There is a saying that goes, "We are not afraid of long-lasting noise, nor are we afraid of long-lasting silence, but we are afraid of the sudden silence after a short period of noise." It was fun for everyone to get together and play, but the loneliness that followed this lively gathering seemed to have a lingering effect. It has been three days since the party ended, and Yinzuo is still a little shocked.
"well……"
Yinzuo's sigh made Liang Jiugong shudder. Three days, three whole days, this gentleman didn't say a word except this one word every day. Didn't you see that the emperor's brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a fly to death these two days? If this continues, he is really afraid...
Yinzuo had no idea what Liang Jiugong was thinking at this time. He turned over with his pillow in his arms, raised his hand and pulled the quilt over his head. Kangxi heard the noise and looked at him. Seeing that he had covered his head with the quilt, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"Yinzuo, get your head out of the quilt and tell your father what's wrong with you these past few days. You've been sighing all day long. Is it because Fourteenth is bothering you again, or is it because Mother is scolding you again?"
It's no wonder that Kangxi thought this way. After all, these two were the only ones in Changchun Garden that Yinzuo couldn't do anything to. He never would have thought that the reason his beloved son was like this now was all because of the withdrawal reaction after the party.
"Don't worry, Ama. I'm just a little bored."
Bored? Didn't we just have a party a few days ago? It's only been a few days and I'm already bored again. But isn't there a saying that the key to solving a problem is to know where the problem lies? Kangxi thought that since Yinzuo was sighing in front of him all day because he was bored, it wouldn't be difficult to solve it. He just needed to find someone to play with him.
"Second brother, did I hear correctly? Why did the old man ask us to send the child to Changchun Garden?"
Yinreng raised his hand and touched his ear, then looked up at Yinzhi who was staring at him in disbelief.
"Big Boss, you heard it right. Khan Ama asked your Hongyu, my Hongxi, and the third child's Hongqing to go to Changchun Garden to play with Xiaoliu..."
Yinzhi understood every word Yinreng said, but the meaning of these words combined was truly magical to him. "The emperor's grandson plays with me"—such a niche word. Isn't it said that the next generation is close to each other? Why didn't this iron rule apply to his family?
Hongyu from Yinzhen's family and Hongqing from the third family were both born in the thirty-fifth year and are only five years old this year. Hongxi from Yinreng's family was born in the thirty-third year and is seven years old this year, but he also looks like a little radish. Yinzuo glanced at the three big radishes in front of him... no, they were three big nephews, then turned his head to look at his father and said in disbelief.
"Khan Ama, this is the person you said you would find to play with me. No, who among us can play with each other? Please let the children go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. If they cry in the middle of the night because of homesickness, I won't be able to comfort them."
Kangxi raised his hand and called his three eldest grandsons to come in front of him. He touched this one and looked at that one curiously for a while. Hearing what Yinzuo said, Liang Jiugong took the children aside to play, stood up and walked towards Yinzuo, stood in front of him, bent his fingers and tapped his forehead.
"Do you think they're too young? That's nothing we can do. Twelve, Thirteen, and Fourteen are busy with their studies in the Shangshufang and don't have time to play with you. Ninth and Tenth are working hard for you in the Ministry of Works, so naturally they don't have time to play with you either. Your eldest and second brothers are too busy every day to spare the time. Anyway, I've found them for you, and even if I have to send them back, I have to let them play with you for a few days first."
Yin Zuo's heart was filled with chills, but fortunately, the other party was also open-minded. It was just a game, wasn't it? He was the best at playing. He really didn't believe that he could handle the three devils, Lao Jiu, Lao Shi, and Lao Shisi, so he couldn't handle these three little rascals in front of him.
"Okay, since my eldest brother and his family have sent their children here, it would be a bit unreasonable not to let them stay for a few days. However, my son's Shufengxuan cannot be lived in by these old people, so the side hall of your Qingxi Book House will be ours for the next few days. Eunuch Liang, please help us clean up the side hall. I'll ask my Dexi to help later..."
As long as Kangxi didn't say no, Liang Jiugong always carried out Yinzuo's orders according to Kangxi's instructions. Now, seeing that Yinzuo had finished speaking and the Emperor didn't say anything, he immediately responded with a smile, turned around and went outside to find someone to take them to clean up the side hall.
"You are really not shy with me. You are very skilled in giving orders to Liang Jiugong. It's not impossible for you to stay in the side hall for a few days, but we must make it clear in advance that you are not allowed to move things around when you leave."
Yinzuo naturally agreed to Kangxi's words, but who could say whether he would move things around when the time came? Kangxi knew what this kid was planning from the look on his face. They say that no one knows a son better than his father. He had been Yinzuo's father for so many years, how could he not know that he had always been taking advantage of him? Rather than expecting him not to have any bad intentions, it would be better to send someone to watch over him when the time came.
When Hongxi and the others came, their respective fathers repeatedly emphasized to them the purpose of their visit. Four big words were firmly imprinted in their little heads: play with Uncle Six. However, it has been a while since the three of them came in, and Uncle Six seems to have been talking to the Emperor, and he doesn't seem to need them to play with him.
"Brother, haven't Sixth Uncle and Khanmafa finished their conversation yet? Ama said we came here to play with Sixth Uncle. If he doesn't come to play with us, should we take the initiative to go find him? But Khanmafa is there, and I'm a little scared..."
The eldest of the three was Hongxi from Yinreng's family. He saw Kangxi quite often and was quite favored by him, so although he was in awe of Kangxi's Mafa, he was not afraid. When he heard Hongyu say he was afraid, he reached out and touched his forehead like an elder brother.
"Hongyu, don't be afraid. Khanmafa is actually very easy to get along with. My father said that as long as I behave myself and play with Uncle Six, he will come to pick me up in a few days. Uncle Six is too busy to take care of us now, so we can just play by ourselves. When he is free, he will naturally come to play with us."
Although the flower hall of Qingxi Library was not small, the noise made by the three little guys, who thought they were talking in low voices, was indeed quite loud. Although Yinzuo and Kangxi seemed to be chatting and not paying much attention to Hongxi and the others, their ears were perked up the whole time. Hearing the three little guys' whispers, their smiles brightened a little.
"Khan Ama, please restrain your domineering aura. Look at your eldest grandchildren, they are too scared to come near us. Well, it's pitiful to see the three of them standing in a row. I'd better go and play with them for a while. Children, come to Sixth Uncle. Sixth Uncle is taking you to patrol the mountains."
