If one word were used to describe Yinzuo's life, it would definitely be - stable. Yes, you read that right, stable. Every day was dull and comfortable, almost smooth and peaceful. Spring went and autumn came, cold and heat came and went, another year passed, and it was the 41st year of Kangxi's reign. If you asked Kangxi what the most important thing in the 41st year was, he would definitely tell you - Xiaoliu's marriage. That's right, in the 41st year of Kangxi's reign, our Prince Zhao was finally going to have a husband.
As a son that Kangxi valued most, the Ministry of Rites handled Yinzuo's wedding with great caution. Preparations began in the early 40th year of Kangxi's reign, and it was not until the early spring of the 41st year that all the procedures were finalized. Now everything is ready, except for the final step.
"Father, I don't want to move out. After I leave the palace, it will be difficult for me to see you again."
Kangxi looked helplessly at Yinzuo who was holding his arm and acting like a spoiled child, raised his hand to stroke his forehead, pulled his arm out of his arms with force, and said with a smile.
"You're just talking childish words. It's unreasonable for a young eagle to grow up and not leave the nest. Father will always be here. I'll give you a badge. You can come in anytime you want."
Yinzuo is not playing his father this time. He is about to move out of the place where he has lived for more than ten years. Even though he knows that a bigger and better palace is waiting for him outside, Yinzuo will inevitably feel a little reluctant. What's more, since he traveled through time, he has been with Kangxi almost every day. Although moving out of the palace does not mean that he will never see Kangxi again, it is very different, isn't it?
"Father, I feel I am still young. I don't want to leave you."
Good heavens, Yinzuo's reluctance to leave almost broke his father Kangxi's defense. Fortunately, he had been the emperor for so many years, and the word "stability" was a professional quality engraved in his DNA. He took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down his emotions, and then pretended to be indifferent.
"What do you mean by small? You're about to get married, and you're still small? Get up quickly and be a man. How can you be so sticky?"
The heartwarming scene of Kangxi and Yinzuo's deep fatherly love filled the hearts of the other princes, Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinqi, and others sitting nearby. "No, Khan, we're all still sitting here! Are you calling us over to discuss tomorrow's wedding? I think you're calling us here to witness your display of paternal love. Don't you even consider our feelings? If you continue to be so willful, we... forget it. We wouldn't dare rebel anyway."
Compared to the mixed feelings of Yinzhi and the others, Yinreng was quite stable. After all, his father's love was not lost, and other people were partial to his father. Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressed, Yinreng had to stand up and speak.
"Alright, Sixth Brother, didn't Khan Ama say that you can come to the palace to see him anytime you miss him? It's getting late now, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning to work. Why don't we go back and rest first?"
Yinzuo was not unfamiliar with the specific procedures of the prince's wedding. After all, he had so many older brothers. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. When he thought of the tedious and complicated procedures of the prince's wedding, Yinzuo felt that all the strength in his body had been drained.
"Father, my son doesn't want to move anymore. Can you take him in for one night?"
Kangxi was reluctant to part with his precious child. Naturally, he would not refuse Yinzuo's request. He called Liang Jiugong over and whispered a few words to him. After watching Liang Jiugong hurriedly leave, he turned around and looked at Yinzhen and others sitting nearby.
"It's getting late today, you should all go back and rest first, and go to the palace early tomorrow morning. Yinqi, you are more familiar with the wedding process, and Yinsi, you are usually the most meticulous. Tomorrow, one of you will stay at Yinzuo's house to help the Ministry of Rites with the process, and the other will stay with your sixth brother to remind him and make sure he doesn't make any mistakes."
Yinqi and Yinsi were called and hurriedly stood up and bowed to receive the order. Yinzhi and others also stood up and bowed to Kangxi to say goodbye. After the group went out in a hurry, only Kangxi and Yinzuo, father and son, were left in the huge flower hall.
"Alright, stop lying around like a boneless person. Get up, wash up, and go to the side hall to rest. I've already asked Liang Jiugong to notify the Ministry of Rites. They'll deliver the things directly to the Palace of Heavenly Purity tomorrow morning."
Yinzuo was not afraid at all of Kangxi's pretended serious look. He just changed his posture from leaning against Kangxi to sitting up straight.
"Khan Ama, starting tomorrow, our son will be moving out of the palace. It will be difficult for you to keep him around like this. Are you sure you want to send him away now?"
Kangxi was a traditional Chinese father at heart. Even though he was reluctant at this moment, he didn't say a single soft word and his face didn't look good. When he heard what Yinzuo said, he raised his hand and waved at Yinzuo.
"Oh, you're talking as if I really miss you. Hurry up and leave. I don't know how much more peaceful I will be without you bothering me in the future..."
Yinzuo tilted his head and looked at his father for a long time, trying to tell from his facial expression whether what he said was true or false, but the same thing applies, Kangxi has been in power for many years, and he has long been adept at not showing his emotions on his face. It would be strange if Yinzuo could see anything on his face.
"Alright, since Father doesn't want me hanging around, I'll leave. If you miss me in the future, have Eunuch Liang send someone to call me outside the palace. I don't have much to do anyway, so I have plenty of time... Father, if you don't keep me, I'll really be gone."
Kangxi looked as if he was too lazy to look at Yinzuo again. He raised his hand, picked up the book on the table beside him, held it in front of his eyes and pretended to read. Yinzuo glanced at his father's hand holding the book, his mouth twitched, he stood up and bowed to Kangxi, turned and walked towards the side hall, stopped at the door of the flower hall, turned and looked in the direction of his father.
"Well... Father, although I know this isn't a good idea, after thinking it over, I still think I should remind you that reading at night strains your eyes, and reading upside down strains them even more. If this book doesn't work, why don't we read it tomorrow?"
Kangxi was startled when he heard this. He looked up at Yinzuo at the door of the flower hall, then looked down at the book in his hand that had fallen over. He raised the book in his hand and pretended to throw it at Yinzuo.
"I've been liking reading books upside down lately, so what's wrong? Why would I bother reading in this brightly lit Qianqing Palace? My eyesight is fine."
Haha, you're so stubborn. What can I do if you say you're reluctant to let me go? You even like to read books backwards? Okay, since you're my dad, I'll let you go this time.
"Well, since reading books backwards is Khan Ama's hobby, then I won't worry about it. Otherwise, people would say I'm being stubborn. Now it seems that I've inherited the habit."
