After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Kangxi and his two sons did not stay in the dining hall for too long. After washing their hands and rinsing their mouths, they stood up and walked towards the flower hall where Yinzuo had been before. Yinzuo was feeling very hungry at the moment, and after returning to the flower hall, he did not find a place to stay as usual, but instead strolled around the flower hall with his hands behind his back.
Others didn't know what kind of person Yinzuo was, but Kangxi and Yinreng knew it very well. This guy would never sit if he could lie down, and would never stand if he could sit. At this moment, there was no outsider in the hall, but he just kicked off his shoes, threw off his socks, and leaned on the couch. It seemed that he was really full from today's meal.
Kangxi didn't bother to bother with Yinzuo's roving about the hall. He'd probably stop if he felt like it, anyway. Yinreng, on the other hand, was dazzled by his whirling movements, but did he dare to intervene? Could he? Even though his father-in-law was glaring at Yinzuo, if he spoke, the two of them would instantly reconcile and unite. So, believing in the principle of less trouble, Yinreng simply pretended to be blind, concentrating his attention on the chessboard before him. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Yinzuo, let me ask you, if your second brother no longer becomes the crown prince, who among your brothers do you think is suitable to take this position?"
It's no exaggeration to say that as soon as Kangxi finished speaking, Yinzuo immediately sat down on the ground. It wasn't that he wasn't courageous or strong-willed, but rather that his father's question was too illicit. What did you mean by "Who do I think is suitable for this position?" "Do I think it's useful?" The final decision still rests with you, old man.
Kangxi obviously didn't expect that he could knock Yinzuo to the ground with just one sentence. Seeing him sitting there in a daze for a long time without getting up, he thought that he was injured somewhere due to the hard fall. He immediately stopped playing chess and hurriedly got up and walked towards Yinzuo.
Kangxi's brilliant move shocked everyone. Not only was Yinzuo shocked and fell to the ground, but even Yinreng sitting opposite him was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he reacted faster than Yinzuo. He came to his senses when Kangxi stood up and walked towards Yinzuo. Seeing that Yinzuo was still sitting there in a daze, he also stood up and walked towards him.
"Yinzuo, what happened to you? Where did you fall? Liang Jiugong, quickly go and get the imperial physician on duty at the Imperial Hospital. Yinzuo, Yinzuo..."
Although Kangxi shouted loudly, he squatted beside Yinzuo and did not dare to shake him at all. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Yinzuo's situation is unclear after all. If he rashly attacks and causes him secondary damage, it will be more harm than good.
Although Yinzuo was frightened by his father's words and his brain was temporarily disconnected, it did not mean that his ears had fallen off. Kangxi's voice was naturally not too low in a hurry. Yinzuo shuddered all over when he was yelled at in his ear, and his disconnected brain naturally searched for the signal and reconnected.
"No, no, there's no need to call a doctor, Father. I was just startled by what you said, and I haven't recovered for a while. I don't feel anything wrong with my body. Second brother, can you please help me up..."
Although Yinzuo said that he did not feel anything wrong, his old father was still worried, so he asked Liang Jiugong to go to the Imperial Hospital to bring the imperial physician on duty. After examining Yinzuo from head to toe and making sure that he was fine, he sent the imperial physician away along with the palace maid who had rushed in because of the noise.
After the imperial physician and the palace maids left, only Kangxi, Yinreng, Yinzuo and his son, and Liang Jiugong, who was standing at the door pretending to be a wooden man, were left in the huge hall. Yinzuo had just fallen down for no reason, and although his stomach was still knotting, he didn't plan to stroll around any longer in order to prevent his father from making any more shocking remarks. He kicked off his shoes, threw his socks to the ground, raised his legs and stepped onto the bed from the gap behind Kangxi, then pressed his father's shoulders and sat down on Kangxi's inner side.
"Look at you, you don't look like a prince at all. You've learned all the etiquette like a dog. Liang Jiugong, stop standing there. Come in and pick up his shoes and socks before you use him as a wooden stake at the door. Yinreng, stop studying your chessboard and come here to tear off this dog-skin plaster for me. And Yinzuo, you're almost thirty years old, how come you haven't even learned the most basic way to sit..."
Yinreng and Yinzuo, one was Kangxi's former favorite, and the other was Kangxi's current favorite. Neither of them looked like they would be afraid of Kangxi's nagging. Look, you were talking about yours and I was playing mine. One of them stared at the chessboard, and remained as steady as a mountain even after being glared at countless times by his father, the Khan. The other one leaned on Kangxi, and didn't move at all even after his forehead was poked red. Kangxi was so angry that he wanted to pull them both over and reward them with a big pot sticker each.
"Yinzuo, you haven't answered the question I asked you just now? If your second brother no longer serves as the crown prince, who do you want to take this position?"
My goodness, just now you were asking me who you thought was suitable for this position? Now you're asking me who you hope will take this position? You're talking as if I can decide. What? If I say I'm suitable, will you agree to let me be the crown prince?
Even though Yinzuo kept complaining in his heart and just wanted to run away, Kangxi and Yinreng were watching him closely, and Liang Jiugong was blocking him like a wooden stake from afar. Yinzuo knew that even if he wanted to run away, it would not be that easy.
"Father, what you said is not right. What do you mean by who I hope will sit in this position? What, if I tell you that I hope to be the crown prince myself, will you agree? Besides, my second brother is doing a good job as the crown prince. Why don't you let him do it? Let me tell you, this change of crown prince has shaken the foundation of the country. The crown prince cannot be abolished at will. Even if my second brother has done something wrong, as father, can't you be a little more tolerant of him? Look, he is still waiting for his face. You are hurting my second brother by saying this..."
Yinzuo originally wanted to tell Kangxi that talking to me about the issue of changing the crown prince in front of my second brother would hurt my second brother's feelings, but when he accidentally glanced at Yinreng's face with a warm smile, he couldn't say anything more.
Kangxi glanced at Yinzuo who was practicing Tai Chi with him, reached out and slapped Yinzuo's forehead several times, and snorted in annoyance.
"Come on, why aren't you talking anymore? Weren't you very good at speaking just now? How come you can't speak now that you've given your feelings to the wrong person? Come, take a good look at your second brother. See how happily he's smiling. He doesn't look sad at all. And you, you bastard, you keep saying every day that you're the best person in the world to me. So you really are the best person in the world to me? And I won't tolerate him. If I really didn't tolerate him, when he came to me time and again to resign from the position of Crown Prince, I would have had him dragged out and beaten with a stick..."
