After leaving Chengqian Palace, Liang Jiugong jogged all the way back to Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Kangxi was not yet resting. Liang Jiugong tidied his appearance outside the door before pushing it open and going in.
Kangxi looked at the book in his hand and asked without raising his head, "Is your stomach feeling better?"
"Your Majesty, I feel much better!" Liang Jiugong said with a smile.
Kangxi looked up and saw Liang Jiugong's ambiguous smile. "What are you still looking at! Hurry up and come help me change my clothes!"
"Yes!" Liang Jiugong hurriedly went over, thinking to himself, "As a chief steward, he not only has to serve the emperor's every need, but also understand his thoughts and not let the emperor lose face. It's really tough! The emperor should give him double the monthly salary!"
"What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so slyly?" the Emperor teased Liang Jiugong.
"Your Majesty, you are making fun of this servant!"
"Alright, you should go and rest too! Leave the rest to those eunuchs!" Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong, who had been running around with him all day.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I still have to keep watch over you tonight! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep soundly! Your Majesty, please allow me to stay!" Liang Jiugong said pitifully.
"Alright, whatever you want!" Kangxi couldn't bear to look at Liang Jiugong's tearful appearance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liang Jiugong replied happily.
In Chengqian Palace, He Xue thought for a moment and then said to Xia Bing, "Xia Bing, go to the small kitchen immediately and see if there's still a fire burning. Have the people in the small kitchen help make some food that's easy to digest!"
He Xue felt that the Crown Prince and the others probably didn't eat much at the banquet, and it was too late to eat anything too complicated in the evening!
"Oh, and make another pot of hangover soup, remember to add some Coptis chinensis!" He Xue said through gritted teeth, determined to teach them a lesson and see if they dared to get drunk again next time.
"Princess, isn't this inappropriate?" Xia Bing said hesitantly.
"It's alright, go ahead!" He Xue said. She believed that the Crown Prince wouldn't be angry. As long as the Crown Prince wasn't angry, he would take care of everything else for her.
He Xue then instructed the palace maids to bring several quilts and prepared to go to Fengxian Hall.
"Princess, shall I accompany you?" Nanxing also came out of the room.
"Okay!" To be honest, Xue was still a little scared to go to Fengxian Hall, but with Nanxing accompanying her, she was almost safe.
After the four princes were imprisoned in the Fengxian Hall, the coldness and darkness of the hall immediately sobered them up by half.
"How could Father Emperor be so heartless! Making us kneel here in the middle of the night!" The eldest prince rubbed his arm, unsure whether it was from the cold or from fear.
"Just kneel there obediently! Who knew Father Emperor would suddenly go to Yuqing Palace!" the Crown Prince said.
"Second Prince, when I leave the palace and establish my own residence, you can come to my residence for drinks. At that time, Father Emperor will definitely not be able to control me!" The eldest prince thought about it and felt that the Crown Prince was quite pitiful, living under Father Emperor's watchful eye all the time, unlike them who had the opportunity to leave the palace and establish their own residences.
“Yes, Second Brother, you can come to our residence too!” the Fourth Prince said.
"Eldest brother, fourth brother, our residences will be next to each other, so it will be convenient to visit each other!" the third prince suggested.
"Alright, let's do it this way!" The eldest prince immediately agreed, then patted the crown prince on the shoulder and said rather unkindly, "Second prince, don't worry, we'll all reserve a room for you! That way you won't be without a place to stay when you leave the palace!"
The Crown Prince rolled his eyes at the First Prince and said irritably, "Should I thank you? Are you trying to comfort me or just make me envious?"
"Haha! How could that be! How could I do such a thing! You are my brother, I just feel sorry for you!" the eldest prince said righteously. If you ignored the smile in his eyes, it was somewhat believable.
"Do you think I would believe you?" The Crown Prince glanced at the First Prince.
"How dare he call himself 'I' in front of me! Third Prince, Fourth Prince, beat him up!" With that, the eldest prince pinned the crown prince down.
The third and fourth princes exchanged a glance and then rushed towards the crown prince. Soon, the four brothers were playing around in a chaotic mess.
