Chapter 500 So this is another competition to win over the father?
There's a folk saying: "Little child, little child, don't be greedy, after the Laba Festival, it's almost New Year." Once the Laba Festival is over, the busy days begin. Although Emperor Kangxi and others are not in the palace this year, the New Year's customs are still observed. Fortunately, all four consorts are present, so Yinzhuo doesn't need to worry about anything.
Ever since Yinzhuo's drunken outburst last time, even now, Yinti still looks at him with disdain every time they meet. Actually, it's not entirely Yinti's fault for acting this way, after all, Kangxi's words were a bit infuriating. How can we ignore the facts?
"No, bro, I was just curious and asked what I did to offend you. We haven't seen each other for several days, and as soon as we met, you snorted at me three times..."
Upon hearing this, Yinti finally gave Yinzuo a proper look. He raised his eyes to look at Yinzuo standing in front of him, slapped down the finger that was waving in front of him, and gave him a fourth humph.
To be honest, every single one of Yinzhuo's brothers was a troublemaker. They not only didn't comfort Yinzhuo when he was frustrated by Yinti, but they even added insult to injury.
"Little Six, come here. Didn't you want to know why your eldest brother looks at you like you have eyes and a nose that aren't eyes or a nose? Come on, your third brother will tell you. Speaking of which, it all comes down to what happened after you got drunk that day. Let's be companions in this mortal world, living freely and unrestrained... What, does this song sound familiar?"
There's a saying, isn't there? Getting drunk isn't scary; what's scary is having someone else recall what you were like when you were drunk. Yinzhuo knew it all too well, but even if he sang his way back, his elder brother shouldn't have acted like that, right? Something else must have happened afterward.
Just as Yinzhuo had predicted, Yinzhi had barely finished speaking when Yinqi immediately followed up.
"Third Brother, can't you get to the point? Is Eldest Brother such a petty person? He watched Sixth Brother grow up. It's just a song. He won't take it to heart. I think what really made Eldest Brother so angry was what Father said. What does it mean to ignore the facts? Do you think he can ignore the facts?"
It has to be said that Yinqi knows how to grasp the key points. As soon as he said that, Yinti reacted. Yinzuo, who received another snort, understood perfectly well that this was another competition to see who would become his father.
Now that he knew the reason, Yinzhuo no longer had any guilty look on his face. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Whoever owes the debt should make amends. This trouble was caused by his father, and he, Prince Zhao, would never take the blame for him.
"I knew it! I'm so lovable, everyone loves me, how could I possibly offend anyone? Brother, you're being a bit unreasonable. My father offended you, why are you picking on me? What, is it now a matter of guilt by association? Let me tell you, I'm not taking the blame for him..."
Let's not even talk about the possibility of being implicated. Let's just say you want to hear what you've said. What do you mean I'm being unreasonable? Does your father, who ignores the facts, think he's reasonable?
After all, they were brothers who had been together for so many years. Although Yinti didn't say anything, Yinzuo could still tell what he wanted to say from his angry but unspeakable eyes. Well, it seems that he is going to take the blame today. After all, no matter what, he really has something to do with this.
Yinzhuo may not have any other skills, but when it comes to scheming and manipulating people, even if Yinti and the others were put together, they might not be able to surpass Yinzhuo. Since the matter started because of him, it should naturally be resolved with him.
"Fifth Brother was absolutely right. How can we ignore this fact? Eldest Brother, don't be angry. Come on, let's go find Father Khan and reason with him. I heard that your Lightning is getting old and he's looking for a new mount. Isn't this a perfect coincidence? A new batch of horses has just been presented to us from Mongolia. Let's go ask for a favor..."
Just as modern men are fond of luxury cars, Yinti was clearly very interested in the batch of horses that Yinzuo mentioned. But as the saying goes, he wasn't Yinzuo, so how could he dare to openly make such a request to Emperor Kangxi?
Yinzhi was well aware of Yinti's concerns. Seeing Yinti's obvious interest but hesitation, Yinzhi thumped his chest and said, "Brother, I'll take care of it."
The distance from Yinzhuo's courtyard to Kangxi's place was very short, and Yinzhuo was always a man of bold ideas and decisive actions. Since he had already boasted about it, he got up and left without any hesitation.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fifth brother...please sit here for a while, I'll be right back..."
There's a saying, isn't there? Only those who are favored dare to act recklessly. Yinzhuo was far from being polite to his father; the father went straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.
“Father, I heard that a new batch of fine horses has been presented to us from Mongolia. When we get back, could you let our son pick out a few? He angered my elder brother the other day, and we're counting on these horses to appease him.”
Although Emperor Kangxi did not know how Yinzhuo had angered Yinti, he had always been generous to his son. It was just a matter of wanting a few horses; it was not a big deal. He would just give them to him.
"Alright, I approve of this. Once we return to the capital, I'll have someone take your elder brother to the horse farm. He can also pick out a horse for you. Your Swift Wind isn't young anymore, is it..."
Yinti and the others are still sitting in Yinzuo's courtyard. Now that the matter has been settled, they don't linger at all and leave as soon as they get up.
"Father, my eldest and second brothers are still waiting for me, so I'll have to go now. I'll come back later to have dinner with you..."
Seeing Yinzhuo dart to the door as soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi could only sigh helplessly. What could he do with such a son? Scolding him was useless, and he couldn't bear to beat him. Sigh, let him be.
Yinti and Yinreng were clearly surprised that Yinzuo would return so quickly. They didn't even need to ask; just by looking at the smug expression on his face, they knew that the matter had been settled.
Judging by the time, it only took about fifteen minutes from when Yinzhu left to when he returned. Subtracting the time spent on the way, he was able to say a word to his father. No, are their fathers really that easy to talk to now?
"Big brother, Father Khan has agreed. Once we return to the capital, he'll have someone take us to the horse farm. Second brother, third brother, fifth brother... do you want to come along?"
Upon hearing this, Yinreng, Yinzhi, and the others exchanged glances, then looked in unison at Yinzuo, who had just sat down. No, are we saying that this is a place we can go whenever we want?
"No, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fifth Brother, why are you all looking at me like that? If you want to go, just go. Anyway, Father has already promised to give me a few horses. As for the specific number, I haven't made any demands on him..."
