Chapter 433 My worries are all about you.
Although Fourteenth Brother intended to remain a liar to the end, he didn't dare to actually challenge his Sixth Brother's authority, since trying might mean his death.
Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince quickly got up from the ground, Yinzhuo's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, finally improved a little. Still not satisfied, he reached out and twisted the Fourteenth Prince's ear three times on the left and three times on the right until it was bright red. Only then did Yinzhuo let out a heavy sigh of relief and slump into the chair.
"Big brother, what kind of life do I have? Not only do I have a brother who loves to watch the drama unfold, but I also have a younger brother who causes me so much trouble. Mother, can't you just put them both back in my belly and re-enact them before giving birth? This is just too much for me..."
Leaving aside Yinzhen, who was far away in the capital, and how much Consort De was sneezing, the Fourteenth Prince, upon hearing Yinzuo's words, was barely able to contain his inner complaints.
If anyone in the world, even someone like his sixth brother, dares to say he has bad luck, then who in the world would dare to say they have good luck? His father spoils his sixth brother so much that he doesn't even give him the stars or the moon.
But as the saying goes, one should never try to be clever when one should be silent. Of course, the facts proved how wise Fourteenth Prince's choice was. After all, Fourteenth Prince was Yinzuo's own younger brother. Since he had already been beaten and scolded, Yinzuo naturally had to clean up his mess.
Yinzhuo's way of cleaning up the mess that the Fourteenth Prince had made was also very simple and brutal. He took Yinzhi's letter, dragged the Fourteenth Prince by the ear, and went to the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace next door to find his father. Yinzhuo never liked to beat around the bush in front of Kangxi. When he entered the room and saw his father, he got straight to the point.
“Father, your son has come here today because he has a small favor to ask of you. You see, Third Brother’s conjunctivitis has flared up again, which is why he wrote to me to explain himself.”
Yinzhuo's western quarters and Kangxi's western warm pavilion were only a few steps apart. With such a commotion over there, Kangxi must have heard a thing. He took Yinzhi's letter from Yinzhuo's hand, quickly read it through, and then slammed the papers on the table in annoyance.
"I used to think that the fourth prince was steady and reliable, but now it seems he's just as unreliable. He's always looking for trouble, knowing full well that your third brother is a jealous person, yet he still had to reveal the fourteenth prince's letter to him. And you, fourteenth prince, you troublesome thing, aren't you just asking for trouble? Now look what's happened, your third brother's jealousy has boiled over, what do you suggest we do? Should we give him your lion garden?"
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, the Fourteenth Prince's face immediately contorted with pain. If his father hadn't been sitting right in front of him, he would have slapped himself a few times. His father was absolutely right; he shouldn't have written that letter to his fourth brother to boast. Now, the duck that was practically in his mouth was about to fly away.
There's a saying that goes, "Children are all debts." If a son causes trouble, Kangxi, as a father, has to pay the price. Fortunately, he had plenty of gardens like the Lion Garden. With a wave of his hand, he injured all the adult princes. As for Yinzhen, given that he had caused him to lose several gardens, he could forget about the Chengde Mountain Resort. However, he could choose a small garden in the capital. So, after all this back and forth, the prototype of the future "Garden of Gardens"—the Yuanmingyuan—still ended up in Yinzhen's hands.
Given the Fourteenth Prince's extraordinary ability to cause trouble, in order to prevent him from causing any more trouble in the coming period, Yinzhuo simply handed him over to Yinxi. Yinxi was straightforward, rough but meticulous, and had always been close to Yinzhuo, so Yinzhuo felt at ease entrusting the Fourteenth Prince to him.
Even if no one is watching him, Fourteenth Prince shouldn't cause any trouble for a while, because our Fourteenth Prince is currently very busy.
You ask him what he's been busy with? Well, nothing much. Our Fourteenth Prince has recently become obsessed with personally arranging his almost-flying duck—the Lion Garden—and he hasn't been seen for five or six days now, including today.
"As the saying goes, something fishy must be going on. I don't believe that kid Fourteen can be so honest. Little Ten, take some time today and go to Fourteen's garden to see what he's been messing around with these days."
Yinzhen always took his sixth brother's instructions to heart. After leaving Cong Yinzhuo's place, he gathered his men and rode towards the Lion Garden of the Fourteenth Prince. As the saying goes, you don't know until you see it, and once you see it, you won't hear a word. The once beautiful Lion Garden has been turned into a mess by that brat of the Fourteenth Prince in just a few days, with holes here and there.
Even its master, the culprit, didn't think anything of it. When he saw Yinzhen arrive with his men, he immediately went up to him and led his tenth brother to admire his great masterpiece.
"Tenth Brother, you're here. Perfect timing! Give your younger brother some advice. What do you think about having this artificial hill moved and a fountain built here? I'm also planning to have those trees over there cut down. That way, it'll connect with that area in front. I've already thought of what to do with it. We'll turn it into a drill ground..."
Seeing that the vast Chinese garden had been almost completely destroyed by the Fourteenth Prince in just a few days, Yinzhen felt extremely fortunate. He was glad that he had come to check on it today; otherwise, if he had been allowed to continue his haphazard behavior, the garden would probably have been ruined.
"Fourteenth Brother, listen to your tenth brother's advice. Tomorrow, have someone come and restore all these pits and holes to their original state. Although Father Khan bestowed this garden upon you and allowed you to decorate it as you wish, such drastic alterations are probably not acceptable. Even putting Father Khan aside, do you really think these changes are reasonable? Let's just say, what kind of good person would build a drill ground right in front of their house? Also, look around, is there any water here? What will your fountain spray when you build it? Something earthy?"
Yin's cold water was poured on the Fourteenth Prince, whose fiery passion was instantly chilled to the bone. Well, it seems he had underestimated the situation. It seems that professional matters should be left to professionals.
The Fourteenth Prince's antics gave Yinzhu a headache, and his current subdued state also gave Yinzhu a headache. As I said, if you want to sigh and lament, can't you go back to your own place and sigh? It's really painful to see you like this.
"Sixth Brother, it's one thing for me to feel annoyed and sigh, but you don't seem to have anything bothering you, so why are you sighing?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhuo looked up at the fourteenth brother, who was frowning and staring at him, and sighed deeply with helplessness. "Alas, my dear brother, you are my biggest worry."
