Yonghe Palace.

When Concubine De saw her youngest son coming over, she immediately smiled, had his favorite snacks served, and then began to ask about his recent diet and daily life.

Yinzhen followed her lead and chatted for a few minutes before casually asking his own doubts: "I wanted to go see Cheng'an today, but the Emperor wouldn't let me. Do you know why, mother?"

Ever since he met Cheng'an, Yinzhen has often mentioned his younger brother in front of Concubine De.

After listening to him so many times, Concubine De began to have some favorable impression on this little prince who could make her son happy.

After thinking for a moment, Concubine De said, "Mother, I heard that your father took Cheng'an to Xian'an Palace yesterday."

As the head of a palace, her sources of information were very wide. In addition, Kangxi did not deliberately conceal his itinerary yesterday, so it was no wonder that she knew about it.

When Yinzhen heard this, his first reaction was: "Could it be that the Emperor wants to reinstate the Crown Prince?"

There were no outsiders in the hall at that time, but Concubine De still patted his hand to remind him not to talk nonsense.

After a moment of silence in the hall, she spoke: "No matter what happens, it can never happen again."

Her implication was obviously that it was impossible for the emperor to reinstate the crown prince.

Yinzhen had just spoken hastily, but now he thought about it and realized that it was indeed unlikely that the Emperor would reinstate the Crown Prince.

"What does him taking Cheng'an to Xian'an Palace have to do with me visiting Cheng'an?" Yinzhen didn't understand the relationship, especially why the emperor father took Cheng'an to Xian'an Palace.

De Fei guessed: "Perhaps Cheng An is not in the Palace of Heavenly Purity right now."

I can only say that she is worthy of being a concubine who rose from a palace maid. She is very thoughtful and she really guessed it right.

"Not in the Ganqing Palace? Then in..." Before Yinzhen finished asking the question, he realized that Cheng'an was most likely in the Xian'an Palace.

Thinking that the emperor had only one son, the prince, in his eyes, and the rest of them combined were no match for him, and now that the prince had been deposed, the emperor actually took Cheng'an to see him and even sent Cheng'an to accompany him, Yinzhen unconsciously crushed the cake that he had just held in his hand and forgot to eat.

Before, Yinzhen thought that the emperor favored Cheng'an, but now, he suddenly felt that the most important person in his heart was always the crown prince.

With the prince's temper, what good could Cheng'an get from him? The emperor was willing to send Cheng'an to Xian'an Palace...

Thinking of the little guy who called him brother in a baby voice, Yinzhen felt a little unfair for him.

"No, I have to go and bring him out!" It would have been fine if Yinzhen didn't think about it, but when he thought about it, he even felt that he could faintly hear his brother's crying in his ears, so he immediately got up and walked out.

"Yinzhen, where are you going?" Seeing that he was just a wind, Concubine De quickly raised her voice and ordered, "Quickly stop the Fourteenth Prince!"

When the people outside the palace heard her words, they wanted to stop her, but with Yinzhen's skills, how could they stop him?

After coming out of Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen went straight to Xian'an Palace at a very fast pace.

In his opinion, it must be Yinreng who asked to keep Cheng'an after meeting him. Cheng'an is weak and helpless and cannot make his own decisions, so he might be bullied.

Feeling that he couldn't let him call him "brother" so many times in vain, Yinzhen walked faster and faster. When he reached a palace road, he almost bumped into Yinzhen who was coming towards him.

Yinzhen saw him rushing around in the palace and frowned subconsciously: "Where are you going?"

Yinzhen has never been nice to his brother, who is from the same mother as him. When he was about to say "What's it to you?", he suddenly realized that it would be nice to have a helper.

"The Emperor has sent Cheng'an to Xian'an Palace. I will go pick him up."

Of course Yinzhen knew what Xian'an Palace was. His first reaction when he heard his words was that maybe Cheng'an had angered the emperor. But then he thought, even if he really had angered the emperor, the emperor would not bother with him given his age, let alone send him to Xian'an Palace and lock him up.

"Why is he in Xian'an Palace? But the Emperor asked you to pick him up?" Yinzhen asked.

It was rare for Yinzhen to speak to him in a friendly tone. Seeing that he was still talking so much nonsense, he immediately became impatient: "Why are you asking so many questions? Just ask whether you want to come with me to pick up Cheng'an!"

When Yinzhen heard this, he guessed why Cheng'an didn't mention it in Xian'an Palace first. He must have acted on his own initiative by picking him up.

"I'll talk to you after I go see the Emperor first." Yinzhen came to the palace to pay his respects to Kangxi and to see Cheng'an.

When Yinzhen heard this, he immediately felt that he was shirking his responsibility, and immediately stood up for Cheng'an: "Cheng'an calls you brother all the time and even gave you his only jade, and you actually treat him like this!"

He felt a little jealous when talking about the jade pendant. After all, so many of them had given Cheng'an a jade pendant, but only Yinzhen got the jade pendant that he gave back.

He said this before the matter was clear. Yinzhen felt that he was being unreasonable. Just when he was about to talk to him in detail, he saw that he had already continued to walk away quickly in the direction of Xian'an Palace.

Yinzhen frowned, wanting to ignore him but afraid that he might cause trouble, so he finally followed him.

Xian'an Palace.

Cheng'an didn't know that he had become the poor little thing in Yinzhen's heart, thrown into Xian'an Palace by his father to accompany the deposed prince, and now he was having a great time playing with his second brother.

Being active is a child's nature. As he grows older, Cheng'an becomes more and more lively. Just now, after basking in the sun with Yinreng for a long time, he couldn't help but slide off his legs and hold up the cloth tiger in his arms to scare people.

Yinreng would naturally not be scared by a cloth tiger, and he was too lazy to cooperate with his childish play.

He didn't cooperate, so Cheng'an lost interest after a few "woops" and started walking around the rocking chair instead.

After a while, he found that the rocking chair would rock more obviously if he pressed it, so he put the cloth tiger on Yinreng and started playing with the rocking chair.

With his strength, it would not be so easy for him to press down the rocking chair if Yinreng did not cooperate.

In other words, Yinreng thought that instead of listening to him quarreling in his ear, it would be better to let him play in the rocking chair quietly for a while, so he secretly tried to cooperate with him.

"Brother, look." Cheng'an said excitedly, thinking that he was helping his brother rock the rocking chair.

"Well, not bad." Yinreng praised perfunctorily.

After Cheng'an came, the gate of Xian'an Palace was not closed tightly, so when Yinzhen came, he could see the scene in the courtyard at a glance with his excellent eyesight.

Yinreng was seen lying lazily on a rocking chair, with a small figure standing next to him pushing the rocking chair hard.

Yinzhen was furious when he saw that his younger brother, whom he was afraid of falling when he was holding him in his arms, was being ordered by Yinreng to sit in a rocking chair.

"Get out of the way!" He pushed away the guards blocking his way and rushed in.

"Yinzhen..." When Yinzhen, who came later, opened his mouth to remind him not to act recklessly, the other person had already gone in.

During the years when Yinreng was the crown prince, the other princes all unconsciously lowered themselves to him, and even had to bow to him when they met him.

Even though he had been deposed now, Yinzhen did not dare to lose his temper with him. After all, he was still his second brother in terms of seniority.

It was precisely because of this that Yinzhen did not yell at Yinreng even though he came in angrily. Instead, he suppressed his anger and said, "Cheng'an, come to Fourteenth Brother."

Cheng'an immediately raised his head when he heard the familiar voice, and the next second he saw his fourteenth brother and fourth brother standing outside the door.

This unexpected surprise made his eyes light up instantly. He let go of his hand on the rocking chair and ran over: "Brother!"

Yinreng had just complained about him being noisy, but when he saw him running towards Yinzhen, he inexplicably felt a little unhappy.

He sat up from the rocking chair and called out in a light tone: "Cheng'an."

Cheng'an, who was halfway through the run, heard his voice and turned around, only to see him holding his cloth tiger.

Just when Cheng'an was about to turn around to pick up his cloth tiger, Yinzhen took two quick steps and hugged him in his arms.

"Come uninvited, is this the rule of Fourteenth Brother?" Yinreng said after putting down the cloth tiger in his hand.

Yinzhen said, "I am only here to pick up Cheng'an. I hope you will forgive me for my intrusion."

He didn't want to have a conflict with Yinreng, so after saying this, he was ready to leave with the person in his arms.

"No."

He wanted to leave but Cheng'an refused to cooperate. He twisted his body and slipped out of his arms, then ran to the door to pull Yinzhen, who for some reason did not come in.

Yinzhen had no intention of entering without the emperor's permission, but was directly pulled in by the little guy with a whooshing sound.

The guards at the door saw that a Fourteenth Prince had already entered, and now the young prince insisted on pulling Prince Yong in. After a headache, they finally decided to send someone to the Qianqing Palace to report.

Cheng'an didn't know how his brothers felt at the moment, but he was quite happy at the moment. After pulling his fourth brother in, he also pulled Yinzhen along, and then he came to Yinreng holding one by one's hand.

"Brother~" Cheng An said after looking at his brothers.

As soon as Yinzhen saw his happy look, he knew that Yinzhen must have misunderstood, so he held his soft little hand and said, "Second brother."

Yinreng had no feelings for Yinzhen, but he still had some affection for Yinzhen, the brother who spoke up for him after he was deposed. He nodded in response and asked, "It's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"

“It’s OK.”

Yinzhen saw the two of them communicating, and pulled Cheng'an's little hand, motioning him to follow him.

Cheng An didn't understand what he meant, and just followed his strength and shook his hand lightly for fun.

If only Yinzhen came, Yinreng would probably not bother to pay attention to him. But now Yinzhen was there too, so he asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Since they were already here, Yinzhen naturally would not refuse, so the group moved from the courtyard into the palace.

After all, Yinreng was the son that Kangxi had favored for so many years, so even though he was imprisoned in this Xian'an Palace, he had everything he deserved.

After they sat down, a palace maid brought them tea.

"Brother, give me some water." Cheng An, who was standing aside, looked up and saw the teacup on the table, and suddenly felt like drinking some water.

Seeing him licking his lips, Yinzhen felt that Yinreng was going too far, not even giving him water to drink: "Come on, Brother Fourteen will take you to drink some water."

"I'm not leaving." Cheng An heard him asking him to leave again, shook his head and hugged his arm.

Yinzhen didn't expect that he was still unwilling to leave, and was a little surprised for a moment.

When the palace maid heard that the little prince wanted to drink water, she immediately brought him a glass of water.

After seeing the water, Yinzhen thought it would be better to pick it up and bring it to his mouth.

Seeing the water, Cheng An lowered his head and started drinking it.

As time passed, Yinzhen didn't know what to say to Yinreng, but he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He simply looked at the little guy who was drinking water and asked, "Why is Cheng'an here with my second brother?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen continued to feed water to the little guy in front of him while pricking up his ears to listen.

Yinreng said, "He came here by himself."

"How is that possible!" Yinzhen's first reaction upon hearing this was disbelief.

But Yinreng obviously would not explain to him. He glanced at him lightly and picked up the tea beside him to drink.

"Cheng'an, tell your brother how you got here?" Yinzhen asked after feeding him water.

Cheng An felt better after drinking enough water. When he heard his brother asking him a question, he stretched out his little hand and gestured a walking posture while saying, "Here, come."

What he meant was obviously that he had walked here.

After hearing what he said, Yinzhen still found it hard to believe. Seeing that the servants were there beside him, he turned around and asked.

Liu Cai, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward and said, "In reply to the Fourteenth Prince, this morning the young prince was making a fuss about going out, and we initially thought he wanted to go to the Imperial Garden, but he pointed out the way and asked us to take him here..."

Yinreng originally thought that he just happened to pass by and came to see him, but he didn't expect that he came here on purpose. He felt a little complicated for a moment.

Cheng An looked up and saw that his second brother was staring at him intently. He immediately turned around and walked up to him and climbed up his legs.

Seeing how hard he was crawling, Yinreng reached out and lifted him into his arms.

If he could still deny what Liu Cai said just now, but when he saw the scene in front of him, Yinzhen had to admit that he might have misunderstood.

After all, he knew a little about the prince's temper. The fact that he allowed Cheng'an to climb up to him said it all.

"Why did second brother let him push the rocking chair just now?" After realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood, Yinzhen's tone immediately improved.

Yinreng didn't understand what he said. Seeing that he actually thought he could bully such a small baby, he sneered: "Do you think he can push it?"

After hearing this, Yinzhen was stunned for a moment and then reacted. The rocking chair itself is not light, and with another person lying on it, it is obviously impossible for Cheng'an to push it easily with his strength.

So, sometimes what you see is not necessarily the truth.

Cheng'an didn't listen carefully to what his brothers were saying. At this moment, he was holding Yinreng's hand and amusing himself, even laughing out loud.

Who am I doing this for...

Yinzhen heard his laughter and said silently in his heart.

Cheng'an happened to look up at this moment, and seeing him looking at him, he subconsciously gave him a bright smile.

Forget it, what does he know? In the final analysis, it’s my own fault for not figuring it out.

Yinzhen saw his smiling face, shook his head, and then held up the teacup in front of him to cover his face to ease the embarrassment.

Actually, there was not much to talk about among the three brothers, but fortunately Cheng An was there, so the atmosphere was not too dull.

"Why are you drinking tea at such a young age?" Seeing that he began to reach for his teacup restlessly, Yinreng took his little hand off the table.

Cheng An saw his brothers taking a sip of tea from time to time, and he also wanted some, so he immediately hugged his arm and shook it: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Yinreng was unmoved at first, but when he stood up, put his arms around her neck and put his face close to hers, she immediately couldn't stand it.

Even Kangxi sometimes couldn't stand his youngest son's spoiled behavior, let alone him who was enjoying such treatment for the first time.

The little guy with the scent of milk has a soft face and soft hands. After being rubbed by him a few more times, even the most hard-hearted person will soften his heart.

Yinreng didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little helpless in his heart. He simply reached out and picked him up and put him in the arms of Yinzhen next to him.

Cheng An was stunned for a moment when he suddenly found a new embrace, but when he found that there was also a teacup in front of his fourth brother, he immediately hugged him and shouted: "Yes..."

Yinzhen was actually also stunned by his second brother's behavior, but after coming to his senses, he immediately said with a straight face: "Don't be silly."

Cheng An was not afraid of his cold face, which showed that after he remained unmoved, he finally gave up.

Yinzhen, who was standing by, saw his face fall and disappointment emanating from his whole body, and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

"Otherwise, let him try a small sip. Once he finds that it's not that tasty, he will naturally give up."

Hearing his words, Yinzhen glanced at him disapprovingly.

When Cheng An heard what Fourteenth Brother said, his eyes lit up again, and he stretched out his hands and shouted to him, "Brother!"

Yinzhen had long been jealous of his two brothers taking turns holding him, so he quickly took him over.

"come over."

Before Cheng'an could sit firmly in his arms, Yinreng next to him suddenly spoke, holding a teacup in his hand.

There was also a teacup in front of him, which was obviously new.

When Cheng'an saw the teacup in his second brother's hand, he immediately slid off Yinzhen's legs, trotted back to him, and raised his little face and said, "Brother."

Yinreng picked the man up and held him in his arms, then handed him the teacup in his hand.

The teacup that they could hold in one hand now required two hands to hold in Cheng'an's hand.

After holding the teacup with his two little hands, he had no hands to lift the lid, so he could only ask for help: "Brother."

Yinreng put one arm around his belly and held up the teacup in his hand, while using the other hand to open the lid of the teacup for him.

After the lid was removed, Cheng An immediately lowered his head and imitated his brothers' previous actions, leaning over the edge of the cup and taking a sip.

"Second brother, how could you let him drink tea!" Yinzhen couldn't help but say when he saw that he had coaxed the man away with tea before he even got warm in his arms.

Yinreng ignored him, but Yinzhen, who was sitting next to him and saw clearly, replied: "It's water."

It turned out that just now, after Yinreng handed the person in his arms to Yinzhen, he turned around and asked someone to bring up a cup of water in the same teacup.

In fact, Cheng'an also used a teacup to drink water before, but it was smaller and didn't have a coaster or lid.

When Yinreng saw that after he was given a similar teacup, he didn't think there was anything wrong at all. He even held the teacup and took a sip from time to time happily. He suddenly felt that he was quite easy to coax.

How silly...

Yinzhen was quite disappointed to see that he was fooled by a glass of water, but he also found it funny to see him seriously imitating their movements of tasting tea.

After using a cup of water to coax him into quietness, Yinreng and the other two stopped talking for a while and turned their attention to Cheng'an.

“No…”

The water in the cup was not too full. Cheng An took a sip from time to time and soon finished it. He immediately raised the cup and said.

"Drink next time." It was almost noon, and Yinzhen, worried that he would miss his afternoon meal if he drank any more, directly took the teacup from his hand.

Cheng'an stared at the taken away teacup for a while, and perhaps because he had had enough of it just now, he didn't make a fuss.

Seeing that his chin was wet from drinking, Yinreng picked up a handkerchief and wiped it for him.

"It's getting late. My fourteenth brother and I will take our leave first." Yinzhen said after sitting for a while.

When Yinzhen heard his words, he looked at Cheng'an and said, "Let's go, Brother Fourteen will take you to find Ama."

He knew in his heart that if he came this way, he would have to go to the Qianqing Palace to apologize.

"No." Cheng An was immediately unhappy when he heard that they were leaving, and even grabbed them to stop them from leaving, "Brother, no!"

Yinzhen was a little troubled to see that he didn't leave on his own, but kept holding them.

If they were in the Qianqing Palace, they could probably stay for a while longer, but this was the Xian'an Palace, and it was wrong for them to come here without permission, so there was no way they could stay any longer.

Yinreng saw the little one in his arms clinging to Yinzhen and the others' sleeves tightly, with his mouth pouting as if he was about to cry at any moment. He said, "Since we are here, have lunch before leaving."

When he heard the word "go", Cheng'an shook his head to indicate that he didn't want his brother to go.

Seeing that the little guy was so reluctant to leave him, Yinzhen was suddenly moved and subconsciously looked at Yinzhen.

It's not that he suddenly becomes a good brother who respects his elder brother, but he has Yinzhen by his side, so he has someone to accompany him even if he is punished by the emperor later.

It was a rare invitation from Yinreng, and with Cheng'an looking at him eagerly, Yinzhen finally agreed even though he knew he should leave.

"Okay, let's not go anymore. Hurry up and let go." Seeing him nod, Yinzhen said to the little guy who was about to pull his sleeves off.

When Cheng'an heard that he was not leaving, he immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry but now smiled again, Yinreng reached out and pinched his face speechlessly.

His brother didn't leave, and Cheng'an was happy even when his face was pinched, so he immediately raised the other side of his face.

When Yinzhen saw him like this, even though he always had good self-control, he couldn't resist the urge to pinch his upturned face.

Seeing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but move closer and said, "Let me pinch it too!"

Cheng An naturally would not refuse, but instead took the initiative to offer his face again.

However, in the end, Yinzhen was unable to pinch it because Yinreng blocked his hand intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, it was lunch time and soon a eunuch came in with two food boxes.

"Eat!" Cheng'an smiled as soon as he saw the food box, especially when he thought of the delicious fish his second brother gave him yesterday.

Yinzhen was not very hungry at first, but seeing that he was so looking forward to the meal, he actually felt a little hungry.

Because there were so many people, the dishes on the table were very rich.

"Let me feed him. I've fed him before!" Yinzhen said immediately after the dishes were set.

Yinreng ignored him and directly picked up Cheng'an's special small bowl.

Today, the imperial kitchen prepared chicken noodle soup for him. The chicken soup simmered slowly over low heat and paired with freshly made dragon beard noodles smelled very delicious.

"ah……"

Cheng'an, who is always very active when eating, opened his little mouth wide before Yinreng picked up the noodles.

Yinzhen had fed him once before and knew that feeding, although seemingly simple, was not easy to do. Didn’t you see that the Emperor rejected him when he fed him last time?

Seeing that Yinreng refused to let go, he originally wanted to watch a fool of himself, but he did not expect that although the other party was a little slow, he actually fed the child quite well.

Noodles are slippery and difficult to feed, but Yinreng is smart. He slows down his movements, feeds him a mouthful and observes, then controls the amount for the second mouthful, ensuring that Cheng'an can finish it in one bite without splashing soup everywhere.

After watching for a while, Yinzhen had to accept it even though he was unwilling to do so.
