Xiao Ba was already very smart, and after Yinzuo gave him a brief demonstration, he quickly understood the rules of the game, and the two brothers soon started playing together.
"Sixth brother, I won!" Yinsi looked at Yinzuo eagerly like a puppy asking for praise.
Yinzuo did not hesitate to praise him and spoke a long passage about it.
"Xiao Ba, you are so awesome! You beat me in the first game. You are so awesome, much better than Fifth Brother."
Yinzuo recalled that when he used to play with his fifth brother Yinqi, it took him half a day just to explain the rules. In comparison, Xiaoba was simply too good!
Yinsi was so happy to receive the praise from his sixth brother that he jumped several times with joy.
Little Nine Yin'er and Little Ten Yin'e, who were secretly watching from a distance, looked unhappy.
"I'm much better than him!"
"I'm better than him too!"
The two unconvinced little guys looked at each other, then bravely came forward together.
“I understand this, too.”
Yin'e raised his chin very proudly. After he finished speaking, he stole a glance at the expression of the handsome Sixth Brother, waiting for him to invite him to join the game.
Yinzuo blinked his eyes, looked at him and smiled, then said, "It's your turn, Xiaoba."
He actually completely ignored Yin'e's meaning. Yin'e stood stiffly with his eyes wide open, seeming to find it unbelievable.
On the contrary, Yinzhen, who was more flexible, rolled his eyes and began to speak softly.
"Sixth brother! I want to play this, too."
Considering that Yinzhen called him obediently, Yinzuo nodded in agreement, gave him a small half of his own picture cards, and briefly repeated the rules of the game.
"I see!"
The only one who was not taken to play together was Yin'e. His eyes gradually turned red. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and he looked like he was about to cry at any time. He looked really pitiful.
Yinzuo couldn't bear it any longer, so he walked up to him during a break in the game and asked him softly, "Xiao Shi, do you want to play with us?"
"I want to..." Yin'e responded in a crying voice.
"If you wanted to, why didn't you just say it?"
Yin'e cried out of grievance. His mother was a royal concubine, and whatever he wanted was always given to him by others. He had no idea that his handsome sixth brother had such rules.
"Hey." Yinzuo sighed, gave him a hug, and patted his back gently to coax him.
"Okay, stop crying. Next time you want to play with us, you have to say it nicely. Even if you are embarrassed to say it, we are all your brothers. At least you should call us brother. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Sixth brother..." Yin'e, who had calmed down, called out obediently.
Yinzuo wiped his tears, took him to Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, and gave a small half of his own pictures to the new member Xiaoshi.
Xiao Ba looked at his own picture cards and took the initiative to share half of them with his sixth brother who was the first one to be so kind to him.
Yinzuo smiled and rubbed his head, accepting his kindness.
"Thank you, Xiaoba. Xiaoba, why are you so well behaved~"
Yinsi's face turned red when he was praised, and he looked at his sixth brother with sparkling eyes.
The four children started a new round of games. Everyone followed the rules of the game, and the sky above West Third Institute was filled with their laughter.
In a game, there are naturally winners and losers. Little Shiyin'e was the youngest and often broke the rules, so he was the first to lose all the cards in his hand. Naturally, he was unhappy about losing.
"I want to play more!"
"But Yin'e, how can you play if you don't have any cards?" Yin'e said unhappily.
Yin'e looked around, pointed at Yinsi, who had the most pictures, and ordered him arrogantly: "Give me yours!"
The corners of the little Eighth Yinsi's lips were pursed into a line, and his little chubby face was slightly puffed up. He looked a little angry, but also a little afraid.
Before he could react, Yinzuo protected him behind him.
"Yin'e! Why do you want Xiao Ba to give you his pictures? You have to accept the loss, do you know that?"
"My mother is a royal concubine! His mother is just a small noble lady! He should give in to me!" Yin'e didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, so he casually said what the nanny had said to him in private.
Little Eighth Yinsi had droopy eyelids as he stared blankly at the picture in his hand. In fact, his mother had also told him these words, telling him not to offend his other brothers and to be more humble. He had heard these words every day since he was born.
"According to what you said, my mother and Xiaojiu's mother are not as high-ranking as your mother, so shouldn't we all give you the picture card as well? Are you planning to play by yourself?" Yinzuo was so angry that he laughed.
"I... just want his." Yin'e's voice became much softer.
"But you are just robbing me and deliberately bullying Xiao Ba. I don't want to play with people who like to bully others."
Yinsi looked at his sixth brother standing in front of him, his eyes gradually became moist. Finally, there was someone willing to speak for him and protect him. He was obviously also the son of the emperor, so why was he inferior to others since birth?
"I didn't steal it! I just asked him to give it to me!" Yin'e became anxious when he heard that the beautiful and interesting Sixth Brother didn't want to play with him anymore.
"But Xiaoba's things belong to him. If you want them, you can only borrow them from him. How can you ask him to give them to you? He doesn't owe you anything." Yinzuo looked at him seriously and said.
"Then... I'll lend it to you." Yin'e said weakly, knowing that he was in the wrong.
"You didn't call anyone, so who would know who you were borrowing from?" Yinzuo didn't indulge him.
After waiting for a while, Yin'e finally said, "...Myna, can you lend me your picture?"
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoba. Sixth brother is here. If you want to borrow it, you can borrow it. If you don't want to borrow it, it's okay." Yinzuo turned his head and gave a few instructions, then stepped aside so that Yinsi could talk to Yin'e face to face.
Yinsi thought about it and was very happy that his sixth brother was willing to protect him, but he was worried that Yin'e would tell the imperial concubine about this matter later, which would cause trouble for his sixth brother, so he gave half of his painting to the other brother.
“Yes.”
Yin'e took it with a smile.
Yinzuo said unhappily, "When someone lends you something, you should at least say thank you. I hate kids who don't know manners the most!"
Yin'e certainly didn't want his sixth brother to hate him, so he looked at Yinsi opposite him and said thank you vaguely.
The atmosphere became relaxed, and Yinzuo smiled again and said, "That's right! You are all good kids, okay, let's continue playing!"
Yin'er and Yin'e were very happy to be described as "good boy" for the first time. Even their mother had never praised them like this.
Later, the four brothers even ate together.
At first, Yinzuo disliked the bad smell in the house, so he asked Shunfengshunshui to put his meals on the stone table in the yard. He wanted to eat in the yard outside, where he could also look at the flowers and plants outside, which made him feel better.
Later, the other three little ones followed suit and insisted that the palace servants who served them put their meals on the stone table. The four little ones each occupied a stone bench, eating and chatting at the same time. It was very lively.
Two days passed like this, and a group of people came to the South Third Office. Among them was an imperial physician who was very familiar to Yinzuo and often went to Chengqian Palace to treat him.
"We, your humble servants, greet the Sixth Prince, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince."
Yinzuo was the oldest, and he took the initiative to answer: "Everyone, please stand up. Are you here to vaccinate us brothers?"
"To reply to Sixth Prince, that's right."
"Then how did you vaccinate us?" Yinzuo was very curious. He had asked his brother before, but his brother did not explain in detail.
"Sixth Prince will know immediately. Please ask the four princes to return to their rooms. We will vaccinate them immediately."
The other three little rascals looked at Yinzuo with some fear, and regarded him as their backbone.
"Little Eight, Little Nine, and Little Ten, just listen to the doctor and I will come to see you."
The imperial physician opened his mouth and was about to say that you can't leave the room either, but then he felt that it was unnecessary. If it caused the other three princes to cry, it would be bad.
The fourth brother and the younger prince were taken to their own rooms respectively, and Yinzuo was also taken back by Nanny Cheng.
"Doctor Zheng, what are we going to do next?" He took the initiative to ask the doctor next to him who was already familiar to him.
"Please take off your shoes, socks, and outer clothes, and sit on the bed. I will feel your pulse first to make sure you are healthy before we proceed to the next step."
This was not the first time that Doctor Zheng had dealt with the Sixth Prince. He knew that the young prince was very curious and liked to ask strange questions. He would not give up until he got the answers, so he carefully responded to his questions.
Yinzuo was like a well-behaved rag doll, allowing the palace servants to play with him, pick him up, and place him on the edge of the bed. Yinzuo swung his legs leisurely, stretched out his arms, and continued to look at him curiously after Doctor Zheng finished taking his pulse.
Doctor Zheng took out a piece of white cloth from his sleeve, covered his mouth and nose with it, tied a knot behind his head, and took out a small bamboo tube from his medical box. He asked someone to get a small bowl of water, opened the stopper of the small bamboo tube, used a small cotton swab to pick some brown crumbs into the water, and stirred it.
Then he walked towards Yinzuo holding the small bowl with something in it.
"What is this?" Yinzuo asked curiously as he looked at the contents of the small bowl.
"This is the thing for the Sixth Prince to vaccinate. Please lie down and raise your head as much as possible. I will put this thing into your nose later."
Finally, under the instructions of Imperial Physician Zheng, Nanny Cheng held Yinzuo's head to prevent him from moving around, and then one of them held his hands and the other held his feet. Now only Yinzuo's eyes and mouth could move freely.
"You may feel a little uncomfortable, so please be patient for a while, Sixth Prince." Doctor Zheng held the medicine soaked with smallpox scab water in front of him and gave Yinzuo a final instruction.
"No problem, come on." Yinzuo was not afraid.
The feeling of having the cotton swab stuck in the nose was not pleasant, and Yinzuo frowned. However, Doctor Zheng's technique was very gentle and did not cause him too much discomfort. The cotton swab dipped deep into the nose and then withdrew. This action was repeated three times. Doctor Zheng collected the acne scab water, cotton swab and acne scab.
"Is it over?" Yinzuo wrinkled his nose, thinking it was quite simple.
"In reply to Sixth Prince, this is only the first step. You may have a fever and a rash on your body. You must take medicine and observe carefully until you recover. Only then can the vaccination be considered complete."
Doctor Zheng didn't expect it to end so easily. He heard from his colleagues who had vaccinated other princes before that some were kicked by the hot-tempered eldest prince, some were bitten by the third prince, and some were hit with something by the fifth prince.
At this moment, the crying sound coming from next door almost blew the roof off, and Yinzuo's attention was diverted there.
"It seems that Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi are making a fuss. Can I go out and take a look?"
"No, Sixth Prince is not allowed to leave this room until he recovers." Doctor Zheng said with a smile.
Yinzuo lay by the window worriedly, listening attentively to the movements next door, and didn't even notice why Doctor Zheng left.
Fortunately, after half an hour, the noise from next door gradually disappeared.
Although everyone was in the room, loud voices could still be heard. Everyone was shouting out the window and chatting with each other. "Sixth brother" was the most frequently called name. It would not work if Yinzuo did not respond, as the three younger brothers would keep calling.
In the middle of the night, the tenth prince Yin'e was the first to develop a fever, followed by the others. Yinzuo was the last one to develop a fever, but his condition was also the most serious. He was so dizzy from the fever that he could no longer respond to his brothers' calls.
