Kangxi had made up his mind. He would go on the trip to Mobei regardless of whether Yinzuo was willing or not. Yinzuo was not stupid. Kangxi had made it very clear that his trip to Mobei was to gild himself. Since that was the case, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Since it was a fact that could not be changed, Yinzuo did not dwell on it. He had always been a carefree person. As the saying goes, drink today and worry about tomorrow. Anyway, that would be in February of next year at the latest. Isn't his money the most important thing right now?
"Father, you haven't said whether you will give the silver to your son or not?"
Good boy, after all this time, you still haven't forgotten this? Kangxi looked at his son who was staring at him expectantly, raised his hand and patted his forehead in annoyance.
"Didn't you just say that with this little bit of promise, we'll each take half of the silver? Liang Jiugong, go get your Sixth Prince two hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and put the remaining half in my private vault."
Yinzuo was so regretful now. He tried to hold it in but couldn't help it and slapped himself in the face. You are so quick to talk. It turned out that Ama Khan had no intention of withholding the money from him from the beginning. He actually sent these 200,000 taels of silver to someone else's private treasury.
The slap that Yinzuo gave Kangxi was quite heavy. The loud slap scared Kangxi so much that when he came to his senses, he quickly pulled Yinzuo to his side. Without even looking closely, he could see that the corner of his mouth had turned red.
"You bastard, you didn't hit yourself in the face, you hit me so hard. Liang Jiugong, go get some ointment and apply it on him. Then go get him the two hundred thousand taels of silver. Look at how capable he is. He thinks such a small amount of money is worth hitting himself so hard."
Yinzuo didn't expect that his slap would be so powerful. He sat there in a daze and let Kangxi apply medicine on him. He didn't come to his senses until he took the box containing the other half of the silver notes handed to him by Liang Jiugong.
"Khan Ama, did you really give this money to your son?"
Kangxi glanced at Yinzuo, whose chin was still red, with annoyance, snorted and turned his head away to ignore him. You are regretting it now. I am afraid that if I don’t give you this money, you will get sick when you go back.
Seeing that Kangxi ignored him, Yinzuo didn't care. He happily took out the silver bills from the box and counted them. Then he took out 100,000 taels from it, put it back into the box, and pushed it to Kangxi.
"Khan, please don't be so stingy. You have to understand your son, right? This is two hundred thousand taels. I have never seen so many banknotes in my life. How can I not feel bad if you take so much away from me at once? Look, I gave you half of it. Can you please not be so mean to me?"
After hearing what Yinzuo said, Kangxi just turned around and glanced at the box that Yinzuo pushed over, and ignored his son who was smiling apologetically. He thought to himself, I am richer than the whole world and I don’t care about your mere 100,000 taels. When Yinzuo saw Kangxi’s reaction, he thought, well, the old man is quite arrogant. Is he really angry?
"It seems that Father is really angry with his son. Fine, since Father doesn't value his little money, I'll take it first. I think Father probably doesn't want to see his son now, so I won't bother you anymore..."
Seeing that the boy was about to run away with the things, Kangxi couldn't let him get away with it so easily. He quickly winked at Liang Jiugong, who stepped forward to stop Yinzuo.
"Sixth Prince, look at you..."
Seeing that Kangxi didn't say anything, Yinzuo ignored Liang Jiugong and walked past him, pretending to walk out. Kangxi knew from this that Liang Jiugong couldn't stop this brat.
"You bastard, you can go, but leave your things to me."
As soon as Kangxi opened his mouth, Yinzuo started laughing. He didn't leave at this moment. He turned around and walked back to Kangxi, put the box in his hand on the table in front of him, and sat opposite him with a smile.
"Father, you are such a fool. If you want it, just tell your son directly. This is silver, one hundred thousand taels at that. Anyone would want it."
Seeing Yinzuo taking advantage of him, Kangxi couldn't stand it anymore. He searched around and grabbed the white jade scratcher next to him and hit him. Yinzuo didn't expect Kangxi to attack suddenly, and he took the hit. The pain made him unable to sit still.
"Khan Ama, I am your own son, how could you have the heart to hit me? Look at me, I am now red."
Yinzuo had been pampered for many years and had a good coat of leather. It was precisely because of his fair skin that the red mark on his skin was more obvious at this time. Kangxi was so angry at Yinzuo that he did not hold back any strength. The power of this blow can be imagined. Without looking at the red mark on his arm, just looking at Yinzuo's tearful eyes, you can tell that this blow must have hurt.
"Hey, why are you still crying? I didn't use much strength just now, how did I get beaten like this? Look at you, you are usually very smart, why didn't you dodge just now..."
This trip to the Palace of Heavenly Purity ended with Yinzuo's arm being gloriously injured because of his bad mouth, but it was not entirely without benefits. In the end, he got back the 400,000 taels of silver in one piece. Not only that, Kangxi felt distressed after beating his son in anger, so on New Year's Eve, Yinzuo received a reward that was twice as much as that of other princes.
"Yinzuo, I envy you..."
"Xiao Liu, my second brother is also envious..."
"Sixth brother, third brother is envious..."
"Sixth brother, fourth brother also..."
As soon as Yinzuo saw this situation, he knew that his brothers were jealous of each other again. Seeing that his dear fourth brother had spoken, he knew that if he let them continue to make trouble, he might not be able to keep what he had.
"Stop, don't envy me. I exchanged my arm for this reward. Look at this. The wound on my arm was caused by Khan Ama using his scratching stick. It's made of white jade, and it's been half a month and it's still not healed."
Seeing that Yinzuo was shameless and was about to take off his clothes to show them his arms, Yinzhen hurried forward and held down his hands that were unbuttoning his clothes.
"This is just nonsense. How can this be done in public?"
Yinzuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yinzhen come out to stop them. Although he sounded righteous in what he said just now, he was still feeling guilty. After all, the wound on his arm had healed long ago. If no one came to stop him, he would not have left a scar on them.
The family banquet in the Palace of Heavenly Purity had the same routine every year. Yinzuo had been attending it for so many years that he had long felt bored. After finally waiting for the family banquet to end, he hurriedly took his fourth brother, fourteenth brother and brothers to say goodbye and hurried to the Yonghe Palace.
"Fourth Brother, Fourteenth, please hurry up. Mother and Fourth Sister-in-law are still waiting for us to go back and eat dumplings. I'm telling you, you must be careful when eating dumplings. This morning, I gave Chunxiang and the others some golden cakes and asked them to put them in when they were making dumplings. If anyone eats them, it will be considered a good omen for a smooth year ahead and abundant harvests..."
