Okay, so you're just arguing with me about bugs. But as I said, modern boys can't refuse a good car, and boys in the Qing Dynasty naturally couldn't refuse a BMW. After all, it was Xiaoliu who asked them to go. If his father really pursues the matter, then of course - Xiaoliu, don't worry, fly, and take the blame if anything goes wrong...
No matter what, Yinzuo used his father's horse to coax his eldest brother. As for whether his father would be angry if he invited his second brother and others to choose horses together, he was not worried at all. In his opinion, his Khan father had always been generous and would definitely not be angry for such a small matter.
How does the saying go? Love can make people grow flesh and blood like crazy. People love others in the same way that they are loved. Yinzuo has been spoiled by his father and his brothers over the years. He has long been accustomed to getting everything effortlessly, so he will never be stingy about sharing what he has with others.
Even though they were not in the capital this year, there were still many things to do as the year drew to a close. Yinzhen, Yinzhi and others all had their work to do, so naturally they did not have much time to chat with Yinzuo. After sitting for a while, they all stood up and said goodbye. After seeing Yinzhen, Yinzhi and others off, only the brothers Yinzuo and Yinreng were left in the room.
"Brother, we are the only two people here now. It's almost time for lunch. How about we go to Khan Ama's place for a meal?"
Since Yinzuo had said before that he would accompany Kangxi for dinner later, he naturally would not go back on his word. Yinreng was now free and had nothing to do, so it didn't matter where he went. The two brothers hit it off and immediately got up and went out to Kangxi.
When the two brothers arrived, Kangxi had just finished the official business at hand and was walking around the room with the support of Liang Jiugong to relax his stiff legs. He saw Yinzuo and Yinreng coming in from outside, pointing at the chairs and indicating that the two brothers should find a place to sit.
Yinzuo usually stayed at Kangxi's place when he had nothing to do. When she saw him beating his legs from time to time, she knew that he must have been disobedient again and his legs were numb from sitting for too long. She walked over and took him from Liang Jiugong, carefully helping his father continue strolling.
"Father, I'm not saying anything bad about you. We're old now, so we have to accept our age. Have you forgotten what Doctor Wang told you? Your legs can't sit for long. I know you're busy as the year draws to a close, but we don't lack time to get up and move around even when we're busy..."
Kangxi was not annoyed by Yinzuo's nagging. He listened to Yinzuo chattering happily. It was obvious that he enjoyed his son's concern for him. Yinreng sat beside them and watched the two interacting with a smile, and joined in from time to time. For a while, the atmosphere in the room was very peaceful and harmonious.
By the time Kangxi stretched his stiff legs, it was almost time for lunch. Lunch was placed in the flower hall, which was only a few steps away from the study. The father and his two sons had to wait on Liang Jiugong, Wanquan and others to wash their hands before they walked to the table in the flower hall outside and sat down.
When the emperor ate, even if he was alone, the meal was always a grand affair. Even though Kangxi had specifically ordered that everything be kept simple, the food sent from the imperial kitchen still filled up a large table.
In a word, Kangxi didn't dare to say anything else, but there was definitely enough food. Naturally, there was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping when the father and sons ate in private. Whenever Yinzuo ate something he liked, he would be eager to share it with Kangxi and Yinreng who were sitting next to him.
"Father, Second Brother, please try this! The pot-wrapped pork made by the imperial chef today is really good. It's just the right amount of sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside..."
With Yinzuo being such a talkative person, Kangxi and Yinreng did not feel lonely at all during their lunch. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, someone brought them some tea for rinsing their mouths. After rinsing their mouths and washing their hands, the three of them returned to the study.
Kangxi and Yinreng had no habit of taking naps. After returning to the study, they asked someone to bring a chessboard and put it on the kang table in the study. The two sat opposite each other and started playing chess.
Yinzuo would feel sleepy after eating, and he had no interest in playing chess. He went over to take a look, then took off his shoes, climbed onto the kang, found a seat next to Kangxi, and closed his eyes and stared at them.
Although there was a floor heating in the room, it was the coldest time of the year after all, and Kangxi was naturally worried about Yinzuo sleeping in that nest. He raised his hand and called Liang Jiugong over to the side, asking him to go outside and get a pillow and a blanket. He personally watched him cover Yinzuo with the blanket, and then his gaze returned to the chessboard.
There is no doubt about Yinzuo's sleeping quality. He slept for more than an hour before waking up. After waking up, he did not move. He glanced at the side with dazed eyes and saw Kangxi and Yinreng handling official business. His body softened and he curled up again.
Although Kangxi seemed to be concentrating on handling the memorials under his hands, he actually paid some attention to the situation on Yinzuo's side from time to time. Seeing Yinzuo get up and lie down again, his brows couldn't help but frown.
"Yinzuo, since you're awake, get up. Have you ever seen a good person sleep like you? If you sleep so much during the day, you'll have insomnia at night. Get up and move around, then come and help me sort out this pile of memorials."
Since Kangxi had spoken, Yinzuo had to give his father some face. He got up and walked around the room a few times, then stepped onto the kang, found a place to sit down, and took the pile of memorials that Kangxi had pointed to him before to help organize them.
In fact, these memorials had already been sorted into categories when they were sent from the capital. All Yinzuo needed to do was to sort them out again according to their importance. This was a piece of cake for Yinzuo, after all, he had been doing it since he was a child.
With the help of Yinreng and Yinzuo, it took just over an hour to finish the pile of memorials. After someone came to collect the memorials on the table, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Father, if you ask me, why don't we just give the throne to Fourth Brother in advance? After all, Fourth Brother is capable, and those who are capable should naturally work harder. When the time comes, you take me with you, and I'll take the money. We can find a beautiful place with mountains and rivers and build a big house. We can fish and raise birds when we have nothing to do. Life there will be much easier than it is now."
Kangxi obviously did not expect Yinzuo to say this, and was stunned when he heard it, but he had to admit that he was somewhat yearning for the kind of free and easy life that Yinzuo talked about.
"Okay, Father, I understand. I will consider it carefully..."
No, how can I think about this carefully? Is the gap between people so big? So you were targeting me before. Come on, let's talk it out. Why did you guard against me like a thief before?
