After all, they grew up together, so Yinzhen reminded Yin'e that it would be better for him to write two memorials, one to apologize and the other to describe what he saw and heard in Great Britain, and send them back in advance to at least ease the emperor's anger.

"Brother Jiu, you still have me in your heart!" Yin'e was moved when he heard his words, and opened his arms to hug him while speaking.

Yinzhen showed a look of disgust and was about to push him away, but the little kid on the opposite side of the carriage saw them and thought they were playing, so he excitedly rushed over and opened his little arms to hug them both at the same time.

Seeing him coming, Yin'e didn't dare to use force anymore, for fear of pushing him down. He could only turn around and glare at Yin'e: "Let go!"

Yin'e laughed and let go of him, then turned around and hugged the little guy in his arms and said, "We caught a little scoundrel who fell into our trap!"

"An'an is not a little bad guy!" Cheng'an struggled in his arms, and said to Yinreng, "Second brother, please save me~"

Although he knew that Yin'e was joking with him, when Yinreng saw the little guy reaching out to him, he immediately took the child and patted Yin'e on the side.

Yin'e, who was being photographed, wanted to say something, but when his gaze swept over him, he was ultimately too angry to speak.

Kangxi was still waiting in the capital, so they did not dare to stop for long along the way. They tried to hurry on their way while ensuring that the little one would not feel uncomfortable.

With his three older brothers accompanying him and thinking about seeing his father again when he returns, the little guy did not feel any discomfort along the way. Instead, he was happy because he could taste the delicacies along the way from time to time.

"Have you arrived in the capital?"

This is a question the little one asks every day, but it is not that fast to get from Tibet to Beijing, especially since they are riding in a car instead of on horseback.

The weather had started to get cold when they just left Tibet, and after traveling for a while, they had already changed into thick clothes.

“Soon.”

"Tenth brother always says it will be soon." Perhaps because he had heard these two words too many times, the little guy couldn't help but puff up his cheeks slightly when he heard them again.

Yin'e stretched out his hand and pinched him: "How dare you find fault with Brother Ten?"

The little guy thought of the delicious food he bought for himself along the way, threw himself into his arms and shook his head, saying, "An An, there's nothing~"

After making a fuss in his arms for a while, the little guy leaned close to his ear and said, "Tenth brother An'an still wants to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts..."

Yin'e glanced in Yinreng's direction and whispered in his ear, "Wait until we get to the next town and I'll buy it for you."

The reason why the two of them were so sneaky was because the little guy never stopped talking along the way.

At first, Yinreng felt sorry for him because he had to suffer and become thin, so he let him eat. But one night he found him eating under the quilt before going to bed. He suddenly felt that it was not good to let him do whatever he wanted, so he started to control him again.

He was much more relaxed than Kangxi, at least he didn't go into detail and stipulate the amount of food the little guy should eat every day. But for the little guy who was used to eating all the time, he always couldn't help but be greedy.

Yin'e himself also loves to eat, so he and the little guy hit it off perfectly in this regard.

He did what he said. When they arrived at the next town, he secretly asked someone to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts, and during the break, he took the little one and hid to eat them secretly.

After finally finding the little guy, Yinreng wished he couldn't let him leave his sight for even a moment. At this time, Yin'e taking him to steal food was a wrong idea.

“It’s delicious~”

Yin'e didn't dare take the little guy far away, so he found a deserted corner and peeled the still hot sugar-roasted chestnuts to feed him.

When Yinreng came over, he saw a big and a small person squatting in the corner with their heads touching.

"What's so delicious?"

Hearing this voice, Yin'e's hand froze as he was about to peel the second chestnut, but the little guy continued unconsciously, "Sugar-roasted chestnuts are delicious~"

Cheng'an reacted only after he finished speaking. He looked up and saw that it was indeed his second brother. He stood up and wanted to run.

"Why are you running?" Yinreng grabbed him into his arms.

The little fellow who didn't run away immediately said in a baby voice: "An An is wrong..."

Seeing that he was hanging his head and didn't dare to look at him, Yinreng reached out and rubbed his head: "Second brother is not stopping you from eating, but everything is excessive. What if you get a stomachache? Do you want to take medicine?"

"Don't take the medicine!"

After Yinreng finished explaining the situation to him, the little guy still got to eat some sugar-roasted chestnuts in the carriage, although there were only a few of them.

However, Yin'e was stared at by Yinreng as he ate the remaining sugar-roasted chestnuts, under the pretext that they should not be wasted.

Yin'e felt that he was targeting him, but Yin'e didn't dare to say it. He could only peel the chestnuts and eat them himself while passing them to Yin'e.

Considering that he peeled it with his own hands, Yinzhen reluctantly helped him with part of it.

By the time we got near the capital, it had already started snowing.

The little guy gets excited when he sees snow. He always wants to reach his hands out of the window to catch snowflakes and play with them. He even insists on making a snowman when the car stops.

Yinreng originally didn't want him to play in the snow. After all, being outside was different from being in the capital, and he was afraid that he would catch a cold.

But the little guy was very clingy, so in the end I could only build him a palm-sized snowman to play with.

The temperature inside the carriage was high, and the little snowman melted after a short while of playing with it. Yinreng and the others could only coax him back to the palace and then build a big one for him.

Their speed was not too slow, but by the time they arrived in the capital, it was already the end of the year.

This time, before Cheng'an could ask again, Yinreng took the initiative to tell him: "We have arrived in the capital."

"Ama, An An wants Ama!" The little guy jumped up excitedly when he heard his words.

From Great Britain to Tibet, and then from Tibet to the capital, he had not seen Kangxi for a long time. If it were not for his brothers comforting him, he would have cried long ago.

"We have just arrived in the capital but not the palace yet. Please wait a little longer." Yinreng quickly hugged the person and coaxed him.

It was the end of the year, so Kangxi naturally returned to the palace from Changchun Garden, so the carriage went directly to the direction of the imperial palace.

As the carriage entered the capital, Yin'e began to get nervous and even wanted to get off the car and hide back in his mansion.

"What should I do, Brother Nine?"

Yin'e had committed many crimes before, but he was never as scared as he was this time. He couldn't help but hug Yin'e's arm and said.

"What else can I do? I just have to admit my mistakes and accept the punishment."

In the same carriage, Yin'e was nervous because he was about to meet Kangxi, but the little guy was excited about it.

Yinreng looked at the little guy jumping around, but he was not so optimistic. After all, based on his understanding of the emperor, the main cause of this incident would definitely be blamed on Yin'e, but the little guy might not be able to escape. As for Yin'er, he might be blamed, or he might make up for it by taking good care of the little guy in Great Britain.

Thinking of this, Yinreng lowered his head and whispered in the little fellow's ear: "Cheng'an, when you see the Emperor later, remember to be sweet-mouthed..."

"Why?"

"Because the emperor hasn't seen you these days, he must miss you."

The little guy nodded: "I miss Ama too!"

When Yin'e heard their conversation, he wanted to say that he was also okay with sweet-talking. If he spoke sweeter, would the emperor let him go?

In other words, he was very self-aware and did not ask, otherwise Yinzhen would definitely not mind telling him the answer.

The Imperial Palace.

Kangxi had received the news that they had arrived outside the capital as early as today after he left court, so he was somewhat uninterested in state affairs afterwards.

"Liang Jiugong, go see where the people are."

“Yeah.”

Liang Jiugong left and came back soon, saying that they had arrived at the palace gate.

Kangxi was both a monarch and a father, so it was not appropriate for him to personally go to greet the younger generation. However, after learning that they had already started to enter the palace, he could not help but stand up and said, "Follow me to walk outside."

Liang Jiugong knew it very well. He didn't want to go out for a walk, but he was obviously unable to sit still.

But if you think about it, it is understandable. After all, this is the first time that the little prince has been away from the emperor for such a long time since he was born.

The weather was pretty good today, and Kangxi didn't walk far. He just wandered around the entrance of the main hall, and it was obvious that he had other intentions.

"Ama——"

Kangxi circled the door for a few times but didn't see anyone coming. Just as he was about to go in and wait, he suddenly heard a baby voice calling from behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a little guy in a red cloak running towards him quickly.

Kangxi subconsciously took two steps forward, bent down and hugged the person in his arms.

"Ama An An, I miss you so much!"

The little guy fell into this familiar arms again and couldn't help rubbing and crawling in his arms.

Seeing him return safely, Kangxi was happy at first, but then the anger that had been pent up for a long time began to rise.

There were many guards outside the door. Kangxi wanted to save some face for him, so he carried him into the palace and slapped him hard on the butt: "I told you not to run around! How old are you? You want to fly away? Don't you know that you should not travel far away while your parents are still alive..."

Cheng'an was immersed in the joy of finally seeing his father, and was suddenly hit like this. He was a little dazed. When he felt the pain on his butt, he burst into tears.

Yinreng and the others did not dare to run in the Qianqing Palace like him, and there was Yin'e who was deliberately dawdling there. When they reached the door, they heard Kangxi's scolding and the crying of the little one.

It’s over…

When Yin'e saw that the emperor was willing to take action against Lian Cheng'an, he felt like a disaster was about to happen.

After the three men entered the hall, Yinreng bowed and reported, while Yin'er and Yin'e bowed and apologized.

Kangxi had originally decided to spank the little guy when he came back, so that he would know what he could and could not do. But after hearing his crying, the second slap was much lighter: "How dare you cry!"

"Wuwuwu... Ama doesn't like An An anymore, wuwu..."

"Stop complaining to me first!" Kangxi said, but he was reluctant to continue attacking him, so he turned around and looked at his sons below.

He first asked Yinreng to stand aside, then glanced at the remaining two sons and asked them to tell the whole story in detail.

Although he had received Yinzhen's letter before, as well as their reports on what they had seen and heard in Great Britain and their memorial of apology, Kangxi still wanted to know more clearly about the little guy.

After Yinzhen and Yin'e had explained how they would cruise the lake, fly to Great Britain, and then fly to Tibet, Kangxi asked Yinzhen to stand up as well.

Generally speaking, this matter was caused by Yin'e's nonsense, and the action was done by Cheng'an. The most that Yin'er could be said to have failed to stop the two of them.

But he couldn't stop that situation, and fortunately he was there, so the little guy didn't have to wander in the West without being able to speak the language. In addition, the memorials and book lists about Great Britain that he had asked someone to send back in advance could make up for that mistake.

When Yin'e was the only one left on the ground, Kangxi became angrier the more he looked at him and couldn't help but kick him.

He was still holding the little guy in his arms, so he didn't have to use too much strength. However, Yin'e was not prepared for him to "take action" himself, and was kicked to the ground.

Speaking of which, the last time Kangxi personally took action against his son was more than ten years ago, when he almost drew his sword to kill Yinzhen.

However, that time, many princes pleaded for Yinzhen, but Yin'e was not so lucky this time.

Cheng'an was still crying, but suddenly he saw his tenth brother being kicked away by his father. He opened his mouth and dared not cry anymore.

Just now he just felt wronged, but now he saw that his father not only hit him, he immediately realized that his father was really angry.

Yinreng felt a little distressed when he saw him crying, but now he found it somewhat funny when he saw that he was too scared to cry.

"Ah... Father, don't be angry. Brother Ten knows he was wrong." The little guy sniffed and said in a crying voice.

When Kangxi heard his words, he lowered his head and looked at him, his tone revealing displeasure: "I haven't settled your account yet, and you still have the mind to plead for others!"

Seeing that Cheng'an still spoke up for him, Yin'e thought that his younger brother was the best. However, when he heard that the emperor was venting his anger on him, he quickly got up and apologized again: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, emperor."

It was the first time that the little guy was treated so harshly by him. He felt a little scared and wronged. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to. Tears welled up in his eyes: "An An also knows that he was wrong. Ama, don't be angry, wuwuwu..."

When he said this, he couldn't help crying again.

Seeing him crying so pitifully, Kangxi's anger was extinguished, especially when he found that he seemed to have lost some weight.

"What's so good about being outside? Look how thin you've become after going out?" Kangxi's tone was still fierce, but his hands were already wiping away his tears.

The little guy probably noticed that his attitude had softened, and immediately moved closer to his arms and started crying: "Wow... An An misses Ama..."

When he said this, people who didn't know would think that he wanted Kangxi to lose weight.

To be honest, after eating so much all the way from Tibet to Beijing, the little guy has gained back the weight he had lost, but he still looks a little thin, probably because his old father thinks he is too thin.

It must be said that when Kangxi heard this, his tone was not so harsh: "You are still running around because you miss me? You are really capable. You even ran directly to Great Britain..."

“Wuwuwu…”

"Why are you crying? If you keep crying, I'll beat you up." After scolding him, Kangxi saw that he was still crying and threatened him.

The little guy probably realized that he was really going to hit him this time, and his crying suddenly subsided.

After teaching him a lesson, Kangxi looked at Yin'e again and said, "I am too lazy to say anything more about you. Go down and receive fifty lashes of the cane. Copy "Be Careful in What You Say and Do" a thousand times and the Analects of Confucius a hundred times. You will be confined to your room for three months after the New Year."

Perhaps because he had scolded him too many times and he still didn't learn his lesson, Kangxi didn't want to waste any more words and was ready to use severe punishment to make him remember.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have already admitted my faults. My elder and second brothers also taught me a lesson when we were in Tibet. I beg Your Majesty to be lenient with me."

If it was just copying books and house arrest, Yinzhen would definitely not care, but when he heard that there were still fifty lashes, he quickly pleaded for him.

The little guy was still sobbing quietly in Kangxi's arms. After hearing what Yinzhen said, he realized something and raised his head and said in a crying voice, "Auntie, please don't hit Brother Ten, okay?"

The little guy's eyes and nose are red after crying, and he looks so pitiful.

Yinreng didn't want to plead for Yin'e at first, but when he saw the little guy crying like this and still thinking about him, he started to speak: "Tenth brother has admitted his fault, please be lenient with me, Father."

"He dares to make mistakes again and again just because he relies on you to protect him." Kangxi said, poking the forehead of the little guy in his arms.

Yin'e has been a troublemaker since he was young. When he was together with Yin'er, he often caused trouble in the palace when they were young. After he grew up, he was probably under the supervision of Yin'er and Yin'er, so he became much more restrained.

However, with the birth of Cheng'an, probably because the little guy was favored and would protect his brother, Yin'e became more and more self-indulgent. Of course, in the eyes of Kangxi, he was getting worse and worse.

The little guy hugged his hand that was poking him, raised his head and put his little face against his face, and said in the tone that everyone usually used to coax him: "It will hurt if you hit Brother Shi, Ama, don't hit him, An An will show you Bai Bai, okay?"

Seeing him rub his still-undried tears onto his face, Kangxi gently pushed his little head away and asked, "What is Baibai?"

After saying that, he took the warm towel handed over by Liang Jiugong and wiped the little guy's face.

"Bai Bai is a Saker Falcon!"

A child is a child. He was crying just now, but when the topic of interest is brought up, his expression becomes lively again.

"Where did you get the Saker Falcon?" After wiping his face, Kangxi waved his hand to signal Yinreng and Yinzhen to get up.

Seeing that the little fellow seemed to have hope of getting mercy, the two men bowed silently to express their gratitude and stood up.

"Baibai was sleeping in the grass. An An saw it, and Fourteenth Brother said it was injured..." After the little guy finished speaking, he pointed outside to show him.

Having beaten and scolded him, Kangxi was reluctant to do anything to him anymore, especially when he saw that he had become so thin and thought that he must have suffered a lot outside.

Seeing that he insisted on showing him the Saker Falcon, Kangxi carried him to the door.

"Bai Bai, where are you?"

The Saker Falcon's wound healed halfway through the journey, but it did not fly away. Instead, it kept following the little guy. However, after its wound healed, it could not stay in the carriage and basically hovered in the sky.

“Tsk——”

Just as the little fellow finished shouting, a Saker Falcon's cry was heard from above the Qianqing Palace, and then a white figure swooped down, looking very handsome.

Kangxi was very fond of the Gaker Falcon and once wrote a poem about it: "There are three hundred and sixty feathered insects, and the Gaker Falcon is the most handsome."

When Kangxi saw the snow-white Saker Falcon with a jade beak and jade claws flying down from the sky, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Dad, look, this is Baibai~" the little guy said, pointing at the Saker Falcon.

When Kangxi heard his words, he couldn't help but rub his head: "Why did you choose such a name..."

Obviously, he felt that such a soft name was not worthy of this handsome Saker Falcon.

"It's Baibai~" the little guy said and waved at the Saker Falcon.

The Saker Falcon wanted to get closer to him but seemed afraid of hurting him, so it finally flew up and landed on the windowsill next to it.

Kangxi held the little fellow in his arms and walked to the window. He looked at the Saker Falcon from a close distance and liked it more and more.

"Father, Baibai also likes to eat meat~" the little guy said, and took out a piece of dried meat from the pouch on his waist and handed it to him.

Although such a small piece of dried meat was not enough for the Saker Falcon to eat, Baibai still opened his mouth to take it immediately, and was careful not to touch his little hand.

When he saw it eating the dried meat, the little guy immediately curved his eyes and shared with Kangxi: "Ama, look~"

Kangxi looked at him, but he was not looking at the Saker Falcon eating the dried meat. Instead, he looked at the bulging pouch on his waist: "Where did you get so much dried meat?"

When the little guy heard his words, he remembered that his father didn't let him eat so much dried meat, and he covered his purse with his little hands in an attempt to hide his mistake.

Later, Yinreng and Yin'er looked at each other and realized that something was wrong. They had forgotten to take off the purse containing dried meat from the little guy before entering the palace.

Yinreng was indifferent to Yin'e's punishment, but he couldn't bear to see the little guy get punished again, so he stepped forward and said, "In reply to your Majesty, I saw that Cheng'an had lost weight, so I gave him the dried meat because I wanted him to eat more to replenish his body. But he didn't eat much, and basically fed it to Baibai."

The little guy did feed Baibai a lot, so Yinreng was not lying.

When Kangxi heard this, he immediately stopped asking about the meat jerky and asked, "When you saw him, wasn't he even thinner than he is now?"

"When I saw him in Tibet, his face had become much thinner," Yinreng said.

"You only stayed in Great Britain for a few days, how come you are so thin?"

Kangxi didn't bother to look at the Saker Falcon for a moment, but instead touched the little guy's face with heartache.

When the little fellow heard what he said, he immediately looked up and told him in a baby voice: "The food in Great Britain is not tasty!"

Although he was picky about food, he was picky about meat and vegetables. Generally speaking, he liked to eat anything with meat. When Kangxi heard what he said, he couldn't help but wonder how bad the food in Great Britain could be that even such a food-loving little guy said it was not tasty.

"Let's see if you dare to run around again next time!" Kangxi patted his little butt gently, thinking that he was just asking for trouble.

The little guy hugged his neck and leaned on his shoulder, his tone revealing dependence: "An An misses Ama in Great Britain, and even sees Ama when he sleeps..."

"Those few nights, he missed the Emperor so much that he cried in the middle of the night. I had no experience the night before and didn't know how to comfort him." Speaking of Great Britain, Yinzhen couldn't help but say.

When Kangxi heard these words, his heart softened a little. He touched the little head in his arms and said, "Who told you to run around? Even if I wanted to find you, I couldn't find you."

Thinking that he had run so far, if he could not come back on his own, he would not be able to find him even if he sent people to search the entire Qing Dynasty. Kangxi hugged him tighter with some fear.

While this side was becoming more and more affectionate, Yin'e on the other side was kneeling in great pain, and he quietly moved twice while Kangxi was not noticing.

Fortunately, the little guy still had him as his brother in his heart. After playing coquettishly with Kangxi for a while, he thought of him again and looked up and said, "Good father, can you not hit brother ten?"

After fifty lashes of the cane, Yin'e would probably be half dead. Besides, it was winter now. If he accidentally caught a cold while recuperating, the consequences would be disastrous.

Kangxi was just angry for a moment, but when he saw the little guy pleading for him again, he finally relented and said, "Remember the fifty lashes, and punish them together next time you make the same mistake."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!" Yin'e's legs were extremely numb at the moment, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that he had escaped fifty lashes.
