Spoiled by Kangxi, the penetrating father, Yinzuo's life can be summed up in two words: comfortable. He would sleep until he woke up naturally every morning, and after washing up, he would go to his father's house for breakfast. If he wanted to go out and play, he would take people to wander around the huge summer resort. If he didn't want to go out, he would ask Liang Jiugong to go to Kangxi's study to find him two travel notes, history books, or memorials annotated by Kangxi to pass the time. If he was really bored, he didn't need to say anything, because his penetrating father would naturally help him invite Yinzhi and others to play with him.
"Wrong, wrong, second brother, I was dazzled and put the chess piece in the wrong place. Do you think I can put it back?"
Yinreng was obviously already accustomed to Yinzuo's cheating behavior of regretting his move. Upon hearing this, he raised his hand and picked up the chess piece he had put down with great patience, then looked at Yinzuo with a smile, indicating that he could do as he pleased.
Facing Yinreng who also spoiled him, Yinzuo was never polite. He raised his hand and picked up the black piece that had been placed in the wrong position on the chessboard, and looked at Yinreng opposite him with a smile. It was obvious that he was asking - Second brother, where do you think I should put this black piece?
It must be said that Yinreng is really kind-hearted. If it were the hot-tempered Yinzhi, Yinzuo would probably have been beaten to a pulp by him. Yinzuo put down the chess piece according to his second brother's instructions, and then raised his hand towards Yinreng.
"Second brother, it's your turn."
Compared to Yinzuo, who was a terrible chess player, Yinreng was extremely talented in Go. Even if he had to distract himself from time to time to guide Yinzuo, his train of thought was not confused at all. When he heard Yinzuo say it was his turn, he raised his hand, picked up a white piece in the chess box, and placed it on the chessboard.
"Ah~~Dead, dead, second brother, you're killing me. Look, with this chess piece you put down, a large number of my black pieces are dead. I don't care. Take the white piece away, I need to move..."
Although it is said that a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word, but facing a bastard like Yinzuo, even though Kangxi's heart was already bent to his armpits, he really couldn't help but raise his hand and give him a big pot sticker on the back of his head.
"Yinzuo, you've studied for so many years. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Don't regret a move, don't reverse it.' If you know you're not good at chess, then why not practice diligently in private? Why are you constantly regretting your moves like this..."
If it were someone else who was scolded like this by Kangxi, he would not only be scared out of his wits, but at least he would not dare to breathe. But look at Yinzuo. After hearing what Kangxi said, he was not afraid at all. He even grabbed his father's arm and complained.
"Father, what are you talking about? My second brother and I are both your sons. Why did you pass on this Go talent to him when you gave birth to him, but you forgot about it when it came to me? Can I be blamed for not being able to play Go? Ultimately, it's all your fault. If you hadn't given your son this Go talent that was as good as a dog's, would I need to be so indecisive now? It would be fine if you didn't reflect on yourself, but you actually blame your son for not working hard enough. This was destined from the moment I was born. What's the use of my efforts?"
Well~ what a good way of putting the blame on someone else. I have to say that Yinzuo's words made Kangxi feel so aggrieved. It seems that it is all my responsibility that you have become such a bad chess player today. Your Go talent has been bitten by a dog, right? Well, isn't it said that hard work can make up for lack of talent? I will confront you. I don't believe that I can't teach you how to play chess.
So did the exasperated father, Kangxi, teach his eldest son how to play chess? Just listen to the noise and you'll find out.
"Yinzuo, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I've told you countless times not to doze off, not to daydream, or to interrupt me while I'm teaching you, and you've ignored all of this? Get up, stand on the ground, and come find me when you're awake."
There is a saying that goes, "It is impossible not to go crazy if you teach your children like this." Kangxi was good at everything in his life, but he suffered a Waterloo when it came to teaching himself how to play chess. The old father, frustrated, looked at his son who was about to fall asleep with his eyes wide open. If he had not retained his sanity, he would have kicked the unfortunate thing away.
Yinzuo had always been a man of character. Kangxi was already furious, so Yinzuo naturally wouldn't add fuel to the fire and make things difficult for himself. It was just a matter of standing down, wasn't it? He didn't believe it was a big deal. Could his father really let him stand there forever?
It must be said that Yinzuo really overestimated himself. Let alone standing forever, it hadn't even been half an hour and he was already starting to feel unsteady. He looked up at the kang not far away and saw that his father was resting with his eyes closed and didn't pay any attention to what was happening on his side. Then he stretched out his hand and waved to Liang Jiugong who was standing by the kang.
Liang Jiugong had served Kangxi for so many years. Apart from anything else, he could definitely tell the difference between the big and small princes. No matter how big the world was or how many people had higher status than him, he only had to listen to Kangxi.
Yinzuo was panting and practicing martial arts for a long time, while Liang Jiugong seemed to be in a trance, and looked like he could not see or hear anything. Yinzuo was not a fool. It would be strange if he still didn't understand what others meant after making it so obvious.
As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Yinzuo now understands that his father is determined to punish him today. At this point, he can only save himself.
"Father, can you hear your son talking? If you can, can you please open your eyes and look at your son? Otherwise, I will ask you to forgive me this punishment and you can go back to sleep, Father~"
Not to mention that Kangxi wasn't asleep at all, even if he was really asleep, Yinzuo's voice was like a trumpet. But isn't there a saying that goes, "You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep." Yinzuo's throat was almost smoking, but Kangxi was like a protective shield, still closing his eyes and not moving.
"Really asleep? That's great, Wanquan, quickly go over there and bring your grandfather a chair, and also bring me the plate of fruit on the table. I was shouting too hard just now, and my throat is burning now. It's just right to eat some fruit to relax..."
Yinzuo said this deliberately for his father who was pretending to be asleep to hear, so the voice was not restrained at all. Kangxi's ears were fine, and the two were so close to each other, so Yinzuo's words naturally reached Kangxi's ears without missing a word. Well, now the old father could no longer pretend.
"Hey, I'm asking you to stand here as punishment. You're eating, drinking, and slacking off here. What's the point? I'm talking to you, and you still have the nerve to smile? Why don't you just get over here right now..."
