Chapter 10
When Yinreng returned to the palace, it was already completely dark. As soon as he entered the Shenwu Gate, he was blocked by someone. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that it was Liang Jiugong.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered that you go see him as soon as you return to the palace."
Judging from the situation, she must have been waiting for him for a while. Yinreng sighed, jumped off the carriage, motioned Xiaozhuzi to follow, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace while asking Liang Jiugong: "Is Khan Ama still awake? Is Khan Ama busy today? How is Khan Ama feeling?"
Liang Jiugong did not answer at all, but just looked at him and said, "Your Highness, you should think about how to explain it to the Emperor."
Yinreng: ...That is to say, there is no way to avoid this test today.
He shut up.
Walking to the Qianqing Palace, Yinreng was stunned for half a second as soon as he entered the hall. Not only Kangxi was in the hall, but Yinzhi was also there. Yinreng narrowed his eyes. It was already this time, why was Yinzhi not in the East Fifth House? Especially looking at this situation, it seemed that Kangxi was personally teaching him his lessons. What kind of lessons had to be taught so late at night?
Yinreng collected his thoughts and knelt down respectfully: "Your son pays respect to Ama Khan!"
Kangxi glanced at him and continued talking to Yinzhi.
Yinreng: ...Just leaving him here like this?
Seeing the father and son talking and laughing, Yinzhi was praised and did not forget to wink at him secretly. Yinreng pouted. Five minutes passed, and he was still kneeling. Ten minutes passed, and he was still kneeling. A quarter of an hour passed, and he was still kneeling.
Even though Yinzhi had finished his homework and was reading by himself, Kangxi was busy reviewing memorials and ignored him.
Yinreng couldn't help it: "Khan Ama!"
Kangxi sneered. That's all his patience! He still ignored her!
Yinreng squatted down holding his stomach, groaning: "Khan Ama, I feel uncomfortable!"
Kangxi immediately dropped the memorial and ran over to hug Yinreng: "What's wrong? Go call the imperial physician!"
The next second, Yinreng climbed onto his neck and said, "No need to call the imperial physician! I'm fine! As long as Khan Ama is not angry with me, I won't feel any pain!"
Kangxi knew that he was pretending, so he pushed him away and said angrily: "You are so capable! Not only did you leave the palace without permission, but you also learned to deceive the emperor!"
Yinreng was aggrieved: "Khan Ama, you are wronging me! How could this son of yours lie to the king! This son of yours really has a stomachache! This son of yours has not even had dinner yet, and you called me over just after I entered the Shenwu Gate!"
Yinzhi: ...
Kangxi: ...So it's still his fault?
"How can Suo Etu let you starve?"
Yinreng shook his head: "My uncle didn't leave me hungry. He prepared a lot of snacks, fruits and other food, but I was busy wandering around and didn't have time to eat. Later, I came back in a hurry and didn't even think about eating."
Yinzhi: ...
Kangxi: ...
Yinreng looked at Kangxi with his big round, innocent eyes, pulled his clothes, took out the paper bag in his arms, and opened it. Inside was a small roast chicken.
"Khan Ama, I bought this from a shop I passed by on my way back to the palace. I was in the carriage and heard people outside praising this shop's roast chicken as the most delicious, and they even said it was some exclusive secret recipe! Unfortunately, they had sold out when I got there, leaving only this smallest one. Khan Ama, please try it!"
Kangxi looked at the roast chicken that was pushed in front of him and was speechless.
Seeing that he didn't move, Yinreng said again: "Khan Ama, it's not cold. I held you in my arms all the way here to keep you warm! I remember the imperial physician said that Khan Ama needs to nourish his stomach and can't eat cold food!"
Kangxi was stunned. "You didn't have dinner. Since you have a roast chicken, why don't you eat it?"
"If I eat it, what will Khan Ama eat? This is the last one, I want to give it to Khan Ama!"
Kangxi opened his mouth, speechless for a moment. He was angry that he acted on his own and was willful, but also grateful for his innocent heart. It was just a roast chicken, which was not worth mentioning to him. But for Yinreng, he wanted to buy it for his father-in-law when he heard others praise it. He even remembered that his father-in-law needed to nourish his stomach, and there was no hot water lunch box in the car, so he wrapped it with his own body temperature.
Kangxi was so touched that he could no longer say the words of reprimand he was about to say.
Yinzhi was watching from the side with a confused look on his face: It's actually like this! It's actually possible to do this! I'm questioning my life!
Yinreng grabbed Kangxi's clothes and said, "Khan Ama, please don't be angry. I didn't leave the palace on purpose, and it can't be considered private. You gave me the token to leave the palace!"
Kangxi thought about it and it seemed that this was the case.
Earlier, Yinreng said he wanted to leave the palace, and he casually said he would take him there another day. As a result, Yinreng remembered it and asked several times. Unfortunately, he was busy with government affairs recently, and Tong Jia had also distracted most of his attention. In order to appease him, he could only give him a token to perfunctorily.
Yinreng hung his head and said, "I didn't leave the palace to play. I went out after hearing the news from Xiaozhuzi. I also asked someone to invite Khan Ama. But Khan Ama was meeting with ministers at that time. I had to go by myself."
Xiao Zhuzi stepped forward at the right time, knelt down and lifted the box.
Kangxi's eyes flashed. He remembered Xiao Zhuzi, whom Yinreng had sent to supervise Soetu's glass workshop. Could it be...
Kangxi's heart was beating wildly, but he tried hard to control it. He looked at Yinreng, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. In the end, he couldn't bear to see him kneeling all the time, so he asked him to stand up.
But Yinreng hugged Kangxi as soon as he stood up and said, "I know that Khan Ama loves me the most and cannot bear to see my legs hurt!"
Kangxi: ...
Yinzhi: ...Fuck! I've never seen anything like this! It's simply...so shameless!
The corner of Kangxi's mouth twitched. He also found that his son had become more naughty since he recovered from his last illness, and well... he had become closer to him.
He waved his hand and said, "Yinzhi, go back first!"
Yinzhi: ...You're sending him away just like that? Are you just going to let it go about Yinreng's secret escape from the palace?
I'm so unwilling to accept it! But there's nothing I can do but hold it in!
Yu Hui saw Yinzhi walk out and Yinreng's eyes rolled around.
When he left the palace, he didn't hide from people, and he brought several guards from the Eastern Palace with him. After all, he had lived two lives, and he cherished his life very much. He ran away alone with Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Chizi. Did he want to die? He made such a big scene, and he didn't even think about hiding it. As soon as he left, I'm afraid Kangxi would know about it.
But Kangxi himself learned about it and came to complain with Yinzhi. The nature of the two is completely different.
Yinzhi did not return to Dongwusuo, but quietly ran to Zhongcui Palace.
After listening to his complaints, Huipin poked Yinzhi's forehead with a finger and said, "Are you stupid? The prince dared to leave the palace so blatantly, he must have something to rely on. Even if you want the emperor to know, you don't have to complain yourself. Can't you just instruct a eunuch to leak the news? Fortunately, you are still young, and the emperor just thinks you are just children and doesn't think much about it. Otherwise, wouldn't you be the one who can't stand his brothers doing well?"
Yinzhi came to seek comfort, but he didn't want to be scolded, and he was even more unconvinced: "He is too cunning! He actually pretended to be nice to Khan Ama and acted like a spoiled child!"
Huipin rolled her eyes and said, "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you! He is your father's son, he can act like a spoiled child, but you can't!"
Yinzhi: ...
He hesitated for a long time and stammered, "This...this is too...too shameless!"
"How can you have the face to face your Khan Ama!"
Yinzhi: ...
Huipin: "Let me ask you, is your Khan Ama's favor more important, or is your face more important! What's more, he is six years old, and you are only eight years old. You are both children, so it is normal for you to act like a spoiled child!"
Yinzhi stiffened his neck and said, "I am not a child! I am the future Baturu of the Qing Dynasty! I will not do such a childish and embarrassing thing!"
Huipin: ...My own child, my own child, I can't get angry, I can't get angry. Getting angry hurts your body!
"Let me ask you, what's in the box that Xiao Zhuzi took?"
Yinzhi shook his head: "I don't know!"
I don't know how he could say it so confidently. He didn't care at all! Huipin was very disappointed: "As soon as the prince said that he got the news from Xiaozhuzi and Xiaozhuzi presented the box, your Khan Ama kicked you out. Don't you think about why? Don't you know how to find an excuse to stay a little longer?"
Yinzhi: ???
Huipin took a deep breath and waved her hand: "Forget it, you should go back first. It's against the rules for you to come here so late, don't let anyone see you and make a fuss about it."
But deep down, he was thinking. Suo Etu had not been to court for a while. He didn't know what he was doing. He only found out that he was doing things for the crown prince. Now it seems that it is not that simple.
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Kangxi was delighted when he looked at the three glass products.
"Khan Ama, now that we have this, can we ask the Ministry of Industry to start manufacturing it?"
"Yes! Sure!"
Yinreng's eyes sparkled, "Then Khan, this can earn a lot of money for the national treasury, right?"
Kangxi looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
Yinreng smiled and asked, "Is this a great achievement?"
Kangxi laughed and said, "You want to ask for credit for Suo Etu?"
"Ask for credit for my uncle?" Yinreng opened his eyes wide, as if he had heard a huge joke, his face full of disbelief, and he felt that Kangxi's idea was incredible and absurd. "It was my idea to let the workshop try to make glass, and I came up with the recipe. What does it have to do with my uncle? He didn't believe me at the beginning, so how can I get credit!"
Kangxi: ...
After thinking for a while, Yinreng seemed to feel that it was a bit wrong to say this about Soetu, so he coughed twice and said, "But even if there is no credit, there is always hard work. After all, he did work hard for two or three months for this matter."
Kangxi: ...
"Khan Ama, I have made such a great contribution, can you please promise me one thing?"
Kangxi turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"In the past few months, I have discovered that my uncle, although he always thinks I am fooling around and doesn't believe I can succeed, still does his best to complete the tasks I have been asked to do. He is very efficient at work. So, can you lend him to me again?"
Kangxi: ...
"I still have a lot of things I want my uncle to do!" Yinreng talked about today's chat with the farmers, "I think it's quite interesting. The harvest season will come soon, and I want my uncle to get me some different grains. And the cow pox, I'm also very curious, I want my uncle to go to the countryside to help me ask about the details."
Kangxi: ...You have so many ideas!
"Oh! Khan Ama, you have so many people in the court anyway, you don't need an uncle. I am different. The people who serve me cannot leave the palace for a long time, and the only one who needs to be used outside the palace is an uncle. You see, during this period of time, your uncle is not in the court, and someone will still do your business. So, why don't you give him to me. When I'm done with it, I'll return it to you, okay?"
The corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched and his expression was indescribable.
Who do you think Suo Etu is? He was given to you, and you spent it all, and then you returned it. He was a minister of the first rank, but now he is just playing house with a child?
"If Khan Ama doesn't object, that means he agrees!" Yinreng clapped his hands, "It's such a happy decision! I know Khan Ama loves me and will definitely agree. Khan Ama is so nice! You are the best Ama in the world!"
Kangxi: ...I suddenly feel that Soetu is a bit pitiful!
Forget it. Seeing that my son is so excited, I will agree to it first. I will call him back when he is no longer excited. I will mourn for Suo Etu in my heart!
Suo Etu was clearly arranged like this: ...
