Chapter 899 Dabao: Mother, Ama has plenty of strength
I subconsciously took a few more glances and realized that they seemed to be secretly looking at Wen Jiu.
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows. Today was a strange day. The fourth child had a stern face, which looked a bit intimidating, but these children didn't seem to be afraid of him at all. Instead, they seemed to be more afraid of the smiling man drinking warm wine beside them.
Emperor Kangxi continued to watch calmly without saying anything, but just asked them to sit down quickly.
"Mom, that's great! We have Dabao's favorite shrimp paste!"
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat as much as you can. Mother will serve it to you right away."
"Dabao's shrimp paste, without chili pepper, with plum powder." He placed the warm wine in front of his own Dabao.
"Thank you, mother!" Dabao took it happily. Awu took a big bite.
"Erbao's, original flavor, nothing added." He put the roasted amber-colored, slightly burnt shrimp paste into the bowl and pushed it in front of Erbao.
Seeing Sanbao's big, bright eyes staring at him again, Wenjiu just smiled and said, "Mother knows, add more spice, right?"
The tastes of the children are all different. Sibao's taste is most similar to Wenjiu's, so Wenjiu was given a slightly spicy and numb taste for Sibao.
The boys started eating immediately, taking turns to eat, until their mouths were full of oil.
Emperor Kangxi looked at her, still a little confused. The warm wine wasn't harsh on the children, so why did they seem a little afraid of her? It was as if they behaved much better in her presence.
Before he could figure it out, he saw that there were not many shrimp pastes left. Emperor Kangxi frowned and coughed lightly: "Girl Wen, I want some chili too."
Wenjiu responded with a smile, poured a large box for Emperor Kangxi, and brought some cold noodles to him. "Your Majesty, these cold noodles won't taste good when they're cold. They're just perfect now. Would you like to try some?"
Emperor Kangxi took the chopsticks from there, picked up a piece of grilled cold noodles and put it into his mouth.
"This one is sour." He took two more bites: "Hmm, it tastes really good." After finishing the grilled cold noodles in a few bites, he picked up the shrimp paste next to it.
As soon as Emperor Kangxi took a bite of the crispy, tender, and chewy shrimp paste, his eyes widened considerably: "Hey, this thing tastes really fresh, I've never tasted it before..."
"Your Majesty, this is fresh, spicy and flavorful. I sprinkled some plum powder on it. Please try it." Wen Jiu said as he had already prepared a portion and sent it to Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't wait to add another chopstick: "Not bad, not bad, this thing tastes great."
After eating several mouthfuls in one breath, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but nod: "Yes, it tastes very good."
When he regained consciousness, he realized that everyone around him was looking at him: "Hurry up and eat, what are you looking at me for?"
"yes."
Wenjiu responded, mixed different flavors for the children and placed them in front of them, and then mixed two larger portions for the Fourth Master and himself: "Master, try it quickly."
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law! Give me some of what you gave me. I want something spicy! No? I want something really, really, really spicy. And the plum flavored one that the Emperor placed in front of me, I want to try that too."
"Why do you have so much to do? Sister-in-law Si has been busy all morning. Let him have a few bites. We can add the seasoning ourselves. Just add as much as you like."
"Yes, what Thirteenth Brother said makes sense." Thirteen said, standing up and taking the small spoon for the seasoning for the warm wine. He sprinkled the seasoning on it himself, muttering, "It smells so good."
Thirteenth Master also stood up to season the food himself. "Mm, it tastes great. And Fourth Sister-in-law's garlic shrimp is even better. The vermicelli underneath is very flavorful."
Emperor Kangxi ate up the entire plate in the blink of an eye. When he looked again, he saw that there were only a few pieces left on the large plate. He cleared his throat again and said, "Girl Wen, tell someone to make some more."
Wen Jiu looked over in surprise, and Emperor Kangxi said seriously, "Why would the Empress Dowager send some? How can such a small amount be enough to eat?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. There's more in the kitchen, but it hasn't been served yet." After saying that, he looked at Liang Jiugong beside him and said, "Please go get it, eunuch. It's hot on the iron plate."
"Hey, I'll ask someone to get it right away."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi also slowed down his eating pace.
However, there were only three dishes and a soup. The imperial kitchen, seeing that the food was all very rich in flavor, specially prepared a refreshing and mild old duck and wolfberry soup.
With just a few dishes, everyone was very satisfied.
After eating, Emperor Kangxi lazily leaned back in his chair and said, "Fourth Brother, you guys go ahead and get busy. Thirteen and Fourteen can stay here if they have time. Dabao and the others still have classes, so hurry up and call his Anda over."
"Yes, Father Huang, I will go to the southern suburbs with Jiu'er this afternoon."
"Well, go ahead."
Thirteen was stunned: "Fourth brother, you are leaving? The children..."
"The Emperor will take care of the children. They will be staying in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for the next two days."
Thirteen was stunned for a moment, then noticed the seriousness in his fourth brother's eyes and nodded imperceptibly: "Then fourth brother, hurry up and get busy."
"Father! Mother! Are you leaving?"
Dabao had already gone outside with his younger brothers, but after hearing what was said, he immediately ran back and grabbed Wenjiu's hand.
Wenjiu touched his son's head and looked at the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master said, "Dabao, you will stay in the palace with your Royal Mafa for the next few days. Father and Mother have some important matters to attend to. They will be back in ten days."
Dabao was a little disappointed: "Ten days? It takes that long!"
Sanbao wrinkled his nose immediately and hugged Wenjiu's legs: "Mother, Sanbao misses you!"
"Sibao misses mom too."
"Erbao wants to too."
Several boys hugged Wenjiu tightly.
Wen Jiu patted the heads of her sons one by one and said, "Mother is just going to the southern suburbs. She will be back in less than an hour on horseback. You just wait patiently. As soon as Mother is free, she will come back to see you, okay?"
Dabao nodded and said, "Okay, mother, be careful on the road. Don't do the heavy work yourself. Leave it to me. I have plenty of strength."
"Okay." Wenjiu said, and couldn't help but hugged his son: "My Dabao, don't work too hard. While you take care of Huangma, Brother Fa and your brothers, don't treat yourself badly. When mother comes back, I will definitely reward mother's Dabao well."
"Dabao is not tired, Dabao is happy." Dabao smiled and said, "Mother, please come back often. Brother misses you."
"Okay." Wenjiu kissed Dabao on the cheek: "Mother, kiss me, whose son is so obedient!"
This made Dabao laugh so hard. Wenjiu played with his sons one by one for a long time. Although he didn't play enough, he felt that Emperor Kangxi was watching and had to stop.
"Jiu'er, let's go. It's getting late."
The Fourth Master immediately took a serious look and said, "Dabao, take good care of your brothers. If you need anything, go to your Royal Madam or Mama, or if all else fails, go to the Grandfather or your uncles. If it's not urgent, or you can't make up your mind, write to Father and Mother."
"Okay, don't worry, Dabao has remembered everything." Dabao patted his chest and promised, "Father and mother, please go quickly. Dabao will take you there."
Wenjiu finally left the house with the Fourth Master, looking back every few steps.
Emperor Kangxi looked at the children behind him and saw that they could not see the fourth and second children, but were still looking at them. For a moment, he frowned in worry.
"Are they...about to cry?"
