Anyone who has grilled skewers by themselves knows that having the ability to see has nothing to do with whether one has the skills or not. The chances of success for the first time without any experience are almost negligible. Yinzhi and his companions originally watched Yinzuo grill the skewers easily and thought that this thing was really as simple as he said. After they started with full confidence, they began to make many mistakes.
"Oh my! Someone come quickly! Why is there a fire down there?"
"Sixth brother, didn't you say this thing was simple? Why did it get burnt right after I tried it?"
"Sixth brother, can you come and help me? Why is there always smoke coming out of me..."
The brothers' flustered and chaotic appearance made Yinzuo, who was standing by, laugh uncontrollably. Instead of going up to help, he stood by and watched the fun, acting like a Versailles.
"Third brother, please keep your voice down. The fire is of course caused by the fat from the skewers dripping into the charcoal basin. If you just pick it up, it will be fine..."
"Fifth brother, weren't you watching me grilling skewers just now? It's really simple..."
"Hey, Seventh Brother, are those skewers? Your Chunchun is just smoking. Dexi, go help him..."
"Fourth brother, why are you so far away from the grill? Aren't you tired of stretching your arms to reach the skewers?"
During one meal, Yinzuo offended all of his brothers. In the end, the princes were unable to eat the meat they had grilled. The farce ended only when the guards stepped forward to take over the work from their masters.
"Alas, it seems that this boast is not so easy to make. I can imagine how Yinzuo will talk down to us with his brothers and sisters in the future."
After cleaning their hands and faces from the barbecue, the brothers returned to the campfire and sat down on blankets to rest. Yinzhi now felt a surge of regret. Why had he believed Yinzuo's lies? Not only was his boasting hopeless, but he had also let Yinzuo, the brat, laugh at him.
"Hahahaha, that's right. From now on, I'll tell my brothers and sisters about this: on July 20th, the 24th year of the Kangxi reign, by a stream in Mulan Paddock, my third brother grilled meat himself so he could brag in front of his brothers, and the result was..."
Yinzuo's gloating instantly aroused public outrage. Yinzhi and several others pressed him on the blanket and started to hit the itchy spots on his body. After a while, Yinzuo couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Hmph, I'm not going to let you go. Brothers, let's work harder and make this brat laugh at us. If he dares to talk down on us in front of his brothers and sisters after this, we can talk down on him too. Let's say it's the 24th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, on July 20th, by a stream in Mulan Paddock, the Sixth Prince caused public outrage by gloating over someone else's misfortune. When we tickled him, he laughed and begged for mercy..."
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that what the third brother said was right, so they scratched even harder.
After this day, Yinzuo officially joined the four-member team of Yinzhi and Yinzhen. Apart from reporting to Emperor Kangxi every morning to pay their respects, they spent the rest of their time having guards ride horses to take them on wild rides around the Mulan Paddock and all over the mountains.
They picked wild fruits on the grassland, caught fish in the stream, hunted pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, had the guards ride horses and take them for races, rowed boats and played in the lake on the grassland, sang and danced and barbecued around the campfire. They tried almost every way they could think of, so much so that when Kangxi wanted to see them, he had to ask the guards to go to the camp gate in advance to wait for them to return.
"I heard that you guys have been very busy lately. I have to make an appointment in advance if I want to see you. Come, Yinzuo, tell me what you guys have been busy with these days."
Of course Kangxi knew where the little guys had gone and what they had done. After all, the guards beside them were all his men. He asked this question just because he was feeling unbalanced and couldn't stand how happy they were living, so he wanted to make them unhappy. Why could they be so comfortable while he was working himself to death? The old father said that he was just being unreasonable.
"To answer Khan Ama, the sons haven't done much these days. We've just taken people to pick wild fruits and catch fish on the grassland, hunt pheasants and rabbits in the woods, and row boats in the lake. We're a little tired from going out all the time these days, so we discussed it and decided not to go too far tomorrow. I heard from Altai that there's a very steep hillside nearby. When they're bored, they usually take people there to go grass skiing, so we decided to give it a try tomorrow."
Yin Zuo's words made his father's already unbalanced heart even more unbalanced. Listen, this is not doing anything? Compared with the colorful life of others, his life is a dark and gloomy life.
"Got it. When you go out to play, be careful and don't run too far. Especially you, Yinzuo. You're so spoiled on weekdays. If you get hurt, you'll definitely come over and hug me and cry until you pass out. I won't be soft-hearted just because you're being spoiled or playing tricks. I'll definitely have the imperial physician prescribe the most bitter medicine for you. Okay, I'm fine now. You can all leave."
The old father said that he didn't want to see these sons who were annoying him at all, so he gave them a few instructions and sent them out. However, as soon as he went out, Yinzuo was surrounded by his brothers.
"Sixth brother, are you really afraid of drinking bitter medicine? You even hugged Khan Ama and cried and acted like a spoiled child for this..."
Ever since they were made fun of by Yinzuo last time, Yinzhi and the others were surprisingly consistent in their attitude towards mocking Yinzuo. Even the usually steady Yinzhen was looking at Yinzuo with curiosity, intending to hear his explanation.
"That's not true. Khan Ama is the same. It's one thing for him to be unhappy with us being so carefree, but how can he spread rumors out of nowhere? When did I…"
