After returning from the southern tour, Yinzuo's life returned to its previous peace. Apart from occasionally reporting to the Ministry of Works when he remembered to do so, he also visited his father's Palace of Heavenly Purity more frequently. After the weather became very hot, he simply stopped going to the Ministry of Works. Every day, after waking up naturally, he would run to his father's place on time to get food, drinks and air conditioning.
"No wonder Su Dongpo said, 'If I could eat 300 lychees a day, I'd be happy to live in Lingnan forever.' Lychees are delicious, but they're a bit scarce. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to experience lychee freedom again in this lifetime..."
As soon as Yinzuo said this, not only Yinzhi and Yinzhen who were sitting beside him, but even Yinreng couldn't help but look at him. Yinzuo, who was happily showing off with the plate, felt a little uneasy under the intense gaze of several people, and his movements in peeling lychees slowed down a lot.
"Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, why are you staring at me like that? It's creepy. I was just expressing my feelings just now. Why is it not okay to express feelings now?"
In fact, it is not the fault of Yinzhi, Yinreng, and Yinzhen for looking at him like this. It is just that Yinzuo's words are too hateful. You know, after the lychees were tributed this year, their biased father not only gave them a plate as a routine reward to try, but kept the rest for his beloved son. My goodness, not to mention the whole capital, even in the whole imperial city, it is probably only this master of their family who eats lychees like this.
"Yinzuo, you're silent, so no one thinks you're dumb. If you eat everything you eat, how can you be free? Do you want me to send you to Lingnan, tie you to a tree, and have you eat while hugging the tree?"
Look, look, why is he so angry when he speaks? Okay, be silent, so be silent. Yinzuo didn't dare to say a word at this time, for fear that he would really anger his elder brother and really drag him outside and tie him to a tree.
Kangxi looked up at the frustrated Yinzuo, and the arc of his mouth widened. It is true that there is always someone stronger than you in this world. It doesn't matter that he has no way to deal with Yinzuo, because he still has Yinzhi to deal with this kid.
Without Yinzuo's disturbance, the atmosphere in the flower hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity was very quiet and harmonious. Kangxi and Yinreng were sitting on the couch playing chess, Yinzhen was sitting not far from the bed, drinking tea quietly with a cup in hand, and Yinzhi stood up and walked to Yinzuo's side to snatch the few remaining lychees from him. As for Yinzuo, his mood at this time could only be described in four words - he had a lot of grievances. His elder brother was really not polite to him. He ate up his few lychees one by one in a short while and almost finished off all his few lychees.
"Brother...Brother, that's enough. Please leave two for your younger brother. Khan Ama only gives me this small plate every day. After I finish it, there really won't be any left today..."
If Yinzuo hadn't mentioned his biased father, Yinzhi might have actually left him two. Listen, if he gets one plate every day, what's the worry if he runs out today? Your father will give you more tomorrow, right? So, take it! Yinzhi exerted a little force, and the entire plate, including the fruit, was in Yinzuo's hand.
It really proved the saying that in the face of absolute strength, any fancy moves are in vain. Yinzuo was angry but dared not say a word in the face of his arrogant and unreasonable elder brother. He glanced at his father and saw that he was playing chess with a serious face, as if he didn't hear anything they were saying at all. Well, it seems that there is no need to file a complaint today. His father must have been annoyed by him these days and was just looking for someone to deal with him.
The hot summer may be unbearable for others, but it is really common for Yinzuo. During the day, he almost always stays in the Qianqing Palace to enjoy his father's air conditioning, and at night he returns to the Nansanso to use the ice as much as he wants. This is not the season when others suffer from heatstroke, but our Prince Zhao has successfully frozen himself.
"Yinzuo, your illness is really new. This is the first time I've heard of someone freezing themselves in the middle of summer. Since you've gotten sick from the cold, I guess you don't need ice anymore. So I won't be polite to you. It's a long way to go. Take some people with Dexi and bring some ice back to our house."
Yinzuo leaned on the couch, took the handkerchief from Dexi's hand, poked his nose, threw the handkerchief into the basket beside him, and then waved to Dexi.
"Didn't you hear what your Third Master said? Hurry up and take Changlu to the ice cellar to get some ice. Third Brother, you don't have to be polite with your younger brother. Anyway, all the ice I have is my share of the Khan Ama. It can be said that there is an inexhaustible supply."
What an inexhaustible supply! Yinzhi's tears of envy were about to flow from the corners of his mouth. Facing Yinzuo's extremely Versailles words, Yinzhi could now remain calm. As the saying goes, if you compare people, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away. His Khan Ama's heart was almost in his throat. If he felt acidic every time, his stomach would not be able to bear it.
"That's great. Third brother would like to thank your sixth uncle on behalf of your nephew and niece. Sixth brother, you don't know, but third brother is very poor now. It's hard for him to support the whole family with his annual salary, let alone spend money to buy extra ice. Since the beginning of summer, the prickly heat on your nephew's back has never gone away..."
Yinzuo didn't believe a word of Yinzhi's words. "You can afford three thousand taels to buy a ring, and you tell me you don't have money to buy ice? And didn't you just take ten thousand taels from me two months ago?" "Fourteenth" keeps calling me stingy. "He should really let him see who the real stingy person is."
"Third brother, you are so poor but so stylish. The autumn fan in your hand is quite nice. Let's not talk about the inscription on the fan, just the material of the fan bone must be quite difficult to find. It is top-grade plum deer. Come on, third brother, why don't you tell your younger brother how much ice this fan can be exchanged for."
As soon as Yinzuo said this, the smile on Yinzhi's face froze. He raised his hand and stuffed the fan in his hand into his sleeve, then stood up and took a few steps back, as if he was afraid that Yinzuo would suddenly stand up and snatch his fan.
"Well... Sixth brother, since you're still sick, I won't disturb you while you recover. I heard that a new storyteller has recently arrived at Yajixuan. I'll take you there when you're better. I'll leave now."
It must be said that Yinzhi really coveted his fan. Look at how fast he was. Before he even finished speaking, he was almost out of the house. Yinzuo naturally didn't want to snatch his third brother's precious fan, but he still found it quite interesting to see him like this, and couldn't help but want to tease his third brother.
"Well, good Third Brother, let's make a deal. Don't forget to bring your fan with you when the time comes. Third Brother left in a hurry today and I didn't get a good look at it. This is a good time to take a closer look."
