Chapter 553 Emperor Kangxi: What did you just do?
"If it's not the wet nurse's fault, then whose fault is it? Could it be that my little grandson is crying for no reason?"
Emperor Kangxi still had some patience with his grandson, but he was very cold and stern towards his son.
The sound got louder, and he noticed that his grandson in his arms seemed to be crying even harder. Emperor Kangxi immediately coaxed him in a soft voice: "Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry. If you have any grievances, tell the Queen Mother!"
Fourth Master: “…” If the youngest son really spoke out about his grievances, it would be a big disaster.
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, why don't you give the child to me?"
"Fourth Master, please stop talking nonsense. This isn't the wet nurse's problem, could it be the Emperor's? My nephew clearly loves being around the Emperor." The Third Master rolled his eyes at the Fourth Master and said with a smile, "Isn't what I said correct, Emperor?"
Emperor Kangxi glared at the Third Master fiercely, then glanced at the Fourth Master: "All of you, get out of the way! I have so many sons, and I can't even coax them well, how can you? Your sullen face scares the children!"
"Fourth child, your royal father is very experienced in coaxing children. Fourteenth child used to cry all the time, but he stopped crying when he saw your royal father." Concubine De watched from the side and comforted him.
Fourth Master: "...Mother, the child is crying for a reason. Please let your son take him back..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the child's crying stopped abruptly.
Emperor Kangxi took one look and immediately smiled: "Hey, you like Huang Mafa's ring, right? Here it is for you."
Seeing the little thing staring at his ring, Emperor Kangxi laughed even more heartily: "Hey, this kid, he really has good taste. After all the fuss, he finally fell in love with my ring. As soon as my ring moved, he stopped crying."
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Concubine De turned pale with fear after hearing this. "How can this be possible? This is the ring you've worn for decades."
In fact, Concubine De knew that His Majesty loved these children. In the past two days, His Majesty had been free and had been staying in his own palace. He would always talk about children in the morning and evening.
But Concubine De never expected that Emperor Kangxi would be willing to give the ring directly to the child.
In his early years, Fourteenth Prince was naughty and would play with his finger ring while Emperor Kangxi was sleeping. When the Emperor caught him, he was severely beaten and even starved.
Among all his sons, the emperor doted on Fourteenth the most, but he never said to give the throne directly to Fourteenth.
Having served by his side for many years, Concubine De knew that the Emperor had to carry everything with him every day, and it had become a habit for him to think twice before doing anything.
"Whatever I say is okay." Emperor Kangxi simply sat down, held the child in one hand, took off the ring and stuffed it into the swaddling clothes.
Now all the ministers began to exchange glances, and even the way they looked at the Fourth Master changed a little.
What does the Emperor mean by this? He's never treated the Crown Prince this way.
The prince pursed his lips and subconsciously looked towards his fourth brother.
Prince Zhi was also looking at the Fourth Master at this moment. Unlike his usual indifference, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
The Fourth Master, however, was in no mood to pay attention to the outside world. He glanced at his youngest son's already somewhat stunned eyes, then slapped himself on the forehead: "It's over."
Emperor Kangxi finally managed to coax his grandson into a good mood, but then he saw the Fourth Master's bitter and resentful expression and immediately frowned: "What's over? Who are you showing this bitter face to?"
He looked as if he was going to scold him severely if the Fourth Master didn't explain the reason.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the Fourth Master finally said silently, "Father Emperor, don't you smell anything strange?"
Emperor Kangxi was stunned and sniffed subconsciously: "What...smell?"
De Fei reacted instantly: "Ouch, it's on the child, wet nurse! Quick, quick, quick!"
Emperor Kangxi still wanted to ask: "Child...what's wrong?"
Fourth Master: "Father, the child peed."
As the Fourth Master spoke, he took the child from Emperor Kangxi's arms.
He took a look at his royal father and saw that his royal father's dragon robe was still clean. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the diapers made from wine are very useful. Otherwise, if the emperor had been soaked in it today, it would have been a disaster.
In fact, what he just said were all nice things. If he had just peed, the kid wouldn't have cried for so long.
The Fourth Master carried the child and placed him in the stroller that Jiuer had prepared early.
She quickly untied his blanket, cleaned the child's body, and took out a new diaper from the side of the car.
The Fourth Master's actions stunned Emperor Kangxi: "Fourth Master, what are you doing?"
Although Emperor Kangxi had been a father many times, this was the first time he had seen such a thing. After all, no matter how many children he had, he was still an emperor.
The concubines and servants in the harem would never allow him to see such a scene.
It's just like the Fourth Master, who had two children but didn't know that children would urinate on people.
Every time the wet nurses brought the children to these male masters, they would always clean them up carefully, not wanting them to see even the slightest bit of dirt.
At this moment, the Fourth Master spread out his clothes to change the diaper. This really shocked Emperor Kangxi.
The Fourth Master didn't care much and just casually said, "Change the baby's diaper."
It was getting late. If I took the child downstairs, I would have to change his diaper again. By the time I got back, the water in the basin would have gotten cold. If I had to do it all over again, I was afraid I would miss the auspicious time. It would be very troublesome.
Fortunately, the little stroller Jiu'er had made was tall enough to protect his son's privacy. After quickly changing the diaper, the Fourth Master went to wash his hands.
After he had packed up, he turned around and realized that everyone around him was staring at him without blinking.
The Fourth Master frowned slightly and said sternly, "Father Emperor, it's getting late. How about we get started?"
Emperor Kangxi stared at the Fourth Master for a long time: "...What did you just do..."
Fourth Master: "...Change the diaper."
Didn’t he just answer it once?
A faint, strange smell lingered in the air, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Emperor Kangxi, along with the other princes and ministers, stared blankly at the Fourth Master, not knowing what to say for a long time.
In the end, it was Emperor Kangxi who reacted first. The vein on his forehead jumped twice, and his tone was three parts curious, three parts surprised, three parts angry, and one part unbelievable as he said, "I mean, why do you change diapers!!!"
