Isn't it said that those who can become emperors are ruthless? Apart from anything else, when it comes to staying up late, Yinzuo can't even keep up with his father. Look, he's older than him and stayed up half the night longer than him, yet when they set out the next morning, Kangxi looked much better than Yinzuo.
"Father, could you please stop the carriage for a moment? The sun is scorching outside, and your son wants to rest in your carriage for a while, is that okay?"
When the team first set out from Changchun Garden, it was still early in the morning, and the sun was still warm. Even though Yinzuo felt tired, he managed to stay on his horse. But as the sun rose higher and the weather became hotter, Yinzuo became increasingly restless. What was Yinzuo's life motto? It was never to make things difficult for himself. Since he didn't want to ride outside anymore, he decided to find a place to rest.
"Who did you take this stubborn temper from? I told you not to go out riding, but you refused to listen. Look at you, you're sweating all over in just a short while. Liang Jiugong, go get him a handkerchief and wipe it off."
The first thing Yinzuo did after climbing onto the carriage was to go straight to the low table next to Kangxi. He took the teapot on the table and drank two cups of tea in a row. Only then did the thirst in his mouth ease a little. He reached out and took the fan that Kangxi had placed next to him, opened it and fanned himself a few times. When he felt less hot, he spoke.
"Father, look at what you're asking. I'm your son, so of course my temperament is yours. I was thinking of going out for a horseback ride, but I didn't expect it to be so hot. I just ran for a while with my eldest brother and the others, but the heat was unbearable. So I followed your instructions and came back. Eunuch Liang, have you twisted your handkerchief? I'm feeling a little sleepy now.
Liang Jiugong had actually wrung out the handkerchief a long time ago. The reason he didn't take it over right away was that he was afraid of disturbing the conversation between Kangxi and Yinzuo. When Yinzuo called him, Liang Jiugong naturally didn't dare to delay any longer. Yinzuo took the handkerchief and wiped the exposed parts of his face, hands, and neck, and then threw the wet handkerchief on the table.
"Father, are you feeling sleepy now? If not, I'll go to your bed and take a nap. I slept too late last night and got up very early today. I really can't hold on any longer."
It must be said that this slightly shaking carriage is really a good place to sleep. When Yinzuo opened his eyes, what he saw was no longer the bright yellow roof of the imperial carriage. Because there was no light in the tent, Yinzuo was too lazy to move, so he stood up and shouted outside.
"Dexi."
Dexi was waiting outside the tent and walked in quickly as soon as he heard Yinzuo's voice. Of course, he was accompanied by several eunuchs holding lamps. With the light, the tent instantly became bright.
"Master, you are awake. The Emperor has specially ordered someone to leave dinner for you. Do you want to get up now?"
Yinzuo had slept for nearly a day and was now in good spirits. Naturally, he didn't want to lie in bed any longer. Upon hearing this, he stood up and moved to the side of the couch. He stretched out his thin body, took the clothes handed to him by Dexi, and put them on swiftly.
"You wouldn't have realized it until you told me, but I'm actually a little hungry right now. Please have someone clear the table in the tent and put dinner here soon."
If you ask Yinzuo if he wasn't curious about how he managed to move from the imperial carriage to the tent in his sleep, his answer would definitely be to advise you not to ask. After all, only by seeing through things without saying anything can friends continue to be friends.
As the saying goes, "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened." Yinzuo has always had a clear and thorough understanding of himself. Since he knows that he is the kind of person who cannot endure hardship, he naturally will not suffer hardship for no reason or seek punishment without guilt. For the rest of the journey, he obediently listened to his father's words and stayed in the imperial carriage. When they arrived at the grassland, his brothers were all tanned, but Yinzuo was the same as when he left the capital when he arrived at the grassland.
Even though Yinzuo had been nervous and anxious for a long time in the capital because of this trip to the frontier, all his worries seemed to be forgotten in an instant when he really arrived on the grassland. Except for the first few days when he was detained here by Kangxi and received the Mongolian princes who came to see him a few days ago, he was really busy the rest of the time. He was either dragging his elder brother and the guards into the woods, or taking Yinlu, Yin? and his Mongolian Anda Altai to run all over the grassland. Look, he has a big surprise for his father today.
"Father, look what goodies your son has brought back for you. I'm telling you, your son was very brave today. I shot such a big wolf and skewered it with one arrow. Look at the blood on the wolf's fangs, it's still fresh..."
Kangxi frowned and looked at the two wolf fangs in Yinzuo's hand for a long time before reaching out to take them. He pointed to the place in front of him and motioned Yinzuo to come over. After Yinzuo came closer and stood still, he put the two wolf fangs in his hand on the table, stood up, pulled Yinzuo over, and carefully examined him from top to bottom. After making sure that he was not injured, he reached out and poked Yinzuo's forehead hard.
"Yinzuo, you've really made it big. I thought you'd just wander around the grassland with your men, but I didn't expect you to be so bold as to even rob a wolf's den. Do you know how dangerous the wolves on the grassland are? You're just lucky this time, otherwise..."
Although Yinzuo said it so casually, one can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time from the torn clothes on his body. Didn't Kangxi know how capable Yinzuo was? So at this moment, he was only afraid of the consequences.
"Father, you really can't blame me for what happened this time. How could I have dared to dig out a wolf's den? We met on a narrow road, and it wanted to eat me. Could I just stand there and let it eat me? Since we want to show down the winner, then I definitely don't want to do it and leave it alone. Father, you must thank my Mongolian Anda Altai this time. If he hadn't risked his life to protect me, how could I stand in front of you so bravely and unscathed? Altai's arm was bitten several times by wolves. I have just asked Doctor Wang to come over. Doctor Wang is very good at treating arrow wounds, but I don't know if he can treat wolf bites. Father, do you have any imperial physicians who are better at treating wounds in this area? Lend them to me..."
Facing Yinzuo's doubts, Doctor Wang ultimately used his exceptional medical skills to prove himself the ultimate champion in every area. Isn't it said that the men of the grasslands have such tenacious vitality? Altai's injuries were not minor, but in just a few days, he was back to full health.
