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

Chapter 414 Flower Cake

Mingheng's marriage was settled, and if you put aside his damn reputation, he was considered to have gotten a good deal.

After this matter was resolved, Lin Mingyan felt much more relaxed.

But before she could enjoy a few days of good times with the Fourth Master, Emperor Kangxi ordered the Fourth Master to go on a southern tour!

Lin Mingyan brought people to tidy up his clothes and complained, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, why do we have to take you out again?"

To be honest, being the son of Emperor Kangxi was really tiring. There was no time for free time.

The old man believes in the idea that as long as his son can be a dragon, he cannot let his son be a bug, and he has strict requirements for everyone.

This resulted in a situation where all the sons were talented and none of them was willing to submit to the other.

Look, the Fourth Master just had the stitches removed from his shoulder injury, and he has to go out and work again.

"It's an honor," the Fourth Master took a sip of water and raised his eyebrows - it smelled delicious. "What kind of water is this?"

Lin Mingyan put down the clothes in her hand, looked back and laughed: "This is the rose tea I drank, why did you drink it?"

The Fourth Master looked at the small teapot beside him and thought to himself, I'll just pour it casually.

But I still asked, "Don't you like roses the most? Why did you make tea?"

The roses I bought for one thousand taels during the Shangsi Festival were not in vain.

Under the skillful hands of the gardener, it has been thriving in the glass greenhouse for several generations.

This flower is beautiful, colorful, and has a faint fragrance. Cha Cha loves it very much.

How could the flowers be so cruelly destroyed that they were dried into scented tea?

Lin Mingyan suppressed her smile and said, "I think Wen Xian is still in a bad mood recently. He is very depressed every day."

"I heard that roses can soothe liver and relieve depression, so I dried some rose tea and made a lot of flower cakes and sent them over."

She didn't know whether it would be useful or not, but it was a token of her appreciation.

Since it happened to be used up, she kept some for herself to try the taste.

"Oh? So this is the flower cake?" The Fourth Master looked at the small plate beside him.

There are six small cakes on the round white plate, which looks very cute.

"Yes, would you like to try it?" Lin Mingyan picked up one and handed it to his mouth.

The Fourth Master actually had no interest, but he took a bite to divert her attention.

"Hmm? It tastes good," he nodded in affirmation.

In order to highlight the natural flavor of roses, no sugar is added so it is not too sweet.

The Fourth Master likes sweet things, but can’t tolerate things that are too sweet. This flower cake is just right.

Lin Mingyan had eaten a plate of food in the morning, so she asked someone to clean it up: "There are two more boxes. Take them with you on the way."

The Fourth Master certainly couldn't ride a horse this time when he went out, so he could just sit in the carriage and eat some snacks without anyone seeing him.

This was also Cha Cha's good intention, so he agreed to take it with him.

Emperor Kangxi chose a good day to start his southern tour. Unlike the previous time when he brought a whole group of sons with him, this time he only brought three.

The Crown Prince, the Fourth Master and the Thirteenth Master are the only ones who have been favored.

The Thirteenth Master was happy because the Emperor had been taking good care of him since he had forgotten about the last marriage he arranged.

At least no matter where I go, I take him with me, and life during this period is much better than before.

Especially this year, his wife, Mrs. Zhaojia, is about to marry into the family, so he can be proud of himself.

The Fourth Master didn't care. After all, being able to come out was a favor. But for an injured person like him, it was also a burden.

The prince didn't know why, but he had a gloomy face every day and looked unhappy with everyone.

Emperor Kangxi's expression was not very good either. The father and son looked exactly like each other.

When he set out, he looked at his three sons. The Crown Prince's dark face and Thirteen's silly face were a bit disgusting.

The fourth brother’s cold face is quite interesting.

Then he thought about the fact that the fourth son was still injured. No matter how much he protected the prince, he still felt a little guilty towards his own son.

Thinking of this, he said directly: "Fourth brother, come with me, and Thirteenth brother, talk to your second brother."

The prince looked up at him and sneered in his heart.

After returning from outside the Great Wall, the servants in his palace were replaced or punished, and the most loyal ones were still lying in bed and unable to get up.

This time when he went out, he was not allowed to keep anyone to serve him.

Now he has Old Thirteen looking after him.

The Emperor is so “good” to him!

Seeing Emperor Kangxi enter the imperial tent, the prince snorted coldly and went into his own tent without any courtesy.

Thirteen's excitement had mostly disappeared at this time, and he looked at the Fourth Master with anxiety.

The Fourth Master patted him on the shoulder and watched him reluctantly enter the Prince's tent, then he calmly went to Emperor Kangxi's tent.

The bright yellow tent is fully equipped and is very comfortable even when sleeping outdoors.

As soon as the Fourth Master entered, he was given a seat and sat down politely.

Emperor Kangxi was the first to ask, "What good things did you bring? I see you carried them all the way."

The Fourth Master then remembered that the small bag in his hand contained the rose cakes that Cha Cha had brought him.

When he got off the carriage just now, he thought he was going directly to the tent to rest, so he didn't let the servant take it and brought it down himself.

Now the Emperor has something to ask him, so it’s not easy to let him go for the time being.

"We have some flowers in our house, and this cake is made with those flowers," the Fourth Master answered truthfully without any fear.

If it were earlier, he might have been a little nervous, fearing that the emperor would think he was not doing his job properly.

But now, I’m afraid the emperor wishes that all his grown-up sons would “not do their jobs properly”, right?

Sure enough, Emperor Kangxi laughed when he heard it: "You made it yourself? Let me have a taste too."

The Fourth Master did not explain. After all, since Cha Cha made it herself, it was equivalent to him making it himself.

He handed the small packet to the young eunuch serving in front of the emperor and asked him to test the poison first.

After a while, after confirming that there was nothing unusual, a box of flower cakes was delivered to Emperor Kangxi.

This pancake is white, small and exquisite, and looks delicious.

Emperor Kangxi had been thinking all day and hadn't eaten much, but now he finally had an appetite.

He ate half of it in one bite, and the fragrant and slightly sweet taste whetted his appetite.

"It tastes good," Emperor Kangxi praised generously.

Thinking of this, he actually ate a lot of the things that the fourth brother gave him as a filial gift.

And each one is very sincere, just like an ordinary father and son.

Whether it is Shenxianzui, taro balls, vermicelli or flower cakes, they are not expensive things, but they are all extremely precious.

He exhaled a breath of foul air, and the blockage in his heart was relieved a lot.

The Fourth Master hurriedly praised his daughter-in-law: "It was Niuhulu who was thinking of Wen Xian and found out that roses can soothe the liver and relieve depression, so she made it especially for Sister Wen Xian. I am just offering this flower to the Buddha."

Emperor Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and thought of Wen Xian who had suffered a severe punishment.

After returning to Beijing from the frontier, he felt bad when he saw the injured Lao Si and others.

Especially since Wen Xian not only lost his child but was also unable to have children, which was a thorn in his heart...
