Chapter 186: Startling Steps 8 Fu Jin 16
Kangxi looked at the fourth brother who appeared with an ambiguous look in his eyes. He never expected that the fourth brother would stand up.
Firstly, in his own impression, ever since he criticized Yinzhen for his mood swings and told him to be patient and prudent in everything, Yinzhen pretended to be a man of few desires, gentleness, filial piety and stability. This was the first time he saw Yinzhen so impatient.
Secondly, there was this Ruoxi. The tenth brother was devoted to her, the eighth brother seemed to treat her differently, the fourteenth brother was also worried, and now the fourth brother appeared...
What charm does this woman have that makes four princes revolve around her?
"My hands are made of flesh and blood. You two are asking for her, so how should I decide?"
Ruoxi quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I, your servant, and the Fourth Prince love each other, and I beg Your Majesty to grant our blessing."
The Tenth Prince looked at Ruoxi in disbelief. When had she ever been close to the Fourth Prince?
Then what about the Happy Birthday song she sang for herself, the paper cranes she folded for herself, and the time she spent day and night taking care of the injured self?
What does all this mean?
Ruoxi didn't dare to look up at the Tenth Prince. After all, the Tenth Prince also belonged to the Eighth Prince's lineage, and she didn't want to be imprisoned.
Since you know the final answer, why bother to gamble?
Previously, she had overestimated her own abilities and secretly felt sorry for a person like the Eighth Prince, but now she saw that the Eighth Prince was completely kicked out.
She asked herself, don't she have the slightest desire for that power?
Even if you say every day that everyone is equal, you may live a better life. Who wants to live a bad life?
Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Either Ruoxi goes to the Fourth Prince's residence to be a princess, or goes to the Tenth Prince's residence to be a concubine. It's your choice."
Deep love? Mutual love?
The difference between a princess and a concubine is not a little bit. I want to see whether you two are satisfied with each other.
Ruoxi said without hesitation, "I am willing to be a princess."
With her understanding of forward-looking history, she will always be able to help the Fourth Prince. Even if she can't be of much help to the Fourth Prince, she will definitely be able to win his heart.
He will definitely be the future emperor, and my status will only rise in the future.
Seeing that Ruoxi didn't hesitate at all, the Tenth Prince gave up completely.
After all, Ruoxi had always told herself that she only wanted to be with him for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly she was willing to be Fourth Brother's princess. How was she inferior to Fourth Brother?
Kangxi was also a little surprised, but his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
He was silent for a moment, and finally agreed, but he thought that he should send more secret guards to watch over the fourth brother's mansion.
The Tenth Prince finally chose the daughter of the Prince of Wuerjingalap as his principal wife, and chose a Mongolian wife. The Tenth Prince was naturally excluded from the pursuit of the throne.
It also shows that the Tenth Prince will not be anyone's enemy.
Kangxi always thought that this child was honest and reckless, so this was a way to keep him safe.
Minghui noticed that the Fourth Lady had a miserable look on her face after the Fourth Prince came out, but she concealed it very well in an instant. It seemed that she knew nothing about this matter.
This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was a complete success except for the fact that the Tenth Prince was distracted.
The Eighth Prince was still living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in his mansion when he heard that Ruoxi had gone to the mansion of his arch-enemy, the Fourth Prince, to become a princess?
He lost his lovely wife, his reserved concubine, and even his throne. Hahahaha, his life was such a failure.
The Fourth Prince's Residence
Ruoxi was carried into the house in a sedan chair. She felt humiliated, but she comforted herself that everything would be fine when the Fourth Prince ascended the throne.
Yinzhen pushed open Ruoxi's door and heard footsteps approaching from afar. Ruoxi's face turned red, after all, this was their wedding night.
But she didn't expect Yinzhen to lift up her aqua-red veil and get straight to the point, "Is the cement you mentioned really that magical?"
Ruoxi's eyes turned red. Wasn't he considerate at all on the first night of their marriage?
"Naturally, cement has the advantages of fast setting and hardening, good frost resistance, fire resistance and moisture resistance. As a building material adhesive, it is very useful."
Ruoxi's words made Yinzhen very happy. Doesn't this mean that various means of building bridges and fighting floods can be implemented better? The common practice now is to mix glutinous rice and mortar to make glutinous rice ash, which is used to build houses and bridges. This is costly, wastes food, and is not strong.
If what she said was true, then cement would be of great significance. Maybe with this, he could win the admiration of the people, the praise of the emperor, and even get rid of being a follower behind the prince.
After all, something happened to the prince’s wet nurse a few days ago, and the emperor was obviously angry, but he just kept it to himself. Who knows, he might explode one day.
The prince couldn't bear it any longer, right? He had to find a way to get off this broken ship that he had been forced to board.
He responded with rare gentleness, "Where's the recipe?"
Ruoxi pouted her lips, "Today is our wedding night, are you just turning a blind eye to it?"
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and suppressed his impatience, "It is my fault that you haven't eaten yet, right?" He turned around and ordered, "Gao Wuyong, serve the meal."
"Yes, I've been hungry for a long time." Ruoxi naturally took the Fourth Prince's hand and pulled him to sit next to him.
Yinzhen's eyes flickered. This Ruoxi was really unpleasant.
Gao Wuyong, who was standing nearby, was shocked to see that Ruoxi did not stand by to serve the Fourth Prince, but instead sat down and started eating by herself.
This Princess Ruoxi is really unruly. What should I do if she makes me angry?
He was about to open his mouth to remind him, but he saw his master shaking his head, so he had to retreat.
Ruoxi was eating happily, but she didn't notice that Yinzhen was looking at her with deep eyes.
After finishing the meal, Ruoxi thought about what was going to happen next and became shy for once. She only heard the Fourth Prince chuckle, and then she was carried to the bed.
After the incident, Yinzhen looked at Ruoxi's flushed face after her hard work, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and deep in his heart he was thinking of Minghui's stunning face.
Thinking about the cement recipe in Ruoxi's hand, Yinzhen calmed down. Since he wanted to use Ruoxi to get such a magical object, he would play his role well and would not hesitate to be more nice to her.
After all, women are the most soft-hearted. Coercion and inducement are useful, but they are not as good as love. As long as she falls in love with you, she is willing to do anything.
Although Ruoxi's appearance is not outstanding, she is a beautiful girl from a small family. Otherwise, he would not be able to bring himself to eat her and would feel that he was losing out.
555: It seems that selling oneself is one of his usual tricks.
Qianqing Palace
Kangxi pulled Minghui to sit on his lap, and their eyes met, full of affection.
He couldn't help but lean over and kiss her gently, snatching the breath of the person in his arms. The two of them were intimate for a while. Kangxi kneaded Minghui's wrists and waist to relieve her soreness. "Hui'er, what do you think of what happened today?"
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."
Kangxi nodded at Minghui's answer, "Yes, I think so too. I have sent someone to watch over it. By the way, the hunting trip is about to start, and Hui'er hasn't made her riding clothes yet."
Seeing the person in front of her suddenly sit up and look for paper and pen, Minghui smiled silently. She didn't know when this man developed this bad habit. Ever since he drew the draft of the phoenix robe for the queen, he always wanted to make clothes for herself.
Watching Kangxi fiddling with things at the table, Minghui raised her chin to admire him. It turned out that serious men are the most attractive.
