Chapter 3 Chapter 3

The silver-gray moonlight hung in the sky, casting a silver shadow. The chirping of insects around became much quieter.

A cool breeze blew slowly, illuminating the brightly lit lanterns throughout the Ningshou Palace, causing them to sway slightly and dazzle people's eyes.

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of those who were present and could hear what was being said by everyone were almost unable to hold back.

From time to time, someone would cough, pick up the teacup and take a sip to hide their gloating.

Their eldest brother was truly miserable. He ended up like this. How could he have been deceived by someone and used witchcraft? In the end, he was even imprisoned.

You said to confine him, so just confine him, but you also want to have a child? This system is explained in detail, I'm afraid it was done on the scene?

The more he thought of this, the more gloating his eyes became when he looked at Yinzhen.

The moment Kangxi heard this, the fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly. He looked at Yinzhen, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, and then looked away without leaving a trace.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea to hide his shock.

If he followed the system, he could be sure that Yinzhen was one of the nine contenders for the throne.

Was he just imprisoned in the end? After using the witchcraft technique, he was only imprisoned. He was really good-tempered at that time.

Now that Yinzhen knows about this, will he still be involved in it?

If there is a system, is it necessarily true? This still needs to be verified, and we need to start from here.

Thinking of this, he looked at Fifteen, who was so shocked by the system's words that he forgot to bite his fingers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He didn't know what to do with this child. He was less than ten months old, but he was very organized. According to the system, he should not have drunk the Mengpo soup, right?

No matter what, they are his children.

But what on earth is this system?! Or what kind of monster is it?!

Actually bewitching people? !

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened considerably, but his face showed no sign of it. The people below were so busy and lively because of the festival that they didn't notice the undercurrents here at all.

Li Qijin's expression was almost uncontrollable. Saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he forgot to wipe it. He asked the 679 system in his heart: "Really? Why do I feel that being confined is quite good? Isn't this just retirement?"

"That's my wish. I want my cheap dad to pay no attention to me in the future, and my brothers to forget I even exist. I want to be rich and free, to eat, drink, and have fun. It would be best if I could just lie down and not move."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and then continued, "Of course I can't have children like Yinzhen did."

This kind of life is what he longs for most.

When he was doing internship, he experienced the cruelty of being a corporate slave. Now the system told him that after Yinzhi was imprisoned, he would just have to lie down for the rest of his life.

How could he not be tempted?

System 679 was moved by Li Qijin's words. He was silent for a long time before nodding in agreement in a childish voice, "So, Yinzhen's imprisonment is just an early retirement, which means he's already starting to enjoy his retirement. Doesn't seem so bad, does it?"

The 679 system's brain was a little confused. It was a system that was born at the same time as the host, but because the host was young and couldn't go out, it couldn't contact the triggering character, so it had been silent.

Listening to what the host said, I felt that his analysis made a lot of sense. Since I retired early, my life would be pretty good. Wouldn't I be happy and cheerful?

Li Qijin said in a childish voice, "There's a saying that goes 'far away smells good, near smells bad'. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so how can they not be friendly and respectful to each other when they meet again? Since they are friendly and respectful to each other, then my mission is accomplished, isn't it?"

System 679 was immediately more confused. He said uncertainly, "It seems so?"

Kangxi fell silent after listening to what Yitong said. Even if Shiwu didn't drink Mengpo soup, he seemed a little stupid. And with this system, his IQ should not be very high either.

If there was a reliable person among these people, I'm afraid such a result would not have been reached through discussion.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Li Qijin in her arms. She couldn't help but smile and praise, "This child is really well-behaved. Look at his cute face."

As he spoke, he took a piece of hard snack and placed it in front of Li Qijin, then teased him with a smile, "Little Fifteen, do you want some snacks?"

As soon as Li Qijin heard the word "snacks", her eyes suddenly brightened up. She didn't even notice the doubts of the 679 system. Looking at the snacks in front of her, she stretched out her chubby little hands, held the Queen Mother's hand, and put them into her mouth.

He shouted to 679 in his heart: "Grandma is so kind. She actually gave me some snacks. These snacks are something I can't usually get."

If anyone says that he is so old but cannot resist the temptation of a piece of dessert, let him fast for nine months and see. Not to mention dessert, even if you give him a roast chicken, he will eat all the bones.

The Queen Mother looked at Li Qijin's impatient look and couldn't help but chuckle.

Kangxi listened to Li Qijin's words and watched his movements. He immediately felt like teasing him. Before he even put the snack in his mouth, he stretched out his slender fingers and snatched the food from his mouth. He pinched the snack and put it into his mouth bit by bit. Then he said seriously, "Fifteen is still young and can't eat these things. Father ate them for Fifteen."

He turned to the Queen Mother and said with a bright smile, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Li Qijin watched helplessly as Kangxi snatched the snack from her hand. She was completely dumbfounded. Then, looking at the bright smile on Kangxi's face and the way he chewed the snack, she curled her lips and mentally yelled frantically to 679, "System, system, is this person really my father? Is he really my dad? He even snatched snacks from children! He's so mean."

He had never met Kangxi, and he didn't know that he was such a person, a bad guy who stole his snacks!

Yinzhi and others looked at Kangxi's childish appearance and their eyes widened. Usually, their father was majestic and in control of the overall situation, but now he was so proud of snatching Fifteen's snacks.

He even cursed me as a bad person in his heart, but he didn't care.

Is this still their Ama?

679 listened to his words and replied in a childish, mechanical voice: "Host, it's true, he really is your father, your father in this life. He stole your snacks, maybe because he's jealous?"

This cry of jealousy caused a cough to be heard from everyone who could hear what was being said by everyone.

Jealousy, this system is really brave enough to say such words to Fifteen.

What is there for their emperor father to be jealous of a fifteen-year-old baby?

Kangxi chewed the snack in his mouth and listened to the conversation between the two men. He couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth. As expected, his son was really his son, and he was a person who came from nowhere and was reincarnated into his Aisin Gioro family.

No matter who he is, since he has joined the Aisin Gioro family, he is his son!

Was he just here to eat the snack? What was so delicious about a snack? He just wanted to listen to the conversation between the two people.

This system is unreliable, even if it's a monster. They actually said he was jealous. What is there for him to be jealous of?

When Li Qijin heard this, his black glass-like eyes looked at Kangxi with suspicion. He took a bite of the snack and put it on the table beside him. He took a sip of the teacup, and under his gaze, he took it up again and took a bite.

He was drooling at the sight, and then he asked System 679 in a baby voice, "If I start crying now, will he give me the snack back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Kangxi almost laughed out loud with the snack in his hand. Under Li Qijin's eager gaze, he put the remaining snack in his mouth.

She looked at him with a smile on her lips.

The Queen Mother looked at Kangxi's childish appearance, smiled and shook her head, then looked at Li Qijin who was about to cry, and quickly took a piece of cut apple, put it in his hand, and smiled and comforted him: "Father is bad, let's ignore him and eat apples."

As she spoke, she glanced at Kangxi in a reproachful manner and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, too. I specially brought some harder snacks for Fifteen, but his two little baby teeth can't chew them at all."

"Let him nibble on it a little, it's okay."

When Li Qijin saw Kangxi put all the snacks in his mouth, she was ready to cry without waiting for 679 to speak. However, before she started crying, an apple appeared in front of her face.

He was afraid that Kangxi would snatch it away again, so before his little hand stretched out, he started biting it, and looked at Kangxi warily with his eyes that were like black grapes and filled with mist.

Then he held the apple piece held by the Queen Mother in his chubby little hands and chewed it happily with his two teeth.

The apple pieces were not very big, and his baby teeth could only leave a mark on them. Plus, he knew that if he took big bites, the apple would get stuck, so he used his teeth to grind it bit by bit.

679 looked at Li Qijin's actions and said softly, "I don't think you need to be so careful. The apple is all covered with your saliva. No one would want to snatch it away."

Li Qijin chewed on the apple for a while, then turned to look at Kangxi, who was already chatting and laughing with others. In her heart, she replied in a childish voice, "That's not necessarily true. What if he just has this habit?"

As he spoke, he said to 679 with some regret in his heart, "This apple doesn't taste very good. It's far inferior to modern apples. If I complete the mission, don't you think you will give me any reward?"

As soon as Li Qijin said this, 679 fell silent. Did he need a reward for completing a mission? Didn't the main brain tell him this?

Or did he forget something?

Li Qijin was immediately displeased when 679 didn't speak. She softly said in her heart, "Love makes people work instead of eating."

"679, you're not just working for free, are you? Look at the people in the palace. The maids, the eunuchs, even the night incense smokers, all have monthly salaries. You're working for free, and you want me to work for you for free?!"

679 fell completely silent. He hadn't really thought about this question before. After a long pause, he said silently, "I'll go ask."

Yes, he would go and ask, at least he had to get some salary. If he didn't have any salary, he would imitate the host and cry to the main brain.

Kangxi was a little surprised. He originally thought that Fifteen was not smart, but now it seems that the system is even less smart.

Thinking of this, he looked at the man who was happily chewing an apple like a little squirrel, reached out and held him in his arms, gently pinched his face, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "I didn't realize that this child looks really cute."

Then he asked the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, do you think it would be fun to keep someone in the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

This child has a system in his body, and it is unpredictable. Also, the matter of the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne has not been figured out yet, so he needs to keep someone by his side and keep an eye on him.

It would be best to keep the person in the Qianqing Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at Li Qijin's alert eyes as he was held in Kangxi's arms, and could not help but purse her lips into an amiable smile. She wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said to him, "Fifteenth Prince seems to be a well-behaved child."

He didn't say anything else, but his affection for her was evident.

The moment Li Qijin was held in Kangxi's arms, his eyes suddenly brightened up. He held the apple and ate it, and crystal clear saliva kept dripping from his chin. After a long while, his pair of bright black eyes blinked, and he looked up at Kangxi, grinning with a bright smile.

At this moment, Kangxi's whole body stiffened. He lowered his head and looked at the water stains on his thighs in the candlelight, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He looked up and met Li Qijin's cunning eyes, and immediately laughed out loud. This child's revenge came too suddenly.
