"This thing of yours is exquisitely made, why can't you get it? I'm so shameless and want to ask you for some more." Wei Zhu said with a smile on his face.
Chu Yu also smiled and nodded, "In that case, Xiao Quanzi will go and get some of each flavor, put them in a box, and then wrap the box tightly with a quilt."
He turned back to Wei Zhu and said, "Don't be impatient on the way back. If you are wrapped up tightly like this, it won't melt away so quickly."
Wei Zhu muttered several more words of thanks.
After a while, Xiao Quanzi came back, holding a half-sized box in his hands.
Wei Zhu immediately took it and thanked him again before carrying the box and leaving the fourth master's house.
Although Chu Yu said that it would not be easy to melt after being wrapped in a quilt, Wei Zhu still hurried back.
He was a little surprised. After being wrapped in this quilt, wouldn't it get hotter?
I'm really worried that this thing will melt faster.
However, in view of his trust in Si Fujin, he did not remove the quilt.
He rushed back to the palace in a hurry. When he arrived at the entrance of Qianqing Palace, he did not go in. He found a place to put it down to see if the popsicle had melted.
I took apart the quilt outside, and when I opened the box, a bit of cold air seeped out. The popsicles were placed side by side, but they didn't melt at all.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he carried the box to his own room.
I asked someone for two ice basins and put the box wrapped in a quilt in the middle of the ice basin. I thought it would not melt for a while.
He looked at the time and thought that when Emperor Kangxi would go to court later, he would take this out and let him have a taste.
I think Emperor Kangxi also liked it. This thing is more convenient than ice bowls.
Then he happily went to work as an errand.
The fourth master has not yet entered the court, but he has already been looked at like a monkey by the civil and military officials who came to the morning court all morning.
Fortunately, Fourth Master is used to dealing with such situations. He keeps a cold face and looks forward. At this time, he blocks out all the eyes that are looking at him casually.
With his cold face, he looked like a difficult person to talk to, so those who wanted to talk to him didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, the prince came. The two were very close to each other. He stood still and whispered to the fourth master:
"How were the fourth siblings yesterday? Your second sister-in-law was very worried when she came back yesterday and kept urging me to ask you."
He said with a somewhat helpless expression, as if he was really pushed to the point of being helpless by the Crown Princess.
The fourth master also lowered his voice and said: "The prince and the princess are worried, she is fine, just rest for a while."
After hearing this, the prince opened his mouth and wanted to ask more clearly, but gave up.
At that moment, he just nodded and patted the Fourth Master twice on the shoulder. Then the two of them stopped talking and looked straight ahead.
In fact, since yesterday, he couldn't help but think about Chu Yu.
He didn't see anyone at the moment, and he didn't know whether what Fourth Master said was true or false.
When Chu Yu fainted yesterday, he was so anxious that he almost rushed over, causing Emperor Kangxi to look at him in surprise.
He thought he should think hard recently.
It's just a woman who is pregnant with someone else's child. He doesn't know why he cares so much about her?
I was a little annoyed at the moment, and my face was a little cold when I was standing in front. The fourth master and I looked like two ice lumps.
This scene fell in the eyes of the ministers in the court, and they all had their own thoughts.
Everyone knew that the fourth master had been close to the prince since he was a child, and they secretly speculated that the fourth master's recent success in winning the emperor's heart might have something to do with the prince.
Even if it wasn't for this reason, it still represented Kangxi's attitude. He was even more respectful towards the prince for a while.
After a while, all the brothers arrived. After the fourth master nodded and said hello, there was no other expression on his face.
These elder brothers looked at Fourth Master frequently.
The eldest brother looked at the fourth master in a bad way because he was not very happy.
His Fujin was pregnant for the third time, and he had never seen any extra rewards from the emperor.
But the fourth daughter-in-law's first child has not yet passed the first three months of pregnancy, and this reward is being thrown at his house.
Although the timing of this child's arrival is good, they cannot ignore their dignity.
He is the eldest son of the emperor, why is he inferior to the fourth son in everything?
Of course, he was not the only one, the third elder brother was also in a bad mood.
His wife was not given a reward when she gave birth to a child.
But he is not angry at all, because the fourth daughter-in-law is more filial to Huang Ama and should be rewarded more.
The fresh meals were delivered to the palace like water, and even he couldn't do it, let alone his own Fujin.
The fifth elder brother was not in a good mood. When he heard that other people had children, it always reminded him of the child they had just lost. That was a mature elder brother, and he couldn't help but tighten his fists.
He was extremely regretful and upset, but what had happened had already happened, and there was nothing he could do to change it at this time.
He was grateful to the third and fourth masters and planned to prepare two heavy gifts later.
If the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law hadn't taken more care of Fujin during his absence, he might have found one dead body and two dead ones when he came back.
Now that the fourth sister-in-law was also pregnant, he thought that he would tell the fourth master later to avoid following in his footsteps.
Brother Six was actually a little worried about Chu Yu, but he didn't ask. At the moment, he just stood calmly.
The others were still young and didn't have much thought. Most of them were worried about Chu Yu's health.
Because Chu Yu had a better relationship with them among the sisters-in-law, she prepared gloves and earbags for them before going out, and brought them food and other things.
It can be said that none of the younger brothers think anything bad of Chu Yu.
All of them have received gloves from Chu Yu, and they have all eaten food from Chu Yu.
It can be said that Chu Yu is their second female elder who cares about them besides E Niang.
In fact, because of Chu Yu's relationship, Fourth Master's popularity has improved a lot now.
Originally, these little boys were trained by Fourth Master on the riding and shooting range during the day, and after that, they never wanted to see him again.
But Chu Yu couldn't bear it and sent various kinds of food to the fourth master every day at noon. Between eating for free or facing the cold eyes of the fourth master, most of them chose the former.
After being in contact with him for a long time, I found that his fourth brother was actually not as cold as he appeared. Now I am really not afraid of my fourth brother's cold face.
At this time, the fourteenth elder brother was looking at the fourth master from a distance. He was young and lined up behind several brothers. All he could see was the fourth master's back.
He stamped his feet anxiously. If there weren't so many people around, he would have gone to Fourth Master to ask questions.
Seeing how anxious he was, the Thirteenth Brother beside him gently pulled his clothes and said:
"Fourteenth Brother, don't look at it. I will accompany you to find Fourth Brother later, and then we will go to the Master's Study Room together."
