Chapter 19: The Nineteenth Day of Wanting to Die

Suddenly, Yin Zhuo felt that everyone was looking at him with respect.

Yin Zhuo didn't care, but he was still a little proud.

It was he who helped the Emperor to get the money back, and he will ask for more money in the future.

It is better not to take things that you should not take, and return what you owe.

Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

Everyone only heard these four words and fell silent.

Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and people in the Qing Palace care most about retribution.

You might have offended someone without realizing it, and then suffer a miserable outcome.

Just like the current Concubine Yi, who is usually the most favored, dresses and speaks like a proud peacock, and has three sons to support her, so she often shows disdain.

But didn’t Xiaoliu just say that after the emperor’s death, she wasn’t even given the title of dowager concubine?

This is not only a lack of respect for Concubine Yi, but it is probably because the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince are not favored. Naturally, Concubine Yi does not care so much about it, or even looks down on them.

Or maybe revenge.

Revenge from the future superior.

Concubine Yi’s face was so white that it was almost as white as Yin Zhuo’s.

Kangxi pinched his little face and said, "I heard that you were able to get out of bed and walk a few more steps today?"

Yin Zhuo puffed out his chest proudly: "That's right, I can walk several hundred meters now."

When people listened to his childish words, they felt a pang of sadness in their eyes. This Xiaoliu was also a miserable person.

He was so happy after walking just a few hundred meters, his eyes were narrowed with joy, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

Kangxi touched his head encouragingly, and then touched it a few more times casually: "Not bad, keep up the good work, I'm waiting for you to come to the palace in person to wish me a happy birthday. It's Xiaoliu's birthday, and the emperor has sent a valuable gift. I wonder what Xiaoliu will prepare?"

The expression on Yin Zhuo's face cracked a little. Is the Longevity Festival coming already?

So fast.

Yin Zhuo was a little anxious. He didn't have many friends and had never given any gifts to anyone, let alone this was a gift for Kangxi.

Yin Zhuo was so anxious that his mind was full of gibberish.

For a moment, no one could figure out what Xiaoliu was thinking. They had never heard of these strange pronunciations. There were no such phrases in either Chinese, Manchu or Mongolian.

Kangxi couldn't bear it any longer: "It's okay, you can just walk around twice when the time comes."

Yin Zhuo slapped Kangxi's hand off his head in grievance: "Have you touched enough?"

[I have static electricity. I finally grew a few hairs, and they are all standing up. 】

Kangxi's face had changed color when he was clapped, but when he heard Yin Zhuo's words, he looked down and the hairs on his back actually stood up.

Don't mention it, this is quite funny.

Concubine Yi, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Rong were all stunned. How could the emperor ask for gifts?

Looking at the intimacy between the two, the three of them shuddered. Isn't it too weird that they could feel fatherly love from Kangxi?

In the past, the prince would receive this kind of treatment when he was young, but as he grew up, Kangxi changed and the relationship between him and his son became that of a monarch and his subject.

It seemed like Concubine Yi was having stomach aches.

She had sent the fifth child to please the Empress Dowager in order to give the fifth child a different status in the eyes of the Emperor. However, the fifth child turned out to be a disappointment. He could not speak Chinese at the age of five and his academic performance was even worse. When the Emperor tested him, he got furious and called the fifth child stupid.

Concubine Yi was deeply heartbroken at that time.

The fifth brother was so frightened that he was afraid to see Kangxi, let alone take the initiative to get close to him.

However, the concubine that the emperor paired with the fifth prince this time has such a prominent status that it really makes people wonder what he is thinking.

Concubine Yi received too much information at once and her head was about to explode.

I felt dizzy for a while.

All she could think about was that she wasn't even a concubine.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong also felt bitter. Although they knew that Xiaoliu was spoiled, this was too much spoiled.

Not only did the Emperor keep touching his little bald head, but his expression didn't change even when Xiaoliu slapped Kangxi's hand just now.

That's an exaggeration.

But does the father-son relationship really exist in the Qing Palace?

Kangxi nurtured his children, but was also wary of them.

Because their relationship is not only that of father and son, but also that of a ruler and his subjects.

In addition to being the royal father, he is also the emperor.

The Queen Mother was delighted to see this scene. As she grew older, she began to like scenes of loving father and son.

She hadn't seen such a relaxed expression on Xuanye's face since the death of the Empress Dowager.

After all, she was not Xuanye's biological mother. Xuanye was filial to her, but they were not as close as ordinary mother and son.

"Why are you asking for a birthday present for Xiaoliu? Xiaoliu will pick something to take away later. Although the things here at Royal Mama's are not as good as your father's, the quality is not bad either."

The Queen Mother said generously.

She learned so much today and wanted to thank Xiaoliu for coming over.

It would be nice if Xiaoliu could come over every day and tell her gossip, like about Li Si'er.

Where she came from and what her ending would be, all these made the Empress Dowager feel like she was reading a storybook.

But she was not in a hurry, as she would have a good chat with Tana about her summer vacation incident and Shun Anyan's matter later.

The Empress Dowager was more concerned than Concubine De in choosing a husband for Tana.

Tana is her sweet little quilt.

Yin Zhuo didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and accepted it happily.

When he was about to leave, Concubine Yi, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong also expressed their desire to give him gifts.

Yin Zhuo came to Ciren Palace and instantly received a large number of precious gifts. It was like pie in the sky.

He asked the young eunuch to keep it for him first.

[I wonder if Eunuch Wang has sorted out the things in my private storeroom? ]

The last time Yin Zhuo went back, he found that the lock of his private vault was rusted, and no one maintained or cleaned it.

The old eunuch who managed the storehouse was directly dealt with by Eunuch Wang, because the old man took advantage of him.

Kangxi's expression changed and he became closer to Yin Zhuo.

They are both miserable, the father and son. The father was taken advantage of by an official, and the son was taken advantage of by a gatekeeper.

Kangxi suddenly thought of the Imperial Household Department that Xiaoliu had mentioned before.

If such a thing could happen to Xiaoliu's small private vault, then how innocent can Li, the chief steward in charge of the Imperial Household Department, be?

Kangxi was not in a hurry. After all, he was the one who had the final say in the Qing Dynasty. Now those things were just being kept in another place.

After a while he brought it back exactly as it was.

"By the way, don't you want to see Hongxi? I'll ask someone to bring him over." Kangxi was quite free today.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince were all driven away by Kangxi to the Ministry of Revenue to check the accounts.

Everyone gets a share, and then they go door to door to collect the bill from him.

If you can't handle this matter well, then there's no need to come to see him.

Yin Zhuo said as he was about to stop the wheelchair: "Okay, okay."

[See if Hongxi was a good kid when he was little? If he wasn't, don't blame me, his uncle, for spanking him. ]

Yin Zhuo likes children the most, especially chubby and cute ones who are one or two years old.

He didn't like three or four-year-olds. He disliked fat kids of this age more than dogs.

But when Hongxi was brought in from Yuqing Palace, Yin Zhuo was stunned when he saw the fat baby on the bed.

"He, why is he so small?"

Yin Zhuo subconsciously thought that Hongxi was at least one or two years old by now and could call for help, but now he was still an eight-month-old baby who could only drool and couldn't even turn over properly.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, flicked the boy's face twice with his index finger, and then answered Yin Zhuo's question: "He was born in July last year."

Yin Zhuo frowned, okay, it’s good enough if you don’t cry or make a fuss.

【Hongxi… when the second brother of the crown prince was imprisoned, the emperor still liked this grandson more and kept him in the palace for education. During the Yongzheng period, he was even named a prince and a relative. But it is unknown why his status took a sharp turn for the worse during the Qianlong period, and he was imprisoned until his death. Some say that as the legitimate son and grandson, he was the most orthodox heir to the throne, but he still had ambitions, which were discovered by Qianlong, and then he had private exchanges with Yunlu and others. There are also rumors that he practiced witchcraft and wanted to become the emperor of a unified country, which was discovered by Qianlong, but it is unknown whether these are true or not. From another perspective, some people say that he was framed.】

Yin Zhuo was a little distracted, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his fingertips were a little wet. He looked down and saw Hong Xi sucking his fingers with a smile.

It doesn't hurt, just a little itchy.

"Call me Uncle Six."

After hearing this, Kangxi stopped playing with the children. Why do they all like to confine them?

Kangxi was in a bad mood. The royal family was indeed ruthless. The scene of brotherly love and respect that he wanted could only exist in his imagination.

He looked at Xiaoliu dimly. The boy was still teasing the child heartlessly.

Kangxi watched them interacting and seemed to have some feelings in his heart. He then decided to put aside these unpleasant things that had not happened. Yin Zhuo then heard Kangxi casually say, "I don't know when I can hold your child."

Yin Zhuo black lines: ...

The pressure to get married and have children is really terrible. It comes again and again. I know I can't escape this topic.

He pretended not to hear.

Kangxi saw that he was doing it on purpose, so he grabbed his ear and said, "I am talking to you."

Who knew that Yin Zhuo was also a vengeful person. He immediately reacted and grabbed Hongxi's white and tender little ears, saying unconvincedly: "When will you let go, your son will let go too."

Feeling the pain, Hongxi opened his mouth blankly, confusion written all over his little face.

"Six? Six six—whuhuhuhuhu—"

Liuliu grabbed him by the hand, so naughty!

Yin Zhuo looked at Hong Xi who was crying out of grievance:?

It’s over, the kid who was bullied can now speak!
