Chapter 643 Emperor Kangxi: He did it on purpose.
"No!" The Fourth Master subconsciously straightened his body and shouted immediately.
His sons made rapid progress yesterday. The Fourth Master felt very nervous when he saw their little appearance and their fluent speech, but he must not let the Emperor see them.
Seeing Emperor Kangxi looking over with a frown, the Fourth Master's expression subconsciously tensed. He cleared his throat and said, "Father, isn't the border issue still settled? I'm afraid we need to discuss the transportation of military rations. I just saw an urgent report coming back from the border. I'm sure Father is busy today..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said, "There's nothing happening at the border. I've already read the urgent report. It's fine."
As he spoke, he was about to stand up.
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then immediately added, "Father Emperor, that won't do. Aren't we still dealing with the locust plague? I just saw Master Tong Jia standing before you. Could the locust plague be causing trouble?"
Emperor Kangxi subconsciously frowned and looked at his son: "The locust plague is not serious this time, why are you talking about a difficult situation? There is nothing to discuss, so don't worry about it."
Just as he was about to leave, he found that the Fourth Master was blocking his way again.
Emperor Kangxi glared at him and said, "Fourth Brother, what on earth are you going to do?"
The Fourth Master looked at his Royal Father, swallowed his saliva, and suddenly said, "Royal Father, do you still remember the packet of seeds Liu Yu gave you earlier? Speaking of which, we should be harvesting the second crop in the greenhouse now. I haven't seen you for a long time. This seed thing can't be delayed..."
Speaking of this, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but frown slightly.
I have been very busy recently and have no time to look at the seeds.
He glanced at the Fourth Master again and said, "In that case, I will go and take a look at the seeds with you first. I'll go to your house later."
The Fourth Master choked, and seeing that his Royal Father was not in a good mood, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"How is Honghui's schoolwork these days?" Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but ask on the way.
The Fourth Master said, "Father, Honghui has been doing well in her studies lately. This child has been very diligent in her studies since she was young. I have noticed that she is already completing her university studies."
Emperor Kangxi nodded upon hearing this and said, "Good progress. Honghui has been intelligent since he was young, but you need to control his temper a little. This child is usually too reserved. Take him out more often to meet other people when you have free time."
When the Fourth Master heard this, he nodded in agreement.
As they were talking, Emperor Kangxi and the Fourth Master had already walked into the greenhouse that Emperor Kangxi used specifically to grow rice.
After a careful observation, he asked the craftsman to bring the recent growth records and looked through them carefully.
Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "Yes, if this trend continues this year, it will be a blessing for the Qing Dynasty."
The Fourth Master also had a smile on his face. The wheat was really growing so well.
Emperor Kangxi did not stay with the Fourth Master for long, and immediately took the Fourth Master out.
As soon as he entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong beside him, "Go and find me some casual clothes."
Speaking of which, Honghui's personality has already been established, and it is indeed difficult to change it.
But Emperor Kangxi was still concerned about his other grandchildren. They were only seven or eight months old, still young, but he couldn't let the fourth child become like him.
Emperor Kangxi felt that he would not be able to rest easy if he didn't go and take a look.
"Your Majesty, this... are you really going?" The Fourth Master couldn't help but ask again.
Emperor Kangxi rolled his eyes at him fiercely. "Why? I can't come to your house? You've been making excuses today. Why exactly? Is there something shameful going on in your house?"
Emperor Kangxi's face was filled with suspicion as he spoke: "What? Have you taken in someone new? Could it be that he's taken in a prostitute like your third brother did?"
Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi's face suddenly turned ugly.
Thinking about it carefully, I heard someone report a few days ago that whenever the fourth brother went out, a group of women would throw sachets at him.
There are not many servants in the Fourth Master's house now, so it is possible that he has some thoughts on this.
Well, no wonder she has been putting on makeup recently. Is it because of this?
"Father, how could that be?" The Fourth Master was at a loss for words. "...I have never been to a place of entertainment, so how could I possibly keep a prostitute?"
The Fourth Master took a deep breath and explained, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to entertain the Emperor well enough. Besides, the Emperor hasn't even been to my eldest and third brothers' houses, but he's been to mine a few times. Although I'm happy for him, I'm also worried that my other brothers might be upset."
Having said this, he glanced at Emperor Kangxi again.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi curled his lips and said bluntly, "Do you think I'm going to your house just to see you? You always have such a sullen face, do you think I want to see you? I'm going to see my grandchildren! If your eldest and third brothers are also capable of giving birth to some big fat boys, I'll go too!"
Then, Emperor Kangxi ignored the Fourth Master and went into the room to change his clothes.
The Fourth Master really didn't know how to refuse at this moment.
I was just wondering in my heart, I don't know if they will understand if I tell them not to talk to the emperor...
Yesterday, Dabao was able to teach himself to read, so...it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Just when he was considering whether to ask Su Peisheng to go back and give Jiu'er a few words of advice, he suddenly saw the commander of the imperial guards rushing in from outside.
"Meet the prince."
He immediately bowed to the Fourth Master, then turned and said to Li Dequan, "Please tell Eunuch Li to go in and tell him that there's another urgent report coming from the border. Please inform the Emperor."
Li Dequan naturally did not dare to delay and immediately trotted into the inner room.
Emperor Kangxi came out of the house not long after. His buttons were still undone. It was obvious that he hadn't had time to tidy them up when he heard the urgent news from the border. He just walked out the door and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Lord Fucha." The commander of the imperial guards immediately handed over the letter with both hands.
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi put aside the Fourth Master's affairs and immediately said, "Bring it to me and let me see it."
Emperor Kangxi couldn't even wait for Liang Jiugong to get it, so he took two steps forward, took the letter, and quickly opened it to read.
After reading it quickly, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Good! Good! Good!" Emperor Kangxi said "good" three times in a row, and couldn't help but patted the table with a smile: "What a good Fucha Sabsu, he was really sent to Ningguta for a party back then. In Heilongjiang, a place as cold as bitter cold, he really grew sweet potatoes, and the yield was excellent.
Not only did it solve some of the local military food problems, it also encouraged the locals to plant sweet potatoes, and they say the harvest this year is excellent. "Great, great!"
