It is not known what Kangxi and Yinreng talked about afterwards. Anyway, after the father and son locked themselves in the study and talked for an entire afternoon, neither of them mentioned the matter of resigning from the throne of Crown Prince. Yinreng and Yinzuo did not make the trip to Changchun Garden after all. Firstly, the owner of Changchun Garden, Kangxi, did not agree. Secondly, the New Year was approaching, and it was indeed inappropriate to live in Changchun Garden at this time.
"Hmph, you're calling it a pretext to let me recuperate in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but I think you're clearly in need of a laborer. Look, my back wound hasn't healed yet, and yet you've assigned me this task. Father, I'm just curious. Isn't it said that emperors are wary of their sons? Why aren't you wary of me? Is it appropriate for you to show me such an important memorial? Also, shouldn't you have written the blessing yourself? You're charging me with all of this. If the person being blessed knew about this, they'd be so heartbroken..."
Although Yinzuo was chattering non-stop, his hands were not idle either. He spread out the paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and did it all in one go. Soon the table was filled with written "Fu" characters.
Kangxi pretended not to hear Yinzuo's complaints. After all, he could complain, but he had done all the work assigned to him without missing a single detail. As the saying goes, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice. He has done the job, so shouldn't he have the right to complain?
"Warning against you? What for? Afraid you'd pretend to obey but actually spill the medicine? Son, it's not that I underestimate you, but even if I wanted to give you this vast kingdom, would you dare to accept it?"
To be honest, this was the first time that Yinzuo didn't dare to retort after being looked down upon. There was no other way. Although his father's tone sounded nonchalant, there was no sign of joking in his eyes. Yinzuo even suspected that if he dared to nod at this time, the position of crown prince would fall on his head. In this situation, let alone retorting, he had to be careful even when speaking.
"Father, please don't joke with your son like that. You know, I've never been good at either literature or martial arts. My dream since childhood has been to be a playboy and a prodigal. How could I dare to take over your beautiful country? Why are you talking in your sleep in broad daylight? I think you were provoked by my second brother the other day. Come, let's go out and rest first."
Although Yinzuo's answer was completely within Kangxi's expectations, when he heard his words, Kangxi still looked at him with a feeling of disappointment. Seeing him coming over to support him, Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and stood up as he pulled, allowing him to pull him out of the study. It was not until the father and son walked to the couch in the flower hall and sat down that Kangxi could not help but reach out and poke Yinzuo hard on the forehead.
"Aren't you usually quite courageous? You always kick and kick me around, but why are you so cowardly today? In the past, if you heard someone say something bad about you, wouldn't you want to roll up your sleeves and argue with them immediately? Why are you degrading yourself today? You are neither good at literature nor martial arts. I didn't realize that you have a clear understanding of yourself. Why are you so afraid that I will put the position of crown prince on your head? I think you are just ungrateful for what you have. Go ask your brothers if they want this position."
Listening to what he said, his taunt value is almost full. It seems that he was told that the damage caused to his father by his second brother's ultimate move was indeed not light. Look at how irritated the old man was.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right. My son is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and is far inferior to my brothers. So you can give this position to anyone you want, but don't try to take it from me. Ouch, why do my chest and back hurt so much all of a sudden? Do you think I should call Doctor Wang to take a look? I don't think it's an internal injury..."
Looking at Yinzuo who was leaning on him like a boneless person, Kangxi had only one thought in his mind at this time: this kid was right, he was indeed stimulated by the second brother, otherwise why would he have thought just now... Let him look so inappropriate, forget it, he can't think about it, the more he thinks about it, the worse it gets.
With Kangxi's supervision, Yinzuo naturally had no chance to disobey and pour out the medicine. The wound on his back was not too serious. After nearly half a month of rest, it was almost healed. After Doctor Wang confirmed that he was fine, Yinzuo's first reaction was to go back to the side hall to pack up his things and escape from Kangxi, the jailer. Kangxi was so angry when he saw Yinzuo who had no reluctance to leave and was determined to get out.
"This bastard is getting more and more outrageous. Is there some monstrous beast in my Palace of Heavenly Purity? He doesn't want to stay here any longer. Liang Jiugong, why are you still standing here? Hurry up and take two people to help that bastard pack up his things. His back injury has just healed. What if he gets hurt again..."
Yinzhen really kept his word and said that he would pack the sheep and send them to his sixth brother. He never broke his promise. Just after the New Year, Yinzhen and Yinzhen had two sheep carried to Yinzuo.
"Sixth brother, I heard you were injured a few days ago. How is your recovery going? How could you be so careless? It's a good thing the injury wasn't serious. Otherwise, it would be awkward to celebrate the New Year with this injury..."
To be honest, if it weren't for these two sheep, Yinzuo would have wanted to throw out Yinlu and Yin?, the two nagging guys, right now. But as the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who has eaten the food, and one should be grateful to the one who has received the gift. Since he had just accepted the things from others, Yinzuo was in a difficult position to show his anger for a while.
"I say, you two, that's enough. Are you here to deliver something to me or to lecture me? If you want to stay here, shut up right now, or I'll kick you out."
As soon as Yinzuo spoke, both Yin'er and Yin? shut up obediently. After all, they had to be obedient. When others said they would drive people away, they might just be trying to scare them, but when his sixth brother said he would drive people away, he was absolutely serious. They all suspected that if they dared to say another word, his sixth brother would immediately have someone beat them out with a broom.
Now that the sheep have been delivered, the next step is naturally to eat them all while they are fresh. There are only three masters in Yinzuo's mansion. Although these two sheep are not big, it is a fantasy to expect the three of them to eat all the mutton. Even if Yin'er and Yin? are added, it is obviously an impossible task.
"Dexi, send someone to invite Prince Zhi, Prince Cheng, the Fourth Prince, and the others. Go personally to Second Brother's place and tell him that Yin and the others have delivered the lamb. I'm fulfilling my promise and inviting him to eat roasted whole lamb. Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, let's not stand here anymore. Big Brother and the others can't come over yet. Let's go sit inside and wait."
