Chapter 894: Who should the kitten give the fish to? (Long chapter)
Suddenly, he heard a sound outside the door, and Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a white and tender little ball ran in.
Dabao supported Xiaoya and hugged Emperor Kangxi's thigh with a smile: "Huang Mafa, have you missed Dabao?"
Emperor Kangxi was not surprised to see Dabao, and when he saw the icing sugar hanging from the corner of its mouth, he was so amused that he picked Dabao up from the ground and put him on his lap.
"Of course I missed you. What did you eat secretly? Why did you make your face dirty?"
"Dabao didn't eat it secretly, Your Majesty. Dabao was eating longevity cakes, which were made by my mother. She brought a lot here today. She gave some to the old ancestor and Mama and the others. Dabao ate a lot too." As she said this, she smiled at Emperor Kangxi and said, "Dabao also brought some for Your Majesty. Do you want to eat it now?"
"Keep it for yourself. The Emperor must be hungry." Emperor Kangxi glanced at his grandson, feeling a little dissatisfied. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and helped wipe his little face.
Liang Jiugong beside him was fine, but Wei Zhu was seeing this for the first time today, and her eyes widened immediately.
Although I knew before that His Majesty valued the quadruplets in the Fourth Master's mansion very much.
However, this kind of personal coaxing was something he had never seen before in his life.
Even the Fourteenth Prince, whom the Emperor loved the most, had been held in his arms and coaxed so many times that one could count on one hand.
Not to mention holding him in her arms with such care and gentleness, and carefully wiping his face.
For a moment, Wei Zhu felt that he seemed to see a fake emperor.
"Why doesn't Huang Mafa eat?" Dabao frowned slightly. "Is Huang Mafa seriously ill?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand to touch Emperor Kangxi's face.
"Oh, little ancestor, this is the emperor, you can't touch his face." Wei Zhu was so scared that she almost fell to her knees. She immediately took two steps forward and whispered a warning.
The servants around him also gave up their concentration and looked over here. They were all visibly nervous.
Everyone has heard that the Emperor favors Prince Hongyun, the son of the Fourth Master. It seems he is even more favored than Prince Hongxi, the son of the Crown Prince.
But this is His Majesty's face, the child is not serious, if hurt it will be disastrous. But I am also worried about the child, this action will not anger His Majesty.
Emperor Kangxi's face instantly turned cold, and Wei Zhu, who was standing beside him, felt her heart in her throat as she watched.
"Why are you talking so much? We have no right to speak in front of the emperor. Stand away from him." Liang Jiugong looked at Wei Zhu's nervous expression and winked at him desperately.
Emperor Kangxi gave Wei Zhu a displeased look, then lowered his body slightly under everyone's gaze.
Wei Zhu was pulled back by Liang Jiugong, but her eyes were still wide open. She watched as Prince Hongyun's white and tender hands covered the emperor's forehead.
This... is he hallucinating?
Liang Jiugong curled his lips and couldn't help muttering in his heart, look at him, he looks so ignorant. When he was on the northern tour, the emperor fed the little prince himself. What's the point of holding him in his arms?
"Well, the emperor's forehead isn't that hot!" Dabao looked at Emperor Kangxi in confusion: "Emperor, does it hurt?"
Emperor Kangxi was startled by his question and shook his head. "It doesn't hurt. The Queen is fine now. As long as you sit here and chat with her, she'll feel relaxed and at ease. Tell me, why did you come here at this hour?"
Dabao blinked his eyes and said, "Emperor Mafa, it's not just me, my brothers are here too. However, they have to go back with their mother to get some more food. I want to see Mafa as soon as possible, so I asked Suanda to send me here first."
"Oh. Why do you want to see the Emperor so much?"
"Dabao heard Ama say that Huang Mafa is sick and is a little worried about Huang Mafa. If you feel any pain, you must tell the doctor. Don't get sick. Don't go to such a far place with your brother, okay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet again.
Now not only Wei Zhu was worried, but Liang Jiugong's heart was also in his throat.
Su Peisheng, who was standing beside him, knelt down with a plop and said palely, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Second Prince..."
“Tsk…”
Before he could finish his words, Emperor Kangxi suddenly tutted his lips impatiently and looked over with a frown: "All of you step aside, I'm talking to the child, why are you all meddling in this?"
The servants around him looked at each other, then quickly left the room.
Dabao looked at Emperor Kangxi and suddenly patted his chest: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry, don't be angry, ha."
Emperor Kangxi just laughed: "You little brat, you still have the mood to comfort me now, don't you think you said the wrong thing?"
Dabao tilted his head and said, "Dabao knows he was wrong. This morning, my father and mother told me not to mention my brother in front of the emperor."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment: "Then why are you so disobedient?"
Dabao pinched his little finger and said, "Huang Mafa, Dabao wants to know the answer, but Ama and E'niang didn't tell Dabao because they were afraid that Dabao would be sad. They didn't tell Dabao until his brother passed away because Dabao was worried that Huang Mafa would leave too."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment: "Don't worry, Huang Mafa will not leave."
Looking at his grandson's instantly happy face, Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment and touched Dabao's head: "Dabao, do you like your brother very much?"
"Yeah, I like it. Big brother feeds Dabao delicious food, covers Dabao with a blanket, and drinks with Dabao. Little brother likes big brother very much too."
At this point, Dabao suddenly hissed, "My dear, I haven't told Ama yet. I'm only telling you this secret, and you must not tell anyone else."
Emperor Kangxi shook his head and laughed. These naughty boys can actually drink at such a young age.
At the moment, he just smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will keep it a secret for you.
After thinking for a while, he said, "But, you also have to help me with something."
Dabao immediately patted his chest and said, "Please explain the Royal Law. If I can help, I will definitely help."
"You're quite straightforward." Emperor Kangxi laughed. "Once upon a time, there was a mother cat who had a very large fish. Her cats all wanted to get it. They even fought with each other and bit each other, causing serious injuries. She was a little confused about who to give the fish to. Dabao, what do you think?"
Dabao blinked his eyes and said, "Oh my god, why don't we just divide the fish? Kittens are very cute. They don't eat too much, so they'll all be full. Then they won't fight."
"Break up?"
Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he laughed again. If it was possible, it would be a good idea.
"But I can't, because whoever gets the fish will have all the cats in the alley obey him. It's not just one fish, it's the future of all the cats in the alley. It can only be one cat."
Dabao said seriously: "Huang Mafa, is mother cat so powerful?"
Emperor Kangxi was silent for two seconds: "Mother Cat is very powerful, very powerful."
Dabao laughed and said, "My God, is it necessary to ask such a simple question? I must give it to a kitten as strong as or even stronger than the mother cat. If I give it to a weak cat, the fish will definitely be snatched away by others. I must find a strong and smart one. No one can beat it. Once it eats the fish, other cats will not dare to steal it."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and after a while he patted Dabao's head and said, "You are right, it is indeed a very simple matter."
Dabao laughed happily after hearing this, and then he moved closer to Emperor Kangxi and asked, "Where did the Emperor see the kittens fighting? Dabao wants to see the kittens too."
"No," Emperor Kangxi laughed. "If you want a kitten, go tell your mother and your mother. But the favor the Emperor asked you to do today cannot be told to anyone else."
"Of course. The emperor cannot tell others about Dabao and his brother drinking."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Dabao immediately stretched out his little hand and said, "Make pinky promise."
Emperor Kangxi was in a trance as this kid hooked his little finger, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"We make a promise and nothing will change for a hundred years! And we need to stamp it." After saying that, Dabao put his thumb together with Emperor Kangxi's thumb with great effort.
"Alright, you've made my head hurt from all the noise, go back and get some rest. Look, it's getting dark outside."
Dabao blinked his eyes and said, "Huang Mafa, Dabao must try to speak less. Don't argue with Huang Mafa. But Dabao won't go back today."
Emperor Kangxi looked over and asked: "Not going back?"
Dabao hugged Emperor Kangxi's arm and said, "Our ancestors said that the Queen Mother needs someone to take care of her at night. The Queen Mother also said that the Queen Mother cannot be alone at night.
Today, Dabao is not the only one accompanying Huang Mafa. The younger brothers are also here. They will all come over to sleep with Huang Mafa."
Emperor Kangxi's expression was a bit strange, and he felt a bit uncomfortable saying this. However, looking at his grandson's face, Emperor Kangxi didn't say no. He only asked, "Are you going to stay with me? Don't you miss your mother?"
"I miss my mother, but I can't see her at night. My father said that my mother belongs only to him at night. My mother only likes to sleep with my father in her arms, and won't accompany Dabao and the others.
Huang Mafa, can you hold Dabao and sleep with him?"
Emperor Kangxi: “…”
Did you hear something you shouldn't have heard?
"Huang Ma Fa, Huang Ma Fa! Is this okay?"
Emperor Kangxi was silent for a moment: "This..."
"Huang Ma Fa! Huang Ma Fa!"
Before Emperor Kangxi could finish his words, he heard chattering sounds coming from outside.
The room, which was originally somewhat empty, suddenly became lively.
Dabao had already jumped off his lap and was running to open the door, yelling, "Oh my god, my brothers are here!"
As soon as the door opened, several little kids rushed towards Emperor Kangxi in the blink of an eye.
Erbao reached out for a hug, Sanbao climbed up along Emperor Kangxi's legs, and Sibao pulled Emperor Kangxi's hand, looking up and down, and kept asking, "Huang Mafa, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Kangxi was surrounded by his grandchildren. He had no time to think about anything else and only patiently answered his grandchildren's questions one by one.
Wei Zhu, who was outside, was so angry that her heart was in her throat. "Hey, Brother Su, are we really not going to go in and guard the place? If all the servants of the four young princes come, there won't be enough space in one room. And since His Majesty is the only one in there, what will happen?"
"What's the big deal? As long as the Emperor doesn't call us, we can just wait outside. Look at how impatient you all are. The Emperor has taken some of the younger princes to take a nap in the carriage before, but there's nothing special about it now. Just take care of your own areas and don't worry about it."
After hearing Liang Jiugong's words, everyone seemed to feel relieved, as if they had taken a reassurance pill.
Only Wei Zhu beside him still had a frown on his face.
To be honest, even Liang Jiugong was not as calm as he appeared.
The Emperor did take a nap with the younger princes, but that was in the Empress Dowager's presence. The Emperor simply took a quick look and left after a short while.
Now looking at this posture and the clothes brought by the people around him, are they planning to let these young princes rest in the Qianqing Palace?
For a moment, he felt a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at Su Peisheng next to him.
Su Peisheng tilted his head, as if he hadn't seen it. It was impossible to tell what his mood was.
Liang Jiugong also let out a long sigh and said, "Well, let's just leave it to fate."
The four princes and the concubine are all at ease, so what is there for him to worry about?
Liang Jiugong had made all the necessary preparations and thought that this night would be very busy, but who would have thought that the emperor did not summon them in once throughout the entire night.
It was not until the next morning, when Wei Zhu was about to squeeze in through the crack of the door, that he heard the door creak open.
Everyone looked up and found that it was the emperor himself who opened the door.
"Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die..."
"Shh!"
Before Liang Jiugong could finish his words, Emperor Kangxi hissed, "The child hasn't woken up yet. Keep your voice down and quickly send someone in to help me wash up."
“Yeah.”
After responding, Liang Jiugong immediately went in with the eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time.
After entering the inner room, I couldn't help but glance at the bed.
In a trance, he saw the brothers sleeping in a mess, and was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Emperor Kangxi noticed that Liang Jiugong was in a daze, but he ignored him and let the servants help him wash and dress.
In fact, he was also a little shocked when he woke up this morning.
I thought these kids were too noisy staying around, so I wanted to let them play here for a while and then send them back.
But I didn't expect that I would fall asleep just like that while playing around.
It had been a long time since Emperor Kangxi had slept so soundly, and he slept until the morning.
When he woke up, he was surprised to see the slightly bright sky outside. Thinking about it carefully, he even forgot to shower yesterday.
"Don't let anyone else know that the children stayed overnight at my place yesterday. Also, let them sleep well. When they wake up, have Wen come to pick them up."
Emperor Kangxi gave a few more instructions to the servants beside him before rising to attend the court. "Let's sort out all the mess today."
