If you insist on asking Yinzuo to use one word to describe his days recuperating in Changchun Garden, he would definitely tell you four words - bored. If Yinzuo had previously disliked his group of overly noisy brothers on the return boat, the situation was now completely the opposite.
"Father, we've been in Changchun Garden for about a month now. How long are you going to keep me locked up? Look at me, I have food to eat, water to drink, and I can run and jump. How can I look like I'm in trouble? Father, let's make a deal. Just let me go for a walk. I promise I won't run around..."
For more than a month, Kangxi has tried every possible means to prevent Yinzuo from sneaking out and making trouble. First of all, except for Dexi, all the people serving Yinzuo were temporarily replaced, including Akshan and Hatu, who went out with him last time.
Secondly, a strict order was issued to prohibit Yinzhi and others from coming to Shufengxuan to visit Yinzuo. Of course, it was not a one-size-fits-all policy. If they wanted to visit their brothers, they could, but they had to do it under our noses. Of course, the last point was the cruelest one. Not only was Yinzuo's token that allowed him to enter and exit Changchun Garden at will temporarily confiscated, but the guards patrolling around were also ordered that if they saw Prince Zhao sneaking around the outskirts of Changchun Garden with the intention of escaping, they would directly detain him and send someone to Qingxi Book House to report. Once these three steps were taken, it could be said that the possibility of Yinzuo sneaking out was completely cut off from all aspects.
"Forget about going out for a stroll. If you're willing, I can ask Liang Jiugong to walk with you in the yard. Didn't you hear the imperial physician say before that although your wound looks healed on the surface, no one can tell what's going on inside. Yinzuo, you better be obedient now. Once your wound is healed, I won't stop you from going anywhere. I've never seen you like running around so much before. What's wrong with you lately?"
Listen, how can this thirty-seven-degree Celsius mouth utter such cold and heartless words? Let Liang Jiugong accompany me for a stroll in this garden. What? I don't have your trust now. The three chains tied to me earlier weren't enough, and now you have to assign me a jailer? I've never seen me so fond of running around before? We really have each other. I've never seen you restrain me like this before.
"Ama, do you think it's possible that the reason I didn't like going out so much before was because I had something I don't have now?"
Did you have something in the past that you don't have now? Although Yinzuo's question really surprised Kangxi, as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Combining the context of Yinzuo's words, Kangxi easily guessed what this kid wanted to express.
"You little bastard, are you blaming me for restricting your freedom?"
After all, Yinzuo had been with Kangxi for so many years, and he thought he had some experience in distinguishing whether his father was really angry or just pretending to be angry. Although Kangxi's question was very tricky and his tone sounded very dangerous, Yinzuo knew clearly that his father was deliberately trying to scare him.
"Father, what are you saying? Is my son such an ungrateful person? I naturally know that you restrained me from running around for my own good, but that can't stop me from getting bored. Look at this room full of servants. Is there anyone who can talk to me? Dexi can chat with me for a few words, but that's all. Although I was also trapped on the ship before, at least I still had Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, Shisan, and Shisi. They came to chat with me every day to relieve my boredom. What about now? Besides talking to you every day, how about this, you ask someone to bring my son over and I'll let him play with me?"
Bring Hongxu over to play with him? Yinzuo's idea was clearly rejected by Kangxi. It wasn't that Kangxi was preventing the father and son from meeting, but rather that Yinzuo's idea sounded unreliable to him. Why didn't Kangxi let Yinzuo run around? It was because he was worried that too much activity would affect his wound recovery. Hongxu was already four years old, and this was the age when he could be naughty. Yinzuo was also not one to stay still. Putting the father and son together, with the older one leading the younger one to run wild in the garden, why would Kangxi still restrict Yinzuo? Wouldn't it be better to just let him go wherever he wanted?
Isn't there a saying that if the child wins an argument between parents and children, it's a comedy, but if the parents win, it's a tragedy? The tug-of-war between Yinzuo and Kangxi clearly ended in a happy ending. How did I know that? Haha, didn't I see someone coming to Yinzuo's Shufengxuan Waterside Pavilion today?
"Hey, I finally have someone to chat with and relieve my boredom today. Second brother, fourth brother, please come in and sit down. It's so sunny outside, you must be scorched all the way here. Dexi, quickly go get the chilled fruit from the ice jar..."
The arrival of Yinreng and Yinzhen really kept Yinzuo busy. They helped move chairs and get fruits. Not only did they pour tea for their two brothers, they even personally served the tea to them. The guy's enthusiasm made Yinreng and Yinzhen have an illusion - maybe this person was possessed by another spirit?
"I used to always hear people say that a day without seeing you feels like three years have passed. I thought it was an exaggeration then. I never expected the ancients to be so sincere. Fourth brother, look at Xiaoliu like this. If you didn't know better, you'd think he hadn't seen us for decades. Come over here, Xiaoliu, and sit down. Second brother needs a good look. I'm afraid you've been possessed by some foul spirit. Come on, tell me, who the hell are you?"
At first, Yinzuo could still give his second brother some face, but when his face was almost pinched red by Yinreng, and this man didn't seem to want to restrain himself, Yinzuo could no longer tolerate it.
"Second brother, that's enough. No matter how thick my skin is, I can't stand you pinching me like this. Who are you? I don't see you covered in hair or holding a stick in your hand, so why do you think you are a monkey? If I say to you now that I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, I want to ask you if you are embarrassed. What's the matter? Are you craving for drama today and come to me to play the real and fake Monkey King with you? If so, what are you waiting for? Let's practice quickly..."
When it comes to making trouble, even if ten Monkey Kings like Yinreng were tied together, they might not be able to make more trouble than Yinzuo, a real monkey. Seeing that Yinzuo was about to get crazy, Yinzhen quickly reached out and pushed him back.
"What are you making such a fuss about? Your injuries haven't healed yet. Just sit there quietly. You're a monkey, making enough noise, and you want to drag my second brother into making trouble with you. What's the matter? Do you want to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"
