Chapter 448 Grand View Garden Faction Battle 5
Who would have thought!
Isn't this supposed to be body training? Whose body is being trained? The opponent's?
The stunned crowd couldn't help but feel envious. Yin muttered to himself, "Big brother, that was too easy. I want a Reflective Armor too..."
“Nothing in this world is that easy,” Kangxi shook his head. “I imagine the price Baoqing paid was not small.”
Yinreng and the others nodded in agreement with Kangxi's point of view.
On the other side, Yinzhuo looked at his fourth brother in the camera and tugged hard at Yinzhi's clothes.
Yin Zhi lowered his head: "What's wrong?"
After speaking, she raised her head and turned her attention back to Yinzhen's perspective, then couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.
Xichun's residence, Nuanxiangwu, was filled with blooming red smartweed, giving it a desolate feel.
When Yinzhen led Xichun in, he couldn't help but frown. It was too small, too remote, and the furnishings were too cold and desolate. How could it be suitable for a child to live there?
Seeing him frown, Xichun couldn't help but feel alarmed: "What's wrong with you?"
"Too young, not good enough for you," Yinzhen said truthfully.
Xichun's eyes stung and reddened slightly. With a nasal tone, she said, "Only you would think that way. No one in the Jia family cares about me. It's good enough that I have a place to live. At least it's quiet here."
Yinzhen disliked hearing her wallow in self-pity, and considering Xichun's thoughts of becoming a nun, he felt dissatisfied with the Jia family while also trying to figure out how to persuade her.
Before he could speak, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, and countless petals of red smartweed were blown up and floated towards them.
They flew slowly, but layer upon layer, quickly obscuring their vision and trapping them in the middle.
"careful."
Yinzhen activated the protective shield, shielding Xichun behind him. He watched as the petals fell onto the shield, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound, before turning into black water and falling to the ground. His brows furrowed deeply.
"what to do?"
Xichun tugged at his sleeve, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't panic."
Faced with the overwhelming corrosive petals and watching his health bar steadily decrease, Yinzhen was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for death.
After hesitating for a moment, thinking that there was no one else here, he gritted his teeth, spread his thumbs and forefingers, formed a square, and stretched it out to aim at the petals in front of him.
After a pause, Yinzhen said, "His appearance is average, not worthy of being painted."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pale golden frame detached from his hand, growing larger and larger as it floated forward. In an instant, the petals encased by the frame withered and fell to the ground.
"This is?"
Why can't game characters share the same thoughts? This is the art of painting we learned together! Yinzhen shouted in his heart, cursing and swearing for tens of thousands of words, but on the surface he explained in a serious manner: "When painters choose a scene, they will not include it unless it is satisfactory."
"Withering if not painted?"
Remembering his teacher's words in class, that to possess top-tier painting skills, one must have unwavering conviction, Yinzhen nodded calmly: "If a painting doesn't meet the eye of a master, all things should be ashamed."
"..." Looking at Yinzhen's self-righteous appearance, Xichun hesitated. Was she too ignorant about the art of painting? Did she need to be so confident?
To prevent Xichun from continuing to question him, Yinzhen used his second trick: he finally took out his paintbrush!
Holding the pen, he drew a line forward with the pure white nib, muttering to himself, "The colors are so vibrant, they are worthy of being used as pigments."
"You just said it was so-so."
As he watched the petals being quickly absorbed by the brush tip, turning the tip from pure white to crimson, and another petal being cleared away, Yinzhen became even more composed: "Mind your own business with the painter."
After saying that, he waved his paintbrush in mid-air, and soon, as the paint on the tip faded again, a little dog made of red smartweed, the same color as the petals, appeared. It happily pounced into the petals and ate them one after another.
"The fourth one is quite unique, huh?"
"Fourth Brother really loves puppies."
In front of the camera, Yinzhi and Yinqi spoke dryly, finding it difficult to express the complex emotions in their hearts.
Is this the fourth brother? Is this the cold-faced fourth brother from a past life?
Anyone present who knew what kind of person the fourth brother used to be would find it hard not to feel awkward seeing this scene.
Kangxi, unaware of this, remained silent for a while, unsure whether Yinzhen was originally like this or had been transformed into this by the game.
But Yinzhen was taking a risk inside, so he couldn't just lie and say something against his conscience. Kangxi adjusted his words and spoke with difficulty: "Yinzhen... is steadfast and persistent."
Yinreng glanced at him. If he couldn't bring himself to praise him, he didn't have to. The fourth prince didn't really care about the emperor's evaluation. To be precise, nobody cared.
On the other hand, through Liang Jiugong and the others' retelling, they also learned that Zhu Chongba was skilled at using silk threads to control his opponents like a puppet; Yintai was good at drawing talismans and throwing out wind and rain talismans to summon wind and rain; and Yu Linglong, although she seemed to lack martial arts skills, was able to calm down the rampaging plants with her purification technique.
Looking at it this way, they seem to be practicing Taoism in a proper way, making Yinzhi, Yinzhen, and Yinzhi seem particularly different.
"How is Songgotu?"
Yinreng looked at Kangxi. The other three were dealing with the plant attacks with ease and had launched counterattacks. Was Suo'etu still not making a move?
Kangxi's expression was slightly complicated. How to put it, it wasn't that Suo'etu was inactive; on the contrary, he almost instigated the Jia family to split apart. However, he relied more on words and political maneuvering.
However, compared to the three princes, Yinzhi and the others, his life was somewhat ordinary. After all, political maneuvering was just part of Kangxi's daily routine, but he was still somewhat gratified.
"Baocheng and Suo'etu are still better than Baoqing."
Hearing Kangxi's sighs and relief, Yinreng felt sorry for Yinzhi. Was he really going to let Yinzhi cricket like that?
Okay, he can join too. "After all, Suo'etu has followed the Emperor for so long." He is indeed better than the eldest! Undoubtedly, a fair assessment!
"You are the heir to the title, the head of the family. Without you, what status does the Jia family have?"
"Yeah?"
"Of course! You are a first-rank general, much better than Jia Zheng."
"But Mother..."
"What does it have to do with her! The saying goes, 'A married woman obeys her husband, and after her husband's death, she obeys her son.' She should listen to you! Besides, a kind mother and a filial son are essential. Even if she doesn't care about you, you should care about the reputation of the Jia family!"
“That makes sense…that makes sense. But Your Majesty…”
Jia She, who was almost limping from the impassioned speech of Suo'etu, was clearly wavering. Seeing this, Suo'etu pressed on, saying, "Precisely because a lady has appeared in the mansion, you should seize the opportunity to make everyone understand who the head of the household is, and also let the lady know who she is relying on!"
"Do you think she became a concubine because of her status as the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official, or because of her title as the granddaughter of the Duke of Rong and the niece of Jia She, a first-rank general?"
Jia She was completely convinced. That made sense. It wasn't that he needed Jia Yuanchun; it was that Jia Yuanchun needed him!
"Then what should I do?" Jia She was itching to do something.
Soetu kindly advised him: "Putting aside other matters, it is not advisable to make a big move at this time, but you can show your authority in a small way."
"For example?"
"For example, the arrangement of accommodations in the Grand View Garden should be decided by the Empress, but it should also be decided by your master."
