Cheng'an ran back and hugged Kangxi, buried his face in him and shouted in a baby voice: "Father, I was wrong, please don't punish me by not letting me eat cuckoo chicken, woooo..."

When the princes saw that he did not really run into the Empress Dowager's palace, they all felt relieved for him.

After all, if he really dares to do that, the consequences will only be more serious.

Kangxi could still tell whether the crying was real or fake, but considering that he came back on his own initiative, he finally gave him a chance to choose: "Then copy the Hundred Family Names. When you finish copying, you can eat the gourd chicken."

Compared to not being able to eat cuckoo chicken, the little guy would rather copy the hundred family names. When he heard his words, he immediately raised his head and said, "Ama, you are so nice~"

Even though he could tell that he was just pretending to cry, Kangxi couldn't help but reach out and tap him on the forehead when he saw that his eyes weren't even red.

After the little guy who was hit rubbed himself, he waved his little hand to say goodbye to his brothers, and followed Kangxi back to copy his own Hundred Family Surnames.

"Farewell, Emperor Father."

The brothers stood there and watched them leave, then started chatting as they walked.

"Cheng'an has grown a lot taller."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, Yinzhi continued, "You have become much bolder."

Yin'e nodded in agreement: "Indeed, you don't know that he actually secretly followed the emperor to court before..."

Although the little guy often corresponded with Yinzhi and others, he would definitely not mention the spanking in his letters, so they really didn't know about it.

After hearing Yin'e's words, the two asked a few more questions and then laughed.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

I worked really hard to feed the little guy, and I was ready to start writing as soon as I came back.

It was rare for Kangxi to see him so enthusiastically writing, so he naturally ordered people to quickly prepare paper and ink for him. However, when he thought of the reason for his enthusiasm, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, wondering how he could have raised such a greedy son.

"Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li..."

The little fellow stood behind the desk, reading and writing in a serious manner.

Influenced by Kangxi and the princes, his handwriting was quite impressive, regardless of how good it was.

"Jin, Wei... Wei... How do you write the word 'Ama Wei'?" the little fellow asked when he suddenly looked up while writing.

"I didn't teach you that."

"I forgot!"

"There's a book next to it, read it yourself."

"Dad, can you teach me how to write?" The little guy put down his pen and ran to him, pulling his sleeve and shaking him.

I just like to find trouble for me!

Kangxi thought so in his heart, but he put down the book he had just been reading, stood up and walked to the desk, stood behind him, held his hand and said: "I will only teach you once, read it carefully."

"Um."

The little guy nodded, and when he finished writing the word "Wei" after being taught by him, he immediately praised: "Ama is really amazing, your writing is so beautiful, Ama, what's the next one?"

When Kangxi heard what he said, he subconsciously led him to finish writing the following "Tao Jiang", and then received a series of compliments from the little guy.

"Wow, my father is indeed my father, he can write any word~"

Kangxi also asked him to finish writing "Qi Xie Zou Yu", but stopped when he felt something was wrong.

"Father, the one behind is Baishui Dou Zhang." The little guy quickly reminded.

Kangxi glanced at him when he heard his words, then let go of his hand and said, "I know, you write it yourself."

"But I don't know how to write the word 'dou'!" Cheng An blinked his big eyes and looked at him.

Kangxi did not fall for his trick, he picked up a pen and wrote the word "Dou" on the white paper next to him and asked him to copy it.

Compared to writing by oneself, it is much faster to write with his guidance. Seeing that he refused to teach him anymore, the little guy couldn't help but puffing his cheeks slightly.

"If you don't know a word again, be careful or I will make you practice each word a hundred times." Kangxi thought that he was still trying to be clever, so he tapped his forehead to warn him.

The little guy who didn't want to practice every word a hundred times suddenly calmed down. Even if there were words he didn't know how to write, he would consciously look up the words in the book and write them.

Kangxi stood beside him for a while, then sat back and continued reading.

The room suddenly became much quieter than before, with only the intermittent sound of a little kid reciting the Hundred Family Names.

The Hundred Family Surnames does not really have only one hundred surnames. The entire text has about five hundred words in total. For a kid like Cheng'an who is not yet proficient in writing, it is not easy to finish writing it in one breath.

More than half an hour passed. Kangxi put down the book and looked up to see that he was still writing seriously, so he couldn't help but stand up.

In front of the desk, Cheng'an pursed his lips slightly, his fair and tender face full of concentration. He held the pen in his chubby little hands and wrote carefully on the paper, stroke by stroke.

The strokes of his calligraphy are very immature, and the overall look is round, but there are no messy ink marks on the paper, so it looks quite clean at first glance.

To be able to do this when just starting to learn to write, I can only say that Kangxi and the princes taught me well.

The kid is young and his hand bones are soft, so practicing calligraphy is too much as well as too little.

Kangxi waited for him to finish writing one more word before saying, "That's enough. I'll continue writing tomorrow."

"I want to finish it today." The little guy said and continued writing.

Quite persistent...

But thinking that the reason for his persistence was because of his stuttering, Kangxi immediately said angrily: "If you finish writing today, you won't have any gourd chicken to eat tomorrow."

"Why?" The little guy, who was still thinking about finishing his writing today so he could eat Cuckoo Chicken tomorrow, immediately stopped writing and looked up.

"You already ate gourd chicken yesterday, don't you remember?" Kangxi reminded him and asked knowingly, "Do you still want to continue writing?"

"I won't write anymore!"

When the little guy learned that he wouldn’t be able to eat Cuckoo Chicken the next day after finishing writing, he immediately put down his pen.

He didn't feel it just now, but when he put down the pen, he suddenly felt a little sore in his hands. He immediately turned around and raised his hands to his father: "Father, my hands are sore..."

"I'm not urging you. Who asked you to take so long to write?" Kangxi said this, but his hand had already grasped the soft little hand in front of him and began to knead it.

"Ama, you are so nice~"

The little guy took two steps and leaned against him, then stretched out his left hand and hugged him.

"Then who said I was fierce before?" Kangxi lowered his head and looked at the little girl who now knew how to act coquettishly.

"Who said that? Ama is not fierce at all. Ama is the best~"

The little guy said, and put his face against him affectionately.

Kangxi looked at his youngest son who was leaning against him with a dependent look on his face, and felt that he really wanted to hit him when he was disobedient, but when he was well-behaved, he was really lovable.

"Are your hands still sore?"

The little guy shook his head and asked, "Are your hands sore? Do you want me to massage them for you?"

"I didn't write, so why would my hands be sore?"

"It's hard work for Dad to rub my hands~" the little guy said, and started to knead them for him.

Kangxi felt his movements and a smile appeared in his eyes.

After Laba Festival comes the New Year, and the palace has already started preparations in advance.

After the little fellow finished copying the Hundred Family Surnames, he was busy writing the character “福”.

There is one difference in the word "Fu" this year, that is, there is an extra seal underneath.

Ever since Cheng'an received the seal from his second brother Yinreng on his birthday, he liked to stamp his own seal at the bottom of every word or painting.

"Ama gives it to you!"

Kangxi was the first to receive the blessing from the little guy. After reading it, he couldn't help but said, "How can you stamp the word blessing?"

"I want to build it~"

After the little guy finished speaking, he picked up the other written blessing characters and prepared to give them to his second brother, mama, and mother.

"Cloak." Kangxi didn't stop him, but just reminded him before he left.

In fact, he didn't need to say it, Liu Cai and the others didn't dare to let the little guy go out like that, but after hearing his words, they still quickened the pace of putting the cloak on him.

The red cloak was embroidered with gold thread, and the collar where it connected to the hat was trimmed with a circle of white fur, which made the little guy look even more fair and cute.

It didn't snow today, but from a distance I could see that there was a lot of snow piled on the roofs and red walls of the palace, which looked quite artistic.

Since the little guy is so spoiled, he doesn’t have to walk anywhere, but he is full of energy and likes to run around by himself.

As soon as Liu Cai came out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he looked closely at his young master. Seeing him walking towards the snow, he quickly dissuaded him, saying, "Don't dare to play in the snow. If the emperor knows..."

"I'm just looking, not playing." The little guy said and continued walking forward.

Liu Cai could only pretend not to notice the small handprints he left on the snow and continue to follow him.

“Tsk——”

As Cheng'an was walking, he suddenly heard Baibai's voice and immediately waved to it to come down.

The handsome Saker Falcon swooped down and landed beside him.

"Baibai, take me to my second brother~" The little guy reached out and touched its feathers, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Liu Cai felt that even though this Saker Falcon was quite big, it would still be difficult to take him flying. Of course, the main reason was that it was quite dangerous.

"If you are tired, little brother..."

Before Liu Cai could finish his words, he saw a flash of golden light before his eyes, and the next second the Saker Falcon spread its wings and flew away.

Obviously, the little guy was probably afraid that Baibai couldn't carry him, so he turned into a little golden dragon.

Speaking of which, the first time the little guy turned into a dragon in front of Baibai, it really scared it and it flapped its wings on the spot.

If it wasn't for the familiarity with the little golden dragon's aura and the natural pressure of the dragon clan that made it dare not attack, it would have pecked it with its beak at the first moment.

After Liu Cai and others realized what had happened, they hurriedly chased in the direction of Xian'an Palace with a headache.

Xian'an Palace.

It was a rare day when the sun came out, so Yinreng read a book in the study and then came out to bask in the sun outside.

Not long after he sat down on the chair brought out by the servants, he suddenly heard the cry of a Saker Falcon overhead. His first reaction was that the little guy was asking it to bring him something again.

Yes, after letting the Saker Falcon deliver letters over long distances, the little guy now occasionally lets it deliver small notes or some small things to his brothers in the capital.

Because of this, there was even a joke.

One night, when Kangxi went to take a bath, the little guy asked Hai Dongqing to bring a small note to Yin'e. The content of the note mainly expressed that he missed him very much, and secondly mentioned that he wanted to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts outside the palace.

Haidongqing was quite capable. Even though it was so dark, he still managed to fly to Yin'e's mansion and found himself outside his room.

At that time, Yin'e had already lay down on the bed. Not long after he closed his eyes, he heard knocking sounds outside the window. He had just read a storybook before going to bed, and he was so scared that he screamed. The people in the mansion were so frightened that they thought a thief had broken into the house. It was not until the lights in the mansion were turned on that they found out that it was a big bird.

Haidongqing was quite calm. Even when surrounded by a group of people, he did not attack rashly. Instead, he waited for Yin'e to come out of the room and threw the small note to him.

When the princes learned about this, they couldn't help laughing, but for fear that the little guy would be scolded by the emperor, they dared not let the matter spread.

When Yinreng thought of this, the corners of his lips slightly raised, but when he looked up at the sky, he suddenly couldn't smile.

Thanks to the good sunshine today, the moment he saw the Saker Falcon, he immediately noticed the obvious golden light on its body.

What nonsense!

Even though he flew over himself, Yinreng didn't find it so scary and stood up immediately.

In the sky, when the little guy saw his second brother, he flew directly off the Saker Falcon.

Yinreng subconsciously opened his hands, and the next second he caught the little guy who had transformed back.

"Second brother~" The little guy seemed to find it quite amusing, hugging his neck and smiling brightly.

"How dare you!"

Seeing that he was still smiling, Yinreng really wanted to slap his little butt twice if he wasn't reluctant.

Maybe it was because he had always had a good temper in front of the little guy, even better than Yinsi, the little guy was not afraid of him at all, and even smiled with a little pride: "Didn't you expect me to come here?"

Yinreng tried to put on a stern face, but still failed to scare the little guy, so he could only say: "Believe it or not, I will tell the emperor!"

"No, no..." The little girl immediately shook her head and hugged him and started to act like a spoiled child, "What if my father knew and beat me? Wouldn't my second brother feel bad?"

"You know that Second Brother will feel sorry for you, but you still act recklessly. What if you fall? If you don't want to walk, just take a sedan chair, or send someone to tell Second Brother to come to see you. Why scare him like that?"

After all, Yinreng had been the crown prince for so many years. When he got really serious, his aura was only slightly inferior to that of Kangxi.

The little guy felt that he seemed really angry, and kissed him on the face a few times, then rubbed him and said: "Brother, I was wrong, I just wanted to give you a surprise, don't be angry, I like you the most..."

After hearing what he said, Yinreng's serious expression was instantly broken, and he felt helpless as he couldn't do anything about him.

"You!" Yinreng raised his hand and tapped his forehead lightly, "Don't do this again next time."

"good!"

After Yinreng put his arm around him and sat down again, he asked him what he wanted to see him about.

"I'm here to give my second brother a blessing~"

Yinreng looked at his empty hands and asked, "Where is the word 'Fu'?"

"At..." the little guy looked down at his hands and whispered, "At Liu Cai's place."

After a while, Liu Cai and others caught up with him and saw that he was fine. Only then did they feel relieved and presented the word "Fu" to him with both hands.

The little guy ran over and took the word "Fu" himself and handed it to Yinreng. Yinreng saw that his word "Fu" this year was obviously better than last year's, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After admiring the word "Fu", Yinreng did not forget to help the little guy finish. He looked at Liu Cai and others, indicating that they did not need to tell Kangxi what happened on the way.

It would not be good for Liu Cai and others if Kangxi heard about this. However, considering that they had not met anyone else on the way here, they naturally agreed.

Of course, if Kangxi heard the news and asked them, they would definitely not dare to lie.

After Yinreng finished speaking, he signaled the servants around him to take Liu Cai and others downstairs to have tea.

"Second brother, you are so nice!" Seeing that he asked Liu Cai and the others not to tell Ama, the little guy buried his face in his shoulder and rubbed it hard.

Yinreng hugged him like a small heater, warmer than the sun just now. He smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, accompany your second brother to paste the blessing character."

"Hmm~" the little guy nodded, and accompanied him to paste the word "Fu" he had written.

After giving blessings to him, the little guy had to go and give blessings to the Queen Mother and others.

Yinreng felt a little worried and decided to go with him.

Of course, it was not convenient for Yinreng to accompany his mother to her place. At most, he could accompany him to the Empress Dowager's place.

Yinreng sent the little guy to Ningshou Palace, paid his respects to the Empress Dowager, and then took his leave.

Before he left, he told the little guy that he was going to the Imperial Garden for a while, and indicated that the little guy could go there if he wanted to find him.

The Queen Mother and Concubine Mu were accustomed to receiving the word "Fu" from the little guy every year. After receiving the word "Fu", they would first praise him and then stuff him with all kinds of food and some small gold and silver trinkets.

When Cheng'an came, he brought a bunch of blessing characters with him, and when he left, he had a slightly bulging belly and lots of delicious food.

"Second brother~"

After finding Yinreng in the Imperial Garden, the little guy immediately gave him a lot of delicious food, and also gave some to Liu Cai and the others.

Yinreng looked at the handful of food he had stuffed into his hand, took a few bites and put the rest away.

"Second brother will take you back."

The sun had already begun to set, and the sky was dyed orange.

The little guy held his brother's hand and skipped towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity. From time to time, he would take out a piece of food from his purse and hold it up: "Second brother, eat this~"

Yinreng lowered his head and ate it, with the warm color of the sunset reflected in his eyes.

When the word "Fu" written by the little one was posted in the palace and the princes' houses, New Year's Eve soon arrived.

Yinzhi and Yinzhen are back, and this New Year's Eve is another family reunion. The little guy has been in a very good mood since he woke up in the morning.

Boo~

As soon as Kangxi opened his eyes, there was a small heater in his arms and he was kissed on the face, which unconsciously infected him with good mood.

"Ama, today is New Year's Eve~"

"Yeah." Kangxi responded lazily. Seeing that he didn't urge him to get up, he hugged him and continued to lie down for a while before slowly getting up.

The things to do on New Year’s Eve every year are actually similar, but the little guy is still looking forward to today.

The most lively time on New Year's Eve is after dusk, when lights are on everywhere in the Qianqing Palace and the princes have all entered the palace.

Before the dinner started, the little guy couldn't help running around, and the purse around his waist was filled with all kinds of food.

"Brother Da, do you want to eat some melon seeds?"

Yinzhi saw him approaching him, pinched his chubby face and said, "Peel it and I'll eat it."

The little guy immediately took out a few melon seeds from his pouch and peeled them for him, then put them directly into his mouth.

Yinzhi ate the melon seeds that he fed him and felt that they were particularly fragrant.

"Brother, how can you be so embarrassed?" Yinzhi said to the little guy, "Cheng'an, come here and show your third brother what delicious food you have in your purse."

"There are also peanuts, pine nuts, beans, and dried meat~"

The little guy said as he ran towards him.

"Such a small purse can hold so much." After saying this, Yinzhi took out a few pine nuts from his purse, peeled them, ate one himself, and fed the rest to him.

"Brother, do you want to eat?" the little guy asked while eating.

Yinreng shook his head: "If my second brother doesn't eat, you should eat less too, otherwise you won't be able to finish the dinner later."

"good."

The little guy nodded in agreement and ran to Yinzhen, lying on his lap and asked, "Do you want to eat, Fourth Brother?"

Yinzhen didn't want to eat at first, but when he saw him holding a handful of food in front of him, he ate a pine nut out of courtesy.

Yinqi, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to grab some food from the little guy's hand without waiting for him to ask.

"Brother Ten Cheng'an wants to eat!"

After Yin'e finished speaking, the little guy first stuffed some food into the hands of his seventh brother and eighth brother before running between him and Yin'e.

Before the little one finished sharing the food in his pocket, the New Year's Eve palace banquet finally began.

"Wow! So many delicious foods~"

After the little guy returned to Kangxi, he immediately looked at the food on the table and started crying.

"You make it sound like the palace is short of delicious food from you." After saying this, Kangxi picked up his chopsticks first so that he could start eating.

Normally there is no shortage of delicious food in the palace, but the variety is not as rich as it is today, and you won’t be criticized for eating more.

After the little guy ate obediently beside Kangxi for a while, he soon started running around the place.

Kangxi was already accustomed to this and was too lazy to say anything to him.

After the little guy had his fill, he received a pile of lucky money. Before the fireworks started, he counted the money on the tray.

"one two three……"

Hearing the little guy counting and shouting that it was great to celebrate New Year's Eve, with a happy atmosphere all over his body, Yin'e couldn't help but whispered: "Do you think Cheng'an knew that he would go to the Shangshufang to study after the New Year?"

"You should know." Yinzhen continued.

Yin'e: "Then do you think he knows that he has to get up at yin hour to study in the Shangshufang, and he has to read a hundred and twenty times?"

Obviously all the brothers had gone through this, but when they heard what he said, they couldn't help but look at the little guy who was still counting his New Year's money.

Yinxiang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid he doesn't know..."

Even princes like Yinzhi and Yinzhen, who studied hard, had to admit that the days of studying in the Shangshufang were indeed very hard.

For Yin'e, it was more than just hardship, it was simply life-threatening. When he recalled it now, he couldn't help but wonder how he had managed to get through it. Thinking that the little guy was about to go through this kind of life, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him in advance.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" The little guy turned around and looked over after counting his New Year's money.

"Nothing." Yin'e shook his head and asked him, "Is there anything else Cheng'an wants to eat or play?"

"I want to set off the fireworks by myself!" the little guy said immediately.

"Okay, Brother Shi will take you there."

As readily as Yin'e agreed to his request, he was as cautious as he went to Kangxi for instructions.

Fortunately, Kangxi glanced at him, reminded him to take good care of the little guy's safety, and then agreed.

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

Yin'e immediately ran towards the little guy after he finished speaking, and spoke with more confidence: "Cheng'an, let's go, Brother Shi will take you to set off the fireworks!"

Kangxi looked at his back and couldn't help shaking his head slightly, thinking that he was so old but still like a child.

Since the little guy was going to set off fireworks, Yinreng and the others would definitely follow him. Kangxi felt relieved when he saw this.
