Chapter 180 Old 8's Disdain
Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were also complaining in their hearts, wondering who leaked the news. It would be best if it wasn’t someone around them, otherwise they would be skinned alive!
Kangxi, who originally had a somewhat happy expression on his face, instantly became very unhappy when he saw the sour look on Lao Ba's face. He felt that as a father, what he had done was already good enough, and he didn't understand what Lao Bu was still dissatisfied with?
Kangxi suppressed his anger and pretended to be calm and said, "Old Eight, what's wrong? Do you think there's something wrong?"
Lao Ba: "Father Emperor, are you bored and have nothing to do?"
The hand that was about to reach out to grab the teacup was stunned. He looked at Lao Ba in surprise. He wondered what was wrong with Lao Ba?
Before Kangxi could say anything, the fourth brother beside him hurriedly said, "Eighth brother, the emperor granted you and Miss Yunyan a marriage, you misunderstood!"
The eighth brother turned his head slightly and glanced at the fourth brother. There was a meaningful look in his eyes, which made the prince next to the fourth brother feel his scalp tingling!
If it were five years ago, he would be extremely happy and grateful for this imperial edict, but now he doesn’t need it, and Yunyan doesn’t need it either. They don’t want it!
Lao Ba lowered his eyes, hiding all the emotions in his eyes, suppressed his emotions, and said: "Bring back the imperial edict, I don't need it!"
Although Lao Ba spoke softly, everyone heard it. Liang Jiugong felt that he could hardly hold the whisk in his hand and became extremely anxious. He looked at Kangxi and then at Lao Ba, wondering which link had gone wrong!
Even the prince and the eldest brother stared at their father in amazement, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears. But when they looked at their mortal enemies and saw the shocked expressions on their faces, they knew that there was nothing wrong with their ears. There was nothing wrong with their ears, so it must be the eighth brother who had a problem!
Kangxi's anger was rising, like an active volcano that could erupt at any time. But he thought that this was his son after all, his own son, so he asked him clearly before losing his temper!
Kangxi suppressed his anger and said, "Old Eight, do you know what you are talking about?"
Lao Ba: "Your decree came too late. You should have issued such a decree five years ago. But now that I am getting married, you come to take advantage of me. Do you think I will be grateful to you? I will only feel more annoyed!"
Kangxi finally couldn't suppress his anger and threw the teacup on the table. The Eighth Brother tilted his body slightly and the teacup fell in front of the Fourteenth Brother behind him. The Fourteenth Brother was so scared that he almost lost his legs!
Kangxi: "Old Eighth Prince, I see that you have become more and more complacent over the years. Who do you think you are? If I think highly of you, then you are the respected Eighth Prince. If I think less of you, do you think you can still be as glorious as you are now?"
Lao Ba showed a sarcastic smile and said, "Everything I have is the result of my own planning. What I have today has nothing to do with you. What's more, you have never looked up to me! As for your love, does it have anything to do with me? Oh, no, it does have something to do with me. After all, I am still your son, but I would rather not be!"
Kangxi was so angry that his chest started to hurt. He couldn't help but put his hand on his chest. Liang Jiugong saw this and hurried forward to help him calm down!
The prince and the eldest brother on the side saw such a good opportunity and quickly joined forces to attack the Eighth Brother. They didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Although they had always been at odds with each other, they were even more troubled by the Eighth Brother!
The prince quickly ran to Kangxi's other side to help him calm down, and at the same time scolded Lao Ba, "Lao Ba, you are too presumptuous. Do you still have any respect?"
The eldest brother: "Old Eight, I think you are asking for trouble! The emperor has done so much, what else are you dissatisfied with? She is just an orphan wandering outside, you have made enough trouble, right? You have been making trouble for so many years, what else do you want?"
The eighth brother just showed a contemptuous smile at the trap that the prince and the eldest brother had set for him!
The Ninth and Tenth Brothers were very worried. The Ninth Brother originally wanted to retort, but the Tenth and Thirteenth Brothers beside him stopped him at the same time, leaving the Ninth Brother with no choice but to glare at the Eldest Brother and the Crown Prince fiercely!
Kangxi: "Isn't this what you want?"
When Lao Ba heard Kangxi's words, he just laughed. What did he mean by "what he wanted"? What did he want? Kangxi could never figure out what Lao Ba wanted.
Lao Ba: "Father Huang, have you asked me? Did I tell you in person that this is what I want?"
Kangxi looked at Lao Ba with complicated eyes, and said with a hint of confusion: "What do you mean by this? Isn't this what you want? What do you want? Do you want this position under me?"
Kangxi's words frightened everyone, and they all knelt on the ground. Even the crown prince and the eldest brother were no exception. While kneeling on the ground, the crown prince and the eldest brother glared at the eighth brother fiercely!
Only the eighth brother was left standing there, saying with a look of disdain: "Father Emperor, don't impose your ideas on me. You think your position is so attractive, but in my opinion, it is not worth mentioning at all. I don't want it at all. Maybe I thought about it before, but I haven't thought about it since five years ago!"
Lao Ba: "Because I found that this position will make me lose a lot. I am just a mortal, and I have too many selfish desires. After weighing the pros and cons, the throne is the least worth pursuing for me! I have something more important, which is something that you, my father, don't have!"
The Eighth Elder's words really made Kangxi and the others confused and angry! They all complained in their hearts: Who said they didn't have it? It's just that they didn't want it!
As for what the truth is, only they themselves know it clearly!
Lao Ba continued, "I will send out the wedding invitations when I get married. You can come if you want to. If you don't want to come, I won't be angry. To be honest, I hope none of you will come and disturb my wedding!"
These words made people want to beat up the eighth brother. Even the fourth brother felt itchy. The ninth and tenth brothers were trying to hold back their laughter and could hardly hold it back!
Lao Ba: "Father Huang, I won't acknowledge this father-in-law. Anyway, I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of being laughed at. If you're not afraid of being laughed at, then feel free to do as you please!"
