Chapter 153 Change of Mind
Chapter 153 Change of Mind
When Thirteen and the others saw this situation, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally have a meal. They were almost starving to death. They hadn't even had a snack in the morning!
If they had known this would happen, they should have had some snacks to fill their stomachs instead of sitting here hungry and living in fear!
Under the gaze of the Fourth Brother, everyone sat obediently beside the table, waiting for Kangxi to take the first move!
Lao Ba also took Yunyan's hand and sat down. Although Lao Ba was not willing to have dinner with them, the matter was not over yet, and he didn't want to let Yunyan go hungry! So he ignored those unpleasant things!
Following Kangxi's eye signal, Liang Jiugong quickly picked up his chopsticks to pick up food for Kangxi. Lao Jiu and the others didn't see what was happening, so they also picked up their chopsticks!
Kangxi was enjoying his meal, and deep down he was thinking about rewarding the cook later. However, when he saw how intimate Lao Ba and Yunyan were, he instantly gave up the idea!
The fourth brother, who was already nervous, saw Kangxi's face suddenly darken. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that this meal was really bad for his stomach!
Although the fourth brother also felt that the eighth brother's behavior was inappropriate, he also felt that it was the most normal thing. After all, the eighth brother had done a lot of extraordinary things over the years. Now he was just picking up food for Yunyan in front of them, which didn't seem to be a big problem!
The old nine and the old ten have long been accustomed to it. After spending these few days together, they feel that even if their brother does something outrageous again, they will not be surprised!
Lao Ba didn't care about what everyone at the dinner table was thinking, he just took good care of Yunyan beside him!
Lao Ba smiled tenderly and said to Yun Yan lovingly, "Yan Er...try this bun, it's still hot."
Yunyan didn't say anything, but just ate the buns in small bites. The taste was okay, not bad, but not particularly delicious either!
Lao Wu, Lao Jiu and the others felt like they were full even though they hadn’t eaten anything yet. All the dog food was really going to fill them to death!
The married ones including Lao Wu complained about Lao Ba in their hearts, saying that he was bullying them. Didn’t he bring Fujian with him?
Even Thirteen and Fourteen couldn't help but complain in their hearts. Was their starling brother bullying them for not being married?
Kangxi suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled. When Lao Wu saw Kangxi's smile, he felt frightened and suddenly felt like something bad was going to happen.
As expected, Kangxi smiled amiably and said, "Eighth Brother, among all the adult princes, you are the only one who has not married. It has been a stalemate for so many years, and I don't want to continue. It just so happens that you have found Yunyan. Why don't you get married after a while when you return to the capital? When I return to the capital, I will directly issue an imperial decree to make Yunyan the first concubine, how about that?"
When the fourth and fifth sons heard Kangxi's words, it was like a bolt from the blue. They both looked at their royal father in amazement, not understanding why their royal father had changed his mind again.
Clearly, last night, their Royal Father told them personally that he wanted the Eighth Prince to marry Yunyan as his principal wife, so how come she has now become the first concubine? Although she is the first concubine, she is still a concubine after all?
The fifth brother couldn't understand. The eighth brother had already said in front of everyone that he didn't want to be the emperor and didn't want any power. He just wanted to live his small life with Yunyan. So why didn't he agree?
When Lao Ba heard what his royal father said, he felt guilty in his heart. He thought he could get what he wanted, but he didn't expect that he still lost in the end. Lao Ba sneered!
Lao Ba: "Haha..., haha..., hahaha..., so early in the morning, you made such a scene, just for this, haha...!"
When the fourth brother and the others saw the look on the eighth brother's face, they became very worried, but before they could open their mouths to beg for mercy, Yunyan suddenly spoke.
Yunyan didn’t know whether she should be happy or sad, but when she saw the pain in Lao Ba’s eyes, Yunyan also felt inexplicably sad!
Yunyan held Lao Ba's hand and said calmly, "Yinsi, these buns are not delicious. I remember there is a bun shop nearby that sells very delicious buns. Can you go with me to buy some?"
Lao Ba's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and he stared at Yunyan. He was extremely sad, and even more sad for Yunyan's calm appearance. Lao Ba didn't know what he was feeling, and he didn't know why he insisted on doing so.
Lao Ba felt that he and Yunyan were really not meant to be together! Although they loved each other very much, there were still too many things hindering them!
Lao Ba: "Okay..., I'll go with you!"
After Lao Ba finished speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions and directly pulled Yunyan away!
Kangxi was so angry that he almost overturned the table. He felt that he had already made such a big concession, but the Eighth Prince still didn't know what was good for him and was really disrespecting the imperial power!
The fourth child looked at all this with a headache, and said with a tone of complaint: "Father Emperor, didn't you say this yesterday? Didn't you want to help the eighth child? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Aren't you trying to hurt me? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have told the eighth child last night. He must be blaming me now!"
Kangxi was already angry, and when he heard the fourth brother's complaints, he became even more angry. He blew his nose and glared and said, "Fourth brother..., you are so bold that you dare to blame me. If I change my mind, do I need to discuss it with you?"
Kangxi: "She is an orphan, and I can personally issue an imperial decree to her, allowing her to secure the position of the first concubine. This is already a face for the Eighth Prince! Do they want her or not? If not, forget it. I don't want to bother with that!"
As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, he stood up and left angrily, leaving Lao Jiu and the others alone. Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were so angry that they were about to beat someone up!
Lao Jiu: "Here comes another one!"
The tenth brother complained to the fourth brother, "Fourth brother, you are really something this time. How could you be so quick to speak? Now that things have come to this, I am really going to go crazy!"
Not to mention the Eighth Brother, the Fourth Brother was almost mad. How could he know that his father would suddenly go back on his word? You know, this is impossible! If it weren't for his father, even the Fourth Brother would want to beat him up. It's so fucking deceptive!
The fifth brother suddenly spoke up, "Ninth and Tenth Brothers, don't blame the fourth brother for this. I was there at the time, and the emperor did agree. I don't know what happened in the meantime that made the emperor change his mind!"
Lao Jiu: "Looks like we have to check what's going on. Although the Emperor won't agree easily, it's not easy for him to go back on his word! There must be something in this that we don't know about!"
