Cheng'an woke up not long after being sent back to Qianqing Palace from Xian'an Palace. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. He didn't feel strange when he found that it was his father instead of his second brother next to him.

In order to make it easier for him to sleep, the small square table on the Luohan bed had been removed long ago. Kangxi sat at the other end with a few boxes in front of him, and seemed to be looking at the contents.

After Cheng An crawled to his side, he immediately realized that it was a gift from his second brother: "An An Da."

"I know it's yours." Kangxi said, and then he saw that he had stretched out his little hand to pull the box towards him, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

Although he had played with these things in Xian'an Palace, Cheng'an was still very happy when he looked at them again after waking up from a nap.

Seeing that he was so happy that he laughed out loud, and thinking of the pile of gifts that belonged to him in the side hall, Kangxi directly picked him up and said, "Come on, my father will take you to see what gifts your third brother and others have sent."

When Cheng'an heard that his other brothers also gave him gifts, the smile on his face became even brighter before he even saw the gifts.

The father and son soon came to the side hall, where the gifts had not yet been sorted out, and brocade boxes of all sizes were piled up into a small mountain.

Seeing so many boxes, Cheng'an exclaimed "Wow" and couldn't wait to twist off Kangxi.

There were really a lot of things, but the little guy was most interested in the ones given by his brothers.

There were many kinds of gifts. In addition to various things suitable for his age, there were also jade, gold and silver items. The most common one was jade pendants, which were given to almost every prince.

In addition, there are some more distinctive ones. For example, the gift for Yinzhen included a set of small study treasures, which looked very cute and was just right for him at his age.

There is also Yinzhen. Perhaps because he still remembered playing the game of pitching pot with him before, this time he specially gave him a small version of the game suitable for him to play.

Yinzhen gave him a lot of Western toys.

As for Yin'e, no one knew what he was thinking, and he even prepared a box of crispy candies as a gift.

The little guy with a keen sense of smell quickly discovered the box of candy. His eyes suddenly lit up as if he had found a treasure. He opened the box, picked up a candy and put it in his mouth.

"What are you eating?" Kangxi probably didn't expect there would be food here, and he was a little slow to react.

Cheng An saw that he had been discovered, so he pushed the candy to one side of his cheek with his tongue, then took another candy from the box and raised it up: "Ama, eat it!"

Kangxi looked at his slightly puffy cheeks, then at the candy in his hand, and couldn't help but gnashing his teeth secretly: Good old ten, you really want to get your skin scratched...

The fact that Yin'e secretly fed sugar to Kangxi had been exposed before, so Kangxi thought of him directly without asking.

Today is the little guy's birthday, so Kangxi naturally wouldn't scold him for such a small matter. He took the candy from his hand and took the candy box in front of him.

"Brother..." The little guy pointed at himself, "An'an."

Obviously he was expressing that the candy was given to him by his brother and he didn't want Kangxi to take it away.

"I'll keep it for you first." After saying this, Kangxi handed the box directly to Liang Jiugong.

When Liang Jiugong saw that the young prince's gaze turned to his hand, he quickly stepped back and found a place to put it.

Cheng An was a little disappointed that the candy was taken away, but fortunately he had not finished the one in his mouth, and the sweet taste could at least give him some comfort.

He turned around and continued to search through the gifts, wanting to see if there was anything delicious, but he was disappointed.

"This set of four treasures of the study given by the fourth brother is quite good." When Kangxi saw the small set of four treasures of the study, he picked it up and looked at it, then directly ordered someone to put it on his desk.

He didn't want Cheng'an to start practicing calligraphy right now, but he thought that if the little guy was interested, he could use this to practice first.

Time passed slowly. After Kangxi accompanied Cheng'an to look at the gifts that belonged to him, he remembered that he had not given him anything yet, so he couldn't help but hugged his son.

"Tell me, what do you want father to give you?" While asking, Kangxi had already started to choose in his private library, wondering what else he might like besides the jade pendant.

Cheng An blinked his eyes and understood what Ama said. His clear eyes became even brighter: "Yes, brother!"

He was thinking about it when he just woke up. He had seen all the other brothers, but he didn't know where Brother Da was. He was about to ask him, but was distracted by the gift.

Kangxi didn't expect him to say this. To be honest, if he had not checked before and made sure that no one had mentioned Yinzhi to him, he would have suspected that someone was plotting something.

"Who mentioned your elder brother to you?" This time, Kangxi did not change the subject, but asked him directly.

Cheng An tilted his head to look at him, not understanding why he asked that, but he still answered obediently: "No."

In fact, he was still wondering why Da Ge had never come to see him after he had been out for so long. The last time he asked Bage, Bage wouldn't let him mention it.

"Then how do you know there is an older brother?" After asking, Kangxi felt that he was talking nonsense. After all, if there is a second brother and a third brother, there must be an older brother.

So he gave up without waiting for Cheng An's answer and changed the topic to: "Do you really want to see your elder brother that much?"

When he asked this, it was obvious that his attitude had softened.

This is not surprising. It is not the first time that the little guy mentioned "Da Ge". Seeing how persistent he is, and today is his birthday, how could Kangxi, who has always doted on him, be willing not to fulfill his wish.

After all, regardless of other things, it’s not a big deal for a younger brother to want to see his older brother.

"Yes." Cheng'an nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Kangxi actually agreed in his heart, but he still felt a little unhappy when he thought that he had to meet the boss who had no brotherly love at all: "If I meet your eldest brother, there will be nothing else."

"Yeah." Cheng An nodded obediently.

In this case, Kangxi had nothing to say. He rubbed his head randomly and said, "Okay."

Seeing that his father had finally agreed to let him see Da Ge, Cheng An smiled happily and pointed to the door and said, "Let's go!"

"Why are you leaving? Can't you see it's getting dark?" Kangxi reached out and tapped him on the forehead, then held him and prepared to go back for dinner.

Cheng An hugged him and flicked his hand and said, "Yes, brother."

"I got it. I'll have someone take you there tomorrow." Kangxi's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

The next morning, when Kangxi opened his eyes, he saw an innocent smiling face.

Seeing that his father had finally woken up, Cheng An, who was lying quietly on him, immediately opened his mouth: "Ah..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Kangxi raised his hand to cover his mouth and said unhappily, "I know you want my elder brother. Wait until I leave the court before you speak."

Seeing that his father already knew, Cheng'an shut his mouth and stopped talking.

When Kangxi got up to change his clothes, he saw his expectant look and could not help but threaten him: "Your elder brother is not a good-tempered person. If he gets angry and beats you, don't come to me and cry later."

"No, brother." Cheng An wanted to say that his elder brother would not hit him. He even said that he would teach him how to fly.

Kangxi couldn't help but snorted: "You haven't seen him, how do you know he won't beat you?"

"No." Cheng An shook his head to defend his brother.

When Kangxi saw how much he trusted Yinzhi, the scene of him eagerly telling him that he could kill the prince for him emerged in his mind again, and his expression turned slightly cold.

Cheng An felt that his father was suddenly unhappy, so he climbed down from the bed and hugged him.

Although the little guy can be a headache occasionally, he is extremely caring most of the time.

Kangxi looked down at him and finally sighed silently: "Go if you want to. If you are not happy staying here, come back early."

Several years have passed in a flash, and he is not sure what his eldest son's temper is like now.

"Yeah." Cheng An nodded obediently and didn't bother him anymore.

After Kangxi went to the morning court, Cheng'an stuffed the remaining jade pendant from the previous day's one-year-old ceremony into the pouch around his waist, ready to give it to Da Ge.

After taking the gifts, he sat on the edge of the couch, swinging his legs happily, waiting for Kangxi to come back.

After waiting for a long time, Kangxi finally came back, followed by Yinsi.

"Ama! Brother!" The little guy who had been waiting for a long time immediately ran down from the couch after seeing them.

After Yinsi came down from the morning court, he was kept by Kangxi. He was wondering what might happen, but when he saw the little guy's bright smile, a gentle smile also appeared on his face.

With Kangxi around, he didn't dare hug his younger brother casually, but when the little guy reached out to grab his sleeve, he still took the opportunity to hold his little hand.

Cheng An thought that the myna was playing with him, so he smiled and grabbed his hand again before turning to Kang Xi and saying, "Father wants my brother."

Yinsi didn't expect that he would say it directly now even though he had just reminded him not to mention this matter in front of the Emperor. He couldn't help but feel worried for him.

Yinsi has always been known as the Eighth Wise King in the court because of his gentle personality and his warm and friendly attitude towards others.

But at this moment, the good-tempered boy became a little angry, and he didn't understand who would plot against such a young child.

"Father Emperor, Cheng'an..." Just as Yinsi was about to speak for him, Kangxi raised his hand to interrupt him.

Since the youngest son was so devoted to his elder brother, Kangxi wanted him to finish his visit and come back sooner, so he said, "Take Cheng'an to Yinzhi's residence, and remember to take good care of him and make sure nothing goes wrong."

The reason why Kangxi chose Yinsi to take Cheng'an with him was, on the one hand, because he was the only prince who had been raised by Concubine Hui and had the closest relationship with Yinzhi; on the other hand, he had a gentle personality and seemed to be able to take care of people.

Yinsi was a little surprised to hear what the emperor said. After all, there were people who pleaded for his elder brother after he was imprisoned, but they were severely punished. To this day, no one even dared to mention him in front of the emperor.

Although he was surprised, he naturally did not dare to neglect Kangxi's order, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I will take good care of Cheng'an."

Not long after, Yinsi held Cheng'an in his arms and got on the carriage out of the palace, accompanied by a team of guards sent by Kangxi.

Cheng'an had only ridden in the imperial sedan before, and the sedan in the palace was carried by people. This was his first time riding in a horse-drawn carriage. After getting on the carriage, he looked around curiously and even lifted the curtain to see the horse in front.

Yinsi liked to think too much. All the way from the Qianqing Palace he was guessing the purpose of his father's action, but unfortunately he had no clue at all.

Seeing the little guy's curious look, Yinsi felt more relaxed. He patted his head and held him in his arms: "Sit tight, the car will start moving soon."

"What?" Cheng An asked after sitting in his arms, pointing outside with his little hand.

Yinsi said in a gentle tone: "That's a horse. Didn't your tenth brother give you a small wooden horse before?"

After he said that, Cheng An thought about it and nodded with a smile.

Compared to the palace where rules were enforced everywhere, it was naturally much more lively outside the palace. After a while, Cheng An leaned on the car window and looked outside curiously.

Yinsi did not stop him, but just put his hand under his chin to prevent him from accidentally bumping into it.

The capital city is divided into the inner and outer cities, and the princes' mansions are naturally in the inner city.

After leaving the palace, they arrived at Yinzhi's mansion soon.

There are actually quite a few mansions in this area, but only Yinzhi's is the most special because his mansion is heavily guarded by troops.

Cheng'an, who was leaving the palace for the first time, found everything new to him and he didn't take his eyes off the outside until the carriage stopped.

The guards outside the palace saw a carriage parked at the door and immediately shouted, "Who is coming?"

Outside the carriage, the eunuch beside Yinsi went straight forward to negotiate with the other party.

Kangxi gave them a token before they came out, so even though the guards were a little surprised, they would not stop them.

After Yinsi carried Cheng'an off the carriage, the guards at the door saluted them and opened the door.

All the food and drink utensils in the mansion were brought in through the back door, so the main door had not been opened for a long time.

After Yinsi carried Cheng'an and his men in, he discovered at first glance that the mansion was already somewhat dilapidated.

"Who are you?"

It was a while after the two brothers came in that a few servants discovered them.

The eunuchs around Yinsi saw the servants being so rude and immediately scolded them, "How dare you! These are the Eighth Prince and the Twenty-Fourth Prince."

Upon hearing this, the servants were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Eighth brother is so majestic." Yinzhi came out of the house at some point and saw the people in his house kneeling on the ground with a half-smile on their faces.

He was locked up in his prime, and even though his mansion was not small, it still made people feel suffocated and wanted to go crazy.

However, compared to Yinreng's thinness, he didn't look that thin, he just didn't look very energetic.

"Big brother." Yinsi looked over and thought about how high-spirited his big brother was at the beginning. He was the only one among the brothers who dared to confront the prince. He couldn't help feeling complicated.

Cheng'an in his arms felt at ease when he heard Yinzhi's familiar voice. He kicked his feet twice and rubbed himself off Yinsi's arms, then ran towards Yinzhi: "Brother Da!"

Yinzhi didn't hear what he said clearly. When he saw him suddenly run over and hug his legs, his first reaction was to kick him away. Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself in the end.

It can only be said that it was a good thing that he neglected to practice martial arts during the days he was locked up, otherwise Cheng An would have been kicked away before he even got close to him.

The soft little body was pressed against his legs. It was the first time in his life that Yinzhi felt uncomfortable all over. He immediately said, "Yinsi, take care of your son!"

When Yinsi heard this, his expression froze for a moment, then turned to helplessness: "This is my twenty-fourth brother Cheng'an."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhi looked down and saw a bright smiling face.

"Brother~"

This time, Yinzhi finally heard clearly that he seemed to be calling him "Big Brother".

"Why did you bring this baby who can't even speak clearly here?" Yinzhi said, and motioned for him to come over and pull the man away.

In Yinsi's impression, his eldest brother had been more domineering since childhood, so in order to prevent him from getting angry and throwing the little guy away without caring about anything, he quickly took two steps at a time and picked up Cheng'an.

After the person on his lap was taken away, Yinzhi felt much more at ease.

"It's rare for you to come and see me. Come on, sit inside." Yinzhi actually had no ill will towards him. What he said when they met just now was just a casual remark made when he was angry.

Seeing that he actually came to see him, Yinzhi's expression calmed down again. He felt that it was worth it that he wanted to support him after he had lost hope in becoming the successor.

After Yinsi carried Cheng'an in with him, he did not take the credit for himself, but told the truth: "Cheng'an wanted to see you today, so I could follow him in."

"Him?" Yinzhi looked at the baby in his arms with suspicion in his tone.

It's not his fault that he didn't believe it. It was because Cheng'an's age showed that he was born in the past two years. They had never seen him before, and he was so young, so why would he want to see him.

"Although I don't know the reason, it was indeed him who told the Emperor that he wanted to see you." Yinsi said.

Yinzhi laughed at himself when he heard this: "Isn't the Emperor angry?"

As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but recall the expression on his father's face when he wanted to kill him.

After being imprisoned, Yinzhi actually reflected on himself and realized that he was too complacent after dethroning the crown prince, which led to his loss of control. If he had been able to keep a balance, he would not have fallen into such a situation...

Yinsi didn't know how to respond to this, because although Kangxi asked him to bring Cheng'an over, his expression at the time was obviously not very good, so he could only remain silent.

Yinzhi did not ask any more questions, but instead fixed his gaze on the baby in his arms who was still smiling at him: "Come here."

Cheng'an had just taken the jade pendant out of his purse, but when he heard his elder brother calling him, he immediately slid off Yinsi's legs.

"Da Ge!" After he ran to Yinzhi, he immediately climbed up his legs with skillful movements.

It was the first time that Yinzhi had seen such a self-familiar baby. After being stunned for a while, he saw that he had crawled into his arms.

Are kids nowadays so brave? No wonder they dared to tell the emperor that they wanted to see him...

Just when Yinzhi was thinking about something else, Cheng'an, who had sat in his arms, raised his hand and said, "Brother, give it to me."

When Yinzhi saw the jade pendant in his hand, he subconsciously took it, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face.

However, after Yinsi saw the jade pendant clearly, he explained, "This is the jade pendant that Cheng'an got at the Zhou-Zhua Ceremony yesterday."

I thought he was going to keep it for himself, but unexpectedly he gave it to his eldest brother. Yinsi felt a little surprised when he thought about it.

"Then what is he for me?" Yinzhi said as he looked at the little guy in his arms, and suddenly found that he was more handsome than Yin'er when he was a child.

Cheng An raised his little face and said, "Give it to Da Ge."

"You have good taste." Seeing that he gave him the jade pendant and was close to him, Yinzhi became more patient with him and stopped the action of chasing him away.

After casually placing the jade pendant on the table next to him, Yinzhi looked at him and asked, "Why did you tell the Emperor that you wanted to see me?"

This was a matter of course for Cheng An, but he didn't quite understand why he asked that.

Seeing him tilting his head and looking at him, Yinzhi tapped him on the forehead and said, "Speak."

Yinsi couldn't help but say after seeing this: "Cheng'an is still young and doesn't know anything. Maybe someone mentioned his elder brother in front of him and he became curious."

Yinzhi thought about it and agreed. What could a one-year-old child know? His skin was so tender that it turned red when he touched it lightly. He raised his hand to help rub it.

It would have been fine if he didn't rub it, but as soon as he rubbed it, Cheng'an's forehead turned red.

Fortunately, the little guy's skin was indeed tender, so he didn't feel any pain. When he saw his brother touching him, he smiled and threw himself into his arms and hugged him.

After being embraced by the little body with a milky scent, Yinzhi's body instantly stiffened. He was very uncomfortable with this kind of closeness which seemed a little too sticky to him.

"Yinsi, come quickly and take him away!" he shouted after coming to his senses.

Yinsi did not expect that his fearless elder brother would be afraid of this. He did not show it on his face, but he felt a little funny in his heart.

He did not act immediately, but said: "Cheng'an just likes you." He did not dare to say the second half of the sentence "Brother, why should you be nervous?"

Hearing the word "like", Yinzhi couldn't stand it anymore and threatened immediately: "If you don't come, he will cry and I won't comfort him."

Hearing that his words implied he was going to take action, Yinsi didn't dare to take the risk and could only go over and pick up the little guy who was clinging to his arms.

"Brother Da..." Cheng'an, who still had something to say to him, waved his little hand at him.

After he was taken away, Yinzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt that there was a smell of milk left on his body by him.

Seeing that he was still waving his hands towards him, Yinzhi crossed his arms across his chest in a gesture of rejection.

Come to think of it, he was also puzzled. It was clearly the first time they met, so why did this guy like to stick to him so much?

However, Yinsi saw that Cheng'an still wanted to find his eldest brother, so he reminded him in his ear not to throw himself on his eldest brother again, and then put him to the ground.

Cheng'an probably took his words to heart, and after landing he did not climb onto Yinzhi again, but stood in front of him and said, "Da Ge Yi Ya Hui Ya~"

Although Yinzhi was not used to his clinginess, he did not dislike him. When he heard him talking to him, he turned around and asked, "What did he say?"

Most people would not have thought that he came to Yinzhi to fulfill his promise to teach him how to fly, so after thinking about it seriously, Yinsi could only shake his head to indicate that he did not know.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Yinzhi didn't bother to bother with it and started chatting with him instead.

It was Da Ge himself who promised to teach An An Fei...

Seeing that Da Ge ignored him, Cheng An puffed up his cheeks a little unhappily.

If he wasn't sure that this was Brother Da, he would have suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.

But why didn't Da Ge teach An An to fly anymore? Is it because he didn't understand?

Cheng An thought about what his elder brother had just asked Bage, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and said it again seriously: "Da Ge Yi Ya Hui Ya~"

Yinzhi still didn't understand what he was saying. Just then, a servant came up with tea and snacks, so he picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

This was a kind of snack that Cheng'an had never eaten before. It was sweet and soft, and so delicious that he immediately stretched out his little hand to hold it and eat it.

Seeing how happily he was eating, Yinzhi took another piece and stuffed it into his hand, hoping that he would stop coming to him after having the snack.

Da bro is so nice~

Cheng'an had one piece in his mouth and another in his hand. Not knowing what Yinzhi was thinking, his eyes curved into crescents.
