As for other aspects, everyone would definitely think that they could only listen to half of Yinzuo's words at most, after all, he was not a particularly reliable person. But when it came to eating, everyone felt that they could completely trust him. He didn't have any big hobbies, and eating was the most outstanding one.
"Yes, this method is good. It tastes more refreshing than an ice bowl. The goat milk is also well processed and has no smell at all. As expected, he is a playboy and a spendthrift since he was a child. When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, my sixth brother is second to none. No one dares to claim first place."
Yin'er had forgotten the pain after the wound healed, and only remembered eating but not beatings. He had just been beaten up by his sixth brother, and after a while he felt that he was capable again, completely forgetting that he was beaten up last time because of his bad mouth.
Fortunately, Yinzuo also knew that this guy was very mean and was too lazy to argue with him. Seeing that Yinzhen seemed to like this bowl of ice very much, he simply pushed the one in front of him to him.
"It's rare to see something that Fourth Brother likes. If you like it, eat more. From now on, you don't have to save the ice in your yard. If you don't have enough, just ask someone to bring it to me. Don't worry about me not having enough. Didn't Third Brother say I'm the best at scraping? If I don't have enough here, I'll go to Khan Ama to scrape more myself."
Looking at the extra bowl of shaved ice in front of him, compared to the other brothers, and listening to Yinzuo's nonsense, Yinzhen was touched but also a little upset. He was touched that this brother really still cared about him, and it was worth it for being so kind to him. But the upset thing was that this brother really didn't change his ways despite repeated warnings. Was it really something he could say casually about going to the Qing Palace to scratch ice? It seemed that he would have to be stricter with him in the future...
At the end of June, Galdan, with the support of Tsarist Russia, invaded Ujumchin and launched a rebellion. Clear news came from the court that the war was really coming. At the beginning of July, Kangxi ordered Prince Yu Fuquan as the General of Fuyuan, Prince Yinzhi as the deputy general to go out of Gubeikou, and Prince Gong Changning as the General of Anyuan to go out of Xifengkou to fight. At the same time, Kangxi also planned to personally take charge of the central army and lead the army in person.
With the expedition imminent, the people Kangxi was most worried about, apart from Yinreng, the Crown Prince who was serving as regent for the first time, were his sons. So the day before leaving, he made time to summon all his sons who were in the study to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, intending to have a parent-child activity before leaving.
"Hey, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, this Qianqing Palace doesn't eat people, don't be so nervous, look at the Ninth and Tenth Brothers, then look at my Fifth Brother, they're eating and drinking as usual, but look at you two, isn't it uncomfortable to sit on half the stool like this?"
If they were not in the Qianqing Palace and they did not know why Khan Ama was coming, Yinzhi and Yinzhen, who were named, would have wanted to stand up and slap Yinzuo in the face.
"Yinzuo, just shut up! Do you think everyone is you? You can treat this Qianqing Palace like your small courtyard in the South Third House? Didn't you see that the Seventh and Eighth Brothers were also nervous? The Ninth and Tenth Brothers don't seem nervous at the moment. They eat and drink as they should. That's because they are young and don't know much. As for your Fifth Brother, he is just as broad-minded as you, with a strong back."
"Your kindness is taken for granted. Fine, if you don't feel uncomfortable sitting there, then go ahead. But Khan Ama is probably still busy right now, and I don't know how long it will take for him to come. If your legs get numb from sitting here, and you behave improperly in front of Khan Ama when he comes, then..."
Although Yinzuo did not finish his words, Yinzhi and Yinzhen knew that the outcome would not be good. They certainly did not dare to get up and walk around the room like Yinzuo, so they moved their buttocks and sat back a little. They could not say how comfortable it was, but at least it ensured that they would not embarrass themselves in front of Emperor Kangxi because of numb legs when he came.
Yinyou and Yinsi naturally heard what Yinzuo had just said. They followed suit, and sure enough, after they felt comfortable sitting down, their expressions relaxed a little.
"That's right, come and have some fruit and snacks. Khan Ama is so busy right now, who knows when he'll think of us. Eat something first to fill your stomachs. After all, you're not as shameless as me. I don't think you'll be full when you eat with Khan Ama later."
In fact, Yinzuo also had a bad meal when he ate with Kangxi, but it was not because he was uncomfortable and restrained when dining with Kangxi like other princes, but Yinzuo felt that dining with Kangxi was too much trouble. It was okay in the summer, as he could just wait for Kangxi to go through the whole process and even if the food was cold, he could still eat it. But in the winter, it was a real pain. After the whole process, the food was cold, and even if you had all the delicacies in front of you, you would not be able to eat it. This was one of the reasons why Yinzuo hated the annual family banquet the most.
"Yinzuo, you're getting more and more daring. Some time ago, I just asked you to handle a few memorials, but you dared to avoid me and not come to the Palace of Purity. Today, you even dared to slander me. But fortunately, you are quite self-aware and know that you are shameless."
The cricket was caught behind the scenes by the person involved. Even if Yinzuo was usually thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment. He touched his nose with a wry smile, cleared his throat, and then smiled at Kangxi in a flattering manner.
"Khan Ama, you must have heard wrong. Even if I had the guts, I would never dare to speak ill of you. I just saw that my brothers were a little nervous, so I wanted to liven up the atmosphere and help them relax."
Kangxi didn't understand him yet, and there was nothing he dared not say. He didn't want to argue with him at the moment, so he raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head. With Yinzhen and Yinreng behind him, he turned around and walked towards the dining hall outside.
Everyone had already stood up when Kangxi came in. Now that they saw Kangxi leaving, they naturally would not stay here any longer and followed Kangxi out.
