This time, the gathering between Yinzuo and his brothers was held at the same place as last time - next to the palace. Yinzhi and Yinzuo were responsible for getting the food, while Yinqi, Yinlu and others were responsible for staying in the palace to set up the venue.
In fact, there was nothing they needed to arrange. The tables, chairs, benches and grills were all ready-made. They could just be moved over when needed. The only headache was the summer specialty of the lakeside - mosquitoes.
But this obviously didn't faze Yinqi and the others. After all, when they encountered difficulties, they just had to make things difficult for others. Isn't it said that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated? Although their solution was simple and crude, it worked.
The palace servants first sprinkled mosquito repellent around the edge of the area designated by Yinqi and his men, then took a brazier and lit some mugwort and wormwood in the upwind direction, and then prepared some sachets for Yinqi and his men to carry with them. With this three-pronged approach, the results were naturally significant. Although not a single mosquito escaped, the harassment from mosquitoes was greatly reduced.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, look, that venison is actually jumping."
Yinzuo was startled by Fourteen's startled voice, and the skewers in his hand fell to the ground. The meat had just been grilled, and he hadn't eaten a bite yet when it fell to the ground. How could Yinzuo be happy? If he was not happy, Fourteen would be in trouble!
"Fourteen, you're itching for trouble again, aren't you? Didn't Sixth Brother tell you that if you yell 'brother' too much, you'll get a beating. Why are you so surprised? What's so strange about the meat jumping? The deer was just processed and sent over. The meat is still fresh, so of course it will jump. Come here, kid. I'll be sorry if I don't slap you a few times today. I dropped that skewer of meat on the ground..."
Fourteen was not stupid. It was obvious that his sixth brother wanted to deal with him, so how could he dare to go over? Not only did he not dare to go over, he quickly stood up and moved a few steps to the side. After making sure the distance was safe, he turned around and said to his sixth brother with an apologetic smile.
"Sixth brother, don't be angry. It's just a few skewers that fell off. I'll grill them again for you myself. Which one do you want to eat?"
It is not a good job to guard the stove in summer, so this time Yinzuo and his men did not choose to do it themselves. They just asked the palace servants to roast the meat and bring it over. After all, Fourteenth is Yinzuo's younger brother, so he naturally couldn't bear to let him guard the stove in the middle of summer.
"Come on, is this a punishment for you or a punishment for me? This half-cooked barbecue is enough for me to eat once. I don't want to experience it a second time."
Fourteenth didn't care at all about being despised and teased by his sixth brother. Seeing that Yinzuo was no longer going to argue with him, he quickly returned to his previous seat and sat down.
"Sixth brother is right. I will study hard and practice diligently in the future, and strive to let you eat my roasted meat as soon as possible. This time, I will be sorry to let you use some of it. I will wait for the next time. I will definitely roast the meat for you next time..."
It really proves the saying that everything in this world has its own nemesis. Although Fourteenth Brother is usually arrogant and domineering and runs rampant in the palace, he is as obedient as a mouse seeing a cat in front of Yinzuo. He pours tea and passes skewers to his sixth brother, and his attentive look is simply unbearable to watch.
"Fourteen, I'm not saying this to you, but as a man, how can we live under someone else's power for long? Aren't you usually quite formidable? Why don't you resist? Try harder and show your Sixth Brother a good show. Let him know how powerful you are."
Faced with Yinzhen's eagerness to watch the fun, if Fourteenth Brother wasn't a younger brother, he would have rolled his eyes at him. Look at what he said, "resistance," a word that is usually accompanied by blood and tears. Doesn't he resist? Isn't it because he resisted too many times that he was subdued?
Besides, he is only ten years old now, how can he not be considered a real man? Even if he is a real man, there is a saying that he can bend and stretch. His sixth brother is a tough guy who dares to withstand the anger of his father. Not to mention him, who among those present here has such courage?
"Sixth brother, just listen to what Big Brother said just now, but don't take it seriously. I never thought of resisting. Big Brother's words are obviously trying to sow discord. Don't be fooled..."
There is a big age gap between Yinzhen and Fourteenth, and he doesn't have much contact with him on a daily basis, but he also knows that Fourteenth has a very domineering personality. Seeing him like this in front of Yinzuo, he can't help but be very curious.
"Sixth brother, I'm really curious about what Fourteenth experienced while here with you. Look at him now. Is he still the legendary little bully of Yonghe Palace?"
The Little Overlord of Yonghe Palace? Yinzuo first turned his head to look at Fourteenth Prince, then turned his gaze to Yinzhi, raised his finger and waved it in front of him.
"No, no, big brother, this rumor is too much. You must be mistaken. The Little Bully of Yonghe Palace was never Little Fourteen. Aren't you curious about what Fourteen has experienced at my hands? I wonder if you have ever heard of this term, bloodline suppression. The reason Fourteen is like this is entirely due to the humiliation of bloodline suppression..."
What a great bloodline suppression! All this talk means just one thing: it turns out that it was conquered by beating. They did learn it, but it seemed that among the people sitting here, except Yinqi, no one else had much chance to put it into practice.
Obviously Yinzhen also realized this at this time. He turned his head to look at his brother Yinqi, and only felt relieved after confirming that he had no intention of suppressing his bloodline. But it was obviously too early for him to relax. Although his fifth brother did not intend to suppress him with his bloodline, he did not intend to let him go so easily.
"Xiaojiu, I don't ask you to be like Fourteen and serve me like that. How about this, my back and waist are sore from doing this for a while, can you give me a shoulder massage? Let me also experience the joy of having a younger brother."
So what? Just because you want to experience the joy of having a younger brother means I have to listen to you? Yes, he really did have to listen to his fifth brother. After all, he didn't want to be punished by his fifth brother. Fourteenth was punished by his sixth brother and couldn't win the case against Concubine De. It was the same for him. To his mother, his fifth brother was a treasure, a good boy, a beloved son, while to his mother, he was just three words: troublemaker.
"Alright, isn't it just a shoulder massage? That's no small feat. I'll be right there. Come on, Fifth Brother, sit down and feel my strength. Is it okay?"
Yin'er's attentive expression was exactly the same as Fourteen's just now. Yinzhi looked at Yinqi who was enjoying his brother's service with his eyes slightly narrowed. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: if he went back this time and told his mother that he wanted her to give birth to a younger brother, would his mother beat him to death?
