Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 276 Ginseng Chicken Soup
"What a bunch of slaves who lied to others. The Ministry of Internal Affairs quoted thirty taels of silver for an egg that was only worth two cents a piece. You didn't report such corruption until today." Kangxi was sitting at the imperial table in Dongnuan Pavilion. Behind him, looking at the report presented by the people below, he swept away all the paperweights and inkstones on the imperial table in a rage.

Everything fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

The princes and ministers who were called to Dongnuan Pavilion all knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

Liang Jiugong could only stay beside Kangxi and did not dare to make any noise.

Kangxi's anger kept rising when he remembered that he had been fooled by the group of servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few decades.

"Please calm down the emperor's anger. Fortunately, the emperor is aware of everything and orders a thorough investigation. As long as the emperor gives the order, I am willing to take charge of this matter." Prince Yinreng was the first to ask for the order.

The eighth prince Yinsu also pleaded guilty and said: "This matter is also the fault of my son. My son once served as the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was unable to find out the cause. I also ask the emperor's permission to allow my son to take away his merits."

"Check, check, these things must be thoroughly investigated. No one can be spared." Kangxi sat on the dragon chair and looked at his son and ministers kneeling below.

Kangxi circled the eighteen tourmalines in his hand irritably for a few times, and then ordered: "This matter will be handled by Prince Yinfeng, with the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the eighth elder brother Yinhu as assistants. Others should also assist in this matter." No matter who is involved in this matter, I will not forgive him lightly."

"Come on, I accept your order." "Come on, I accept your order." The prince and the ministers kowtowed quickly.

Kangxi waved his hand, closed his eyes and calmed down and said: "Salute, please get up and leave. Please prepare a charter for these matters as soon as possible."

"Come on, please leave." Prince Yinreng quickly bowed and left.

The others also quickly bowed and left.

Liang Jiugong, who was waiting on the side, walked to the door of Dongnuan Pavilion with great discernment and opened the door.He politely sent everyone out, and arranged for the minions to come in and clean up the mess on the ground.

Liang Jiugong was standing at the door arranging everything when he saw Wanxian walking in carrying a food box.

"Empress." Liang Jiugong quickly came to Wanxian's side and whispered his greetings.

Wanxian also asked in a low voice: "Are the brothers and ministers gone?"

"Yes, elder brother and the adults have all retreated." Liang Jiugong reported back.

Wanxian nodded and said, "Where is the Long Live Lord?"

"To tell you the truth, Master Long Live is inside." Liang Jiugong said politely.

Wanxian said kindly: "I know. I will go in."

"Hey." Liang Jiugong knew that at this moment, Long Live Master needed the comfort of Concubine Shu.So he carefully waved his hand to the servants who were cleaning up in the palace.

The servants quickly and carefully followed Liang Jiugong out of Dongnuan Pavilion.

Wan Xian tiptoed to the royal table and placed the food box on the royal table softly.Then he carefully moved closer to Kangxi.

Wanxian looked at Kangxi who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and she felt distressed and nestled beside Kangxi.

Kangxi, who had his eyes closed, didn't need to open his eyes to know that it was Wanxian, and stretched out his hand to pull Wanxian into his arms.Holding the little person in his arms and smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from the little person in his arms, Kangxi's heart instantly calmed down.

"Long live the Lord." Wanxian put her head on Kangxi's shoulder and called out softly.

"Be good." Kangxi seemed very satisfied with the tranquility at the moment. After kissing Wanxian's little face, he leaned on the dragon chair.

Wanxian didn't say much, she just reached out and gently rubbed Kangxi's temples.

After Wanxian pressed Kangxi's temples clockwise for a moment, Kangxi opened his eyes and took Wanxian's little hand that was still massaging. "Where did you learn it? It's pretty good." Kangxi said and kissed Wanxian's little hand.

Hearing Kangxi's praise, Wanxian was so happy that she seemed to fly to the sky.He said happily: "Pressing these temples can promote blood circulation in the head and help relieve your fatigue, Lord Long Live. I thought that Lord Long Live you have been busy lately and you must be tired. So I followed the Taiyi's medical advice."

"What a good boy." Kangxi praised Wanxian without hesitation.

Wanxian's face turned red, and she shyly hid in Kangxi's arms. Her fingers kept touching the longevity pattern on Kangxi's chest.

Kangxi touched Wanxian's shoulder and let Wanxian do what he wanted in his arms.

"Oh, right." Wanxian finally broke away from Kangxi's tenderness, straightened up, and wanted to pull the food box on the imperial table.

Kangxi reluctantly let go of Wanxian and looked at Wanxian quietly.

Wanxian hurriedly opened the food box and took out a cup of ginseng chicken soup.

Wanxian handed it to Kangxi in a playful manner and said, "I know that Lord Long live you have been working hard recently, so I specially stewed a cup of ginseng chicken soup to refresh you, Lord Long live." "Okay, come." Kangxi took the chicken soup. , and pulled Wanxian to sit down.

Wanxian half-sat beside Kangxi, looking expectantly at Kangxi drinking soup.

Kangxi held the soup cup in his left hand and put a spoonful of soup into his mouth with his right hand.

"Long live Lord, does it taste good? In order to highlight the original taste, I only added ginseng and chicken, and seasoned it with salt." Wanxian couldn't wait to hear Kangxi's evaluation.

"It tastes good." Kangxi said and drank another spoonful.

Wanxian virtuously took out the handkerchief tucked into her sleeves and wiped the corners of Kangxi's mouth.He said: "It tastes good, so drink it all. I know you have a poor appetite, so I only gave you a small cup and a calf. You can use it all, okay?"

"Okay." How could Kangxi live up to Wanxian's kindness.After taking a few mouthfuls, Kangxi took another spoonful and handed it to Wanxian's mouth.

Wanxian quickly declined: "This is the stew that I made specially for you, Lord Long Live. What's the point of drinking it?"

Kangxi still insisted on feeding Yu Wanxian and said: "Since it is for me, then whatever I say will be whatever I say."

Seeing that she couldn't resist Kangxi, Wanxian drank the chicken soup.After finishing the drink, he said coquettishly: "I've drank this, I'll use the rest."

"Okay." After Kangxi saw Wanxian take a bite, he quickly used up all the soup and meat in the cup.

Wanxian wiped Kangxi's mouth with a handkerchief, and while wiping it, she said, "Long live the Lord, my slave will make you a cup of old duck soup tomorrow, okay?"

Kangxi took the handkerchief from Wanxian's hand and threw it on the imperial table.He hugged Wanxian and said, "Why bother with this? Just ask the imperial chef to do it. As long as it's from you, I'm happy."

"That's different. What the imperial chef cooks can't compare with the slave's heart. The slave just likes to cook for you, Long Live Lord." Wanxian complained unconvinced.

"I just feel sorry for you. As long as you are happy, I will do whatever you want." Kangxi put Wanxian into his arms and said dotingly.

"Then I will give it to you tomorrow when no one is around, so you have to use it." Wanxian put her face in Kangxi's arms and said coquettishly.

"It's all up to you." Kangxi touched Wanxian's temples and said with a smile.

While the two were having fun in the palace, Liang Jiugong outside Dongnuan Pavilion was receiving the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who had just left Yuqing Palace.

"Liang Shuda, is Huang Ama here?" Fourth elder brother Yinzhen asked Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong cupped his hands and said, "As for Fourth Brother, Long Live Master is inside."

"Please tell Shuda that Yinzhen needs to see you for something." Yinzhen said politely.

"This." Liang Jiugong thought that Wanxian was a little hesitant inside, but seeing Yinzhen's solemn face, he still had the courage to shout inside: "Long live Lord Qi, Fourth Brother, please see me."

Kangxi, who was inside, was holding Wanxian and sitting quietly. He was not annoyed when he heard Liang Jiugong's report.He ordered outside: "I know, let him in."

After giving the instructions, Kangxi said to Wanxian: "You go over first. I'll go back when I'm free."

Wanxian nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take my leave." Wanxian said, putting the soup cup into the food box, holding the food box and bowing before leaving.

When passing by Si Age, Si Age bowed to Wan Xian politely.

After Wanxian returned the gift, she left Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Yinzhen, what brings you here?" Kangxi asked as he looked at Si elder brother Yinzhen who stepped forward.

Fourth elder brother Yinzhen opened his clothes, knelt on the ground, and reported back: "I am reporting to the emperor, I am here to ask for my resignation. I want to resign from my position as an assistant to investigate and handle the major wrapping case."

"Oh, why?" Kangxi stared directly at Si Age who was kneeling on the ground.

"My son's maternal clan is the Wuya clan of the Baoyi clan. In order to avoid suspicion, my son came here to ask for his resignation." Yinzhen reported the truth.

After Kangxi sighed, he said earnestly: "Yinzhen, you are worrying too much. Since I asked you to assist the prince, I naturally have my considerations. As for the Wuya clan, I still know about it. Don't worry, even if I really investigate Whatever happens, it will only have something to do with your fourteenth brother. Not you. Just go ahead."

"Come on. I obey the order. I retire." Fourth elder brother Yinzhen kowtowed to Kangxi and then withdrew.

Kangxi looked at the leaving figure of Fourth Elder Brother and sighed softly.
