"No, I want to go out and play..."

As soon as the little fellow was carried back to the bed, he immediately rushed over and hugged Kangxi, calling in his ear in a long and babyish voice.

"Be obedient. I will take you there when I come back from court." After Kangxi finished speaking, he saw that he was still leaning on his back, so he slapped him on the butt with his backhand and said, "If you waste time again, you really can't go out."

Upon hearing this, Cheng An immediately got up from his back and even said, "I'll be obedient and take An An out to play when Ama comes back~"

As expected, he stopped pestering anyone after that. When Liu Cai came forward to help him put on his clothes, he put on his shoes himself.

Kangxi saw his performance out of the corner of his eye and felt a little amused.

During breakfast, although the little guy didn't speak any more, his eyes were always on Kangxi, as if he wanted to see him finish eating quickly.

After Kangxi noticed this, he was about to put down his chopsticks, but he insisted on eating another crystal steamed dumpling.

When the little guy saw him taking a long time to eat a dumpling, he poked a dumpling with his chopsticks and bit off most of it in one bite.

He deliberately amplified the sound, as if to remind Kangxi to watch how he ate.

Seeing that it was almost time to go to court, Kangxi was too lazy to tease him anymore and put down his chopsticks after finishing his crystal steamed dumplings.

The little guy saw that he had finally finished eating, and then stood up and said, "Father, you should go to court well~"

In the past, when Kangxi finished his breakfast and went to court, the little guy would usually continue eating for a while, so at most he would wave to him when he got up and left.

Seeing that he was still eager to see him off today, Kangxi glanced at him and said, "Do I need you to explain?"

"Ama, I will miss you~" The little guy was not afraid of what he said, and came over to hug his legs.

"It's more like you want me to come back soon so that I can take you out to play." Kangxi directly pointed out his little thoughts. After saying that he had no time to chat with him, he left Qingxi Book House with his people.

The place for court sessions in Changchun Garden is the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall. On the way there, Kangxi thought about the little guy's behavior when he woke up this morning, and the more he thought about it, the funnier it became.

So when he went to court, the ministers could all feel that he was in a good mood that day, and they gradually reported more and more things to him.

It was not until Kangxi realized that they had to talk about such trivial matters today, and thought that the little one was still waiting for him to go back, that he glanced down indifferently.

The ministers felt his gaze and began to calm down, and the court gradually became quiet.

After making sure that they had no other important matters, Kangxi signaled for the court to adjourn.

Qingxi Book House.

After breakfast, Cheng'an sat on his wooden horse and played at the gate, looking up from time to time. He ran around the area again and again, and finally waited for Kangxi to come back.

"Ama——"

The little guy shouted and pushed the wooden horse towards him, his voice full of excitement.

"How long has he been waiting at the door?" Kangxi walked closer and looked at Liu Cai.

Liu Cai: "In reply to the emperor, the young prince will come out to play after breakfast."

The little guy had already stood up from the wooden horse, walked forward, took Kangxi's hand and said, "Father, let's go~"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let me change my clothes first." Seeing that he was so impatient, Kangxi didn't want to say anything to him.

"Ama, you look great in this dress!"

The little guy didn't say this because he wanted him not to waste time changing clothes, but because he liked the color of the dragon robe, so he praised it sincerely.

"That has to be changed, otherwise everyone on the street will know that I am the emperor." Kangxi said lightly.

The little fellow asked in a baby voice, "What happened to the emperor?"

"Since you keep talking so much, do you still want to go out and play?" Kangxi asked instead of answering.

Of course Cheng'an wanted to go out and play, so he immediately covered his mouth with his hand to indicate that he would stop talking.

After Kangxi changed his clothes, the father and son could finally go out.

Yinreng and his companions had been waiting at the gate of Changchun Garden in advance. When they saw Kangxi's carriage approaching, they all saluted.

"Second brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, come up quickly~" the little guy shouted when he saw them.

Yinreng and the other two noticed his excitement and smiled slightly, thinking that he was happy today.

They looked at Kangxi and only dared to get on the carriage after getting his permission.

"Brother, are you happy to go out and play?"

Yinreng had just gotten into the car, and before he sat down properly, he caught the little guy who rushed towards him. When he heard his words, he smiled and nodded: "Happy."

After being released from the ban, probably in order to keep a low profile, Yinreng has never gone out alone. Basically, it's been as long as the little guy hasn't been on the street, and he is in a really good mood now.

"Who can be as happy as you?" Kangxi couldn't help but say as he thought about what had happened from this morning till now.

When the little guy heard his words, he smiled and showed his little milk teeth, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

Changchun Garden is located in the western suburbs of Beijing. If you want to go shopping, you have to go into the city first.

At this time, the city gate was very busy, with people coming in and out in an endless stream.

"Father, why is that man carrying so many branches?" When the little guy was leaning on the window and looking out, he noticed an ordinary citizen who was about to enter the city.

Kangxi followed his line of sight and glanced outside and said, "That's firewood. He wants to carry it into the city to sell it for money."

"Can branches be sold for money?" The little guy's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Ama, we have a lot of branches at home that can be sold for money!"

The flowers, plants and trees in Changchun Garden are all of top quality, and their prices are far beyond the reach of ordinary firewood. Hearing his words, Yinzhen almost laughed out loud, thinking that if the little guy were to do business with this idea, he would probably lose a lot of money.

"Even if you sell all the trees in Changchun Garden as firewood, it may not be enough for you to have a few meals." Kangxi poked his forehead and said unhappily.

The little guy tilted his head and looked at him: "Why?"

"Because firewood is not valuable, all the firewood that man carries on his back can only be exchanged for a few cents." After Kangxi said this, he thought that the man probably didn't know the value of a few cents, so he simply explained it to him again.

At the same time, he thought that after entering the city, he would let the little guy use his own money to buy some things and experience them for himself.

After hearing what Kangxi said, Cheng'an's tone was full of doubt: "Why would he sell firewood if it's worthless?"

"If you sell a little every day, it will add up to a lot." Kangxi said calmly.

As they were talking, the carriage had already entered the city. When the little guy heard the noise outside, he immediately stood up.

Yinreng quickly held him to his side and waited until the car stopped before taking him out.

The streets of the capital were as bustling as ever, with people coming and going and the sounds of hawkers hawking their wares could be heard from time to time.

The little guy hasn’t been out on the street for a long time, and now his eyes are a little short of sight.

Seeing that Yinreng couldn't hold him by himself, Yinsi took two quick steps over and took the little guy's other hand.

When the little guy noticed it, he looked up and smiled at him, then held his fingers.

Perhaps he was really too happy. He was not satisfied with just jumping all the way. Occasionally, he would hold his two brothers' hands tightly, curl up his feet and hang in the air, asking them to carry him.

"Walk carefully." Yinreng didn't think he was too heavy, but he was worried about tearing his arm.

Yinsi lowered his head and asked, "Do you want my brother to hold you?"

"I will go by myself~"

The little guy put his feet back on the ground and continued to walk with a bumpy and hopping manner.

"A big candied haws with thick sugar~"

When Cheng'an heard shouting from the front, his eyes were immediately attracted by the red candied haws on the straw target.

He probably knew who was the one who made the decision, so he let go of his two brothers' hands, ran to Kangxi, looked up and called softly, "Ama~"

"What's the matter?" Kangxi looked around the street casually without looking down at him.

"Ama, look at me!" The little guy held his hand and shook it.

Only then did Kangxi lower his head.

“I’ve grown up.”

Kangxi guessed that he must have something else to say, so he asked, "So?"

"I want to eat a whole string of candied haws." The little guy looked at him expectantly, blinking his bright eyes.

Seeing that he had not agreed to let him eat the candied haws, Kangxi directly raised the request and pinched his little face and said, "You are dreaming."

"Ama, you are the best..." The little guy shook his arm hard after hearing his words.

Even if they changed into casual clothes, they were still quite eye-catching when walking on the street, especially the little guy who was so good-looking that passers-by couldn't help but take a second look at him.

"Okay, take the money and buy it yourself." Kangxi said, and signaled Liang Jiugong to give him the silver.

Seeing that he agreed, Cheng An said something coquettishly and then ran to the man selling candied haws with the silver in hand, raised his head and asked, "Can I buy a string of candied haws?"

The middle-aged man selling candied haws saw this little customer coming to buy candied haws by himself and said with a smile: "Of course, I will pick the biggest one for you, young master."

The little guy's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised the silver in his hand and said, "Here's the money!"

"Oh, young master, I can't make change for this money." The candied haws seller saw that he was really likable and was about to give him a string, but the little guy had already run away.

"What should we do if Father can't find his money?" Cheng'an ran back and asked.

Kangxi said: "Just go to a nearby store and buy something to break it open."

When the little guy heard what he said, he just randomly found a store and ran into it.

Kangxi and the princes looked at him and saw that he was not afraid of people at all. No matter when he went to buy candied haws just now or when he came into the store to buy things, he was always very confident and had a smile on his face.

The little guy went into a study shop. He saw some brushes inside and held up some silver to the shopkeeper, saying he wanted to buy one.

With Liu Cai following two steps behind, the shop owner naturally did not dare to fool him just because he was young. He quoted the price of the brush seriously, took the silver he gave and then calculated the bill for him.

Cheng'an had seen abacus before, and he even had a golden abacus given to him by Yinzhen, but he still found it interesting to see the shop owner using an abacus.

The silver ingot the little guy gave was not small. After buying the brush, he got some loose silver and dozens of copper coins in change.

The shop owner probably thought it was interesting for such a small kid to come and buy things by himself, so he took the small basket on the counter where things were previously placed and put the change in it before handing it to him.

When the little fellow saw that he got back so much change after being given a piece of silver, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Father, look, I have so much money!" The little guy came out of the store holding the basket to share with Kangxi.

Kangxi glanced down and saw that there was less than one or two taels of silver in the basket, and thought that he was indeed quite "rich".

"Ama gives this to you~" The little guy showed him the money in the basket and handed him the brush he had just bought.

This brush is not expensive, but the workmanship is good. Kangxi took it and played with it in his hand.

After giving him the brush, the little guy immediately ran to buy candied haws.

The middle-aged man selling candied haws saw him coming over with the money and picked out the biggest string of candied haws for him.

"Father, look, brother, look, is my candied haws big?" The little guy started showing off after buying the candied haws.

"Let my brother hold the basket for you." Seeing that he was having some difficulty holding the candied haws with one hand, Yinsi spoke.

The little guy handed him the basket of money and put the candied haws to his mouth: "Myna, I'll give you one~"

Yinsi thought that he might not be able to finish such a big string of candied haws, so he opened his mouth and bit off the one on the top.

After he finished eating, the little guy held up the candied haws and wanted to give them to Kangxi and others.

Kangxi refused to eat it, but Yinzhen and Yinreng each ate one for him and left three for him.

After sharing, the little guy lowered his head and started to eat it himself. When he tasted the sweet taste of the sugar coating on the surface of the candied haws, his eyes curved.

Seeing that he was busy eating and not paying attention to the road, Yinreng reached out and held him in his arms.

When you grow up, you grow up. The little guy who used to take half a day to eat a candied haws in his hand now chews it with great crunch, and soon the candied haws in his hand is reduced to just a stick.

After the little guy finished eating and savored the food for a while, he reached out to carry the basket himself. Yinsi saw that there was still some sugar residue on the corner of his mouth, so he returned the basket to him and wiped his mouth.

Seeing that he was holding a basket of loose silver coins like a treasure, Yinzhen wanted to tease him. He asked someone to give him a few copper coins and said to him, "Cheng'an, how about I use these five coins to exchange for a piece of loose silver in your basket?"

Five for one sounds like a good deal, but the little guy didn't fall for it. Instead, he told him in a baby voice, "Silver can be exchanged for a lot of coins!"

Yinzhen just finished sighing in his heart that he was really hard to fool now that he had grown up, when he saw the little guy grab a piece of silver from the basket and hand it to him: "Here, Brother Nine~"

This piece of silver was worth about one penny, and there were not many in the little guy's basket, mostly copper coins.

Yinzhen was just teasing him, why would he want his money? He smiled and said, "Ninth brother, no, you can just treat me to a donkey roll."

There happened to be a stall selling donkey rolls next to it, and the owner’s shouting was very loud.

"Buy, buy two for Brother Jiu!" The little guy spoke with confidence, holding a basket of money.

Yinreng chuckled when he heard this: "You are very generous."

"I also bought it for my second brother, for my father, and for my eight brother~"

Kangxi looked at him and said, "Then how many will you buy for Father?"

"Father, just buy as many as you want to eat!" Cheng An said loudly.

When Kangxi heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

The stall owner selling donkey rolls saw a customer coming and greeted him warmly.

According to the stall owner, their family has inherited the craftsmanship from their ancestors and has been selling donkey rolls in Beijing for decades. His donkey rolls taste good, but they are still not as good as the imperial chef's.

But maybe it’s because the things bought with the little one’s money taste delicious. Both Kangxi and the princes thought that the donkey rolls tasted good after trying them.

There are a lot of delicious and fun things to do on the streets of the capital. From time to time, Yinzhen would pick out some inexpensive gadgets and let the little one spend money on them.

The little guy was very generous in taking out money at first, but when he found that the money in the basket was slowly getting less, he became a little reluctant. However, he was still willing to give money when Yinzhen asked him to, but his movements were obviously much slower.

When Kangxi and Yinreng saw this, they all found it a little funny and wanted to see when he would be unable to resist and reject Yinzhen.

Just when the little guy thought that his ninth brother was too greedy and wanted everything he saw, and couldn't help but walk faster with the basket, a person suddenly jumped out from the side and tried to snatch the basket from his hand.

Whenever Kangxi traveled, he was followed by countless people, both openly and secretly. Before this man could get close to the little guy, he was pushed to the ground by the guards hiding nearby.

The little guy was stunned for a moment before he realized that this person seemed to want to rob his money. When he lifted the basket and held it in his arms, he was also hugged into the arms of two Yinzhen who strode forward.

The man was a petty thief. When he saw the small change in the basket carried by the kid, he thought that a child of that age would be easy to rob. He thought that if he robbed the child and ran away, the child would surely be scared, and his family would be busy coaxing the child and would definitely not have time to chase him.

He had a good idea, but he didn't expect to be caught right away. He cursed inwardly that he was unlucky, but pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy: "I beg you gentlemen to forgive my mistakes. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. I really have no money to eat, so I was possessed by the devil and had such evil thoughts..."

Looking at his skilled appearance, he is obviously a habitual criminal. He enjoys good food and drinks when he succeeds, and acts pitifully when he fails and gets caught.

"Why don't you sell firewood if you have no money?" the little guy asked in a baby voice.

People tend to sympathize with the weak. When passers-by who had gathered around heard the gangster's pitiful words, they wanted to plead for him. But after the little guy spoke, they immediately started to look at the gangster again.

"Even a kid knows that if you don't have money, you can find ways to make it. You are so young and healthy, but you do something like this. It's really shameful."

"That's right. I just saw it. He was such a grown man and actually tried to rob a child of his money."

"I know this guy, he's not a good person..."

Seeing that the onlookers did not speak up for him but pointed fingers at him instead, the gangster glared at them with a somewhat ferocious look in his eyes.

Kangxi naturally would not waste time with such a person. He signaled the guards to take him to the yamen for a thorough interrogation and then take the little guy away.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

"Brother Jiu, why did that man want to rob me of my money?" Cheng An asked while holding a small basket.

"Because he is lazy and doesn't want to make money for himself."

Although he had escaped danger just now, Kangxi still reflected on it and felt that he could not let the little guy walk away with the money in such a blatant manner.

Yinzhen probably thought so too, and he never let the little guy go to the field, and even spent money faster.

There wasn't much money left in the basket, and if you really wanted to spend it, it would be quick. Soon the little guy found that there was only one copper coin left in the basket, which was not even enough to buy candied haws.

"Father, I'm now a pauper!" The little fellow couldn't help but said to Kangxi while holding the copper coin.

Seeing that he had not rejected Yinzhen just now, but now he was talking to him, Kangxi said calmly, "Who told you to be generous?"

"You still have a penny, so how can you be considered a pauper?" Yinzhen lowered his head and said to him with a smile in his tone.

"But you can't even buy a candied haws with one penny..."

"Brother Jiu, I have five more cents here. Give it to you." Yinzhen handed him the five cents.

Six coins was more than enough to buy a candied haws. The little guy smiled immediately after taking it: "Brother Jiu, you are so nice~"

"Then will you give your money to Ninth Brother next time?" Yinzhen saw that he was coaxed by five cents, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.

"Give it to me!"

Kangxi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, thinking that he was indeed still young.

After walking around the street for quite a while, the group decided to find a restaurant to sit down and rest and have lunch.

Yinzhen remembered that there was a restaurant owned by his family on this street, so he simply held the little one in his arms and led the way.

Before we reached the restaurant, an old man carrying a shoulder pole in front of us stumbled accidentally, and many persimmons in the baskets on both sides fell out.

The old man quickly put down his carrying pole and bent down to pick up the persimmons with a look of heartache. However, some people passing by did not even try to avoid him, and not only did they step on the persimmons, they also almost stepped on the old man's hand.

The little guy was attracted by the red persimmons in the basket just now. Seeing this scene, he twisted his body and went down to the ground, and ran over to help pick up two persimmons.

"Here you go~"

The old man saw the fair and tender little kid helping him pick persimmons and couldn't help but smile kindly: "I'll give them to you to eat."

When the little guy saw him picking up all the broken persimmons on the ground, he shook his head, put the persimmons in his hand back into his basket, and continued to help him pick them up.

When he started, Liu Cai and others immediately came to help, and soon all the persimmons on the ground were picked up.

Of course, it’s impossible to pick up the ones that have been trampled to pieces.

After thanking the kid, the old man picked out the biggest and cleanest persimmon from the basket and insisted on giving it to the kid.

The big red tomatoes gave off a sweet fragrance. Cheng An held the tomatoes in one hand and took out the six cents he had left with the other hand and gave them to him.

The old man didn't want it at first, but the little guy imitated his actions just now, stuffed it into his hand, and got up and ran away.

When Yinzhen picked him up again and continued walking forward, the little guy held the persimmon in his hand and showed it to him and Kangxi.

"You don't want to eat candied haws anymore?" Yinzhen asked with a smile when he saw him exchange the last six cents for persimmons.

"You can't eat too much candied haws~" The little guy said, then remembered and asked Kangxi while holding a persimmon, "Father, can I have this?"

"After lunch."

After getting the answer, the little guy shook his head happily, and occasionally lowered his head to sniff the persimmon in his hand.

Seeing that an ordinary persimmon made him so happy, Kangxi reached out and touched his little face.

"Ama, smell it, it smells so good~"

Now is the season for eating persimmons. You can smell the sweet fragrance of ripe persimmons without having to smell them specifically.

Kangxi nodded slightly to indicate that he smelled it, and the little guy turned around and asked, "Second brother, Eighth brother, do you want to smell it?"

"Why don't you tell your second brother to take a bite?" Yinreng asked with a smile.

"Ama said we can only eat after lunch..."

As they were talking, the group had already entered the restaurant. When the restaurant owner saw Yinzhen, he immediately bowed and came out to greet him.
