Chapter 27
Hearing that he was actually asked to climb a tree, Kangxi was speechless as he found it difficult to imagine the scene. Now he was both angry and amused by the little one's lively expression.
He stretched out his hand and covered the little guy's forehead, also covering the little guy's lively expression.
"Why should I climb a tree?"
Is there any other reason? Yinzuo tilted his head and emerged from his father's big hand. After thinking for a while, he said, "Climb the tree and pick sweet mulberries."
Kangxi said, "If you want mulberries, I can ask someone to pick them." Kangxi immediately gave orders, "Jing Qing, pick more mulberries. They must be sweet. Sixth Prince likes them."
Kangxi avoided talking about the tree climbing and tried to avoid it. Others would think that it was an offense to the emperor, not to mention letting him climb a tree. Kangxi was actually a little embarrassed and even wanted to beat his son for a moment.
The prime minister had a broad mind, and the emperor was equally broad-minded. Looking at the tiny creature who was not even as tall as his thigh, Kangxi actually spoke kindly to him in the end.
He is too young, don't bother with him.
Kangxi was so moved by his success that he felt that he was a truly tolerant, generous and loving father.
But unfortunately he underestimated the child. Once a child is obsessed with something, the subject cannot be easily changed. Besides, children do not know how to read other people's faces.
"Ama climbs trees, can he? Can he?" The key is not the sweet mulberries, the little guy now wants to know whether his Ama can climb trees. Just now he thought his Ama couldn't climb trees, but his Ama didn't say, and asked why he had to climb trees, the little guy held a little hope again, maybe Ama could?
Kangxi; "..."
Kangxi stared at little Yinzuo, not understanding why his son was still dwelling on this strange question?
Little Yinzuo looked at him without fear.
Kangxi no longer wanted to be a good and magnanimous father, he wanted to beat his one-year-old son.
The big and the small stared at each other in silence. The big one, like a majestic monarch, lowered his eyes and stared, while the small one, innocent and cute, raised his head to get to the bottom of the matter. Everyone stopped and the atmosphere was strange.
Liang Jiugong interrupted in this tense atmosphere and said with a smile: "The emperor never has to cough or climb trees, Sixth Prince. The emperor can make national policies with his literary skills and control the country with his martial arts skills. The emperor has been learning literature and martial arts since he was five years old, and has never stopped studying even in summer and winter. Even now, he has been busy with state affairs, but he has never stopped studying. He is good at writing, managing the country, archery, and swordsmanship. He is a wise and enlightened emperor praised by both the court and the people. No one in the world can compare to him."
Your Majesty is such a wise and powerful king, so please don’t mention such naughty things as climbing trees.
Kangxi was also quite satisfied with Liang Jiugong's words, and he also hoped that his youngest son could learn from his hard work and diligence.
After listening to Liang Jiugong's long speech, Yinzuo thought about it with a vague understanding and came to the conclusion that he still couldn't climb trees.
Yinzuo was a little disappointed.
Yinzuo knew from the attitudes of many people around him that his father was very powerful and his words were always effective, so Kangxi's image in Yinzuo's mind was also extremely tall and seemed omnipotent.
Yinzuo said in a low voice: "Big brother can."
Kangxi: ???
Liang Jiugong said so much, but this brat is still hesitating about whether to climb a tree or not. And the boss can climb a tree? This thing must have been caused by the boss, right?
Kangxi's face didn't look very good.
Moreover, the brat in front of him was too young, and it was not easy to get angry at him, so he took his anger out on the boss.
Seeing that Kangxi was "sad" because he couldn't climb trees, Yinzuo's caring nature finally returned. He realized that he was also sad that his father couldn't climb trees, and that a good son shouldn't always mention his father's sad things.
So the caring son Yinzuo raised his hand and patted his father, comforting him: "Yin won't do it either."
"Accompany Ama."
"Not sad."
Kangxi: “…”
Kangxi was not comforted.
Kangxi really didn't want to see his son today.
But the little guy finally got to see his father, and he obviously wouldn't let him go.
Wherever Kangxi went, his short legs would follow him: "Father, wait, wait, Yin."
Yinzuo was dissatisfied with Kangxi's walking too fast, and grabbed Kangxi's hand without any hesitation. Kangxi raised his hand, looked at the dirty little claws holding him, and frowned. He said to Yinzuo: "Why don't you go wash your hands and face first, look at how dirty your little face is now."
Yinzuo lowered his eyes and tried to look, but he couldn't see how dirty his little face was. However, he could wash it.
But even if he needed to wash his hands and face, little Yinzuo would not let his father go.
"Ama won't leave."
"Ama, wait."
Kangxi said calmly: "You are the only one who is brave."
"I have so many sons, but none of them is as bold and annoying as you."
Kangxi felt quite embarrassed today and thought it was not good that this brat was not afraid of him, so he wanted to scare him a little.
But the little guy didn't feel the emperor's power when he was looked at with such majesty just now. Although the indifferent look now could make all the ministers tremble with fear, in front of this little kid, they were all just winking at blind people.
Yinzuo was not afraid, but he was smart and could vaguely sense his father's attitude. He felt a little sad and said, "Father, don't you want to wait?"
Yinzuo said: "Yin misses Father."
“No.”
"Father, don't you miss Yin and Yinzuo?"
The pair of eyes that had always been lively and bright now dimmed, and the clear pupils looked aggrieved and sad.
After looking at Kangxi for a while, he lowered his little head, like a sad drooping mushroom.
The sudden accusation caught Kangxi off guard. The little kid's clear and sad eyes were imprinted in his mind. Kangxi actually felt sad and uncomfortable in his heart, and he frowned even more than the embarrassment of the tree-climbing incident just now.
Kangxi, the emperor, had experienced everything. He had been attacked by tears, heartbroken, and every word he said was piercing. He had long since developed the cold and hard heart that an emperor should have. But now, he was actually made to feel uncomfortable by a little look and a listless figure from a tiny kid.
The lively and bright aura of the dirty little kid disappeared and turned into depression and sadness. Kangxi frowned, but it was impossible for Kangxi to say that he missed Yinzuo.
He said sternly, "How can a man talk about whether he wants it or not all day long? Isn't that shameful?"
Yinzuo was not ashamed. When he heard his father speaking, he raised his head and actually snorted at Kangxi.
Kangxi: “…”
Is this a little temper?
However, Kangxi was not angry after being snorted at, and he didn't want to lose his temper at this time.
Kangxi lowered his voice and said helplessly, "When did Father say he wouldn't wait for you?" Then he turned to the servants behind him who had not dared to move because of the strange atmosphere between Kangxi and Yinzuo, and said, "What are you still standing here for? Why don't you go get some water?"
In fact, Kangxi was surrendering in disguise. Liang Jiugong was amazed in his heart that the Sixth Prince was really good at dealing with the Emperor.
But Yinzuo didn't understand all this and just stood there with his cheeks puffed out, looking angry.
It was only after Kangxi led him to a small rest area not far away that he felt a little better, but only a little better. Not completely healed.
The little bean sitting next to Kangxi looked even smaller, dirty and angry. Kangxi turned his head and looked at him but couldn't help but smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Water and towels were brought over. Kangxi waved away the palace servants and personally took a towel, dipped it in water, and wiped little Yinzuo's dirty paws.
"Lift your face."
Although little Yinzuo was still unhappy, he moved his little face forward. He had no idea that Kangxi was wiping his face to coax him, and he didn't know what kind of honor it was. He even complained that Kangxi's wiping of his face was not as gentle as his mother's.
The towel covered Yinzuo's eyes. Yinzuo closed his eyes and was rubbed by his father. He frowned, but he didn't say that his father was not qualified to wipe other people's faces. Instead, he looked at his father who was wiping his face sideways and said, "Father doesn't miss Yinzuo."
Kangxi was also troubled by this. At this moment, Kangxi felt that it was better to stay away from children when they were young, as they were too difficult to deal with.
Kangxi threw the towel into the basin without looking at Yinzuo: "Isn't it okay for me to miss you?" He said it so reluctantly and perfunctorily.
Kangxi thought that he didn't want this brat to cry and make a fuss. As an emperor, what can't he do? It's not difficult to say a few words to comfort him.
But little Yinzuo finally stopped being angry. The child's expression changed instantly. Not only was he no longer angry, he even smiled again. "Father misses Yinzuo~"
Kangxi's heart was also relieved. He helplessly taught Yinzuo a lesson: "Don't always talk about what you think. Who would do that? Besides, even if someone said it, how do you know it's true?"
When Kangxi said this, his eyes deepened. People at the center of power know best that words spoken are the least trustworthy.
However, Yinzuo could not understand Kangxi's words with profound meaning.
What Yinzuo said was what he thought in his heart.
Kangxi himself did not want to hear Yinzuo's answer. Now that his hands and face were washed, he stood up.
And of course Yinzuo had to follow Kangxi.
However, Kangxi had finished his walk and was about to go back to work.
But Yinzuo still wanted to follow.
Perhaps because he had upset Yinzuo today, Kangxi followed him. Yinzuo said confidently, "Good boy Yinzuo!"
"Brother, brother, Yin, don't make trouble, be good, we all like Yin!"
Kangxi knew that this kid had been to the Prince's Residence and the Eastern Palace, but when he heard Yinzuo say that the eldest and second eldest brothers liked him, he laughed and thought to himself, what a shameless rascal.
After walking for a while, Kangxi was pulled again. Kangxi lowered his head and asked, "What happened again?"
Yinzuo: “Tired.”
"hug."
Kangxi: "Let them hold you."
The servants who were walking at the back and were serving Yinzuo came forward at this moment, but Yinzuo stretched out his arms and hugged Kangxi's thighs: "I want my father to hug me."
Kangxi: "...It doesn't matter who holds you?"
Yinzuo: "I want my father to hold me."
"Ama never hugged me."
Not only has your royal father never held you in his arms, but no one else has ever held you in his arms except your brother the crown prince.
Kangxi: "Who said he was a good boy just now?"
But Yinzuo raised his little head and taught his father: "Father, you must be a good father."
"To make Yin happy."
She puffed out her chest and said, "Yin is a good brother."
Kangxi twitched his lips. Were his other sons like this when they were young? Children are so difficult to deal with.
Kangxi asked, "Is it because I hold you that I am a good father?"
Yinzuo also nodded; "Yin is happy."
"Be a good father." He then let go of his hand and opened his arms waiting for his father to hug him.
Kangxi: “…”
I don't know how many times this kid has left me speechless today.
Yinzuo now feels that his father is not that tall anymore. It’s okay that he can’t climb trees, and Yinzuo understands that for him. The person wiping his father’s face is also uncomfortable, and Yinzuo understands that for him. But Yinzuo won’t hold him even if he is tired!
His father is not as good as his brother! Although, although he threw his younger brother down when he hugged him, his younger brother has forgiven him. He should be considered a good brother. He plays with his younger brother and feeds him.
The little guy looked up at him. Kangxi lowered his head and stared at him for a while, then slowly bent down and stretched out his hand. He really didn't want to provoke this troublesome kid again today. If he provoked him, he would have to coax him.
Kangxi hugged the person as if he was hugging a big vase, which did not feel comfortable at all.
But the little guy didn't blame his father at all because he remembered that he had fallen down while hugging his younger brother.
However, he stayed in Kangxi's arms for a while and said, "Big brother, it's comfortable to hold you."
Kangxi: “…”
What happened to this brat today? He was no longer the soft, sweet, caring, well-behaved and good-tempered little dumpling that Kangxi remembered.
Besides, why is he the boss again?
