After groping around for a while, he found that there was no one around him. Yinzuo rubbed his eyes and sat up. When he opened his eyes, he was the only one left on the bed.
"Brother~" Yinzuo opened the bed curtain with his two little hands and only poked out a little head.
Nanny Cheng had been guarding in the hall. When she heard the noise, she immediately stepped forward and helped the young master hang up the bed curtain using the hooks on both sides.
"Sixth Prince has woken up, Fourth Prince is outside, may I help you wash up first?"
"Okay~" Yinzuo, who had just woken up, pouted. The little fat on his face was particularly obvious, making him look round and cute.
At the last step of washing, a warm towel was placed on his face. Yinzuo sighed comfortably: "Ah~ So comfortable, warm~"
"I know that Sixth Prince likes to wash his face with hotter water, so I specifically asked Shunfeng to add less cold water." Nanny Cheng was a very considerate person, and Shunfeng was willing to listen to her, so Yinzuo enjoyed increasingly thoughtful service.
"Mrs. Cheng knows me best, and Shunfeng is also very considerate. I am so lucky to have you by my side~"
"I am lucky to have the honor to serve the Sixth Prince." Shunfeng replied with a smile.
Of course, what kind of place is Chengqian Palace? The Sixth Prince is also favored by the Imperial Concubine. Not only does he often receive rewards, but he also eats and uses the best food. The servants also benefit a lot.
The most important thing is that the Sixth Prince is easy to serve and has a good temper. He will even take the initiative to stand up and protect them when something happens. Last time, the emperor was furious because of the flower planting incident, and they all thought they would be punished, but they didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would actually make excuses for them. Since they, the servants, came to the Sixth Prince's side, they have hardly suffered any grievances.
In a very good mood, Yinzuo jumped out like a carefree little bird.
"Brother~"
"Awake? Then I'll accompany you to pay respects to the Imperial Mother." Yinzhen, who was squatting in the corridor watering the two daylilies, stood up.
Yinzuo heard him say to the somewhat unfamiliar eunuch beside him: "I have written down the methods of maintenance. You can go back first."
"I'll take my leave."
After the man left, Yinzuo walked forward and took his brother's hand.
"Who is that?"
"Didn't the servant who takes care of the flowers and plants in the flower room promise you last night that he would try his best to make them bloom as soon as possible? I asked Su Peisheng to call him over this morning to ask him about it. After all, everyone has his own specialty."
"Tree? But it is a flowering grass~" Yinzuo blinked and said with his head tilted.
Yinzhen pinched the particularly soft fat on his face and sighed.
"Yinzuo, follow me and start studying."
"Study? No, no!" Yinzuo shook his head quickly. He was very averse to studying and going to school because for him, it was not a very pleasant experience, otherwise he would not have dropped out of school and stayed at home in his previous life.
Yinzhen frowned. He really didn't expect that the little guy would be so averse to studying. How could this be possible? Even if he didn't want to become a talented person, he still had to learn what he should learn. Otherwise, how would he work in the court in the future?
"I'm still young~" After saying this, Yinzuo ran towards the main hall by himself, as if there was some terrifying beast behind him.
After all, he had just reconciled with Yinzuo. Yinzhen thought about it and realized that Yinzuo would only be two years old in a few days, so he would just let him play well for another one or two years and he would just give him more guidance on a daily basis.
In the afternoon, Yinzhen was studying how to make daylilies bloom as soon as possible. He picked up a pen and wrote down the points that the servant in the greenhouse had said: they like sunshine, need frequent fertilization, and need ventilation and warmth. The first three points are not difficult to solve. Although a warm environment can also promote flowering, it is not easy to implement. First, there are not enough conditions to support it. Second, to meet the requirements of both greenhouse and ventilation at the same time is really confusing.
Yinzuo was lying on the couch, solving a nine-ring puzzle that he had received from the Imperial Concubine in the morning, with great interest.
"Sixth Prince, the eunuch from Yuqing Palace wants to see you. He said he has come to give you tools for taking care of flowers and plants." Shunshui walked in and reported.
Yinzhen paused with his pen in his hand, and a drop of ink fell in the center of the paper, ruining the few words he had just written.
Upon hearing this, Yinzuo looked towards his brother cautiously. He still remembered that his brother said before going to bed at night that he didn't like the Crown Prince very much, and his brother had also specifically told him to stay away from the Crown Prince.
"Since the prince is kind enough to send someone to deliver the gift, Yinzuo, you should go meet him."
After Yinzhen admitted his knot to Xiaoliu, he also reflected on it. Not only is he young now, but he also needs to keep a low profile and not let the emperor find out that something is wrong. Otherwise, even if he is a prince, he will be treated as a monster.
It's good that Xiaoliu has the prince to protect him. At least before he is able to protect Xiaoliu, the prince is a very good backer. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will be like his Thirteenth Brother in the previous life, where he can only watch him being punished without being able to help.
Yinzuo breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no unhappiness on his brother's face.
"Then ask him to come in."
"Greetings to the Sixth Prince, and to the Fourth Prince. I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deliver two sets of tools for growing flowers to the Sixth Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also specifically instructed that if the Sixth Prince finds any of the tools difficult to use, he can tell me at any time and I will have them fixed immediately."
"Thank you, eunuch. Just put down your tools. Go back and thank the Crown Prince for me. Tell him that I am busy planting birthday gifts for the Grand Empress Dowager at the order of the Emperor. I will personally go to Yuqing Palace to express my gratitude when I have the chance."
The eunuch thought: Although the Sixth Prince is young, he is eloquent and intelligent. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes him so much.
"Yes, I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'll take my leave."
"Father-in-law, please go slowly. I will take you out." Shunshui is smart and he is the one who handles all the external social activities.
Su Peisheng also nodded secretly. The twins beside the Sixth Prince were indeed smart, so he had to be extremely careful. He couldn't let them outshine him.
Yinzuo got off the couch, ran to his brother, and said righteously: "I don't want that tool, I definitely won't use it!"
Seeing him running over so nervously, Yinzhen smiled and rubbed his head.
"Since you don't need it, why not give it to me."
Meow meow meow? Yin Zuo looked confused. No, what's going on? Doesn't my brother dislike the crown prince? Why did he take the initiative to ask for the things he sent?
"Don't you like planting flowers? The Royal Mother said that the flower bed in the backyard will be ready in a few days. Spring is coming, and it's a good time to plant seeds. Don't you need my help?"
"Yes!" Although Yinzuo liked it, he was not without self-awareness. He definitely couldn't do it well alone, so he felt at ease with his brother around.
"I won't use the little silver spoon this time, so as to avoid getting embarrassed again. That's why I asked you to give me the tool. If you don't want to use it, just continue to dig with your little silver spoon." Yinzhen said seriously.
"I use it~" Yinzuo pouted and felt a little aggrieved. He obviously said no because he was afraid that his brother would be unhappy, but his brother turned out to be happy.
The two brothers spent the next month taking care of the daylilies and planting new flower seeds in the backyard. During these days, the eldest prince, the third prince, the eldest princess, the second princess and the crown prince all asked people to send them a lot of seeds, which must be rare varieties. Together with those given by the imperial mother and mother, Yinzuo and Yinzhen were busy for several days.
Especially Yinzhen, he had to look through books to find out what growing conditions were suitable for different varieties of flowers. Even the servants in the greenhouse went to Chengqian Palace dozens of times this month.
However, what surprised Yinzhen was that Yinzuo had a very good memory. He could remember how to plant different flowers correctly just by being told it once. After planting them, he would also remember when to water which flowers and how much to water them, as if all of this was imprinted in his mind. Even Yinzhen could not do this.
The results of growing flowers were quite encouraging. Many of them had begun to sprout, and Yinzhen could be considered relieved.
One evening, Yinzhen specially found a copy of the Three Character Classic and read a short passage in front of Yinzuo.
Then he casually asked him: "Yinzuo, if jade is not polished, what is behind it?"
"No" Yinzuo had just said one word when he found that Yinzhen was looking at him expectantly, and his eyes rolled around.
"I don't know~"
Yinzhen almost couldn't breathe.
"Think about it again. I just finished reading, 'If the jade is not polished, what will come next?'" He continued to try to guide patiently.
"If jade is not polished...it will be ugly~" Yinzuo laughed after he said this, it was quite smooth.
Yinzhen frowned and looked at him steadily.
“…Brother~” Yinzuo didn’t dare to act naughty anymore.
"You were able to understand such complicated flower planting a few days ago, why can't you change it to the Three Character Classic? Don't deliberately fool me."
"If jade is not carved, it cannot become a useful object." Yinzuo answered obediently.
Only then did Yinzhen stop keeping a stern face.
"But brother, I don't like reading~"
"Why?" Yinzhen did not get furious immediately, but asked the reason.
"Because it's boring and uninteresting." He would also be bullied. Of course, Yinzuo did not say the last point.
"Without learning, you cannot broaden your talents; without ambition, you cannot achieve learning. If you don't read, you won't have more knowledge and talents. How are you going to achieve your own great career in the future? Are you going to live a mediocre life?" Yinzhen was a very hardworking person. He had his own ambitions, so he patiently persuaded Yinzuo to study.
"But Yinzuo doesn't want to achieve anything great. He just wants to accompany mother and brother. If Xiaoliu doesn't study, will you love him less?" Yinzuo's eyes suddenly filled with tears. He couldn't accept this.
Seeing how pitiful he was, Yinzhen couldn't bear to say those cruel words that would make him sad, so he quickly went over to hug him and comfort him.
"Of course not." Although Yinzhen was not very willing to see Yinzuo hate studying, it seemed that even if he didn't learn those things, it wouldn't be a big deal. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten that he obviously hated those idle and lazy people the most.
Yinzhen did not notice that he was now more worried about Yinzuo than Hongli, the successor he had chosen, but he was reluctant to demand as much from Yinzuo as he did from Hongli.
But in this case, he was really worried about Yinzuo's future. Could it be that Yinzuo
He will end up like Lao Jiu, who was ignorant when he was young and the emperor didn't give him any tasks when he grew up. In the end, he can only hang out with those money-grubbing businessmen all day long.
He couldn't handle it, so he thought of asking his mother, whom Yinzuo also cared about, to help persuade her. For the first time, on a non-special day, he took the initiative to go to Yonghe Palace.
