Who is the scoundrel you are talking about? The scoundrel you are talking about is that bastard Yinzuo. His fourth brother really cares about him, but he has put his brother in trouble in the time it takes to have a meal.
"Father, I really didn't mean to deceive you. It was just that the medicine was too bitter. Besides, I wasn't lying to you. I was really hungry those days. Look, Fourth Brother has already taught me a lesson. Can you please stop being angry with me? I really know I was wrong this time. Father, can you please forgive me just this once?"
Everything that happened in the palace could not be hidden from Kangxi's eyes, and what happened in Changchun Garden was naturally no exception. Now that the truth had been revealed, Yinzuo thought it was better to apologize sooner rather than later. After all, there is a saying that those who confess will be treated leniently. It would be better for him to take the initiative to explain the whole thing than to wait for his father to receive the report and ask him to come over to ask for punishment.
Was Kangxi really angry after learning the truth? Actually, no. After all, he had suspected from the beginning that this so-called hunger strike was just a pretense by Yinzuo. But as the old saying goes, when you care too much, you become confused. Even if Kangxi was smart, when he saw Yinzuo lying on the bed with a pale face and calling out "Ama" pitifully, how could he distinguish the truth from the false? Alas... Kangxi sighed helplessly, raised his hand and poked Yinzuo's red and swollen forehead a few times. Seeing the red and swollen area getting bigger and bigger, he slowly withdrew his hand.
"Father, I already told you that my forehead was swollen from being hit by Fourth Brother. Why did you deliberately poke it? Eunuch Liang, please quickly find a mirror so I can take a good look. If a scar is left on my perfect face, it will be disfigured. Father, you are so cruel. Am I still your favorite child?"
Kangxi was about to give up, but when he heard Yinzuo's complaint, he reached out and poked his red and swollen forehead. He poked it several times until Yinzuo's eyes were filled with tears of pain. Kangxi stopped only then.
"Hmph, if you weren't my favorite son, for your crime of deceiving the emperor, having your butt split into eight pieces would be the least of your punishment. And isn't it shameful for a grown man like you to be so afraid of pain and suffering all day long? Liang Jiugong, quickly find him a mirror so he can look at himself. Oh, and get him some ointment to apply to him. Otherwise, if he really gets disfigured, he'll definitely come and hug me and cry again."
The fact that the medicine could be applied obviously meant that today's incident was completely over. Yinzuo was helped by Liang Jiugong to apply the medicine, then he stood up and walked to the mercury mirror brought by the palace servants. He carefully looked at the glorious medal on his forehead for a long time, then nodded with satisfaction. After a while, he suddenly uttered something in a hoarse voice to the mirror.
"Magic mirror, magic mirror, let me ask you, who is the most handsome man in Changchun Garden?"
Kangxi was drinking tea, and Yinzuo's brilliant move successfully turned his father into a fountain. Kangxi angrily grabbed the handkerchief handed to him by Liang Jiugong and wiped the tea stains on his face and body, then stood up and walked towards Yinzuo. He decided that he had to teach this brat a lesson today no matter what, otherwise he would not know how many eyes this Horse Prince had.
Although Yinzuo never looked back, he could see clearly what was happening on Kangxi's side through the huge mercury mirror in front of him. Seeing Kangxi walking towards him angrily, Yinzuo had only one thought in his mind at this moment - to run. However, he was only a few steps away from his father, and it was too late to run now. Seeing that Kangxi was about to walk in front of him, Yinzuo suddenly had an idea and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, my master, the most handsome, heroic, and dignified man in Changchun Garden is of course His Majesty the Emperor."
Kangxi obviously did not expect that Yinzuo would suddenly do this to him. He was stunned when he heard this, and his hand, which had been raised high, stopped in mid-air. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and then he slowly put his hand down.
"You're the most mischievous kid all day long. Where did you learn all this? Come on, stop standing there. I want to ask you, what were you doing in the imperial kitchen today?"
Look, isn't this asking even though you already know the answer? Don't you know why I went to the imperial kitchen? If I say I went there for a walk because I had nothing better to do, would you believe me?
"Look at what Father asked. What else could a son do in the imperial kitchen? I've been eating bland food for over half a month, and finally got through the restriction and went there to have a feast. But my eyes and stomach are too small, and I accidentally ordered too much. I had no choice but to call my eldest brother and second brother to help me eat. Father, you don't understand. In all his years, this is the first time I know that eating can be such a painful thing. Touch my son's stomach, it's still as big as a ball."
As I said, nothing that happened in Changchun Garden could be hidden from Kangxi's eyes. In this case, Yinzuo would naturally tell everything he knew. Upon hearing this, Kangxi raised his hand and knocked on Yinzuo's red and swollen forehead, saying with a bit of regret.
"You seem quite smart on weekdays, but why do you become stupid when it comes to eating? If you made too much food, why not just give it to the people below? It's not worth it for you to stuff yourself like this? Okay, don't sit still, get up and walk around with me outside, just as a way to digest the food."
To be honest, Yinzuo preferred to lie on the couch and take a nap rather than accompany Kangxi for a walk to help digest the food. However, he also knew that his say in the choice now was not final, so even though he was reluctant, he had to get up and follow his father out.
It is already late autumn now, and the father and son will naturally not choose the lakeside where the autumn wind is howling as their walking route. Since they are not going to the lakeside, the only option is the garden. The garden is good. Although the garden at this time of year does not have the blooming flowers of midsummer, there is no shortage of flowers. Yinzuo only hopes that the delicate flowers his father brought this time can be more competitive and come to the garden to compete for favor and rob someone like in the novel, so that he can go back to sleep with peace of mind.
But obviously the final result disappointed Yinzuo. They had been circling the flower gardens around Qingxi Book House for a long time. Not to mention an accidental encounter, even if someone saw them from afar, they would take a detour. There was nothing Yinzuo could do. He could only go to his father's side and leave if they asked him to. After all, our feet are for walking.
"The river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are the Big Dipper, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, a friend of life and death, a bowl of wine, we leave when we say we're going, you have it, I have it all, hey hey hey we have it all, in water and fire, I won't turn back, when I see injustice, I will shout, when it's time to take action, I will rush through the nine provinces, when it's time to take action, I will rush through the nine provinces..."
