Chapter 898: Fourth Master: I Can't Live Without Wine
"What's the matter?"
Emperor Kangxi continued to ask.
"I beg you to agree to let me go with Jiu'er."
Emperor Kangxi's rocking chair suddenly straightened, and he opened his eyes and looked at the Fourth Master: "Oh?"
The Fourth Master nodded calmly, "I'm afraid this trip will take quite a while, and there are many things to do. Jiu'er will definitely be able to help me. Also, you know my relationship with the ministers. If I'm to preside over the Southern Suburbs Grand Sacrifice, I'll inevitably have to interact with them, and that's the thing I'm least good at. I can't do this without Jiu'er."
"Oh, you are really an honest person." Emperor Kangxi sneered and suddenly slammed the table heavily. "How can this be? A grown man, but he always makes excuses when doing his job. Now he is so promising that he even says that he can't live without a woman. Fourth Brother, you are really going backwards as you grow older!"
"Father Your Majesty, women are women, and wine is wine." The Fourth Master said with his eyes lowered.
Emperor Kangxi glared at him and said, "You think you're right?"
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment: "Father Emperor, you have also used wine to handle court affairs."
Emperor Kangxi choked and squinted his eyes at the Fourth Master. "That's fine, but I have one condition."
"Just follow the Emperor's orders," said the Fourth Master.
"It's just Dabao and the others. You go to the southern suburbs, and the children have to stay in the palace."
"good."
The Fourth Master agreed straightforwardly. Emperor Kangxi, who was already preparing for a heated argument with the Fourth Master, was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Fourth Master as if he were a monster: "You agreed so readily?"
"Of course I trust the Emperor."
Emperor Kangxi looked strange: "It will take a long time in front of me."
“It’s a blessing for the children.”
Emperor Kangxi: "In that case, you may go down."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and turned to look at Liang Jiugong. "Go and find a few comfortable rooms in my bedroom. You can choose them for the children later."
"yes."
As he spoke, he noticed that the Fourth Master had not left yet, so Emperor Kangxi frowned and asked, "What else do you want to do?"
"Father Your Majesty, I still have something to report to you."
"Well, you say." Emperor Kangxi picked up the wine and took a sip, revealing an expression of enjoyment: "Comfortable."
"Your Majesty, I agree. You still need to ask the children's opinion. If they disagree, they will probably cry and make a fuss. Also, if they agree, there will be many people entering the palace together, and Your Majesty will probably have to prepare more space."
Emperor Kangxi frowned upon hearing this: "What are you doing? Do you think anyone can come to my Palace of Heavenly Purity just because they want to?"
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. It's just that Zhan Dagumi and Dashao are the ones who teach the children martial arts every day, so they have to be together every day. Also, there are some people who are in charge of the food. The children are used to eating the food from the stomach, and I'm afraid they are not used to eating from the imperial kitchen."
Emperor Kangxi frowned and glanced at the Fourth Master, "Do you think that just by saying this, you can change your mind? Even though my palace is so big, is it possible that there is not enough room for you to live here?
"If you ask me, you're doing this in vain. They're not even three years old yet, so why would they need someone like Zhan Dagumi to teach them? Later, I'll help you get two more Andas, and it'll be the same."
"Father, if you can find someone who can defeat Prince Zhan Dagumi, I will naturally have nothing to say."
This made Emperor Kangxi even more angry and he glared at him: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning!"
The Fourth Master continued, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no other intentions. I am very relieved that the children are with Your Majesty in the palace. The only thing the two gods are worried about is Guangci. As long as Your Majesty does not allow Guangci to come into contact with the children, I will not object."
Emperor Kangxi paused, staring at the Fourth Master for a long moment, then suddenly said, "No matter what you say or think, it's useless. I have given you my permission. Also, the children have said they're very willing to stay in the palace with me. Now that you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave. I'm afraid you'll be busy with the Southern Suburbs Grand Sacrifice."
As he spoke, he leaned back in the chair and rocked a little. He was amazed at the moment, "This rocking chair is really comfortable. I don't know what the brain of Wenjiu was that made such a thing."
The Fourth Master was stunned and looked towards the chair. Before he could say anything, he heard a very familiar voice the next second.
"Your Majesty, the grilled cold noodles are ready. They're still hot, so try them while they're still warm."
"Wine!"
"Master!"
Both of them were stunned for a moment when they saw each other.
"Why are you here?" asked the Fourth Master.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Early this morning, the children were resting at the Emperor's place, so I came to take a look. What a coincidence, they mentioned that they had some new dishes that they wanted to invite the Emperor to taste, so they made them."
"Little Four, please take care of him! This sizzling shrimp paste just came out of the pot and Little Fourteen has almost eaten it all."
Thirteen followed closely behind him into the house, holding a plate of food in his hand and frowning.
"Hey, Brother Thirteen, what you said is not right. It's as if I was the only one eating it. Do you dare to say that you didn't eat it? You even ate several of my garlic prawns." Fourteen said.
Thirteen stared, not saying a word for a long time, and went into the house with gritted teeth.
Fourteen also followed happily.
"Fourth brother?"
After the two entered the room, they were stunned when they saw the Fourth Master.
"Brother Four, you've arrived just in time. Sister Four's meal has just come out of the pot."
Thirteen then placed the food plate on the table in front of him.
When Emperor Kangxi saw them coming in, he lifted his robe and found a place to sit down.
"Go see what the children are doing and call them over for dinner."
"Yes." Liang Jiugong responded, and immediately smiled and ordered the eunuch to hurry and fetch the person. The Palace of Heavenly Purity had not been this lively for a long time.
The Fourth Master took a look and saw nothing unclear about it, so he quietly found a seat and sat down.
Emperor Kangxi glanced at him and immediately frowned: "Fourth Brother, go and do your own thing. I don't need you here."
"Your Majesty, it's not that Erchen wants to serve you, but I just woke up early this morning and haven't had my meal yet. How about you, Your Majesty, please grant me a favor and let me have my meal with you before leaving?"
I had asked him to hurry up and leave beforehand simply because I wanted Wenjiu to make a few more dishes. But now there was only so little in front of me, and with the addition of Lao Si, I was afraid it wouldn't even be enough.
Just as he was thinking of asking Wenjiu to make some more delicious food, he saw several grandchildren running in one after another, greeting him with a smile.
"Alright, no need to be polite. Come and sit down. Your mother made something delicious. Come and have a taste."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four little kids followed Emperor Kangxi in paying their respects in an official manner.
Emperor Kangxi was stunned at the moment. Why did these guys look completely different from yesterday?
