New Year's Eve is here, can the first day of the new year be far behind? This year's New Year's Eve family dinner was no different from any other year, except for the absence of the 13th and 14th, who were away with the troops. It started at the hour of Xu and lasted until about 3:30 am at the hour of Hai.

After the family dinner, everyone naturally went back to their own homes to visit their own mothers, and in the true sense of the word, when Yinzuo and Yinzhen returned to his mother's Yonghe Palace, they heard bursts of laughter coming from inside before they even entered the door.

"Fourth brother, please hurry up. I want to go in and see who has the ability to make Mother so happy. Look at how loud Mother's laughter is. We can hear it clearly even before we even enter the door."

Yinzuo was the first child raised by Defei personally. Needless to say, she loved him very much. He had a clever mouth and was good at coaxing people since he was a child. Therefore, he was the only one who could make his mother laugh so hard.

Yinzhen looked at Yinzuo who was pulling him towards Yonghe Palace, sighed helplessly, and quickened his pace to keep up with him.

"Oh, mother, you seem to be in a good mood today. Come on, tell me, who is this capable person who made you so happy?"

In fact, there was no need to bother looking for him. After all, wasn't that capable person still in his mother's arms? Yin Zuo glanced at his son, walked over and pulled him up from Concubine De's arms, then pulled a chair and sat down next to his mother.

"Mother, didn't you always say that your son was the one you loved the most? Look at you, it's only been a few years, and you only care about new people. Sure enough, your son is no longer your only little treasure..."

As the saying goes, a woman's heart is as unpredictable as a needle in the sea. As for Yinzuo's performance, which he thought was excellent in singing, reciting, acting and fighting, his mother didn't even glance at him. She reached out and pulled Hongxu, who was pushed aside by Yinzuo, and held him in her arms like her darling.

Yinzuo was not angry when he failed to win favor. He looked up at the people watching the fun nearby, stood up, walked to his wife and pulled her over.

"It doesn't matter if my mother doesn't love me. Anyway, I have a wife who loves me now. I just wonder if someone who doesn't have a wife yet will cry if his mother doesn't love him anymore?"

Well, Yinzuo's words immediately confused Hongxu, who had just been nestling in his mother's arms and looking at his father provocatively. What's the matter? Are you so vengeful? You are not your mother's only little baby anymore, but I am still.

Yinzuo had been spoiled by Kangxi and his brothers and sisters over the years and had become very willful. Besides, Hongxu was already thirteen or fourteen years old now, so how could he bear with him? Seeing him looking at him in disbelief, he immediately glared back smugly.

"Alright, Yinzuo, you're already a grown-up, why are you still competing with a kid like him? Don't worry, even though you're no longer my mother's only darling, I still love you..."

Yinzuo was just teasing the child just now and had no intention of competing for his favor. Now that his mother has given him a way out, he will naturally take it.

"Alright then, since you still love me the most, then please make the red envelope for tomorrow's New Year's greetings bigger. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to feel your overwhelming maternal love..."

To be honest, at this moment, Defei's motherly heart was shaken for a moment. If today was not New Year's Eve, she would probably get up and chase Yinzuo around with a feather duster.

"Hmph, I was wondering why you started out like this today? So this is what you were planning, but I'm telling you, it's impossible. Hongxu and Hongming even remembered to copy some scriptures as a gift to me, and you? You come here with nothing and want to ask me for a red envelope, you're dreaming."

Look, isn't it time for Yinzuo to show his intelligence and talent? Fortunately, he was well prepared. Upon hearing this, he immediately took out a memorial-like booklet from his arms, walked over and placed it in front of his mother.

"Hmph, mother, you're biased and you won't admit it. Is your son a heartless person? The only reason those two brats, Hongxu and Hongming, thought of copying the scriptures to cheer you up was because they saw me copying. Mother, your son's heart is broken and cold now. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover without two big wallets."

Although she knew that Yinzuo was just acting sad, the moment she saw the scriptures, Defei couldn't help but feel an indescribable guilt in her heart. She reached out and pulled Yinzuo to sit next to her, then raised her hand and poked him on the forehead.

"You, you're already in your thirties, why are you still acting like a child? Okay, don't be so upset. It's just two red envelopes. Mother will have someone pack two big ones for you."

Should I say that this little naughty boy Hongxu was taught a lesson by his father today. If I remember correctly, I was the one who took out the scriptures first. Why did he take two of them before I even got the purse?

Yinzuo naturally saw Hongxu's indignant look, raised his hand to call him to his side, and patted his head.

"Son, your little head is full of questions right now. It's okay. You just have to get used to it. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about how familiar we are. You and your mother have only known each other for a dozen years at most, while we've both known each other for over thirty years. So it's normal that you can't compete with me, isn't that?"

Is this normal? Although what his father said made sense, Hongxu always felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't think of anything to refute it for a while, so in the end he could only pinch his nose and agree with his father's statement.

After pua'ing his son and getting two big purses, Yinzuo was in an extremely good mood. He held Xiaoqu'er horizontally and his two purses, which were obviously meant to show off, and surrounded everyone to show off for a while before finding a seat next to Yinzhen and sitting down.

"Yes, we'll split it in half when we meet. I'll give you one of the purses my mother gave me, and fourth brother, don't forget to pack me a bigger one when you go back tonight."

Well, Yinzuo's abacus beads are about to jump onto Yinzhen's face, but the same thing goes, there is no way to stop the two brothers from being willing to fight and be beaten. Look, isn't our Crown Prince willing to accept the purse?

After achieving great success with a small investment, Yinzuo's good mood continued to rise, so much so that our Prince Zhao ate too much dumplings during the New Year's meal. Looking at Yinzuo strolling in and out of the house with a full belly, everyone had only three words in their mind - it was his own fault.

After four quarters of the midnight hour, it meant that the New Year's Eve vigil was over. Yinzuo first arranged for someone to send his sleepy son to the rear hall of Yonghe Palace to rest, and then he yawned and pulled his wife to his small courtyard in the South Third House to rest.
