Regardless of whether Kangxi felt guilty or not, Yinzuo strolled in the garden with a bulging belly for a long time before he felt a little better. The team was about to set off tomorrow, and many urgent matters had to be dealt with today. Kangxi walked with Yinzuo for a while and then went back to the study to continue working on his pile of memorials. After strolling for a while, Yinzuo finally decided to change the way to digest his food.
"Oh, my goodness, can we not make such a fuss in the middle of the night? Look at how dark it is all around. If anything happens to you, His Majesty will chop me into pieces. How about this, I'll go find Eunuch Liang and ask him if he can clean up the bathing pool out back so you can swim a few laps there?"
It's no wonder that Dexi is so anxious. It's because his master is really impulsive. Have you ever seen a prince going to the lake to swim in the middle of the night? You have to know that his master is the apple of His Majesty's eye. Who can afford to take responsibility if something happens to him?
Compared to Dexi's nervousness and fear, Yinzuo was very confident in his swimming skills. He took off his coat and threw it into Dexi's arms, kicked off his shoes and socks, walked quickly to the edge of the pavilion, and then dived into the lake without paying attention to Dexi's obstruction.
The weather in early May was not cold but not warm either. The temperature dropped for a long time at night and the lake water was still a little cold. Fortunately, Yinzuo had just finished his meal and had just taken a long walk. Except for feeling a little cold when he first entered the water, he soon swam happily in the lake after adapting.
When Dexi saw Yinzuo dive into the lake, his heart instantly rose to his throat. When he saw Yinzuo coming out of the lake in the moonlight, he felt a little relieved. He had already jumped into the lake, and it was obviously too late to say anything now. At this point, Dexi could only call the palace servants waiting behind him and ask them to disperse to the lakeside and watch carefully. If anything went wrong, they would immediately go into the lake to rescue him.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the end. Yinzuo was quite good in terms of swimming skills and physical strength. He swam happily in the lake for nearly quarter of an hour. When he felt his stomach was no longer uncomfortable, he naturally swam towards the shore.
"You bastard, why are you messing around here by the lake instead of going back to the side hall to sleep so late at night? You're all wet, how can you look like a prince? Liang Jiugong, take this bastard to the back to wash up, and then bring him to the study. Since you're not sleepy or tired, then don't sleep tonight."
How could Dexi have the courage to conceal such a big thing as Yinzuo jumping into the lake to swim? When Kangxi hurried over after receiving the news, Yinzuo was having fun in the lake. Kangxi was afraid that if he made a rash sound, he would scare Yinzuo in the lake and cause an accident, so even though his heart was burning with anger, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
After Yinzuo got ashore, he was all wet. Even though Kangxi wanted to punish him, he couldn't bear to let him stand there dressed like that and get scolded. So after poking Yinzuo's forehead a few times, he turned around and told Liang Jiugong to take Yinzuo downstairs to take a bath and change clothes first.
As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second weakens, and the third is exhausted. By the time Yinzuo followed Liang Jiugong back to the study room with a straight face, Kangxi had almost digested the anger in his heart. It is said that this beloved son is different. Look, he knows that his father dislikes him, but he doesn't hide, and he even dares to pull a chair towards his father.
"Father, are you still angry? My son really knows he was wrong. I promise you I won't do it again next time. If I hadn't forced you to eat so much, would I have felt so full? If I hadn't felt so full, would I have thought about swimming in the lake to help digest the food? If I hadn't gone swimming in the lake, you wouldn't have been angry, right? So, in the final analysis, this is still your fault... Ouch, Father, my ears, they hurt. Am I really your biological son? Please be gentler."
It must be said that Yinzuo shifted the blame so smoothly that Kangxi's anger, which had already subsided, suddenly rose again.
"I know I'm wrong, and I won't do it again. You've been saying this for over twenty years now, and you think I still believe you? You still have the nerve to ask if you're my biological son? Are you unsure? If I weren't your father, you'd have lost your head long ago for the things you do every day. How dare you blame me, you little bastard? I think you haven't been beaten enough..."
Yinzuo was being twisted three times in a twist by Kangxi's ears. He was crying out in pain in his heart. As expected, people get stained by the company they keep. Look at his mouth, he copied it from Xiaojiu...
"Father is right. Isn't it said that father is the best in the world? I know that no matter what time it is, no one in this world will treat me better than you. So, father, can you please stop being angry with me? You still have a pile of memorials that you haven't approved yet? Please let go and I will approve them for you."
Isn't it said that Yinzuo understood Kangxi's thoughts the best? Look, didn't he appease his father with just a few words? However, Yinzuo's words just now were not entirely for the purpose of appeasing his father. Yinzuo knew very well in his heart that there was really no one in this world who could treat him better than Kangxi...
Yinzuo remembered that he had seen such a sentence on the Internet in his previous life: only those who are favored are qualified to be children. But when he asked himself, the reason why he could live so freely and independently in this life was really inseparable from Kangxi's preference and tolerance for him.
What were the consequences of occasional sentimentality? Well… Yinzuo slammed his head on the desk right in front of his father. The study at night was practically silent except for the occasional clatter of the two of them flipping through memorials. The thump of Yinzuo's head hitting the desk not only scared away his sleepiness but also startled Kangxi, who was sitting across from him, and Liang Jiugong, who was standing nearby.
"Yinzuo, how do you feel? Did you knock it hard? If you're sleepy, don't stay here. Liang Jiugong, take your young master down to rest. Remember to apply some medicine on his forehead."
Ever since Yinzuo hit his head on the table, Liang Jiugong had been craning his neck to look over here. Upon hearing Kangxi's order, he immediately walked quickly to Yinzuo and tried to help him up. Yinzuo rubbed the painful spot on his forehead, waved to Liang Jiugong, and stood up and walked towards the bed in the study.
"Don't worry, Father. I just bumped into something, it's nothing serious. But I'm really sleepy right now. I see you're planning to stay up all night to process all these memorials. So I won't go to the side hall. I'll just sleep here and keep you company."
