As the saying goes, the devil is one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet taller. No matter how powerful the Monkey King Yinzuo is, he is no match for his father, the scheming Buddha. As soon as they walked out of the palace gate, Kangxi received the news.

"I knew Yinzuo wouldn't behave himself. I thought sending the third brother to keep an eye on him would help, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable and actually join him in mischief. Liang Jiugong, send someone to secretly keep an eye on them. Report to me in advance when they're coming back."

Yinzuo and his friends really had a great time that day, taking a boat ride, shopping, drinking tea, and even listening to books in a library. However, all their happiness came to an abrupt end the moment they returned to the palace and saw Kangxi.

"Um... Khan Ama, how... how did you have time to come to your son's place today? Shouldn't you be very busy today? Um... Khan Ama, please listen to your son's explanation. Things are not as you think. Your son and Third Brother went out today not just for fun. Akshan, why don't you go outside and bring the things in quickly? Khan Ama, wasn't it your birthday yesterday? Your son felt that the gifts we gave you before were too perfunctory. Today, Third Brother and I happened to get together, so we thought of going to the street to pick out a decent gift for you, to make up for the regret of not being able to celebrate your birthday properly yesterday."

To be honest, Yinzuo and Yinzhi were both a little flustered when they saw Kangxi, but it must be said that as Kangxi's biological son, Yinzuo was confident. Yinzhi was still at a loss, wondering how to explain to his father later. Yinzuo had already taken the initiative to argue with his father.

Kangxi knew Yinzuo's whereabouts that day like a mirror in his mind. How could he not know how much water was in Yinzuo's words? But his old father loved to hear such words, so his gloomy expression just now softened a little after Yinzuo finished speaking. He raised his hand and beckoned Liang Jiugong to the side, asking him to bring over the pile of things Yinzuo bought. He wanted to see what things Yinzuo had bought to perfunctorily deal with him.

Yinzhi's heart was pounding with fear after hearing what Yinzuo said just now. He had paid for most of the things in that pile, and he knew very well what they were. Not to mention giving them to his Khan Ama as a birthday gift, he was afraid that he couldn't even pick out a decent one.

Of course Yinzuo knew very well what was in that pile of things, but who was our Prince Zhao? He was always taking advantage of others and was always trying to make people's hearts beat faster. When he saw Kangxi really going through the pile of things he brought back, he was not guilty at all and instead came over to introduce them to his father.

"Father, look at the goldfish painted on this rattle. It looks so much like the one we keep in the yard. Even the red dot on the tail is exactly the same. And do you remember this spinning top? You were the one who taught your son how to play it. Isn't this kite beautiful? Look at the tiger on it. How majestic it is. Doesn't it look like..."

Yinzhi was almost worried sick for Yinzuo at this moment. No, brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying? The situation is urgent, and you still have the heart to reminisce about the past with Khan Ama? If you can't come up with a decent gift later, what we just said will be deceiving the emperor...

Yinzuo's harvest from this day's work was truly varied. After he finished introducing them one by one, not to mention Kangxi, even Yinzhi, who was very nervous at the beginning, was now calm. After Kangxi listened patiently to Yinzuo's nonsense, he raised his index finger, tapped Yinzuo's forehead and asked.

"So? After all this talk, aren't these all the things you've chosen? Which one is a gift for me?"

Yes, none of the things that Yinzuo just introduced seemed to be suitable for giving to Kangxi as a gift. Seeing that he had said so much but still couldn't confuse his father, Yinzuo had no choice but to look at Yinzhi who was standing beside him.

"Alas, Khan Ama is really getting harder and harder to fool. Okay, I was just joking with you. These are actually the little gadgets that I liked. The real gift is with my third brother. Third brother, hurry up and take out the ring we picked out, otherwise Khan Ama will be anxious again."

Yinzhi's heart was really cold at this moment. He had a ring in his arms, but Yinzuo, did you forget what you said when you left today? Didn't you say you would take on all the responsibility? So this is how you take on the responsibility, right?

But at this point, the most important thing is of course to get through this hurdle. So even though Yinzhi was reluctant, he took out the ring he had carefully selected from his pocket and handed it to Liang Jiugong who was waiting on the side. Kangxi took the ring from Liang Jiugong, put it close to his eyes and looked at it carefully. Seeing that the jade ring was warm and the carving was fine, he nodded with satisfaction.

"This ring is quite good. You two brothers are thoughtful. Since there is a reason for it, I will not pursue the matter of you going out without permission today. Don't do it again next time. Yinzuo, do you understand?"

Kangxi naturally knew that the brothers were trying to fool him, but there was a saying that goes, "If you are not deaf or dumb, you cannot be a father-in-law." Moreover, seeing how they had been arguing about it for a long time, he thought that the ring was Yinzhi's favorite thing. Now that he had taken it away, he must be very distressed. This could be considered as teaching him a lesson...

Yinzhi simply didn't know what Kangxi was thinking, otherwise he would have shouted to the heavens, "Please Heaven, distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Why is it that for the sins committed by both of us, you only want to teach me a lesson..."

As soon as Kangxi left, Yinzuo was grabbed by the ear by his third brother. He had some idea of what he had just done, so he quickly reached out and grabbed his third brother's arm and apologized with a smile.

"Third brother, please let go first, okay? Listen to my younger brother's explanation. I had no choice just now, and I'm a man of my words. Since I said I would take full responsibility if we were caught, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss... So, how much silver is the ring worth? I'll give it to you, double or triple is fine."

As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. Is our Prince Cheng the kind of person who is greedy for money? You know what, he really is. After all, who would have a problem with money? Even landlords are short of money these days.

"three times?"

Yinzuo's ear is still in someone else's hands. Not to mention three times, he would have to give it to them even if it turned around again. Moreover, he had said before that he would take full responsibility if anything happened, so he answered without hesitation.

"Yes, three times. Third brother, please let go first. I will get the silver for you right away."
