Chapter 11 Chapter 11
Kangxi put down the memorial, stood up from his chair, and walked quickly to Yinyu's side. He smiled and held him in his arms, saying gently, "Are you hungry, Fifteen? Father has prepared something delicious for you and is waiting for you to wake up."
As he spoke, he tapped his nose and said lovingly, "You little lazy cat, you sleep as soon as you're full, and you've been sleeping all day."
As Kangxi spoke, his mind was working rapidly, racking his brains to make Yinyou feel that he was not abusing him, and the expression on his face did not reveal his guilty conscience at the moment.
Yinyou didn't expect that Kangxi would find him so quickly. He was held in Kangxi's arms. Looking up at him with a tender look on his face, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have misunderstood before. It seemed that his adoptive father liked him very much.
Thinking of this, he mentally asked System 679, "Do you think I misunderstood my cheap dad? Why does he seem to like me so much?"
System 679 was silent for a while. He said to Yinyu, "Maybe. After all, you fell asleep after eating. People can't eat when they sleep. It doesn't look like he deliberately starved you."
Everyone had a cute baby voice, which made Kangxi feel relieved.
Sure enough, although this child has some intelligence, it is not high. If he hadn't been watching, he would have been eaten by his brothers.
He'll have to keep a closer eye on it from now on.
Sun was allowed to walk in with a tray. The moment she saw Kangxi, she lowered her head in fear and walked in carefully with milk. It was goat milk. This was from a sheep that her mistress had raised in the imperial kitchen.
Ever since the Fifteenth Prince had learned to express himself a little, he had only eaten goat's milk. At that time, she was afraid that she would be driven away.
Who knew that the young lady was kind-hearted and kept her.
Kangxi took the goat's milk from the tray, blew on it carefully, and then sat down. He said gently, "Fifteen, you must be hungry. Eat some goat's milk first. Father asked Liang Jiugong to go to the imperial kitchen to make you egg custard. He will be back in a while."
As he said this, the smile on his face was so gentle that it could make people sick.
Yinyou was held in Kangxi's arms. Listening to his gentle voice, he felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was usually very gentle, what the hell was this mixed voice!
Thinking of this, he looked up at Kangxi's calm face, hummed softly, and then lowered his head to drink the goat's milk. After drinking a bowl of goat's milk, he instantly became energetic and a smile began to appear on his face.
When Kangxi saw the smile on his face again, he slowly let go of his worries. He didn't want to send him back at all. If Fifteen really insisted on going back, he would have no way to deal with it.
Thinking of this, he reached out and took out a nine-ring puzzle from the box, placed it in front of Yinyou, and smiled as he carefully taught him how to play it.
Yinyou had never played with the Nine Rings in modern times, so it was very strange for him to watch it now. He watched how Kangxi took it apart, and his eyes became sparkling.
The palace lanterns were swaying, but Yinwei, who had slept too much during the day, was not sleepy at all. His black and white eyes reflected the candlelight.
Kangxi's face was already showing signs of fatigue. He looked at Yinyu holding the Nine Links and yawned. Then he picked up the tea Liang Jiugong had poured for him, took a sip, and said to Yinyu with a smile: "Fifteen, it's getting late. We should go to bed."
He has to get up early to attend court tomorrow, and in addition to attending court, he also has to deal with other matters.
Just looking at the lively look on Yinyou's little face, I suddenly felt that it might be a long time before I could fall asleep.
Yinyou's hand holding the Nine-Ring Chain paused slightly, then he looked up at Kangxi, shaking his little head like a rattle.
He is not sleepy at all now.
System 679 looked at Yinyou's indifferent appearance and said in a childish voice, "Host, you should go to bed, otherwise your father won't be able to rest. He has important things to do."
Yinyu held the Nine Links and asked without even looking up, "It's so late, what important things could he have?"
He didn't believe that there was still a minister at this time who was so fearless as to come here to discuss things with his adoptive father.
The childish voice of System 679 carried a hint of teasing as it said, "Your father wants to turn over the green card. The eunuch outside the door has been waiting for a long time with a tray. If you don't go to bed now, won't you be delaying his business?"
His voice was childish and mechanical, but the words he said made Kangxi frown.
This small system is growing fast enough. It knows so many things so quickly?
When Yinwei heard this, he immediately became energetic. He put down the nine-linked ring in his hand, and crawled towards Kangxi using his hands and feet. Then he pulled at his clothes, nestled in his arms, and looked up at him eagerly.
In his mind, he said to System 679, "I want to see what a green card looks like. I haven't seen one yet. I also want to see how my cheap dad flips a green card."
This was truly a rare occurrence, and he absolutely had to stand by and witness it.
Kangxi was silent for a while, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to rub his swollen and painful eyebrows. Is this something he can watch?
At this moment, he decided that he must not be allowed to come here on the fifteenth night in the future. It would be better to find a side hall in the Qianqing Palace for him to stay.
At the same time, he clearly felt that Yinyou was more difficult to lead than Yinreng.
Kangxi reached out and rubbed Yinyu's head, then turned to Liang Jiugong and said, "Liang Jiugong, take Shiwu to find Sun and ask her to give Shiwu some more goat's milk. It's so late today, it's time to go to bed. If you don't sleep well, you might not grow tall."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Yinwei's nose with a doting smile on his face.
When Yinyou heard this, he struggled in his heart for a moment, and then he was obediently carried out by Liang Jiugong.
After he drank a bowl of goat's milk, he curled up in bed and fell asleep.
More than half a month passed in a flash. Kangxi was busy dealing with Li Shuo's affairs and the drought and had no time to take Yinyu to court. However, his concern for Yinyu did not decrease.
Yinyou returned to his normal daily routine.
The only difference is that the 679 system plays three short videos for him to entertain himself on time every day. These short videos are not limited to a few brothers, as long as they are funny or interesting, they will be played for him.
For a while, Yinyou's life became better and better.
At the beginning of September, Sun Shi had been waiting by Yinyu's side since early morning. She had on a dark blue robe and a pale yellow jacket with auspicious cloud patterns and silver threads wrapped around it. It looked very expensive.
Sun helped Yinyu dress, her smile never fading as she said happily, "Fifteenth Prince, today the Emperor has granted this permission for this servant to take you to see the young lady. The young lady is now a noble, and her life in Zhongcui Palace is much better than before."
"It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for more than half a month. I'm sure you miss me a lot."
The Fifteenth Prince must have missed Concubine Wang very much after not seeing her for such a long time, but he was young and couldn't speak yet, so he didn't say it out loud.
When Yinyu heard that he was going to meet Concubine Wang, he happily hugged Sun's neck with a bright smile on his little face. However, when he opened his mouth, only his upper and lower teeth were exposed, which made him look a little funny.
After Sun dressed Yinyou, she took out a melon-shaped hat with rubies on it and put it on him, then carried him out.
The few times Yinyou went out, he was always in a hurry. This time, he was held in Sun's arms and did not walk very fast.
The sun was very strong above his head, and it felt a little hot on his body, but when he walked through the imperial garden, the clusters of blooming flowers were too numerous to take in.
In this era, all kinds of flowers he had never seen were competing with each other in beauty, and some beautiful butterflies were dancing among the flowers.
They all seem so beautiful that it would be even better if I hadn't met Concubine De.
Defei was wearing a cheongsam with azalea flowers, her hair in a bun, adorned with pearls and jade, and her red agate hairpins, which reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight. Her slender fingers held Yinzhen's, while the other held Chun'e's arm.
His body sways when he walks.
Yinzhen was reluctantly pulled forward by Concubine De. He didn't want to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity at all, and he didn't want to see the Fifteenth who was talking to two people.
But no matter how unwilling he was, he was getting closer and closer to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When he looked up, he saw Yinyou in Sun's arms, and he suddenly stood still.
The moment Sun saw Concubine De, she quickly suppressed the smile on her face and squatted down to salute while holding Yinyou in her arms.
Defei looked at Sun and felt Yinzhen's stiffness. She let go of his hand, smiled and walked towards Sun. She bent down and gently touched Yinyu's face. She said in a soft voice: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Fifteen has gained a lot of weight. You look even more lovely."
As she said this, she turned to Yinzhen and said with a smile, "Fourteenth, come quickly and see your fifteenth brother."
If it weren't for Fifteen, her son would be the most favored one. If it weren't for him, the emperor wouldn't have suddenly become cold.
This Fifteenth has snatched her son's favor, how hateful!
When Yinzhen heard what Defei said, he looked up at Yinyu. After a long while, he reluctantly walked over. When he was about one meter away from Yinyu, he stopped, raised his eyes and looked at him. His pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Fifteenth brother."
After saying this, he hung his head and no longer looked at Yinyou, but he was unwilling to move forward at all.
Yinyou didn't expect to meet Concubine De here. He was too leisurely during his time in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and completely forgot about Concubine De giving Yinzhen ice to win his favor.
But the moment he saw Concubine De, this incident suddenly surfaced in his mind. He glanced down at the reluctant Yinzhen and mentally yelled to the 679 system: "Is Concubine De taking Yinzhen to the Qing Palace? What does she want to do?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yinzhen's thin face and, without waiting for System 679 to speak, he said, "Poor thing! It's only been a short time since we last saw Yinzhen, and he's become so thin."
"I remember my stepfather said that after Yinzhen recovered, he would be allowed to live in the prince's residence. Why is he still staying with Concubine De?"
He was present at what happened that night, and he remembered clearly that Kangxi wanted Yinzhen to go to the prince's residence at that time.
It was only because he was sick that we didn't let him go.
And now Concubine De is actually leading Yinzhen towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity in broad daylight. Is she trying to beg for mercy?
Upon hearing this, System 679 nodded and said, "You should take advantage of the fact that Yinzhen hasn't fully recovered yet and quickly plead for mercy for your adopted father. Once he's fully recovered, I'm afraid he'll be sent directly to the prince's residence."
Yinzhen listened to Yiyitong's words and looked at Yinyou's grinning face. It was as if he saw a flood and a beast. He suddenly shook off Defei's hand and ran back.
He was not pitiful at all, he did not want to apologize at all, and he did not want to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Fifteen is really terrible, he never wants to meet him again.
Defei was so confused by Yinzhen's actions that she couldn't react. She lowered her head and glared at Yinyou fiercely, then ran after Yinzhen: "Fourteen, what's wrong with you? Wait for mother."
After Concubine De left, Sun stood up. She rubbed her legs quietly with her hands and couldn't help muttering, "It's a good thing that Fourteenth Prince ran fast, otherwise I would have thrown Fifteenth Prince down."
How can you not be tired when you are holding a 20-pound child and half-squatting to salute?
If she accidentally lost her grip and dropped the Fifteenth Prince, she might be expelled from the palace.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little scared.
Yinyu listened to this, hugged Sun's neck and blinked. He hadn't thought of this. It turned out that while he was being treated tenderly, Sun was also being punished?!
Sun was his, his wet nurse, and Concubine De dared to bully her?!
It's a good thing that he lost a lot of weight because he was still thinking about Yinzhen.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became angry and thought about how to make Defei be punished as well.
System 679 clearly sensed the host's anger and said in a soft voice, "Don't be angry. I'll help you get revenge later."
Bullying the host's wet nurse is bullying the host, and bullying the host is bullying him 679!
He will definitely vent his anger on the host.
Sun hugged Yinyu's tense body, patted his back and comforted him, "Fifteenth Prince, don't be afraid."
Yinyou rubbed his face, which had been touched by Concubine De, with his little hands and burst into tears.
The crying was so deafening that it startled Kangxi, who had just come out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He quickly walked towards the Imperial Garden and saw Yinyou crying and unable to be coaxed into silence.
He quickly walked to Yinyu, held him in his arms, patted his back and comforted him, "Don't cry, Shiwu, be good, don't cry."
As he spoke, his eyes, as sharp as knives, shot towards Sun.
Sun was frightened by Kangxi's eyes. Her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. Then she told Kangxi everything about her encounter with Concubine De.
The Fifteenth Prince cried for no reason. Apart from the fact that Concubine De touched him, there was nothing else that could make him cry?
If she hadn't seen that there were no marks on the Fifteenth Prince's face, she would have suspected that Concubine De had attacked him just because he was crying like that.
After hearing this, Kangxi suddenly remembered what he had said some time ago about sending Yinzhen to the Prince's Residence. He turned to Liang Jiugong and said, "Liang Jiugong, take your men and go clean up the Prince's Residence for the Fourteenth Prince and have him move there today."
After saying this, he patted Yinyu's back and said gently, "Don't cry, Shiwu. Father will take you to find mother, okay? Be good."
After listening to Kangxi's words, Yinyou stopped sobbing, put his arms around Kangxi's neck, and silently wiped his tears with his clothes.
Then, she sobbed in her mind to System 679, "My cheap father always does something that satisfies me. This Defei is so mean. She knew Sun was holding me, but she wouldn't let her get up. If she really fell, it would hurt me too."
“That’s too bad!”
System 679 echoed, "Yes, that's too bad. Yinzhen has moved to the prince's residence. It will be difficult to meet him in the future."
Having said that, he paused slightly, and said with a bit of pride: "Host, there is a funny short video of what just happened to her. Do you want to take a look?"
Yinyu nodded sullenly, looking like he hadn't recovered from Concubine De's outburst. "Look, I must look. When I grow up, I'll draw her miserable appearance and spread it throughout the palace and the entire capital. Let's see if she dares to bully my people again."
Upon hearing this, the 679 system quickly pulled out the screen, and suddenly a screen appeared in front of Yinyou and Kangxi.
Defei held Chun'e's arm and chased Yinzhen, but before Yinzhen caught up, the flowerpot-soled shoes on his feet tilted and he fell towards the flowers.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be funny to the 679 system, but as luck would have it, there was a small hornet's nest on the flower.
The hornet's nest was hit, and the hornets inside flew out and flew towards Concubine De.
At this moment, the whole scene became chaotic, and Concubine De was seen fleeing in panic.
