Yinzuo was indeed Kangxi's eldest son. Facing his father's majestic face, he showed no mercy and painted Kangxi's face into the image of an old man Ding with a wave of his hand.
With his face covered in ink, Kangxi looked at Yinzuo, who was grinning like a rat stealing oil, and raised his hand to knock him on the forehead. He turned around and sat back in his previous seat. As he said before, it was New Year's Day, so he just did it to make the child happy.
As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. After Yinzuo was tricked by himself once, his attitude at the card table became much more serious than before. The effect of his seriousness was naturally remarkable. Until the end of the game, Yinzuo and his father were always far ahead. In a word, they never lost.
The end of the card game meant that the family banquet was about to begin. Yinzuo called out to Dexi, who was waiting outside the door, and asked him to take people to remove the large and small furnishings in the room and rearrange them. While the place was being rearranged, he took Kangxi to the next room to wash the old man Ding's blood off his face.
When Yinzuo and others came out from next door after washing up, the hall had already been decorated. Unlike the previous layout of single table for single person in the palace, Yinzuo had a large round table placed in the middle of the hall. The meaning was very clear. The main theme of this year's family banquet was to be close to nature and have a happy family reunion.
At this time, the round table was already filled with steaming food. Seeing that everyone was standing and no one moved, Yinzuo could only sigh helplessly, stepped forward and helped Kangxi sit down in the main seat, then raised his hand and asked his brothers to sit down.
"Brother, brother two, it's already late, let's not be polite. Come, brother one, sit on Ama's left, brother two, sit on Ama's right, the rest of you can do whatever you want. As for me, I'll sit next to our fourteenth. I have to personally watch him eat that bowl of meatball soup."
Hey, listen to how mean these words are. Fourteenth had originally planned to ask someone to go to the kitchen and tell them to replace the dumplings they made, but now that Yinzuo is watching, he is sure to have this piece of soup meatballs to eat today.
Yinzuo always kept his word. The New Year's Eve family dinner he hosted left a deep impression on not only Kangxi but also his brothers, each of them would never forget it. Take Yin'er and Yin'e for example, in their thirty-plus years of life, it was the first time that they had sat so close to their father.
After the Spring Festival, the weather in Rehe showed no signs of warming up. After several heavy snowfalls, Yinzuo remembered the purpose of his visit and pestered Kangxi about it for several days, finally convincing his father to give in.
"Yinzuo, when we get back to the mountains, you must listen to your elder brother's words. Don't go to dangerous places. If you act alone, you must bring enough people with you. Yinzhi, you must keep this kid under my watch. Otherwise, if anything happens, I will hold you responsible."
Kangxi's worries were not unreasonable. When Yinzuo came, he promised everything, but once he got to the mountain, he realized that the emperor was far away and he completely let himself go.
Looking at Yinzuo swooping down from the hillside, Yinzhi now had only one thought in his mind - regret. He shouldn't have agreed to bring him here just for fun. The hillside was steep, and there were many trees and obstacles on the mountain. If he accidentally hurt his precious father, Khan, he would be in big trouble.
Fortunately, Yinzuo's skiing skills were pretty good, and he slid down steadily. Yinzhi started one step later than Yinzuo. When he arrived at the designated location, Yinzuo had already called on people to carry snowboards and go up the mountain again.
"Xiao Liu, have you forgotten what you promised Khan Ama before you came here? That slope is so steep. It's fine to try it once, but you're actually thinking of doing it a second time? If something goes wrong, how will I explain it to Khan Ama? I've had someone clear a snow trail near the tent. If you really want to go, we can go back and ski."
Although Yinzuo wanted to pursue some excitement, he had no intention of making things difficult for his elder brother. Although he was a little reluctant when he heard this, he still followed Yinzhi back to the camp. Compared with the wild path they had just slid on, the difficulty level of the snow path that Yinzhi had specially cleared was much lower. After playing for a few times, Yinzuo got bored.
"Brother, I often heard Khan Ama say that before our ancestors entered the Pass, when the mountains were closed to snow in winter, they would use snowboards to travel through the mountains and forests to hunt. Otherwise..."
Yinzhi had watched Yinzuo grow up, after all. Although he didn't know him as well as Kangxi, he knew what he was going to do the moment the boy raised his tail. It was true that their ancestors had hunted on snowboards when the mountains were closed due to heavy snow, but if you asked Yinzhi to take Yinzuo to do that, he wouldn't dare to do it even if he had a hundred guts.
"Stop. The mountains are covered in snow right now, and there are countless unknown dangers. Our ancestors risked their lives hunting because they had no other choice. Forget it. We won't be going back anytime soon. When the weather warms up and the snow melts, if you still want to go into the mountains, I'll definitely take you there."
In fact, Yinzhi felt like he was being scratched by a cat when he heard Yinzuo's proposal. After all, if it weren't for the fact that he had such a small burden like Yinzuo, he would have wanted to take everyone to the mountains and forests for some fun. But now, as soon as he thought of Kangxi's instructions before he came, the idea immediately gave up. As he said, if he hurt his Khan father's precious baby, he would definitely be in trouble.
With Yinzhen as an issue, the jailer was always watching him. Even if Yinzuo had a wild horse in his heart, there was no grassland for him to run wild. After staying in the mountains for a few days and exploring the area around the tent, Yinzuo lost interest in this skiing activity.
The winter in Rehe is undoubtedly much colder than that in the capital. Yinzuo originally thought that the coldest months of the year were the coldest season, but he did not expect that the weather after the New Year would be even colder than before. Yinzuo could not bear to wrap himself up like a ball and go out. Since it was so cold outside, after coming back from skiing, Yinzuo simply stayed in his small courtyard and confined himself to the house.
"Yinreng, when you leave later, please stop by the West Residence to see Yinzuo. That kid hasn't been to my place for a few days. I hope he doesn't get sick from playing outside again..."
What a convenient place to go! It was not because he was afraid that his behavior was too outrageous that Yinreng wanted to go forward and shake his father to remind him to wake up. Your precious baby lives in the west dormitory, and I live in the east dormitory.
