The Fourth Master's Dog

After Duofu was given a guarantee in the study last time, he was not so nervous when he saw the redness in the prince's room later.

What's more, these days, no matter how busy the Fourth Prince is, he will always take time to play with Duofu's car.

Duofu's anxiety gradually disappeared. Instead, he became more and more excited to see what the Fourth Prince's wife looked like. Was she as pretty as Queen Tong?

Fortunately, Empress Tong had found a wife for the Fourth Prince in advance, otherwise, given the Fourth Prince’s current situation, he might not be able to find a wife with a good family background and good looks.

Kangxi now had more children in his harem, and those little princesses and princes popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Duofu still hasn't remembered exactly how many sons and daughters Kangxi had.

Every time he tried to remember them clearly, he would add one or two more, or one or two would die in the middle, and gradually Duofu became too lazy to remember them.

The Fourth Prince is already considered pretty good. However, Duofu has heard that many princes' mothers are too low in status to support them, so they can only be sent to the Empress who has a higher status than themselves.

It's okay for some queens to not have sons, but for those who have both sons and daughters, how can they treat their princes the same as their own sons?

Take Concubine De for example, the Thirteenth Prince, born to Zhangjia clan, was raised by her.

She already had the Fourteenth Prince, so how could she have the energy to care about the Thirteenth Prince? It was good enough that she didn't harm him.

Although the Fourth Prince was given to be raised by Empress Tong since he was a child, he actually did not have a very hard life. However, because Empress Tong wanted her own child so much, she inevitably neglected the adopted child.

The Fourth Prince's food, clothing, housing and transportation were considered relatively good among the other princes since he was a child, and no one dared to treat him badly openly.

Later, Queen Tong died, and the Fourth Prince's imperial edict was changed. Although he was no longer favored by his mother and grandma, he was almost grown up and had a certain ability to protect himself. He was not like those four or five-year-old babies who could not survive in the harem without protection.

Plus, the Fourth Prince has started following the Crown Prince. Who else in the harem doesn't have eyes?

Dare to treat the Fourth Prince harshly.

When Kangxi occasionally went crazy and thought of Queen Tong, he would also have some warmth between father and son towards the Fourth Prince.

In general.

Although the Fourth Prince is almost without a father or mother now, his life is not bad.

As long as he doesn't keep pursuing fatherly love, things will be better now.

Plus, he's going to get married soon, and having a wife in the royal family almost means he's grown up and can enter the court to do some serious work.

Duofu felt that this place was becoming more and more lively day by day.

Early this morning, Duofu was dressed up by Su Peisheng to look very happy.

She was wearing a red coat with a pattern of a hundred flowers. There was gold thread on each flower of the coat. Although it looked like a hundred flowers, it did not appear old-fashioned or tacky, but had a noble temperament.

Because the flowers of the recent "Hundred Flowers and Prosperity" were painted by the Fourth Prince himself. They are both festive and elegant, and have a kind of nobility that can't be seen or touched but can only be felt.

When Duofu first got the clothes, he rolled around with joy and his short tail started wagging.

It's beautiful. There are not only various gold-thread flowers, but also two gold-thread butterflies. The two butterflies are embroidered so vividly that they seem to be about to fly out of the clothes.

Especially, its edges have not only gold threads, but also silver threads.

Moreover, his eyes are made of those gems. If you look at them for a few more seconds, they look just like the real ones.

Especially in the sunshine, when illuminated by the sunlight, it seems as if there are two butterflies flying on his body.

Duofu was put on clothes in a daze. When he opened his eyes, it was bright outside. When he was fully awake, he found that it was the light of the festive lanterns. The sky was still dark.

Duofu yawned in Su Peisheng's arms, rubbed his eyes with his paws, and planned to sleep for a while.

I could smell the fragrant egg custard at the tip of my nose. It was fresh and tender. I must have added a few drops of sesame oil to the egg custard, otherwise it wouldn’t smell so good.

Duofu planned to eat first and then sleep. Judging from the situation today, it seemed that it was time for the Fourth Prince to get married.

Duofu looked at the Fourth Prince who was surrounded by a group of palace maids. He had already put on so many pieces of clothes that he waited until he could put on the outer piece.

This one is a bit like a red prince's robe. Anyway, the main theme is festive, although it's not the bright red.

This red color is not so bright, but has a little bit of elegant red, which suits the temperament of the Fourth Prince. He has the same elegant and uncontested feeling as the green bamboo.

Duofu knew that the Fourth Prince liked chrysanthemums on the surface, and it seemed that he liked people who were as calm as chrysanthemums and did not fight or compete.

Duofu felt that the Fourth Prince must be pretending. He didn't think that the Fourth Prince had such thoughts in his heart.

The Fourth Prince does everything secretly and without fighting or competing. Whatever belongs to him, he must get it.

Where can I find such a broad mind?

Even now, seeing that the Emperor keeps doting on the Crown Prince and the Second Brother, and that the Fourth Prince occasionally has to visit his uncle for a few days, he feels depressed and has a bad temper.

Although I was able to adjust quickly, the thorn in my heart remained.

Duofu feels that the Fourth Prince is more like a little wolf cub who will never let go of any wrong he has done. If you dare to treat him badly, he will definitely retaliate against you secretly.

When Duofu first learned that the Fourth Prince liked to drink chrysanthemum wine when he had a sore throat, he was shocked for a long time.

What’s so good about chrysanthemums? You might as well like roses or something like that. At least roses are beautiful and smell good.

Later, when Duofu saw the various chrysanthemums raised by the Fourth Prince, he realized that he was very ignorant and was simply a country bumpkin who did not understand the life of the ancient nobles.

Other people's luxury is not something that he, who has not enjoyed it for a few years, can understand.

As a prince of the Qing Dynasty, the chrysanthemums he grew were not the small ones he saw now.

The ones they grow are big and plump, and each one is extremely beautiful.

Duofu couldn't describe the feeling. He was not well educated and didn't have that kind of culture.

Anyway, you know that although chrysanthemums are not as elegant as peonies, nor as beautiful as roses.

Before seeing those chrysanthemums, Duofu always thought that chrysanthemums only had a dull yellow color and had no aesthetic appeal at all. However, they had good therapeutic effects. If he drank a few when he had a sore throat, the fever would go away in a few days.

Duofu bought a can of this medicine when he was in school. He didn’t want to take the bitter anti-inflammatory medicine, so he drank chrysanthemum water for a few days, and gradually he no longer felt so irritated.

When Duofu was taken by the Fourth Prince to the greenhouse where he grew chrysanthemums, he realized that chrysanthemums were also colorful, and his eyes were reflected in the colors.

He actually saw red, white, green, and yellow, but this yellow was not dull yellow, but a yellow with a hint of gold.

As soon as you see it, it feels very precious, not like the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside.

After that day, Duofu realized that chrysanthemums could be so beautiful and could be described as elegant, gorgeous, noble, mysterious and fresh.

It was not the rigid impression he had in his mind, those small, ugly, dead yellow chrysanthemums.
