Chapter 653: About Climbing the Wall
After accepting the candied haws from the vendor, the Fourth Master threw him a piece of silver and then walked away.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The vendor was so happy that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears. He had just sold a whole basket of candied haws. Now, he sold a single candied haws for such a large sum of silver! It was more than the nearly 100 strings he had just sold!
As expected, people who are good-looking tend to be very generous!
The Fourth Master entered the mansion with a candied haws in his hand and headed straight for Qingliang Pavilion without stopping.
At the main door of Qingliang Pavilion, just as he was about to push the door open and enter the house, Liusu stopped him.
"Your Highness, ...the Concubine hasn't gotten up yet."
The Fourth Master couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "You haven't gotten up yet?"
Liusu took a deep breath. "Well, the concubine wants to sleep a little longer, and she told the servants not to go in and see. How about... you go over to the side and check on the young masters first?"
The Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "No need. I'll go and take a look." As he spoke, he pushed the door open.
Liusu was so frightened that she immediately followed him. Seeing the prince running towards the bed, she immediately covered her eyes and dared not look at him at all.
As the Fourth Master approached the bed, he sensed something was amiss and immediately narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"
The next second, the blade in the sleeve was instantly drawn out and placed directly on the neck of the person on the bed.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
The hawthorn on the bed trembled and crawled out, kneeling on the bed and kowtowed: "Your Majesty...I am your servant."
The Fourth Master took a good look at Shanzha's face, and then saw that she was wearing clothes that warmed the wine. He immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "Did Jiu'er ask you to dress like this? Where did she go?"
What's so hard to understand? The only possibility that could allow Jiu'er's two confidants to cover up for him is that Wenjiu did it himself.
What is this little girl doing?
Shanzha and Liusu looked at each other, then immediately knelt down side by side in an orderly manner, but kept silent.
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows. "Okay, very good. You won't tell me, right? Then don't tell me! Someone, pull out their tongues."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liushui and Shanzha's faces turned pale.
"Your Majesty, spare me. I'll tell you right away." Liusu bowed her head to the ground, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "The concubine just went out of the palace to do some things."
The Fourth Master's brow furrowed even tighter: "Leaving the house? What is she going out for?"
"Your Highness, this...this servants don't know either, but the concubine said she will be back soon."
When the Fourth Master heard this, he recalled the little girl's appearance and immediately laughed out of anger. He said, "Okay, tell me, where does she usually go? And how does she come back?
Liusu and Shanzha looked at each other and immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this servant really cannot say it."
…
Half a quarter of an hour later.
In the northwest corner of the Fourth Master's mansion, the Fourth Master was dressed in black and leaning leisurely on the armchair. If it weren't for the candied haws in his hand and his squinting eyes, the scene would still be very beautiful.
Behind them, Liusu and Shanzha were kneeling with their heads bowed. Dashao and Xiaodouzi were not spared either, and were now kneeling beside them.
Su Peisheng and the other two looked at each other in silence, with a strange look on their faces.
"Can the concubine climb over such a high wall?" Buyu couldn't help but ask.
"This wall should be more than three steps higher than the concubine's. Even if you have skills, it won't be easy. Maybe you need tools." Bu Yan said.
"Hey, are you looking down on the concubine? The concubine once saved our master single-handedly!" Su Peisheng said.
He was about to say something, but the next second, he saw the Fourth Master in front of him suddenly turn around.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Hearing the Fourth Master's cold voice, the three of them were so scared that they lowered their heads.
The master's face looks very bad. I'm afraid the concubine is in trouble today.
…
"A-choo!"
Wen Jiu rubbed his nose with his shoulder with great effort, and then threw the roast goose, two roast ducks and the package he had just bought on the road over his shoulder. He looked at Emperor Kangxi beside him with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, shall we go through the main gate?"
Emperor Kangxi squinted his eyes and glanced at Wen Jiu: "No need, just go in from here."
Wenjiu swallowed hard, "That...it's so high, how can I jump up there?"
Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes immediately: "Wenjiu, you are watching me, don't you know? You usually sneak out from here, right? Don't play tricks on me, hurry up and go."
Just when passing by here, Wenjiu's expression was a little strange. He looked at this place repeatedly several times. How could such a little trick be hidden from him?
However, Emperor Kangxi looked along the wall and searched for a long time but couldn't find the doghouse. For a moment, he was a little curious about how the warm wine came out.
Wenjiu swallowed hard and said, "Your Majesty, let's say goodbye..."
Emperor Kangxi glared and said, "Hurry up!"
Wenjiu blinked silently and finally let out a breath. Although there were a lot of things, she had already broken through the fourth level. This small height was very easy for her.
He pushed his feet forward and pushed against the wall twice to gain strength. The next second, he was sitting steadily on the wall.
He turned around and smiled rather embarrassedly at Emperor Kangxi and Liang Jiugong.
Emperor Kangxi blinked twice, then twice more, and after a long time he couldn't utter a word.
Liang Jiugong was also confused at this moment: "This... such a high wall, how did you climb up, Concubine?" He had seen women with good skills, and there were female guards in the palace, but he had never seen anyone with such good skills!
But she was a beautiful woman like Concubine Jin, who was born with a delicate figure. Could it be that Concubine Jin had some skills?
"...Maybe it's because I suffered a lot as a child, so I have more strength than others." Wen Jiu didn't know how to explain it to them, so he just vaguely said, "Your Majesty, the city wall is too high. Ordinary people can't climb it. Why don't you go through the main gate? I will go back and pack up and meet you at the main gate."
Liang Jiugong nodded after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, let's go through the main gate. This wall is too high."
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, he glared and said, "Is the wall high? Why don't I feel that?"
Are you kidding me? How could he, the supreme ruler, be outshined by a little girl? Did he lose face?
He walked up to it with a frown, took a deep breath, and imitated warming up wine. With his hands behind his back, he used the wall's support to try to climb up.
Unexpectedly, when it was about to hit the edge of the wall, it was still a little short and fell down again.
For a moment, the air seemed to stand still.
Emperor Kangxi's face turned pale in an instant.
Wen Jiu blinked and immediately smiled, "Your Majesty, please try this height. How does it feel? Is it possible to climb up?"
After asking this question, Wenjiu was also nervous. He thought that if he saw his embarrassing situation, he would be silenced, right?
