your courage is commendable."
The Tenth Master passed by and said, "That's commendable."
Thirteenth Master: "...Take care."
Fourteenth Master: “…Hahaha…Silly mynah bird.” After saying this he ran away.
Eighth Master: “…”
I still don't believe it. No matter how powerful that fourth brother is, how powerful can he be? He's not much older than me, we practiced martial arts together, so why am I inferior? This time, I'm not fighting for the bread, I'm fighting for my dignity!
A few days later, when the Eighth Master was beaten black and blue and unable to get out of bed, he thought about the cause and effect of the day and felt a little remorse. But that's all later, so let's not talk about it for now.
Besides, after the Fourth Master sent a few people away, he immediately went to guard the warm wine.
After all this commotion, it was getting a little dark.
The candles in the room were lit, flickering.
The Fourth Master wrung out a clean towel and helped Wenjiu wipe her delicate hands. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were several faint scars on her hands.
I think it was because the pain during childbirth was too great, and in a hurry the nails dug into the flesh, leaving scars.
The Fourth Master pursed his lips, recalling the little girl's childbirth during the day, and was still a little dazed.
He silently helped her treat the wound on her hand. The Fourth Master had no mind to eat dinner. He kicked off his shoes, got into the quilt, and held the girl in his arms.
Nanny Song, who was serving in the room, was shocked. She wanted to remind him, but she kept her mouth shut.
The delivery room was filled with the smell of blood, and it was not easy for the male master to come in. But the prince came in more than once, and he rushed in several times on the day of delivery.
Even Aunt Gui, who was the most knowledgeable about etiquette, didn't say anything, so it was best not to get involved. After all, it was the master who was worried about their concubine.
He immediately turned off two more lights, thinking that the girl and the prince could have a good rest, and then left the house.
The Fourth Master held onto the warm wine, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Jiu'er's belly had been so large earlier that he couldn't even hold it with one hand. Now that the belly was gone, he felt completely empty.
My mind kept turning over and over in my mind what Jiu'er looked like during the day. She lay helpless and weak beside the bed, calling out to me... Several children were born one after another...
The imperial physician also said that the youngest son might not survive...
Jiu'er, with a pale face, held the child tightly, refusing to let go...
Scenes jumped out from the bottom of his heart, and the Fourth Master's forehead was covered with cold sweat without him realizing it.
Subconsciously, I hugged Wenjiu tighter. Mother and child are safe... Mother and child are safe...
This was another sleepless night, so much so that the Fourth Master got up several times in the middle of the night to check on the children, and the servants also stayed awake all night.
The next morning, almost all the servants in Qingliang Pavilion had dark circles under their eyes.
I finally had a good sleep after drinking the warm wine. It felt like I hadn't had such a comfortable sleep for a long time.
When she woke up in the morning, she subconsciously touched her belly and was shocked. Suddenly she realized that she had given birth to a child. She stretched herself and cried out, "Someone, come and bring some food! Your master is starving and could eat a whole cow!"
The Fourth Master sat up in shock, and after coming to his senses, he squeezed the hand that was warming the wine, and then he let out a sigh: "Hungry? I'll go get someone to get you something to eat."
As he spoke, he turned over and got off the ground, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wen Jiu blinked blankly and muttered to himself, "Why isn't this gentleman in court at this hour?"
"Concubine, you are finally awake! I will ask Nanny Gui and the others to bring the princes to you for a look! The princes have grown up so well!" Liusu sat up with a smile on her face, holding the wine in her arms.
When the Hawthorns and Big Spoons around saw the Fourth Master coming out, they immediately came over with a smile.
Liusu continued, "Now, all the princesses in the mansion have come to pay their respects to you. The prince is worried about you and has asked you to wait outside. I will dress you up later."
