"Go to Zizhuyuan." The Fourth Master said vaguely.
"Yes~"
Su Peisheng supported the Fourth Master and walked towards Zizhu Courtyard.
Wen Mianmian was reading a storybook in the room when she heard a greeting outside. She knew that the Fourth Master had returned.
She put down the sketchbook, and the Fourth Master was also helped in by Su Peisheng at this time.
Wen Mianmian smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and when she saw the Fourth Master's current appearance, she knew that the Fourth Master was drunk.
She quickly got off the couch and supported the Fourth Master. She glanced at Su Peisheng and asked, "Master, what's wrong? Why did you drink so much?"
Just as Su Peisheng was about to reply, the Fourth Master spoke up, "I had a few drinks with Sixth Brother and the others. Don't worry, Mianmian. I'm fine."
"You're still okay even though you're this drunk." She helped him sit down in front of the warm couch, turned her head to look at Nanny Song and said, "Nanny, go get the master a bowl of sobering soup."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Nanny Song quickly went to ask the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup, and Su Peisheng left when he saw his concubine was there.
Suddenly, the Fourth Master hugged Mianmian and let her sit on his lap, murmuring softly, "Mianmian, I'm so sleepy."
Maybe it was because he was drunk, the Fourth Master felt sleepy at the moment.
"Then let's wait until we drink the sobering soup before going to bed, okay?" Wen Mianmian coaxed the Fourth Master softly as if coaxing a child.
This was the first time she had seen the Fourth Master so drunk in all the years they had been together.
"Well, I won't drink it. It doesn't taste good." The Fourth Master frowned. He didn't like the taste of the hangover soup at all.
"No, you have to drink the hangover soup, otherwise you will have a headache the next day."
"No~" The Fourth Master was like a child at this time, and he wouldn't listen to anything anyone said.
He stood up with staggering steps. Wen Mianmian didn't know what he was going to do, so she stood up too. Unexpectedly, the Fourth Master took her hand and walked towards the inner room.
Seeing his unsteady steps, Wen Mianmian was afraid that he would trip himself, so she quickly helped him inside.
As soon as he entered the inner room, the Fourth Master hugged Wen Mianmian and they lay down on the bed together.
"Mianmian, sleep with me." The Fourth Master hugged her and held her tightly in his arms.
Wen Mianmian: “…”
"Fourth Master, take off your clothes first. It's uncomfortable to sleep with clothes on." Wen Mianmian was pressed down by him and could hardly breathe.
Moreover, the Fourth Master reeked of alcohol, and Wen Mianmian felt that she would be drunk by the strong smell in a moment.
"Then Mianmian, help me. I'm so sleepy."
The Fourth Master grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest.
If he hadn't reeked so strongly of alcohol, she would have suspected he was pretending to be drunk.
"Then you should sleep over for a bit. How can I take off your clothes if you're pressing on me like this?"
The Fourth Master closed his eyes and after hearing what Mianmian said, he really stopped pressing on her. He turned over and no longer pressed on her.
Wen Mianmian quickly sat up, gasping for breath, and turned her head to look at the Fourth Master who was sleeping next to her. Wen Mianmian sighed, stood up and began to help the Fourth Master take off his clothes.
After all this was done, Nanny Song brought in more water. She wiped the Fourth Master clean and waited for the sobering soup to be served. Wen Mianmian fed the Fourth Master the soup with great difficulty.
After so much trouble, everything was finally done and Wen Mianmian walked out.
After asking Su Peisheng, I found out the reason. It turned out that the Fourth Master went drinking with the Sixth Master and others.
Hearing that they were also drunk, and quite drunk, Wen Mianmian felt a little better.
It’s okay if the Fourth Master is the only one who drinks so much.
The Fourth Master slept straight through to the next day. Since he had drunk sobering soup last night, Wen Mianmian added some spiritual fruit juice to it.
So when the Fourth Master woke up, he not only didn't feel dizzy, but felt relaxed instead.
Seeing that Mianmian was still sleeping, the Fourth Master did not wake her up. He got up quietly, washed up with the help of Su Peisheng, and then went directly to the morning court.
When Wen Mianmian woke up, the Fourth Master was gone.
After the Fourth Master left the court, he did not leave immediately, but followed Emperor Kangxi back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Tell me, what else is there?"
Kangxi also sat down in front of the warm couch. Liang Jiugong came over with two cups of tea, put them down and walked out.
"I came to see the Emperor this time because I wanted to tell him about the Prince's Mansion." This was a decision he made after thinking about it for a whole night.
"Oh, that's the matter. Now that you're the Crown Prince, you naturally can't live in Prince Yong's Mansion anymore. I'll have the Eastern Palace cleaned up someday, and you can move in there."
He thought he was eager to move into the palace. Now that he was the crown prince, it was natural for him to live in the East Palace, so Emperor Kangxi didn't say anything.
Moreover, if he lived in the palace, he could review more memorials for himself, which would allow him to relax.
"This is exactly what I'm talking about. I don't want to move to the Eastern Palace, and I came here to discuss this matter with the Emperor."
Although he is the crown prince now, he has no intention of moving to the Eastern Palace.
He was already used to living in Prince Yongqing's Mansion, so there was no need to move around, which would be too troublesome.
Moreover, many things are not so convenient when living in the palace.
Emperor Kangxi was a little surprised to hear what he said. He thought that he wanted to move into the palace as soon as possible.
"Why? You are the crown prince now, and you should live in the East Palace."
Many people strive for this position, don’t they just want to live in this palace? The fourth brother’s thoughts made him more and more puzzled.
"I am now living in Prince Yong's mansion and it is quite comfortable for me. Although I am the crown prince now, I don't necessarily have to live in the Eastern Palace to be the real crown prince."
"So I hope to change my son's Yongqin Mansion into the Crown Prince's Mansion. This will save time and effort, and it won't be too troublesome to move around."
He didn't want to move into the East Palace for two reasons. One was that it was too troublesome, and the other was that it was where his second brother had lived, and he didn't want to move there either. It was fine to live in his own house, and there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"Okay, then it's up to you. If you don't want to move, then don't move. But you are the crown prince now, and your Prince Yong's Mansion is a little too small. I will allocate some money to you so that you can build it up properly."
After all, he is the crown prince, and he cannot lose the reputation of his royal family.
Besides, he didn't have to move. He was planning to pass the throne to him in a year or two. He would have to move in sooner or later anyway, so they could just move together later and there wouldn't be so much trouble.
Of course, Emperor Kangxi did not tell the fourth son about this matter. He thought that he should wait a few months before talking about it and let him get familiar with handling the affairs of the court first.
Once he has mastered it thoroughly, he can then unload this burden.
