The reason why Yinzuo came here today was not to make fun of Fourteenth or to teach him a lesson. It was freezing cold outside and the Lotus Viewing Site was close to the lake. Yinzuo was afraid that Fourteenth would get sick from the cold if he stayed here for too long, so he came here in a hurry to rescue him. Now seeing how lively he was, Yinzuo suddenly felt that all his efforts were in vain.
"Fourteen, Sixth Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're a military commander after all. You're taller and stronger than me, so why are you so timid? Am I more terrifying than the enemies on the battlefield with swords and arrows? Look at you, you're so useless! Get out from behind the table right now."
In response to Yin Zuo's remarks, Fourteenth wanted to say: Sixth Brother, you are so modest. Those enemy bandits on the battlefield with swords and arrows are not as scary as you. If they dared to stand in front of me and shout like you, I would have chopped them down with my sword long ago. But would I dare to do that to you? Forget about chopping a sword. If I even said a few words in reply, I would have received a slap in the face today.
There was no underground heating in the Lotus Viewing House. Fourteen felt that the smell from the charcoal brazier was very strong, so he simply had people leave. Compared with Yinzuo's western house, this one was like an ice cave. Yinzuo took off his cloak and sat inside for a while, and he felt that his hands exposed outside were frozen cold.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Send someone to come in and pack up your things and move back to your previous place. I'll go back and tell Khan Ama later."
Although Fourteen was not afraid of the cold, he would definitely not want to stay here and freeze if he could live comfortably. Hearing this, he called out to the outside, and soon his personal attendant Jinxi came in with his men.
Fourteenth had been locked up here for only two days, so it was very easy to pack up. The people who had just arrived were very quick and efficient, and they packed up everything in no time. Fourteenth looked so lively that Yinzuo knew there was nothing wrong with his body without the imperial physician telling him. However, for safety reasons, Yinzuo still asked the imperial physician to take his pulse. Only after confirming that he was safe did he let Fourteenth take everyone back to rest.
After sending Fourteenth away, Yinzuo did not rush back. Instead, he asked Dexi to go to the desk and organize the Diamond Sutra that Fourteenth had copied before. Then he asked someone to take the things and turned around to go to his father's Yanbo Zhishuang Palace.
Yinzuo was always hanging around under Kangxi's nose, and Kangxi knew his every move very clearly. Today, he had just taken people to Guanlianso and Kangxi was informed right after that, so Kangxi was not surprised at all that Yinzuo came so early today.
"Oh, the sun is rising from the west today. Why did our Prince Zhao get up so early today? If I'm not mistaken, it should be around 9:00 PM now, right?"
Yinzuo didn't care at all about Kangxi's teasing. He walked a few steps to the south kang where Kangxi was sitting, kicked off his shoes, pulled up his socks, and stepped onto the kang.
"Humph, Father, you're asking even though you already know the answer. I don't believe you don't know why your son got up so early today. I've already told Fourteen to go back. If he really gets frozen in this cold weather, I don't know how heartbroken Mother will be."
Yinzuo had just come in from outside and was cold all over. After he got on the kang, he looked around and didn't find anything to warm his feet, so he simply stretched out his legs and put his feet on Kangxi's legs.
Kangxi shuddered all over at the feeling of Yinzuo's cold feet, but he didn't move in the end. He let Yinzuo keep his feet on his legs until Yinzuo's feet warmed up and he withdrew his feet. Then he stood up and moved slightly to the side.
"Liang Jiugong, don't just stand there. Hurry up and get a blanket for your young master. Otherwise, I'm afraid his claws will reach into my neck in a moment."
Upon hearing this, Yinzuo looked up at his father and did not refute. Instead, he raised his hand and called Wanquan, who was waiting on the side, and asked him to go outside the hall to find his family member Dexi to get the Diamond Sutra that Fourteen had copied.
"Here, Father, this is the Diamond Sutra you punished Fourteen to copy five times. I've already exempted him from the remaining five. The New Year is coming in two days, so let's not make things difficult for the child."
In Kangxi's view, these things were trivial matters. Since Yinzuo said so, he naturally would not ruin his son's plan. The father and son, one was thinking about the chessboard with a chess manual, while the other was traveling around the world with a travel journal. They were able to refrain from interfering with each other.
Yinzuo got up early today. After reading for a while, his eyes started to dart involuntarily. He has never been the kind of person who would make things difficult for himself. Since he was sleepy, he might as well go to sleep.
"Father, I'm very sleepy now. Close your eyes for a while. When it's time for dinner, don't forget to call me."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi glanced at Yinzuo, who was lying on the kang with his eyes closed, meeting Zhou Gong. He raised his finger and pointed at Yinzuo's head, indicating Liang Jiugong beside him to get him a pillow. Then he turned his gaze back to the chessboard in front of him.
Yinzuo slept very well and showed no sign of waking up at lunch time. Kangxi had been studying the chess book in his hand all morning and did not feel very hungry at the moment, so he simply sent someone to the imperial kitchen to inform them to keep the lunch warm and send someone to get it when Yinzuo woke up.
"Father, what time is it now? Have you had lunch? I think I'm a little hungry."
When Yinzuo woke up, it was almost four quarters past three in the afternoon. If he had had a proper lunch at this time, he probably wouldn't have to have dinner. Seeing that Yinzuo was hungry, Kangxi simply asked Liang Jiugong to go to the kitchen and pick out a few dishes that Yinzuo liked and bring them over. The father and son didn't move and had this late lunch on the kang table in front of them.
After eating and drinking, Yinzuo didn't stay in the kang anymore. He stood up, pulled Kangxi off the kang, put on his shoes, and started to drag his father around the west warm room to digest the food. Yinreng came in from outside and was puzzled when he saw the father and son grinding the mill around the room. No, what was going on today? Was there something wrong with the way he opened the door just now?
"Second brother, you're here. Find a place to sit down first. I'll accompany Amado for a walk. I just finished my meal and my stomach is bloated. I feel uncomfortable sitting on the kang..."
As the saying goes, listen to the meaning of the words. As soon as Yinreng heard Yinzuo's words, he knew who was walking around with whom, but the other party didn't say it out loud. He nodded with a smile, walked to a chair nearby and sat down, waiting for the father and son to finish their circle and come over.
