Chapter 50: The 50th Day of Wanting to Die

So the four of them finished their work, discussed it, and finally decided to go to the Shangshufang to take a look. Didn’t the Emperor tell them before to pay more attention to their younger brothers?

So they had an excuse, and the emperor couldn't say anything when they went to the Shangshufang.

The youngest in the Shangshufang now should be Yinzhen, who is eight years old. Xiaoshiwu is only two years old and still breastfeeding. He is not old enough to go to the Shangshufang.

As for the Yinlu that Xiaoliu mentioned, there is no younger brother with this name yet, so he probably hasn't been born yet.

When Yin Zhuo arrived at the Shangshufang and saw a room full of carrots, he was shocked.

Except for Xiao Shiyi who was on sick leave, the other seven people were all there.

This was the first time that Yin Zhuo met these brothers when he came here, except for Xiao Shisi of course.

[The oldest one must be the seventh child, Yinyou. He looks stronger than me. The other one taller than me must be the eighth child, Yinsi. He looks as gentle as jade. Not bad. Very pleasing to the eyes. The other little radishes are not as tall as me. I win.]

Yin Zhuo was somewhat complacent. Although he was older, he was not the tallest, so it was not out of place for him to study in Shangshufang.

For a moment, Yin Zhuo's repulsiveness disappeared.

Yin Zhuo leaned out of the window and peeked in, looking at each of them one by one, as if to get to know his brothers again.

Little did they know that several people sitting in the house were startled by the sudden sound.

But as princes in the Qing Palace, they were not shocked, but concealed their facial expressions well.

Yinzhen had been fidgeting all day, but he finally calmed down after hearing this familiar voice.

It’s good that Sixth Brother is here.

But half the morning has passed and Sixth Brother has only just arrived. Yinzhen is very worried.

Will the teacher say something to Sixth Brother? Will the other brothers secretly laugh at Sixth Brother...

Especially the eighth, ninth and tenth brothers, these three of them form a small group.

The most insidious of them is probably the starling, no matter how he knew it.

Because he was once a member of the group, but the ninth and tenth brothers were unwilling to take him to play, only the eighth brother was willing.

Before he was scolded by his Sixth Brother, he thought that Eighth Brother was his real brother. But after spending some time with his Sixth Brother during the period of house arrest, he realized that the Sixth Brother’s beating and scolding were out of love and affection, and only Eighth Brother was his relative.

Compared with the sixth brother, the eighth brother feels weird.

There was a feeling of entanglement. He was the superior and I felt like I was being given alms. Anyway, it was very awkward for us to get along with each other.

It has been two days since he came back, but he has not taken the initiative to look for Bage and the others. Instead, Bage has been testing him, wanting to know more about Sixth Brother.

Who is Yinzhen? He is a naughty kid with a very bad temper. He just scolded the mynah bird back.

This even caused the ninth and tenth brothers to stand up for the eighth brother. It was obvious that the disaster was caused by the eighth brother, but in the end he became the peacemaker and they became the troublemakers.

This made Yinzhen very unhappy.

When he heard that his sixth brother was coming to the study, he was so excited that he took an extra portion of his own pens, ink, paper and inkstone and occupied the table next to him, intending to keep them for his sixth brother. However, he waited for the whole morning and his sixth brother only came now.

Yinzhen thought about it and covered his face with a book, then glanced out the window and saw a little bald head peeking around.

Yin Zhuo was observing outside the door when he saw Xiao Shisi had discovered him. Yin Zhuo made a gesture to him and glared at him.

[I knew that this damn kid, Fourteen, would never take his lessons seriously. He's daydreaming again. If he gets caught, don't blame him for going to E'niang and the Emperor to complain. As your brother, I will definitely correct this bad behavior.]

The criticized protagonist Yinzhen: …

No, what did he do again?

He has already discovered that Sixth Brother simply dislikes him!

So annoying.

Sixth brother is so annoying.

So many people must have heard it. Even though he is small, he still needs to save face.

So, Yin Zhuo found out that Yin Zhen had turned into a puffer fish face and was furious.

[This kid still dares to resist and get angry. I'll let him see why the flowers are so red. Didn't I just glare at him? He actually dares to get angry and look at me coldly? Has he grown wings? ]

Yinzhen was publicly executed again:%&&…

Whoever wants this lousy brother can have him, he doesn’t want him anymore, what a lousy brother.

Yinzhen's ears turned red and he lowered his head to read a book, but he couldn't read a single word and his mind was a mess.

Sixth brother is so bad.

How is he going to continue to work in the Shangshufang in the future?

Yinzhen is angry.

Others were also shocked.

Yinsi never thought that he could really hear his sixth brother's thoughts and be so active (?

This was completely different from the Sixth Brother he had imagined.

This voice sounded so lively. For a moment, Yinsi was actually a little jealous of Yinzhen. Is this the relationship between brothers?

Well, no wonder Yinzhen doesn't want to play with Sixth Brother. He's too controlling.

Fourteen didn’t do anything.

Yinsi's brows slightly wrinkled as he thought of the changes that had taken place in Fourteenth after he came back from house arrest.

Could it be that Sixth Brother’s story is also involved here?

Or was it that Sixth Brother asked Fourteen not to play with him?

Otherwise he couldn't understand why Fourteen was unwilling to pay attention to him.

Because the seventh brother is a loner, he has always regarded himself as the eldest brother in the Shangshufang, managing his younger brothers. He knows each of their personalities very well, and everyone trusts him.

But if Sixth Brother comes...

Yinsi's face was full of solemnity, but he finally decided to forget it. Sixth brother's health had not recovered yet, and he didn't know how many days he would be able to come.

Thinking of this, Yinsi felt better, his face regained its gentle expression, and he looked at the textbook gently, as if he had not noticed his sixth brother.

Yinzhen and Yin'e looked at each other in shock and wanted to say something, but when they thought of the emperor's previous instructions and looked at the other brothers' reactions who pretended nothing had happened, they shuddered and shut their mouths.

If they dare to speak out, the emperor will throw away his own son tomorrow.

They had heard of the name of Sixth Brother, not to mention that the Emperor and several older brothers had been protecting him.

Yinzhen is small, but not stupid. Besides, he is not small anymore, he is already twelve years old.

But there were some things he wanted to get answers from his sixth brother.

Because two days ago his mother called him back and gave him a scolding, and didn't allow him to play with the mynah bird.

Of course Yinzhen didn't listen. Didn't E'niang always care about Eleven?

How can you still care about him?

But today, after hearing his sixth brother's voice, Yinzhen inexplicably thought of E'niang's warning.

What on earth did the starling do?

Yinzhen's heart was like a cat's claws, wanting to get to the bottom of the situation, but he couldn't ask directly.

I hope that Sixth Brother can get the answer during his studies here.

What made Yinzhen feel even more strange was that his fifth brother, who had never cared about him, secretly visited him twice.

You know, although the two were born to the same mother, they did not grow up together, so their relationship is not as good as that between him and the Tenth Brother.

How should I describe Fifth Brother’s attitude? It’s just like Sixth Brother’s attitude towards Fourteenth Brother.

Very serious, as if he was a bad brother.

Today, Yinzhen understood his fifth brother a little bit. It turns out that older brothers treat younger brothers the same way.

Very disgusted.

Is this the unique way for an older brother to pamper his younger brother?

Yinzhen secretly curled his lips, but for the first time in his heart he really wanted to see his fifth brother.

After all, in terms of kinship, the fifth brother is his real brother.

Yin'e was simply surprised, and was completely heartless, but he kept stealing glances at Yin Zhuo, and used his peripheral vision to observe the reactions of his eighth and ninth brothers, and found that each of them was more hypocritical than the other.

Yin'e lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, but one thing was certain that his mind was not on the book.

Yinyou was originally sitting in a corner. He didn’t have any big requirements for his studies. After all, he would be able to leave the Shangshufang when he turned sixteen next year. But his feet…

I don’t know which of the six ministries the Emperor will assign him to.

He was always indifferent, trying to hide his presence so that others would not notice that he was lame.

Just like when he was a kid, if he walked at the back, no one would see him and laugh at him.

Although his brothers didn't mind, that vague look still pierced his heart like a sharp needle.

When Yinyou heard the noise outside the window, he looked up and saw Xiaoliu looking the same as he remembered, very thin.

But it was a little different, and it felt like there was a breath of life in it.

Not as lifeless as before.

More importantly, Yinyou discovered that his eyes were always crooked, and he looked at you as if he was smiling, and there was a blush on his face. It seemed that the rumors were true, Xiaoliu was really recovered.

The whole person feels healthy again.

That is, why is Xiaoliu’s head bald?

Now Xiaoliu has become a little bald head.

Yinyou remembered that Xiaoliu used to have a braid. When he turned his head just now, he saw clearly that Xiaoliu's braid was gone.

There was light on his head, but Xiaoliu didn't even wear a hat when he came out, just looking carefree in front of people.

What if someone talks about Xiaoliu behind his back?

Yinyou's hand holding the book suddenly tightened, and he thought of himself.

But hearing how energetic Xiaoliu's voice sounded, he probably didn't care.

Yinyou was still worried.

No, I am a few months younger than Sixth Brother, but I keep calling him "Little Six" as if it were a habit.

Who made Xiaoliu sick before? He looks thinner and younger than Laoba.

Sometimes Yinyou subconsciously thought of himself as an older brother and took care of his sickly younger brother, the Sixth Brother.

It has been more than half a year since Sixth Brother last returned to the Shangshufang. I hope that this time Sixth Brother will be in good health.

He has heard a lot of rumors about Sixth Brother in the past few days and is still very curious about him.

And this magical ability.

It would be great if the two of them could graduate from the Shangshufang together. Then he would ask the Emperor to see if he could be assigned to the same place as his sixth brother. This way he could take care of his sixth brother in case anything unexpected happened to him while he was on duty.

Yinxiang and Twelve also knew that Sixth Brother was coming, but they were young and had always been watching the Eighth Brother and the others' actions. Seeing that Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother were sitting quietly, they also did not move.

But the crumpled pages showed that their mood was not at all peaceful at the moment.

They really heard what Sixth Brother was thinking.

Today, the great scholar Zhang Ying was here to lecture on the Analects. He rushed here right after court was dismissed. Not long after the class started, he discovered that all the princes in the room were beginning to be distracted. Just when he wanted to say something, he saw a person outside the window.

It’s the Sixth Prince.

Zhang Ying was still a little puzzled. He thought that the Sixth Prince had some health problems and was unwilling to come today.

I saw the Sixth Prince from a distance yesterday morning and he seemed much more lively.

He just arrived at the Shangshufang but didn't see the Sixth Prince. It seemed that he was late.

How should he be punished? Zhang Ying fell into deep thought for a moment.

Forget it, since the Sixth Prince doesn’t come in, he will just pretend that he didn’t see it.

Yin Zhuo didn't know how many people outside the room were confused because of him.

He was wondering how to get in.

From childhood to adulthood, what he feared most was teachers.

Kangxi, who was planning to watch the show at the side, couldn't help it. This little guy was wandering around the door stealthily for a long time but didn't go in.

Kangxi couldn't help but kick him: "What are you dawdling about?"

His feet are numb from standing.

This brat wouldn't be planning to go around and fool him, right? To avoid this situation, Kangxi decisively stepped forward and planned to help him.

Yin Zhuo was kicked in like this. He covered his butt and looked back at Kangxi.

[This stinky old man kicked me! Why did he kick me for no reason? ]

The few princes who were originally enjoying the excitement suddenly became as quiet as quails.

The air in the Shangshu's room almost froze.

Sixth brother cursed the emperor!

It’s over, Sixth Brother is finished.

Who knew that the next scene would shock everyone.

The emperor happily touched the sixth brother's head. Although he was scolding him, his tone was affectionate: "Who told you to dawdle and not come in?"

Yin Zhuo angrily butted him with his head.
