Chapter 190 Third Brother, do you know what my greatest pain is?
Chapter 190 Third Brother, do you know what my greatest pain is?
As the saying goes, righteousness often comes from humble backgrounds, while ruthlessness often comes from scholars. Now, when Yinzhuo looks at his third brother, there are eleven words in his eyes: you are ruthless, you are cold-blooded, and you are unreasonable.
"Third Brother, do you know what my greatest pain is right now?"
The answer is so obvious. Your biggest pain right now is that you can see it, smell it, but you can't drink it. Yin Zhi was quite confident in his answer. Little brat, he just blurted it out.
Yinzhi didn't comment on whether Yinzhi's answer was right or wrong. Instead, he got up and walked directly towards Kangxi. Yinzhi was stunned by this action, but then he realized, "Oh no, this kid is probably going to complain to the Emperor." But seeing that Yinzhi was about to reach Kangxi, it was too late to stop him. Yinzhi was filled with regret. "How could I be so shameless? Why did I have to come and provoke him like this? Have I forgotten how powerful his backing is?"
As Yinzhi predicted, Yinzuo really did go to complain to his father. When he arrived, there were still many people around Kangxi. However, Prince Zhao was a well-known figure, and today he was escorted off the boat by Kangxi. Who could not recognize him? So when everyone saw him coming, they all stood up and bowed to him. Although Yinzuo did not mingle in officialdom, he was not completely ignorant of human relationships. He stepped forward with a gentle attitude and helped everyone up one by one. He chatted with them for a while before turning to look at Kangxi beside him.
“Father, Third Brother seems to have had a bit too much to drink. He even brought a bottle of wine to my son and asked if I wanted to try it, saying that the wine from Jiangnan is completely different from the wine we drank in the capital. My son is quite interested, but…”
Emperor Kangxi was very astute. As soon as he heard Yinzhuo's words, he understood what Yinzhuo meant. It was just that his third brother had taken the wine to tease him because he couldn't drink, and now the boy had come to him to complain.
"Alright, I understand. Go over there and call your third brother over."
Almost as soon as Kangxi finished speaking, Yinzhuo immediately turned around and walked towards Yinzhi. Yinzhi was a bit far from Kangxi and hadn't heard what Yinzhuo said at all, but seeing Yinzhuo walking towards him, he knew that this kid was coming for no good reason.
"Third Brother, let's go. Father wants to see you. Have you thought of a way to explain yourself yet? If not, let's walk slowly and you can think about it on the way."
Yinzhuo looked up at the distance between his seat and Kangxi's side. Ten meters was considered far. With such a short distance, what could he possibly figure out even if he racked his brains? So he quickly got up and moved closer to Yinzhuo to try and get on his good side.
"Sixth brother, it was all my fault just now. Can you tell me what you told Father Khan? This will help me think about how I should respond when Father Khan asks about it later."
Yinzhuo's words were meant to scare his third brother, and seeing Yinzhi's reaction, he followed suit, slightly bowing and whispering in his third brother's ear.
"Don't worry, Third Brother. I just relayed exactly what you said to Father Khan without embellishing anything."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhi gave Yin Zuo a deep look, but in the end, he couldn't help but raise his hand and tap Yin Zuo's shiny forehead.
"Little Six, you've really put Third Brother in a terrible position. Look at all those people on Father's side. If Third Brother goes over there and gets a severe scolding from Father, he'll lose all face and dignity."
Yinzhuo had only been thinking about complaining and hadn't really thought of this point. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at Kangxi's side. Indeed, there were quite a few people there. His father never repeated himself when he scolded people. If his third brother went over there and got a scolding from him, good heavens, he would really lose all face.
"Third Brother, don't worry, Father wouldn't be so reckless... right?"
The word "吧" at the end reveals Yinzhuo's uncertainty about the matter. However, upon further reflection, he felt it was unnecessary. After all, this was just a joke between the brothers, and his father would not publicly scold his third brother over such a trivial matter.
As expected, Yinzhuo was right. After the two brothers arrived, Kangxi's attitude was quite gentle. He asked Yinzhi a few questions in a low voice and then banned him from drinking alcohol. Yinzhuo couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw the incredulous expression on Yinzhi's face.
"Third Brother, do you now know what my greatest pain is?"
Yinzhi's voice brought him back from his reverie. If it weren't for Yinzhi's protective backer standing right in front of him, he would have gone up and given the boy a couple more whacks on the head.
"So what is your greatest pain? Is it that no one shares your pain?"
To be fair, Yin Zhi knew Yin Zuo quite well. As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Zuo ran up to him, put his arm around Yin Zhi's shoulder like two brothers, and patted his chest with his other hand.
"You guessed right, Third Brother really does understand me. My biggest pain right now is that no one shares my pain. Well, now we're on the same page, Third Brother. I think you can empathize with my pain now, right?"
It must be said that Yinzhi, you know how to kill someone by destroying their spirit. Yinzhi considers himself a scholar and loves to compose poems and write about the moon and the wind. As the saying goes, poetry and wine go hand in hand. Now that his father has banned his drinking, won't he be ridiculed by his friends when he goes out with them in the future?
There is no such thing as true empathy in the world. Just like at this moment, while Yinzhi was in great distress, Yinzuo was laughing heartily on the side. So our Prince Zhao soon turned his joy into sorrow. He never expected that his third brother would punish him in front of his father.
"Third Brother, why did you hit me again? If you hit me so hard I become stupid, will you compensate me?"
"I'll pay you, of course I'll pay you, but there's a condition first. I'll beat you senseless first." As soon as Yinzhuo saw his third brother roll up his sleeves, he immediately ran towards Kangxi. Once he was beside him, he grabbed his arm and refused to let go no matter what.
"Father, look at my forehead, isn't it all red? Third Brother has gone too far, you have to do something about him."
As the saying goes, both sides are flesh and blood. Although the flesh on the palm hurts more, isn't the flesh on the back of the hand also flesh? Kangxi didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the two brothers today, so he raised his hand to pull his arm out of Yinzhuo's arms and touched his forehead, which had been hit red by Yinzhi.
"It's alright, your clever brain won't break. Can't you see I'm busy here? You two go play over there."
