Chapter 640: Lively Cining Palace
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Jiu'er understands."
The Fourth Master was stunned: "Jiu'er, are you unhappy?"
Wenjiu blinked: "Should I be unhappy?"
Seeing the Fourth Master pursing his lips, Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Master, Jiu'er doesn't think you are partial. Our sons are still young, aren't they? Besides, Master is right. It's not appropriate for them to meet others in their current situation."
The Fourth Master was stunned and couldn't recover for a while. In the past, the women around him would be unhappy because of this matter. Li had quarreled with him more than once because she felt that he was biased towards Honghui. Even the Lady was unhappy because she often went to accompany Honghui in the past.
Jiu'er, why is she comforting him? The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment and subconsciously bit Wenjiu's fair and tender face...
Why is his wine so popular?
Wenjiu, who was bitten again: "......"
What a sin, the Fourth Master is definitely a dog!
As for the Fourth Master, there was no time to delay, so he packed up and had breakfast quickly, then went to the front yard to pick up the Eldest Prince to go out together.
When I went out, I saw the carriage ready from a distance.
As soon as he got on the carriage, the Fourth Master was stunned for a moment.
Various small fruits and a few cute little cakes had already been placed on the carriage table, and the sweet aroma instantly filled the air.
Seeing the Fourth Master looking at him, Su Peisheng, who was outside the carriage, immediately replied with a smile, "Master, it was sent by Miss Shanzha, who works for the Concubine. She said that the Concubine had specially asked for it."
The Fourth Master was stunned. Jiuer didn't say who it was for, but the thing in front of him spoke for itself.
Obviously, Honghui couldn't help but look at the food. However, he was a bit reserved, and even though he was greedy, he didn't want to touch it.
The Fourth Master patted his son's head and said, "Eat if you want. I saw you reciting your lessons this morning. Did you miss breakfast?"
Honghui immediately clenched his fists and said respectfully, "In reply to Father, I haven't eaten yet. Thank you... Father."
After all, there is no child who doesn't like beautiful little cakes. Even though the eldest prince was holding back all the way, he still ate a little faster than usual.
"Thank you, Father." Honghui's eyes lit up a little, but he resisted the urge to eat the second one.
The Fourth Master looked at him and took out another small fruit box and gave it to him: "Try it, it's okay to eat more. If you like it later, Ama will ask Aunt Wen to bring you some more."
Honghui was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Father, I see this snack all the time. I'm always being taken care of by Qingliang Pavilion, so there's no need to bother Aunt Wen anymore."
In fact, he often saw such snacks, and although he was greedy, he couldn't eat them.
As long as food had anything to do with Qingliang Pavilion, his wet nurse would always tell him he couldn't eat it. His mother would often secretly call him over, telling him to stay as far away from Qingliang Pavilion as possible. She would also tell him to study hard, avenge his mother, and surpass his younger brothers in Qingliang Pavilion.
He also said that none of the people in Qingliang Pavilion were good people and they all wanted to harm him.
However, when Honghui thought of Concubine Wen's pretty face and her graceful talk about vixen, he would always hesitate.
When Honghui saw the dim sum today, he knew it was from Qingliang Pavilion. Normally, he shouldn't eat it. But with his father in front of him, he couldn't help but want to know what it tasted like.
It was sweeter than I imagined. Somehow, I felt inexplicably happy.
When the Fourth Master heard this, he was also stunned for a moment. He looked at his son again and couldn't help but sigh.
Jiu'er had actually been secretly watching over Honghui the entire time, just like the food he was eating today.
He was a grown man, but he never thought that even Honghui's wet nurse was a close friend of Ulanara, and she only knew how to persuade Honghui to study all day long. How could she consider such a trivial matter?
Sometimes the Fourth Master couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened if Honghui had been born in Jiuer's belly?
In a trance, the Fourth Master shook his head, becoming more and more confused.
He then touched his son's head and asked about his health recently.
The father and son didn't say a few words along the way. The main reason was that the Fourth Master was a very boring person, and Honghui was someone who could go a whole day without saying a word. Fortunately, the road was not far, and they arrived at the palace soon.
The Fourth Master did not go to court first, but turned around and sent the eldest prince to Yonghe Palace first.
Concubine De had been waiting here early, and when she saw her grandson, her mouth almost stretched to her ears.
After exchanging a few polite words with the Fourth Master, he took the eldest prince into the palace.
The Fourth Master followed everyone to court as usual. After court, he followed his royal father to the Empress Dowager's palace in a grand procession.
The Cining Palace was exceptionally lively today, with almost all the younger generations coming here.
Of the two little princesses in the Prince of Zhi's mansion, the third princess was too young and was not brought over.
Prince Hongxi and Prince Hongjin who served the Crown Prince, as well as the eldest princess born to the Crown Princess.
The third master’s legitimate son Hongqing and his second legitimate son Hongsheng, who was only two years old.
The Fourth Master only brought Honghui with him.
The Fifth Master has a legitimate son, Hongsheng, and a one-year-old daughter.
The Seventh Master brought the eldest princess and eldest prince with him.
The Eighth Master was quite alone today, but he brought the young master from Prince An's Mansion with him.
The ninth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and other princesses of the same generation as them, the whole room was now filled.
The older ones are in their teens and twenties, and the younger ones are less than a year old. It is extremely lively at this time.
When the Queen Mother saw so many people coming to her, her mouth never stopped talking and she kept on muttering to herself.
"Grandfather, my great-great-grandson Hongxi has brought you a gift."
Hong Xi glanced at the crown prince and said with a smile, "I heard from my father that you, the old ancestor, are not feeling well today. Hong Xi remembered that there is a hundred-year-old ginseng in my private storehouse and wanted to give it to you to nourish your body."
"Oh, Hongxi already has a small treasury? Are you willing to give it to the ancestor?" The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Hongxi's appearance was somewhat similar to the crown prince's, and his temperament was also extremely gentle. Although he was only seven years old, he already had the appearance of a modest young man. He smiled and said, "Hongxi is willing to give away everything, even if it means giving it all to the ancestor."
The Queen Mother laughed even more heartily after hearing this: "But no, your private treasury was not easy to come by. Later, the ancestor will fill two more pieces for me, Hongxi."
Hongxi shook his head seriously and said, "Grandfather, my father said that as long as Hongxi hunts prey, he can give Hongxi a gift. When Hongxi wins more, he will give them all to Grandfather."
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this: "Hongxi is so amazing? He's only seven years old and he can already hunt on his own?"
Hongxi smiled slightly. "Father said that the Qing Dynasty was conquered by force. We, the descendants, must never forget our ancestors' teachings. If nothing else, we must learn to shoot a bow and arrow."
"Hongxi said it well!" The Queen Mother clapped Hongxi's hands and said, "Good boy."
Then, he pointed at the prince and said with a smile: "According to my filial piety, Baocheng, your storehouse is now in my hands, isn't it?"
The prince shook his head and laughed for a moment: "If that's the case, then my grandson's life will be hard. From now on, I will have to come to my grandfather's place every day to eat and drink for free."
These words made the Queen Mother laugh again.
He stretched out his hand and nodded, then scolded with a smile: "You guys are always good at making me happy."
The Queen Mother was delighted, and now almost everyone's attention was focused on the Prince.
The Crown Prince was very intelligent even in his childhood, and his second son, Hongxi, also seemed extremely intelligent. Look, the old ancestor was so happy just now. Then, his gaze shifted subtly to the other young princes, sizing up who was more intelligent.
Above, the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at everyone, and finally, her gaze fell on the Fourth Master.
"Hey? Fourth brother, why didn't you bring the quadruplets here?"
