"My eldest brother is still young and can't eat so many snacks." Yinsi felt a headache when he saw his eldest brother's behavior.

Yinzhi waved his hand and said, "It's just two pieces of dessert. What's the big deal?"

Yinsi thought that two pieces of snacks were not much for them, but it was really a lot for the little guy. You know, the emperor only allowed him three pieces a day.

However, before he could finish his words, Yinzhi had already pulled him aside to talk about another topic.

Perhaps because he had been imprisoned for too long, Yinzhi was talkative at this time and would ask Yinsi questions about everything he thought of.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he has no one to talk to in the mansion, but that he has nothing to talk about with the people who are also imprisoned in the mansion.

As he was talking, Yinzhi thought of Yinreng and finally couldn't help asking, "He wasn't released, was he?"

Yinzhi knew that the emperor's father obviously favored his son Yinreng more than himself, otherwise he would not have reinstated him as the crown prince after deposing him.

It was precisely because of this that during the days he was locked up in the palace, he occasionally couldn't help but wonder whether the Emperor had already released the other party.

He felt a little more at ease when he thought that Yinreng was also imprisoned. If the other party had been released, even if he could not do anything, he would still feel unhappy.

Yinsi almost subconsciously realized who the "he" Yinzhi was talking about, and shook his head and said, "No."

Hearing this, Yinzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While the two brothers were talking, Cheng'an was eating a piece of dessert in each hand with great relish. While eating, he looked back and forth at his two brothers who kept saying that he couldn't understand what they were saying.

He finished the last small piece of snack in his hand in one gulp. The little fellow who hadn't eaten enough probably thought that Brother Da was a nice person, so he raised his head and said, "Brother Da, eat."

When Yinzhi heard his voice, he lowered his head and saw him pointing his little hand at the snacks on the table.

After all, he is his brother, and he just gave him a jade pendant. It's just some snacks, so he naturally won't be stingy.

Yinzhi grabbed two more pieces of dessert and stuffed them into his hand.

Wow!

Cheng'an's eyes lit up when he saw two more dim sum in his hand.

"Brother!" Yinsi shouted disapprovingly, then stood up, picked up the snacks on the table and placed them on the upper level of the Duobao Pavilion not far away.

So what?

"Eighth Brother, why have you become so nagging now?" Yinzhi couldn't help but ask as he watched his actions.

After Yinsi put down the snacks, he ignored him and said to Cheng'an first: "My dear brother wants to eat snacks too."

Hearing his words, Cheng An looked at the two snacks in his hand, and finally gave one to him: "Brother, give it to me."

After thanking him, Yinsi took it and started eating.

"No, why can't you even eat the snacks of a child?" Yinzhi felt that he hadn't seen his eighth brother for a long time, and he was a little confused about it.

After he finished speaking, Cheng An thought about it and broke the remaining dessert in his hand and handed over half of it: "Brother Da, give it to me."

Yinzhi was a little surprised that he didn't protect his food even though he looked quite greedy.

Just as he was about to refuse, Yinsi said, "The Emperor only allows him to eat three pieces of dessert a day. Two pieces of dessert from my brother are equivalent to the three pieces he usually eats."

The princes had always been in awe of Kangxi, and upon hearing this, Yinzhi took half of the dessert faster than he could think.

Seeing that Da Ge was ready, Cheng An took the remaining half piece of dessert in his hand and started to eat it.

After Yinzhi took the snack, he subconsciously brought it to his mouth. It was obviously the snack he usually ate, but now, perhaps because he saw him eating it so happily, he thought it seemed to taste even better.

Half a piece of dessert was just two bites for him. After he finished eating, he asked, "What if he ate an extra half piece?"

The half piece in the little guy's hand had been almost eaten, what else could Yinsi do.

"Only half a piece should be fine."

The only thing Yinsi was thankful for at this moment was that he came out early. The little guy had not yet eaten his portion of snacks for the day. He could go back and tell him not to serve him any more, which would not have much of an impact.

The hall was quiet for a while, with only the faint sound of the little guy chewing on snacks.

"Why does he always use his front teeth to eat?" Yinzhi said after staring at him unconsciously for a while.

Yinsi looked at the little fellow eating snacks and said with a smile: "His back teeth haven't grown in yet."

Even though Cheng'an eats so happily, he is only one year old after all, and his teeth haven't grown yet.

"He loves to eat so much even before all his teeth have grown." Yinzhi couldn't remember what he looked like when he was his age, but he probably didn't eat as much as he did.

Yinsi subconsciously protected his brother: "It's just the nature of children."

While they were talking, Cheng An finally finished the snack in his hand. Seeing some snack crumbs stuck on his fingers, he subconsciously wanted to lick them, but when he remembered that his fourth brother said "非咲兀动", he finally held back.

"Brother Da."

Yinzhi saw the little hand he stretched out and patted it gently: "No more."

When Cheng'an heard his words, he blinked and looked at him with some confusion.

Yinsi understood what he meant, so he led the man in front of him, took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then bent down to wipe his hands.

The little guy obediently spread out his hands and let him wipe them, still savoring the aftertaste of the snack in his mouth.

When Yinzhi saw this, he realized that he had just extended his hand to ask him to wipe his hands.

Does my master look like such a good-tempered person?

Yinzhi was suspicious in his heart, but he looked at the harmonious scene in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Tell me the truth, Old Eighth, this is really not your son?"

It's no wonder he asked this. Even though Yinsi had a good temper since he was a child, Yinzhi had never seen him be so gentle to others since he was a child.

Perhaps he might have done so to his wife in private, but Yinzhi was sure that at least the ninth and tenth brothers, who grew up with him, had never received such treatment.

Fortunately, Yin'er and Yin'e didn't know about his idea, otherwise they would definitely tell him. Even if they did, they didn't want it. After all, just trying to put this scene into their own lives was a little unbearable.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense." Yinsi felt helpless.

After he finished speaking, Cheng An in front of him had turned into a clean baby again.

After eating, the little guy was in better spirits. He leaned over to hug the starling that helped him wipe his hands to express his gratitude, then turned around and looked at Yinzhi again: "Da Ge Yi Ya Hui Ya."

Yinzhi still didn't understand, so he guessed whether he still wanted to eat some snacks, and simply replied: "No."

When he heard his refusal, the smile on Cheng An's face disappeared instantly, and his little mouth even shrank.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry, Yinzhi, who was a little afraid that he would really cry, quickly added: "Not today, let's talk about it next time."

As he finished speaking, Yinzhi was thinking that there were many problems in the palace, and whether he could come next time was another matter.

The two of them were talking at cross purposes, but they could actually agree with each other.

After hearing what Da Ge said, Cheng An slowly regained his happy expression and stopped urging him to teach him how to fly.

Putting flying aside for the moment, the little guy came to his brother and said, "Brother Da..."

Although most of what he said was incomprehensible, Yinzhi could still feel the closeness he expressed.

Even though he felt that his closeness was a little inexplicable, Yinzhi couldn't hate him.

Seeing that he wanted to push Cheng'an away from the beginning, but was now willing to respond to his words with "hmm", Yinsi's lips curled up slightly.

"Brother Da, drink some." Maybe because he talked too much, Cheng An started to feel thirsty after a while.

When Yinzhi heard him asking him to drink, he thought to himself, how could he know that he drinks every day?

Life in seclusion in the mansion was very depressing. Yinzhi, who had no mood to do anything else, fell in love with drinking. Fortunately, he was only drunk for a while at the beginning when he had difficulty venting his emotions, but he was more restrained later.

Yinsi guessed that he didn't understand, so he explained, "He wants to drink water."

So it's not "Brother, drink it", but "Brother, drink it".

Upon hearing this, Yinzhi picked up the untouched tea in his hand and prepared to hand it to him, but Yinsi quickly stopped him: "He is still young and cannot drink tea. Ask someone to bring some water."

"It's really troublesome." Although Yinzhi said this, he immediately ordered someone to bring up a pot of clean water.

Yinsi picked up the clean water poured by the servant and fed it directly to Cheng'an, and used his other hand to wipe the water from his chin from time to time.

Yinzhi looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After feeding the little guy water, Yinsi saw that he had been here for a while and said to him, "Cheng'an, shall we go back?"

"No." Cheng'an shook his head, then ran over and pulled Yinzhi's sleeve.

Even though Da Ge refused to teach him how to fly today, Cheng An didn't want to leave at all after finally meeting Da Ge.

Yinzhi was caught off guard when he grabbed his sleeve. His first reaction was to pull away, but seeing how close he was to him and how he didn't even want to leave, he felt a little happy. In the end, he let him hold his sleeve and said, "It's rare for you to come here. Have lunch before you leave."

"Okay." Upon hearing the word "eat", Cheng An agreed immediately.

Of these two people, the younger one didn't even know how to write the word "self-awareness", and the older one acted casually. How could Yinsi dare to stay for dinner?

But he just couldn't resist the little guy who was good at acting coquettishly. He was hugged by him and called "brother" all the time. Finally, he reluctantly agreed.

Forget it. I haven’t seen my brother for a long time. This is a rare opportunity, so I might as well spend more time with him.

Yinsi thought to himself.

The two brothers had almost finished talking about what they wanted to talk about just now, so they didn't have much to say now. They both looked at the little guy who was obviously excited about being able to stay for lunch.

"Oh, the oriole is chirping~" Perhaps he was too happy, he even recited a poem.

When Yinsi heard this, he saw that he had got one more word right than before, and he couldn't help but smile and clapped lightly.

When the little prince heard his brother's applause, his chest puffed up a little and he recited again: "Ah, the oriole is chirping~"

After this, Yinzhi finally realized what he was reading. He burst out laughing and asked, "Who taught him this?"

"It seems to be the Emperor." Yinsi said.

Yinzhi: “…”

Yinzhi: "No wonder, I thought he could recite poetry at such a young age, it turns out that it was the Emperor's father who taught him."

After saying that, he looked at Cheng An and changed the subject: "What's the next sentence?"

"What?" Cheng An tilted his head and looked at him.

Seeing that he didn't know, Yinzhi simply taught him: "A line of egrets fly into the blue sky."

"Ya-ya-ah-wu-ya-ya." He read so fast that the little one, who couldn't hear clearly, simply repeated it in his own language at his rhythm.

"What are you doing?" Yinzhi was speechless.

Cheng An blinked and looked at him innocently.

Yinsi turned to his brother and said, "Brother, you read too fast."

"Okay, I'll go slower." Yinzhi said and taught again.

Cheng An followed suit and imitated: "Ya ya bai yo shang ji ji."

When he heard his poem, Yinsi laughed and clapped his hands, thinking that the "chi chi" matched the "chi chi" in the previous sentence very well.

When Yinzhi heard a good poem come out of his mouth and become like this, he said "Hey" and didn't believe it, and continued to teach.

However, it’s not that Cheng’an didn’t study hard, but that he just couldn’t pronounce some sounds correctly.

Why do I have to teach him to recite poetry?

After failing to teach him after several attempts, Yinzhi suddenly realized that he was not idle.

"Forget it, if you like it, just chirp." Yinzhi, who was not a patient man, chose to give up.

Yinsi laughed when he heard his words, and then suddenly thought that there was a sentence that might be suitable for the little guy to learn, so he taught him casually: "Cheng'an, jiji, jiji."

"Chiji, hujiji." Cheng'an shook his little head and imitated.

Upon hearing this, Yinsi smiled and praised: "Not bad, Cheng'an got four words right this time, really amazing."

The little guy laughed when he was praised, and seemed a little embarrassed as he laughed, so he threw himself into his arms and hid his face.

Is this ok?

Yinzhi looked at his eighth brother with a speechless expression.

While the brothers were chatting and playing, it was already noon.

It has been rare to have guests visiting the house in recent years, so the kitchen carefully prepared a table of delicious dishes and served them.

It is said that Kangxi finally softened his heart towards his eldest son, otherwise he would not have locked him up in his own mansion. You know, if he was locked up somewhere else, Yinzhi's life would not have been so easy.

"Come here, eighth brother, let me toast you a glass." It was rare to have someone to drink with, so Yinzhi picked up the glass as soon as he sat down at the table.

After all, he was his elder brother, so Yinsi didn't feel comfortable asking him to toast him, so he quickly picked up the cup and clinked it with his.

Cheng'an, who was sitting in his arms, watched the actions of his two brothers, and after Yinsi finished drinking, he couldn't help but said, "Brother, please."

Yinsi looked down at him and asked someone to bring him an empty, unused wine glass.

The little guy was not satisfied with the empty wine glass, and pointed at the wine jug and called his brother again.

Yinsi had long guessed that this meal would require some thought, so he ordered someone to bring a clean wine jug and a pot of water.

After the water was served, Yinsi personally poured half a cup of water into the cup in his hand.

The little guy couldn't tell the difference between water and wine, so he was very happy when he saw that there was some in his glass.

"Brother." He shouted and raised the glass.

Having long noticed that the little guy liked to imitate, Yinsi took up his wine glass and clinked it with his without being surprised.

After Cheng An clinked glasses with him, he raised his glass and looked at Yin Zhi: "Brother Da."

Yinzhi thought he was really interesting and clinked his cup with his.

After clinking glasses with his two brothers, Cheng An chuckled, then held the cup and drank.

Ignoring the fact that there was water in his cup, he looked quite genuine when he raised the cup with one hand to clink glasses, but when he held it with both hands and brought it to his mouth, he instantly became adorable again.

After playing with him, Yinsi picked up the rice in front of him and tasted it. Seeing that it was quite soft, he scooped a little bit with a spoon, picked up some steamed fish meat and put it on top before feeding it to the little guy in his arms.

The delicious rice was brought to the little guy's mouth and he gobbled it up in one gulp.

Cheng'an can now eat some soft rice, and the dishes have a lighter taste and can be eaten even if they are smaller in size.

The kitchen probably received the news and knew that there was a little prince, so they prepared a lot of dishes for him to eat on the table.

"Let the servants feed him." Yinzhi couldn't help but speak when he saw that Yinsi even fed him himself.

Yinsi fed Cheng'an another mouthful of egg custard mixed with some rice, then shook his head and said, "He doesn't like others to feed him."

"If the servants are not allowed to feed him in the palace, who else can? You can't feed him every day." Yinzhi said casually, "You can't let the emperor feed him."

Yinsi looked at him and nodded: "It is indeed the Emperor's father who feeds him on weekdays."

What?

Yinzhi doubted his ears a little: "What did you just say?"

Yinsi repeated it while continuing to feed him.

In fact, for him, feeding the little guy is quite interesting, especially when he sees him eating each bite so seriously. After feeding him, not only does his appetite become better, but he also feels an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

After making sure that he had heard it correctly, Yinzhi couldn't help but look at the little guy in his arms again, wondering what he had done to deserve the emperor's feeding him every day.

Is it just because he is good-looking?

Well, not only is he good-looking, he also seems quite smart and has a likable personality, but that’s not a reason for the Emperor to take care of him so personally, right?

Yinzhi couldn't even help but recall whether Yinreng had received this treatment at the beginning.

However, the two brothers were only two years apart in age, and Yinreng was also very young when he was young, so he really couldn't remember it.

Yinsi didn't have time to care about what he was thinking. He scooped some chopped vegetables and fed them to Cheng'an's mouth.

The little guy is not too picky about food. He eats vegetables, but he prefers meat to vegetables.

He had just eaten a bite of vegetables, and now seeing the greens, he turned his head away and said, "I want some meat."

When Yinzhi heard his voice, he came back to his senses. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a roasted chicken leg and handed it to him.

The temptingly colored roasted chicken leg exuded an alluring aroma. Cheng An reached out to take it and put it to his mouth without thinking.

When Yinsi saw this, he didn't even have time to put down his bowl and quickly took the chicken leg from his hand.

However, no matter how fast he moved, the chicken leg had already been bitten off by the little guy.

"Be good, you can't eat this yet, spit it out quickly." Yinsi coaxed.

The roasted chicken leg was very tasty and delicious. How could Cheng An bear to spit it out? "An An, eat it."

If he refused to spit, Yinsi would not force his mouth open, and it would be even worse if he choked.

Yinsi glanced at the chicken leg and saw that he had only bitten off a little bit, so he could only remind him to chew it up a little before swallowing it.

It was the first time for Cheng'an to eat such delicious meat, and even if he didn't say anything, he couldn't bear to swallow it, so he nodded obediently.

After reminding him, Yinsi couldn't help but turn around and look at the culprit.

"He has grown teeth, so what's wrong with eating some meat?" Yinzhi defended himself.

Yinsi sighed and said, "He is still young."

"Okay, I get it." Seeing that he started to sigh, Yinzhi picked up the bowl and chopsticks to indicate that he would not feed him randomly anymore.

As he was eating, he suddenly realized that looking at the little guy who enjoyed everything he ate, his appetite improved a lot, especially when he was eating the roast chicken that the little guy couldn't eat, he inexplicably felt a sense of superiority.

"Brother Da, eat meat." Cheng An immediately looked up and said after noticing that he was eating roast chicken.

Yinzhi understood what he meant this time. He knew he was asking for meat. After putting the roast chicken on his chopsticks into the bowl, he showed a helpless expression: "Your brother won't let me give you any."

After saying that, he picked up the roast chicken again in a very wicked way and started to bite it slowly in front of Cheng'an.

"Brother, have some meat." Cheng'an, feeling greedy, looked at his starling again.

Yinsi directly put half a spoonful of minced meat into his mouth: "Okay, I'll give you some meat."

He was also patient. He coaxed the little guy no matter what he said, but he didn't feed him too much if he couldn't eat it. After a while, he finally fed him.

In order to prevent him from continuing to be greedy while looking at the dishes on the table, Yinsi put him on the ground after making sure that he was full, and then started to eat himself.

After standing beside him for a while, Cheng'an couldn't help but move closer to Yinzhi and reached out to gently pull his clothes.

Yinzhi hadn't finished eating yet. When he noticed the noise and looked down, he saw a well-behaved little face.

Guessing that he probably wanted to give him meat himself, Yinzhi subconsciously glanced at Yinsi who was picking up some food, but ultimately shook his head.

He was not afraid of Yinsi, but he was worried that if he really fed the person badly, the Emperor would not let him off.

"Go and have fun by yourself." Yinzhi finally said.

Seeing that Da Ge didn't let Rourou eat it himself, Cheng An finally calmed down and lay down on an empty chair, looking up at his two brothers from time to time.

After lunch, Yinsi had to take the little guy back regardless of whether he wanted to leave or not.

"Da brother da brother..." Cheng'an was held in his arms and walked out. He couldn't help but turn around and shout to Yinzhi.

Yinzhi didn't feel anything at first, but when he heard him calling out, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He knew that the emperor would never forgive him, and that he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in this square world.

Thinking that this might be the first and last time the brothers met, Yinzhi felt a little sad.

"Eighth brother, wait a minute." He finally couldn't help but speak. After keeping the person for a while, he turned and went into the house.

After a while, Yinzhi came out with a box and handed it to Cheng'an: "Birthday gift."

The small box contained a jade ring that he loved very much. He had originally intended to use it for hunting next time, but now he probably wouldn't have the chance.

Yinzhi couldn't think of what to give him for the moment, so he could only take out this, thinking that he would definitely need it when he grew up.

Cheng An took the box from his brother and smiled, "Hello, brother."

After Yinzhi memorized this innocent smile in his heart, he took the initiative to reach out and touch his head: "Okay, go back with your brother quickly."

Thinking that they might not meet again after this departure, Yinsi felt a little unhappy.

After saying goodbye to Yinzhi seriously, Yinsi carried him away.

"Brother Da——"

After the door was closed and he called out "Da Ge" for the last time, Yinzhi stood there for a while, then slowly turned around and went back to the house.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, gradually lengthening his shadow. Against the backdrop of his slow back, he looked inexplicably lonely.
