No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

The Fourth Master looked at his eight sons competing in a mess on the field and had an urge to stand up and leave.

Except for him, his dear father, everyone else was amused by Honghui and the others.

Even the unhappy prince almost spit out his wine from laughing.

Then who...is Hongli, right?

Unable to compete with his brother Hongshi in strength, he resorted to a dirty trick and stole his bird, winning immediately.

And those two little ones, just hugged together.

Because he was wearing thick clothes, he fell down with a thud and rolled over.

As for Honghui, he is the tallest and strongest among the eight.

As the second oldest, Hongyun becomes too lazy to move when he thinks about competing with his eldest brother.

Pulling along the not-so-smart Hongyan and the lively Hongzhou, they began an ignominious three-on-one fight.

Hongyun was too lazy to work hard, and Hongyu couldn't find a way to contribute. The three of them together were actually evenly matched with Honghui.

Emperor Kangxi looked at Bu Ku like this, and wrinkles appeared on his face from smiling so much that he didn't even dare to pick up the wine glass.

Hongxi's originally serious face couldn't hold it anymore.

It’s not that he is unkind to his brothers, it’s just that the brothers in Fourth Uncle’s family are too funny!

This game of Buku was so intense that it would take some time to determine the winner.

In the end, Honghui held on to the end with his hard power, while Hongli looked down on his other brothers with his bird-catching skills.

However, after defeating others and competing with his elder brother, he lay down on the ground on his own accord and grabbed a fruit from the prince's plate next to him and put it into his mouth.

Emperor Kangxi was arranging rewards from above, and he was chewing fruit with his little mouth puffed up.

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

Of course, other imperial grandchildren were forced to perform later, but they were all quite ordinary and not as funny as those of the Fourth Master's family.

The most important thing is that there are not as many people as in the Fourth Master’s family.

In the end, the Fourth Master became the big winner, and his eight sons received eight rewards, which was a complete win.

Lin Mingyan was still in Yonghe Palace. While she was having the New Year's Eve dinner, the news from the front came over.

"You won't ask the children to come back to the harem this year?" Lin Mingyan was a little worried.

The main problem is that Hongli is a kid who is impossible to control.

If this person gets crazy, he will really eat anything!

Concubine De was in a good mood. It was certainly a good thing for her to make her grandchildren proud.

She comforted him, "The Emperor likes his grandsons to be with him, and nothing will happen to them if they stay with him."

During the Chinese New Year, no one would make things difficult for their children, including the royal family.

Lin Mingyan agreed verbally, but what she was thinking in her heart was that next year she should at least report the quadruplets' illness so that they could have fun in the mansion more easily.

Her worries were not wrong. After all, the Fourth Master told her when they returned home.

"Hongli was begging for food at the palace banquet!" The Fourth Master's face turned black.

Hongli was a little greedy, and there were many things that children were not allowed to eat too much, so he asked his servants to control them.

As a result, he first took a piece of fruit from the prince and ate it, and then stood over and looked at the prince pitifully.

Of course the prince didn't want to eat it alone, so he gave him another one.

As a result, the kid took advantage of the Fourth Master's inattention and begged for food along the way, eating until his belly was full.

He even jumped in front of Emperor Kangxi and took food from his imperial table!

Lin Mingyan held her forehead with her hand: "Didn't Master say that I could take care of it?"

She jumped out of the quilt, wishing she could drag the little guy, who had fallen asleep on the way back, out of the quilt and give him a good beating.

I've lost face in front of my brothers, what should I do?

The Fourth Master sighed: "...Forget it, it's no use."

He actually wants to take care of it.

But the emperor obviously indulged Hongli. If he dared to touch his son, he would be beaten today.

Just eat it. If you eat too much and your stomach hurts, you will know to control your diet.

When Lin Mingyan heard him say that, she muttered, "It's just a relationship between the next generation. It's like this when you get older."

Aren’t those modern grandparents who dote on their grandchildren very powerful?

Not to mention that Emperor Kangxi was the emperor. Isn't it normal for him to want to spoil his grandson?

"Too old?" The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment and muttered.

Is the Emperor really old?

He thought about it carefully.

The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes when she smiles, the sparse white braids, and the eyes that are beginning to become cloudy.

All these indicate that the young monarch has become an old man.

Especially the Emperor’s waist, I’m afraid it’s not in good condition.

When sitting on the dragon throne, he had to change his posture after a while, as if he was extremely uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but rub his waist, but he couldn't feel any pain.

"What? Are you old too?" Lin Mingyan teased as she saw him rubbing his waist.

"If your waist is uncomfortable, ask a young eunuch to learn from Honeysuckle, and you can enjoy it too."

Ever since Jindong started serving her personally, she enjoys a full body SPA every two days, which is so comfortable.

However, the Fourth Master is not a person who seeks pleasure, and has never tried it once.

This is a good opportunity to let him relax.

The Fourth Master's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have Su Peisheng pick two clever young eunuchs to go to your place and learn first."

Since the Emperor is not feeling well, we should make preparations first.

The New Year passed quickly. Lin Mingyan played mahjong like in previous years, but the children had a lot of fun.

Because Emperor Kangxi liked it, all the emperor's grandchildren were brought to the front to play together.

Hongxi, Hongyu and Hongqing are older, so they bring the younger ones behind them to play together.

Lin Mingyan was not afraid at all that her little one would suffer a loss. After all, no matter what, how could eight people together not be able to beat them?

On the day after the New Year's Day, Hongli got up and asked confusedly, "Mother, aren't you going to the palace to play today?"

The palace became his amusement park.

After all, Emperor Kangxi doted on his grandchildren to death, giving them whatever they wanted, and their fathers didn't dare to say a word.

The children played for so many days and still felt like they hadn’t had enough.

Yaliqi was so happy that she really didn't want to enter the palace anymore.

"My elder sister and I are sitting here alone, and we're almost like wooden sticks!" She took a bite of the bun and felt very depressed.

Lin Mingyan hurriedly tried to appease the two children, who had completely different ideas: "You only enter the palace once a year. Whether you like it or not, you have to wait until next year's New Year."

Hongli was heartless and just regretted that he could not enter the palace, but fortunately he still had several brothers to play with at home.

After breakfast, he put the matter out of his mind.

But Yaliqi was still unhappy. After dinner, she stopped following Honghui and lay in her arms, sullenly saying, "Mother, why can my brothers go to the front, but not me and my elder sister?"

She studied riding and shooting with her brothers in the mansion. In fact, except for her eldest brother, she was better than anyone else.

Why is it that after entering the palace, even Hongyu, who is not as smart as her brothers, can show up at palace banquets, but she can only hide in Yonghe Palace?

Are women inherently inferior to men?
