EBE Chapter 444 Come on, tell me where you went wrong.
Chapter 444 Come on, tell me where you went wrong.
Yinzhuo hadn't originally intended to do anything to Yinzhen, but seeing how nervous he was, he felt a bit like teasing him. He first made a solemn face, then raised his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly, before mimicking the way Kangxi usually spoke to Yinzhen.
"Xiao Shi, do you know your mistake?"
Yinzhuo grew up by Kangxi's side. The father and son spent every day together, and under the influence of what they saw and heard, Yinzhuo's speech and actions already bore some of Kangxi's characteristics. Now, when he wanted to tease Yinzhuo, he deliberately acted in a way that was exactly like Kangxi.
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Sixth Brother, please forgive your younger brother this time, okay?"
Although Yinzhen wasn't blind and clearly knew that the person standing in front of him was his sixth brother, not his father, that didn't stop him from becoming a hero. There's a saying, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease." Although Yinzhen slid to his knees quite quickly, his sixth brother clearly had no intention of letting him off so easily.
"It's good that you know you're wrong. Come on, let me ask you, Xiao Shi, do you know what you did wrong..."
Upon hearing Yinzhuo's words, apart from Yinzhen standing next to him, who felt a sudden jolt in his heart, the onlookers also felt a sense of "I knew it." They thought to themselves, "These trials are difficult to overcome; they won't be so easy to get through."
Where did he go wrong? Yinzhen racked his brains for a long time, coming up with several answers, but all of them were rejected by his sixth brother. Finally, when he was pushed to the limit, he simply shrugged and started acting like a rogue with his sixth brother.
"Sixth Brother, I really can't figure it out. How about this, you give me a hint and tell me exactly what I did wrong. Don't worry, as long as you tell me, I won't argue back."
Look at what you're saying, it's as if I'm being unreasonable. Yinzhuo glanced at Yinxi, who had already given up, raised his hand and poked him on the forehead a few times until Yinxi's forehead was red, before he withdrew his hand.
"Alright, I was just kidding. Why are you taking it so seriously? You just want a bear paw, right? When we get back, I'll go to Khan's and get you a front paw. I've been riding all day, and I'm exhausted. Come on, let's go inside and talk..."
Although Yinzhuo loved to tease his younger brother, he was also very generous with his gifts. As everyone knows, a bear only has four paws, but compared to the hind paws, the front paws are obviously more edible. Although Yinzhuo had just been bullied by his sixth brother for half a day, look at how attentive he is to Yinzhuo now. You can't tell at all that he was bullied.
Yinzhuo and his brothers had been in the forest for six or seven days since they entered. Now that they had caught their prey, they naturally didn't want to suffer in the forest any longer. After the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers returned to camp, they rested briefly and packed up their things to go down the mountain early the next morning.
While on the mountain, because the mountain road was narrow and difficult to navigate, and they had to be wary of the surrounding risks, Yinzhuo was able to keep up his spirits. But once they reached the bottom of the mountain, the road was wide and flat, the surroundings were safe, and once they relaxed, Yinzhuo could no longer hold on. Fortunately, because they had brought a lot of luggage, they had prepared a carriage. Seeing Yinzhuo's listless appearance, Yinti simply had someone prepare the carriage and urged Yinzhuo to go into the carriage to rest.
Yinzhuo was right; he didn't wake up until the carriage stopped at the entrance of the manor. Yinreng called him for a long time, but he just groaned and wouldn't move, so he simply gave up and had someone carry the palanquin over. He then had Akshang and Hatu put Yinzhuo on the palanquin and carried him to his father's Yanbo Zhishuang Palace.
Kangxi had been eagerly anticipating the return of Yinzhuo and the others ever since he received the news. After dinner, he sent Wanquan out early to keep watch, hoping to be the first to know about his sons' return. When he saw Yinzhuo being carried in on a palanquin, he assumed that Yinzhuo had been injured on the mountain and hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Yinti, what happened to Yinzuo? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on him when I left? Where is he injured?"
As the saying goes, there's no harm without comparison. Every single one of the seven people in Yinti's group was Kangxi's son. But look what happened! Kangxi's eyes and heart are now only on his precious son. He doesn't even see them kneeling on the ground. I guess if he hadn't been interrogated, Yinti wouldn't have had the honor of being singled out by his father.
Fortunately, this wasn't the first or second time this had happened. Not to mention Yinti and the others, even Yinreng had long been used to his father's biased behavior. Fearing that Kangxi would get anxious, Yinti quickly replied.
"Father, don't worry. Xiao Liu isn't hurt. He's just tired from being in the forest these past few days. He'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Let alone Yinzhuo, Yinreng, and Yintang, whose physiques were never particularly strong, even Yinti, Yinxi, the thirteenth, and the fourteenth, who spent their days crawling and rolling around in the training grounds and cloth warehouses, and running around in the mountains and forests for so many days, could not hide their exhaustion. Although Kangxi favored Yinzhuo, he was not entirely indifferent to his other sons. Seeing Yinti and the others like this, he woke them up, chatted with them for a few words, and then sent them back to rest.
After Yinti and the others left, only Kangxi and Yinzuo, who was sleeping soundly, remained in the large East Room. Kangxi still had a lot of official business to attend to, so he couldn't just watch Yinzuo sleep. He could only beckon Liang Jiugong, who was standing to the side, and ask him to take some men to carry Yinzuo to the room that had been specially prepared for him to rest.
Yinzhu slept until dusk before opening his eyes. He turned his head and glanced around. Just by looking at the furnishings, he knew that he was in his father's Yanbo Zhishuang Palace. He got up, sat up, bent down to pick up his shoes from the bedside, put them on, stretched his stiff body, and then called out to the outside.
"Wan Quan, send someone to fetch a change of clothes for the master next door and take it to the bathroom in the back. Also, call De Xi over."
After taking a long, refreshing bath, changing his clothes, and drying the tuft of hair on his head, Yinzhuo was helped to wash up by Dexi before he finally left the bathroom and strolled to the West Warm Pavilion to find his father.
"Father, how about we have hot pot tonight? Xiao Jiu and the others hunted a fawn this time, the meat should be quite tender. Also, Father, could you give our son one of those bear paws that were sent back before? I promised Xiao Shi on the mountain that I would ask you for a front paw for him when I got back..."
Emperor Kangxi was always generous to Yinzhuo. Bear paws might be precious to others, but they were nothing special to Kangxi. Since his son had asked for them, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
