"Mother is still packing up, and the yard is a mess. She has no time to take care of me. But I said hello to her when I came out, so she knew I was here with Sixth Brother. Sixth Brother, can we go fishing now?"

The six-year-old Yinzhen was a little noisy on weekdays and his temperament was a little overbearing because of Concubine De's pampering, but overall he was not a difficult child. He was especially well-behaved in front of Yinzuo. After all, his sixth brother would never spoil him. If he was bullied by others, he could go to his mother to complain, but if he was bullied by his sixth brother, he would be helpless. After suffering a few losses, Yinzhen realized that he was not his mother's only little baby.

"No rush. It's almost noon, the hottest time of the day. We might as well take a break first and go in the afternoon when it's not so hot. Come, Sixth Brother wants to ask you, why did you come to my place when Fourth Brother lives closer to you and is more responsive to your requests than I am? Moreover, his place is surrounded by water on three sides, and the scenery is nice too."

After hearing what Yinzuo said, Yinzhen's eyes rolled around and he came closer to Yinzuo with a smile.

"Fourth Brother is very good to me, but he's always so serious. I can't help but feel nervous when I'm with him. Sixth Brother, you have a lot of fun things here, and you're better at it than Fourth Brother, always coming up with new ideas. Even though Fourth Brother's place is surrounded by water and has beautiful scenery, he's stricter with me than you are. Even if I ask Fourth Brother for help with something like fishing, he definitely won't agree easily."

Yinzuo originally wanted to tease Yinzhen, but he didn't expect that the little boy Fourteen could speak so clearly. After hearing his reasons, Yinzuo couldn't help but reach out and pinch Yinzhen's chubby little face.

"Oh, don't look at your small size, you are quite shrewd. Okay, Sixth Brother will remember what you said. When I see Fourth Brother again, I will tell him about it and let him know what kind of image he has in your heart. But forget about fishing today. Sixth Brother doesn't have anything that you can use to catch fish. I can take you to find a place to play in the water, but it won't be fun just the two of us. So this afternoon, we will call your Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, and Thirteenth Brother to come with us. It will be more lively with more people!"

It has to be said that compared to the strict rules of the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, the beautiful Changchun Garden is much freer and more comfortable to live in. After lunch, Yinzuo first forced Fourteenth, who was eager to run outside, to take a nap. When he woke up, he found that it was still early, so he simply asked Dexi to notify Yin'er and others to come over. He took a Thousand Character Classic from the bookshelf and called Fourteenth to his side, preparing to conduct a surprise check on Fourteenth's homework.

When Yinzuo was a student, the thing he hated most was definitely facing Kangxi's surprise checks on his homework. But now that he was the one to check on others, he suddenly found it a bit interesting. No wonder Kangxi loved checking on their homework so much in the past? It turned out that watching others react with fear and caution to him was indeed due to the adults' bad taste.

"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. The sun and moon wax and wane, the stars are spread out in a line. Winter comes and goes, summer passes, autumn brings harvest, winter stores. The extra leap year makes the year, the rhythm of the sun and the moon adjusts to the rhythm of the sun..."

The Thousand Character Classic is the basic enlightenment reading material of the Shangshufang. Yinzhen is learning this now, so he can recite it quite fluently. After he finished reciting, the little guy looked at Yinzuo with bright eyes. It was obvious from his expression that he was asking for praise, and Yinzuo naturally would not be stingy.

"Yes, Fourteenth is really smart. He's as smart as your Sixth Brother was when he was little. Keep up the good work."

Yinzhen was very happy to hear Yinzuo praising him for being as smart as he was when he was a child. After all, everyone in the palace knew that his sixth brother had won the favor of Khan Ama because of his clever brain and had been personally taught by Khan Ama for many years. If his sixth brother praised him for being as smart as he was when he was a child, wouldn't that mean that he, the fourteenth, was also very smart?

When the two brothers were having a great time, there was suddenly a loud noise coming from outside. Although he hadn't seen anyone yet, just by hearing the noise Yinzuo knew that it was Yinlu, Yinxi, Yinxiang and the others who had arrived.

"Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, Thirteenth Brother and the others are here. Can we set off now?"

When Yinzhen heard the noise outside, he could no longer sit still. He stood up excitedly and pulled Yinzuo to run out. Yinzuo sighed helplessly. What could he do? He brought this upon himself.

Thirteen and Fourteen were still young, Yin'er and Yin'er were not very reliable, and Yin'er was afraid of water, so Yin Zuo had no intention of taking them to the lake or a place with deeper water. He asked someone to find a stream nearby that was just high enough to cover a person's calf, and took them there.

Fourteen had been waiting for so long, and now he was finally going to see water. For him, catching fish was not the main point, as long as he could play in the water. So as soon as Yinzhen arrived at the stream, he couldn't wait to take off his shoes and socks. Before Yinzuo could speak out to stop him, he had already bravely marched towards the stream. After he went into the water and felt the cool touch on the soles of his feet, he couldn't help but cheer excitedly!

"Wow~~ Sixth brother, ninth brother, tenth brother, thirteenth brother, the water is so cool and comfortable, please come down quickly."

Yinzuo was afraid that the boy would get too excited and fall into the water, so he quickly asked Yin'er beside him to go over to take care of him. He took Yin'er, who was a little afraid of water, and Yinxiang, who was about the same age as Fourteen, to a shallower part of the stream, intending to settle Yin'er first and then bring Yinxiang over.

"The water here is shallower. Yin? You can take off your shoes and socks and get used to it here first. Once you feel comfortable, you can go to your ninth brother's place. Dexi is keeping an eye on your tenth master. Once he's adjusted, I'll take him over. Thirteen, come follow Sixth Brother. Your ninth brother and his friends are busy over there. I'll take you to them."

Yinzuo handed Thirteenth to Yin'er and asked him to take care of the two, while he walked to the stream, found a flat-looking stone, sat down and took shelter. The deepest part of the water here was just above Yinzuo's calves. Even if anyone of them fell, they would not be drowned. Besides, there were so many servants guarding nearby. Yinzuo was not worried about any accidents at all. Now he only had to help suppress Fourteenth when Yin'er was unable to control the monkey. For the rest, he just acted as a hands-off boss.

Taking care of children has never been an easy job. Even when they were by the stream in the afternoon, Yinzuo was only responsible for talking, and the physical work was almost all done by Yin'er alone. But when Yinzuo brought them back to Shufengxuan in the evening, he still felt that there was no brotherly love at all.

"Dexi, help me send Little Fourteen back to Mother. Tell her that I don't want to see him again for the next month. Tell her to stop bothering me. Old Nine, Old Ten, and Old Thirteen are now in your care. Make sure you send him back to his residence safely. Okay, let's disperse and go home."
