Chapter 594 Priceless
The Fourth Master turned his head and looked over: "You say."
The eldest prince looked at the wet nurse beside him and said, "Wet nurse, please go down first."
The Fourth Master waved his hand and simply sent all the servants around him out.
Soon, only the father and son were left in the room. Then the eldest prince whispered, "Father, Concubine Wen...is she a good person?"
The Fourth Master was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at his son: "Why do you ask that?"
Honghui said, "My son is confused."
Everyone seemed to have a different opinion about her. He wanted to know what Amma thought.
The Fourth Master had just returned from Ulanara's place, and not a single word he heard made him feel comfortable. Naturally, he also knew that Ulanara would not say anything nice to her son about wine.
The people his son interacted with on a daily basis were all close to the Ulanara clan. He had chosen his own son's father-in-law, but seeing that his father-in-law was also summoned for questioning by the Ulanara clan every day, he was afraid that if this continued, the child would be raised astray.
The Fourth Master couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw his son looking at him anxiously.
Honghui was his eldest son, and he had high hopes for him. However, due to his health and the fact that his wife was too strict with him, the Fourth Master didn't want to burden him further and wouldn't be too strict with his studies. Although he lacked talent, he was diligent and hardworking, and his studies were always good. However, his courage was too timid.
Now Honghui is five years old. At this age, his second brother's eldest son Hongxi would talk freely even when he saw the emperor. Whenever Honghui saw outsiders, he would retreat and even stutter when he was nervous. The fourth master didn't dislike his son, but if this temper was not trained, it would be a disaster.
However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. Now he said very seriously: "Honghui, she is a very good person and very important to me."
After hearing this, Honghui couldn't help but be stunned again: "Father, I understand."
A-ma is the person he admires the most, so what A-ma said should not be wrong, but why does E-ma hate her so much?
Honghui didn't ask the question after all. He stood up and said, "Father, can I go see mother?"
As he spoke, he coughed violently twice, causing the Fourth Master to frown: "What's wrong? Is the cough coming back?"
After Honghui finally stopped talking, he shook his head and said, "My son is fine. He's used to it."
Fourth Master: "Rest today. Tomorrow I will allow you to visit your mother."
Honghui wanted to go see his mother now, but he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he nodded in the end.
The Fourth Master asked him to lie down and rest, and then sat for a while before going out.
"How is the eldest prince?"
The Fourth Master saw the doctor from the Liu Mansion guarding the door and asked.
"In reply to your Highness, the eldest prince was weak and now he was frightened. This time he was in danger, but fortunately the medicine arrived in time, and now he is temporarily out of danger. But..." Doctor Liu's brows were still tightly furrowed, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.
The eldest prince was born weak, so it is a miracle that he can grow up to this age. How can he dare to say anything about the future?
The Fourth Master's thin lips moved slightly, but he said nothing in the end. He only said, "Take good care of him. I also got a snow lotus from the Western Regions and will send it to you."
Upon hearing this, the doctor at the Liu Mansion beamed with joy: "Great, Master, you've found the Western Region Snow Lotus! The eldest prince only has three days' worth of medicine left. This one plant of yours will solve his immediate problem. Once the medicine is prepared, it will last another two months. However, after two months..."
"I know." The Fourth Master said, "Just use the medicine. I will find a way. It won't stop."
Liu Mansion Doctor: "Yes."
At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh. The eldest prince was not in good health and had to use this Western Region Snow Lotus to prolong his life. The Western Region Snow Lotus was extremely rare, not seen in decades, and each one was priceless. The master had spent countless thoughts and money on this Western Region Snow Lotus.
However, in recent years, even if there is silver, there is nothing to be found. This thing is born on the top of the snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it, and the weather is even more unpredictable. The snow lotus that the Fourth Master has obtained in the past two years is extremely small, and he can barely maintain it.
Now, seeing that the medicine to prolong the eldest prince's life was running out, fortunately, the prince brought back the medicine at this critical moment. In this way, the eldest prince's condition can at least be stabilized for a period of time.
The Fourth Master was far from as relaxed as he said. He turned around and went to his study, summoning a few close advisors to discuss the matter for half an hour. The news he received was that none of the Western Region Snow Lotuses were available.
Fourth Master: "Increase the stakes and expand the area of acquisition of snow lotus. We must recover it at all costs."
"Yes." The host beside him clasped his fists in response, and the Fourth Master immediately sent the man away. He kept frowning on his face all the way back.
"Is your master asleep?"
At the door of the warm wine, the Fourth Master looked at Liusu and asked.
Liusu: "Your Highness, after the master returned from the eldest prince's place, he went to the younger princes' warm room and hasn't come out yet."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master turned around and headed towards the warm room.
There was only a dim candlelight in the warm room, the light was faint and carried a hint of hazy warmth.
The Fourth Master smelled the familiar fragrance, and his tense nerves unconsciously relaxed a little. He did not go into the house directly, but went to the basin to wash his hands first.
The rule set by Jiuer is that no matter when you come back from outside, you must wash your hands before looking at the children.
After drying his hands, the Fourth Master lifted the curtain and went into the inner room.
“Ah! Ah!”
When Dabao saw his father coming, he immediately stretched out his little hand excitedly.
The Fourth Master looked over carefully and saw Jiu'er lying flat on the big bed, with Erbao lying beside her. The mother and daughter were sleeping soundly.
Sanbao and Sibao seemed to have been kicked under their feet, but they seemed to be sleeping very soundly. Sibao was even holding the calf to warm the wine.
Only Dabao was awake. He had been playing with Jiuer's hair. Now he was holding a small bunch of hair and talking to him with a smile.
The Fourth Master came over, freed Wenjiu's hair from Dabao's hands, and picked Dabao up again.
“Ah! Ah!”
"Shh," the Fourth Master put his finger to his lips and said hush.
Dabao didn't understand what was going on, so he imitated his father and made a "whoa" sound.
The fourth master looked at his adorable appearance and finally smiled, patted his head, and played with him for a while. After coaxing Dabao to sleep, he left the nurse here to watch over him while he went back to rest with the warm wine.
Wenjiu was busy working in the space with Xiaojin at this time, and was sweating all over.
"Master, please be careful. These medicinal herbs are very precious. How can you put them in a sack?" Xiao Jin said with a bit of regret.
Wen Jiu pulled out the last two large silver, glowing snow lotuses and threw them directly into the sack. He wiped the sweat from his head and sat down on the ground. "What's so precious about them? They've already filled five sacks. How can I have so many boxes to put things in?"
Little Jinjin was so angry that she glared at her: "If you don't have it, go buy some. You have to put it in a box to seal in the medicinal properties. This is the snow lotus from the Western Regions, it's priceless!"
Wen Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Priceless?"
