Yinzhi lived outside the palace and could only see Kangxi a few times a year. After returning, he saw them showing affection every day, which he could not bear. For a period of time, he often went to Consort Hui's palace to cry. Consort Hui asked him, but he would not say anything. Later, she found out what was going on. This was one of the reasons why Consort Hui hated the Crown Prince so much.
Yinzhi was drinking alone, feeling depressed. He thought about his wife, whose father-in-law had said that she would be dismissed from her post immediately, while the Crown Prince's brother, the Emperor, had been showered with gifts and sent to Yuqing Palace as soon as he heard that he was a strong and healthy man.
When the eldest prince was born, it was during the mourning period, so a grand celebration for his third-day celebration and full-month celebration was not allowed. When he turned one year old, the princess consort said that he was the emperor's first grandson and that it would be an eyesore for others, so a grand celebration was not held.
The second legitimate son of the grandfather did not have a grand celebration for his third-day-old celebration and full-moon celebration due to the war.
The third legitimate son of the prince, this time there was no reason, it was just because the crown prince had no healthy offspring. Hongyu suffered two misfortunes, which frightened the princess, so there was no grand celebration.
The eldest son of the emperor was not given a name until he turned one year old, while the second and third sons were not given names at all. But the crown prince's son was given a name as soon as he turned one month old. However, he was born to a princess. What does this mean?
Even the children born to the Crown Prince and his concubines are more noble than the eldest legitimate son of the Crown Prince, not to mention the second legitimate son.
When Yinzhi thought about his childhood, he realized he was just a background figure, following behind the father and son, an outsider. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more he drank, until he finally collapsed.
The Third Prince had a low alcohol tolerance, but by getting the Crown Prince drunk like this, he got drunk before the Crown Prince even did.
The Fifth Prince was depressed and also got drunk.
In the end, all of Kangxi's sons, from the first to the fifth in line, collapsed and had to be carried back home.
When Emperor Kangxi found out, he was reviewing memorials. He remained silent for a while, then continued reviewing the memorials. No one knew what he meant.
Yinzhi was carried back, and before he even entered the main courtyard, he vomited, covering Liu Bajin in the vomit.
He Zhuo and the others left first. The wives of the princes saw that the princes were having a great time, so they agreed to come back first.
He Zhuo heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on. This was a big drunkard. Yin Zhi had also developed a high alcohol tolerance in the army and was not usually drunk. How much had he drunk?
"Eunuch Liu, go wash up and change your clothes. I'll serve you, sir." He Zhuo took the smelly drunkard from him.
Seeing himself looking so disheveled, Liu Bajin hurriedly went downstairs to take a bath and change his clothes. He was exhausted from getting back. He knew his master was upset. "Why is His Majesty so biased?" he thought. "Seeing his master so wronged and sad, Liu Bajin felt indignant on behalf of his master. The emperor is really something."
However, he only dared to say it in his heart, not aloud.
He Zhuo had Zhou Fugui and several eunuchs carry him into the washroom, then had Zhou Fugui remove Yin Zhi's outer robe before letting them leave.
Yinzhi was completely drunk; even when Hezhuo splashed water on his head, he barely reacted, muttering, "Father, Father..."
He Zhuo didn't hold back, giving him a thorough wash, drying his hair, and then tossing him onto the soft couch.
The weather isn't hot yet, so they won't get cold.
To prevent the person from falling down in the middle of the night, a stool was moved next to them to support them.
As he turned to leave, his hand was grabbed. The drunkard mumbled, "Father, Father," and then called out, "Mother, Mother." After that, he stopped calling out "Father" and kept calling out "Mother."
What could He Zhuo do? He Zhuo was helpless too. She could only act as this person's mother for a while, coaxing him like a son, patting him, and humming little lullabies.
"Baoqing, Mother is here, go to sleep..." Hezhuo hummed, and soon the man fell asleep, but he wouldn't let go of Hezhuo's arm. Hezhuo let him hold her for a while, but couldn't pull away. Worried that he would wake up and make a fuss, she directly pressed Yinzhi's sleeping acupoint, stuffed a big pillow into his mouth, gave him a bowl of hangover soup, and a bowl of spirit honey water, so that he wouldn't have a headache when he woke up.
