What was Yinzuo doing in the Qing Palace today? He was here to complain to his patron. Look, he didn't even wait for Liang Jiugong to bring his shoes. He just took off his boots and walked a few steps to Kangxi.
"Khan, Ama, when you see mother later, you must speak well to her on behalf of her son. How could she be like this? It's okay for her to forget her son after having a grandson, but how can she still listen to one side of the story? Just because of a word from Hongxu, mother wanted to beat me with a feather duster without saying a word. What did I do? Didn't I just pinch Hongxu's face a few times? And my fourth brother, he is not a good person either. Mother asked him to hand over the feather duster, and he didn't hesitate at all. It was snowing heavily, and they actually drove me out like this. Humph, it's easy for them to beat me out, but it's difficult for them to let me go back. Ama, my son has decided. I don't want to go back to Yonghe Palace to accompany mother to stay up all night. I will stay with you in your Qianqing Palace."
Isn't that the saying? People play many roles in their lives, and of all these roles, being a child is the easiest, because only this role can be unconditionally tolerated countless times. Kangxi knew Yinzuo very well, so how could he not know how much water was in this kid's words? But what could he do if he knew? It didn't seem to bother him.
"Your mother is the same. It's such a small matter for her to get so angry. If she was really angry, she could just slap you twice, but why did she hit you with a feather duster? It's a good thing you're wearing thick winter clothes, otherwise you'd have marks all over your body. Come on, it's so cold, don't stand on the ground anymore, sit on the couch and warm yourself up..."
Yinreng was sitting next to Kangxi and Yinzuo, and he was not deaf, so he could hear clearly what the father and son said. If you ask him what he thought of the conversation between his father and Yinzuo, Yinreng could only say that he had a comprehensive and profound understanding of the meaning of the idiom "one-sided listening and one-sided belief". In fact, it was hard not to understand it, after all, it was a personal performance for him. Haha, when it comes to one-sided listening and one-sided belief, who can compare with his father?
Even though Yinzuo said he would not go back to Yonghe Palace to keep Defei company at night, with Yinzhen as his second father, his words did not count at all. As soon as the family dinner in the Qing Palace was over, Yinzuo was carried out by Yinzhen and Fourteen, one on each side, holding his arms.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you two doing? Let go, there are so many people watching..."
The 46th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign began in such a noisy and chaotic atmosphere. However, before the lively atmosphere of the New Year subsided, Emperor Kangxi dropped another bombshell on everyone. That's right, he was going on another southern tour. Moreover, he was very generous this time. The list of people accompanying him was so long that it could circle the palace several times. Not only did he bring all the adult princes, but he also brought several of the emperor's grandchildren.
The Nanxun team set out from the capital on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, and traveled slowly for three days before finally boarding the imperial boat at Yangliuqing, Jinghai County on the 25th day of the first lunar month. Although it is said that the second time is familiar, Yinzuo had not been on this boat for several years after all, so he was obviously not very familiar with them. Look, he vomited again not long after boarding the boat.
"I remember that I was fine the last time I came back from the Southern Tour. Why am I vomiting again? Liang Jiugong, quickly send someone to the boat behind to bring Doctor Wang over and see if he has any solution. We can't just keep vomiting all the way."
Although Kangxi asked someone to invite Doctor Wang, everyone present knew that even if Doctor Wang came, the most he could do was to give Yinzuo acupuncture to help him feel better. What else could he do? If he had a way, Yinzuo would not have vomited all the way to Jiangnan last time.
Fortunately, Kangxi had many places to visit during his southern tour, and the imperial boat could always dock for some rest every few days, which made Yinzuo's difficult days a little easier.
"Father, if there's ever another situation where you need to go on a boat tour, please don't bring your son with you. I'm not just going out to relax, I'm here to suffer. Look, I've been vomiting these past few days, not only is my voice hoarse and my face pale, but I've also lost all my strength. When Honghui came to see me the other day, he almost scared the child to tears..."
Isn't there a saying that goes - knowing it earlier is worth a thousand gold, but regretting it is worth ten thousand gold. After the last incident, Kangxi thought Yinzuo's seasickness was cured. He never expected that he just vomited too much last time and produced antibodies. Now that he hasn't been on a boat for a few years, the antibodies have subsided, and his seasickness has recurred. If he knew that he was the same as last time, Kangxi would definitely not take him with him no matter what.
But by now, it was too late to say anything. After all, he was already on the boat. Could he still be sent back to the capital? And even if he wanted to, would Yinzuo agree? He had suffered so much, wouldn't being sent back mean all his suffering was in vain? In short, there was no way he could go back. Youth has no price. He had to go south even if he died.
Where there is a will, there is a way. This saying is true everywhere. Last time, Yinzuo was able to stagger all the way to Jiangnan while practicing drunken boxing, and it is obvious that he can do it this time too. Look, hasn’t he succeeded?
"Sixth Uncle, please be careful with your steps. How about I help you? There are so many people watching us on the shore. If we're not careful..."
With the experience of being in the spotlight last time, Yinzuo was determined not to let Kangxi drag him out even though he was still dizzy. Originally, with the younger generation like Hongxi around, Yinzuo was thinking of forcing himself to get off the boat, but after hearing Hongxi's reminder, he felt that his nephew was right. After all, there were so many people on the shore watching. If he fell headfirst onto the ground, he would be so embarrassed.
After getting ashore, the short journey from the pier to the palace was much easier for Yinzuo than on the boat. Although the carriage would shake, at least people were on land. In a word, as long as we didn't take the boat, our Prince Zhao could be a hero no matter where we went.
Because Kangxi was accompanied by a large number of people on this southern tour and the palace was of limited size, it was naturally impossible to give each person a separate residence like last time. Except for Kangxi and Yinreng who had separate residences, most of the other princes lived in groups of two or three. This time, Yinzhen, Yinzuo, and Shisi were all on the list of people accompanying the emperor, so the three brothers were naturally assigned to one place.
"Fourteen, what kind of fate do I have? I finally vomited all the way to Suzhou, but in the end, they assigned a jailer to watch me. Xiaojiu and the others went out for a stroll the day after they arrived, but what about me? We've been here for a few days, and I haven't even left the gate of our palace. See? The jailer went out, and they had to send two people to watch me. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to Khan Aman to deny it..."
