Chapter 330 The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention
Chapter 330 The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention
Chapter 330 The speaker may not have meant anything by it, but the listener took it to heart.
Want to know what it means to be like Pigsy looking in the mirror, neither inside nor outside a person? Then just look at this unlucky fellow, Yinreng, and you'll understand. Just look at the way he was hit with a ruler as soon as he walked in without uttering a single word. What else could Yinreng not understand? Well, it seems he's in for another piece of gossip today.
"Father, there's a reason for this, and the debtor should be held responsible. Little Six angered you, so why didn't you deal with him? Why did you hit me? And how can you be so sure I want to be buried with this brat? I'm not crazy. Do you think I'd want to live so close to such a troublesome thing? Would I not have peace even after I die? And what do you mean he won't have anyone to complain to if I bully him in the future? Father, do you even know what you're saying? With you here, who can bully him? If you're really worried, just bury him next to your mausoleum after you die. That way, he can keep an eye on your precious little guy and make sure no one bullies him..."
As the saying goes, what is said without intention may be taken to heart by the listener. You know what, Yinreng's last sentence really did give Kangxi a wake-up call. Yes, why didn't he think of that before? Didn't this kid want to stay far away from him? He was determined not to let him have his way. Anyway, just as Yinreng said, since he couldn't feel at ease leaving this kid anywhere, he might as well just keep him by his side and watch over him. It's no big deal.
"Yinzuo, did you hear what your second brother said just now? It seems you're not very popular. You're thinking of being neighbors with someone after you die, but judging from the implication in your second brother's words, it seems that the person doesn't have that intention."
So what? Are you mocking me for being disliked? Yinzhu first glared at Yinreng, who was smiling at him, and then looked at his father with annoyance.
"Hmph, so what if Second Brother looks down on me? Father, don't forget, I may not have many other things, but I have quite a few brothers. I'll invite them all over and ask them one by one. I refuse to believe that not one of them would want to be my neighbor after they pass away. Second Brother, let me ask you, what's wrong with being my neighbor? You say I'm a nuisance? Do you think I'm a nuisance? What, are you here again to ask Father to resign your position as Crown Prince?"
Isn't it just about hurting each other? Who wouldn't do that? To be fair, what Yinzhu said really had the kind of resolute attitude that if I'm not having a good time, then we should all die. Of course, this resolute attitude is secondary; the main thing is to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
Where did Yinzhi's brothers come from? Weren't they born to him by Kangxi? Didn't his second brother say he was a headache? What, you talk as if you're not a headache yourself? Compared to you, constantly asking to resign from your position as crown prince, and the fact that you can't even resign, I'm much more heartbreaking than you...
“Say something! Why are you both so talkative? Weren’t you two quite the chatterboxes just now? Second brother, don’t just laugh at me, say something! And father, what’s wrong? Are you regretting giving me so many brothers? It’s alright, this is nothing. I believe that with your excellent physical condition, giving me a few more brothers is no problem at all…”
Hey, I told you you were coughing, and you're still wheezing here, aren't you? Kangxi and Yinreng looked at Yinzuo's smug look and really wanted to slap him a couple of times. There's a saying that goes, "Actions speak louder than words." The father and son looked at each other, and then almost simultaneously reached out and walked towards Yinzuo from the left and right.
Yinzhuo wasn't blind, nor was he stupid. Seeing the menacing look on those two's faces, how could he just stand there and let them get away with it? Well, this is how it's going to work. Just now it was like a cat playing with a mouse, but now they're really serious.
When Yinzhuo faced off against Kangxi and Yinreng, their relentless pursuit and interception gave them no chance of winning. Sure enough, after only running a couple of laps, they were cornered. As mentioned before, the greatest strength of our Prince Zhao is his ability to bend and stretch. Seeing that he had nowhere to escape, he simply stopped running and surrendered without resistance.
"Run, keep running! Weren't you running pretty fast just now? Little Six, don't just look at me pitifully like that. Do you want me to give you some space so you can keep running? Look at how capable you are, even daring to tease your father. Why don't you smile? You seemed quite happy just now, why aren't you smiling now? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?"
Almost every time Yinreng spoke, he would raise his hand and poke Yinzuo's forehead. By the time he finished speaking, Yinzuo's shiny forehead was already bright red. Kangxi initially felt quite relieved to see Yinzuo standing there obediently being lectured by Yinreng, but after seeing Yinreng poking Yinzuo's forehead until it was bright red and not stopping, he began to feel sorry for him.
"Yinreng, that's enough! Is this how an older brother should act? Look at his head, it's all red from where you poked him! Yinzuo, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come to your father..."
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Yinreng realized that his sincere feelings had been misplaced. He hadn't been idle; why had he bothered to speak up for someone else? Why did Yinzuo dare to be so outspoken? It was all because his father had spoiled him. The father and son were like Zhou Yu and Huang Gai—both were willing participants. He had simply been unnecessarily meddlesome…
They'd already fought and made a scene, and of course, Liang Jiugong had brought over the pastries. Kangxi pulled Yinreng back to the bedside to review the pile of memorials with him, while Yinzuo sat beside them, happily munching on a plate of pastries. Yinreng watched with such envy that he wished he could immediately kneel down and resign his position as crown prince.
How do pigs live? Anyone who has raised pigs knows that they do nothing but eat and sleep. Although Yinreng had never raised pigs, seeing Yinzuo's posture of sleeping immediately after eating, the thought that came to his mind was—was this guy a pig in his past life?
"Father, is it really okay for him to eat and then sleep like this?"
You ask if there's a problem with Kangxi and Yinzhuo eating and then sleeping? The answer is definitely yes, and it's a huge problem. Kangxi glanced at Yinzhuo, who had already closed his eyes and lay down to sleep, and his brows furrowed.
"You know, this child is sleepy and won't go to sleep in the side hall, he insists on squeezing next to me. And it's getting colder and he doesn't even know to cover himself with anything while sleeping. Liang Jiugong, go to the side hall and get a blanket to put on him, otherwise he'll definitely catch a cold when he wakes up..."
So what? Does your answer have anything to do with the question I just asked you? Yinreng looked up at Emperor Kangxi sitting opposite him, and then almost without hesitation slapped himself on the forehead. I must have been out of my mind to ask such a question with an answer I already knew the answer to.
