Chapter 562 The wolf is coming
Chapter 562 The wolf is coming
"Don't force me to beat you!"
"Oh, please don't scare me, my dear. If I get scared, I won't understand what you want me to do.
Ah! No! Ah, how could you just hit me like that?! Stop, stop hitting me... Stop hitting me! I was wrong!
No... Hey, Ama, isn't it strange that I suddenly understood what you meant.
"Understood?"
"Ah."
"So you know what to do?"
"understood."
"Ah."
Why did he have to beat himself up before he would obey? After some exercise, Kangxi's depression was swept away. He returned to the imperial desk refreshed and continued to review memorials, not forgetting to remind him: "Hurry up."
"Humph!"
"Ok?"
"I know! I know!"
Saiyinchahun walked away holding his buttocks, and only put his hands down after he walked out of the hall, then limped away as if nothing had happened.
Saiyinchahun seemed unaware of the subtle gazes of the servants passing by, but in his heart he was blaming his old father for being too cruel and making him lose face in front of so many people.
Back at Shoukang Palace, Nanny An came to greet him happily, "My brother hasn't been home for several days. The master misses you."
"Isn't this something I need to do?"
Nanny An's mouth twitched. Her brother was still so young, what could he possibly be busy with? Could he be getting into trouble again?
Looking at her brother's strange walking posture, Nanny An subconsciously glanced at his butt and thought to herself, as expected.
Saiyinchahun endured and held back before he said nothing. He really didn't want to be so smart as to read other people's expressions at a glance, and he didn't want to instantly understand the reason for the understanding in Nanny An's eyes.
What kind of image did he have in their eyes? Was he the one who was naughty? But this time, it was clearly Ama who was being unreasonable.
Facts have proved that Saiyin Chahun's "hun" is very popular. The Empress Dowager's first reaction to seeing Saiyin Chahun return was joy, and her second reaction was, "What did you do again to get beaten by your father?"
Saiyin Chahun was so angry that he laughed. "Grandmother, why can't it be that my father was unreasonable, so that my grandson got beaten for no reason?"
Even if the Empress Dowager had a thick filter for Saiyinchahun, the man she raised with her own hands, she could not lie with her eyes open. At this time, she agreed with Saiyinchahun and said that she believed what he said, saying that it was Kangxi who was making trouble and Saiyinchahun was innocent.
Facing the expression of "What nonsense are you talking about?" on the face of the Empress Dowager, Saiyin Chahun fell silent. He suddenly remembered the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" that his mother told him when he was a child.
Although he did not lie, he had gotten into trouble too many times and his character had been deeply rooted in people's minds. It was no wonder that the Empress Dowager, who loved him so much, did not believe him.
"Okay, I admit it. I made Father angry again." Saiyin Chahun closed his eyes, not wanting to look at the "as expected" expressions on the faces of the Empress Dowager and Nanny An.
"But this time, I'm not fooling around. I clearly... clearly did it for Fuwa... oh no, it's for my younger brother Yinfu." Saiyin Chahun blurted out the nickname he gave to the fifth brother without paying attention, and almost ruined the business.
"Yinfu?" The Empress Dowager and Nanny An looked at each other, not understanding what Yinfu had to do with this.
The Empress Dowager looked at Saiyin Chahun, who was obviously depressed and unhappy, and asked distressedly: "What happened to Yinfu? Tell the Imperial Grandmother, maybe she can help you."
Even if she couldn't do it herself, there was still the Empress Dowager. For the sake of her own Saiyinchahun, the worst that could happen was that she would let the Empress Dowager scold her again.
"Alas, Grandmother, you can't help me. No one can change the Emperor's mind."
"What does this have to do with your father?"
Of course there is a connection. It's a big connection. He sent himself to fool you. Although Ama didn't say this explicitly, this is definitely what he meant.
"Grandmother, Yinfu's birthday is next month. We wanted to celebrate together at Zhongcui Palace, but Father has already arranged to celebrate at Qianqing Palace that day and has specifically asked my brother and me to go there early.
But wouldn't that leave my mother behind? I thought of asking my father to go to Zhongcui Palace that day, but he refused.
I then suggested celebrating my birthday at noon in the Qianqing Palace and at night in the Zhongcui Palace, but my father disagreed, saying, "How can you celebrate your birthday twice? Wouldn't that be celebrating a future birthday in advance? That's unlucky."
Tell me, isn't the implicit meaning of this statement that we are not allowed to celebrate Yinfu's birthday with Mother?"
"This, this is a matter between your father and mother, it's really not appropriate for outsiders to get involved..." The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed. How could she, a mother with no blood relationship, interfere in the matter between her son and daughter-in-law?
"What do you mean by an outsider!" Saiyin Chahun jumped up and accidentally pulled the wound on his buttocks. The pain made his face twisted for a moment, and he kept shouting: "What do you mean by an outsider? I am their son, how can..."
"Okay, okay, it was the Empress Dowager who made the mistake. You are certainly not an outsider. But Saiyin Chahun, as a child, you really shouldn't interfere in the affairs of your elders."
"I know, so I didn't expect them to reconcile. I just... I just wanted to have a family meal together on my brother's birthday, even if it's just for this one day, even if my father and mother aren't really happy."
This made the Empress Dowager very distressed. When Saiyin Chahun was born, the relationship between the Emperor and Rong Fei had always been very good. Therefore, even if Saiyin Chahun did not grow up in Zhongcui Palace, he could still feel the happiness of his parents' harmony. But now...
Saiyinchahun is still a child after all, how can he accept such a huge gap.
Even after so much time had passed, Saiyin Chahun had never made a fuss about his mother. The Empress Dowager actually whispered about this with Nanny An and found it a little unbelievable.
Only now did I realize that Saiyin Chahun was not without his mother. He had clearly grown up in an instant and realized that there are always things in this world that are beyond our control.
The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and slowly said under Nanny An's disapproving gaze, "You just want to celebrate Yinfu's birthday, right?"
"Well, it can also allow brother Yinzhi to meet my father. He has never seen my father since he was born."
"Okay, let the Empress Dowager talk to your father for you."
Saiyin Chahun's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. "Father's attitude is very firm. I'm afraid even if the Empress Dowager talks to him, it will be useless."
"Not really. After all, your father will give the Empress Dowager this face." Besides, isn't there still the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager was already thinking about how to get the Grand Empress Dowager's consent.
"What did you say? Say it again?" The Empress Dowager looked at Wu Yunna with a guilty look on her face expressionlessly.
At this time, Borjigit, the concubine who came to disturb the Cining Palace every day, was also there. She was very dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager and asked the Grand Empress Dowager to speak up, just to invite His Majesty to go to the Zhongcui Palace. What was the Empress Dowager thinking?
Even for her, the Empress Dowager had never spoken of this, but now she was speaking for another vixen. Was the Empress Dowager crazy? Or...
"The Empress Dowager is supporting Prince Saiyinchahun, but how come her heart has shifted to the Zhongcui Palace? Do you still remember your last name?"
"presumptuous!"
Concubine Borjigit was not afraid at all. She knew the Empress Dowager's background. She was an incompetent queen before and now she was an incompetent Empress Dowager. If it were not for the Grand Empress Dowager, no one would respect her even if she was the Empress Dowager.
Furthermore, if we talk about the relationship in Khorchin, the two of them are peers, so Naren has no respect for the nominal empress dowager.
"Naren, you are so unruly."
It was the Grand Empress Dowager who spoke, which caused Concubine Borjigit's expression to change. She was about to explain something when she was interrupted by the Grand Empress Dowager, "You'd better not come to the Cining Palace so often these days."
The final decision was made, and even though Borjigit was dissatisfied, he could only bow and leave in a low voice.
After everyone left, the Empress Dowager scolded him with a look of disappointment: "You, you, what can I say? Now even your own people don't take you seriously, let alone others. Wait..."
"My Queen Mother! My Queen Mother, please stop talking. I cannot bear to hear this."
