The Dragon Cub is a Qing Palace Group Pet

In the 55th year of Kangxi, the 24th prince was born.

No one knew that inside this little prince's body was actually a dragon cub that had just hatched from its egg.

While still in ...

Chapter 101

Before Kangxi came, he thought he would see an angry little guy. After all, he hadn't come back for a day and a night, and he was obviously very angry. But he didn't expect to see him studying obediently.

The little fellow's reading posture was quite serious. He sat behind the small desk that Yinreng had specially made for him, holding the book in both hands and nodding his head.

With this appearance, he would be praised by his master even if he were in the Shangshu's room.

Kangxi stood at the door and watched for a while. He felt a little jealous when he thought that he might not be so serious when he was teaching him to read.

"Your son greets the Emperor."

Yinreng noticed Kangxi's arrival and stood up and saluted.

Cheng'an, who was sitting with his back to the door, heard his father coming and habitually wanted to get up and rush over to him. However, when he remembered what happened yesterday, he just raised his little butt and immediately sat back on the stool.

Not only that, the little guy also started reading again, "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless..."

Seeing that he clearly heard that he was coming but pretended not to know, Kangxi thought that this little guy was quite good at making people angry.

"Why do I always hear these two sentences? Could it be that I can't learn anything else?" Kangxi said deliberately.

Cheng An was young after all, and he was not going to pay attention to him just now, but now he could not help but be provoked, "Who said that An An would know the waxing and waning of the sun and the moon, the stars in the sky, the changing of winter and summer, the harvest in autumn and the storage in winter..."

The little guy was angry when he said the first two sentences, but then he started shaking his head, which made Kangxi want to laugh.

When he couldn't recite anymore, Kangxi reached out and picked him up, praising him, "You recited well."

The little guy puffed out his chest and was happy for a second, but then his smile suddenly disappeared. He opened his little hands towards Yinreng and said, "Second brother, hold me..."

Yinreng did come forward, but since Kangxi didn't let go, he couldn't just go and take the person away.

"You ran away and never came back. I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you're still angry?" Seeing that he twisted his body to prevent him from hugging him, Kangxi wanted to slap him on the butt.

Seeing that he was still being mean to him, the little guy shouted, "I won't go back!"

Seeing that he dared to yell at him, Kangxi was about to scold him, but he noticed the aggrieved expression on his face, and his heart softened. Just as he was about to coax him, he heard him say, "Father is bad, he doesn't like An An..."

"When did I not like you?" Kangxi felt very wronged when he heard this.

He recalled what happened yesterday and confirmed that he had just said "Of course it's your nephew."

Kangxi even felt regretful in his heart, thinking that he should not have teased him so casually.

"You said you liked my nephew, and I like him even if you didn't say it!"

Upon hearing this, Yinreng could not help but look at Kangxi, thinking that there was no need for him to tease the little guy, knowing full well that he was young and might take it seriously.

"Then I don't mean to dislike you..."

Kangxi wanted to explain, but seeing how angry he was, he thought there was no point in arguing with him, so he coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I shouldn't have joked with you. I like Cheng'an."

The little guy would have been satisfied if he said that yesterday, but now he glanced at him with his little eyes and said in a baby voice, "Second brother said he likes Cheng'an the most!"

Yinreng saw that Kangxi subconsciously looked at him when he heard this, and gave him an innocent expression.

Back then, he was once Kangxi's eldest son, but at this moment, Kangxi couldn't help feeling a little disgusted when he saw him with this expression that only little guys can have.

Of course, only Kangxi himself knew whether this disdain was a form of venting his anger on others.

"Father likes you the most, okay?" Kangxi couldn't help rubbing his head as he spoke, thinking that he was the only one who talked about his love all the time.

If Cheng An was older, he might have found fault with his tone, but when he heard these words, the little guy finally smiled.

Seeing that he finally smiled, Kangxi felt uncomfortable.

"What about my little nephew?" the little fellow asked, looking up.

Kangxi didn't care about his "little nephew" at the moment. He just wanted to take this little guy back home as soon as possible.

"I am your father, not their father. They have their own fathers to like."

Cheng An was confused by this series of "Ama" and wondered, "Who are their Ama?"

"It's your fourth brother." Kangxi assumed that he was referring to Hongli and others, so he said.

"What about the second brother?" the little guy asked again, tilting his head.

Kangxi looked at Yinreng beside him, not understanding what he had to do here.

Yinreng guessed what he meant and said, "Your fourth elder brother is Hongli and Hongzhou, and your second elder brother is Hongxi, Hongxun, and Honghuang."

The little guy nodded, and suddenly hugged Kangxi and said, "Father is Cheng'an Father."

Kangxi chuckled when he heard this, patted his little butt and said, "That's good to know. It's time for you to go back with me."

After he finished speaking, he walked out holding the little one in his arms.

When Yinreng saw that they were about to leave, he asked someone to take the little guy's hidden knife and the wooden horse with him and saw them off personally.

Qingxi Book House.

After the father and son came back, they had their meal first. Cheng'an saw that the table was full of his favorite dishes and he couldn't help but exclaim.

This was what Kangxi had ordered to be prepared in the morning, thinking of coaxing him when he came back. In addition to these dishes, there were also his favorite pastries.

However, Kangxi thought about how he had to go to pick him up in person and coax him back for a long time, and he immediately felt that this dish should not be prepared.

He thought so, but when he saw the little guy eating happily, a smile appeared on his face.

After eating and drinking, Cheng'an played on the familiar Arhat bed for a while. Seeing that there were fresh fruits and snacks to eat, he felt even happier.

"Father is so nice~" The little guy came up to Kangxi with a piece of cake in one hand.

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but bring up the past: "Who said that my father was bad before?"

"It's not me!" The little guy shook his head and stuffed the cake in his right hand into his mouth, "Ama, eat cake~"

Seeing that he was trying to stuff his mouth with cakes, Kangxi glanced at him before reluctantly opening his mouth.

After finishing a piece of cake, Kangxi still didn't let him go, but continued to ask, "I heard that someone took a bag of dried meat yesterday?"

Dried meat is delicious, but eating too much will make you irritable, so when Yinzhen and others sent dried meat, Kangxi always stipulated that the little one should not eat too much.

The little guy is also obedient. On weekdays, he would occasionally eat one or two more pieces, and then wrap them directly in the lotus root like he did yesterday. If he is not angry, he would not dare to do so for fear of being scolded.

When Cheng An heard this, he paused for a moment while biting the cake, but when he thought about the fact that he gave the dried meat to his second brother, he immediately became confident and said, "It's An An, I gave it to my second brother!"

"I don't believe you didn't eat a single piece." Kangxi poked his forehead and said.

The little guy felt a little guilty after eating it, so he quickly took another piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, "This is delicious, Dama, eat it~"

Kangxi didn't really want to argue with him, so he reached out and took the pastry that almost hit his mouth, and said nothing more.

That evening.

"Father Hongli is the fourth elder brother, and Father my nephew is the second elder brother..."

Before falling asleep, the little guy rolled around in bed, mumbling to himself.

Kangxi sat on the edge of the bed, reading a book and stretching his legs to prevent himself from rolling to the ground.

"An An Ama is Ama~" After the little guy said this, he rolled from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed.

He lay in the corner of the bed and laughed a few times, then suddenly got up and came to Kangxi, "Ama, do you have an Ama?"

I didn't jump out of a rock...

Kangxi was quite speechless when he heard this, and couldn't help but tap him lightly with the book in his hand, "Of course I have it."

"Then who is your father?" the little guy sitting next to him asked curiously.

"My Royal Father is your Royal Father." Kangxi said, then thought about it and was too lazy to correct him and said he should call him "Royal Father".

"Huang Mafa? Ama is my nephew Huang Mafa?" Cheng An blinked. He had a good memory and remembered that his nephews seemed to call their Ama "Huang Mafa".

Kangxi nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Then where is An An Huang Ma Fa?"

"In the imperial mausoleum." Kangxi said, without giving him a chance to ask more questions, and said, "You should go to sleep."

"An An is not sleepy..."

"Then go play over there and don't disturb me while I'm reading." Kangxi waved his hand.

Seeing this, the little guy rolled over to the center of the bed.

Compared to the quietness of last night, the little guy was very noisy after coming back. Even in this environment, Kangxi was still turning the pages of the book.

"Ama Ama is the emperor's law..." The little guy muttered the common sense he had just learned while playing.

After a while, Kangxi's ears suddenly became quiet. He turned another page of the book and raised his eyes slightly, and saw the little guy sitting in the middle of the bed. He was obviously sleepy but he didn't lie down.

Kangxi found it interesting and simply stopped reading the book and just looked at him.

The little fellow's eyes were closed, but his head was swaying back and forth along with his body. It looked like he was about to fall down, but the next moment he sat up straight, swaying for a long time without falling down.

Seeing him like this and just saying he wasn't sleepy, Kangxi put down the book and prepared to hold him down and have a good sleep. However, in just a second or two, he finally couldn't hold on and fell down with a thud.

He suddenly fell down while he was in a daze. The little guy might have been a little scared and subconsciously opened his eyes and shouted "Ama..."

"Father is here." Kangxi quickly reached out and patted him gently. After the little guy closed his eyes and fell asleep again, he picked him up and put him in a suitable position for him to sleep well.

After that day, when the princes came to see Cheng'an, they would occasionally bring their own sons with them. Only then did the little guy discover that he had so many nephews.

The worst one was probably Yin'e, who deliberately reminded him that elders should give gifts when they meet younger ones.

Cheng'an is not stingy, but he is not as generous to his nephews as he is to his father and brother. He still feels a little reluctant to give them his golden and shiny self.

Of course, although he was reluctant, the little guy finally took out his treasures and gave one to each of his nephews.

Many of the little guy's nephews were older than him, so he didn't feel comfortable accepting the gift from him. However, he accepted it because it was a gift from an elder and he couldn't refuse it.

The brothers found it somewhat amusing to see him being reluctant yet generous enough to take out some of his most precious things, and later gave him some more to make up for the loss.

As the fragrance of osmanthus wafts through Changchun Garden, Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching again.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Kangxi was having his hair cut again, he thought of the problem of cutting the little guy's hair again.

As soon as he tried to raise his hand, Cheng An immediately covered his head and ran away.

So what?

Kangxi looked at his back and thought, but the little guy told him the answer directly by saying he would never come back.

If the little guy doesn't stay in Qingxi Book House, there are many places he can go. Not to mention the Queen Mother and his mother, even his brothers' places are enough for him to take turns staying at for more than half a month.

Kangxi realized that he hadn't asked him to shave his head immediately without him asking, but he ran away as soon as he tried to tell him. He couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been too indulgent towards him.

"That's outrageous! I think we should just have someone shave his head while he's asleep!"

Liang Jiugong, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to say, "That's it, how can you bear to..."

Kangxi was indeed reluctant to do so, and after he found time to go to Yinqi's place and bring him back, he never mentioned the matter of shaving his head again.

This time was different from the last time. When the little guy saw that he didn't ask him whether to shave his head or not, he waved to his fifth brother and immediately followed him back obediently.

The next day.

Except for winter, the little guy often wakes up earlier than Kangxi in the morning in other seasons, and today is no exception.

After waking up, he would not make any noise. He would either lie quietly or play with his little hands. Every time Kangxi opened his eyes and saw his well-behaved appearance, his heart would soften a little.

Perhaps it was because of this that Kangxi could never harden his heart towards him.

At this moment, the fair and tender little fellow opened his mouth and yawned, then turned over quietly, lay beside Kangxi's pillow, and looked at him with blinking eyes.

As he looked at it, the little guy couldn't help but be attracted by his forehead, which looked particularly smooth after being shaved yesterday, and quietly reached out his little hand to touch it.

Perhaps he thought it was quite funny, he laughed secretly while touching it, then touched his head with his other hand, and finally felt that having hair was better.

When Kangxi woke up, he felt a soft touch on his head. His first reaction was that the little guy was making trouble. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was him.

"Why, do you want to shave your head again?" Kangxi grabbed his little hand and said.

Seeing that he had been discovered and caught, the little guy immediately cried out, shouting, "No, I don't want to shave my head!"

Kangxi found that he seemed to like saying "no" recently. He often said "no" to whatever he said. He couldn't help but pinch his little face and said, "Why are you touching my head if I don't want to shave it?"

"I..." The little guy thought hard and finally came up with a reason, "I want to ask my father to get up and go to court!"

After saying this, he nodded heavily, as if to confirm his own words.

Kangxi would never believe him, and immediately slapped his forehead and threatened, "Just wait, I will shave your hair sooner or later."

"No, no!" Cheng An immediately sat up when he heard this, his little face puffed up slightly.

Kangxi was afraid that he would "run away from home" again like last time, so he stopped teasing him and stood up and said, "If you don't want it, then don't. I'm getting ready. Are you still going to sleep?"

The little guy shook his head and got up with him.

The days passed, and Mid-Autumn Festival came in a blink of an eye.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, but Yinzhi and Yinzhen were still dealing with follow-up matters in Tibet, so it was naturally impossible for them to come back to celebrate the festival.

In fact, for Kangxi and other princes, this was not a big deal, especially for those princes who had already left the palace. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace was just a formality, and they might celebrate it more attentively in their own homes.

Of course, this situation seems to have changed slightly after Cheng'an was born. At least now the princes are not as restrained at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet as in previous years.

"Who told you to take so many mooncakes?"

When it was time to eat mooncakes, Kangxi looked up to admire the moon for a while. When he looked down, he saw the little guy holding a plate filled with mooncakes.

Seeing his stern face, Yinreng said, "I will give it to him."

Kangxi glanced at him when he heard that, and because today was a festival, he was too lazy to say anything to them, but he signaled Liang Jiugong to take the plate from the little guy.

The mooncakes made in the palace are full of fillings. They are delicious, but not suitable for eating too much, especially for little ones like you who fill a whole plate.

When Liang Jiugong went forward and tried to coax Cheng'an into taking the mooncake plate from his hand, he held it in his arms and refused to give it to him.

"Be careful of getting a stomachache if you eat so many mooncakes." Kangxi spoke again upon seeing this.

The little guy immediately raised his head and said, "I don't want to eat!"

"If you're not going to eat it, what are you going to do with all that?"

"Leave it for Brother Da and Brother Fourteen!"

Not to mention Kangxi, even the other princes did not expect that he had to take the mooncake for this reason.

"How can we eat these mooncakes when they come back?" Kangxi watched him cut the mooncakes on the plate and reached out to rub his little head.

No one present needed a mooncake, but when they thought about how the little guy cared so much about Yinzhi and the others that he even thought of leaving some mooncakes for them after eating them, they couldn't help feeling a little envious.

"I would have gone there by myself earlier..." Yin'e thought that it was his credit for bringing Dai Zi back that made him win the "Qing Cannon", and he regretted not having fought for the job of transporting the cannon.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and thought that he was just good at talking. If he was really sent to the military camp, there was no way he could bear it.

"Then let them come back quickly!" the little guy said innocently.

Just to eat mooncakes?

Kangxi wanted to laugh when he heard his words, but thinking that he was at an innocent age, he did not preach to him. Instead, he said, "They have something else to do. Can I have someone make some mooncakes for you tomorrow?"

Although the little ones were a little disappointed that they couldn't come back, they nodded obediently when they thought about letting them eat the delicious mooncakes.

There was no need to keep any mooncakes, so Cheng'an took the mooncakes on the plate and shared them with his other brothers.

"You only thought of giving it to your tenth brother because your eldest brother and the others can't come back?" Yin'e was picky in his tone, but he took the mooncake faster than anyone else.

Seeing that he took the largest piece directly, Yinzhen reached out and broke off half of his piece.

"Brother Jiu, what are you doing? There's food on the plate..." Yin'e was halfway through his words when he saw that the plate was empty, so he changed his words and said, "There's food on the table, why are you trying to grab it from me?"

Yinzhen held up the small piece of mooncake in his hand and said, "I can't finish more, this is just right."

Upon hearing this, Yin'e raised the remaining mooncake in his hand and took a big bite.

The little guy saw him eating mooncakes and giggled while holding the empty plate.

Next to him, Yinzhen had just taken a piece of mooncake from the plate. Now that the plate was empty, he asked someone to take the empty plate away and broke off a small portion of the mooncake in his hand to give to the little one.

Cheng'an took the mooncake but didn't eat it immediately. Instead, he glanced at Kangxi first. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he leaned on Yinzhen and ate the mooncake while looking at the moon.

The moon was quite round, like a big mooncake that had not been cut in half. The little guy couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

The little guy smiled so sweetly that Yinzhen couldn't help but hold him on his lap after he finished the mooncake in his hand.

"Fourth brother, look!" After the little guy had looked at the moon enough, he stretched out his little hand and pointed at a particularly bright star in the sky.

Yinzhen looked up and said, "This is Ziwei Star..."

Ziwei Star is also known as the North Star. Since we are talking about this, Yinzhen will tell him how to determine the direction based on Ziwei Star.

"North~"

According to what he said, Cheng'an pointed in the direction of the stars and tried to identify them in a baby voice.

Yinzhi and his friends found it interesting and came over to teach the little one how to tell directions when there were no stars.

"Tenth brother tells you, the side with the sun is east, and the other side is west." Yin'e interrupted.

Yinzhen couldn't help but glance at him when he heard that. "Are you sure? What if it happens to be sunset?"

"Isn't it?" The little guy looked over.

Yinsi gently touched his head and told him, "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west."

"An An got it~" The little guy nodded, and soon ran to Kangxi to show off the common sense he had just learned.

"Ama, do you know which way is north?"

Of course Kangxi knew it, but the little guy didn't give him a chance to answer. He pointed at the North Star and taught him in a baby voice, "Look at that star, that's the north!"

"Ama, do you know which way is south?"

"I know..."

"Look, that's the South~"

"My brother said, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Ama, do you understand?"

When the princes saw the helpless expression on Kangxi's face, they all tried to hold back their laughter, thinking that only a little kid would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him.

Kangxi tried to interrupt at first, but then gave up. When he finally finished speaking, he reached out and touched his forehead and said, "I know. You are so smart!"

The little guy's head tilted back slightly after being poked by him, but he was still smiling, "Ama is also smart~"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at his brothers and praised them, "Brother is also smart~"

"See? Cheng'an is praising me!" Yin'e said, nudging Yin'er with his arm.

Yinzhen knew that he was thick-skinned and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

After admiring the moon for a while, when Kangxi left with Cheng'an, the princes also dispersed, but they all had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they had a good time during this festival.

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yinzhi, Yinzhen and others who were far away in Xining received belated mooncakes.

Even if they are away from home, they can still eat mooncakes during the festival. However, they are still very happy knowing that it is the little one who sends them the mooncakes.

Especially when Yinzhen received a letter from Yin'e at the same time, and saw the letter enviously describing how much the little guy thought about them at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

"This Tenth Master, I envy him for being able to celebrate the festival with Cheng'an!" Yinzhi couldn't help but say after hearing the contents of the letter.

Yinzhen also nodded, "That's right, I saw him say that Cheng'an has learned a lot now, but I haven't heard him study..."

They all felt fine on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now the mooncakes and Yin'e letter sent by the little one reminded them of their family.
