Chapter 370 I truly believe I am a genius
It must be said that there is no harm without comparison. Compared to the crooked and unrecognizable snowman that Yinti and the others built, the large panda that Yinzuo built looked much more presentable.
To make his snowman look more realistic, Yinzhuo not only had two panda-like black eye circles and ribbons cut off, but he also went to Qingxi Study and found two black pearls and a piece of black jade pendant in his father's study to make eyes and a nose for his panda snowman. You have to admit, with this decoration, the originally ordinary snowman suddenly seemed to become more sophisticated.
"Little Six, if I remember correctly, those black pearls were something Bai Jin somehow acquired and presented to the Khan, right? They're said to be extremely precious. And you just used them as eyes for your snowman like that? What if the Khan finds out..."
Compared to Yinqi's cautious and relatively tactful reminder, Yinzhen's words were much more direct.
"Sixth brother, listen to your fourth brother's advice. You'd better take this pearl off your snowman now and give it back to Father Khan. Otherwise, if Father Khan finds out any later, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble."
What does it mean to be fearless when favored? Now, everyone, look at the person opposite the snowman. Yinzhen and Yinqi's well-intentioned reminder went in one ear and out the other. The other person was concentrating on tidying up the details of the snowman with a small shovel. The meaning was very clear: it's okay, I'm not afraid.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, don't worry. They're just two black pearls. They're more precious than mine. Even if Father finds out, he won't do anything to me. At worst, I'll just swallow my pride and sing him 'Only Father is Good in the World'..."
Upon hearing Yinzhuo's words, the thoughts of everyone present were strangely synchronized at that moment. Heh, you're willing to risk your reputation? Your skin is so thick that you don't need to risk it. Little Six, is it possible that you don't have a clear understanding of how thick your skin is?
"Alright, if Father finds out and investigates later, remember that you'll take responsibility for your actions..."
Since the other party was so confident, Yinqi and Yinzhen simply stopped trying to persuade them. After all, upon closer examination, they were right. No matter how precious the black pearl was, it couldn't compare to their precious son. As the saying goes, it was a matter of mutual consent between father and son, and it was best not to interfere in their affairs, lest they end up like Pigsy looking in the mirror, pleasing neither side.
So, did Kangxi eventually discover that his beloved son had taken his precious pearls? The answer is undoubtedly yes. After all, those two bright pearls were clearly embedded in the snowman. Kangxi hardly needed to examine them closely to know that they must be his pair of black pearls. No, is that kid a rat? He had hidden them so well, how did he find them?
"Yinzuo, don't tell me that the things you used to make the snowman's eyes were the pair of pearls that Bai Jin presented to me?"
Although Kangxi asked the question in a questioning tone, he already had a conclusion in his mind about the answer. The reason he asked again was simply to find a reason for himself to start a war. After all, an emperor has to have a legitimate reason for everything he does.
Yinzhuo had no idea that his father was about to punish him. When he heard Kangxi's question, he not only didn't think there was a problem, but also walked up to Kangxi, took his arm, and enthusiastically introduced him to the composition of the facial features of these people.
“Father, you have such discerning eyes! You're absolutely right. The eyes of this panda snowman are made from the pair of black pearls in the little box in your study. And the nose is from your black jade pendant. And look at this mouth, doesn't it look familiar? It's made from the red agate from your court beads in your study… Father, look at how well I've built this panda snowman! Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it realistic? Doesn't it look just like the real thing? I truly believe I'm a genius. No matter what I do, I have a natural talent for it…”
Faced with Yinzhuo's shameless self-praise, Yinti and the others dared not have any other thoughts besides preparing to plead for him at any moment. Yes, you are indeed a genius. Not only are you talented enough to do everything, but your talent for courting death is simply unmatched...
Clearly, Kangxi was thinking the same thing. He reached out and grabbed the ear of the genius beside him, pulling him in front of the snowman and pointing to the various gemstone-made organs on the panda's face, asking a question.
"Come here, Yinzhuo, tell me properly. I hid these pearls so well, are you a rat? Otherwise, how did you find them? And this red agate, does that mean you took apart my court beads? I remember there are only three or four beads on a string of court beads, how many strings did you take apart?"
Yinzhuo wasn't afraid at all, even though his father was holding his ear. When his father asked him questions, he even went up to the snowman and counted them carefully. There were eight in total, no more and no less, exactly three strings with one left over.
“Father, what are you saying? What do you mean I was born in the Year of the Rat? I was clearly born in the Year of the Monkey! And you didn't hide this thing very well. Isn't it in the hidden compartment of that small cabinet on the left side of your desk in your study? You forgot that you said you kept your favorite things there? You just asked me how many court beads I took apart, it should be three, right? Look, I still have one left that I haven't used…”
Good heavens, as soon as Yinzhuo said that, he felt his father's grip on his ear tighten even more. It seemed that, given the situation, his father was the only good person in the world today, and he had no choice but to sing...
"Father, don't be angry. It's just a few strings of prayer beads. I can clean them up and string them for you later. If you're really angry, how about this, your son will give you..."
It's true what they say, when you spend a lot of time together, a tacit understanding naturally develops. Just as Yinzhuo was about to say that he could sing a little song to calm him down, Kangxi seemed to have foreseen that he would say that.
"What are you going to do to me? You're not trying to fool me again with that 'only Father is good in the world' nonsense, are you?"
Hey, what's with this? How did you learn to answer so quickly? How am I supposed to respond to what you're saying now? If I nod, wouldn't that be admitting I was trying to fool you? Fine, looks like I can't sing "Only Mother is Good" today.
"Look at what you're saying, Father. We're the best of friends in the world. Do you think your son would always try to fool you with the same old tricks? Don't worry, your son will definitely do something different for you today. Please come in."
