Did God hear Dexi's inner prayer? The answer is of course that he did, and God fulfilled his wish without any compromise. As expected, Yinzuo didn't mention the lychee incident again when he woke up the next morning. However, there is always someone who can cause trouble. Dexi had just put his mind at ease when someone else came to trouble him.
"Sixth brother, you are so disloyal. Why did you give lychees to Fourth brother and the others but not to me?"
This question confused Yinzuo. It didn't make sense. After he came back yesterday, he asked Dexi to send the lychees to his mother. He didn't believe that Dexi was so bold as to embezzle things from his mother.
"Dexi, didn't you hear what your Fourteenth Master said? Didn't he ask you to divide the lychees and send them to Mother yesterday?"
Dexi's heart was beating fast when he heard the word "litchi". After hearing what Yinzuo said, he recalled it carefully in his mind again, and made sure that he was not mistaken before replying.
"Master, yesterday I personally distributed all the things with my men. I remember clearly that after the things were distributed, the first one to be sent was to Consort De. I will ensure that there will be no mistakes."
Dexi had served Yinzuo for so many years, and there had almost never been any mistakes in the things he ordered. Yinzuo naturally believed him, but looking at the little fourteenth who was standing not far from him with a pout, he felt that there was no need for this little guy to lie, so he raised his hand and called him to his side.
"Dexi, have someone check right now to find out who was responsible for delivering the things to my mother yesterday. Once you find out, call that person over to ask them about it. But something went wrong and the things weren't delivered."
Although he knew that the probability of such a thing happening was extremely small, Yinzuo still decided to let Dexi go and check it out first. However, before Dexi turned around and took two steps, he was stopped by Xiao Shisi.
"Dexi, wait a minute, Sixth Brother, I meant that I didn't receive the lychees you sent me, not that my mother didn't receive them."
Dexi couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Fourteen's words. He had thought that there was something wrong on his side. Well, now he was innocent. The only problem left was his master's business.
"That's because you live with Mother. What's given to Mother is also for you. How can Mother not give you food?"
Yinzuo didn't take it seriously at first. He pulled the angry Fourteenth to sit next to him and rubbed his forehead with his hand. However, his nonchalant behavior completely irritated Fourteenth.
"Sixth brother, I'm talking about the portion that belongs to me. You gave each of my brothers a separate portion, and even Thirteenth brother had his own portion, but I'm the only one who doesn't have one..."
The little guy's voice was still angry at the beginning, but it became lower and lower as he spoke. In the end, his voice was almost inaudible, and he looked extremely lost.
After hearing this, Yinzuo understood what the little Fourteenth Brother cared about. What he cared about was perhaps not the plate of lychees, but the fact that all the other brothers received their own gifts, but he did not. He felt that they did not respect him as an independent individual, so he was sad and came to him to ask for an explanation.
"This time, it was indeed Sixth Brother who was inconsiderate. I thought you lived with Mother, so there was no need to send you a separate gift. I forgot to consider your feelings. Now Sixth Brother knows I was wrong, so I will make up for it by giving you the gift that belonged to Fourteenth Master. Dexi, please pack a separate portion of lychees for Fourteenth Master and bring it over."
Yinzuo guessed correctly. As expected, the little guy immediately smiled when he heard this. After Dexi came over with a box of lychees, the little guy immediately ordered the eunuch behind him to take the food box, stood up and said goodbye to his sixth brother.
"Sixth brother, I forgive you this time. I'm going to find Thirteenth brother now and show him that I have the same lunch box as him, but Sixth brother forgot it yesterday..."
Well, it turns out that showing off is the nature of human beings. Looking at Little Fourteen who is laughing happily and running fast now, there is no trace of the lost and angry look on his face when he came here just now.
"Dexi, don't you think this little guy is playing me?"
He didn't know whether the Fourteenth Master was playing his master Dexi. What he knew was that the lychees he had dug out with great difficulty yesterday were now completely gone.
Yinzuo couldn't help laughing when he saw Dexi's sad expression. He had an idea of how much he had brought back yesterday. He knew very well that after he had spent so much money yesterday, it was very difficult for Dexi to have only the things he ate yesterday and the things he gave to Fourteen today. In the next few days, he didn't mention the word lychees at all.
Fortunately, Yinzuo knew his own character, and Kangxi was also well aware of how generous he was to his son. After estimating that Yinzuo had spent all the things on his side, he sent some more to him. Now it was May, and there was no shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables, so this time not only lychees, cherries, mulberries, cantaloupes, plums... were sent, and baskets of them were spread out on a large area in the courtyard of Shuyizhai.
When Kangxi had someone deliver something to Enze Garden, he did not hide it. Naturally, as soon as the fruit delivery cart left Changchun Garden, everyone who should know would know about it. As soon as Yinzuo sent away the guards who came to deliver the things, his brothers all came as if they had smelled something.
"Goodness, Sixth Brother, looking at the scene in your courtyard, if I hadn't known I was in your Enze Garden, I would have thought I had entered a fruit shop."
Well, it sounds like he has a sour tooth. So let him eat less plums later, so that he won’t get sour teeth again.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, look, these are lychees! They're so precious! Didn't Khan Ama just give you a basket a few days ago? How come you sent so many more?"
Okay, I'm asking this knowingly. You might not know how I got that basket of lychees, but don't you know why they're gone? So, those I gave you a few days ago all ended up in the dog's stomach.
"Ahem, this cantaloupe is good. The Queen Mother likes to eat it. I'll take a few with me when I leave and send them to her later. It can be regarded as your filial piety to her."
Haha, if you hadn't coughed twice, I would have really believed it. What about offering filial piety to the Empress Dowager? I think I'm offering this melon to you as a filial piety. Does the Empress Dowager know that you're robbing brothers in her name?
"Sixth brother, your niece told me a few days ago that she wanted to eat mulberries, and I was worried about where to get them for her. It just so happens that you have some today, so I'll take some with me when I leave."
My goodness, I thought my fifth brother was shameless enough to rob me in the name of the Royal Mother, but I didn’t expect that my eldest brother was even more shameless and actually came to ask for food in the name of the child.
