Chapter 50

Kangxi wanted to go back. No one else dared to say anything, but Yinzuo said, "It's still early. Father said we can play all day. Let's go have lunch. We are hungry after the fight."

Yinzuo reviewed what had just happened with Kangxi: "Those women were so fierce, Yinzuo couldn't even get a word in, it was so scary." Yinzuo patted his chest, still feeling frightened.

"Ama can't argue with them, they are the real culprit."

The prince thought to himself, this kid really knows how to bring up things that are not related to the topic.

Kangxi gave Yinzuo a death stare. Yinzuo shut up obediently, but pulled Kangxi aside and said, "Shall we go have lunch? We agreed to play for the whole day, let's go shopping."

Yinzuo suddenly remembered something and said to Kangxi, "Do you have enough money, father? I have only a little money left from my brothers and sisters. I can't eat anything too expensive." Yinzuo opened his purse to show Kangxi. This trip gave him more experience in price and money.

This time Kangxi did not tease Yinzuo again and said, "There is enough money."

They ate at a different restaurant than the one they had in the morning. The atmosphere at the table was also quite good. Kangxi did not mention the previous conflict with others, and no one else was eager to bring it up again.

Only the Seventh Prince Yinyou hesitated to speak several times, with his head down, not knowing whether he should take the initiative to admit his mistake. After all, they were the ones who started the fight today.

As for Yinzuo, who took the initiative to push others, he didn't think that he was wrong in fighting.

While eating, when he saw his seventh brother looking unhappy with his head down, Yinzuo only felt that he wanted to pull those little kids over and beat them up! He picked up the shrimp he liked for the seventh prince and said, "My brother eat more."

The Seventh Prince smiled and hummed, "Sixth brother, don't eat that spicy food. Your throat is hoarse now." Yinzuo did not take care of his little voice at all when he was cheering for the other fleet, and now his voice can be heard to be hoarse when he speaks.

Yin Zuo: "It's okay, I'll try it again."

Yinzuo and the Seventh Prince were talking in low voices. Kangxi did not say much to them. He was talking to the Eldest Prince and the Crown Prince.

Yinzuo drank a sip of soup and listened to his father and the prince talking as if they were testing him. He felt deep sympathy for them - maybe it would be more fun if his father didn't come out and it was just them, the brothers?

"Let's go after eating." Kangxi stood up.

The afternoon passed quickly, and they saw many new things, because the scenery on the street was new to them. Yinzuo also picked pearl flowers for his mother. Seeing that the seventh prince still looked worried, Yinzuo sighed in his heart and was not so happy. Yinzuo rubbed his seventh brother's head.

"Don't be unhappy."

"We beat them till they cried, didn't we?"

The Seventh Prince was also holding the pearl flowers he bought for his mother. He said, "I'm not unhappy." It was just that the Emperor kept silent about the matter. He was confused about what the Emperor was thinking.

When returning to the palace, the Seventh Prince still did not seem to be out playing, but lowered his eyes, feeling uncomfortable. His Royal Father had always ignored him, and even after something like today, he could still ignore him, right?

The Seventh Prince himself didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, it was better than being scolded, but he didn't feel relieved in his heart and felt uncomfortable.

The Seventh Prince, who had his eyes downcast, suddenly felt someone watching him. He looked up and saw that it was Kangxi who was looking at him. This made the Seventh Prince very nervous. Was he going to say something to him? His voice became tense: "Father Emperor."

Kangxi frowned slightly, which made the Seventh Prince's hair tense.

"Look up, you are a member of the royal family."

"What does it look like to keep your head down all the time?"

The Seventh Prince never expected that this is what the Emperor wanted to say. Although it was a reprimand, the content of the words made him unable to react.

Don't you want to talk about the fight he had today? Wouldn't he be disgusted by the strange looks others gave him and made him embarrassed? This son of his is the imperfection of the emperor's father.

The Seventh Prince hesitated for a while before saying, "...Yes, yes."

Yinzuo looked at his seventh brother, then at Kangxi, and his heart was filled with worries. After being scolded by Kangxi, the seventh prince no longer hung his head. Although he was scolded, he seemed to be in a better mood than before! This made Yinzuo think.

But it's always good to feel better. That's right, everyone should be happy when they go out for fun.

He bought a lot of gifts, and he would go to his mother and sister after returning to the palace. The kites, pearl flowers, and wood carvings that Yinzuo bought were very much liked by both Concubine De and the Fifth Princess.

Defei also tried on the pearl flower bought by Yinzuo at that time. The two children were very supportive and said it looked beautiful. Defei also smiled from ear to ear and raised her hand to touch the pearl flower again and again.

Of course, the things sold outside are not as exquisite and luxurious as those in the palace, but this was bought by my son, how can any other jewelry compare to it?

Defei and the Fifth Princess were looking at things while listening to Yinzuo talking about what happened outside the palace. When they heard that Yinzuo had a fight with someone, they were even more shocked. But when Defei knew that Yinzuo was fine and had not suffered any harm, she felt relieved.

Moreover, when she learned that Yinzuo could beat two children of the same age as him, Defei was proud! Not only did she not scold him, but she was also relieved in her heart. What does this mean? This means that her son's health is getting better and better, and he is no worse than his peers!

I have to say that Concubine De’s train of thought is sometimes quite bizarre.

No matter how rare and fresh this day is, it will eventually end. Of course, we have to go to the study room and attend classes the next day. Yinzuo practiced calligraphy with a pen and said to the eighth prince next to him: "This is what everyone says about the difficulty of going from extravagance to frugality."

The Eighth Prince smiled slightly and said, "The Master is watching you."

Yinzuo quickly shut up.

And there was one thing that Yinzuo had forgotten. Before he went out to play, he had promised his royal father that he would do double the homework!

Ahhhh!

The eldest and third princes who went to have dinner with Yinzuo saw that Yinzuo was in a hurry to eat, so they just expressed their sympathy. Yinzuo looked at his third brother pitifully and said, "Can't you help me write?"

The Third Prince said regretfully: "My handwriting imitation is not good enough, it will be discovered, so let's not take the risk."

"You are outshined by my eighth brother. The Emperor's request is for your own good."

Oh, I admit it.

Half a decade had passed since Yinzuo had been doing extra homework. His face looked haggard and he protested vigorously to his father. Seeing that he was losing his patience, Kangxi finally relented and returned to normal.

Kangxi also reasoned with Yinzuo: "I am letting you know that if you want something, you have to pay for it. There must be a price to be paid. You are not young anymore. In the future, you can't ask for everything you want and act like a spoiled brat and ask the emperor to grant it to you."

What he said seemed to make sense, but Yinzuo curled his lips. He agreed to his request just because he was being naughty? When did it happen? How come he didn't know anything about it?

But Yinzuo quickly straightened his expression under Kangxi's gaze and nodded repeatedly: "Son, I know, I know."

Yinzuo lingered beside Kangxi and refused to leave. Kangxi became impatient after a while. "What do you want to say? You're blocking the light by swaying back and forth."

Yinzuo thought about it and said to Kangxi, "I want to talk to my father about my seventh brother."

Kangxi glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter with your seventh brother?"

Yinzuo: "Seventh brother, nothing is wrong."

There is nothing to say, why are you talking nonsense? Kangxi's face showed this sentence.

Yinzuo straightened his expression, stood in front of Kangxi and said, "My son wants to say that my seventh brother is very good."

"Isn't that right, Father Emperor?"

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yinzuo: "What do you want to say? I have something else to do and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Yinzuo held Kangxi, stamped his feet and said, "Oh, I just want to say that my seventh brother is very good. Last time when we went out, some children laughed at my seventh brother and made him sad. My son was very angry."

Kangxi said calmly, "It happened so long ago, and didn't you beat them up at that time? Do you want me to punish them?"

Yinzuo shook his head and said, "No."

"I want to ask, Father Huang, can you please talk to my seventh brother? Praise him? He will definitely be happy if you praise him."

But in the face of Yinzuo's plea, Kangxi only said: "Which eye of yours can see that your seventh brother is sad? My son is not that fragile."

"If you can't even handle a little bit of it, what can we expect from you in the future?"

Yinzuo opened his eyes wide, he was now also angry with his royal father!

Yinzuo defended his seventh brother: "Of course my seventh brother is not weak, he is very good!"

Isn't that enough? How can you worry so much every day when you are still young?

Kangxi was already busy reviewing the memorials, but Yinzuo was so anxious that he didn't know how to talk to Kangxi. He stayed beside Kangxi and thought for a long time before saying, "Although my seventh brother is also very capable, but, but you are our father."

"Your words are very important!" Yinzuo said to Kangxi seriously.

The child's eyes were pure and clear. Kangxi lowered his eyes and said to Yinzuo, "He was born different from others. No matter what others say or look at him, he has to bear all the consequences by himself. He will grow up on his own. You don't need to worry about him."

Yinzuo frowned: "No!"

"I am the elder brother of the seventh brother, and the emperor father is the father of the seventh brother. The seventh brother is not alone. I don't want to see the seventh brother alone. It won't be so difficult if we are together."

"I want my seventh brother to be happy."

Yinzuo didn't quite understand what Kangxi said, nor would he be led astray by Kangxi. He had his own insistence. They were the seventh brother's family, so why should he be left alone? What was the meaning of family members?

When did someone come up and say Kangxi was wrong? Yinzuo's words were actually a bit incoherent, but Kangxi could understand what he was saying by looking at his serious face. The child was very innocent and just wanted his seventh brother to be happy.

Kangxi did not have so many sentimental thoughts, and he did not raise a daughter in the boudoir. He scoffed at his son's mood. As he said before, his son was not that fragile. What future could he have without a strong character?

But Kangxi did not say anything for a while. In fact, no matter how many reasons he had, he was indeed repulsed by the Seventh Prince Yinyou and was not willing to spend too much time on this son.

Yinzuo thought for a moment and said to Kangxi, "Father, please talk to my seventh brother. I will do more homework, study harder, and try to catch up with my eighth brother, okay?"

"exchange!"

Oh, this kid is quite smart in applying what he has learned. Kangxi glanced at Yinzuo and said, "You are learning for me, right? Are you going to exchange this for me?"

Yinzuo ran over to massage Kangxi's shoulders and said, "Father, just agree to your son's request. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
