For Yinzuo, the first day of the Lunar New Year is definitely the most important day of the year. Early in the morning before dawn, our Prince Zhao gets up, dresses himself up like a festive purse, and then takes Dexi to attack his father's Qianqing Palace.
"Hey, why are you here so early today? Have you had breakfast? This morning has been tough. If you haven't, sit down and eat something."
Yinzuo went to bed after midnight yesterday and got up very early today. The only reason he wasn't yawning all the time was thanks to the basin of cold water he drank before.
Although I didn't have much of an appetite, but thinking about what was going to happen that morning, I thought for a while and sat down and took a piece of bread to start eating.
Even though Yinzuo's mind is still a little dazed, he is very good at tricking his father. As soon as the scriptures were taken out, the guy moved his old father so much that he smiled with wrinkles all over his face. The reward was immediately doubled.
"Father, you really do love me the most. Yesterday, I put on a show for a long time at your house and finally managed to trick you into giving me two purses. Today, I haven't done anything yet, and look, not only did I get the purses, I also got so many other things..."
Yinzuo always let loose in front of Kangxi, and his mouth was even more uncontrolled, saying whatever came to his mind. Let's say this sweet talk and deceptive red envelope is something to be proud of? Is it really okay to just say it like this?
Regardless of whether it was a good thing to show off like this, Kangxi was quite satisfied with his son's honesty in front of him. After listening to Yinzuo's show-off with a smile, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and took Yinzuo to the flower hall in the front hall.
When Yinzuo and his son arrived at the flower hall of the study, Yinzhi, Yinreng and other princes were already waiting there. When they saw Kangxi pulling Yinzuo over, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
After the chaos, the huge flower hall finally became a little quieter. Kangxi sat at the head seat and watched Yinzuo showing off the two huge purses he had just obtained to his brothers one by one. Then he stood up and walked outside with his sons.
The fixed procedure on the first day of the new year is to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. When all this is done, the sky outside is already bright. If you think that the busyness is over, you are wrong. The busyness in the morning is just an appetizer.
At least for Yinzuo, the New Year's greetings in Shoukang Palace were the highlight of the day. Like in previous years, Yinzuo had a smile on his face the moment he arrived at Shoukang Palace. He and Yinqi sat on the left and right of the empress dowager and cooperated with each other to make the old lady very happy.
The old lady was not a person who was short of money. Once she was happy, the reward would naturally be doubled. Yinqi and Yinzuo, the two grandsons that the old lady was most proud of, naturally made a fortune.
"Grandfather, why are you so partial? Why did my father get two big purses for copying the same scriptures, while I only get one?"
Yinzuo was showing off, but when he heard Hongxu's words, he immediately became unhappy. How could this be considered biased? Isn't it because of his extraordinary personal charm that everyone loves him?
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten what Ama told you yesterday at Yonghe Palace? The old ancestor and I have known each other for over thirty years. If she doesn't favor me, how could she favor you, someone she's only known for over a decade?"
As soon as Yinzuo said this, Hongxu was speechless. He raised his hands to his eyes, made a face at his father, bowed to the empress dowager, turned around and pulled Hongming beside him to run towards Concubine De.
Hongxu was indeed Yinzuo's son. After so many years of being influenced by his family, he had learned Yinzuo's ways perfectly. He smiled and coaxed his group of maids, big and small, into laughing so much that soon the tray held by the eunuch behind him could no longer hold any more.
Looking at Hongxu running around the room like a butterfly, Yin'er felt as if he saw Yinzuo from more than ten years ago. He shook his head vigorously to get rid of this terrible thought, then looked up at Yin? and others who were sitting nearby.
"Alas, no wonder they say like-minded people give birth to dragons, like-minded people give birth to phoenixes, and like-minded people, like-minded people. Look at this kid Hongxu. Doesn't he look like Sixth Brother when he was little? Look at that smile on his face. Isn't it exactly like Sixth Brother's?"
Although what Yin'er said was the truth, Yinzuo didn't want to hear it now.
"Yin'er, didn't I tell you before that if you can't speak, just shut up and act like a mute? Don't force me to get up and spank you when I'm so happy now."
Yinzhen just wanted to talk nonsense, he didn't really want to challenge his sixth brother's authority. Upon hearing this, he quickly put his hand to his mouth and gestured to indicate that he would keep quiet from now on.
Yinzuo had watched Yin'er grow up since he was a child, and he knew exactly what kind of person he was. Seeing that Yin'er was honest, he naturally would not bother with him. The brothers gathered there and talked for a while. It was not until Kangxi stood up that they walked over to bow to the empress dowager and take their leave, and followed Kangxi to the front to attend the banquet.
The Chinese New Year was never an easy time no matter what era it was. The banquet started at noon and lasted until the end of the afternoon. After Kangxi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Yinzuo, who had been holding on with just one breath, could no longer hold on.
"I'm so tired, Father. I'm so tired and sleepy now. I feel like my bones are about to fall apart. I'm going to go back and get some sleep. You've been busy since before dawn today, so why don't you go get some sleep too."
Yinzuo usually stayed in the side hall when he came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The side hall was only a few steps away from the front hall. Even with his eyes half-closed, Yinzuo could still find his way there. He greeted Kangxi and when he saw Kangxi nod, Yinzuo called Wanquan who was following him and asked him to help him go downstairs to rest.
Yinzuo's sleep quality was excellent. He slept past dinner and slept until noon the next day. During the New Year period, there were endless banquets in the palace. Yinzuo was usually very impatient to participate in these, so he simply asked Dexi to pack up his things, said goodbye to his father, and moved back to his own palace.
As the saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but it will get cold when the snow melts. The weather in the first month of the year was already cold, and after several consecutive snowfalls of moderate to heavy snow, not only did the roads become difficult to walk on, but the weather also became even colder.
Yinzuo has been living a life of luxury over the years and is afraid of both cold and heat. When it is cold and the roads are slippery outside, he is even more reluctant to go out. He spends all day at home with a short fishing rod, playing with the fish in his house, or teasing his son Hongxu in various ways. The little guy finally couldn't stand it anymore, and before he turned 15, he had someone pack up his things and ran to his fourth uncle's house.
"Ah, why can't Hongxu be teased? Now he's gone. What should I do? Dexi, how about we go to the palace and stay there for a few days?"
