Chapter 61: The 61st Day of Wanting to Die
After Yin Zhuo finished eating, he was sweating all over and his mouth was red. He didn't expect that he couldn't eat spicy food.
And it's not just him, Kangxi and his other brothers are similar. But spicy food is a bit addictive. After one bite, you want a second bite.
So, several people were so spicy that they ran to the toilet.
Yin Zhuo held his stomach and groaned continuously, with cold sweat on his forehead.
[I am now more crispy than the crispy college student. I can eat spicy food like this. No one else can do this. It's so embarrassing.]
Yin Zhuo rubbed his stomach and covered his face with a pillow, facing his father and brothers in silence.
It was he who suggested the hotpot, but I ended up eating it so hard that I collapsed.
Needless to say, he couldn't go to the horse riding class in the afternoon. Although he didn't want to go, his reason for asking for leave was that he was too spicy to get out of bed.
Kangxi, who was standing next to him, almost died of laughter when he heard Xiaoliu's thoughts.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "You, you just recovered from a serious illness and have been eating light food. Of course you can't stand spicy food."
Isn't it crispy?
He was the only one in the entire Qing Palace who was so fragile that he would be lying in bed and unable to get out of bed at any time.
He injured his leg while riding a horse two days ago. He was injured all morning today and went back to bed after lunch. Kangxi really didn't know what to say.
Yin Zhuo swallowed his saliva and said, "No, I want to eat more. Next time I won't eat spicy food, I'll eat a lighter soup base."
Seeing that he was really uncomfortable and hungry, Kangxi softened his heart and said, "Okay, okay, you should take good care of your stomach first. I will go to the kitchen to ask if they can prepare some medicinal food."
Kangxi suddenly had an idea and thought that medicinal food could be used as the base of the pot, which would definitely be good for health.
Yin Zhuo's face turned green. "No, no, no, just a clear soup base. Don't use medicinal food. I can't enjoy it."
[If medicinal food is used as the base of the pot, it will be so unpalatable. ]
The worried Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Brothers were relieved to see that Sixth Brother was so cheerful.
Fortunately, they did not learn from the Sixth Brother. If everyone had learned from the Sixth Brother, the one who would be unable to get out of bed now would be the Emperor.
Several people touched their noses and surrounded the bed.
When Yin Zhuo looked up, he was shocked by these brothers.
[My dear friends, those who don’t know me would think that I am seriously ill and will die soon. I cannot bear it if you all stay by my bed. When my father died, there might not have been so many brothers around him.]
Kangxi's teeth suddenly itched. This little boy really said whatever he wanted.
It makes people want to beat him up.
The faces of several brothers also changed. What Sixth Brother said was too straightforward.
But somehow there is definitely some truth to it. At that time, they might not have been able to confine so many people.
Yin Zhuo waved his hand weakly: "You guys should leave quickly. By the way, remember to hand in your homework on the evening of the 12th, 13th and 14th. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll appreciate your masterpieces."
[Let me see how you compare to Qianlong.]
Kangxi suddenly became serious: "Treat him well and do as your sixth brother said. I will check it when I have time."
Speaking of this, Kangxi found that he suddenly forgot something.
Yin Zhuo also remembered.
Wait, the last time he left the palace, the Emperor clearly asked him to take back Fourth Brother’s treasures. As long as he took them back from Fourth Brother, they would belong to him and he could put them in his private warehouse.
As a result, he just remembered it now.
Why didn't Fourth Brother mention this?
Yin Zhuo frowned, thinking that his fourth brother was not kind.
But it was indeed his fault, he forgot about it.
Fortunately, the Emperor hasn't remembered it yet, so he can just ask Fourth Brother to send it back when the time comes.
Kangxi sneered and pinched his face. Seeing a red mark on his face, he said lightly, "Did you forget something?"
Kangxi looked at his eyes with satisfaction and stammered, "No, I have been recovering from my illness."
Kangxi did not point it out, he just thought it was fun to tease him. When he heard him say this, he suddenly realized, "Oh? So that's it, then the emperor remembered it wrongly."
Yin Zhuo was afraid that Kangxi would remember it, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, the emperor is old."
Kangxi was caught off guard and stabbed.
"...Shut up, my mouth is so swollen and I can't stop you."
Kangxi said unhappily.
Yinyou watched with great interest. It was really interesting to hear the Emperor talking to his sixth brother. Moreover, his sixth brother looked frightened and bold, and his expression was very funny.
The Emperor obviously knew what was going on and was just teasing the Sixth Brother. The Sixth Brother thought the Emperor had forgotten and simply said that he was old.
The emperor's expression froze.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen such an expression on the Emperor's face in all these years.
There is a feeling of being frustrated, but there is nothing I can do.
At this moment, Yinyou felt a little sour in his heart. To be honest, the emperor seemed much more popular this way. He didn't talk to them like before, with a sense of superiority and distance.
He is a little jealous of Sixth Brother.
He is also a little envious of the Emperor. Although Sixth Brother says this about the Emperor, he still respects him very much in his heart.
What kind of feeling does Sixth Brother give people?
Simple?
I guess so. It's a very clean and pure feeling, like a little sun, trying hard to radiate its warmth.
He is the one who originally grew up in darkness but was taken care of by the warmth of the Sixth Brother.
In the future, he will also learn from his sixth brother and become a great general, leading the Eight Banners to guard the capital and the Qing Dynasty.
Yinyou looked down at his shoes, which were the most precious gift his sixth brother had given him.
He can't pay it back in his lifetime, so he'll just protect Sixth Brother for the rest of his life.
Yinyou planted a seed of protection in his heart, and with a smile on his face he watched his sixth brother, who was lying on the bed with a pale and very weak face, complaining to the emperor.
No wonder the Emperor likes to follow the Sixth Brother. It is so happy to be around the Sixth Brother.
What Sixth Brother said was interesting, and the way he made the Emperor so angry was also very funny.
Yinsi was jealous. He knew his status since he was a child. Although he lived with his elder brother, he still felt inferior to him.
What's more, that was Yinzhen, his elder brother and the eldest prince of the Qing Dynasty, who had been fighting with his second brother, the crown prince, since childhood.
He tried hard to get along well with every brother and put on a mask of hypocritical kindness.
But just a few days ago, his mask was taken off by Sixth Brother.
He was indeed worried for two or three days, but gradually he calmed down. Just like the eldest brother and the second brother said, they had also experienced such emotions and it would be fine after it passed.
The Emperor treats every prince equally, and this is indeed the case.
During these three days, Yinsi had been working hard and was very tired, but he felt relaxed because he didn't have to think about interpersonal relationships or other people's opinions of him, which were unimportant things.
Even sleeping can be extended by one hour.
But the Emperor did not treat every prince equally, for example, the Sixth Prince was now having his belly rubbed by the Emperor, and he was rolling around on the bed laughing so hard.
The Emperor actually acted like a child and deliberately tickled Sixth Brother's belly.
If he had seen this scene before, he would have been shocked, but now he has gotten used to it.
Sixth brother is that special existence.
In fact, according to what Sixth Brother said, if he planned all his life and still lost in the end, he might as well give up now. At least he can keep his identity and avoid being imprisoned or expelled.
Wouldn't it be better not to do anything risky?
No matter whether the throne belongs to his fourth brother or second brother, it has nothing to do with him, Yinsi.
He should just put down his burdens and live again, live for himself.
Thinking of this, the expression on Yinsi's face relaxed, and his shoulders, which had been tense, also relaxed at this moment.
Still so comfortable.
Yinzhen had already told Concubine Yi and his fifth brother about the matter, and the three of them had a thorough talk about it.
He decided to do as his sixth brother said, learn foreign languages, and then make money from foreigners.
Since Sixth Brother can say he makes money, he can make money.
E'niang told them about Xiao Shiyi, whose health was getting worse and worse.
Now I can’t even go to Shang’s study.
It looks exactly the same as when Sixth Brother was sick.
They all prayed that Xiao Shiyi could regain his life like Liu Ge, but the possibility was very slim.
Yinzhen didn't like Xiaoyi, he really didn't like her.
Because after he was born, he would often fall ill, and then his mother would always stay with him and ignore him.
The fifth brother can go to the Royal Mother, but he can only go to the tenth brother.
After he looked at Xiao Shiyi carefully, tears almost fell from his eyes. Xiao Shiyi was too thin.
He seemed to have a big head. He sat on the bed reading a book and asked in a low voice when he could go to the study room to study.
Yinzhen almost shed tears.
He was not nice to Little Eleven, but when Little Eleven looked at him eagerly and wanted to play with him, Yinzhen really felt that he was not a good brother and that he was too bad.
Although he was very busy and tired these past two days, he would always go play with Xiao Shiyi for a while when he got home and let him see the sun.
His mother asked him to ask his sixth brother what was going on with Little Eleven?
But what Yinzhen didn't dare to say was that Sixth Brother didn't mention the future of Little Eleven in his thoughts.
It only belongs to him and Fifth Brother, so...
Xiao Eleven probably doesn't have much time left.
Little Eleven, like Sixth Brother, was born with the disease.
As Yinzhen thought about it, tears came to his eyes.
When Yin Zhuo looked up, he met Lao Jiu's red rabbit-like eyes. He was startled and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Yinzhen?"
[It’s over, you won’t cry because of the spicy food, right? ]
Yinzhen sniffed and said with a smile, "I had chili peppers on my hands and accidentally rubbed my eyes."
Kangxi frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with his mood, but he didn't say anything.
"Someone, take Ninth Prince to wash his eyes."
Yinzhen hurriedly followed the others, fearing that he would lose his composure again.
[Could this child be crying because of the Emperor's exhaustion? The Emperor is indeed a capitalist, not even sparing the children. They are child laborers! ]
康熙不懂什麽資本家不資本家的,他是皇帝。
小六口中的封建君王,至于老九,肯定是想到了什麽難受的事。
康熙覺得自己這個皇阿瑪做的還挺不合格的,對幾個孩子的關心都不夠啊。
他嘆了一口氣:“是皇阿瑪的錯,對你們關照不夠,以後你們晚膳都在乾清宮用,然後交代一下,你們當天做了什麽,學了什麽。”
這下子,不知胤禟想哭,剩餘的幾個人也都想哭,眼淚難受的都快掉下來了。
皇阿瑪可別了,那以後每天從起床就都不痛快了。
想到要在那麽多人面前被皇阿瑪檢查功課,背上來就算了,背不上來就丢臉丢盡了。
一時間,衆人面如土灰。
一個個都快趕上尹灼生病的臉色了。
尹灼看的想笑。
【哈哈哈哈聽到這話,我這幾個兄弟臉色都變了,最怕家長突如其來的關心,還不如直接放縱他們算了,真可憐喲,但我好開心,到時候有免費的節目表演下飯了。】
尹灼還有些期待呢。
康熙狐疑的回頭:“你樂什麽呢?還有你呢。”
尹灼臉上的笑容頓時僵住:“皇阿瑪,兒臣身子骨不行啊。”
說着,尹灼捂着肚子又哼唧了起來。
“朕看你挺行的,皇阿瑪最看好的就是你,放心皇阿瑪最疼你了,到時候讓你第一個表演。”
康熙還給他眨了眨眼。
尹灼咬牙。
【這份厚愛我可承受不起!唉,我都要死了還要折磨我。】
尹灼跟霜打的小白菜似的,蔫噠噠的。
然後一頭栽進被子裏,不想理他們了:“你們走吧,我困了。“
反正下午他也沒事。
康熙見他說睡就睡,賭氣的連看他們一眼都不願意,沒好氣的拍了拍他的屁股:“行了,朕帶人走了,你好好休息。“
康熙見他還有力氣生氣,這心算是放下去了。
他還要帶人去幹活呢。
康熙把人帶到了禦書房,然後看着十二十三十四,然後想到了小六說的什麽童工之類的。
他勾唇一笑,然後問道:“你們是去上課,還是在這幫你們七哥八哥九哥十哥緩解一下壓力。”
這幾個孩子是挺累的,康熙也願意給他們找幫手。
胤裪胤祥還有胤祯對視了一眼,眼裏都是好奇和躍躍欲試。
旁邊四個人就不動聲色的看着他們三個小的,嘴唇都樂的抖了一下,又硬生生的壓了下去。
這三個真不懂享受,竟然還有一絲迫不及待?
果然是沒吃過苦。
果然,胤祯見兩個哥哥同意,直接道:“兒臣願意幫哥哥們。”
康熙就知道是這樣,于是對着七八九十道:“帶着他們三個去做事,對了,老九先留一下。”
他還想問問剛剛老九為什麽哭呢。
胤禩想說什麽,但也沒張口。
他們三個這幾天的氣氛怪怪的,因他而起,但他也不知道怎麽解決。
所以現在三個人都跟胤佑的關系很好。
胤俄也想說點什麽,但擔憂的拍了拍胤禟的肩膀就出去了。
希望沒什麽大事。
九哥也不像個愛哭的啊,怎麽在六哥和皇阿瑪面前直接掉淚了。
三個人出去之後,一人領着一個幫手,把自己的任務量直接分了一半出去,看他們年齡小體諒一番?
那絕對不可能,都是皇阿瑪的兒子,當然要做一樣的任務。
三個人見自己的任務都少了,一個個都輕松的呼了一口氣,看來今天能夠早點休息。
胤裪胤祥胤祯卻有些傻眼。
皇阿瑪說讓他們來幫四位哥哥,但這四位哥哥可是一點都不客氣啊。
這麽多嗎?
于是,沒一會兒還興沖沖的三個人臉色變得跟七哥八哥十哥一樣,苦大仇深的。
怎麽這麽多啊?
怪不得大哥着急。
人手确實不夠啊,但小十五現在才兩歲,抱過來也添亂。
但就是不平衡。
至于六哥,他們想都不敢想了,六哥過來不給他們找事就好了。
呼,還是做吧。
禦書房內,康熙看着胤禟的臉,嘆了一口氣,端起茶杯抿了一口,然後慢慢的道:“說吧,怎麽回事?可別說辣椒辣眼。”
胤禟臉一紅,自己的借口是拙劣了一點。
但他不知道能不能說,最終見皇阿瑪一定要問的架勢,他才有些擔憂的道:“兒臣擔心十一的身體,他現在都下不了床了,就像六哥……”
當初那樣。
但見皇阿瑪的臉色陰沉了下來,也不敢繼續說了。
六哥跟十一是不一樣的。
康熙心情也十分沉重:“确實沒在你六哥的心中聽到關于小十一的事。”
胤禟心中一沉,皇阿瑪是跟六哥相處最久的,他都沒聽說過,那小十一确實兇多吉少。
但生死有命,胤禟現在只能再從太醫院下手了。
他就不信沒有轉機。
“你不要去問你六哥,不要讓他知道關于心聲的事。”
小六那麽一個活潑開朗的人,而且還很要面子。
要是知道他的心聲被所有人都聽到之後,說不定會做出什麽事。
康熙現在不敢冒一點險。
想着,他聲音都變冷了:“也不要故意去試探你六哥,他是什麽樣的人你知道,不然別怪朕心狠。”
康熙這直接是威脅了。
胤禟被皇阿瑪眼中的殺意吓到了,面色蒼白道:“兒臣不會。”
康熙從禦案後面出來,摸了摸他的頭:“好孩子,朕會去看看十一的,畢竟你們都是皇阿瑪的孩子。”
胤禟現在什麽小心思都沒有了。
連忙道:“好,兒臣也會讓人去找神醫,看能不能幫幫十一。”
康熙點頭:“也好,太醫院那邊朕會讓鄭太醫過去。”
鄭太醫就是一直跟在小六身邊的禦用太醫,應該對這方面有自己獨到的辦法。
胤禟直接跪下謝恩。
要是鄭太醫過去,他也能安心。
畢竟六哥就是鄭太醫治好的。
胤禟走出來的時候,腿腳發軟,皇阿瑪實在是太吓人了。
今天也是他魯莽了。
直接在六哥面前哭了出來,他扇了自己一巴掌,也不知道當時六哥有沒有懷疑。
回去之後,他見幾個當哥哥的根本不當人,把自己的任務量給幾個小的分了,他沒說什麽,低頭整理了一下自己的桌面,然後沉下來做事。
但宮裏又收到了皇上的警告,一個個都老實了起來。
一些動心思的也不敢去挑戰康熙的權威。
畢竟後宮是皇上說了算。
連太皇太後都管不住皇上。
為小命着想的話,還是離六阿哥遠點吧。
尹灼喝了藥,但胃部火辣辣的,根本睡不着。
一直翻來覆去的的,最後翻累了,抱着枕頭捂着肚子睡了過去。
但依舊睡的不安穩,腦袋都出汗了。
他醒來的時候,胃部的疼痛減輕了不少,後背都汗濕了。
他直接讓小太監給自己備水,然後打算沐浴。
沐浴的時候,尹灼聞着香香的皂角,心中一動。
對啊,人家穿越的标配不就是肥皂玻璃水泥嗎?
他怎麽就沒想到呢。
要知道洋人靠着香水也騙走了不少錢,香水他也知道配方啊。
主要是蒸餾器的問題,但不怕,皇阿瑪手下肯定有人。
于是,尹灼一口氣把香水和肥皂的配方都給寫了下來。
寫完之後,他還收到了佟國維和隆科多的來信。
果然,關于裹腳的事遭到了權貴的反對,貧苦百姓覺得無所謂,但稍微有些小錢的卻十分的抗議。
但皇上下死命令了,又免費發放織布機,很快那些人就撐不住了。
佟國維直接從勞苦大衆入手,統計死亡數字的時候都被數據吓了一跳。
基本上十個裹腳的得有一兩個因為腳步發炎疼痛給疼死的。
一個個年齡都還不大,佟國維作為一個大男人,看着都忍不住落淚。
真的慘。
遇到抗議的直接抓起來當典型,誰不願意就把他的腳給裹起來,裹個一夜就老實了。
嚷嚷的怪兇,裹個一天就受不了了。
想再說什麽也說不上來了。
走的時候還順便給縣令發了一個任務,讓他們把寫了護腳小知識的紙張上的內容給宣傳出去。
宣傳裹腳害人,舉報有獎的強硬口號。
引得不少書生都痛罵佟國維。
畢竟他們可不敢罵皇上,皇上可是誰都不怕的,當時鳌拜和吳三桂可都是死在他手上的。
佟國維也不管,誰罵就給他裹腳。
你不是喜歡嗎?
你喜歡就自己裹。
他原本打算把那些人的腳給打折的,但覺得過于殘暴,還是沒那樣做。
不然給六阿哥也交不了差。
但不得不說,六阿哥那個紡織機立了大功,只要把紡織機拿出來,那些人就沒有不心動的。
畢竟是免費的啊,免費的。
誰不喜歡免費的東西呢。
更何況,這也不是普通的紡織機,這可是改良版的。
紡紗的速度快多了。
所以,大體上來說,佟國維的執行力還是很強的。
尹灼看了彙報的折子,很是滿意。
看到有些書生寫詩罵人,直接冷笑,佟國維做得對,要他說,直接給那些書生們裹一輩子算了。
這是什麽癖好,自己喜歡就自己裹呗。
After being wrapped up for a whole day, he started whining and couldn't stand it anymore.
I don’t want to think about how those people who have been bound all their lives survived.
A pair of good feet have never walked on the road firmly.
Those three-inch little feet might really be like the legendary mermaid who felt like she was walking on the tip of a knife when she walked on the road.
Yin Zhuo felt that wearing these foot bindings was no different from walking on a knife.
Yin Zhuo was very pleased with the recipes and asked someone to give them to Kangxi.
Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to go by himself.
He wants to take credit!
Yin Zhuo instantly felt that his stomach pain was gone and his whole body felt relaxed.
I want rewards, I want gifts, I want a house!
He just didn't believe that the Emperor would continue to hold it back from him!
If that were the case, he would really be in big trouble.
