Although she had ulterior motives for accompanying them, looking at Hongxuan's excited and satisfied smile, and asking herself honestly, she realized that this trip had actually helped her relax.
If that's the case, then why am I still hesitating? Besides, this is also an educational and entertaining activity, which is excellent for Xuan'er.
Back in the courtyard where I was temporarily staying, it was quite hot because of the rising temperature and the fact that I had just come back from outside. So I rested in the pavilion in the courtyard and enjoyed the cool breeze.
As soon as Hongxuan was carried back by Su Peisheng, he went straight to the things on the table.
"Mother, this is for you."
"Mine?" Jiaming looked at the wooden hairpin in Hongxuan's hand with great surprise.
To be honest, she wasn't so fond of the child when she first got pregnant. But as the child was born, the child became more and more important to her, and she even got jealous because the child had a good relationship with her father.
“Yes.” Xiao Hongxuan nodded, stuffed the wooden hairpin into Jiaming’s hand, and then turned around and plunged into the pile of things he had bought.
Jiaming played with the wooden hairpin in her hand, intentionally or unintentionally drifting towards Fourth Master.
Fourth Master paused for a moment, then touched the thumb ring on his thumb.
Just then, a cup of tea was brought over. The Fourth Prince calmly took the teacup but did not drink it, glancing at Hongxuan from time to time.
Soon after, Hongxuan picked up an interesting brush washer, climbed down from the stone bench, and turned to walk towards the Fourth Master.
Jiaming paused in her play with the wooden hairpin, while Fourth Master used the act of drinking tea to conceal the upturned corners of his mouth.
Sure enough, Hongxuan said in his childish voice, "Father, this is for you."
Fourth Master accepted the teacup with a sigh of relief, then patted Hongxuan's head and said, "This is good."
"Hehe!" Hongxuan continued happily, "I also bought some for my eldest brother, third brother, Emperor Grandfather, and Mam."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's eyes flashed with a smile. It was no wonder that his father and the others doted on him, and they even remembered to bring things for Honghui and Hongshi. The brothers had a good relationship, which was very good.
"Take this to your elder brother and the others when you return in a few days. As for your Grandfather," Fourth Master paused before continuing, "bring it up the next time you see them."
Such a thoughtful gesture is rare. Father/Mother Emperor likes Xuan'er very much and must be very happy.
As if on cue, not long after the Fourth Prince and his entourage had rested, just after Hongxuan had distributed the things he had bought for everyone, they were greeted by the eunuch from Consort De's quarters.
"Her Majesty misses Prince Hongxuan and has not seen Princess Guarjia for a long time. She would like to see her as well. If you have time, Fourth Prince, Her Majesty hopes that you can go and visit her as well."
Since Consort De had spoken, the Fourth Prince and the others went to her courtyard and found that Emperor Kangxi was also there.
Fourth Prince and Jiaming quickly greeted them, "Greetings to Father Emperor (Your Majesty), may Father Emperor (Your Majesty) enjoy ten thousand years of good fortune and peace."
At such a young age, Hongxuan, imitating his father, bowed and uttered auspicious words in his babyish voice, each word clear and fluent. He even knew how to change the form of address: "Greetings to Grandfather, may Grandfather be blessed with ten thousand years of happiness and peace."
Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Rise."
After seeing his father and mother reply, Xiao Hongxuan quickly repeated, "Thank you, Grandfather!"
Just when Jiaming thought he would continue to behave like a little adult, the little guy suddenly rushed to Kangxi's side.
Then, she saw Kangxi gesture to Li Dequan, who was standing to the side, to carry her to the couch and sit with him on the same couch. Then he picked up a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Hongxuan.
"Thank you, Grandfather." With that, Hongxuan smiled and took the mung bean cake, taking a satisfied bite.
Consort De gently moved the plum juice to the table in front of Hongxuan, saying, "Don't worry, there's more. There's plum juice if you're thirsty."
As for Jiaming herself, she was standing behind the Fourth Master. What a privilege! Then, she glanced at the Fourth Master in front of her and saw that he had a seat, which was better than what she had received.
However, there was only tea on the table, which was not even as good as Xuan'er's. For some reason, she felt a little schadenfreude, though not very much.
Then she realized that, like herself, the master was ignored after paying his respects.
Because Emperor Kangxi was talking to Hongxuan, and Consort De was holding Xuan'er's chubby little hand, gently squeezing it, neither of them had a moment to spare.
Finally, after Kangxi and Hongxuan had said a lot of pointless things, the old man turned his attention to the Fourth Prince.
Jiaming stood behind Fourth Master, head bowed, listening intently to the conversation between the father and son.
Kangxi: He encouraged the Fourth Prince, and in short, he did not involve politics.
The Fourth Prince always said: "Father is right, Your Majesty will do your best..."
Mothers always subconsciously revolve around their children, and Jiaming is currently in the process of doing so. So, she subconsciously glanced upwards.
She then noticed that while Kangxi appeared to be speaking earnestly to the Fourth Prince, his mind was actually on Xuan'er. She saw that it was the old man who was currently holding and playing with Hongxuan's hand.
Sure enough, when Hongxuan told Consort De about the things he had bought for her that day, as well as the Emperor, Kangxi and the Fourth Prince stopped talking.
Then the old man and Hongxuan talked, such as what they bought and where they bought it. The fourth master was neglected again, just like himself.
She was quite relieved that Hongxuan was so favored by Emperor Kangxi. Judging from the past, it seemed that many people thought that Xuan'er was just ordinaryly liked by Emperor Kangxi. At least, the Fujin did not feel that Emperor Kangxi valued Hongxuan as much as the eldest prince Honghui. The old man kept it a secret very well.
If that's the case, then I don't need to worry about anyone harming Hongxuan because of my excessive pampering.
Jiaming, who was sighing with her head down, did not see that Kangxi next to Hongxuan had frowned, and that Consort De was already giving the Fourth Prince a cold look.
