Chapter 15 Seven Melons on One Vine



As long as Yinzuo could go out and play, he didn't care who took him out to play. Compared to Yinzuo, he and Kangxi had obviously just gotten to know each other, and compared to Yinzhi who was only fourteen years old, it would definitely be safer to ride Kangxi's horse. So he nodded obediently and followed Kangxi down from the imperial carriage.

Zhuifeng was Kangxi's favorite horse, and it was undoubtedly a divine horse picked from thousands. Its speed was lightning fast. Yinzuo was a little scared and nervous when Kangxi first held him in front of him and urged him to run with Zhuifeng. But he gradually felt that although Zhuifeng ran very fast, it was very stable, so he relaxed and began to enjoy the feeling of running fast.

"Khan Ama, can you ride faster? Horseback riding is really fun."

When Kangxi heard Yinzuo's excited cry, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. At the same time, he slightly clamped his legs to the horse's belly and increased the speed. Zhuifeng seemed to feel his master's intention, and his four hooves flew as if he was walking on flat ground.

Yinzhen and Yinreng, who were following behind them, as well as the guards responsible for protecting their safety, couldn't help but speed up. For a moment, smoke and dust billowed on the official road, and the group left the main force far behind.

The traveling team had a large number of people, so they naturally did not move very fast. They stopped and walked along the way, and slept in the open air. After a few days, they finally arrived at the first rest palace of this trip, Zunhua Hot Spring.

They were going to stay here for a few days, firstly to rest and secondly to worship their ancestors. After all, this place was very close to the imperial mausoleum, and there was no reason not to pay homage to their ancestors when they were here.

But that was obviously not a problem for children like Yinzuo to worry about. As soon as they arrived at the hot spring palace, they were all attracted by the hot spring pools that were everywhere.

"Brothers and sisters, I'll be leaving now. Let's go back to our rooms and change clothes first, then gather in the front hall and soak in the hot spring together later."

Seeing Yinzuo couldn't wait to leave everyone behind, the others smiled at each other helplessly, and tacitly dispersed on the spot and returned to their rooms. After all, Yinzuo was not the only one who was interested in the hot springs here, and they had also been eyeing them for a while.

Because the palace had limited space and there were many accompanying personnel, Yinzuo and his brothers were all arranged to live in one courtyard. Fortunately, the courtyard was big enough, so it didn't seem crowded for them and their servants to live there.

There is a hot spring pool made of white marble in the yard, and it is thoughtfully divided into two parts, deep and shallow, with a partition in the middle. So even if children like Yinzuo want to go in and play, there will be no danger as long as they don't dare to go into the deep water area.

Even for a noble family, it is impossible to be elegant in a bathhouse. Seven brothers from the eldest prince Yinzhen to the seventh prince Yinyou were lined up, all dressed in shirtless and shorts. Yinzuo looked at the seven brothers sitting in a row in the hot spring pool like the Calabash Brothers and couldn't help laughing.

"Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven melons on one vine, not afraid of wind or rain, la la la la..."

Although this strange song sounded a bit strange to the others, it was innocent and interesting. Seeing Yinzuo singing enthusiastically, the others did not stop him. The lyrics of the song were also very simple, with a few sentences repeated over and over again. Later, even the two younger ones, Yinqi and Yinyou, started humming along. For a while, the whole yard was filled with the voices of the Calabash Brothers. Kangxi, who had just entered the door, felt that there might be a gourd spirit in the yard.

"You are the Calabash Brothers, so wouldn't I be the Calabash..."

The few of them were having a great time, perhaps because the atmosphere was too relaxed before. When they saw Kangxi coming, the brothers saluted properly but did not get out of the pool. When faced with Kangxi's question, Yinzuo answered subconsciously without even realizing it.

"Khan Ama, you are not a gourd, you are a snake spirit, the stumbling block that prevents us from saving Grandpa."

Kangxi was confused by Yinzuo's words. Although he didn't understand the relationship between Calabash Brothers, the snake spirit and saving his grandfather, he understood the word "stumbling block".

"You are so audacious that you dare to make up stories about me. It seems that I really need to find time to teach you a lesson."

Yinzuo, who spoke faster than he thought, knew that he was finished as soon as he spoke. Although he knew from Kangxi's tone that he was not angry, he still subconsciously started to act nice.

"Khan, my son must have lost his mind while soaking in the hot spring just now. Please forgive me for my mistakes this time..."

Kangxi was not angry at first. Upon hearing this, he walked to the edge of the pond, squatted down, raised his hand and flicked Yinzuo's forehead hard.

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time."

Yinzuo was hit so hard by the blow on his solid head that he saw stars and tears welled up in his eyes. He covered his forehead and looked at Kangxi who was standing on the shore with an accusing look.

"Khan Ama, how could you bully a child? How could you be so mean? You said you forgave me, so how could you still flick my forehead?"

Faced with his son's tearful accusation, Kangxi raised his hand to his mouth and cleared his throat guiltily, then took Yinzuo out of the hot spring and handed him to Dexi who was waiting with a towel nearby.

"Dexi, quickly take your young master to clean up. As for the rest of you, don't just stand there. Go back and clean up as well. Come to my yard and have dinner with me later."

If we were to say what Yinzuo's lifelong wish was, it would be nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun. Now his life obviously has nothing to do with fun, so the only things left are eating and drinking, so naturally he is more obsessed with it.

"Dexi, didn't you hear what Khan Ama said? Stop standing there and go get some water. Let's pack up and go to Khan Ama's place for dinner."
