Yinreng's slap was merciless. Not only did it attract Kangxi's attention, but it also opened the eyes of Yinzuo, who was not yet asleep.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you hitting yourself? Look at the slap you got, your forehead is all red. Father, please get someone to get some ointment. If you go out with a red mark like this, I'm afraid rumors will be flying all over Changchun Garden before evening."
When Yinreng slapped himself, he was so regretful that he didn't hold back at all. By the time the slap landed on his head and he felt the pain, it was obviously too late. So when Yinzuo asked Kangxi to send someone to get ointment, he didn't stop him. After all, what his little six said was right. If he kept staring at the slap print, he was afraid that as soon as he walked out of the Qingxi Book House, the rumor would spread, and the emperor and the prince would fall out... It's exciting to think about it.
After Wanquan hurriedly took out the ointment and applied it to Yinreng, it was not long before lunch. Yinzuo simply gave up sleeping, got up from the bed, took Kangxi and Yinreng with him, and walked towards the dining hall.
"Yinzuo, you just ate so many cakes, are you sure it's okay to eat something else now? How about this, you go to the side hall and take a nap first, and when you wake up, you can ask the imperial kitchen to prepare whatever you want to eat."
Yinreng obviously thought the same, and nodded in agreement when he heard Kangxi's words, and also gave a few words of advice. Faced with the concern of the two, Yinzuo refused without hesitation. In a word, he was saving his stomach just now, and now he wanted to be a tool for eating without any feelings.
After lunch, Kangxi and Yinreng naturally returned to continue their battle with the memorials piled high on the table. As for Yinzuo, he certainly stayed with them, but in a somewhat unusual way: he chose to lie on the couch, hugging a blanket, and close his eyes, accompanying them in their struggle.
It is said that autumn has always been a sad and lonely season, but Yinzuo likes autumn very much. Firstly, the temperature in autumn is just right and it is most comfortable. Secondly, the word "autumn" represents harvest. If you insist on asking him what is wrong with autumn, he will definitely tell you that the only drawback of autumn is that it is too short.
As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill. After several autumn rains, not only did all the leaves on the trees outside fall off, but the weather also gradually became cooler. Yinzuo has never been a person who would let himself down. As soon as the weather got cold, he turned on the floor heating in his Shufengxuan and waterside pavilion.
"It's still more comfortable to stay here, Sixth Brother. It's been raining non-stop outside these past few days, making everything wet. Not only that, but the wind is also whistling right into the cracks of my bones. Look inside your waterside pavilion. The temperature isn't the right temperature, the key is dryness. Sixth Brother, can you let me move in with you for a few days? My room feels so sticky everywhere, it keeps me awake at night."
Yin'er had been very busy since accepting the assignment from Yinzuo. It wasn't until Zheye returned that he finally found time to visit his sixth brother. The last time he'd been here, the garden outside had been teeming with life. This time, not only were the flowers and plants in the yard gone, but even the trees barely had any leaves on them.
"Xiaojiu, I'm not saying anything to you, but we have the title of God of Wealth on our heads after all. Why are you so stingy? You thought the house was damp, so why didn't you light up the floor heating in advance? How much money can you spend today? Do you need those little things?"
Are you short of a few melons and dates? Yinzhen said he was desperately short of them. He might be called the God of Wealth, but he couldn't stand up to his sixth brother, a money-spending boy. Do you know how he's been spending the past two months? He's been so busy spending money every day that he's almost dying.
"Sixth brother, you say that so lightly. Do you know how much money I've spent in Japan in the past two months? That's a full two million taels of silver. Besides bribing the Japanese court officials, we have to send some people over. In order to arrange these people of unknown origin to the residences of various important Japanese officials, I've been working so hard. It wasn't until I sent that kid Zheye away yesterday that I finally had time to breathe. So today I come to report to you."
Since he said he was here to report, Yinzhen naturally would not be vague. He carefully repeated his arrangements in Japan during this period to Yinzuo, and then the two brothers sat together to review and fill in the gaps. They didn't finish their work until the evening. Although it was getting dark outside, the rain showed no sign of stopping. Yinzhen didn't want to leave in the first place, and now he had a ready-made excuse.
"Xiaojiu, I won't stop you from living here, but you have to convince Khan Ama yourself. It's true that Shufengxuan is my territory, but I don't have the final say over Changchun Garden. If you ask me, you should just go back to the capital. At the very least, why don't you stay in West Garden for a few days?"
Yinzuo lived in Shufengxuan with the special permission of Kangxi. Except for him, other princes who did not have gardens nearby, including Yinreng, lived in the West Garden. Of course, as the crown prince, Yinreng would definitely not squeeze into the four princes' residences with other princes. He had his own separate residence - Taoyuan Book House.
"Go and convince Khan Ama yourself? Forget it. I get nervous when Khan Ama glares at me, so how can I dare to bargain with him? It's raining outside and I'm too lazy to go back to the capital. Sixth brother, send someone to West Garden and ask them to clear out a room for me. I'll stay there tonight."
Yinzuo looked at Yinzhen, who instantly became timid when Kangxi was mentioned, and felt so disappointed in him that he stood up, walked to Yinzhen, and slapped him on the back of the head.
"You always looked so capable, but it turns out you're just this capable. Is Khan Ama some kind of monster? He's your father, why are you so nervous about him? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Could he possibly eat you..."
It's not that Yinzhen didn't understand what Yinzuo was saying, but what good was it? Would that prevent him from being a coward in front of his father? It didn't prevent him from being a coward at all, right? Yinzhen felt that not only was he a coward in front of his father, but he was also no match for his sixth brother. Look at how his sixth brother slapped him repeatedly, and didn't he dare to dodge?
Although Yinzuo slapped Yin'er without mercy when he was angry with him, he was really good to his younger brother. He didn't know that Yin'er had no place to live nearby in Changchun Garden, so he went to his father to ask for a garden for him that night after beating Yin'er. Although this garden was far inferior to Yinzuo's Enze Garden in terms of area and geographical location, Yin'er, a bald prince, was able to get a garden first by suppressing his brothers, the Beile brothers, so what else did he need?
