Chapter 268 Bastard!
"What's wrong with the fourth brother?" Emperor Kangxi paused with his chopsticks and asked suspiciously.
The frequency of the fourth child appearing has been particularly high recently, and it seems like this year is an unlucky year.
Looking at Concubine De's expression, is this another piece of bad news?!
De Fei hesitated for a moment, and first picked up a piece of cake for Emperor Kangxi, then said casually: "It's not a big deal, please have breakfast first, don't delay the court."
Today is the morning ceremony, and it’s still dark outside.
Emperor Kangxi realized that it was not a big deal, so he put it aside.
After all, we have worked hard for two days, and today we will announce the new policy on sweet potatoes.
After Emperor Kangxi retired from court after a busy morning, he calmed down in the Qianqing Palace and then thought of the Fourth Master.
Asked Liang Jiugong: "What happened to the fourth family?"
Liang Jiugong had already made preparations and found out everything: "A concubine in the Fourth Master's mansion was about to give birth, but the baby was stillborn."
This is not a pleasant thing to hear. The days when the fourth child had no children seem to be right in front of him.
Although there are several children in the mansion now, they are all still young. The eldest prince is Honghui, who is not even one year old.
Although he looks healthy, children are precious and difficult to raise, and no one can guarantee that the child will live a hundred years.
Emperor Kangxi felt a rare sense of guilt. If the fourth child had not been tricked by the third child and others and returned home early, this child would obviously not have been in trouble.
This time, it’s not just the loss of a few secret guards.
He frowned and asked, "When will Honghui be one year old?"
"Just seven days later," Liang Jiugong remembered it clearly and even prepared in advance what Emperor Kangxi would give.
Emperor Kangxi said: "The reward for the three children will be doubled."
"And take out the ox-horn bow from my private vault, the one inlaid with gems!"
That ox horn bow was given to him by his father when he was a child. It was one of his rare and beloved possessions.
It's been kept in the warehouse and hasn't been moved, but it's still a good thing.
Liang Jiugong felt a chill in his heart and secretly showed a little more respect to Honghui.
Emperor Kangxi then asked the Third Master, "Why didn't I see the Third Master come to the court today? I haven't heard anything about him recently."
I've been displeased with the third brother recently, and today I specifically wanted to pick him out and scold him.
Unexpectedly, I didn't see anyone and I was very angry.
Liang Jiugong was confused and quickly apologized, saying he didn't know.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know. Emperor Kangxi thought it was no big deal.
But as soon as he picked up the letter, he understood and threw it on the table.
"Asshole! I was wondering why you suddenly stopped coming to court without saying a word. So you did something like this!"
Less than a hundred days had passed since Concubine Min passed away, and none of the princes had shaved their heads, not even the crown prince.
The third brother, however, had no regard for brotherhood at all. He had spoken ill of the thirteenth brother in public many times before, embarrassing him.
This time he even disregarded filial piety and shaved his head!
Liang Jiugong was standing by and listening with fear, thinking that Prince Cheng was becoming more and more unreliable.
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he drank a large cup of tea, and his forehead was buzzing.
It's not that Concubine Min is so much favored by him, but as her concubine, if he doesn't give her face, it means he doesn't take him seriously.
Then he thought again, how come the third son, who was such an obedient son before, has become like this now?
The third brother was not bad at riding and shooting, and he was very good at Chinese studies. Many Han officials praised him and respected him.
In consideration of his contribution to the compilation of history books, even though he had not made any contribution, he was still granted the title of a prince like the eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, after being conferred the title of Prince, the third brother became like a possessed person.
First he becomes unsteady in his work, and then he starts jumping around, eager to show off.
Now he is even more ambitious and completely disregards brotherhood.
Could it be that he really sealed it wrongly?
Emperor Kangxi opened the memorial again. It clearly stated when the third son complained about shaving his head, and how he actually took action the day before yesterday.
There was also a memorial from the Ministry of Clan Affairs, accusing him of disloyalty and unfilial piety and demanding that he be stripped of his title as a warning to others.
Emperor Kangxi closed his eyes. It turned out that the third son had shaved his head secretly in the mansion, and it was revealed so quickly.
There are still so many people who want to submit a petition asking him to punish severely.
He can tell who's behind this.
"Alas~ He was wronged after all," Emperor Kangxi thought of the haggard look of the fourth brother yesterday.
He turned around and thought of the child who died in the fourth brother's house today, and sighed.
I was originally planning to fine him his salary, but now I might as well go for a big one.
The Fourth Master had already made all the arrangements and didn't care about the outcome. He took his wife and children to the hot spring villa.
Unlike when they came back last time, Honghui and Yaliqi can now walk a little. They are so happy to come to such a big place.
The two short legs seemed to have no idea of tiredness and walked back and forth on the grass tremblingly.
As soon as Hongyun put him there, he would lie there and take root, not moving at all if possible.
The Fourth Master wanted to laugh as he watched Lin Mingyan in his arms. Lin Mingyan did not explain to him that she remembered it, and he seemed to have forgotten about it as well.
Anyway, his attitude now was extremely good, as if he had completely separated her from the backyard.
He was discussing with her the triplets' first birthday party: "If you don't like to hold it at the mansion, we can arrange it at the VIP Residence."
"If we hold it there, it will be novel and respectable, and it will also avoid any conflict with the wife."
Who says the Third Prince is only one day younger than them?
If we hold everything in the mansion, and wait until the triplets' birthdays are over before moving things downstairs and preparing for the third prince's, it will be too late.
Besides, Fu Jin had already started preparing for the birthday party ten days ago.
It is certainly inappropriate to fight for it at this time.
Lin Mingyan didn't want to think about it anymore. She nodded and said, "When Madam Tong came yesterday, I told her to clear out the entire VIP room for me that day."
He felt sorry for his own children. Because the wife and the third prince were in poor health, the triplets' third day bath and full month celebrations were rushed.
At that time, she was concerned about the overall situation and could only let her children suffer.
Fu Jin is probably thinking that she can make the triplets suffer for the rest of her life.
After all, the three older brothers and sisters are only one day older than the third prince, and the birthday party must take a month to prepare.
From now on, won't the triplets ever be able to have a good birthday?!
Lin Mingyan now refuses to do this!
There is absolutely no way she would let her child suffer any more!
This is your first time as a human being, why should I give in to you?
Well, even though this is her second time as a human being, she still can’t let him in.
Seeing her like this, the Fourth Master breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cha Cha is amazing. This is how we should be."
"Otherwise, when Honghui and the others grow up and hear what others say about it, it will be so painful."
