Chapter 46 Fourth Brother, save me! A monster is coming to capture me!
"The first snow of 2002 came later than usual. The No. 2 bus, which was parked on the eighth floor, took away... Oh no, the No. 2 bus! We're doomed! Fourth Brother, hurry up, we'll miss the No. 2 bus... no, we'll miss the gate closing time..."
Yinzhen was already having a hard time enduring the drunkard's ear-piercing noise, and when Yinzuo suddenly pulled him forward, he almost fell to the ground with him. After barely regaining his balance, he could no longer bear it and slapped Yinzuo, who was still sitting on the ground, on the back of the head to vent his anger. Only then did he call Yinqi next to him to help him pull the drunkard up!
"It's kind of you to remember that the palace gates are locked. If it were up to you, none of us would escape punishment when we went back. I already sent someone back to the palace to let them know while we were on the cruise ship. Father told us to stay at Third Brother's place for the night after we've had our fun, and then go back early tomorrow morning."
Although he was angry, Yinzhen couldn't really argue with a drunkard. After pulling Yinzuo up from the ground, he helped him brush off the dust from his body and patiently explained to him.
"Fourth Brother, we can't go to Third Brother's place. His hobby is a bit unusual. Let me tell you a secret, Third Brother loves to get up at 1 AM every day to see the city streets. If we go there, we'll definitely be dragged out of bed first thing tomorrow morning to go see the city streets with him..."
When Yinzhi received a message from Yinzhen's guards that Yinzuo was drunk, he kindly brought people to pick them up. But as soon as they got out of the carriage, they heard Yinzuo badmouthing himself. It almost made our Third Prince so angry that he got back into the carriage and told the driver to turn back. This troublesome younger brother, let him sleep on the street tonight.
"Well, so this is how you usually ruin my reputation with the brothers. I even came to pick you up myself when I heard you were drunk. You've really hurt your brother's feelings."
Yinzhuo obviously didn't expect that the person behind the scenes would be caught red-handed by the person in charge. Seeing Yinzhi walking aggressively towards him, even though he was a little confused because of his drunkenness, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is a human instinct after all. Yinzhuo's first reaction was to hide next to Yinzhen, whom he thought was the safest.
"Fourth Brother, save me! A monster is coming to capture me!"
If Yinzhuo hadn't spoken up, and Yinzhi had just grumbled a few times, the matter would probably have ended there. But because he shouted like that, Yinzhi, who hadn't originally intended to argue with him, suddenly wanted to.
"Hehe, stop dreaming. Your fourth brother can't save you. Let me tell you, not only do I like to drag people out of bed at the crack of dawn to see the sights all over the capital, I also like to eat fair-skinned, tender-looking kids like you..."
The drunken Sixth Prince was clearly in a strong desire to perform today. Seeing how cooperative his Third Brother was, he became even more excited. He stopped hiding and stepped out from behind Yinzhen, pointing at Yinzhi who was almost in front of him and shouting loudly.
"Hey, you audacious monster, don't come any closer! I'm telling you, my monkey is right here! If you take another step, I'll have my monkey hit you with a stick..."
His strange and comical manner immediately amused Yinqi and the others who were watching him and Yinzhi play around, and they burst into laughter. Yinzu was now a show-off, and seeing that someone was supporting him, he immediately became even more energetic.
“You better behave yourself. If you keep making a fuss, you’ll be sleeping on the street tonight. Third brother, fifth brother, come and give me a hand. Throw him in the car.”
Despite how much trouble Yinzhuo caused earlier, he's become quite well-behaved now that his monkey... after being forcefully subdued and dragged onto the carriage by his fourth brother. Looking at Yinzhuo sitting obediently next to Yinzhen, doing whatever he's told, if Yinzhi hadn't witnessed it firsthand, he would never have been able to connect this man with the drunken madman who had been causing chaos earlier.
"Now I understand how the Khan feels. He was so angry with him down there, but now seeing how obedient he is, he can't help but soften. You know, good-looking people have an advantage. You can imagine how many punishments he's avoided over the years because of his face."
Yinzhen looked at Yinzuo beside him, whose eyes were half-closed and whose head was nodding as if he was about to fall asleep. He reached out and took a cushion from the carriage to put behind Yinzuo's head, and then took his own cloak to drape over him. Although he did not agree with Yinzhi's words, he did agree with him. This kid's face was indeed an advantage. Every time, wasn't he angry with him one minute and then softened by his coquettishness the next?
"Yinzhuo is up, we need to go back to the palace."
When Yinzhu was woken up, he was still dazed. He squinted at Yinqi standing in front of his bed, then looked at the unfamiliar room he was in, and was momentarily confused.
"Fifth Brother, where are we? And it's still early! Why are we up so early?"
"I got up so early, of course, because your third brother has some special hobbies. I just wanted to wake you up early so we could see the street scene of the capital at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) together."
Before Yinqi could answer, the door was pushed open from the outside. As Yinzhi and Yinzhen entered from outside, the memories of his death last night began to resurface in Yinzuo's mind early this morning.
"Okay, so you can't let this go, huh? Third brother, why are you so petty? Your brother was just joking with you, why are you holding a grudge?"
Adhering to the principle of blaming others rather than making things difficult for oneself, Yinzhuo immediately accused Yinzhi of being the guilty party when he heard Yinzhi's words, leaving the honest Yinqi standing nearby completely bewildered.
"You, Yinzhuo, now that you've said that, it's my fault. No wonder my elder brother said you're good at twisting the truth. Let's see how I deal with you today."
As Yinzhi was about to pretend to go forward and teach him a lesson, Yinzuo quickly pulled Yinqi, who was standing by the bed, to stand in front of him, and didn't forget to stick his head out from behind him to provoke him.
"Alright, Third Brother, come and teach me a lesson. Then I can go back to the palace and cry to Father Khan. Maybe I can even get some benefits from him."
Regardless of how Yinzhi felt after hearing this, Yinqi, who had originally intended to be a peacemaker, no longer wanted to care about him at all.
"Third brother, don't be angry. I'll step aside now. You can teach this kid a lesson so he won't have anything to say when he goes back to cry to his father."
Seeing that he had incurred the wrath of the masses, Yinzhuo immediately backed down. His ability to bend and stretch was one of the few virtues of our Sixth Prince.
"Third brother, fifth brother, I know I was wrong. Please don't hold it against me. I was just joking. How can I bother Father with everything? Besides, I just came back from getting something from Father yesterday. He needs some time to calm down, doesn't he..."
Yinzhi, Yinzhen, and Yinqi looked at each other speechlessly. Look at what he said! He really is a thoughtful and filial son.
