Chapter 196 Annoying? That's to be expected.
Annoying? That's right. If you weren't annoyed, wouldn't I really have to serve you hand and foot all the way to the capital? As soon as Yinzhu heard his father's tone, he knew that he was about to be released from prison. So he quickly got up and gave Kangxi a thousand coins.
"Alright, son will go with Eunuch Liang to change clothes. But, Father, let's make this clear: it's not that son can't keep up and gives up halfway; it's that you yourself don't let son continue."
What do you call this? This is a classic case of getting a good deal and then acting innocent. In response to Yinzhuo's smug behavior, his father gave him a resounding flick on the forehead.
"You'd better disappear from my sight before I change my mind, or I can assign you some other work, like cleaning the toilets on this ship..."
Well, this isn't even a question of whether he can handle the job. Yinzhu doesn't even dare to imagine how his reputation would be if his father really did assign him this task on a whim. At the very least, he'd be known as the "Prince of Night Perfume." Oh dear… he can't think about it, he can't think about it, the imagery is just too vivid…
"Stop, Father, your son still needs to eat in a little while. Can you please stop bringing up poop and pee? Alright, your son knows you don't want to see me right now, so I'll disappear from your sight. Eunuch Liang, let's go."
Yinzhuo lived right next to Kangxi, so he didn't need to go back to get a change of clothes. He just sent someone over to call out, and Dexi would eagerly bring the things over. After washing up and dressing, Yinzhuo transformed from a little eunuch in front of the emperor into the Prince Zhao of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, this also meant that his one-day cosplay experience was over.
After Yinzhuo finished tidying up and came out, Liang Jiugong had already led people to set out the meal for him. Yinzhuo didn't stand on ceremony with him, thanked him, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Yinzhuo had been by Kangxi's side since he was a child, and he had been invited to eat countless times. Liang Jiugong knew his tastes very well, so the meal on the table was almost all of Yinzhuo's favorite dishes. Why "almost"? Of course, it was because of the bowl of bitter melon soup in front of him.
In every lifetime, bitter melon was never on Yinzhuo's menu. That's why he didn't even glance at the soup from beginning to end. After devouring it in a whirlwind, the soup was left untouched. How it got there is probably how it will be served later.
"Yinzhuo, drink that soup."
Well, he knew it all along. Liang Jiugong knew exactly what he liked and disliked. Why would he bring him a bowl of bitter melon soup, which he never touched, for no reason? So this was ordered by his father. It seems the netizens were right; the Aisin Gioro family members are all petty. I just did that... Alas, it's too late to regret it.
"Father, can your son not drink this? Look at the color of this soup, it's all green. If I drink it, I'll be poisoned. I won't drink it, I won't drink it, I won't drink it, Father, I don't want to drink it. Eunuch Liang, come here and take this green thing away. I don't want to see it right now."
As Yinzhuo spoke, he pushed the soup bowl aside, looking as if he were holding some deadly poison instead of bitter melon soup. Kangxi watched from the side, shaking his head, thinking to himself, "How old is this child? Why is he still so childish?"
Since Kangxi remained silent, Liang Jiugong naturally dared not comply with Yinzuo's request to take the soup away. Yinzuo glanced at the unmoved Kangxi, then turned to look at Liang Jiugong, who was pretending not to hear him. With a quick thought, he decided that since one plan had failed, he would try another.
"Father, look, your son ate quite a lot just now, and his stomach is bloated. If he drinks this bitter melon soup now, he'll definitely throw up. How about this, son, you can digest what's in your stomach first before drinking it?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi's lips curved into an even wider smile. In truth, it wasn't that he absolutely had to drink the soup. The reason he hadn't responded earlier was simply because he found Yinzhuo's resistance amusing and wanted to tease him to see how he would react. Now that he saw that Yinzhuo was even using delaying tactics, Kangxi naturally decided not to tease him anymore.
"Alright, look at your pathetic self. You're playing delaying tactics with me over a bowl of bitter melon soup. Fine, if you don't want to drink it, then don't. Liang Jiugong, take that soup away from your Sixth Master. If you leave it there, his face will probably turn green with fright."
To Yinzhi, Kangxi's words were like a pardon. As for whether he was promising or not, he didn't care at all. After all, such a prospect of success, which was based on having to drink that green and bitter soup, was better left unacceptable.
When they first arrived, Yinzhu was basically drunk and staggering all the way to his destination, vomiting and slurring his way through a basin. He suffered terribly, let alone enjoyed himself. Now, on the way back, Yinzhu's life was much more comfortable than before. He could eat, sleep, jump, and play, and Kangxi naturally didn't restrict him.
Whenever the imperial boat docked, Yinzhuo would usually take his guards to stroll around the area. He was a man who didn't lack money, and he would buy some of the new gadgets he saw. Along the way, not only in his own room, but also in the rooms of Yinti and Yinzhi, there were quite a few of the random things that Yinzhuo had bought.
"Sixth brother, were you perhaps a spendthrift in your past life? Come on, tell your elder brother, what were you thinking when you bought all this pastry? Did Father Khan need your pastries?"
Of course, Emperor Kangxi wouldn't let Yinzhuo lack pastries, but there's a saying that goes, "like a favorite food, you'll be tempted when you see it." Seeing these beautiful and delicious pastries, he wanted to take them all home. Alas, what could he do? He was just making the mistake that every food lover in the world makes…
“Well… Big brother, look, I bought so much food that I can’t possibly finish it all myself. Grandpa Liang and Dexi are almost sick of it too. How about this, you take some back and try it, as a way of helping me out…”
Not to mention Liang Jiugong and Dexi, they were almost sick of eating it. Even Yinti felt a bit nauseous upon hearing Yinzuo's words. It's nice to try local snacks and specialties occasionally, but who would eat these things as a meal, especially when they change the menu every few days? So, Yinti refused without hesitation.
"Sixth Brother, I suddenly remembered that I haven't gone on patrol today. I won't take these pastries. Why don't you go ask Tenth Brother and the others later..."
