The turmoil caused by conjunctivitis finally ended with Yinzuo's greenhouse being emptied. Not long after this farce, the Spring Festival of the 42nd year of the Kangxi Emperor arrived. What can we say about this Spring Festival? Anyway, Yinzuo had reaped a lot of rewards. Money was only one aspect. The most important thing was that our Zhaojun Prince was about to be promoted. From being someone else's son, he was about to become someone else's father. This was a qualitative leap. However, looking at the current situation, our future father seemed to have some concerns.
"Ama, tell me honestly, when my child is born in a few months, who will you love most, him or me?"
Kangxi was so worried that he just wanted to slap his head. No, you kid, you know you're going to be a father. Look at you, do you act like a father? Competing for favors with an unborn child, look how capable you are...
"Sit up straight for me. You're going to be my father, so why don't you look steady? Don't worry, with your shameless attitude, no matter who comes, they won't be able to defeat you. Oh, oh, oh, you're already an adult. Didn't I tell you to sit properly..."
Who was Kangxi? His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, His Highness. His words were like imperial decrees to everyone. Of course, it now seemed that this "anyone" did not include Yinzuo, a sticky rice dumpling. He didn't care what Kangxi said. He sat down next to his father, beckoned Liang Jiugong to bring him chopsticks, and then picked up whatever he liked, eating without any pressure. When he got bored sitting next to his father, he got up and walked around the hall with chopsticks, going to whoever he liked, and he was as free as the wind, but he just refused to return to his seat.
"Sixth brother, I heard you're going to be a father. Congratulations! Come, let me toast you."
Yinzuo is now 24 years old. It is indeed worth congratulating him that he becomes a father for the first time at such an old age. You know, even the ninth and tenth brothers who are a few years younger than him, their children are almost able to run away.
Yinzuo looked up at Baotai, who was looking at him with a wine glass in hand. After a moment's hesitation, he finally reached out and took the wine glass from him. First of all, he had to make it clear that he didn't want to drink it himself. You said that he had a son in his old age, which was a happy thing. His younger brother had come to toast him, so you said that he should drink this wine...
Whether it should be said or not, Yinzuo himself was convinced by his own set of twisted theories. But isn't there a saying that goes, "If it is destined to happen, it will happen; if it is not, don't force it." In Yinzuo's life, he really had everything, but maybe he just had no fate with wine. The wine glass was even close to his lips, but before he could drink it, he heard his father calling him from the seat above him.
"Yinzuo, be obedient. Give the wine glass to your brother and come to Father..."
Still obedient? Khan Ama, do you think you're coaxing a child? Yinzuo clearly didn't want to be obedient. Instead of putting down the wine glass, he raised his hand to pour the wine into his mouth. Fortunately, Baotai was close enough to him and quickly caught his hand.
"Sixth brother, just think of this as your younger brother begging you. The Emperor's intention just now was very clear that he doesn't want you to drink. If you drink this wine in front of him, you will be fine, but your younger brother will be in trouble..."
Although Baotai's words sounded so pitiful, the smile on his face did not diminish at all. He seemed to be holding Yinzuo's arm without any strength, but no matter how hard Yinzuo struggled, he could not get away. After several attempts, Yinzuo accepted his fate.
"Okay, since you've already begged me, then Sixth Brother will give you a favor. Come on, hold the wine glass and let go of my hand."
Baotai naturally let go of the wine glass after getting it. Yinzuo rubbed his wrist that was grabbed and walked towards his father dejectedly. When he was almost there, he saw Yinreng sitting alone slightly below Kangxi. He stopped, turned around and walked towards Yinreng.
"Second brother, is your wine delicious?"
This family banquet at the Palace of Heavenly Purity is almost the same every year, and it can be said that there is nothing new to say. Yinreng was actually quite bored after sitting there all night. He was quite happy to see Yinzuo coming towards him, but when Yinzuo walked in and heard the questions asked by the ancestor, the smile on Yinreng's face disappeared in an instant. But after all, he had been the prince for so many years, and even though he was a little panicked at this moment, his face did not show it at all, and his hands were steady. Yinreng first took the wine pot on the table and handed it to the servant next to him, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in it.
"It's not tasty, it's not tasty. Didn't you see that Second Brother was sitting here in a daze just now? If this wine tasted good, why wouldn't Second Brother drink it? Come, Xiaoliu, sit here. The meat is grilled well this year. Second Brother will give you a piece to try..."
Yinzuo first watched his second brother make his smile disappear in one second, and then he was coaxed by him like a child. At this time, there was only one sentence in his mind - Wuyu's mother opened the door for Wuyu, Wuyu came home.
"Forget it, you should just eat your second brother's barbecue. You know clearly that your younger brother wants to drink wine..."
Nonsense, what you asked just now was so obvious. If I didn't know that, wouldn't I be stupid? Of course, Yinreng is not stupid. Seeing that Yinzuo changes after drinking, he has to dare to give him the wine. Yinreng is afraid that as soon as he hands over the wine, this guy will get drunk and run over to pull his Khan Ama to become sworn brothers. Wouldn't he be at a great loss then? He is not afraid of his brother becoming his uncle, but he is afraid that his Khan Ama will ask where the wine came from.
"Okay, then Second Brother, you can keep the barbecue for yourself. Sixth Brother, why don't you go hang out with Khan Ama and see if you can have some of his fine wine..."
Haha, this second brother is really annoying. It would be fine if he didn't give him any wine, but he actually encouraged him. His father is very wary of him now. If he could have gotten some wine in front, would he have come to wander around the place first?
"Second brother, what I said before is indeed true. You are the one with black sesame filling. Khan Ama is watching me closely now. In order to prevent me from drinking, the wine pot on his table is filled with boiled water. Well, since I can't get any wine from you, I'll go look around downstairs."
Yinzuo wanted to turn around but Kangxi didn't stop him. His meaning just now was so obvious. He really didn't believe that anyone among them would dare to let Yinzuo drink. The fact was just as Kangxi expected. His brothers and sisters were keeping a close watch on him. He walked around but didn't even smell any alcohol, let alone drink.
"Khan Ama, how can you be like this? Although my son's alcohol tolerance is not very good, he is not easily drunk. So, can you let him have a drink? Today is New Year's Day, and I can't not drink at all."
