Chapter 144 Don't ask, the answer is simply that you were born into a good family.
As the saying goes, if a son is not talented, the father bows his head; if a father is incompetent, the son suffers. Kangxi was certainly not an incompetent father. After sending his sons away, he ordered Liang Jiugong to bring Suerfa over. He gave him a severe scolding and was still not satisfied. Finally, he issued an edict to demote Suerfa from a prince to a duke.
So how is Yinzhuo, who was sent back to Shufengxuan by Kangxi, doing now? Of course, he is still the same as before. Over the years, Yinzhuo has come to understand that the rolling wheels of history are not something a small mantis like him can stop. The secret to maintaining happiness is to never suffer from mental exhaustion.
When it comes to avoiding internal strife, it's clear that someone understands this principle better than Yinzhuo. On the way back to Shufeng Pavilion, Yinzhuo was still cursing and grumbling, his heart filled with resentment. But once they arrived at Shufeng Pavilion and had a meal and drinks, he immediately acted as if nothing had happened. While Yintang and Yinzhuo were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting, he simply had a reclining chair brought over, lay down on it, and soon began snoring loudly.
"I really envy Lao Shi's sleep quality. Look at how upset he was just now. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. But look at him, he fell asleep in such a short time. Sixth Brother, how do you think he does it?"
Yinzhuo turned his head and glanced at Yinxi, who was already snoring beside him. He was also at a loss for words. He raised his hand and beckoned Dexi to go inside and bring a thin blanket. He got up and walked over, gently unfolding the blanket and draping it over Yinxi.
"Don't ask, the answer is that being born into a good family is a blessing."
At first, Yinzhen didn't understand what his sixth brother meant by those words. But after repeating them to himself several times, he suddenly realized.
"Sixth Brother, you always say I have a sharp tongue, but now it seems we're just as bad as each other."
Haha, who's going to compare with you? I was just joking, yours was pure sarcasm. How can we be the same? Besides, I can talk to people in a human voice and to ghosts in a ghost voice, can you? You talk to everyone in a ghost voice...
"Yin Tang, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. Let me give you one more piece of advice: be smart and shut up now and drink your tea, or else..."
Yinzhuo's unfinished words carried a strong sense of threat. Yintang, who had been disciplined by his sixth brother since childhood, could easily understand this. So he quickly shut up, obediently picked up his teacup, drank his tea, and enjoyed the scenery.
The news that Suerfa had been demoted by His Majesty for offending Prince Zhao spread before nightfall, and Yinzhuo's troublesome brothers, after learning the whole story, came to Shufeng Pavilion to watch him make a scene.
"You know what, you really have to admit, even though Suerfa was drunk, his taste was still pretty good. Just look at our little sixth son's face, not to mention Suerfa, even I would want to..."
Seeing that Yinzhi's devilish hand was about to touch his face, Yinzuo quickly raised his hand to block it, and then glared at him in annoyance!
"Third Brother, what do you want? Do you want to try flirting with me like that Suerfa did? Have you forgotten that he's now the Duke of Zhenguo? If you think your title of Prince is too high, your brother isn't so incapable of giving you that opportunity. Come on, Your Highness... I've been waiting for you to flirt with me for so long..."
Yinti, Yinreng, and the others were just there to watch the fun. Whether the fun was for Yinzuo or Yinzhi didn't really matter to them. At this moment, Yinzuo, in a high-pitched voice and with his fingers in a delicate, affected manner, flirted with Yinzhi. This scene immediately made everyone burst into laughter.
Yin Zhi came today to watch Yin Zuo have a good time, but unexpectedly ended up providing entertainment for them. Seeing that Yin Zuo's skin was as thick as a city wall and impervious to swords and spears, Yin Zhi had no choice but to turn his anger towards others!
"Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother... I say, aren't you all being really unfair? Didn't we agree to come and make fun of Xiao Liu? How come you've all turned against me and are now laughing at me?"
Yinzhi's scheme to drag everyone down with him clearly failed. Everyone was either looking up at the sky or drinking tea. Nobody chimed in, saying, "Who said we agreed? Did they come to see Sixth Brother (Sixth Brother) have fun?" No way, they clearly came to drink tea. Hmm, this tea is really good.
Seeing that Yinzhi and the others were so angry that they pointed at them from a distance for a long time, Yinzhi opened and closed his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a single word. In the end, he could only return to his previous seat in a huff, pick up his teacup and drink the tea in one gulp.
"Well, it seems I've only managed to amuse you guys instead of watching the show today. But to be honest, Yinzhu's affected manner just now really disgusted me. However, considering that you sent me a painting of auspicious cranes a few days ago, I won't hold it against you today. Here, Dexi, pour me some more tea."
Yinzhu didn't care whether his third brother was disgusted by his actions just now. Anyway, he was happy at the moment. After the commotion just now, the anger that had been stuck in his chest all day seemed to have been relieved a lot.
As July approached, the weather grew increasingly hot. Yinzhuo, too lazy to go out, simply told Kangxi that he wouldn't be going to Qingxi Study much anymore. However, his father's diligence was unstoppable. Before Yinzhuo could enjoy his comfortable days for more than a few days, he received an imperial edict to accompany the emperor on his eastern tour in the middle of the month.
During this eastern tour, Emperor Kangxi not only brought his wife and children, but also his Empress Dowager. He planned to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the northern frontier, so that the Empress Dowager, who had not returned to the grasslands for more than forty years, could also visit her hometown of Khorchin.
Leaving aside how happy the Empress Dowager was to be able to return to her homeland on the grasslands, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes were incredibly excited after learning that they were also on the travel list. They packed their luggage early and would come over every few days to pester Yinzhuo to tell them about their experiences on the grasslands.
If we were to pinpoint the most memorable part of Yinzhuo's previous trips to the grasslands, besides the beautiful scenery, it would undoubtedly be the thrilling hunt. Thus, the Aisin Gioro Tiger-Slaying Hero, Yinzhuo, was back in action.
"Speaking of which, the fiery red sun had just risen over the mountains when I led your seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers into the forest... Back then, the tiger was only about the distance from here to the gate. I was incredibly calm. I just grabbed my bow and arrow from my horse, nocked it, and shot it. I was just staring at that ball... no, I was staring at that arrow..."
