It is not clear whether the man who insisted on sending mangoes was crazy or not, but Yinzuo, who had been reviewing memorials for several days in a row, seemed to be mentally unstable. After all, have you ever seen a good person who would risk his head against the huanghuali table for no reason?
"Oh, heaven, oh, earth, which immortal passing by could be so kind as to help this poor little kid like me..."
Seeing this young man, who was about to turn forty, about to crash himself to death on the large Huanghuali wood table, what could his brothers Yinzhi, Yinreng, Yinzhi, and Yinzhen do? They would help him. After all, this ancestor was the one who had the most precious treasure inside. If anything happened to him, they would all be punished. No one would be able to escape unharmed.
"Alright, if you're tired, get up and go back to your side hall to sleep. If you don't feel like sleeping, go for a stroll in the garden outside. Your head isn't made of stone; it can't withstand the knocking of your head like that. Wanquan, go and bring me the pile of memorials in front of your Sixth Master..."
As I said before, he is his own brother after all. Yinzhen and the others know very well what kind of person Yinzuo is. He is not the kind of person who can endure hardship, so they have to do the work of working like slaves.
It is no exaggeration to say that at least at this moment, Yinzhen's image in Yinzuo's heart surpassed that of his father Kangxi. When he heard that someone was willing to help him, Yinzuo did not hesitate for a second. He tidied up the memorials at hand, stood up, walked around to Yinzhen, and gave his fourth brother a big hug across the table.
"Fourth brother, our relationship is truly the best in the world. We still have to rely on you at critical moments. You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll be leaving first. I haven't been free during the day these past few days. I haven't seen the sun in a long time. I have to go and feel the warmth of the sun."
The weather in the capital for eleven months is not freezing cold, but it is definitely not warm either. However, even so, Yinzuo, who had been deprived of his freedom for a long time, still took people for a stroll in the garden for half an hour. After enjoying enough freedom and sunshine, he turned around and walked towards his father's bedroom.
When Yinzuo arrived, Kangxi had just finished taking his medicine and lay down. Yinzuo first called the imperial physician on duty to ask about Kangxi's condition today, then stood up and walked to the bed and stared at Kangxi for a while. Seeing that he looked well, he felt relieved.
"Father, please move inside and give me a place. I'm so sleepy and tired that I'm too lazy to move around. The couch outside is too hard. My back and waist are sore from sleeping on it these days..."
Yinzuo has always been open in front of Kangxi, and he has slept on Kangxi's dragon bed countless times since he was a child, so he had no psychological burden when making this request.
Not to mention Kangxi's side. He favored this son and how could he not know how hard he had worked these days. He handled official business with Yinzhen and others in the study during the day, and had to come to guard him at night. Look at him, the dark circles under his eyes were almost as thick as those of the iron-eating beasts he kept in the imperial garden.
Yinzuo had been used to a life of luxury over the years, and he couldn't handle the busy schedule. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
Although Kangxi was still sick, he had been a hands-off boss for these days and seemed to be in better spirits than Yinzuo. After Yinzuo fell into a sound sleep, Kangxi carefully got up from the beam, helped Yinzuo pull up the quilt, and called Liang Jiugong beside him to walk out of the dormitory.
Yinzuo slept for quite a long time. When he woke up, it was dark outside. He got up dazedly and glanced around in the dim light in the room. It took him a while to realize that this was not his bedroom.
"Ama~~"
If Kangxi's bedroom was missing something, there would definitely be someone to serve him. As soon as Yinzuo spoke, Wanquan immediately pushed the door open and came in with his men.
"Sixth Master, you're awake. Do you want to get up now? His Majesty is playing chess with the Crown Prince in the hall up front..."
Since he was awake, Yinzuo naturally didn't want to stay in bed any longer. After washing and changing his clothes with Wanquan's help, he got up and walked towards the flower hall in front.
What Yinzuo said before was absolutely correct. Kangxi's habit of playing chess with the prince had not changed at all over the years. Seeing Yinzuo coming over, he simply waved his hand and told him to find a place to sit, and his eyes returned to the chessboard.
Yinzuo himself didn't like playing chess, nor was he impatient to watch others play chess. Seeing that his father and brother ignored him, he pouted, pulled a chair and sat down next to Kangxi. He glanced at the chessboard and then started playing with the cup in front of him.
Without Yinzuo making trouble, the game between Kangxi and Yinzhen would naturally take a while to finish. Yinzuo waited and waited until his stomach growled, but he saw no sign of the two men finishing the game, so he was a little unhappy.
"Father, Fourth Brother, why don't we play chess tomorrow? It's almost time for dinner, don't you feel hungry? My stomach is growling right now, and if you don't go eat, I'm going to make a scene."
It should be said that there is always a culprit for every problem. Kangxi and Yinzhen were an emperor and a prince, and there was no one more precious than these two in the whole world. However, these two had no way to deal with Yinzuo.
"Hungry, hungry, hungry. You eat and sleep all day long. How can you be so hungry? You are an adult. If you are hungry, why don't you go eat by yourself? You have to drag me along. Do you want me to feed you?"
Kangxi's train of thought was interrupted in the middle of playing chess, so his tone was naturally not very good. If it were someone else, he would have been scared to kneel down and beg for mercy, but our Prince Zhao was no one else, and he was not afraid at all.
"Look at what you said, father. You are a typical example of a dog biting Lu Dongbin, ungrateful. What's wrong with me being hungry? It's a normal physiological reaction. What's the matter? Are you so overbearing that you don't allow people to be hungry? What about you, fourth brother? Are you going to eat this meal or not?"
A dog bites Lu Dongbin, unaware of a good heart? Comparing the emperor to a dog, it can only be said that Yinzuo is extremely courageous. At this point, it is obvious that this chess game cannot be played any further. Kangxi glanced at Yinzuo who was standing in front of him with a sullen look, stood up, raised his hand and gave him a loud bang on the head with his fingers.
"I think you deserve to be punished. You keep saying that Xiaojiu can't speak. How are you any better than him? You're just biting Lu Dongbin, ungrateful. If I'm a dog, then what are you?"
Yinzuo had never been afraid of Kangxi. He was not at all humble when Kangxi poked his forehead and asked him questions. He smiled and moved his head closer to Kangxi and said with a smile.
"Look at what Father said. Is there any need to ask? Of course I am your child..."
