The little guy looked up at him drinking so fast and couldn't help asking, "Ah, do you want another bowl?"

When he said this, Kangxi and the princes all found it a little funny, and the atmosphere in the room went from heavy to light.

"I'll give you another bowl." Kangxi put down the bowl and said.

The little guy felt the medicine was bitter as soon as he smelled it, and immediately covered his mouth and shook his head to indicate that he didn't want to drink it.

After drinking the medicine, Kangxi signaled the princes to leave.

The brothers did not dare to disturb him while he was recuperating, and they all bowed and left.

Before leaving, Yinreng wanted to take the little guy with him, but he refused, so he had no choice but to leave by himself.

After watching his brothers leave, the little guy picked up the book again and looked at Kangxi who was lying down.

"Ama, do you want me to read to you?"

"good."

After Kangxi agreed, the little guy immediately picked up the Analects and began to read: "The Master said: Learning and practicing it from time to time, is it not a pleasure? When friends come from afar..."

The crisp sound has a hint of milkiness, which makes people feel comfortable when listening to it.

Kangxi thought of the little guy who used to fall asleep when he heard him reading the Analects when he was a child, but now he could read the Analects on his own, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He was already feeling unwell and had just taken some medicine, so he slowly closed his eyes as he listened.

The little guy was reading very seriously, and I didn't realize it until he fell asleep for a while.

“Ama…”

Cheng'an called out softly, and when he found that his father was really asleep, he lay down beside the bed and gently touched his face, then sat down and continued to read, but this time his voice was much quieter.

Father Ma was sick, and the little guy had no mood to play, so he stayed by the bed and read. When he felt tired, he would get up and lie on the bed to watch him.

Seeing that he had hardly moved the whole morning, Liang Jiugong immediately urged him to have lunch when it was almost noon.

"I'm going to wait for my father to wake up and eat together." The little guy shook his head.

After Liang Jiugong and Liu Cai took turns coaxing him for a few words, they had no choice but to put some cakes next to him.

Normally, during the period before meals, the little guy was not allowed to touch other food because Kangxi was afraid that he would not be able to eat.

However, when he had the chance to eat it today, the little guy didn't really want to eat it.

It was almost noon when Kangxi finally woke up and looked a little better.

"Ama!"

The little guy saw that he finally woke up and happily lay down beside him.

Kangxi first asked what time it was, then looked at him and asked, "Can I have lunch?"

"No."

Seeing him shaking his head, Kangxi coughed and said, "Why haven't you eaten yet at this hour?"

"I want to eat with Ama." The little guy reached out and patted his chest gently.

Kangxi had no appetite at the moment and motioned for him to eat first.

"I'm not hungry. I want to wait for my father to eat together." After the little guy said this, he turned towards Kangxi and gently rested his head on his chest. His action revealed a bit of dependence and coquettishness.

Kangxi raised his hand and gently stroked the top of his head. Seeing that he insisted on not going to eat by himself, he could only signal Liang Jiugong to have lunch brought over.

“Yeah.”

The most frightening thing about being sick is having no appetite. When Liang Jiugong saw that he was going to have dinner with the young prince, his tone rose slightly.

After a while, a table was brought to the bedside, on which were placed some soups and drinks suitable for Kangxi, as well as some dishes that the little guy liked.

The little guy was going to feed Kangxi, but Kangxi refused to do so because he was still hungry.

"I don't need you to feed me."

Cheng'an was indeed a little hungry at this moment. Seeing that his father refused to let him feed him, he could only pick up the small bowl and eat quickly.

It was already past the little guy's usual lunch time, so he ate with slightly bigger mouthfuls, and his meal smelled delicious just by looking at it.

Kangxi drank a few mouthfuls of porridge reluctantly, but he still couldn't eat any more. He shook his head slightly.

Italians don't need to feed anymore.

"Father, why do you only eat so little?" The little guy frowned when he saw that he hadn't finished his bowl of porridge.

"I'm done eating, take your time."

The little guy didn't eat slowly. Instead, he finished the food in his bowl in big mouthfuls, then walked to the bed with the remaining half bowl of porridge.

"Ah, Ama..."

Kangxi felt helpless, but seeing that he didn't eat and he kept holding the spoon, he could only open his mouth and eat slowly.

The little guy didn't rush him, but held the bowl in his arms and fed him slowly in small sips.

Seeing his son's serious and patient look, Kangxi's heart softened and his appetite recovered a little.

"Ah, you are so good." The little guy praised him after feeding him a bowl of porridge, then turned around and brought him another bowl of soup, "Come, have some more soup~"

It was good enough that Kangxi could finish the bowl of porridge. He couldn't even drink the soup. He said quickly, "I need to take medicine later. If I drink the soup, I won't be able to take the medicine."

The little guy frowned slightly and finally said, "Then try it. This soup is really delicious."

Kangxi had no choice but to lower his head and take a bite.

He couldn't taste anything in his mouth at the moment, but after drinking the soup he nodded and said, "It's really good."

"Then I'll have someone cook this soup for you next time."

Seeing that he looked like a little adult, Kangxi couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.

Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled.

Kangxi was old after all, and he took a lot of medicine for this illness, but his condition was sometimes mild and sometimes severe. When he was feeling better, he could get out of bed and walk a few steps, but when he was feeling worse, he was completely bedridden.

The Queen Mother was older, so the news was kept secret and no one dared to let it reach her ears.

Since the first day Kangxi fell ill, the little guy refused to go anywhere and insisted on staying by his side.

Kangxi was afraid that he would get sick at first, but later he saw that he had lost weight along with him, and felt so distressed that he wanted him to go out for a walk and not stay by his side all the time.

However, even if the princes came to coax him, it was useless, and even going out of the palace to play could not attract him.

When Yinzhi tried to carry him out, the little guy got angry at his brothers, saying, "I'm not going anywhere. If you do this again, I'll be angry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a little golden dragon and flew back to Kangxi's bed, with the whole dragon curled up beside the pillow.

"If you don't want to go out and play, then don't cough..." Kangxi wanted to coax him, but he started coughing again before he finished his words.

The little fellow who was feeling uncomfortable in dragon form immediately changed back and stretched out his hand to pat him.

"Father, why haven't you recovered after taking so many medicines?" The little guy just frowned at first, but his eyes started to turn slightly red after he finished speaking.

At the same time, Yinreng had walked forward, helped Kangxi sit up, and brought a cup of warm water to his mouth.

After drinking the water, Kangxi looked at his youngest son who was about to cry. He sighed in his heart, but pretended to be relaxed and said, "Maybe Father didn't drink enough medicine. He will be fine after drinking it for a while."

"Then I'll go make medicine for my father!" The little guy stood up immediately after hearing this.

"Everything is excessive, and you can't take too much medicine every day." Kangxi said, reaching out to touch his head and said, "You haven't been to Ningshou Palace for a long time. Go and pay your respects to your Royal Mama."

"I'll go later." The little guy said while rubbing his head against the palm of his hand.

"Be obedient and go today, otherwise your Royal Madam will not see you for a long time. If you come here, you might find out that I am sick."

"Why can't you let Mama know that you are sick?" The little guy looked up with a puzzled expression.

"Your Royal Mama is old, you can't let her worry."

Kangxi tried his best to persuade the little fellow and finally got him to agree.

To prevent the little fellow from letting the cat out of the bag, after the princes came out of Qingxi Study, Yinreng and Yinqi accompanied him to the Empress Dowager.

The reason why we didn't all go together was that we were afraid that it would cause too much trouble.

Later, I suspected that another reason was that Kangxi was unwell, and the princes had more things to do unconsciously.

Speaking of which, ever since Kangxi fell ill, people in the court began to feel uneasy.

Even some of Yinzhi and Yinreng's former subordinates began to contact them again, obviously thinking that since they had been released from the ban, there was still hope for them to fight for the throne, and they wanted to take a chance to gain the credit of following the dragon.

The father-son relationship between the princes and Kangxi had become much closer in recent years because of Cheng'an. Moreover, Cheng'an had been taking care of Kangxi every step of the way since Kangxi's illness at a very young age and had lost weight because of it. The princes were somewhat touched and had no other thoughts at all.

Therefore, those who could not wait to go to Kangxi because he was ill all failed to please the princes.

It was probably because Kangxi was not in good health at the moment, otherwise Yinzhi and the others would have reported those people directly to him.

Of course, in fact, Kangxi already knew everything without their involvement. After all, his control over the court for so many years was real. Even though he was sick now, nothing could be hidden from him as long as he wanted to know.

Overall, Kangxi was quite satisfied with his sons' performance during this period. He even felt that if he really couldn't survive this winter, he could go with peace of mind.

As Kangxi was thinking, his eyes inadvertently fell on the chair near the bed.

That was where the little guy often stayed recently. He would sit there and feed Kangxi medicine and food, and would read to him when Kangxi woke up...

When Kangxi thought of his young son, he suddenly felt that he could not be completely at ease. After all, he was so worried just because he was sick. If that day really came, he didn't know how much he would cry.

On the other side, the little guy had been led to Ningshou Palace by his two brothers.

When the Queen Mother saw him, she immediately touched his little face and asked with concern: "Why have you suddenly lost so much weight?"

"Ma." When the little guy heard this, what he was thinking about was that his father had lost weight recently, and he couldn't help but open his arms and hug her.

"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother hugged him and looked at her other two grandsons.

Seeing that Yinreng didn't speak, Yinqi could only say, "Maybe it's because of the discomfort of teething."

The reason that teething is uncomfortable can explain why the little guy has become thinner and why he is so depressed now.

The Queen Mother believed it after hearing it, and even subconsciously thought that the reason why he hadn't come over recently was because of this reason. She touched the little guy's head with heartache and asked him if he wanted to eat anything.

Cheng'an has loved eating since he was a child, but recently, seeing his father being sick, he has lost his appetite.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the little guy shook his head subconsciously.

"How about having Mama ask someone to make you gourd chicken?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but say, thinking that he liked to eat this.

After Kangxi fell ill, his diet became lighter. He did not let the little one eat the same thing as him, but the little one took the initiative to eat with him. It turned out that he had not eaten gourd chicken for many days.

After all, it was his favorite food, so the little guy swallowed his saliva reflexively.

When the Queen Mother saw this, she immediately ordered someone to do it for him.

The little guy had been bored in Qingxi Book House for a long time. Now he came out to get some fresh air. He felt a little more relaxed. When the gourd chicken was served, he immediately became greedy when he smelled the fragrance.

He has been with Kangxi every day recently, and has lost weight. The other princes are very worried. Now, when they see him start eating gourd chicken, Yinreng and Yinqi finally feel relieved.

Yinreng even took the opportunity to order someone to bring some chicken soup over, and sat next to him, feeding him from time to time while he was eating the gourd chicken.

The Queen Mother saw how close the brothers were and a kind and gratified smile appeared on her face.

Qingxi Book House.

When the little guy came back, Kangxi was taking medicine.

"Ama give!"

When Cheng'an saw that he had finished drinking the medicine, he immediately took out a piece of candy from his pouch and put it into his mouth.

Kangxi held the candy he fed him and asked with a smile about his meeting with the Queen Mother.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell Ma that you were sick..."

As the little guy held his hand and talked, Kangxi, who felt a little dizzy again, slowly lay down. At first he was listening to him carefully, but soon his eyes gradually closed.

Perhaps due to his old age, Kangxi's illness was very recurrent this time. It was not the first time that he suddenly fell asleep while talking to the little one.

After the little guy went out for a while to change his mood, he still had a smile on his face, but when he saw his father fell asleep again, his eyes suddenly began to turn red.

Woohoo, Amahoo…

Looking at his father's thin and pale face, and thinking about how he had been lying in bed recently and often sleeping for a long time, the little guy shed tears silently.

Probably because he was afraid of disturbing his sleep, the little guy pursed his lips tightly and dared not cry out loud, just kept shedding tears.

I don’t want my father to be sick…

Just when the little one was crying until his eyes were blurred, one of the tears with a faint glow fell on the back of Kangxi's hand.

It was not until the little guy's shoulders began to shake slightly from crying that Liang Jiugong, who was waiting not far away, noticed that he was crying and hurried over to comfort him.

The little guy raised his hand and said "hush", then wiped his tears and whispered: "I won't cry, I can't disturb my father's sleep."

One is the master whom he has served all his life, and the other is the little master whom he has watched grow up. When Liang Jiugong heard his words, his eyes became a little hot and he couldn't help but turn his head to wipe away his tears secretly.

The little girl wiped away her tears, then lay down on the edge of the bed, leaning against Kangxi's hand, blinking her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, Liang Jiugong found that he had fallen asleep leaning against the bed. He wanted to order someone to carry him to the bed to sleep, but he found that he was holding Kangxi's hand tightly.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and he had no choice but to get a thick cloak to cover the little guy.

As the sun sets, the light in the house gradually dims.

While the little guy was still sleeping soundly on the bed, Kangxi opened his eyes and woke up.

Compared to his previous headaches, fatigue, and general discomfort, Kangxi felt much better when he woke up this time.

Feeling the touch on his hand, he raised his head slightly and saw the little guy lying on the bed with red eyes.

Kangxi guessed why he was crying. After sighing in his heart, he moved towards the bed and signaled Liang Jiugong and others to carry him to the bed.

With his cooperation, Liang Jiugong and others finally got the little guy to lie down on the bed.

However, the little guy opened his eyes not long after he got to the bed. When he met Kangxi's gaze, he immediately sat up and called him, "Father, you're awake!"

"Are you still sleeping?" Kangxi stretched out his hand and hugged him in his arms and asked.

Cheng An opened his arms and hugged him, shook his head and asked expectantly: "Are you well, Father?"

"It won't be that fast, but it will be a little better."

"Very good!"

After this day, Kangxi's health began to improve day by day, and the little guy finally smiled more often.

Kangxi knew his own body well. He had even been thinking about his funeral affairs in his mind a few days ago. He would gradually recover, and his eyes would fall on the little guy who was becoming more and more clingy beside him.

The little one being watched was hugging his arm, with his head resting on him, and asked softly, "Ama, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Before, when Kangxi was bedridden, the little guy didn't dare to lean on him too hard. But now that he could get out of bed by himself and sit on the bed for a while, he finally dared to stick to him.

Kangxi casually ordered a few dishes, all of which were the little guy's favorites, including gourd chicken.

Obviously, he felt sorry for the little guy because he had lost weight recently after being with him, so he wanted him to eat more to make up for the weight.

"Father, you are so nice~" Cheng'an rubbed his head against him happily when he heard about the gourd chicken.

At lunch, the little guy wanted to feed him out of habit.

"I can do it myself." Kangxi took the bowl and chopsticks from his hand and said.

Even though he has

Even though he still has the strength to eat by himself, I couldn't help but feed the little guy while he was eating.

"Come here, have some soup."

Kangxi felt a little helpless, but thinking of his thoughtfulness these days, he couldn't refuse.

At the end of November, Kangxi finally recovered, and his complexion looked pretty good because of the little guy's hard work in feeding him. The only sign that he had been ill was that he was much thinner than before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After recovering from his illness, Kangxi prepared to resume his morning court session. However, he encountered a problem on the first day of his return to court.

"Father, go to bed and don't go to court." The little guy lay in his arms to stop him from getting up.

Kangxi gently pushed him and said, "Why don't you let me attend the court?"

"It's still dark and so cold outside. What if you get sick again?" The little guy said as he hugged him tighter, obviously frightened by his sudden illness this time.

Kangxi was very touched by his concern, but he obviously couldn't not attend the court, so he could only coax him to get up: "Be obedient, I am the emperor, how can an emperor not attend the morning court."

"No." The little guy shook his head and gave him an idea, "My brothers have to go to court anyway, let them go in Father's place."

Kangxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "There's no way to replace this."

In the end, in order to go to court, Kangxi had to take the little guy with him.

When they came out of Qingxi Book House, the little fellow did not turn into a little golden dragon. Instead, he held his hand and walked to the imperial chariot while muttering, "Father, you are so disobedient. It was so dark and windy, but you still insisted on going to court..."

Kangxi had indeed been quite indulgent towards him recently, but he could not stand his nagging. After he sat in the imperial chariot with him, he immediately reached out and gently pinched his face and asked, "Are you my father or am I my father?"

When the little guy saw his stern face, he immediately threw himself into his arms and stopped talking.

Kangxi chuckled and reached out to hold the warm little guy in his arms.

When the imperial carriage stopped, Kangxi didn't need to remind him, the little guy consciously turned into a little golden dragon and circled around his wrist.

After a long time, Kangxi returned to court. While the civil and military officials in the hall shouted "Long live the emperor" three times, they had different thoughts in their minds.

Kangxi glanced at everyone below, revealing the majesty unique to an emperor, making people dare not look directly at him.

When some guilty officials noticed his gaze, they couldn't help but lower their heads even lower.

The court session had been suspended for such a long time and there were many things to do today. After the little guy secretly glanced at his brothers below, he fell asleep in Kangxi's palm unknowingly.

In the next few days, the little guy followed him to court, and was relieved to see that he was not sick again.

That morning, Kangxi saw him following him to Danning Residence again and couldn't help but remind him, "Isn't it time for you to go to school?"

These days, Cheng'an is like a little tail, going wherever his father goes.

Kangxi was at his softest towards him and was reluctant to say anything to him, but seeing that he was going to follow him all the way unless he said anything, he had to speak up.

"I am reading~" The little guy raised the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand and gestured to him.

Recently, he has not gone to study with Yinreng, but has stayed with Kangxi and memorized the "Analects of Confucius" by heart.

Kangxi looked at him helplessly, then deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "I am not worried about people not knowing me, but I am worried about not knowing people. What do you mean?"

"What this means is, don't worry about others not understanding you..."

The little guy was very smart. As long as it was something that Yinreng had taught him, Kangxi could solve it.

But even so, he couldn't stand Kangxi testing him whenever he had time, so after being tested from morning to night for three days, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and went back to find his brother with the "Analects of Confucius".

Kangxi looked at his hurried back, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

To be honest, he was already surprised that the little guy could hold on for three days. He felt inexplicably happy and was more motivated to deal with the memorials in the future.

On the other hand, Yinreng thought that he would not see the little guy come to study with him this year, but he came unexpectedly.

It was quite surprising.

When the little guy approached, Yinreng saw the angry expression on his face and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you not want to see your second brother?"

"No, I miss my second brother so much!" The little guy opened his arms and hugged him.

Yinreng reached out and held him in his arms, lowered his head and gently touched his forehead and asked: "Then why are you puffing up your face?"

"It's my father, he always tests me..." the little guy complained.

Yinreng guessed the reason why the emperor tested him after a little thought, and rubbed his head with a smile: "Then you should study hard and make sure that the emperor will not be able to test you in the future."

"Okay, I will study hard and then go back to take the exam for my father!" said the little guy, holding up the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand.

Seeing how ambitious he was, Yinreng encouraged him with a smile and then took him to Wuyizhai to study.

Because the little guy had been sticking close to Kangxi recently, the other princes had few chances to see him. After learning the news that he had finally returned to study with Yinreng, they all came to Wuyizhai, and Wuyizhai became lively for a while.
