Four Lords dote on his wife daily

"Pocket watch?" Ming Xi looked at a golden pocket watch in the brocade box with a very shocked expression.

"This is a Western watch." Fourth Master picked up the pocket watch and lightly pressed a small button next to the pocket watch. With a click, the pocket watch opened, revealing the Roman numerals on the surface.

"I know this, I've seen it before." Have pocket watches appeared by this time?

"This pocket watch was brought over by Western missionaries, and they use this Western watch to keep time." Fourth Master pointed to the Roman numerals on the surface, and explained to Ming Xi in great detail how to read the time on the pocket watch.

Ming Xi really wanted to say that she knew the time on the pocket watch, but seeing Fourth Master teaching her how to read the watch so earnestly, she pretended not to know and listened carefully to Fourth Master's explanation.

"Understand?"

Ming Xi nodded slightly: "Understood."

The fourth master immediately tested Mingxi: "What time is it?"

"It's nine forty-three."

Seeing that Mingxi answered correctly, fourth master was slightly surprised, and then teased: "When did you become so smart, you can learn it as soon as you learn it?" He learned this Western watch from missionaries several times before he learned it.Unexpectedly, Xi'er, a girl, learned it in one go, which really surprised him.

Ming Xi raised her chin slightly, her expression very proud: "I've always been smart!"

Fourth Master handed the pocket watch in his hand to Mingxi, with a gentle smile on his face: "Xi'er, happy birthday!"

After receiving fourth master's birthday blessing, Ming Xi only felt that her heart was soaked in a honey jar, it was so sweet.

"I like the gift very much, thank you, Master!" This was the first time she received a birthday present from Fourth Master, and her heart was sweet, happy and satisfied.

Seeing the sweet smile on Ming Xi's face, Fourth Master couldn't help but look at her with more gentle eyes: "One year older, I will be more obedient in the future!"

"When will I be disobedient?" She has always been a good baby, okay?

"Unfortunately, I don't have time to help you celebrate today." The Gold Awarding Festival is the most important day for the Manchus. Naturally, the whole day is celebrated on this day, so the fourth master has no time to help Mingxi celebrate her birthday, which makes the fourth master feel a little apologetic After all, this is Ming Xi's first birthday after being with him.

"I'll give you a good celebration when you return home."

Mingxi was very moved by the words of the fourth master. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I have already received the birthday gift from the master." We spent the Golden Festival together, which was very lively. "It doesn't matter if you celebrate or not."

Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master felt that she was getting more and more cute, so he raised his hand and gently pinched the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "My Xi'er is really cute."

Ming Xi grabbed Fourth Master's hand, rubbed his face against his palm, and said coquettishly: "I'm so obedient, Master, you should love me more in the future."

The soft touch from the palm of the hand made Fourth Master's heart soften: "Okay!"

Hearing that Fourth Master agreed, Ming Xi immediately gave Fourth Master a bright smile: "Master is the best!"

Hearing the elder brother calling him, the fourth master gave Mingxi an apologetic look: "I have to go, I'll see you in the afternoon."

"Okay, sir, don't get drunk."

Because of Ning Gege's incident, fourth master was very conflicted and disgusted with getting drunk.

"Don't worry, I won't get drunk again!" He will never get drunk again in the future, so that others can take advantage of it.

Seeing that Fourth Master frowned slightly with a displeased look on his face, Ming Xi knew that he must have thought about Ning Gege climbing into his bed while he was drunk that night.

"Master, today is the holiday, you have to eat more delicious food for me!" With such an important festival as the Golden Festival, there must be a lot of delicious food in the banquet in the palace today, but unfortunately she is now injured and can't eat many things , It's really frustrating.

Hearing this, fourth master couldn't help but laugh: "You girl..." This girl is really obsessed with eating.

Ming Xi pursed her lips, looking at Fourth Master pitifully and aggrievedly.

Fourth Master's heart softened by Mingxi's pitiful little eyes, and he nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll eat a little more for you."

Hearing what Fourth Master said, Ming Xi immediately showed a happy smile on her small face.

"Master, you've lost weight these days. You have to eat a good meal today and try to gain some weight." Since the assassin incident, Ming Xi felt that the fourth master had become more stable and his aura had become more restrained. .How should I put it, it seems that fourth master has grown a lot overnight.

"You've lost weight." Fourth Master looked at Ming Xi's skinny face, feeling very distressed. "When your injury is healed, you have to make up for it."

"I think it's okay." She was a little chubby before, but she lost two laps after the injury this time, which made her figure better.

Fourth master didn't say anything more: "I'll go first, you take care of yourself."

"Master, go slowly!" After Ming Xi saw off Fourth Master, she took the pocket watch that Fourth Master gave her to look around. "With it, it will be much more convenient to check the time in the future." She has been in this era for more than ten years, and she still doesn't know how to tell the time.

"Ci Fujin, Western watches are rare, and there are not many in the entire palace." Aunt Zhou said with a look of surprise, "This Western watch should be a gift from Long Live Lord to Lord Belle, and Lord Belle should only have this one." , I didn’t expect Lord Baylor to give it to you.” After finishing speaking, he added, “Lord Baylor really dotes on you!”

Ming Xi said with a smile all over her face: "I know that." She always remembered how kind the fourth master was to her.

Aunt Zhou has been serving Mingxi for a while, and it is no surprise that she loves Fourth Master more and more.

Ming Xi put away her pocket watch, looked at Aunt Zhou and asked, "Fu Jin, are you here today?"

"If Fujin came, he would definitely come to visit you, but Fujin hasn't come to visit you until now, I'm afraid he didn't come." Aunt Zhou said, "Go and ask."

"Go."

Aunt Zhou went to the front hall and asked the little maid guarding the door.

Seeing Aunt Zhou came back, Ming Xi asked curiously: "Has Fujin come?"

"Fu Jin didn't come, but I heard from Defei Empress that Fujin is ill and it's inconvenient to come to the palace."

Ming Xi said with a meaningful smile: "Fu Jin really provoked Fourth Master Mao this time." On such an important festival as the Gold Awarding Festival, Fourth Master did not let Fujin come to the palace, which shows that Fourth Master was really angry with Fujin this time .

"Fu Jin is also self-inflicted."

"That's why she's a bit out of her mind." For the sake of a "virtuous" reputation, stepping on fourth master's thunder time and time again, making fourth master unhappy, doesn't she feel that the gain outweighs the loss.

"Perhaps in Fujin's heart, a virtuous reputation is more important than fourth master's love for her."

"I don't know if she won't regret it now."

At this time, Fujin, who was staying in Lord Baylor's mansion, naturally regretted it, but it was no use regretting any more.

Fujin knew that this time she really angered Fourth Master, not only lost the power to manage the mansion, but also couldn't enter the palace to celebrate the gold festival, which hit her very hard.It made her feel regretful, fearful and uneasy.

"Fu Jin, you haven't eaten since yesterday. If you go hungry like this, your body will be starved to death. You should eat a little today."

Fujin waved his hands, and said with a sleepy expression: "I have no appetite." She really didn't expect Baylor to be so angry!Ning's looks are not ugly, it's only natural to serve Lord Baylor, I really don't understand why Lord Baylor is so angry?Could it be that Lord Belle will only favor Qi Jia from now on, and won't touch other women?

"Fu Jin, you've starved yourself to death, what should Elder Brother do?" Seeing that Fujin would not listen to persuasion, Mammy Zhao had no choice but to impress her with Eldest Brother.

Thinking of his son, Fujin was slightly stunned, and then his eyes became firm.

"Yes, for the sake of big brother, I can't fall down."

Seeing that Fujin had recovered a little bit, Mother Zhao quickly said, "Fujin, hurry up and eat something."

Fujin nodded slightly: "En." Fujin really had no appetite, so he forced himself to eat a small bowl of rice.

Seeing that Fujin only ate such a small amount of food, Mother Zhao felt very helpless, but she knew that no matter how much she persuaded, Fujin would not eat more.

"How is Ning's?" At this time, Fujin was still thinking about Ning Gege.

"Stopped in his own room."

"Have you sent her any tonic?"

"Early this morning, the girl in the front yard gave Ning Gege a soup to avoid children."

Hearing what Mother Zhao said, Fujin frowned slightly: "Master Belle hates Ning Shi so much?" Besides, after Ning Shi served Master Belle well all night, Lord Belle wouldn't dislike Ning Shi so much.

"Perhaps Ning Gege didn't serve Lord Baylor well."

"For the sake of safety, you will send someone to deliver a bowl of tonic to Ning's later." Although Ning Gege was given avoidance soup by the people in the front yard, Fujin was still worried, fearing that Ning Gege would become pregnant, so Madam Zhao asked Mammy sent a bowl of tonic to Ning Gege, making it impossible for her to conceive at all.

"The old slave will do it right away."

"How about Wang's side?"

"Very honest."

Fujin looked thoughtful: "Leave her alone, and look for her later."

"Yes." Zhao mama suddenly thought of Li Gege, and her expression became a little strange. "Fu Jin, where is Li Gege?"

When Li Gege was mentioned, a sneer flashed in Fujin's eyes: "Mr. Li is just pretending to be honest for the time being, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Are Li Gege allowed to do this?"

Fujin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile: "When Mrs. Qi Jia returns home, Mrs. Li will reveal her true colors." Fujin naturally knew what Mrs. Li was thinking.

"Fu Jin, this is the best time to get rid of Li Gege." Mammy Zhao felt that there was no need to wait for Fujin to come back and let Fujin deal with Li Gege.

Fujin said with deep meaning: "I prefer dogs to bite dogs." The dog bites dogs in Fujin's mouth refers to Mingxi and Li Gege biting each other. "Besides, during this period of time, I can't do anything, so that Lord Baylor will calm down with me." She had to find a way to calm Lord Baylor and regain the power to manage the mansion.As a Fujin, she doesn't have the right to manage the entire Lord Baylor's mansion, and rumors spread that her face is gone.

Zhao Nanny comforted: "Fu Jin, Lord Belle was only angry for a while, and he will calm down soon, and let you manage the mansion again."

"I hope." Fujin didn't feel that she was wrong, but the fourth master was angry, so she had to find a way to stop the fourth master from being angry with her again.Losing the power to manage the mansion is like losing the most important thing to her.

Nothing is more important than holding power.

It doesn't matter if Fourth Master doesn't dote on her, as long as she holds the power to manage the mansion.

Some time ago, Fujin looked away.She prefers to have more rights than to be favored by fourth master.As long as you hold the power firmly in your hands, no one can do anything to her.When the power in her hands is getting bigger and bigger, even the fourth master can't do anything to her.

"Gege, please eat something." Baimei looked at Geng Gege pleadingly, "You vomited what you ate during this period, and you hardly ate anything. If this continues, what will happen to the child in your stomach?"

When mentioning the child, Geng Gege's eyes became gentle for an instant, and he raised his hand to gently stroke the protruding belly.

"I really don't have an appetite." During this period of time, she had severe morning sickness, throwing up whatever she ate, even drinking water.

"Gege, this servant knows that you don't have much appetite, but for the sake of the child in your belly, you have to eat something even if you are struggling."

After hearing this, Geng Gege nodded slightly: "Okay, get me something to eat."

Baimei had asked the dining room to make some light and easy-to-digest food for Geng Gege.

Geng Gege suppressed his nausea and ate a bowl of white rice porridge.Fortunately, I didn't spit it out this time, I just retched a few times.

Seeing that Geng Gege didn't vomit this time, Baimei breathed a sigh of relief, "Gege, you don't vomit much after eating now, and you should be able to eat normally after a while."

Geng Gege nodded with a pale face: "Yes." In order not to make Fujin suspicious, she has been eating spicy food since she revealed that she was pregnant.In fact, she can't eat spicy food, and prefers sour food.However, a sour girl, she couldn't let Fujin know that she was pregnant with a son.

"Ge Ge, you... have been wronged." Ge Ge obviously wanted to eat sour food, but in order not to be suspected by Fujin, he chose to eat spicy food that he could not eat.If Gege had eaten something sour, he might not have vomited so badly.

Hearing what Baimei said, Geng Gege was slightly taken aback, and then smiled wryly: "For the sake of the child, what kind of suffering is this?"

"But, Gege... Do you really want to listen to Fujin?" Baimei frowned tightly, with a very worried expression on her face, "Ce Fujin almost died this time to save the empress dowager, her status is different from before, Even Fujin dare not attack Fujin. You..."

Geng Gege knew what Baimei wanted to say, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know." Now Fujin is the empress dowager's savior, and is deeply loved by the empress dowager and the emperor, not to mention Fujin, even if it is seen by the nobles in the palace Fujin will give three points of courtesy.

"Gege, you'd better not listen to Fujin." Baimei persuaded, "You see that Fujin has been taken away from the management of the mansion, how can he compare with Fujin? If you listen to Fujin, start to deal with Fujin, I'm afraid...not to mention the child in your womb, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it yourself." Baimei didn't want to see Geng Gege die in vain.

Geng Gege didn't understand what Baimei said, but...she was really afraid of Fujin's methods.But... Chuan Fujin is not easy to mess with.

"My servant thinks that Fujin is better than Fujin." No matter how you look at it, Fujin is better than Fujin. "Gege, think again, don't die for Fujin in vain."

Geng Gege nodded with a serious expression: "I see." Before Fujin returned home, it was time for her to think about it.

Seeing that Geng Gege listened to her words, Baimei didn't persuade her anymore.

Mother Zheng took over the management power of the mansion, so naturally she couldn't do nothing.Today is the Gold Award Day, so she naturally wanted to make good arrangements for Fujin to sit down with Ge Ge in the mansion to celebrate the Gold Award Day, but Fujin refused on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Li Gege thought that he had to take care of the second elder brother and Da Gege, so he also refused to celebrate the gold festival with everyone.As for Song Gege and the others, they didn't celebrate when they saw Fujin. Where did they dare to celebrate, they naturally all refused.

Today is the Gold Awarding Festival, the most important festival of the Manchus, but there is no festive atmosphere in Lord Belle's mansion.Perhaps it was because of Fujin's illness that the atmosphere in the whole mansion was somewhat depressing.

Seeing that Fujin and the others were unwilling to celebrate, and did not force them, Madam Zheng let the servants in the mansion celebrate by themselves.

Compared with the desolation in Lord Baylor's mansion, the palace is very lively and festive.

Kangxi, his sons, and ministers of civil and military affairs watched plays and juggling together.The empress dowager, the concubines in the harem, and the wives also watched the play together.

And Ming Xi was lying on the couch, reading the script, eating fruits and snacks, and listening to the gossip about the harem from the little maids.

"It's a pity that Er Niang didn't have an order, otherwise I would have seen Er Niang." Today is her birthday, and Ama Er Niang and the others are afraid that they will miss her.

"If Cian Fujin misses his wife, he can tell the empress dowager directly, and the empress dowager will probably agree to let his wife come to see you in the palace."

Ming Xi shook her head and said: "Forget it, I'm not from the palace after all, it's against the rules to always invite Er Niang to the palace." She didn't want to get carried away by relying on herself to save the imperial grandmother.

"What Chuan Fujin said is true."

Ming Xi didn't say anything more, and continued to read the script.

During lunch, Ming Xi first received the dishes from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and then received the dishes from the harem concubines.

Although Ming Xi did not attend the banquet of the Gold Award Festival, the food was not bad.

After lunch, Mingxi asked Aunt Zhou to help her take a walk in the yard, and after walking for a while, Fourth Master came.

Seeing Ming Xi staring at his face, fourth master felt a little embarrassed, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong, is there something on my face?" After speaking, he reached out and touched his face.

"No, I'm checking to see if Grandpa has drunk too much."

"I didn't drink much at noon." The fourth master refused the toast from many students because he was not feeling well.

"It doesn't matter if you drink it, I've already had people prepare hangover soup for you."

Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master felt warm in his heart, raised his hand and gently scratched the bridge of Ming Xi's nose: "My Xi'er is really caring."

"That is." Ming Xi said proudly.

"Have you eaten the food given by the emperor's grandmother and Huang Ama at noon?"

"Eat it, it's delicious."

"Gluttony."

"No way." In fact, His Royal Highness also gave Mingxi a dish, but Mingxi thought it was disgusting and didn't eat it, so Aunt Zhou and the others ate it.

"Master, let me tell you..." Ming Xi tugged on Fourth Master's sleeve to make him lower his head, then leaned into his ear and whispered something.

After listening to Ming Xi's words, Fourth Master couldn't help laughing: "You are quite courageous."

Ming Xi glared at Fourth Master angrily: "Could it be that Master wants me to eat it?"

"No, you did the right thing!" The fourth master didn't expect His Royal Highness to still miss Ming Xi, which made him very uncomfortable.

Only then did Mingxi smile with satisfaction: "I'm smart."

Fourth master praised: "My Xi'er is really smart."

Ming Xi held Fourth Master's arm, while walking slowly, talking about some interesting things that happened in the palace.

Fourth Master accompanied Ming Xi for half an hour before leaving the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

On the way back to the luncheon, I met Longkodo.

Seeing Longkodo, fourth master had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he called out with a normal expression: "Uncle!" Longkodo is the younger brother of the former queen, and the fourth master was once raised by the former queen, so he called Longkodo "" Uncle" is not wrong.

Longkodo was also polite and accepted the "uncle".

"Did Lord Baylor drink a little too much, why don't we go for a walk together?"

The fourth master knew Longkodo's purpose in looking for him, so he hesitated for a while before deciding to accept the invitation.

"Uncle please!"

Seeing that Fourth Master did not refuse this time, Long Keduo had a meaningful smile on his face: "Let's go."

Fourth master and Longkodo did not take the main road, but took the trail. The location was relatively remote, and no one noticed them.

Longkodo doesn't like to waste his brains very much. Seeing that the fourth master agreed to walk with him, he directly stated his purpose.

Fourth Master pretended to be stupid at first, pretending not to understand Longkodo's meaning.But Longkodo didn't intend to let him go, and he said it more directly.Fourth Master could no longer pretend to be stupid, but he pretended to be panicked, expressing that he could not agree.

Long Kedo didn't believe that the fourth master was not interested in that seat at all. No matter which elder brother it was, it was impossible for him to have no idea about that seat.Seeing that the fourth master didn't dare, Longkodo didn't believe it very much, and continued to lobby the fourth master.

"Uncle, as long as the Crown Prince is in power for a day, no one has a chance." The fourth master had no idea about that position before, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too outstanding and is deeply loved by Kangxi, so it is impossible to shake his position as the crown prince.However, after discovering that His Highness the Crown Prince had thoughts about Ming Xi, Fourth Master was shocked and very angry, feeling that His Highness the Crown Prince was not as good as he imagined.

During this period of time, many ministers' followers came to look for fourth master, trying their best to lobby fourth master for that seat.It would be a lie to say that I was not moved at all.Fourth master was successfully brainwashed by those people during this period. He thought he was also Kangxi's son. Why could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be able to, but he couldn't.Besides, he is not inferior to His Royal Highness.

Behind Longkodo was Tong Jiashi, with his support, it would be even more powerful for fourth master.Fourth Master didn't expect that Longkodo would come to him at first, but then he thought that it was normal for Longkodo to come to him, after all, he was the adopted son of the former queen.

Hearing Si Ye's words, Longkodo's face was filled with joy, and he knew in his heart that Si Ye agreed in disguise.

"Lord Baylor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot sit in this seat forever."

"Why is it impossible?" Fourth Master deliberately pretended not to understand, "Huang Ama likes His Highness the Crown Prince very much, and His Highness the Crown Prince is also deeply loved."

"Lord Baylor, the emperor is in his prime and in very good health, and the prince has grown up and is developing into a prime." Although Longkodo didn't say it clearly, the implication in his words was obvious.

Fourth Master naturally understood what Longkodo's words meant, because he had heard these words countless times during this period of time.

"Uncle mean to wait?"

Longkodo nodded slightly: "Yes, wait first!"

"Uncle, why me?"

"Because you are my sister's son." Longkodo said with a smile.

Fourth master took a deep look at Longkodo, but did not give Longkodo a clear answer.

"Uncle's proposal, I will consider it."

Hearing what the fourth master said, Long Keduo was not surprised at all, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Wait for the good news from Master Baylor."

It is impossible for Tong Jia's family to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They can only choose among other elder brothers. The fourth master is the most suitable candidate, because the fourth master was once the adopted son of the former empress. With such a bond of affection, the two sides can cooperate well. .

The two separated after they finished talking, and returned to the luncheon in a staggered manner.

Fourth Master returned to the luncheon, where he was playing a game of running water cups, His Highness the Crown Prince was vigorously composing poems and lyrics, while Eldest Brother had a dark face.

It's okay for big brother to march and fight, but reading and writing lyrics...is not his strong point.Playing this game, he can only be robbed of the limelight by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing His Highness the crown prince taking the limelight, the third elder brother was very unconvinced, and made some good poems without giving in.

For a while, the third elder brother and His Royal Highness were on par.

It was his turn when the fourth master came back, and after thinking about it in his heart, the fourth master did not hide his clumsiness like before, and wrote a good poem out of his mouth, which attracted Kangxi's applause and praise.

Normally, fourth master would never show off, let alone steal the limelight from His Royal Highness, but today fourth master stole the limelight from His Royal Highness, which surprised everyone in the audience, but they didn't think much about it.

In the following time, when it was fourth master's turn, fourth master would write amazing poems.

Kangxi discovered for the first time that his fourth son was also very talented, and his poems were no worse than those of his second son.

Si Ye performed brilliantly and won the jackpot.Not only was he praised by Kangxi, but also rewarded by Kangxi.

After receiving the reward, fourth master took the opportunity to pretend to be drunk and lay unconscious on the table.

Kangxi jokingly said that he did not expect that his fourth son was also a poet, and he had to be drunk to write such good poems.

Seeing that Fourth Master would steal his limelight because he was drunk, His Royal Highness's dissatisfaction with Fourth Master dissipated immediately.The fourth brother has always respected him the most and supported him the most, how could he be against him.

In any case, Fourth Master's "drinking madness" this time allowed Kangxi and the civil and military officials of the court to see his talents.The fourth master, who has never had much sense of existence, shocked everyone this time and made everyone remember him.

After the luncheon, there will be a singing and dancing show.Kangxi felt sorry for the fourth master, so he asked Liang Jiugong to help the fourth master to rest.

Fourth master just took this opportunity to sort out his thoughts and think about what to do next.

Ming Xi woke up after a nap, and heard that the fourth master was drunk and became very popular in poetry. He wrote a lot of good poems, won the jackpot, and was also rewarded by Kangxi.

"Ah?" Isn't fourth master not drunk? Did he get drunk after returning home, and then Shixing made a big splash?

"Ci Fujin, everyone is saying that Lord Belle is very talented, not inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the third elder brother." Aunt Zhou said proudly.

"Yes." Ming Xi felt that something was wrong with this situation.According to what she knew about Fourth Master, it was impossible for Fourth Master to steal the limelight from His Highness the Crown Prince on such an important occasion with his cautious temperament.Unless... Fourth Master did it on purpose.

If fourth master did it on purpose, what was his purpose for doing this?

The answer is obvious.

It seemed that fourth master had thought about that.

Well, is this a good thing or a bad thing for fourth master?

In history, Fourth Master didn't seem to have seized the throne so early.Now that the fourth master has seized the heir in advance, will it change history?Can fourth master become emperor in the end?

The more Ming Xi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, fearing that because of her butterfly effect, the ending of Fourth Master would be changed.

"Auntie, deliver the hangover soup to fourth master yourself." Since fourth master pretended to be drunk, she would help him to make everyone think that he was really drunk.

"Yes, the old slave will pass here."

When Aunt Zhou went to see Fourth Master, Fourth Master had just woken up. When he saw her bring sober soup, he knew it was Ming Xi's intention, and his heart was filled with warmth.

After drinking the hangover soup, fourth master cleaned up and went to plead Kangxi's guilt. After all, he was drunk and lost his manners in front of the imperial court.

Not only did Kangxi not blame Si Ye, but he also teased Si Ye to drink more wine in the future, maybe he could make better poems.

Fourth master blushed from being told, and wished he could find a place to sneak in.

This matter was exposed in this way, and fourth master's goal was achieved.

Not long after, the dinner party began.

Fourth master didn't dare to drink anymore, fearing that he would lose his composure again, but elder brother was unwilling to let fourth master go, and wanted fourth master to show off again and suppress His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

No matter how big brother tried to persuade him to drink, fourth master just refused to drink, which made big brother very annoyed, thinking that fourth master was too worthless.

When the eighth elder brother saw that the fourth master was being given alcohol, he stepped forward to help the fourth master stop the drinking.

The fourth master didn't expect that the eighth brother would help him stop the wine, and he was very grateful, and his impression of the eighth brother was even better.

After the dinner, there was another singing and dancing show.Fourth Master took this opportunity and quietly went to the Compassion Palace again.After talking with Ming Xi, he left again.

Seeing that the fourth master came and went in a hurry, and still looked like a thief, Ming Xi complained in her heart that the fourth master made them seem to be cheating.

After the singing and dancing show, there will be a fireworks show.

The Gold Festival is the most important festival of the year, so it is natural to celebrate it with fireworks.

Ming Xi stood in the courtyard of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, looking up at the fireworks not far away, her heart was full of shock.

Just when she regretted that there was no one to watch such beautiful fireworks with her, fourth master came again.

Seeing Fourth Master walking over under the bright light of fireworks, Ming Xi's eyes widened in shock and her mouth opened wide in surprise.

At this moment, Ming Xi felt that the only fourth master in the whole world was walking under the fireworks, he was hopelessly handsome!

Fourth Master walked over slowly, seeing Ming Xi staring at him bewilderedly, he couldn't help but smile: "Stupid girl, what are you doing looking at me like that?"

Ming Xi came back to her senses, and looked at Fourth Master staringly: "Suddenly I feel that Master is really pretty!"

The fourth master who was praised had a happy smile on his lips.

"You want me to praise you for being good-looking?"

Ming Xi smiled and said, "Master, if you praise me so much, I will accept it unceremoniously."

Fourth Master raised his hand and gently tapped Ming Xi's head: "The skin is getting thicker and thicker."

"Master, why are you here?" She thought that fourth master would not come over tonight.

"Come and see you before you go." Fourth master still sneaked over this time.

When Ming Xi heard this, she felt her heart was full, and a happy smile appeared on her face: "Master, you have come to see me many times today."

"En." He thought about going to see this girl again before leaving, after all, today is the girl's birthday.

"Master, watch the fireworks." Ming Xi pointed to the fireworks that were blooming in the night sky.

Fourth Master followed the direction of Mingxi's finger and looked up.

"It's so beautiful!" The fireworks of this era are no worse than those of later generations.

Fourth Master looked down at Mingxi who was standing beside him, he didn't think the fireworks in the night sky were beautiful, she was more beautiful than fireworks!

Mingxi felt fourth master's gaze, turned her head to look at him with a smile, and said sweetly: "Master, I feel very happy to have you by my birthday this year. I hope that every year on my birthday, I can have you by my side." Go!"

These words made Fourth Master's pupils shrink sharply, and then his eyes showed deep affection, he stretched out his hands and hugged Mingxi forcefully in his arms, as if he wanted to clamp Mingxi into his body.

Ming Xi lay in Fourth Master's arms, feeling Fourth Master's breath and heartbeat.

Fourth Master lowered his head, opened his mouth and kissed Mingxi's lips, his movements were very gentle.

Feeling fourth master's tenderness, Ming Xi only felt her heart become hot.

With a bang, a firework bloomed in the night, shedding golden light.

Ming Xi and Fourth Master kissed tightly under the golden light, it was as beautiful as a painting!

When fourth master left, he felt his heart beating violently, as if he understood something.

Ming Xi was so dizzy from the fourth master's kiss, she didn't even know when the fourth master left.By the time she realized it, she had already washed up and was lying on the bed.

Thinking of the kiss under the fireworks, Ming Xi only felt hot all over, and was inexplicably shy.

The Gold Award Festival ended in such a lively manner, and Ming Xi's 17th birthday also ended.

Ming Xi thought that her 17th birthday in this world would be over like this, but she never expected that the Empress Dowager would host a birthday party for her the next day.

Although no one else was invited, the people from the Palace of Compassion and Peace accompanied Ming Xi on her birthday, which moved Ming Xi very much.

Ming Xi's birthday banquet naturally cannot do without Fourth Master.

Fourth Master came over as soon as he came, and celebrated Ming Xi's birthday with him.

Although the concubines in the palace did not come to participate, there were many gifts.Even Kangxi sent Liang Jiugong to deliver gifts in person.

For a while, Ming Xi became a big celebrity.

Because Ming Xi's injury is still not healed, and her body is weak, the birthday party ended in the afternoon.

All in all, Ming Xi had a lively and warm birthday in the Compassion Palace.

After the Golden Festival, the weather in the capital became colder every day. At the end of the month, everyone in the palace put on winter clothes.

Probably because of the cold weather, many people in the palace suffered from the cold.Many servants in the Compassionate Ning Palace also suffered from the cold.

The empress dowager was afraid that the servants would pass the wind and cold to Ming Xi, so she sent Ming Xi back home to recuperate.

Ming Xi's injury has almost healed, and returning home now will not have any impact.Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted to stay Mingxi for a while longer and make up for her, but now that many people in the palace are suffering from the cold, it would be dangerous to keep Mingxi in the palace.

After staying in the palace for more than two months, Ming Xi wanted to go back a long time ago.The empress dowager asked her to go back, so she naturally would not object.

Two months ago, when Ming Xi entered the palace, she brought a few changes of clothes.However, when he left now, the whole two carriages were basically gifts from the nobles in the palace.

Fourth Master originally wanted to pick Ming Xi back to the mansion in person, but unfortunately Fourth Master also won the bid. He had a cold and a fever. The situation was serious and he had to stay in the mansion to recuperate.

Hearing that Fourth Master also had a cold, Ming Xi was very worried and urged the groom to hurry up along the way.

Fourth Master learned that Ming Xi had returned home, struggled to get up from the bed, and went to greet her in person.But before he left the front yard, Ming Xi hurried over.

"Master, how are you now? Are you still having a fever? What did the imperial doctor say?" Ming Xi felt that this cold was a flu, a viral cold, and it would not be so easy to heal.

Ming Xi asked Fourth Master many questions in a series, Fourth Master didn't know which one to answer for a while, so he smiled soothingly at Ming Xi: "I'm fine, just rest for two days and I'll be fine."

Seeing Fourth Master's pale face and weak appearance, Ming Xi's eyes were filled with distress: "I'm so sick, how can I be fine?"

"Cough..." Fourth Master hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, then took a few steps back, away from Ming Xi. "Stay away from me, I can't infect you with the wind and cold."

"Master, I have kept my body very strong during this time, so I won't be easily infected."

Fourth Master was still worried: "Hurry up and go back to Mingxu Garden."

At this moment, Su Peisheng walked in with a terrified expression, and said tremblingly: "Master, the news just came from the palace that the Crown Prince has smallpox!"

"What?!" Ming Xi and Fourth Master exclaimed at the same time.
