Chapter 127 Chapter 127 The little bastard has grown up, hasn't he...

I had breakfast with the two little ones.

Li Shuyao held An'er in her arms and examined his hands and feet, kneading them here and there. As she did so, she asked him, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Xiao An'er thought for a moment and said, "My brother built me a nest, and I fell asleep."

Li Shuyao understood immediately. Maybe they covered their heads with a quilt to simulate the scene inside the womb?

She had played like this with Yinzhen when he was little. She thought only little babies would remember these things, but she didn't expect that An'er, who was almost two years old, could also remember them?

She nodded and asked, "Your Highness is asking An'er if you feel any discomfort in your hands and feet when you sleep at night?"

An'er shook her head obediently: "No."

"That's good." After checking, Li Shuyao generously let him go, turned around and told Yinzhen to take his younger brother An'er to play on the amusement equipment in the yard before coming back.

"Your brother An'er has been lying in bed all year, so his hands and feet aren't strong enough. He needs more exercise every day. Also, you can't just play by yourself. Sometimes you have to stop and check if your brother is keeping up with you, okay?"

Yinzhen patted his chest and nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I have experience!"

What kind of experience? The experience of being teased by your younger brother Yinqi?

Li Shuyao wanted to speak but stopped, and stopped talking but still wanted to.

After a long while, she still said nothing and silently handed the little guy in her arms to Yinzhen's hands.

After playing a round, the two little cubs came back sweating profusely.

As soon as he entered the small room, Yinzhen asked Li Shuyao, "Mother, when will my brother Yinqi come over?"

Li Shuyao put down the chess piece in her hand and thought for a moment. "Your mother Yi said yesterday that she would take Yinqi to Shoukang Palace today to have your Royal Madam take a look. She will probably be back after lunch, so she should come in the afternoon."

Yinzhen nodded like a little adult, "Okay, I really want my brother to come over soon."

I want to ask my younger brother Yinqi to come and see this little sweet bean of my younger brother An'er, and compare them to see which sweet bean has the sweetest mouth and is the best at talking.

Li Shuyao didn't answer, but handed over the two small cups at hand.

As she was watching the cubs gulp down water with great interest, someone suddenly came to announce, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the eldest prince and the crown prince are here."

Just as the palace servant finished speaking, another young eunuch ran over from behind, "Your Majesty, not only the eldest prince and the crown prince, but also the second and third princesses, the third and fifth princes have come as well and are waiting at the door."

Li Shuyao was shocked. What was going on?

How come there are so many puppies all of a sudden?

How could she take care of it?

"Please invite them in."

As he spoke, he hurriedly put on his shoes.

Yinzhen put down the cup and excitedly came to An'er's side, "Brother An'er, it's my brothers and sisters who are here."

"Brother, sister?" Xiao An'er looked confused.

Does he have so many brothers and sisters?

How come I've never seen that before?

Yinzhen just said this to him, then he waved his little hands happily, shook his head and ran to the door to greet his brothers and sisters.

As happy as a little bird about to return home.

The joy in his voice was palpable.

“Big Brother!”

"Brother Prince!"

"Second sister, third sister, third brother, fifth brother!"

"You're all here!"

"Are you here to see your brother An'er?"

Among the legion of people who came, only the eldest prince and the crown prince had left the palace to visit Xiao An'er.

The others were full of curiosity about this cousin, and also a little bit afraid. If it weren't for their mothers' instructions, they probably wouldn't have come in such a complete group.

They were greeted by "Happy Bird" Yinzhen and led into the side room of the main hall of Changchun Palace.

Then he politely bowed to Li Shuyao, "Your mother."

Li Shuyao dodged to the side before nodding and smiling at them, "Here you are."

She asked, "Why are you all here suddenly?"

The little kids looked at each other, not knowing how to explain.

Fortunately, the eldest prince spoke up to help, "We are here to see our younger brother An'er."

He and the Crown Prince had left the palace several times to visit Prince Chun's mansion. Although he had only met him twice, he was still full of concern for this cousin.

As soon as they heard that Ukuma had sent someone to Li Shuyao, they immediately agreed to come and visit together.

Unexpectedly, I became so in tune with my younger brothers and sisters.

After the eldest brother finished speaking, he took out a long box from his sleeve, squatted down and handed it to An'er. With a gentle expression, he said with a smile: "This is a gift from the eldest brother to An'er. An'er, open it and see if you like it?"

It’s big brother!

Xiao An'er obviously also remembered this older brother. His dark eyes lit up instantly, and his previous hesitation disappeared instantly.

He approached carefully, looked at his elder brother, then at the long box in his hand, pursed his lips, took it, and asked in a low voice: "Can I, can I open it?"

The eldest prince nodded, "Of course, this was originally meant for you, An'er."

The little prince also came over, holding a square box in his hand. Judging from its pattern and decoration, it should have been made by the same craftsman as the long box that the eldest prince brought to An'er.

This shows that the relationship between the eldest prince and the crown prince is very good.

Li Shuyao was watching carefully from the side, feeling very sorry. He couldn't understand why a pair of brothers who were so close when they were young would fight to the death for a chair when they grew up.

While thinking, Xiao An'er had already taken the box from the Crown Prince's hand.

But he was too weak and his arms were too short. After holding two boxes at the same time, he had no free hands to receive more gifts or open the boxes.

But when the other little kids saw little An'er accepting the gifts from his two brothers, their eyes lit up. They took out the gifts they had prepared for An'er from their arms, sleeves, or pockets and swarmed forward.

"Brother An'er, this is a gift from me to you."

"This is mine."

"Mine, mine. Check mine first. My gift must be the best."

"What's the use of a stick? Brother An'er has to like it."

The last two sentences came from the Second Princess and the Fifth Prince, who were always noisy in Zhongcui Palace.

Among the three children in Zhongcui Palace, the Second Princess was the oldest. Before Yinzhi was born, she had only a sickly younger brother, Changsheng. Knowing that her mother worried a lot about this younger brother, the Second Princess developed an independent, quiet and obedient character since she was a child.

However, Yinzhi's arrival broke all the tranquility, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

During the time Yinzhi returned to the palace, he could be considered the wildest child in the entire Forbidden City. His famous deeds include the following:

He took Changsheng to jump into the pond in the imperial garden to catch goldfish, but was beaten up by the second princess.

He dug up more than ten earthworms and threw them into Ergege's house in revenge. Ergege caught him on the spot and beat him up.

He took Yinzhen and Changsheng to compete in climbing the rockery barefoot, but was caught by Rongpin and the Second Princess and was beaten up again.

He did not give up and wanted to seek sympathy and help from his elder brother and the Crown Prince. He rushed all the way to the martial arts training ground and was almost trampled by a frightened horse. After returning to Zhongcui Palace and finally healing his wounded heart, he was punched several times by the Second Princess the next day, under the pretext of teaching him a lesson.

Either he was getting into trouble or on his way to being beaten by the Second Princess.

If it were another child, he would probably hold a grudge against his sister.

But Yinzhi was very generous and thought that he had never heard of a child in the world being beaten to death by his own sister.

So the more impatient the Second Princess was with him, the more he wanted to provoke her, turning the Second Princess, a quiet little princess like a flower, into a little loli with an iron fist.

But in fact, there are also good influences. For example, Changsheng, under the guidance of this younger brother, becomes more and more lively and cheerful day by day.

I exercise more and my health is getting better. I don’t get sick so often anymore. I guess I can survive.

Rongpin finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned a blind eye to Yinzhi's mischief. After all, no matter how naughty he was, he had a sister who could control him. Why should she worry about it in vain?

It looks like they are about to fight again.

Li Shuyao spoke at the right time, "Ahem, you guys shouldn't get so close to An'er. He's timid, and it would be bad if he gets frightened."

As soon as he heard the word "timid", Yinzhi's eyes lit up.

He clasped his hands in a "Congratulations and Get Rich" gesture and moved closer to Li Shuyao. "Your Majesty, does your younger brother An'er need a playmate?"

What kind of playmate? A playmate who accompanies you to the rockery and into the pond in the imperial garden?

I'd still rather decline your offer.

Li Shuyao rejected him very coldly.

Yinzhi still did not give up, "How can it be possible for brother Yinzhen to play alone? Children need many good friends to play with them."

"Mother Ling, look at my brother, isn't he the best example?"

Li Shuyao looked at Xiao Changsheng, who was scratching the back of his head and smiling shyly with his lips pursed, not far away. After thinking about it, she felt that it was a good idea.

As long as he doesn't go to those dangerous places and just follows Yinzhi around the Forbidden City, maybe An'er's health will really get better... right?

Li Shuyao was rarely uncertain.

Yinzhen saw his mother's wavering mind, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He hurriedly squeezed through the group of children and ran to Li Shuyao, "Mother, mother can't agree to this!"

"If you leave brother An'er to Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother will definitely play with him to death tomorrow."

Before he could finish his words, Yinzhi gave him a small fist on the head.

As soon as Yinzhi finished beating him, a delicate pink little fist fell on his head.

——It turned out to be the second princess Wulinzhu who came over.

A little while ago, she saw her brother running towards her mother with excitement on his face, and she knew that he was probably up to something bad again.

So he hurried over and stood quietly by to listen for a while.

Hearing that Ling'er's mother seemed somewhat moved, she felt secretly anxious. She couldn't really hand her cousin An'er over to Yinzhi!

Unexpectedly, before she could even open her mouth to refuse, Yinzhen noticed something was wrong and stopped her.

Seeing her younger brother punch Yinzhen on the head without hesitation in front of his biological mother, the Second Princess's fist immediately hardened.

The little bastard has grown up, hasn't he!
