Chapter 686 There’s something wrong with the Emperor!
"puff……"
The Tenth Master couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The next second, Jiu Ye covered her mouth.
The Tenth Master was glared at by the Ninth Master, and then he noticed that his brothers were also looking at him, so he immediately lowered his head.
The princes fell into an eerie silence once again, clearly confused as to why the Fourth Prince had suddenly echoed the Eighth Prince's words. Even the Crown Prince looked perplexed.
The Eighth Master was even more confused at this moment, and looked at the Fourth Master several times with a look of suspicion on his face.
What’s wrong with Fourth Brother today?
He actually agrees with me?
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Li Dequan happened to trot over and said, "Hey, Fourth Prince, you haven't left yet? What a coincidence! The Emperor sent you over."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master nodded to everyone as a greeting, then turned around and followed them into the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The other masters outside couldn't see the Fourth Master anymore, so the Third Master frowned and looked at the Eighth Master: "Old Eighth Master, didn't you say you knew the Fourth Young Master? Introduce him to me, I want to meet him and see what he's capable of."
The Eighth Master was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course you can, but Third Brother will have to wait a little longer."
The Eighth Master thought about it and decided to ask his guards to contact the Fourth Young Master Luo later.
As a grandfather, it must be very easy for him to contact an ordinary citizen. I can just introduce him to my third brother when the time comes.
"Okay, let's make it a deal." The Third Master nodded enthusiastically at this moment.
He turned around and immediately started jogging.
Fourteen looked puzzled and said, "Third brother, you are going in the wrong direction."
The Third Master waved his hand and said, "I'm going to the Imperial Hospital."
The Third Master thought about finding some ointment that could make people whiter and tenderer. He couldn't let himself be outdone by that pretty boy.
…
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Kangxi sat at a low table on his bed, his hand subconsciously fiddling with his tape measure. He stroked his beard, solved the arithmetic assignment his tutor had given him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked up and saw the Fourth Master, he dropped the things in his hand and pointed to the side: "The Fourth Master is here? Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Fourth Master found a chair and sat down, then waited respectfully for Emperor Kangxi's next words.
"Yesterday, Wang Daoyuan and the other two came over to report that you did a good job. The Shen family's money has also arrived."
How could Emperor Kangxi not be happy when he got one million taels of silver for nothing?
Seeing my son with a cold face today, I feel that he looks a lot better.
The Fourth Master clasped his fists in silence and said, "Jiu'er also contributed. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have seen the head of the Shen family. The two adults did a good job in the previous task, and it went smoothly afterwards."
Emperor Kangxi did not make any exception to the Fourth Master's answer. He just nodded and said, "Miss Wen is quite capable."
The Fourth Master couldn't help but nod: "The Emperor is wise."
Emperor Kangxi: "...Can't you be more humble?"
Fourth Master: "What the Emperor said is true."
Emperor Kangxi: “…”
He immediately rolled his eyes at the Fourth Master and said, "It's almost the end of the year, so let Wenjiu and the children stay in the palace for a couple of days. The Empress Dowager is always thinking about her, so you can stay in the East Third Residence."
The Fourth Master was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "Father, the children are still young. Besides, Jiu'er is in charge of all the affairs of the mansion, and she is indispensable even for a day."
"It's just the last two days of the new year. What's so important that you can't leave it behind? The child is not a small child anymore. I will ask Concubine De to clear out your Dongsanso later."
The Fourth Master wanted to say something, but Emperor Kangxi made the final decision: "It's settled."
The Fourth Master couldn't persuade Emperor Kangxi, so he finally clasped his fists and replied, "Yes."
My son is one year old now and speaks more fluently, which is not too unusual.
The two days before the New Year are not too long.
By then, he and Jiuer will just take better care of it.
"Well, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi sent some crabs over a couple of days ago. They're rare at this time of year. You can take some back with you."
After Emperor Kangxi finished speaking, he stretched his muscles and picked up his pen again.
Just as he was about to start writing, he looked up and found that his fourth son was looking at him strangely.
Emperor Kangxi frowned and asked, "Anything else?"
The Fourth Master immediately shook his head and said, "I'll take my leave."
The Emperor was really puzzled. Could it be that he called him over today just to tell him to let Jiu'er and the child stay in the palace for two days?
The Fourth Master felt increasingly unpredictable about the Emperor's thoughts. This reward was no exception; he was often asked to take something back. In the past, no matter how well he performed his duties, this wouldn't have happened. Something was truly amiss.
"Fourth brother! You're out so soon?"
The Fourth Master had just walked out of the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity when he saw the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master running towards him, looking eagerly at him.
"What's up?"
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master exchanged a glance. In the end, it was the Ninth Master who spoke first, saying with a smile, "Fourth Brother, we just wanted to wait for you for a while. It's been a while since we brothers had a good chat, right? Haha."
The Ninth Master laughed dryly and then nudged the Tenth Master with his elbow.
The Tenth Master immediately came back to his senses and nodded rapidly: "Yes, yes."
The Fourth Master glanced at them both inexplicably: "The Ministry of Revenue still has official documents."
"Then don't delay any longer, Fourth Brother, let's go to the Ministry of Revenue."
The Ninth Master was even more active than the Fourth Master. He followed the Fourth Master to the Ministry of Revenue with a smile on his face.
Then the two of them seemed to have their eyes fixed on the Fourth Master.
You pushed me, I pushed you, and no one spoke first.
The Fourth Master naturally noticed their behavior, but he was too lazy to care about them and just went about his own business.
I finished almost all the documents in one breath, and when I looked up again, it was already noon.
The Fourth Master stretched his body and stretched his muscles before looking up. He found that his two younger brothers were still staring at him without blinking.
Finally, he couldn't help but frown and asked: "What's your plan?"
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master were still hesitant to speak. The Fourth Master was too lazy to pay attention to them, so he simply stood up and walked out the door.
He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by Master Jiu: "Fourth brother, where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Fourth Master: "Return home."
When Master Jiu heard this, he immediately came over and pulled Master Si to sit down: "Brother Si, sit down and have some tea. Actually, I don't have anything too important to ask you, I just want to ask you, are you going to stop Sister Si from going out again?"
The Tenth Master also looked over nervously: "Yes, Fourth Brother, you are not really so petty that you will not let Little Fourth Sister-in-law go out from now on."
The Fourth Master narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and his gaze finally fell on the Tenth Master: "Old Nine mentioned it, and that's fine, but he and Jiu'er are doing business together, so why are you doing this?"
