Chapter 474 To be continued
"Oops, I fell down. I need my myna bird to carry me up."
"Yinti!" *2
Seeing the Fourteenth Prince deliberately sitting next to Yinzhi's legs and clinging to him, both Yinzhen and Yinzuo, his two older brothers, couldn't help but bulge their veins.
That brat is so shameless! Is this how they teach their kids?
"Myna, they're staring at Fourteen, and Fourteen is scared."
The chubby-cheeked Fourteenth Prince looked at Yinzhi with his big, watery eyes, pretending to be wronged.
Helpless, Yinzhi picked him up from the ground, saying, "Don't sit on the ground next time, it's dirty."
"Okay—" Yinzhen snuggled his little face against Yinsi's chest, nodded obediently, and then gave his fourth and sixth brothers a smug smile. Hehe, Eighth Brother loves me—
"..." Completely unable to bear watching, Yinzhen and Yinzuo exchanged a glance, not understanding how this kid had grown into this.
They had initially planned to target the bondservant class, but were worried that Consort De would corrupt the Fourteenth Prince. Therefore, they advised Emperor Kangxi to move all the princes who had turned three years old to the Princes' Residence ahead of schedule for early training.
After all, time waits for no one, and disasters leave them little time to grow.
The same applies to Emperor Kangxi. From the eleventh prince, Yinzhi, whose frail health improved due to the introduction of the game, to the youngest prince, Yinti, all of them have been sent in.
The remaining princes who were aborted by butterflies weren't their fault either; the main reason was that Emperor Kangxi dared not have any more children. With only a few years left, it would be so heartbreaking to raise them to five or six years old and then have them die. It was better not to have any at all.
In addition, Emperor Kangxi worked tirelessly, and in order to maintain his health and save time, he became even more self-disciplined and rarely visited the harem.
Therefore, Yinzhen became the youngest prince in the true sense.
It's understandable that he's a little proud, since he's been taken care of by his two older brothers, Yinzhen and Yinzuo, but how can he be so shameless?
Of course, if they actually asked that question, Yinzhen would have something to say. So what if he's shameless? He can get the Eighth Prince to hug him if he's shameless!
Thirteen was well-behaved and sensible, and was welcomed by the myna bird, so he took a different approach.
A child who knows how to be charming will be loved by many. Don't underestimate the intelligence of this five-year-old prince!
Having just finished his studies and received praise from his teacher, Yinxiang was about to share the good news with his myna bird when he witnessed this scene.
Yinxiang couldn't help but pout. Damn it, should he also fall down?
Just as they were getting ready to make a move, Yinzhi saw them.
"Thirteen, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly."
Yinzhi beckoned, and Yinxiang walked in with a smile, completely forgetting about his fake fall.
"Myth brother, fourth brother, sixth brother."
Yinzhi patted his head and asked gently, "How was your study today?"
"The teacher praised me today, saying I learned very well and could learn even more deeply." Yinxiang pursed his lips, trying hard to restrain himself, but his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Yinsi, like a shy but expectant puppy.
"Our Thirteen is really amazing."
Yinzhi praised him in return, and Yinzhen and Yinzuo nodded in agreement.
Feeling ignored, Yinzhen instantly bristled, wrapping his arms around Yinsi's neck and raising his head to shout, "I'm amazing too! I can make clay figures with Eighth Brother!"
"You're just playing in the mud," Yinzhu retorted bluntly.
Yinzhen's actions were more direct; he reached out and pulled Yinti off Yinsi, saying, "Don't always cling to your eighth brother; he gets tired too!"
Yinzhen, who was initially somewhat reluctant, obediently let Yinzhen carry him down. As soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to say to Yinsi, "Eighth Brother, don't worry, when I grow up, I will carry you every day, so you won't have to walk."
"Okay." Yinzhi was amused by him and patted his head. "Then I'll be waiting for you."
Yinxiang pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Eighth Brother, when I grow up, I will do things for you, and you won't have to work so hard."
"Alright, then I'll wait for the thirteenth too." Yinzhi nodded in agreement and patted Yinxiang's head as well.
Yinxiang was pleased, but Yinti was unconvinced and his competitive spirit was aroused. He shouted, "Eighth Brother, when I grow up, I will feed you, and you won't have to eat by yourself anymore!"
"Then I'll give the myna bird water!"
"I'll dress the myna bird!"
"I'll help the myna bird wash up!"
Seeing the two bickering and arguing, as if they were going to take care of him for the rest of his life, Yinzhi couldn't help but chuckle and smiled smugly at Yinzhen and Yinzuo: "Alright, I don't have to worry about the rest of my life anymore."
Yinzhen and Yinzuo were amused by him, but they also disliked the two younger ones. What business was it of theirs in Yinsi's later years? Why should they take on so much responsibility?
They're so young but so cunning; they should all go study!
...
"Eighth Brother, we're back. Thirteen and I both passed the tests. I'm a mecha pilot, and Thirteen is a gunner. We can protect you from now on. You can kick Big Brother and the others out of here; they're getting old..."
The voice arrived before the person.
Having grown up considerably and now resembling a young boy, an excited Yinzhen dragged Yinxiang in, chattering incessantly.
Then, he was met with the stares of his ten older brothers.
Yinzhi shrugged innocently: "I wanted to remind you, but you spoke too quickly, Fourteenth Prince."
Yinzhen and Yinxiang couldn't help but take a small step back.
Yinzhi was the first to stand up, letting out a cold laugh: "Old?"
Yinreng rubbed his wrist. "Whom did you kick?"
Yin Zhi, a smiling tiger, walked over and blocked their escape route: "Good lad, you've got some nerve."
Yinxiang glanced at his brothers who had gathered around him, swallowed hard, and weakly explained, "Is it too late for me to say that I'm not with the Fourteenth Prince?"
Yinzhen patted his shoulder heavily and smiled, "It's too late."
Instead, Yinzhen's competitive spirit was aroused, and he shouted, "Thirteenth Prince, what are you afraid of? Let's fight them!"
"I..." Before Yinxiang could refuse, his eager older brothers had already started the lesson.
A series of crackling sounds made even Yinzhi feel sorry for himself. So he silently turned around and covered his ears.
"What? Still want to do it? Who can we beat, huh?"
Yinzhi slapped Yinti and Yinxiang on the head twice.
As if some kind of ceremony had begun, then, in order of seniority, from Yinreng to Yin, each of them was slapped once, until their scalps turned red.
Faced with their questions, he quickly shook his head, "I'm quitting, I'm quitting."
Once everything was over, Yinzhi stepped forward and said, "Alright, they've been taught a lesson, so don't do anything more."
Yinzhen and Yinxiang were moved to tears; their eighth brother was truly the best. They never expected that their other brothers would also refrain from taking any further action.
Just as Kangxi coldly watched Yinreng and the others work like madmen, Yinreng and the other nine also watched the two misunderstand each other, knowing that Yinsi would never be wrong!
"Thirteen and fourteen have passed the assessment and have a specific career path, which is a good thing."
As everyone sat around the table, Yinzhi spoke again, "The countdown will soon be over. This career has come at just the right time; at least it can protect us."
Mentioning the countdown brings a heavy feeling to everyone. As the countdown draws ever closer, the unknown disaster torments everyone, and unrest has broken out in many places.
Fortunately, there are Red Mansion Academies in various places that can support stability maintenance.
"My Eighth Brother, what exactly will the disaster be?" Yinzhen couldn't help but ask, the more mysterious the game seemed, the more uneasy he felt about the countdown.
Yinzhi shook his head, "I don't know either, but..."
His gaze swept over everyone present, filled with determination and strength: "We've done our best, haven't we? Whatever happens, we'll face it together."
Yinzhen nodded, looked at Yinsi seriously, and reached out to grasp Yinsi's hand on the table: "That's right, we'll face it together."
The others couldn't help but glare at him, then one by one, they reached out and placed their hands on top, stacking themselves into a tower, encouraging each other: "Let's face this together."
"Then let's get moving. People in all the places are waiting for our arrangements."
Yinreng stood up and spoke, and everyone nodded. The Qing Dynasty was not just waiting around doing nothing. With the efforts of Yinyou and a group of research-oriented players, and relying on the Red Mansion Academy, they built underground shelters in various places, using the highest level of space compression and protection technology they could offer.
The size of each college was built according to the local population. The underground personal space was not large, but it could barely accommodate everyone in the area.
Therefore, as the countdown was about to end, people in various places were being persuaded to go underground.
However, not everyone wants to live. In order to leave more room for the younger generation to live, many elderly and disabled people have chosen not to enter.
But the nature of the disaster is uncertain, and every person and every life is precious.
Therefore, the imperial court was unwilling to give up, and these princes had to go to various places to inspect and appease the people, ensuring that all the people had entered the underground shelters.
Finally, the countdown was about to end.
At this moment, looking down from the sky, there wasn't a single living person on the Qing Dynasty grounds. The only things present were hidden cameras facing various directions, monitoring the changes on the ground.
Inside the shelter under Zhili, Yinzhi and the others held hands, watching the countdown on the system page end.
Yinzhi suddenly spoke up: "In the next life, shall we still be brothers?"
“It feels a bit unlucky to say this now,” Yin Zhi smiled, “but… I’ll reluctantly agree.”
Yinreng laughed: "Would I still be brothers with a brute like you in the next life? Then it'll be my turn to be the boss, right?"
Yinzhi rolled his eyes: "Get lost, I'm the boss for life, I'll always be the boss, don't even think about putting me down."
"In the next life, let's be brothers." Yinzhen looked at Yinsi earnestly.
Before Yinzhi could answer, Yintang rolled his eyes: "What do you mean? We're not compatible? In the next life, I'll be twins with Eighth Brother!"
"Count me in!" Yin chimed in, "Triplets, it's almost a certainty!"
"Then what about me?" Yinqi hesitated, "How about quadruplets?"
Yinzhuo: "Then I have to be there, quintuplets!"
"I was here first." Yinzhen's face darkened. Why was everyone excluding him?
Yinzhi suppressed a laugh: "Then let's have sextuplets, and you'll still be the eldest brother, Fourth Brother."
Yinzhen chimed in, "Fourth brother and sixth brother both have children, how can it be acceptable if I'm not included? Septuplets!"
“Then I have to be there,” Yinxiang interjected, “to have octuplets!”
"Is this reasonable? Wasn't this my idea? Include me!" Yinzhi interjected, "Among nine, I'm still the eldest!"
Yinreng: "It wouldn't make sense if I wasn't included, would it? Ten babies."
Yin Zhi: "Eleven babies."
Yinzhuo looked at the silent Yinyou: "Seventh brother, why aren't you saying anything?"
"I'm thinking about what it would take to give birth to more than a dozen babies at once."
Yin blurted out, "What?"
"Rabbits and pigs are what I can think of right now..."
Yin Tang rushed over and covered his mouth, "Alright, stop talking. Don't try to be a researcher at a time like this."
The crowd was making a racket, which moved and saddened Emperor Kangxi, who couldn't help but be swept up in the noise. He wondered what kind of creature he would be in his next life to be able to give birth to all these sons at once? A pig... The seventh prince was too much of a researcher!
"The countdown is about to end."
Yinzhi spoke softly, and everyone fell silent instantly, clenching their hands tightly and holding their breath.
