Rebirth: My Life as Daddy's Favorite in the Great Qing

A benevolent, all-around best debater and "chicken-raising" professional father; a master of palace intrigue and "white lotus" drama queen mother; a difficult, petty elder brother who ...

Chapter 511 If we can’t provoke you, can we just hide away?

Isn't there an old saying that it is easier to invite a god than to send him away? Yinzuo finally experienced what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. No, do you think his brain was broken at that time? Otherwise, he would have dug such a big hole for himself instead of finding so many excuses.

Isn't there a saying that goes, if you can't afford to provoke someone, you can afford to hide from him? It doesn't matter that Yinzuo can't punish his own son, but he can punish his own father. So less than half a month later, Yinzuo packed up his belongings and moved back to his father's side hall of the Qianqing Palace as if he was fleeing.

"Hey, what happened to our Prince Zhao? Didn't he say he missed his son? How come he's back after just a few days?"

Haha, you can just gloat over my misfortune. Who is the reason why I have to run away like this? It’s all because of your eldest grandson. No, I just want to say that I am such a steady person, how could my child be so naughty? Now it seems that this is probably inherited from the previous generation.

Although Yinzuo kept slandering his father in his heart, his face showed a completely different expression. His smile was so bright and his expression was so flattering, which was completely different from what he had in mind.

"Look at what Father said. The reason why my son came back is of course because I missed you. I finally realized that compared to my annoying son, Father is still the best to me..."

What Yinzuo said was absolutely right. Kangxi was really good to him. Look, he was so sarcastic just now, but after being coaxed by others, he is smiling again.

As expected, compared to being a father, Yinzuo felt that being a son was easier. Look, he didn't have to worry about anything now. He just had to lie down. If he needed something, he just had to call "Father" a few times, and the food and supplies would be delivered to his mouth or hand.

As the weather got hotter, Kangxi could no longer live in the Forbidden City. He was always a man of action, so since he couldn't live there anymore, he decided to move. So he gave an order and moved to Changchun Garden with his mother, wife and children.

Yinzuo was Kangxi's little leg pendant, so if his father didn't take anyone else with him, then he had to be taken with him. So our Prince Zhao lived in his Shufengxuan as usual.

Of course, he was not the only one who came with the emperor this time. In order to facilitate work, his brothers and some ministers who had houses near Changchun Garden also moved here. This of course also included his elder brother who was always left behind by his father.

"No, Fourth Brother, didn't Father ask you to move to Jifengxuan? Why are you coming here for no reason? Let me tell you, my Shufengxuan is very small, and there might be room for you to stay."

Are you kidding? If his fourth brother really lives in Shufengxuan, then what freedom will he have? After all, compared to his biological father who is willing to indulge him in everything, his biological brother Yinzhen, who is like a father to him, is more terrifying.

Yinzhen simply turned a blind eye to Yinzuo's obvious move to drive people away. The guy sat there calmly, and if you didn't know, you would think that Shufengxuan was his territory.

"What are you yelling about? You're already such a grown-up, but why don't you act calm? My father-in-law did ask me to move to Jifengxuan, but isn't your place close to Qingxi Book House? I have a lot of things to deal with these days, so it's more convenient for me to stay with you..."

Yes, yes, it's convenient for you to live with me, but what about me? Hey, brother, your brother's life is also his life, right? Could you at least consider me?

No matter how Yinzuo resisted, Yinzhen finally moved in. With Yinzhen as the jailer watching over him, Yinzuo's life was extremely hard. Let's just say, which good person would button his clothes up to his neck in the middle of summer?

"Fourth brother, please, please let me put this ice jar on the table. I'm serious. If this continues, I'll get a heat stroke. Fourth brother, you're feeling the heat too, aren't you? Anyway, this ice is our share of the sweating father, so we'll always have it..."

It’s not that Yinzhen was so concerned about the ice, but mainly because Yinzuo was too greedy for coolness. Look at how cold the room was. Sooner or later, the dampness would enter his body and he would get sick.

"Hot? Then just calm down. Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you calm down, you'll feel cooler.' I just had the ice container removed, but the ice basin is still here. If you just calm down, you'll feel cooler in no time."

If your mind is calm, you will naturally feel cool. Look, is this what people say? How can a person's mind be calm? If it really were calm, wouldn't it feel cool?

Yin Zuo was there because his fourth brother had been pestering him for a while, but seeing that he showed no sign of giving in, he simply ignored him, stood up, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out. After all, he didn't only have Shu Feng Xuan to stay in...

Yinzhen knew without a second thought where Yinzuo was going. Seeing how angry he looked, he was definitely going to complain to his Khan Ama again. Although Yinzhen was helpless about Yinzuo's behavior of calling the parents when he couldn't beat him, he had no way to deal with him.

As expected by Yinzhen, Yinzuo went straight to his father's Qingxi Study as soon as he left Shufengxuan. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Kangxi sitting on the couch playing chess with Yinreng, and immediately pounced on him.

"Father, you must make the decision for your son. Fourth brother is simply too much. Not only has he occupied your son's yard, but he also abuses me. In this hot weather, he even forbids your son to use the ice jar. Look at my arms and back, are they all covered with heat rash..."

Kangxi obviously did not expect Yinzuo to be so excited. He was almost knocked down by Yinzuo's sudden pounce. After barely stabilizing his body, the first thing he did was to tear off the dog-skin plaster on his body.

"Alright, you're grown up, why are you still acting like a child and coming to your elders to complain when you can't win an argument? Your fourth brother doesn't let you use the ice jar because it's for your own good. If you use too much ice, the room will be cooler, but it will also be more humid. If you use it for a long time, you'll probably get sick. Don't you hate being fed bitter medicine soup?"

Yes, it’s true that I don’t want to take the medicine, but compared to that, I can’t stand this hot weather even more. However, Yinzuo is not stupid. Just looking at Kangxi’s reaction, Yinzuo knows that his father obviously agrees with what his fourth brother said.

"Father, please treat it as your son's begging you, okay? Please have pity on me and ask Fourth Brother to agree to let me put that ice jar out. I promise you, I will never seek the coolness. When it's time to go to bed at night, I will have this thing moved out..."

Although Kangxi was always skeptical about Yinzuo's guarantees, he could not resist Yinzuo's pestering and finally gave in to his wishes.
