"Sixth brother! Sixth brother!"
After sitting for a while, two calls came from outside at the same time.
"Xiaojiu? Xiaoshi? Why are they here?" Yinzuo was still wondering, and just as he finished his words, two familiar faces appeared in front of him running.
"Sixth brother! I knew you were here with Concubine De!"
"It snowed heavily last night. Let's go out and have a snowball fight!"
Yin'er and Yin'e each pulled Yinzuo and were about to run out. Little Fourteen, who was pushed aside by the two of them, had two little flames in his eyes.
"Brother! Mine!" Although the little guy is not very old, his voice is loud and everyone can hear his roar clearly.
Yao Hua, who was sitting next to her, remained silent at this time. She moved to the corner and took Xiao Shisan, who was sitting next to her, to the side.
"What do you mean by yours? Sixth Brother is also our brother, don't take advantage of your young age to talk nonsense!"
Yin'e was spoiled to the point of being lawless, and in his mind, there was no such thing as humility.
"Mine! Mine!"
Little Fourteen was also a rogue, and was spoiled by his older brothers and sisters, as well as by Concubine De and Emperor Kangxi, which made him develop a domineering personality.
"Who can't do it just by saying it? If you have the guts, come and grab it yourself!"
Yinzhen was fanning the flames and continued to provoke Little Fourteen together with Yin'e.
Little Fourteen was well-bred and was fatter than other children. He was a real chubby boy. He pounced on the two bad guys who were trying to snatch his brother from him, and picked out the thinner one, Yinzhen, and pinned him under him.
"Fight. Get. Up!"
Little Thirteen had never seen such a chaotic scene before. He was extremely anxious and rushed forward to help Little Fourteen without thinking.
But he was stopped by Yaohua who was standing by.
"Don't go! Little Fourteen is very capable, don't worry!"
After casually comforting Xiao Shisan, Yaohua continued to watch from the sidelines.
"Yin'e, save me quickly! This little fat guy is going to crush me to death, he is too heavy!" Yin'e struggled helplessly with his limbs like a turtle that could not turn over.
Yin'e had no choice but to let go of Yinzuo and immediately went forward to aid his good brother, helping to pull the little fat boy off Yin'er's body.
"Brother Jiu, I'm here to save you! Are you okay?"
Yin'e turned his head and asked a few questions, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand.
"Ah! You actually bit me!"
Yin'e tried hard to shake off Xiao Shisi who was biting the back of his hand, but he didn't dare to use too much strength for fear that he would bite him harder. In the end, he just cried in pain.
"Ah! It hurts so much! Mommy! Mommy! I want Mommy! Wow!"
Defei, who was cooking for her child in the small kitchen, heard the tragic crying and hurried over without even having time to wash her hands.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, even Yinzhen didn't have time to react and stop them in time. Finally, when he saw that the situation was not good, he and Yinzuo looked at each other and separated them.
When Concubine De came in, she saw the fourth son Yinzhen holding one child in each hand, namely the ninth son Yin'er and the tenth son Yin'e, while the sixth son was holding the fourteenth son. It seemed that the conflict was caused by the three younger ones.
"What's going on? Yin'e, why are you crying?"
Although Defei was worried about her own son, the Fourteenth Prince, she was now in Yonghe Palace, and the one crying was the Tenth Prince Yin'e, born to the Imperial Concubine. It was only logical that she could only care about Yin'e first.
"Little Fourteen bit me! I want my mother! I want to go home! Wow!" Yin'e continued to cry at the top of his lungs.
"Did it bite you? Oh no! It's all Little Fourteen's fault. He's been teething lately and he feels a little itchy and likes to bite things. Let me take a look. Where is it hurt? Is it bleeding?"
Defei quickly stepped forward, supported Yin'e, patted his back gently, and tried her best to calm the child's emotions.
"He bit the back of my hand and it hurts so much!" Yin'e held up the bitten area in front of Concubine De and complained angrily.
As expected, Concubine De saw a tooth mark on it, but fortunately there was no bleeding and no skin broken. The mark was indeed very deep, so it must have hurt. However, Yin'e cried so miserably, so he must have been scared.
"Can I wash you first and apply some medicine on you? This way it won't hurt." Defei's tone was very gentle.
Yin'e nodded while crying, which meant he agreed.
Defei pulled the person aside to deal with the application of medicine, and Yinzuo looked at the fourteenth child in his arms angrily.
"How could you bite someone? You are not a good boy! Look at you, you made Yin'e cry. Do you know you are wrong? You should apologize to him! If you were not my brother, I would help Yin'e teach you a lesson!"
Little Fourteen knew that “teach him a lesson” meant “beat him”. When he heard that his beloved brother was going to help outsiders beat him, he felt so aggrieved that he burst into tears.
"Brother, you are bad! Wow! Mother!"
Yinzuo was frightened by his action and didn't know what to do for a moment. On the other hand, Yinlu, who was being pulled by the fourth brother Yinzhen, was extremely angry.
"Fourth brother, let me go! This little fat boy is really too much. He was the one who bit Yin'e, but he still cried, as if Yin'e and I bullied him! It's so infuriating!"
Yinzhen held him tightly, frowning. Although he thought that Fourteenth Prince should be taught a lesson, if he let Yinzhen go at this time, things might get even worse.
Yinzhen was being pulled by him and couldn't move forward or do anything, so he pointed at Little Fourteen and cursed at him.
"You crybaby! You love to bite people, you are still a puppy! An annoying puppy! No one likes you, and Sixth Brother hates you too! You are such a nuisance!"
Little Fourteen became even angrier as he was scolded by him. Seeing that his Sixth Brother did not come to hug him even when he cried, and his Mother did not come to comfort him either, he felt that he was abandoned by everyone. He felt even more sad and began to roll around on the couch, throwing a tantrum and crying loudly.
Little Thirteen, who was standing by, was frightened and started crying too.
“Do you think you’re the only one who can cry? Isn’t it just making your voice louder? Ah——” Yinzhen also shouted at the top of his voice, trying to drown out the crying of others.
The cries and shouts from the Yonghe Palace were one after another, louder than the last, and they were about to tear the roof apart. In addition, it was New Year's Day, and there were many palace maids and eunuchs walking to and fro outside the palace gate. The news of today's farce soon spread to all six palaces in the east and west.
As the biological mothers of Yin'er and Yin'e, the Imperial Noble Concubine and Concubine Yi naturally rushed over as soon as they heard about it. As the head of the six palaces, it was natural for the Imperial Noble Concubine to go and take a look as well.
"De Fei! What on earth is going on? Your son bit my tenth prince. If you don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will not let it go today!"
As soon as the imperial concubine arrived at Yonghe Palace, she checked her son's whole body and immediately found the teeth marks on the back of his hand. After a brief question, she learned that the culprit was the Fourteenth Young Master, and she immediately attacked the Defei.
"I, your concubine, apologize to the Tenth Prince and the Imperial Concubine on behalf of the Fourteenth Little Prince." No matter what, it was the Fourteenth Little Prince who bit someone, so Concubine De could only admit it.
Aunt Qing was worried that the Imperial Concubine would use this as an opportunity to attack her own queen, so she knelt down and explained, "Please forgive me, the princes were playing together, and somehow, you pushed me and I pulled you, and Fourteenth Prince's baby teeth were itching recently, so I guess in the chaos, I accidentally sucked the back of Tenth Prince's hand and hurt him, but the back of Tenth Prince's hand was not even broken, please understand, Imperial Concubine."
"Oh! Great, you must make my Tenth Prince bleed, right? Concubine De really has a good servant who knows how to twist and turn right and wrong! Then why not hand over the Fourteenth Prince and let the Tenth Prince 'suck' him, too? How about that?"
At this time, the Imperial Noble Consort, who was sitting at the top holding Yinzuo's hand, spoke.
"My Lady, the Fourteenth Prince is still young, not even one year old. If anything happens to him, who will bear the consequences?"
"The Imperial Concubine has always been on good terms with Concubine De, so she naturally favors her in everything! It was the Fourteenth Prince who bit the Tenth Prince first, so can she be let off so easily? Princes who break the law are punished the same as common people, the Imperial Concubine is not fair in her handling of the matter!"
"Since you are dissatisfied, let the emperor make the decision himself."
Finally, the matter came to the Qianqing Palace, and Kangxi was summoned.
Kangxi questioned everyone present one by one and finally learned the whole story. He was really troubled. As the ancients said: It is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs. It is true.
"Your Majesty! You have to take charge of the matter for the Tenth Prince!" The imperial concubine clamored for severe punishment of the culprit.
"Your Majesty! The Fourteenth Prince is still young. I am willing to sacrifice myself in his place." Defei had tears in her eyes, and her protective attitude was obvious.
"Father, my son is in pain! It hurts!" The tenth prince Yin'e continued to cry.
"Emperor Father, hug me! Wuuuu!" When Little Fourteen saw that the Emperor Father, who loved him the most, was crying and acting coquettishly, it was obvious that he was very close to Kangxi.
"It's just children fighting, how did it get to this point? If it gets out of the palace, wouldn't it be laughed at by civil and military officials and common people? It's simply nonsense!" Kangxi's ears were about to be deafened by their noise, he slammed the table and scolded everyone.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Please calm down, Father Huang."
Everyone knelt down and fell silent, not daring to speak anymore.
"Xiao Shi, you feel wronged because you lost weight. Tell me yourself, how do you want me to deal with you?"
The imperial concubine was about to open her mouth, but was glared at by Kangxi's dark eyes and dared not make a sound.
"Father Emperor, I want Sixth Brother to play with me!" Yin'e had come here today just for this matter, and he had always remembered it.
Little Fourteen looked at him unconvinced, wishing he could pounce on him and bite him again.
"Since the victim himself said so, Yinzuo!" Kangxi shouted.
Yinzuo stood up and said, "Father, your son is here."
"Would you like to?"
Yinzuo glanced at Xiaoshi who was looking at him eagerly, and his heart was filled with guilt. He nodded, looked into the eyes of the emperor, and answered solemnly: "My son is willing!"
Firstly, he wanted to compensate and comfort Xiao Shi, and secondly, he wanted to apologize to Xiao Shi on behalf of Xiao Shisi. Xiao Shisi was indeed wrong in this matter, and as Xiao Shisi's biological brother and the cause of the dispute, he should do so.
"If that's the case, then let's do it this way. Everyone, go back to the palace!"
"Your Majesty, I have something else to say." The Imperial Concubine took the initiative to step forward.
"You say." Kangxi picked up the teacup at hand and lightly skimmed the foam on the surface of the tea.
"It's about the sacrifice to the Grand Empress Dowager. Naturally, I will arrange this myself, but I am really too busy to do it. For the New Year's Eve family banquet, I think it would be better to let the Imperial Concubine and the Four Concubines take care of it together. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Just as the Imperial Concubine said."
"Your Majesty obeys your order. If that's the case, why not let the princes and princesses go to Ciren Palace to accompany the Queen Mother for a while? The Queen Mother loves these grandchildren the most. She hasn't been feeling well recently. With the princes and princesses around, it will be lively and lively. Wouldn't that make her happier?"
The Imperial Noble Consort did this simply because she didn't want Yinzuo to have to go to Yongshou Palace in order to accompany Yin'e in compliance with the imperial order. By then, the Imperial Noble Consort might vent her anger towards the Fourteenth Young Master on Yinzuo, making Yinzuo suffer for the Fourteenth Young Master in vain.
"The Queen Mother has been depressed and sad since the death of the Grand Empress Dowager. I will let the children accompany her on my behalf."
Although the Empress Dowager was not Kangxi's biological mother, she was from the same Borjigit clan as the Grand Empress Dowager. Over the years, she had always been very filial to the Grand Empress Dowager and helped raise the Fifth Prince Yinqi and Yaohua. Kangxi respected her from the bottom of his heart.
The younger ones who were still unable to walk steadily were naturally left in their respective palaces. As for the older princes and princesses, they were all sent to Ciren Palace. Yinzuo's left and right were openly occupied by Yin'er and Yin'e.
