Since Yinzuo had to prepare things, the letter was naturally sent later, so the first thing Kangxi received was Yinreng's letter. In the letter, he first explained some of his experiences as regent during these days, and then assured Kangxi that everything was fine in the capital. The best thing was that it was bitterly cold in Mobei and asked Kangxi to take care of his health. The letter was written in a standard manner. Kangxi read it carefully twice, and then gave it to Liang Jiugong to put it in the jade box on his desk.
A few days after receiving Yinreng's letter, Yinzo's letter also arrived, and along with the letter came the ridiculously large wooden box he had prepared. Kangxi squeezed the thin envelope in his hand, then looked at the ridiculously large box on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Are you sure the letter was exactly like that when you received it from the Sixth Prince? Are there any mistakes or omissions? And this box of things was also what he asked you to bring back."
The guard who was suspected by Kangxi of having made a mistake in the letter was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted that he was innocent.
"Your Majesty, I personally received this letter from the Sixth Prince. There is absolutely no mistake or omission. If you don't believe me, just look at the wax seal. These things were indeed prepared by the Sixth Prince and asked me to bring them to you. It was because of this that I was late in returning these days."
Kangxi glanced at the envelope in his hand. Sure enough, the fire seal was still there. He waved his hand for the guard to stand up. After the guard left, Kangxi immediately opened Yinzuo's letter. Compared to the prince's eloquent letter that stretched for several pages, Yinzuo's letter was only one page long and heavily inflated, mostly consisting of idle chatter. Kangxi read the letter word by word for a long time before he dared to believe he was reading it correctly.
"Look, there are only about 200 words in total, and nearly half of them are nonsense. I just need that little thing from him. Go open the box and see what he sent from so far away."
Although Kangxi said words of reproach, he had not been smiling since he read the letter. Seeing Liang Jiugong opening the box, he could not sit still and followed him.
When the big box was opened, the things inside were so varied and dazzling. There were many kinds of food and daily necessities. Liang Jiugong picked up the things one by one and placed them on the floor of the imperial tent. Soon a large area of things piled up on the floor. When he finished cleaning up, he found a letter at the bottom of the box.
Kangxi took the envelope from Liang Jiugong, opened it, and took out the letter, but he was dumbfounded after just a glance at it. The letter was not for him at all, so he turned around and threw the letter to Liang Jiugong.
"Take a good look at this. This is written to you by your Sixth Prince."
Now Liang Jiugong was dumbfounded. It wasn't that he couldn't read, so why would the Sixth Prince write to him? Besides, he had been with Kangxi for so many years, how could he not understand the temper of the master he served? Although the tone sounded indifferent at first, the act of throwing the letter showed that he was definitely angry.
"Your Majesty, please stop joking with me. You know I can barely read, so how could I possibly understand what's in this letter? Sixth Prince either addressed the wrong recipient, or he's embarrassed to say something to you directly, so he wrote it down under the pretext of instructing me. How could he not know I'm illiterate? But knowing this and still writing this letter, doesn't that just mean, as I suspected, this letter is for you?"
Kangxi was very angry at first, but after hearing Liang Jiugong's explanation, he felt that it made some sense. So when he saw Liang Jiugong coming over with the letter, he took the letter back. After he read the letter, he was basically certain that Liang Jiugong's guess was right. Yinzuo was a shy kid and was embarrassed to say these things directly to him, so he wrote it down for himself in the name of explaining to Liang Jiugong.
"Liang Jiugong, keep my portion separate and send the separately packed items to the eldest prince and his friends according to the names on them. This kid is really something. Why should he be embarrassed to say that he cares about and respects his father? In this respect, he is not as good as the crown prince..."
Although he said that Yinzuo was not as good as the prince, Kangxi took the two letters from Yinzuo on the table, stacked them together, folded them carefully, took out the purse on his waist, poured out the incense and herbs inside, put the letters in, and then put on the purse on his body so openly.
Although Liang Jiugong was picking up the things on the ground, he also saw Kangxi's actions clearly. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, alas, this time, Prince, you have lost another 10% in the favor of the His Majesty. After all, no matter how good your words are, they are not as good as his actions.
It's said that people just love to make up stories. In fact, when Yinzuo wrote the letter, he really didn't have the idea that Liang Jiugong and Kangxi thought he did it on purpose. He really wrote the letter to Liang Jiugong. He thought that Liang Jiugong was illiterate, but the imperial guards must be able to read. If he told so many things to Kangxi one by one, he would definitely forget them as soon as he turned around. It would be better to tell them to the chief eunuch in front of the emperor. Who would have thought that a letter would make them make up so many stories.
Soon, the things that Yinzuo brought to Yinzhi and others were delivered to them by the people arranged by Liang Jiugong. When the things were delivered to Yinzhi, Yinzhi and others were gathered in Yinzhi's tent to discuss things. Everyone was surprised to see the things brought by the guards.
Although everyone knew that the person Khan Ama sent to the capital to deliver fish to Yinzuo had returned today, and they also knew that they brought back a lot of things from the capital, no one among Yinzuo and his companions had expected that they would include their share of these things.
"Brother, please open it and see what Yinzuo has put in it."
As soon as the guards left, everyone rushed over to the package impatiently. Yinzhen had already learned from the guards that each of Yinzhi and the others had such a package. He thought that the contents should be similar, so he was not afraid that they would snatch the things away after he opened them. In addition, he was really curious about what was inside, so when Yinzhi and the others urged him, he squatted down and opened the package without any hesitation.
"Wow, there's quite a lot of stuff in here. This is a knee pad, right? It's quite practical in Mobei. These two small jars are sealed so tightly, they must be hot sauce or something. Is this palm-like thing a glove..."
When Yinzhi took out all the things in the package, he was almost surrounded by them. Everyone no longer had the heart to continue the discussion and said goodbye to Yinzhi and hurried back to their tents. They also wanted to see what was in their packages.
Of course, the packages of Yinzhi and others were no different from Yinzhen's, except that Yinzhen's package contained a small jar of his favorite pickles, which Yinzuo had added after careful consideration. It was not that he was stingy, but he was concerned that the weather was getting warmer, and if he put other things in it, they would not be able to keep and would go bad.
