Yinzuo was actually quite curious about Nalan Rongruo, but the time when he traveled through time was really wrong. It was almost the same time as Nalan Rongruo's death, so naturally he couldn't meet the greatest talent of the Qing Dynasty.
Who hasn't read the line "If only life could be as it was when we first met" in their youth? Who wasn't curious at that time about how the most talented man in the Qing Dynasty, who passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and the imperial examination at the age of twenty-two, died? In his previous life, Yinzuo had also seen many speculations about the death of this talented man on the Internet. Some said that he died of depression, and some said that he was a rare romantic who became sick with lovesickness because his wife died early and finally died of depression.
But the same old saying goes, the dead are the greatest. Even if Yinzuo was curious at this time, he would naturally not be as inhumane as his father and stab Mingzhu in the heart.
After chatting for a while, Kangxi finally realized that he had unknowingly hurt Mingzhu's sore spot, and the smile on his face faded a little.
"Let's stop here for today. I still have to teach Xiaoliu calligraphy. Mingzhu, you can leave now."
After sending Mingzhu away, only Kangxi and his son were left in the room. Kangxi was worthy of being the emperor, as he had a thick skin. The slightly awkward atmosphere when facing Mingzhu just now seemed to disappear naturally with Mingzhu's departure.
"Xiao Liu, when you came in just now, you wanted to say something to me. I saw you open your mouth when you came in, but you closed it again when you saw Mingzhu. Now there's no one else here, so go ahead and say it."
Of course, Yinzuo did not forget that he came here with a mission. He was still thinking about how to start the conversation, but when he heard Kangxi's initiative to offer a way out, he immediately put on a well-behaved smile on his face and quickly got off the hook.
"Khan Ama is indeed wise. I have a request for you. We will be leaving for the Great Wall in a few days. I would like to ask Khan Ama for a favor. Can I take my third and fourth brothers with me on this trip?"
When Kangxi saw the smile on Yinzuo's face when he entered the room, he knew that this guy might have something to ask of him. After all, this kid was always easy to guess what he was thinking. When he was in a good mood, his eyes would sparkle, and when he was in a bad mood, he would have a gloomy face. When he had something to ask of someone, he would smile very sweetly. But Kangxi didn't expect that his request would be this?
"Was this your own idea, or did your third and fourth brothers instigate you to do this?"
Kangxi actually knew in his heart that this was probably the boy's own idea. After all, the third and fourth brothers didn't have the courage to do it. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he saw the little guy's head shaking like a rattle.
"Don't misunderstand Khan Ama. This is really my son's own idea. It has nothing to do with my third and fourth brothers. Khan Ama, my third and fourth brothers are miserable. Ever since my son started studying with them, the teacher has become increasingly strict with them. The homework assigned in the past two months has been much more than before. In order to catch up with the progress, my third and fourth brothers often have to burn the midnight oil to study. They have dark circles under their eyes. I feel very guilty and often think that I am a burden to them. This time, when I learned that my son can go out and play with Khan Ama, although they didn't say anything, I can see that they are still a little frustrated. We all have a lot of homework, but at least I can go out and play with Khan Ama for some time, but my third and fourth brothers can't..."
Seeing Yinzuo lowering his head the more he spoke, Kangxi couldn't help but reach out and rub his little head, then patted his shoulder and asked him to raise his head.
"It's great that Yinzuo can still think of his brothers when he goes out to play. Khan Ama is very pleased that you two brothers have a harmonious relationship, so Khan Ama agreed to Yinzuo's request."
Kangxi thought that it was better to raise one sheep than to herd a flock of sheep. Since Yinzuo could be brought along, it would not be a problem to bring along a few more. At most, he could assign a few guards to watch over each of them. He was not afraid that these little brats would cause trouble. So he simply waved his hand and brought along all the princes in the Shangshufang.
Yinzuo obviously didn't expect that Kangxi would agree to his request so readily. He was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted, and then he rushed towards Kangxi happily.
"Khan Ama is indeed the best Ama in the world. My third, fourth, fifth, and seventh brothers will be very happy when they know this. We are so lucky. How could we have met such a good Ama?"
As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, no matter how many times it is worn. At this moment, Yinzuo only follows one word: praise.
After the task was completed in excess, Yinzuo's trip to the Palace of Heavenly Purity today was considered a complete success. Next, the father and son practiced calligraphy, while the other read a book and gave guidance from time to time during breaks. The atmosphere was so relaxed and happy that Yinzuo did not leave the Palace of Heavenly Purity until the sun was about to set.
"Sixth brother, how is it? Did Khan Ama agree?"
As soon as Yinzuo returned to the courtyard where he lived in Nansanso, Yinzhi, who had brought Yinzhen here after school to wait for him, came to greet him. He looked at Yinzuo with an eager look in his eyes that seemed to be about to overflow.
Although Yinzhen on the side was not as excited as Yinzhi, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes when he looked at Yinzuo. Yinzuo did not keep it in suspense at this time, but simply nodded to the two of them.
"We have exceeded our targets. Khan Ama not only promised to bring my third and fourth brothers with us this time, but also my fifth and seventh brothers."
Almost as soon as Yinzuo finished speaking, he could hear the cheers of his third brother. Not only was he happy himself, he even pulled the hand of Yinzhen next to him and forced him to give him a give-five.
"Sixth brother, you are truly our great hero. Although Third Brother has been raised outside the palace since he was a child, he was still kept within a deep walled compound. I have never seen what the outside world is like. This time, I have to thank you so much. Third Brother has the opportunity to go out for a walk..."
Although Yinzhen was not as excited as Yinzhi, he also had a smile on his face. He ignored Yinzhi who was so happy that he was silly, and walked straight to Yinzuo, imitating Yinzuo's previous behavior and carefully took Yinzuo's hand.
"Thank you, Sixth Brother. Fourth Brother has never left the palace in his life. This time, I can go out for a walk, thanks to Sixth Brother..."
Yinzuo was very happy when he saw how happy they were. He was so happy that he decided to spend a little money to celebrate.
"Dexi, take the money and go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare some delicious dishes. I'm happy today and want to invite my third and fourth brothers to have a meal together..."
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day when Kangxi would go on tour. Perhaps because he was about to go on a long journey, Yinzuo unexpectedly suffered from insomnia last night. He kept his eyes open until after midnight before he fell into a drowsy sleep. However, it felt like he had just fallen asleep for a short while when Dexi came to wake him up again.
"Young Master, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince are already waiting outside. You'd better get up quickly, as it's almost time to leave."
After a period of chaos, the brothers successfully reunited. When they met, Yinzuo knew that they must have been as excited as he was and couldn't sleep last night. After all, they looked excited, but the subtle fatigue in their expressions could not be deceived.
