Although Yinzuo's words always worked well with Wanquan and other people who served Kangxi, what he wanted was wine. Even if Wanquan had ten thousand courages, he would not dare to give this thing to Yinzuo.
"Oh, my little ancestor, it's not that I don't want to get you some wine, but the Emperor has long said that anyone who dares to let you touch this will be severely punished. Look, the Emperor is still sitting over there."
Wan Quan's words were very clear. It was impossible for me to get you some wine, but I also told you that the Emperor was sitting there. If you wanted some wine, you two, father and son, could go and negotiate for it.
Yinzuo has never been afraid of Kangxi. Even if it is something that his father has expressly forbidden, he can still ask for it without any pressure and with confidence. When he heard Wanquan's words, he stood up and walked towards Kangxi without hesitation.
"Father, it's such a beautiful day today, but it's a pity not to have some good wine to accompany us. Thanks to my son, my eldest brother and his friends haven't touched alcohol in my presence these years. How about having someone serve them two pots of wine today? I promise you, I won't touch it..."
Although Kangxi was skeptical about what Yinzuo said, he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what he said. Yinzhi and others had suffered a lot over the years.
All we can say is that the time when Yinzuo almost got drunk to death in a drinking contest with Yinzhi scared Kangxi. He couldn't control Yinzuo, so he had to take a drastic measure and not let alcohol appear in front of this kid. This would solve the problem to the greatest extent.
Although Kangxi didn't want Yinzuo to drink, he also didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. After a little thought, he came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
"Liang Jiugong, go and move a chair over. It's easy to get your brother and the others some wine. You don't have to go back and sit down later. Just stay next to me. I'll be watching over you, and they'll naturally be able to drink."
Well, Yinzuo understood it. It means that I should be sacrificed to fulfill everyone else’s wish. That’s not impossible. After all, why not just sit there and eat the meal?
Kangxi arranged Yinzuo's position between him and Defei, with his father sitting on one side and his mother sitting on the other. You have to say, this was a completely new experience that he had never had before.
In the past, even when Kangxi stayed in Yonghe Palace for meals, Yinzuo and Defei would usually sit on either side of Kangxi. But today, this daddy's boy is expected to become a mama's boy.
How does the saying go, ideals are full, but reality is skinny. Yinzuo’s idea was good, but his mother did not cooperate. Compared with Kangxi’s surging fatherly love, Defei’s motherly love was obviously not that magnificent.
"Mother, I think the beef tripe you have over there looks really good. Could you help your son pick some and put it in the pot to cook?"
Good fellow, you're ordering me around, aren't you? Concubine De turned her head to look at Yinzuo, who was already looking up at the food, and hit him on the forehead with her finger, then said unhappily.
"Hey, you little brat, let me ask you, how old are you? What are your hands for? That thing is right there, why don't you just pick it up yourself if you want to eat it?"
This was clearly an act of overstepping the bounds, and Yinzuo had done that to Kangxi quite often. His father had always spoiled him and always let him do as he pleased on such harmless matters. Prince Zhao, who had always been successful, obviously had not expected that this would not work with his mother.
"Just pick it up for yourself. Humph~ As expected, in mother's heart, I can't compare to your youngest son. I clearly saw mother helping Fourteenth boy pick up food before. It's true that when you have the younger one, you forget the older one. It doesn't matter. Even if mother feels sorry for Fourteenth boy, my son still has Fourth Brother. It's very warm for the two of us to hug each other..."
Look, this is acting, isn't it? Although I know that Yinzuo's aggrieved look is acting, the old father can't help but feel distressed. Seeing Yinzuo's lost expression, he quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up some bean curd sheets and put them into the pot.
"Okay, we're eating right now, why are you still talking about kids? You just want to eat beef tripe, right? If your mother won't help you, then your father will. Liang Jiugong, go to the back and ask if there's any low-proof fruit wine. If there is, have someone send a pot over to your Sixth Master."
Well, we have to say that Kangxi really went all out to make his son happy. Yinzuo had originally just wanted to pretend to amuse his mother, but he had never expected that there would be such an unexpected surprise. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then happily hugged Kangxi's arm.
"Father, we are indeed the best in the world. You really understand your son. Come on, Father, what do you want to eat? Your son will help you pick it up..."
Although this is indeed her own son, but looking at Yinzuo's smug and provocative eyes, if this happened in public, Concubine De would definitely give him a beating with a feather duster. So, it's not a big deal to have a father who loves him...
Facts have proved that it is indeed great to have a father who loves you. Yinzuo was treated well for every meal and almost did not have to do anything himself. Not only did Liang Jiugong help him to serve the dishes, but even Kangxi would occasionally pick up a few chopsticks of his favorite food and put it on his plate. Yinzuo only had to be responsible for one thing, and that was - eating.
After drinking a pot of mild fruit wine, the Sixth Prince, who was not very good at drinking, naturally got drunk as expected. Fortunately, he was not very drunk this time. Except for walking a little unsteadily, he looked normal otherwise.
Although the area around Merlin was brightly lit by candlelight, it was winter after all, and even sitting in the tent was not warmer than indoors.
After eating and drinking, Kangxi and others did not stay here for long. They drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, and then went back to rest.
Yinzuo was quite obedient when he was dragged out of the tent by Yinzhi like a chicken, but he became alert as soon as he was blown by the wind outside the tent.
"Brother, please let me go. I'm fine. I just need you to hold me there. If you have the time, why don't you go ahead and help me straighten the road? I don't know what's wrong with this road today. Why do I always feel a little unsteady when I walk on it?"
Well, Yinzhen has opened his eyes today. Let's say that the saying "a dead duck talking stubbornly" is tailor-made for you. I have to say that you are really confident. You actually believe that there is something wrong with the ground and you don't even suspect that you are drunk.
"Straighten the road! I, your big brother, don't have the ability to do that. Let me tell you, I've been drinking today. If you don't obey and struggle, I might not be able to hold you steady and you'll fall to the ground..."
