Chapter 641 Are all royal children evil?
The Fourth Master didn't expect the Imperial Grandmother to notice him so quickly, but he wasn't panicked. He had already known this question would come, so he just smiled and said, "Imperial Grandmother, the children are still young, and there are too many of them. I was worried that they would disturb you, so I didn't bring them here for the time being."
"Why would I complain about the noise? You're just overthinking it. Next time you have some free time, be sure to bring the kids in. Speaking of which, I haven't seen them in a while."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master said, "When the children are a little older, I will definitely bring them here to pay my respects to the Imperial Grandmother. By then, I'll be grateful to you for your help."
The Queen Mother laughed as she listened. "I'm willing to take the trouble. Honghui looks in good spirits today. Is he feeling better?"
Honghui, who was standing beside him, heard the Queen Mother's words and immediately replied with his fists clenched: "Ancestor, Honghui is well now. Thank you for your concern!"
After the words were spoken, the empress dowager nodded with a smile, and Honghui was silent for a long time.
The Third Master's eyes rolled around at this moment, and he reached out and tapped Hongqing on the forehead: "Son, go."
Hongqing glanced at his father, then let go of the Third Master's hand and ran to the Queen Mother with a small box: "Grandfather, Hongqing also has a gift for you."
The Queen Mother smiled again when she heard this: "What does Hongqing want to give to the ancestor?"
"Grandfather, please wait a moment." Hongqing had a round face and looked just like the Third Master. Not only was she fair and tender, but she also had a small dimple at the corner of her mouth when she smiled. She was even prettier than Hongxi, like a little porcelain doll. Speaking in a childish voice, she presented the small box in front of him and said, "Grandfather, this is a gift. It's a painting by Hongqing, and I'm giving it to you."
"Has our Hongqing also started to like calligraphy and painting? In this respect, he is similar to your father."
Hong Qing then struggled to open his own painting and said, "Grandfather, look, is this beauty beautiful?"
When the old ancestor heard this, he just smiled and touched Hongqing's head: "It looks good, it looks good. The old ancestor likes it very much."
Hongqing turned around at the right time and shouted, "Father, look, my son said that the person in this painting looks very similar to our ancestor. We're sure our ancestor would like it very much if he saw it."
The moment these words came out, the Queen Mother burst into laughter. "How can I compare to the beauty in the painting? You, child, are just like your father, always good at coaxing people."
Hong Qing just shook his head at the moment: "Grandfather, I'm not kidding, Hong Qing thinks you must have been more beautiful than the person in this painting when you were young."
These words made the Queen Mother even happier. She hugged him and kissed him twice, feeling extremely fond of him.
When the third master saw that his son was liked by the ancestor, his chin immediately raised.
He looked at his brothers and sisters with a smug look, and finally his eyes fell on the Fourth Master and he raised his eyebrows.
"How's it going, Fourth Brother? Isn't my son smart?"
The Fourth Master nodded silently: "Nephew Hongqing is smart, just like the Third Brother."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of the Third Master's mouth widened. He patted the Fourth Master on the shoulder and said, "Fourth Master, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You are good at other things, but you are a little bit lacking when it comes to educating children."
The Fourth Master subconsciously looked down and saw that Honghui's lips were tightly pursed. This child has been very sensitive since he was young, and he must be upset after hearing these words.
The Fourth Master didn't know what to say, so he just patted his head soothingly and said, "Don't you think Honghui also has a gift for the old ancestor? Go ahead, Ama is waiting for you here. Don't be nervous."
Honghui looked at the Third Master, then at the Fourth Master, and finally lowered his head, took the box and went to the front.
Seeing his own son, the Fourth Master couldn't help but feel nervous and stared at him subconsciously.
Honghui was a man of few words, and after hearing what his uncle said, he felt even more bewildered. He handed the box to the empress dowager, clasped her hands, and said, "Grandpa, Honghui has brought you a gift as well. I hope you are in good health."
Then, he stood there, feeling somewhat bewildered. Even his nervous breathing became a little rapid.
The Queen Mother still gently touched Honghui's head and asked: "What did Honghui give you?"
Honghui said silently: "To answer the old ancestor's words, it is a picture of longevity."
"Okay, thank you Honghui. Don't be restrained, go play with your father." The Queen Mother also noticed that the child was very nervous in front of him, so she patted his hands and let him go back. She smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, don't restrain the children, let them play."
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but frown as he watched Honghui pass by a group of children, but he kept his head down and said nothing. He just stood obediently in front of the fourth child, looking a bit dull.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but turn his gaze to the other children and examine his grandchildren.
At this moment, the children of the fifth and seventh brothers also came forward to pay their respects to the ancestor.
These guys are all little smart guys. Now they are saying auspicious words, making the old ancestor laugh.
Even the youngest one, the one from Seventh Master's family, who was only two years old, was having fun talking at this moment. He kept saying auspicious words to the ancestor, which made everyone laugh.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but nodded. Overall, it looked good.
On this day, the one who took the lead was Hongqing from the third master's family.
Although Hongxi from the Crown Prince's family is calm, he is not as good at coaxing people as Hongqing from the Third Master's family.
The Third Master was so proud at this moment that he coughed lightly and went to the Fourth Master again: "Fourth Master, if it were me, you should bring your quadruplets over next time. My second son is young too, so they will definitely be able to play together."
The Third Master was secretly thinking that his eldest son had already surpassed Honghui, and there was no one in the room who failed to praise his eldest son.
But comparing his eldest son with the four younger ones in the fourth son's house felt a bit embarrassing.
It would be better to compare the youngest son with the fourth son’s quadruplets.
When he goes out later, others will say that Hongxu is more powerful than the four lucky stars.
When he thought of that time, the Third Master smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.
He coughed twice and calmed down, then said with a feigned humility, "Hey, Old Four, you don't know, this kid is too smart, but sometimes he's also very tired.
"Anda said a few days ago that Hongqing had memorized the Three Character Classic. And now, we're about to start studying the Disciple Rules. That little brain of his is smarter than mine. If he gets any older, won't I be unable to teach him? Oh, this is really frustrating."
Fourth Master: “…”
