"Sixth brother is right. Hongqing is indeed a bad boy who needs to be punished. Now that he is about to become my father's man, he still doesn't know how to speak or act responsibly. You have nothing to do anyway, so why don't you let Third Brother put him with you for a few days and help Third Brother discipline that brat."
Yinzuo's first reaction to Yinzhi's proposal was to shake his head and refuse. What a joke! He had already sent his own son out to be trained by others. How could he be so skilled as to take on such a job?
"Third brother, please don't joke with me. What do you mean I have nothing to do? I'm busy all day long. It's not an exaggeration to say I get up early and go to bed late. How can I have time to help you teach your children?"
Why do I feel so uncomfortable when the four words "get up early and go to bed late" come out of your mouth? Let's just say that you are in your thirties now, and except for getting up early when you were studying in the Shangshufang, when have you ever gotten up late? You slept before the moon set, and you haven't gotten up yet when the sun rose. How dare you say you are busy?
Facing the indescribable expressions of Yinzhi, Yinreng and Yinzhi, Yinzuo said that it didn't matter. My thick skin was enough to help me withstand your strange scrutiny. It should be said that Yinzhi and the others really had no way to deal with Yinzuo's dead pig-like appearance. After staring at him for a while, they took the initiative to change the subject.
"Xiao Liu, you've been living in the garden for half a month, right? How long do you plan to stay? Khan Ama has been busy since he came back. He's not young anymore after all. It won't work this way. We've tried to persuade him several times but to no avail. Why don't you go back and try to persuade him?"
Caring for his old father was one aspect, but the main thing was that they had been busy from dawn to dusk for nearly half a month, and Yinzhen and the others were almost exhausted. They tried to persuade him that it didn't matter if his father Khan didn't listen, but they didn't believe that his precious son wouldn't listen even if they told him to.
If Yinzhi and the others had given any other reasons, Yinzo would definitely have ignored them. But as soon as they mentioned Kangxi's health, Yinzo was easily taken advantage of. Just as Yinzhi and the others said, Kangxi was indeed not young anymore. Although he looked quite healthy now, he could not withstand such torture.
Because he was worried about his old father's health, Yinzuo did not delay at all. As soon as he sent Yinzhi and others away, he asked Dexi to pack up and hurried towards the Forbidden City.
Just as Yinzhi and the others had said, it was almost dark when Yinzuo arrived and Kangxi was still in the study, working hard on the pile of memorials on the desk. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Yinzuo standing at the study door. Kangxi was obviously stunned for a moment. After a few breaths, he stood up and walked around from behind the desk, pulling Yinzuo to sit down at the seat next to the desk.
"Didn't you move to your Enze Garden? Why are you here at this time? Did you encounter any difficulties, or did someone bully you? Your eldest brother, second brother, or third brother, it's okay, tell my father, I will deal with him for you."
Well, looking at his appearance, you can tell that although he is busy, he can still keep an eye on all directions and listen to all sides. I think his father has known about the fact that Yinzhen and others went to his place during the day.
"Look at what you said, Father. With you protecting my son and my brother, they wouldn't dare bully me even if they were brave enough. I heard that you've been working day and night since you came back, sleeping less than three hours a day. I was worried that you couldn't handle it, so I came back."
Since Yinzuo was back, he naturally would not allow Kangxi to do the same thing as before. Regardless of whether Kangxi agreed or not, he pulled him up from the chair and walked out of the study. When he saw Liang Jiugong standing at the door of the study, he did not forget to give him an instruction.
"Eunuch Liang, you can take that pile of memorials in the study to my fourth brother or my second brother later. You can't let it appear in the study again. Oh, by the way, has the dinner been delivered from the imperial kitchen? If not, send someone to rush. I haven't eaten yet and I'm hungry now."
Yinzuo's words always had a way with the Qianqing Palace. As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong immediately responded with a smile. You ask Liang Jiugong if he's not afraid of Kangxi getting angry and punishing him? Haha, don't you have any foresight? Didn't you see that Kangxi remained silent after Yinzuo finished speaking? What does this mean? Doesn't his silence mean he's tacitly accepted what he's said?
Liang Jiugong was quite active. Yinzuo had just helped Kangxi to the dining hall and sat down to chat for a while when the imperial kitchen delivered dinner. Even if the emperor was dining alone, the ceremony was still grand. Even though Kangxi had ordered everything to be kept simple, the table was still filled with food.
Seeing a mushroom chicken soup on the table, Yinzuo stood up and walked over to take a spoon to fill a bowl for his father and handed it to him. Then he turned around and filled a bowl for himself and walked back to sit next to Kangxi.
"Father, I don't know if you've ever heard of this saying: 'Drink soup before a meal, and you'll be healthy in old age.' That's nonsense, I'm telling you. Drinking soup before a meal really does have many benefits. It not only helps prevent food from irritating the digestive tract, but it also stimulates gastric acid secretion, aiding digestion. It also increases satiety and reduces the intake of high-calorie foods..."
Yinzuo and his son never had the rule of not talking while eating when they had meals in private. Yinzuo turned himself into a little science doctor and explained to his father in detail the benefits of drinking soup before eating. After Kangxi finished a bowl of chicken soup, he picked up his chopsticks and stood up to serve Kangxi the food himself.
It was rare for a son to be so considerate, and Kangxi was naturally happy to enjoy his son's filial piety. The father and son had a meal together with a loving father and a filial son. Compared with the joyful atmosphere in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Yinzhen was not in such a good mood when he received a pile of memorials near dark. It turned out that his annoying younger brother was only concerned about his Khan Father and didn't care about his brother's life or death at all. With such a large pile of memorials, he was destined to work late into the night again.
Although Yinzuo was supervising from the side, Kangxi was the emperor after all. In such a big country, there were countless big and small things happening every day. He omitted the unimportant ones and only picked up the major events that concerned the country. Every day, several piles of memorials were sent to the desk in the Qianqing Palace.
It is said that one should do his job well. Even though Kangxi has been lazy in recent years, he still has to deal with things that need to be dealt with. After all, he is old now. The weather has just turned cold and he has started coughing.
"Father, tell me honestly, are you fed up with your son? If so, I'll leave the palace right now, take my wife and children with me, and stay away from you. I promise not to bother you anymore..."
