Ningshou Palace.

The Queen Mother was used to the little guy coming to her whenever he had something to do. She was a little worried when she didn't see him for a few days when he first went to the Shangshufang to study, but she also knew that studying was a big deal, so she didn't say anything.

However, when the little guy was able to study with his brother and started to run to her side, the empress dowager smiled more often.

"Ma, my brother, Ai'ai and I are here to see you~"

When the people in the Empress Dowager's palace heard the little guy's voice, they went downstairs without being told and brought all kinds of food to the table.

"Who is Ai'ai?" The Queen Mother looked at her little grandson who ran in with a kind smile.

"That's him. He is Aiai."

After the little guy finished speaking, he immediately pulled his study partner and ran to her.

Zhang Ruoai did not forget to pay his respects to the empress dowager before and after he came up. The empress dowager thought he was a pretty good child, so when she took the food on the table and stuffed it into the little guy's hands, she also gave him some.

The little guy seemed particularly comfortable with his own mama. He raised the cake in his hand to feed the empress dowager a piece, then when he saw that his brothers didn't have any, he ran over and gave them some as well.

"Ai'ai, come and eat, this is delicious."

At his reminder, Zhang Ruoai finally stopped sitting there and ate the pastry in her hand in small bites.

The Queen Mother saw that they were all eating, and her smile became even more intense. "Do you want anything else to eat? I'll have someone prepare it."

There were several grandchildren present. Needless to say, the little guy Yinqi grew up by her side, Yinreng was the Empress Dowager's favorite great-grandson, so the Empress Dowager couldn't help but pay some attention to him. As for Yinzhi, he also grew up under the Empress Dowager's care.

"Mom, I have to go to study with my brother later. Next time when you are free, please ask someone to make me something delicious." The little guy was not polite with her. While eating, he was still thinking about the next time.

The Queen Mother was very happy to hear his words, "Okay, Mama, let someone make your favorite gourd chicken next time."

Because he still had to study, the little guy didn't stay with her for a long time, but even so, the queen mother was in a good mood.

When they were ready to leave, the Queen Mother asked them to take the food on the table away.

The little guy was already used to doing this kind of "unbearable" things. Not only did he fill his own purse with dried fruits, he also helped Yinreng and the others put a lot of them in their purses.

"Come here, Ai'ai, and bring two more pieces of peach cake."

Zhang Ruoai passively took the peach cake he handed to her, but she always felt that it was not a good idea to eat and take it at the same time.

"Mother asked someone to put everything in a food box for you to take away." The Queen Mother saw the little guy taking the peach cakes with his hands and thought it would be more convenient to take the whole plate away.

The little guy shook his head and said, "No, leave the rest for Mama to eat."

"Mammy doesn't like to eat these." Seeing how filial he was, the Queen Mother touched his head and said.

"The peach cakes are delicious, eat slowly, Mama."

After the little guy finished speaking, he waved at her before leaving with his brothers.

He stuffed a bag of dried fruits into Yinzhi's pocket, and when he came out of Ningshou Palace, he couldn't help but take out some and eat them.

"Brother San, can you give me a pine nut~"

After the little fellow finished the peach cake in his hand, he came up to him and said.

"Don't you have one?" Yinzhi said this, but he quickly peeled a pine nut and fed it to him.

Yinqi had other things to do, so he said goodbye to them after coming out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, leaving only a few of them to go back to Xian'an Palace.

As he was about to return to the study to continue reading, Zhang Ruoai looked down at the two pieces of peach cakes in his hands, then looked at his pocket full of fruits. He could only open his mouth and eat them in big mouthfuls.

The little guy saw him finish the peach cake in his hand in a few bites, and thought he liked it, so he came over and said, "Next time I will take you to Mama's house to eat delicious food~"

Zhang Ruoai wanted to say no, but his mouth was occupied by the peach cake and he couldn't speak. When he swallowed it, the little guy ran to sit behind the desk, his expression suddenly looked a little helpless.

Seeing that Yinzhi came over specially, Yinreng asked him to teach the little guy, while he listened while reading a book.

The little guy listened very seriously at first, but after a while he couldn't help taking out a melon seed from his pocket and playing with it in his hand.

"Cheng'an." Yinzhi noticed his little movement and reminded him.

When the little guy saw that he was discovered, he raised the melon seeds and said, "Third brother, you have worked hard. Have a melon seed."

"You let me eat it without even peeling the shell." Yinzhi took the melon seed unhappily and looked to the side, "Second brother, was he like this when you taught him?"

Yinreng chuckled and reached out to the little guy.

Without him saying a word, the little guy obediently stood up, took off the purse from his waist and handed it to him.

Obviously, although Yinreng doted on him, he still gave him some discipline when teaching him to study. For example, he could bring food with him, but he was not allowed to keep it on his body while he was studying.

After handing over the purse, with nothing around to distract him, the little fellow slowly became serious, and his clear voice of reading could be heard from time to time in the study.

"That's right. Just keep it up like this. As long as the Emperor doesn't deliberately make things difficult for you, I think you won't have to go back to the Shangshufang." Yinzhi commented after teaching him.

The little guy tilted his head and looked at him. "Will Ama embarrass me again?"

"I just said that. The Emperor would never be willing to make things difficult for you." Yinzhi said with a smile.

Cheng An immediately laughed when he heard this, and after laughing, he hugged him and said, "Third brother, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, can we go out and play together?"

"You talk as if you have the final say." Yinzhi reached out and gently pinched his face.

"I'll tell my father when I get home that I want to go out with my brothers to see the lanterns and guess lantern riddles~"

Obviously, the little guy has a deep memory of last year's Lantern Festival.

Yinzhi thought that Yinxi and the others had two days off every month because of him, so he couldn't help but joked, "Why weren't you born earlier?"

"Why?" the little guy asked puzzledly.

"This way, Third Brother can also take advantage of you and rest for a few more days."

Yinzhi just said this and then sent the little guy back to the Qianqing Palace and left the palace.

With him accompanying him, Yinreng did not have to run with the little guy again, but he returned the purse that he had confiscated to him before the little guy left.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

On the way back, the little guy chatted with his third brother about going out to play. At this moment, he was thinking about going out to see the lanterns with his father and brothers tomorrow.

In case Ama disagrees, the little guy took out some dried fruits from his purse and began to show his courtesy as soon as he saw him. "Ama, do you want some melon seeds?"

Lunch was about to begin, so Kangxi naturally didn't want to eat any melon seeds.

He glanced down at the bulging purse on the little guy's waist and immediately guessed, "Did you go to your royal mother's place again?"

"I'll stay with Mama for a while and then go back to study with my brother." The little guy explained as he handed him the peeled melon seeds.

When Kangxi heard what he said, he reached out and took a few melon seeds he peeled and put them into his mouth.

"Dad, have another one." When the little guy saw that he had eaten it, he quickly peeled another one for him.

When Kangxi saw him like this, he guessed that something was wrong and asked directly, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

The little guy first fed him the melon seeds he had just peeled, then hugged his arm and said, "Father, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Can you take me and my brothers out to see the lanterns?"

When the little guy thought about how many fun things there would be on the streets during the Lantern Festival, his eyes lit up before Kangxi even agreed.

"You just think about playing all day long." Kangxi poked his forehead and said.

"Father, you are the best~" The little guy shook his arm and rubbed his head against him, "Take me out to play, and I promise to win you the most beautiful lantern!"

When Kangxi heard this, he immediately thought of the Lantern Festival. In order to help him guess the riddles, Yinzhi and others had put a lot of effort into it, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Father agreed to me, right? I knew that Father was the best~" Cheng An noticed that he was smiling and said immediately.

Seeing that he still learned to talk to himself, Kangxi pinched his face and asked him, "When will I agree to you?"

"I don't care, you just agree." The little guy covered his ears after saying this, as if he didn't want to hear his refusal.

Seeing that he had learned to act like a rogue, Kangxi simply reached out and patted his little butt.

However, perhaps recalling last year's Lantern Festival, when the little guy had done a great job in putting out the fire and even burned some of his hair for his own benefit, Kangxi finally agreed to his request.

"Long live Ama! Ama is the best Ama~"

It would be best if you agree, but if you don't agree, I don't know how to make trouble...

Kangxi complained in his heart, and gently pushed his little head and said, "Okay, let's go have lunch quickly."

The goal was achieved. During lunch, the little guy was in a particularly good mood and kept picking up food for Kangxi.

"Ama, eat this."

"Ama, please eat more meat."

"Ama, would you like some more soup?"

Seeing how happy he was, Kangxi thought that he was spending less and less time with him, and suddenly he thought it would be nice to go out with him more often.

Perhaps because he was excited about going out to play tomorrow, the little guy didn't even take a nap after lunch. He stayed in the imperial study with Kangxi for a while and then went straight to the shooting hall.

"Ama promised to take us out to see the lanterns tomorrow~" The little guy came over and shared the good news with his brothers.

Yin Qi almost jumped up, "Great!"

Yinxi, Yinhu and others did not behave so exaggeratedly, but they all had smiles on their faces.

As for Yinyi, he was already old enough to take on an official position, but he had stayed in the Shangshufang before, partly because Kangxi wanted to have some older people in the Shangshufang to take care of the little ones who were just starting to study.

Now that the little guy is no longer studying in the Shangshufang, Kangxi directly assigned him a job. He can leave the palace and start his own business as soon as his mansion is built.

A moment later, when Yinreng came over, the little guy immediately hugged him and shared the good news.

Yinreng had guessed that if he went to ask the emperor, the emperor would definitely agree. After all, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. Last year's Lantern Festival started it. If the emperor didn't want to take him out this year, he was afraid that the little guy would not keep quiet.

"Are you happy, brother?"

"Happy." Yinreng nodded slightly, and then took him to go archery.

The little guy's mind had probably already flown out, and after shooting a few arrows he turned back and said to him, "Second brother, I'll win you a lantern tomorrow."

"Okay, then second brother will wait."

The Lantern Festival.

Before, when he was about to read, a certain little guy couldn't get up no matter how much he was called, but today he sat up by himself without anyone calling him.

When Kangxi saw him yawn, he fell directly into his arms, muttering that he wanted to eat Yuanxiao, which made him feel a little amused and helpless.

He raised his hand and patted the little guy's butt and said, "You are so greedy and fun."

"Ama, what did you say?" The little guy hadn't slept enough, and asked in a daze.

"I told you to sleep a little longer. It's still early to go out."

The little guy could distinguish between good words and bad words and didn't like others saying bad things about him. Kangxi was too lazy to make him make a fuss early in the morning.

"But I want to eat Yuanxiao." The little guy said softly while lying in his arms.

Seeing that he was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping, Kangxi said unhappily, "Yuanxiao can't grow legs and run away." After saying that, he raised his hand and patted him on the back, and in a few pats he coaxed the little guy to close his eyes again.

After the little guy fell asleep, Kangxi signaled Liang Jiugong to move him off him before he could get up.

There was nothing important at the morning court today, and Kangxi would be back soon.

Coincidentally, as soon as he came to the bed, the little guy sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"Ama, I just dreamed that I was eating Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings). It was too hot so I blew on it. Then the Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings) suddenly grew legs and ran out of the bowl. I chased after it with the bowl in my arms but couldn't catch up..."

The little guy saw him and angrily shared his dream.

"If you want to eat Yuanxiao, get up quickly." When Kangxi heard that he dreamed of eating Yuanxiao, he thought he was really promising.

After getting up, Cheng'an finally got to eat Yuanxiao. The Yuanxiao was round and had a soft and glutinous skin. When he took a bite, his mouth was filled with sweet fillings.

"It's delicious, Ama, you should have one too."

Kangxi wanted to refuse, but he held the spoon and handed it to him, saying, "The Yuanxiao ran and ran, and ran directly into my mouth~"

Obviously, the little guy still remembers the dream he had before getting up.

Kangxi chuckled, but eventually ate the Yuanxiao that he fed him.

Today, Yinxi and the others can all rest, and Cheng'an doesn't have to study, so the brothers first went to the Empress Dowager's palace, stayed with the Empress Dowager and their mother for a while, and then went to play in the Imperial Garden together.

During the day, Kangxi and the other princes were busy with things. Even Yinreng was pulled over by Yinzhi to help with his book editing project, so they were the only ones who had the least time.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, the little guy immediately thought about raising sheep and immediately pulled his brothers over to feed the sheep.

Yin Qi looked at the sheep, which had obviously become rounder, and said, "Cheng'an, this sheep you raised is really round!"

"That's why it's called Yuanyuan~" the little guy said happily.

When Yuanyuan heard her name, she immediately responded by bleating.

Cheng'an and his brothers fed the sheep for a while, then went to see the deer and cranes nearby, and then called the Saker Falcon down to play games with them.

The four youngest princes in the palace got together and almost went crazy having fun in the Imperial Garden. They even forgot the time.

It was around noon when Kangxi did not wait for his sons to come back for lunch in the Qianqing Palace, so he went out to look for them himself. He found his sons running around in the Imperial Garden, sweating profusely.

"Haha, brother can't catch me~"

"I'll catch up with you in a minute!"

The weather was still a bit cold, and sweating like that was not a good thing, so Kangxi immediately stopped the man and scolded him.

"Ama, I was wrong, don't be angry."

Probably learned from Yin'e, the little guy admits his mistakes very quickly.

"I know I was wrong."

Seeing this, Yinxi and the other two also admitted their mistakes.

Kangxi felt the wind blowing over him and suddenly had no time to scold them anymore. He asked someone to wipe the sweat off their heads and take them back.

"Stay quiet and be obedient in the prince's place in the afternoon." After giving instructions to Yinxi and the other two, Kangxi left with the little one.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

When the servants were wiping the kid's sweat and changing his clothes, Kangxi couldn't help but stand by and lecture him, "Can playing be considered a meal? You didn't even come back at noon, and you're running around with sweat all over your head..."

The little guy listened obediently until he changed his clothes and then rushed over to hug him. "I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time, Ama, don't be angry."

This is true. After the Chinese New Year, he has hardly been to the Imperial Garden.

Kangxi had scolded him before, but after he hugged him and acted coquettishly for a while, he stopped scolding him. However, after lunch, he kept him by his side.

The little fellow was quite willing to accompany him, helping him pass the documents, serving him tea, and even putting cakes to his mouth while he was eating.

After this speech, no matter how angry Kangxi was, he calmed down.

"Ama, it's getting dark~"

As soon as the sun started to set, the little guy couldn't wait to remind me.

Kangxi knew what he meant. After reviewing the last memorial in his hand, he took him back to change clothes.

The little guy's clothes had just been changed at noon, and the main reason was that Kangxi needed to change into regular clothes.

"Father, you look good in this!" The little guy was in a good mood when he went out to play and his mouth was sweeter. He started praising Kangxi as soon as he changed his clothes.

Kangxi raised the corner of his lips slightly, picked up a small hat and put it on his head, then took him out.

At the palace gate.

Yinreng and his companions had been waiting here for a while. When they saw Kangxi come out, they bowed and then got back into the car.

It was not long after the Chinese New Year and it was the Lantern Festival, so the streets were very busy.

Perhaps because of last year's experience, people from the Jiucheng Bingmasi could still be seen patrolling the streets this year.

"Ama, why isn't it dark yet?"

The little fellow got off the carriage and looked up when he saw that the street lights were not so bright because of the sky.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Kangxi said, then took his hand and led him forward.

Compared to the little guy who came out just for fun, Kangxi took the opportunity to pay attention to the street security. He felt that it was better than last year and he felt somewhat satisfied.

After walking forward for a while, I suddenly heard more shouting on the street.

After all, it is the Lantern Festival, so naturally the most popular item sold on the street is Lantern Festival.

When the little guy smelled the unique aroma of Yuanxiao, he couldn't help but look over, but he didn't say he wanted to eat it.

There was nothing that could be done. It was his own fault for being greedy. After eating Yuanxiao in the morning, he wanted to eat it again at noon. Kangxi immediately told him that after eating it at noon, he could not eat it again at night.

We will still have dinner outside today, and the restaurant will still be arranged by Yinzhen.

On the way to the restaurant, the little guy couldn't help but begged Yinzhi to buy him a string of candied haws.

"We're going to have dinner soon, why don't you buy him some candied haws?" Kangxi frowned.

When the little guy heard him calling him brother, he quickly said, "I'll take it first and eat it after I finish my meal."

Seeing that he was self-aware, Kangxi didn't say anything.

"Brothers, look, does it look like a red lantern?" After buying the candied haws, the little guy was held in Yinzhi's arms. After passing Kangxi's test, he immediately held up the candied haws in his hand and said.

Yinsi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes."

"Cheng'an, give Tenth Brother a bite of the candied haws." Yin'e stepped forward to tease him.

The little guy subconsciously glanced at Kangxi and whispered, "If you eat it now, Father will be angry. Can I give it to you later?"

Yin'e also lowered his voice and said, "It's okay, I'll eat one secretly, the emperor won't know."

"Don't believe him. Later, the Emperor will think you ate it when he sees that there is one missing." Yinzhi reminded the little guy in his arms.

The little fellow was already relaxed, and upon hearing this, he immediately raised the candied haws higher, and coaxed, "Brother Shi, be obedient, and I will give you candied haws after dinner."

"I want to eat it now." Yin'e pretended to be disobedient to tease him.

The little guy was a little embarrassed, and thought about handing the candied haws over.

When Yinzhen saw the candied haws in front of him, he subconsciously reached out to take it for him.

Seeing that the little guy still knew who had the candied haws, Yin'e didn't dare to ask for it anymore. Yin'er couldn't help but chuckle.

When the group arrived at the restaurant, the food was already ready and they could just sit down and eat.

After getting used to the imperial meals in the palace, it would be nice to change the taste occasionally. Kangxi and the little one were quite satisfied with this dinner.

When dinner was over, it was already dark outside, but the streets were brightly lit by lanterns hung everywhere.

"Brother Shi gave it to me." The little guy did what he said. After dinner, he took his string of candied haws and put it to Yin'e's mouth.

After all, it was a festival, and there were more meat dishes on the table. Yin'e really wanted to have something sour and sweet to relieve the greasiness, so he bit off the candied haws on the top without hesitation.

"You're already an adult, yet you're still trying to coax Cheng'an into eating candied haws." Yinzhen glanced at him and said.

Yin'e was biting on the candied haws in his mouth and hadn't spoken yet, but the little guy spoke first, "I want to give it to Brother Ten. Brother Nine, do you want to have one too?"

Yinzhen didn't want to eat it at first, but when he saw Yin'e biting a candied haws and giving him a smug look, he stopped being polite to the little guy.

"Cheng'an, I want to eat too." Yinqi called him in a low voice.

When the little guy heard his voice, he ran over immediately.

There were only four candied haws left in total. After Yinqi, Yinhu and Yinxi ate one each, the little guy had only the last one left in his hand.

Yinzhen deliberately said, "Cheng'an, Fourteenth Brother wants to eat too."

"Don't tease him." Yinxiang couldn't help but pat him.

"Here~" The little guy didn't hesitate, and came over and stuffed the bamboo stick into Yinzhen's hand, then ran back to Kangxi and said coquettishly, "Father, I want to go to the street to play!"

"I think you might as well go buy some candied haws." Kangxi directly pointed out his little thought.

The little guy retorted, "Who said that? I obviously wanted to win a lantern for my father~"

"Then you are not allowed to buy candied haws later."

"Ama!" The little guy immediately stomped his feet and called him.

Kangxi raised his hand and gently poked his forehead. After sitting for a while, he took him out of the restaurant.

Not long after going out, the little guy bought another candied haws as he wished, and enthusiastically wanted to share it with Kangxi.

Kangxi naturally wouldn't eat it, so he called out to Yinxiang, who was holding him, to eat it.

After Yinxiang ate one, the other princes shook their heads to indicate that they didn't want to eat it. Only then did the little guy lower his head and happily eat it himself.

As more and more people came to the street, dragon and lion dances and stilt-walking teams also came out, and the atmosphere suddenly became more lively.

Kangxi and the princes saw the little guy holding the unfinished candied haws and shaking his head, and smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.
