Yinzhen loudly retorted,
"My tenth brother and I begged Second Brother, not you. It was you who insisted on taking us with you!"
"you!"
Yinzhi was furious.
His face became more and more ferocious and terrifying.
But he seemed to have forgotten that Yin was still in his arms.
Yin cried even harder after seeing his expression.
Yinzhi put Yinzhi down and said angrily,
"I'm such a jerk that I have to rush over to take on all of you troublemakers!"
He finished speaking and yelled at the boatman,
"You little slave, why are you still swimming in the lake? Get back to the dock!"
Yinreng did not hear clearly the dispute between Yinzhi and Yin'er, and then he saw their pleasure boat turn around.
Yinreng then ordered the boatman to turn around.
Soon, several pleasure boats returned to the dock.
Although Yinzhi was angry, he was also afraid that Yinreng and others would go to the emperor to complain, so he did not leave after getting off the boat, but stood in the pavilion at the pier waiting for Yinreng.
Yinreng walked into the pavilion, glanced at a few people, and finally his eyes stopped at the faces of Yinzhen and Yinzhen. He took a step forward, squatted down and looked at Yinzhen.
"What happened to Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi? What wronged them? Why are they crying like this?"
As he spoke, he wiped the dirt off Yinreng's little face with his hands. Seeing this, He Zhuer quickly took out a handkerchief from the lawn mower and handed it to Yinreng.
So Yinreng proceeded to wipe Yinzhen's face, and after that he also wiped Yinzhen's face clean.
This series of actions surprised everyone around. This way of coaxing children was rare even among their mothers.
Yinzhi's face turned pale and blue.
The main purpose of his staying here was to let Yinreng give him some advice. Yinreng should be reprimanded for doing something wrong.
But when he saw Yinreng coaxing Yinsi so patiently, he suddenly realized that Yinsi was only four years old, and the principles he explained to his brothers at the beginning were probably not listened to by anyone except Yinsi.
Yinreng must have known that this would be the result, and deliberately provoked him to jump into the fire pit.
Yinzhi stared at the back of Yinreng's head and gritted his teeth.
Seeing that Yinreng had no intention of blaming Yinzhi, Yinzhen started talking and told Yinreng the story of how Yinzhi had just scared Yinzhi to tears, exaggerating it.
Yinreng felt a little amused. This old ninth brother had never been one to suffer any loss since he was a child. He would definitely retaliate against anyone who provoked him.
After he finished speaking, Yinreng glanced at Yinzhi indifferently and successfully saw the latter's expression as if he had eaten shit.
Yinzhi snorted coldly and muttered softly,
"A treacherous villain!"
Although he lowered his voice, it was not much lower, as if he wanted to let the people in the pavilion hear it on purpose.
Yinreng pretended not to hear, comforted the two of them a few more words, and invited them to Wuyizhai for some snacks. Sure enough, the little ones' mood improved a lot.
Then, Yinreng picked up Yinzhen and said to his brothers around him,
"Little Three, Little Four, Little Eight, you guys should come too..."
He looked at Yinzhi again,
"As for you, come if you want to, forget it if you don't want to."
Yinzhi felt depressed again.
After Yinreng left with a group of his brothers, Yinzhi wanted to throw his sleeves and go straight back to the prince's residence, but after walking a few steps, he felt that he had to go to Wuyizhai to see if there was any difference between where Yinreng lived and where he lived, so he turned back.
Wuyi Zhai is a courtyard with a small pond in the middle, which is connected to the river outside.
However, it is the existence of this pond that makes the connection between the houses on the four sides of east, south, west and north not tight. Each place is connected by a corridor, which does not make it look empty, but exquisite and generous.
Because there were so many people, Yinreng took them directly to the main house. After all, they were all brothers, and he was not married, so there was no need to stop them at the gatehouse and not let them in.
The first thing he did after entering the room was to ask someone to help Yinzhen and others wash up, and then told He Zhuer to arrange snacks and tea to entertain his brothers, while he himself ran to the bedroom to change clothes.
The experiences of several decades in his previous life also left him with something.
For example, mild mysophobia.
When Yinreng came out, he saw that his other brothers were sitting together enjoying snacks and fruits, only Yinzhi was standing next to the antique display cabinet, as if staring at something in a trance.
Only when Yinreng got closer did he see clearly what he was staring at. It turned out to be a Hetian jade Qilin ornament.
Yinreng seemed to have some impression, but after recalling it carefully, he could not remember it clearly.
He asked Yinzhi,
"What are you staring at it for?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhi took a deep breath with a complicated expression.
"When you were a little over four years old, I went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to play with you. I fell in love with this ornament at first sight. I went to ask the Emperor, hoping to get it, but the Emperor said that he had already given it to you and asked me to ask if you were willing to give it to me."
Yinzhi didn't finish what he said next, but Yinreng could guess it.
The original owner was unwilling to give it, and Yinzhi had been raised to have such a domineering personality by the Nalan family. As a result, he must have made the original owner cry. Not only did he not get the thing, he was also severely scolded by the emperor.
It has been nearly ten years, and Yinzhi still remembers what happened back then, which shows how much impact this incident had on him.
Yinreng sighed and said,
"I was a little over four years old at the time. I don't even have any memories, so I don't know how much it hit you so hard. But if you want it, I can give it to you now."
Yinzhi shook his head.
"I'm past the age where I need it."
"Then I will teach you a lesson."
Yinzhi was stunned, a trace of confusion flashed across his face, "What's the reason?"
