Chapter 347 Only those who are favored are qualified to be children.
Whether Kangxi felt guilty or not is another matter, but Yinzhuo, with his pregnant belly, strolled around the garden for quite a while before feeling a little better. The entourage was about to depart tomorrow, and many urgent matters needed to be addressed today. After accompanying Yinzhuo for a while, Kangxi moved to the study to continue battling with his pile of memorials. Yinzhuo, after strolling around for a while longer, finally decided to find a different way to digest his food.
"Oh my goodness, can we not make a fuss at night? Look how dark it is all around. If something happens to you, His Majesty will tear me to pieces. How about this, I'll go find Eunuch Liang and ask him if he can clean up the bathhouse in the back. Can you swim around there a few times?"
It's no wonder Dexi was so anxious. His master was truly unpredictable. Have you ever seen a prince or nobleman insist on swimming in the lake late at night? You must know that his master was the emperor's darling. If something happened to him, who could bear the responsibility?
Compared to Dexi's nervousness and fear, Yinzuo was quite confident in his swimming skills. He reached out and ripped off his outer clothes, threw them into Dexi's arms, kicked off his shoes, pulled off his socks, and quickly walked to the edge of the waterside pavilion. Then, ignoring Dexi's attempts to stop him, he plunged into the lake.
Although the weather in early May was neither cold nor warm, the temperature dropped significantly at night, and the lake water was somewhat cool. Fortunately, Yinzhuo had just finished eating and had been strolling around for a long time. Apart from feeling a little cold when he first entered the water, he quickly got used to it and swam happily in the lake.
When Dexi saw Yinzhu dive into the lake, her heart leaped into her throat. Only when she saw Yinzhu emerge from the lake by the moonlight did she breathe a sigh of relief. The man was already in the lake, and it was obviously too late to say anything now. At this point, Dexi could only call on the palace servants waiting behind her and have them spread out along the lakeside to keep a close watch. If anything went wrong, they were to immediately jump into the lake to rescue him.
Fortunately, everything turned out alright in the end. Yinzhuo was quite good in terms of both swimming skills and physical strength. He swam happily in the lake for nearly half an hour. When he felt his stomach was no longer bloated, he naturally swam towards the shore.
"You good-for-nothing! Why aren't you sleeping in the side hall at this hour? What are you doing messing around by the lake? You're all soaking wet. You're no longer the prince you used to be. Liang Jiugong, take this brat to the back to wash up. Once he's ready, bring him to the study. Since he's not sleepy or tired, let's not sleep tonight."
De Xi had no courage to conceal such a major event as Yinzhu jumping into the lake. When Kangxi received the news and rushed over, Yinzhu was having a great time in the lake. Kangxi was afraid that he would make a sound and startle Yinzhu in the lake, causing an accident. So even though he was burning with anger, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
After Yinzhuo got ashore, he was soaking wet. Even though Kangxi wanted to discipline him, he couldn't bear to let him stand there being scolded dressed like that. So after poking Yinzhuo's forehead a few times, he turned around and ordered Liang Jiugong to take Yinzhuo away to bathe and change his clothes.
As the saying goes, one must press on with one's might, then lose it, and finally exhaust it. By the time Yinzhuo had returned to the study with Liang Jiugong, Kangxi had already digested most of his anger. You have to admit, this beloved son is different. Look at him, he knows his father doesn't like him, but instead of avoiding him, he even dares to pull a chair closer to his father.
"Father, are you still angry? Your son really knows he was wrong. I promise you I will never do it again. If you hadn't made me eat so much, would I have felt so full? If I hadn't felt so full, would I have thought of going swimming in the lake to digest? If I hadn't gone swimming, you wouldn't be angry, right? So in the end, it's all your fault... Ouch, Father, my ears hurt! Am I still your son? Please be gentle with me."
It must be said that Yinzhuo really managed to shift the blame very smoothly, which reignited Kangxi's anger, which had already subsided.
"You've been saying you know you're wrong and won't do it again for over twenty years. Do you think I still believe you? You still have the nerve to ask if you're my biological son? Don't you know your place? With all the things you do every day, if I weren't your father, your head would have been gone long ago. You little brat, you dare to blame me? I think you just haven't been beaten enough..."
Yinzhuo was being twisted around the left ear by Kangxi, who was pulling him up and twisting him like a pretzel. He was inwardly groaning. Sure enough, one is influenced by one's company; look at his mouth, it's just like Xiao Jiu's...
“Father is right. That’s why everyone says that there’s no one better than Father in this world. I know that no matter what, no one in this world will treat me better than you. So Father, can you please stop being angry with me? Look, you still have a bunch of memorials to approve. Let go, and I’ll help you approve them.”
That's why they say Yinzhuo understood Kangxi's mind best. Look, he appeased his father with just a few words. However, Yinzhuo's words weren't entirely just to please his father. Yinzhuo knew very well that no one in this world could treat him better than Kangxi...
Yinzhuo remembered seeing a sentence online in his previous life: only those who are favored are qualified to be children. And if he asked himself honestly, the reason he was able to live so freely and independently in this life was truly inseparable from Kangxi's favor and tolerance towards him.
What are the consequences of being sentimental sometimes? Well... Yinzhuo slammed his head on the desk in front of his father. The study was almost silent at night except for the occasional sound of the father and son flipping through memorials. Yinzhuo's loud slam not only scared away his drowsiness, but also startled Kangxi, who was sitting opposite him, and Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to him.
"Yinzhuo, how are you feeling? How badly did you bump your head? If you're sleepy, don't stay here guarding. Liang Jiugong, take your young master down to rest, and remember to apply some medicine to his forehead."
Ever since Yinzhuo slammed his head on the table, Liang Jiugong had been craning his neck to look in this direction. Upon hearing Kangxi's order, he immediately walked quickly to Yinzhuo to help him up. Yinzhuo rubbed the spot on his forehead that hurt from the fall, waved his hand at Liang Jiugong, and got up and walked towards the bed in the study.
"Father, don't worry, I just bumped into something and it's not serious. But I'm really sleepy right now. Since you seem to be planning to finish all these memorials all night, I won't go to the side hall. I'll just sleep here and keep you company."
