What Yinzuo said was not alarmist. After all, in history, Kangxi spent almost the last twenty years of his life doing one thing - selecting successors. Yinzuo now understood that his brothers were indeed smarter than the nine dragons in history. They all understood the principle that touching the dragon's reverse scale would result in death.
Yinzuo now avoids the capital, a place of trouble. Now that his duty of visiting has been completed, he wishes he could grow wings and fly back to his Enze Garden. But there is a saying that goes, it is useless for the eunuch to worry about him, after all, he cannot leave unless his father, the emperor, agrees.
"Ah, is there anything else going on here? If not, I'll go back first. I asked my second brother to go fishing with me when I came out. He must be waiting anxiously by now."
How could Kangxi not know what Yinzuo was doing? What kind of monster was this crown prince position? It could terrify him so much that he wanted to run away. Hey, I won't grant your wish today.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Your second brother is already a grown-up. He can't wait for you, but he can't fish on his own. Look at how little you have achieved. Didn't you like staying in my palace the most? Why are you scared today? Don't worry, I'm not confused. With your lazy nature, if this beautiful country is handed over to you, I'm afraid it won't be long before it is destroyed..."
Hey, why are you using personal attacks when you're just speaking? What do you mean by "leave this great land to me and it's not far from ruin"? Do you think your words are polite? Did you forget that you just said I was gifted and intelligent since I was a child, capable of everything?
"What do you mean by 'I'm incompetent'? What's wrong with me? Fine, you keep the throne, and don't pass it on to me, or I'll destroy your beautiful country. And, Father, provoking someone doesn't work on me. You don't think you can stir up my fighting spirit by saying this, do you? If you really do, then I tell you, you've miscalculated."
It must be said that Yinzuo and Fourteenth Prince are indeed brothers from the same mother. He used to say that Fourteenth Prince won all the beatings by his own strength. Now it seems that this is also applicable to him. Kangxi swears that he really wants to be a kind father, but he won't let this naughty child of his. Looking at his son who is smiling at him opposite, Kangxi now has only one thought in his mind - beat him until he cries.
It is obvious that Yinzuo's exercise target for today will be completed in another tug-of-war between father and son. Although Yinzuo usually portrays himself as a weak and delicate person, when it comes to avoiding his father's ruler, he dares to say that you can find him anywhere in the world. If he dares to say that he is second to none, then no one dares to be the first.
"Father, we've almost had enough. If we keep chasing like this, our son will exceed his exercise limit today. How about this? I'll just stand here and let you hit me a few times to vent your anger. Look at me, I'm sweating all over in this cold weather. What's the point?"
Did Kangxi want to beat Yinzuo a few times to vent his anger? Well... maybe that was the case at the beginning, but in the process of chasing Yinzuo and beating him, his initial anger had almost dissipated. Later on, he was just treating this as a parent-child time to entertain the child. Otherwise, why didn't the ruler land on Yinzuo after chasing him for so long?
"Alright, just stand there and let me hit you a few times, and I'll let you go. You've ruined my beautiful country. If you dare to talk nonsense like this again, I'll beat you up."
He said that Yinzuo should stand there and hit him a few times before being kicked out, but when Yinzuo really stood there motionless, Kangxi couldn't bear to do it. He threw the ruler in his hand to the ground, turned around and walked towards his desk.
"Yinzuo, go out and find a place to play by yourself. After I finish dealing with these memorials, you can have dinner with me before returning."
Although he could not keep this beautiful land, Yinzuo was not reluctant to accompany his father for a meal. Since Kangxi was busy at the moment, Yinzuo did not disturb him. He bowed to his father and turned to walk out of the study.
It was still early for dinner, and Yinzuo didn't want to go back to the side hall to sleep. Remembering that he hadn't seen his mother for some time, he simply took Dexi out of the Qianqing Palace and wandered towards the Yonghe Palace.
"Oh, are you ladies busy? It seems I came here at an unfortunate time. Concubine Yi, you seem to be lucky today, don't you? Look at how many wins you've made. I just wonder if your son has the honor of enjoying your company."
What a coincidence that Yinzuo arrived today. Aren't the four concubines, Hui, Yi, De, and Rong, all gathered together playing mahjong? Or is it not said that Yinzuo has a mouth that says one thing to one person and another to another? Look, in just a few words, he has persuaded Concubine Yi to give him all the silver in front of her.
"Look, what gust of wind blew our Zhaojun Prince to my Yonghe Palace today? Those who know I have three sons would think I only have the fourth son now."
Well, what they said was so obvious, and Yinzuo was not stupid, so how could he not hear it? Mother was blaming him for not coming to Yonghe enough. What could he do now? This was such a big blame, he couldn't bear it.
"Mother, are you blaming your son for not coming to your place often? I'm not taking the blame. If you want to blame someone, blame Khan Ama. If he hadn't scared my son every day, would I have to live in the garden in such a cold weather? Look at me, I've lost so much weight recently because of worry. How about this, can you help me ask Khan Ama to stop scaring me? Then I can move back home and come to see you every day."
Even though the Qing Dynasty stipulated that concubines could not interfere in politics, it did not mean that they were completely unaware of what happened in the previous dynasty. Nowadays, who doesn't know that the Palace of Heavenly Purity is a place of right and wrong? There is no time to hide, so why would they go to plead for you? The moment Yinzuo said this, Defei suddenly felt that it would be nice to have only Yinzhen as a son.
"You're begging for mercy, but you're dreaming. Everyone knows that your Khan Ama loves you the most. If he could punish you, then who knows how you've angered him. But seeing how you can run and jump, your Ama probably won't be ruthless. In that case, just bear with it."
They say that fatherly love is like a mountain and motherly love is like water. Yinzuo feels that his mountain is solid, but the water doesn't seem so gentle. What do you mean by "just bear with it"? Mother, shouldn't you get up now and pull your son to see if he has lost weight recently?
In Yonghe Palace, Yinzuo suffered the baptism of his mother's love that was surging to the point of overflowing. In the end, he decided to go back to his father to seek some comfort and replenish his blood. There was no other way. It was true that mother's love was like water, but what his mother was doing was obviously a flood mixed with mudslides.
