Chapter 458 Kangxi Loves to Watch Operas
The Fifth Prince picked up the teacup and took a sip. He didn't even want to look at the woman any more, even if the woman was quite good-looking. So what?
The Fifth Prince felt that his brothers would not like a woman who was full of calculations at first glance. If she had an outstanding family background, it would be fine to pamper her once in a while, but forget about it!
Now this Shuldeku actually wants to put this person into the ninth brother's backyard. Not to mention that the ninth brother is not happy about it, even mother will not agree!
The Fifth Prince felt that his Ninth Brother's sister-in-law was not suitable for living with so many scheming women in his Ninth Brother's backyard.
Wen Yao: Are you polite?
The Seventh Prince was still watching with a smile on his face, eating a sugar-coated hawthorn from time to time. It tasted really good!
However, the cherry sandwich biscuits next to it are the most delicious. The Seventh Prince thought of asking the servants in the mansion to go to the Ninth Brother's wife's Bamianzhai to see if these fresh snacks have been served again. Then he can bring them back for the wife and the children at home to try. Although Hongshu is still young, he can be fed with complementary foods, so the biscuits can be eaten even if they are soaked in a paste!
Don't ask him how he knew that. Sometimes he went to feed the baby with his wife. As a result, the Seventh Prince felt more at ease about his wife. Even if someone asked about his leg disease, he didn't care that much.
The Eighth Prince picked up a yogurt cake and placed it in front of his wife. He used the back of his hand to test the temperature of the teacup in front of him and asked, "Can someone bring you some warm water?"
The Eighth Lady shook her head, "No, I'll have someone bring us two cups of yogurt." Then she approached the Eighth Prince, "Sir, here is the person that Shuer Deku wanted to send to my ninth brother."
The Eighth Prince looked over and just glanced at him indifferently, "His family background is not as good as Hengruo's, his scheming is unknown, but his desires are several times stronger than Hengruo's, he is not suitable for the Ninth Brother."
When the Eighth Concubine heard the name Hengruo again from her master, she lowered her eyes to look at her belly. The Eighth Concubine looked a little listless, and looked at the Eighth Prince in a daze. The Eighth Prince looked back and their eyes met. Whatever the Eighth Concubine was thinking, she could not hide it from the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince just sighed. He could get what he wanted to protect through calculations, but heirs were something that could not be obtained by calculations!
He was also helpless towards his legitimate son and daughter!
"Master, I'm fine. Master, let's start dancing," the Eighth Lady suppressed the bitterness in her heart, smiled and patted the back of the Eighth Prince's hand, pointing to the center of the banquet. As the sound of the piano rang out, a graceful figure danced with the wind. Her figure was ethereal under the moonlight and the light of the palace, and she seemed like a fairy in the clouds as she listened to the sound of the piano.
[She danced beautifully. She would be even prettier if she was wearing a belly-baring outfit. But it's a pity that her eyes were always fixed on my ninth brother, just like a wolf staring at a sheep. Such a beautiful girl was ruined by this expression!] Wen Yao felt it was a pity. This dance was really beautiful. [It turned out that she wasn't playing the piano. But who played the piano? It was very ethereal.]
The Third Prince was still nodding, looking very ethereal indeed. He didn't look at the young lady of the Li Jia family at all, but at the woman playing the piano. After she finished playing, she quietly went to stand at the back. The person in the front was of course Shuldeku's daughter Li Jia Youran.
After Li Jiayouran finished her greeting, she looked straight at Yinzhen and said, "I, Li Jiayouran, the daughter of Shuerdeku, the commander of the Qingche Commandery, pay my respects to all the queens. May all the queens be blessed. May Youran greet the Ninth Prince. May the Ninth Prince be blessed. May the Ninth Lady be well."
Concubine Rong smiled silently, letting go of the obsession in her heart. Now she was watching the show leisurely in the palace. It felt really good. This Li Jiayouran still had not cultivated enough. She did not know how to hide what she was thinking. Her desires were too strong, or she was ambitious!
Based on her behavior, even if she could enter the Ninth Prince's backyard, she would definitely not be able to become a concubine, or even a concubine. How could she be a royal prince when she danced in public and seduced so directly?
Even her sister's concubine did not dare to do so at first, and could only play the piano for the prince. As for others, her sister, Li Jia, did not dare and could not!
At this moment, the sound of whips rang out, and Kangxi walked in following the eunuch's voice. In fact, he had come just now, but Kangxi didn't know who he learned it from. He also liked to watch the show, or he liked to watch secretly from behind!
Now that you’ve read this, it’s time to come in!
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted, "…paying respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
They all knelt down!
Kangxi walked past Li Jia leisurely, glanced at her, and quickly stepped forward to help the imperial concubine up. "No need to be polite, everyone, get up. Today is Xiaojiu's birthday, and I am here to join in the fun. Don't disturb Xiaojiu and your happiness."
Everyone responded with a smile, although no one heard it. Yinzhen, who was sitting next to him, responded as soon as he sat down: "Father, you are embarrassing me. I am so happy that you can come. If you had come a quarter of an hour earlier, I would have seen people dancing. It's the sister of the Crown Prince's second brother's concubine, Li Jia. She plotted against my wife and my fifth sister-in-law, and then asked her family to send her sister to me. Not only did she make trouble for my wife, but her eyes are almost falling on me. However," just after Li Jiayouran and Li Jia's family changed their faces, Yinzhen continued, "It's also great that my son can earn 600,000!"
Kangxi's expression did not change. He had been prepared for this. He looked at the prince and said, "Baocheng, look, your concubine has sent 600,000 yuan to Xiaojiu. Don't be greedy. But I am a little greedy for that money."
The prince stood up and said, "Your Majesty is right. I don't have so much silver. I will give this silver to my ninth brother. When the time comes, I will pester him to treat my brothers more often." Then he walked out of his seat and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have already found out about the matter of my concubine instigating my fifth and ninth brothers' wives." Then he winked at He Zhu beside him and asked He Zhu to hand a memorial to Wei Zhu.
Kangxi glanced at them and said, "Hurry up and get up. It's not your fault. It's just that your concubine took advantage of giving birth to two princes and got too arrogant. So I'll punish you accordingly. This is your Yuqing Palace's business. You can handle it yourself. Today is your ninth brother's birthday, so don't let him off." After watching the prince sit down, he looked at Shuer Deku who had already knelt down to apologize, "Who's kneeling there?"
"Your Majesty, I, Shuer Deku, apologize to you." Shuer Deku knelt down and took a few steps forward, knocking his head tightly on the ground. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I... I don't know what the concubine did, but now my little daughter is obsessed with the Ninth Prince. I was confused for a moment and wanted to use the Ninth Prince's birthday to fulfill my little daughter's love. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
