Chapter 12: The hot-blooded young man is doing "Do you know why...

"Do you know why?" Qi Buchen asked.

Xie Hanshan said with some embarrassment, "I heard it from the people who delivered the food to the imperial kitchen. They didn't hear it clearly, but they heard that it was because of the homework yesterday. Our master didn't do well, and the Grand Tutor said he didn't do his best and was perfunctory."

Huh? Qi Buchen couldn't believe what he heard.

Not doing his best? Just doing it perfunctorily? Is this referring to Yinzhen? Is this referring to someone else? With Yinzhen's serious and stubborn personality, how could he possibly do something perfunctory? It must be referring to someone else, not Yinzhen.

Thinking this way, she said: "Impossible, everyone can see how serious the master is about his studies. It's definitely not our master. Maybe those eunuchs in the imperial kitchen heard it wrong."

Although Xie Hanshan believed that it was impossible for a low-level eunuch running errands to have misheard everything, he did not dare to refute Fu Jin, so he said shamefacedly: "Fu Jin is right, it's all because of me who have never seen the world and am so frightened."

"That's okay." Qi Buchen still hoped that he would inquire more in places like the Imperial Kitchen where information is most available. "Everyone misunderstands sometimes. You should spend more time with the people in the Imperial Kitchen."

Hearing Fu Jin say, "Everyone gets it wrong sometimes," Xie Hanshan felt tears welling up in his eyes. Fu Jin said he was a human being! To be honest, ever since he lost his descendants, he had often not considered himself a human being. But now, he had heard from his master that he was a human being.

"Madam, you are so kind. I will serve you wholeheartedly until death." Xie Hanshan knelt on the ground and pledged his allegiance, trembling all over.

Qi Buchen was baffled by his expression. Why was he suddenly swearing an oath? I didn't even jerk off or turn on my overlord halo, so why did you swear allegiance until death?

Qi Buchen, feeling a little frightened for some reason, quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, go down first."

Qi Buchen thought that Yinzhen's criticism was just a misunderstanding, but he didn't know that it was true. What was even more unfortunate was that Kangxi happened to have some free time that afternoon and wanted to come and see how his sons were doing in their studies. As a result, he saw the homework that Yinzhen had written absent-mindedly last night.

Immediately, Yinzhen was scolded by Kangxi, with words like "nonsense" and "unreadable" thrown at him. After the scolding, Kangxi, who was still furious, also arranged for Yinzhen to copy all the Four Books and Five Classics as punishment.

After Kangxi left, Yinzhen sat down in his seat, emitting a dark aura. But Yinzhi, who was always gloating, was so happy to see Yinzhen in trouble that he went up to tease him again: "Oh, fourth brother, aren't you usually famous for your concentration and seriousness? What happened today?" He picked up the article that Yinzhen was scolded for and shook it, "Tsk tsk, I'm not saying this, this article is really not as good as the twelfth brother's."

Yinzhi waved his fan and circled around Yinzhen. "Fourth brother, you've never been like this before. Has anything happened recently? Oh, I remember now. Fourth brother just got married a while ago. No wonder you're not focused on your studies."

Yinzhen was already in a bad mood, and now seeing that he was trying to drag his wife into this, the chill in his body grew even stronger: "Third brother, please respect yourself!"

"Hey~" Yinzhen winked and bumped into Yinzhen's shoulder, "Why should you be embarrassed, fourth brother? It's normal for newlyweds, and I understand. But your wife is still a little young, and I have some good things here..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Yinzhen's fist.

"Bang!"

As Yinzhen listened, his words became increasingly unbearable, and his anger grew stronger. Although he was young, he also knew that he and his wife had not yet consummated their marriage. If his wife spread the news that he had delayed his studies because of his affair with him, then his wife's life would be ruined.

Thinking of those timid and wet eyes like a little rabbit, Yinzhen felt that his anger could no longer be suppressed, so he took decisive action and punched Yinzhi on the nose.

Yinzhi was stunned by the beating. It was not until he felt the pain and his tears and nosebleed mixed together that he roared out: "How dare you hit me?!"

Yinzhi was also angry after being slapped in the face in public, and immediately rushed forward to fight back. How could Yinzhen let him succeed? Besides, he had been eating and sleeping well recently, and his body had become much stronger, so he easily dodged.

Yinzhi became even more angry after his punch missed, and refused to give up. Soon the two men started fighting.

Everyone in the upper study room was stunned by the sudden situation. It took them a while to react and they immediately became chaotic. Some were trying to stop the fight, some were shouting for help, and some were even chasing after Kangxi who had just left.

Kangxi was stopped halfway. When he learned that his two sons had started fighting as soon as he left, he was so angry that he almost laughed, and immediately returned to the study.

When he arrived, Yinzhen and Yinzhi had not been pulled apart yet. They were rolled in a ball on the ground, their hair disheveled, their clothes askew, and their faces covered with scars.

A place that was once a good place for reading sages' books has become like a busy city.

"Stop it!" Kangxi roared, and those in the room who had just realized he had returned immediately knelt down.

The two Yinzhens who were struggling on the ground also let go of each other, got up and knelt down.

The whole scene was silent.

"Okay, okay." Kangxi laughed in anger, his fingers sweeping across a large area, "You are truly my good sons!"

No one dared to speak.

"Tell me! Why are you fighting?" Kangxi said angrily.

As soon as the words fell, Yinzhi's tearful voice rang out: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I didn't mean it. After Your Majesty left, I thought that as the elder brother, my younger brother's academic performance suddenly declined, so I should care about him. If there was anything bothering me, I, as his elder brother, could help. Who knew, who knew, who knew that before I could finish my words, my fourth brother suddenly punched me. I was so angry that I started a fight with my fourth brother. Your Majesty, I was wrong. I shouldn't have fought back. Please calm down, Your Majesty." After that, he began to sob.

When Yinzhen heard what he said, he suddenly turned his head and stared at him.

Yin'e secretly winked at Yin'er from below: I didn't expect that third brother is so good at complaining!

Yinzhen replied to him: The Emperor is angry, you better behave yourself.

Kangxi listened to what Yinzhi said, but did not scold Yinzhen immediately. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, tell me! Why are you disrespecting your elder brother? The 'brotherly friendship and respectful behavior' that I usually teach you have all been forgotten by now!"

When Yinzhi heard Kangxi ask this, he looked at Yinzhen with resentment and complacency.

Yinzhen had not looked at him for a long time. When he heard the question, he straightened up and looked directly at Kangxi: "My Royal Highness, my third brother is full of foul language and insults me. I think he is not worthy of being my brother!"

"You're talking nonsense! When have I ever insulted you..." Yinzhi was about to argue.

"Shut up!" Kangxi shouted angrily. "Tell me, what did the Third Brother say that made you think he's unworthy of being your brother?"

Yinzhen stood straight, but he didn't know how to respond. He didn't want to involve his young wife, so he could only bite his lips tightly and said nothing.

Kangxi was furious when he saw his stubborn temper, and immediately asked without asking why: "Tenth Brother, tell me, who started it first?"

Yin'e, who was arguing with his ninth brother, was suddenly called out. He felt cold for a moment and quickly lowered his head and replied submissively, "Your Majesty, I can't see clearly, but it seems that it was my fourth brother who started it."

"What do you mean 'as if'? He was the one who started it first." Yinzhi shouted dissatisfiedly, and took his anger out on his tenth brother.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes: "It was my son who started it."

"You're still a daredevil." Kangxi laughed angrily, "Go to Fengxian Hall and kneel there. When you've reflected on your actions, you can get up again!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

In the South Third House, Qi Buchen was thinking about whether she should learn needlework from Fuyun and embroider a few purses for Yinzhen in the future to cultivate their relationship.

Xie Hanshan crawled in.

"Fujin! This is bad! Our prince has been punished by the Emperor to kneel in the Fengxian Hall!"

The author has something to say:

Yinzhen: You dare to say bad things about my wife? If I can't beat you into submission, I'll take your surname!
