20demayo Chapter 67 I've never seen anyone so arrogant in my entire life.
Chapter 67 I've never seen anyone so arrogant in my entire life.
It is said that life is rarely perfect, so Yinzhi only sought partial satisfaction. He had come with the attitude of doing his best and leaving the rest to fate. At this moment, Kangxi had clearly been persuaded and promised to consult with someone to determine the feasibility before formulating relevant courses for the princesses to learn. Naturally, Yinzhi would not argue with him any further.
"Father, now that everything is alright, I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now."
The matter that had been weighing on his mind for the past few days has now been resolved. Yinzhuo is now free of worries and in a good mood. Naturally, everything looks pleasing to the eye, and even the scorching sun that he usually hates now seems bright and sunny.
"I heard from Baotai the other day that a new storyteller has come to Yajixuan. He tells good stories. Dexi, call some people and let's go sit there."
Although Dexi didn't know why his master had been looking so gloomy these past few days, nor did he know what he had talked about with His Majesty at Qingxi Study that caused his mood to change so drastically, he naturally wouldn't spoil his master's mood. He quickly responded and went to tell someone to follow Yinzhuo out.
"Sixth Brother, where are you going? Didn't Father forbid you from going out lately?"
Look at what he's saying. Why didn't Kangxi let him go out recently? It was because he was afraid that the rumors outside would affect him. Although Yinzhuo thought he was quite strong and would never be swayed by a few words from others, he was happy to cooperate because he thought Kangxi was a loving father. He obediently played the role of a good boy in Changchun Garden for these days.
Even if Changchun Garden is large enough, and there are many other gardens around it for him to stroll through, he can stay for a day, two days, ten days, or half a month. But after a while, even the best garden and the most beautiful scenery will become tiresome. The outside world is so big and so wonderful, and he wants to go out and see it.
"Father Khan was afraid that I would be affected by the rumors outside, so he made me stay in the garden to avoid the storm. Now that so much time has passed, countless big and small things happen in the capital every day. Who would still care about what I said back then? Besides, Father Khan doesn't want me to go out and wander around, but he hasn't explicitly forbidden me from going out."
As long as Kangxi did not explicitly forbid it, Yinzhuo considered it perfectly permissible. Therefore, he ignored Yintang's attempts to stop him. Yinzhuo saw that Dexi had returned with the guards and was about to leave with his men.
"Sixth Brother, where are you planning to go? Can you take your younger brother with you?"
Yin Tang Yin knew that one shouldn't be too concerned about saving face. Since they couldn't beat him, they should join him. His sixth brother was determined to leave today, so wouldn't they be at a huge loss if they didn't go with him?
"Alright, I'll take one of you. Let's go."
Since today's destination is a teahouse for storytelling, it doesn't matter whether it's quiet or lively, or how many people are there. Yinzhuo naturally doesn't mind bringing Yintang and Yinxi along.
Yajixuan is considered one of the best teahouses in the capital. It is always bustling with people coming and going. Teahouses are the best place to see all kinds of people. Before leaving the palace, Yinzhu's favorite thing to do was to come to Yajixuan, go to a private room on the second floor, order a pot of tea, and sit and watch all kinds of people coming and going in the lobby on the first floor.
"Oh, it's been a while since this gentleman has been here. Same as usual, I'll serve you the 'Spring River Water' on the second floor?"
Yinzhuo had come here many times and had become quite familiar with the staff and owners. As soon as the group entered from outside, someone came to greet them.
"Lead the way. As always, bring a pot of Longjing tea and a few snacks."
As Bao Tai was right, the new storyteller at Yaji Pavilion was indeed quite skilled. He told the same stories in a more captivating way than others. Needless to say, Yin Tang and Yin Yi listened with great interest, and even Yin Zuo found it unusually interesting.
"What the hell are you talking about? Get down here and bring up that girl who sang yesterday..."
Just as they were engrossed in listening, a commotion suddenly erupted outside, and the storytelling abruptly stopped. Yinzhen frowned, got up, and went to check on the bed near the first-floor hall. When he saw the storyteller being carried off the stage by two servants, he couldn't help but react.
"How dare you! Release them! This is the capital, under the Emperor's nose! How dare you run wild here!"
Hearing Yin's loud rebuke, the two servants didn't take it seriously. Anyone who dared to be so lawless in broad daylight must have some powerful backer. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
“Our young master wants to hear some music. This pedantic scholar is rambling on and on about boring things. What’s wrong with kicking him off the stage? You said it yourself, this is the capital, under the emperor’s nose. I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business, or you’ll regret it.”
Good heavens, look how powerful he is! Yinzhen has been a tyrant in the palace since he was a child. Apart from his sixth brother, he has never seen anyone more arrogant than him. He never expected that his trip to Yajixuan today would be so worthwhile, as he actually ran into him. Can he tolerate this? Of course not! Since he can't tolerate it, then he should just fight back.
"Yin Tang, hurry up and take your men to follow Yin? That kid, there are so many of them, he'll definitely suffer if he goes down like this."
Seeing Yinzhen roll up his sleeves, push open the door, and walk out, Yinzhen hurriedly called Yinzhen to lead his men to follow him. After all, two fists can't fight four hands. Even if Yinzhen was good at martial arts, he had no chance of winning against so many people.
Yinzhuo and his group were on the second floor of Yijiang Chunshui. By the time they finished speaking, Yinzhuo had already come down to the first-floor hall. He was furious and didn't pay attention to how many people were there. He went up and grabbed the two servants who were holding the storyteller, and punched them.
"Heh, in all my years, I've never seen anyone dare to speak to me like that. Consider this punch a reward from me, to teach you a lesson."
Yin's punch was no light one; the person hit immediately clutched his nose and collapsed, blood quickly flowing from between his fingers. It seemed that Yin's punch had really hit his nose hard.
As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. If your dog, which you let out, is beaten right under your nose, you're naturally not going to let it go.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? You lot, get him! If you don't beat this kid to a pulp today, none of you will get twenty lashes when you get back."
Seeing this person who dared to call him "Master," Yinzhen was so angry he laughed. Just as he was about to go up and teach him a lesson, he was suddenly stopped by Yinzhu from upstairs.
"Tenth Brother, wait a minute before you make a move. I'm really curious about whose family he is. Come on, tell me, what's your father's name?"
The person causing trouble downstairs looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as Yinzhuo. He had probably used his father's name to intimidate people quite a bit over the years. Upon hearing this, he immediately shouted loudly.
"My father is the current infantry commander, Tohqi. I'm asking you, are you afraid?"
