Hearing his request, Kangxi was stunned for a moment before he said, "Doesn't Cheng'an want to eat candy and snacks? Why don't you let your father give you candy and snacks?"

Kangxi didn't want to go back on his word, but when he saw that the little guy in his arms' first reaction was to think about the two rebellious sons, he felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to try to shake him up.

When hearing about candy and snacks, a certain greedy cat swallowed his saliva directly, but when thinking of Da Ge and Er Ge, he still shook his head firmly: "An An doesn't want to eat, yeah, it's none of Da Ge and Er Ge's business~"

Seeing that he clearly wanted to eat sweets and snacks but was still unshakable, Kangxi touched his head and remained silent for a while.

It would have been unreasonable to release Yinzhi and Yinreng since they had been imprisoned. Even though Kangxi had recalled the good things the prince had done in the past few years as time passed, he had never thought of releasing him.

However, at this moment, Kangxi looked into his youngest son's expectant eyes, and seemed to see his innocent heart through his clear eyes.

That's all...

Whether from the perspective of being a monarch or a father, Kangxi did not want to break his promise to his youngest son, especially when he thought that he had just woken up from a coma to bring rain for him.

"I promise you." As Kangxi finished speaking, he felt inexplicably relieved.

Cheng An was so happy to hear his promise that he stood up from his lap and put his arms around his neck, shaking him: "Hello, Ama~"

"How can I compare to you?" Kangxi felt a little jealous when he thought that he had used such an important promise on others, and thought that he favored his brothers.

"Hello, Father~" The little guy couldn't understand the hidden meaning of his words and continued to hug him.

Kangxi was almost shaken by him, and thinking that he got this promise because it brought rain for him first, he felt that in his heart, he, the emperor, should be the most important.

Thinking of this, Kangxi smiled, stopped him from swaying him and said, "Okay, follow me to write the imperial edict."

"What are you saying, Holy Son?" Cheng An looked up at him in confusion.

Kangxi said as he picked the man up: "Something that can help your elder and second brothers come out."

Since he had already promised him, Kangxi didn't want to delay.

Upon hearing this, Cheng An immediately became obedient and said in a baby voice, "I want the Holy Son~"

Kangxi tapped him on the forehead and took him to write the imperial edict.

Kangxi did not make a big announcement about the decision to release Yinzhi and Yinreng. He only sent someone to deliver two imperial edicts in a low-key manner.

Xian'an Palace.

Yinreng sat in the courtyard, his eyes unconsciously sweeping towards the gate.

He knew that Cheng'an had already been taken to Changchun Garden by Kangxi. The little guy came once before leaving and tried to take him with him.

Yinreng gave a bitter smile at the time, and then spent a lot of effort to coax the little guy to give up the idea and go back by himself.

He knew that Cheng'an would not be back in the short term, but he had gotten used to sitting at the stone table under the tree and waiting when he had nothing to do. Therefore, he still subconsciously came out during the days when the little guy was not in the palace.

"It's hot, Ama, you should go sit inside."

In this season, even sitting under the shade of a tree cannot keep out the heat. Hongxi came out and spoke when he saw his father.

Yinreng shook his head nonchalantly: "When you calm down, you will feel cooler."

Hongxi actually guessed who he was waiting for, but Huang Mafa would not come back for several months every year when he went to Changchun Garden, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Hongxi did not have any negative emotions about the fact that his father loved the young uncle so much. After all, he liked him very much too, and was even grateful that he was willing to come and visit his father often.

Seeing that his father refused to go into the house, Hongxi decided to sit with him for a while.

He had just sat down when there was a sudden noise at the door. Yinreng next to him stood up and turned around immediately.

However, the moment the door opened, Yinreng was a little disappointed, because the person who came was not the person he wanted to see, but Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong knew better than anyone that even though this gentleman was no longer the crown prince, he still held a considerable position in the emperor's heart. Therefore, after entering the room, he performed the ceremony with a respectful attitude before taking out the imperial edict.

When Yinreng saw him, he guessed that it must be related to his father, but when he saw him take out the imperial edict, he still felt a little strange.

He didn't think there was anything worthy of an imperial decree at this moment, unless... the emperor now even found his presence in the palace an eyesore.

It’s no wonder that Yinreng was pessimistic. In fact, he never thought that he would end up like this. However, he ended up being imprisoned in Xian'an Palace for several years.

But at this point, no matter what the outcome, Yinreng feels that he can face it calmly.

Soon, the Crown Princess and others who heard the noise came out to receive the order.

"By the providence of Heaven..."

Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, the eyes of the Crown Princess and other family members of the deposed Crown Prince gradually lit up.

Liang Jiugong opened the imperial edict and read it meticulously, then handed it to Yinreng who was somewhat incredulous, and congratulated him: "Congratulations, Second Prince."

"How could the Emperor..." Yinreng held the imperial edict in his hand, his voice slightly hoarse.

He had already seen his own end. The best outcome would be to be imprisoned in the Xian'an Palace until he grew old. After his death, his descendants might be able to regain their freedom.

He thought that his last trip to the Palace of Heavenly Purity would be his last moment of freedom, but he didn’t expect that… But how could this be possible?

Yinreng held the imperial edict tightly in his hand, still feeling a sense of unreality in his heart.

Not to mention him, even Liang Jiugong was very surprised when he first received the imperial edict, and felt that the young prince was really capable.

Cheng'an was raised in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and Liang Jiugong watched him grow up. He also loved this little prince very much.

Hearing Yinreng's words, he naturally didn't mind doing a good job for the little prince, so he whispered: "I don't know the specific details, but it should be because of the little prince Cheng'an..."

Yinreng was surprised yet not surprised when he heard this.

He was surprised that Yu Cheng'an could actually convince the emperor to release him, but he was not surprised because he felt that no one except Yu Cheng'an would care about him now, let alone try to rescue him.

When Yinreng thought of the little guy who called him "Second Brother" in a baby voice, his heart softened and he just wished he was by his side so he could hug him.

"How is Cheng'an these days?" Yinreng's voice became even more hoarse.

After saying this, Yinreng thought about how the Emperor loved him and how Yinzhen and the others liked him, and felt that he should have a lot of fun in Changchun Garden.

When Liang Jiugong heard this question, he looked a little hesitant.

Seeing that he didn't answer such a simple question for a long time, Yinreng's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he asked anxiously, "What happened to him?"

"Don't worry, Second Prince. The young prince is fine now." Liang Jiugong said quickly.

If nothing happened now, it meant something happened before. Yinreng frowned immediately: "What happened to him?"

Seeing that he was asking more questions, Liang Jiugong could only tell him that the young prince had been in a coma for the previous seven days.

Hearing his words, even though he knew Cheng'an had woken up, Yinreng still felt a sharp pain in his heart. At the same time, he hated himself for not knowing about this at all, let alone being with him.

Liang Jiugong noticed his ugly expression and said, "If Second Prince is willing, you can pack up and go to Changchun Garden to visit Young Prince."

Of course, he did not say this on his own initiative, but was instructed by Kangxi before.

After Cheng'an woke up from a coma for a few days, Kangxi loved and doted on him even more than usual. Seeing that Cheng'an was so concerned about his two brothers, he thought that since the people had already been released, he might as well call them over to make him happy again.

Upon hearing this, Yinreng went straight to Changchun Garden without even packing his things.

Liang Jiugong still had to go to Yinzhi's mansion to convey the imperial edict, so he parted ways with him after leaving the palace.

At this time, Yinreng's mind was completely on his younger brother Cheng'an, and he didn't notice that he left halfway.

The eldest prince’s mansion.

When Yinzhi received the imperial edict, he was even more shocked than Yinreng.

Ever since he was locked up, he dared not even dream of being released because he felt it was impossible.

After learning that he was able to be unsealed thanks to his younger brother Cheng'an, Yinzhi couldn't tell what he felt in his heart for a moment. All kinds of positive emotions directed towards him were about to overflow.

However, after learning the news that Cheng'an had been in a coma, the joy on Yinzhi's face was immediately replaced by worry, and he immediately wanted to go to Changchun Garden.

Qingxi Book House.

"Where's Amadeo? Where's the second brother?"

Ever since Kangxi handed the written imperial edict to Liang Jiugong, Cheng'an would ask him about it every once in a while.

"I'll be there soon." Perhaps because he had just woken up, Kangxi was being extra patient at this moment.

“Ama…”

However, no matter how patient Kangxi was, he could not stand his repeated questions. When he opened his mouth again, Kangxi picked him up and said, "My Royal Highness, go and teach you calligraphy."

Hearing about calligraphy practice, Cheng An, whose attention was diverted, immediately said: "An An can babbling~"

The last time he ran to the Shangshufang, the six-year-old Yinhu taught him how to write step by step, and praised him for his good handwriting after teaching. This gave Cheng'an blind confidence in himself.

Seeing that he could write, Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then write one for me to see."

As they were talking, the father and son had already come to the desk. Kangxi put him on a chair, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink and put it into his hand.

This brush was one of the four treasures of the study that Yinzhen gave him when he was born. It looked small and delicate, just right for his little hands.

"The posture is wrong." Although he knew he was still young, Kangxi couldn't help but teach him after seeing the way he held the pen.

Cheng'an took a long time to learn how to hold the pen in the correct posture, looked up at him, and started writing only after he nodded in affirmation.

Seeing that as soon as he started to work, the correct posture changed to holding the pen with his fist, Kangxi raised his hand and tapped his forehead lightly, then decided to wait until he was older before teaching him slowly.

Cheng'an didn't notice his father's silence at the moment. He held the pen and wrote quickly on the paper. Ignoring his pen-holding posture, just looking at the smoothness of the brush movements, he wrote with quite a bit of momentum.

However, when my eyes fell from the brush to the paper, it was really... a terrible scribble.

Even though he knew this would be the result, Kangxi still didn't know what to say. After a long pause, he asked, "What did you write?"

Cheng An was asked by him, and he tilted his head and blinked at him.

Great, that's great! This is the first time I heard that there are people who write without knowing what they are writing!

Kangxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand and touched his forehead affectionately and said, "How dare you say you can write?"

"An An will!" Even though he didn't know what he was writing, the little guy still held his chest high and looked confident.

Kangxi didn't know who gave him the confidence, and said with a smile: "Then tell me what you wrote first."

When Cheng An heard his words, his little brain turned around and he said in a baby voice: "Two orioles are chirping~"

"Not bad, now you can pronounce five words correctly." Kangxi praised him with a smile and then started to argue with him. He pointed at the "words" on the paper and said, "Two, yellow, oriole, singing, green, willow, huh? Why are there two more words here?"

"Aiya~" the little guy said after blinking twice.

Kangxi was amused by his cleverness and immediately joked: "Not bad, you even know to sign your name."

Jokes aside, Kangxi then changed a piece of paper and wrote the poem and his name again for him to see.

Although Cheng'an couldn't tell the difference between good and bad handwriting, he clapped his hands as soon as Kangxi finished writing.

When Kangxi heard his applause, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He put down his pen and pointed at the words on the paper to teach him how to recognize them.

It would be fine if he could teach him other characters, but Kangxi first taught him his own name.

“This is Cheng An.”

"Ahem~"

"This is Yinmi."

"Eh~"

Just as Kangxi was teaching him his name, Liang Jiugong came in from outside and said softly, "Your Majesty, the two princes are here."

Needless to say, the two princes he was referring to were naturally Yinzhi and Yinreng.

Upon hearing this, Kangxi paused slightly with his finger on the paper.

"Let them in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yinzhi and Yinreng, who were in an awkward atmosphere outside the door, came in together.

When Cheng An saw his two brothers, his eyes lit up and he immediately shouted excitedly: "Da Ge! Er Ge!"

Yinzhi and Yinreng did not have time to respond to him for the time being, so they bowed to Kangxi first.

Yinreng was better. After all, he had met Kangxi several times after being imprisoned, and he was able to remain calm and perform the greetings according to the procedures.

Yinzhi was much more emotional. After all, he once thought that he might never see his royal father again in this life.

"The unfilial son Yinzhi pays respects to the Emperor."

Yinzhi kowtowed heavily.

When he was first locked up, he was depressed and a little resentful. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. Why did Yinreng become the crown prince when he was born? Why did he, as his elder brother, have to pay respect to him?

But as time passed, his mind gradually became clear, and he realized that the reason why the emperor could not tolerate him was not because he wanted to compete for the position of crown prince, but because he asked for the crown prince to be killed.

Who is the prince? He is the biological son of the emperor, and also his...brother.

After thinking it through, Yinzhi couldn't understand why he was so obsessed with having such thoughts in the first place. He thought that he was helping the emperor and pleasing his father.

Seeing his eldest son again after many years, Kangxi felt somewhat complicated.

This was his eldest son. Although he was not as favored as the crown prince at the beginning, he still had high hopes for him. He did not expect that he would do such a thing in the end.

Before meeting him, whenever Kangxi thought of him, what came to his mind was his words and actions when he asked him to kill the prince.

But seeing him in person now, and realizing that both his face and figure revealed a somewhat dejected look, Kangxi sighed in his heart, thinking that if he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

After expressing his gratitude, Yinreng stood up directly, but Yinzhi just straightened up and still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

The crying child gets candy, and similarly, the crying brother gets a younger brother.

Cheng'an had been looking at his two brothers. He immediately noticed that Da Ge seemed to be crying, so he quickly climbed down from the chair and came to him.

"Brother Da~" The little guy's voice was a little soft, and he looked a little helpless.

Yinzhi's eyes were red at first but he didn't really cry. But after hearing his soft voice, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

He has had a somewhat overbearing personality since he was young, and that is why he particularly minds the fact that his younger brother Yinreng is superior to him.

Because of this, his relationship with other brothers was very ordinary. The only one he was closer to was Yinsi, and that was because the other party was raised by his own mother.

But in fact, the brotherhood between him and Yinsi was not that strong.

It's funny to say that he has more than 20 brothers, but he only felt what brotherhood is from his youngest brother when he lived to this age.

Perhaps it was because he had too much free time while locked up in the mansion that he had time to experience the so-called brotherhood that he had previously disdained, and he discovered that this kind of emotion was so pure and so pleasant.

It was the first time for Cheng An to see someone cry, and that person was his brother. He immediately panicked and quickly stretched out his little hand to wipe his tears, while imitating the tone that his father and other brothers used to coax him, saying: "Be good, brother, don't cry..."

Having already lost all face in front of him, Yinzhi no longer concealed it and directly hugged the little guy in front of him into his arms, hugged him tightly and cried loudly. His cry was filled with regret and the depression of these years.

The moment Yinreng heard his crying, he was so startled that he subconsciously took a step back. After he stood firm again, his expression was somewhat subtle.

He didn't expect that the guy who once confronted him was so weak now. He thought that he was either afraid of being locked up or was using a torture method.

However, when he saw Cheng'an, who was in his arms, still patting his back to comfort him, Yinreng suddenly felt a little unhappy.

He didn't want to talk, but at this moment he couldn't help but say, "Why are you crying? Don't scare Cheng An."

After saying this, Yinreng reached out to take Cheng'an out, but Yinzhi was holding him too tightly and he couldn't pull him out.

The two had been at odds for so many years, and Yinzhi's first reaction when he heard his voice was to fight back, but thinking about how asking to kill him before was a bit... In the end, he just pretended not to hear it and continued to hold the soft little guy in his arms.

Seeing this scene, Kangxi couldn't bear it any longer. After all, his youngest son had just woken up. It would be bad if he was really scared by him as Yinreng said.

"It's not proper for a prince to cry so much!"

After Kangxi scolded him, Yinzhi stopped crying immediately.

"Brother Da, be good and don't whine~" Cheng An took the opportunity to continue patting his shoulders and coaxing him.

He felt that this younger brother was the best. Not only did he save him, but he also cared about others. After venting his emotions, Yinzhi felt soft in his heart.

"Thank you, Cheng'an." Yinzhi said hoarsely in his ear.

After hearing this, the little guy stepped out of his arms a little, and then continued to wipe his face with his little hands: "Brother, listen, don't make a sound, An An Yi, eat some candy~"

Kangxi himself had never been coaxed by his youngest son like this. Seeing him coaxing his eldest son like this, he couldn't help but say, "You don't even have any candy yourself, so where do you get candy for him to eat?"

“An An, An An…” The little guy couldn’t figure out where he got the candy from, and his cheeks puffed up slightly, as if he was angry with himself.

Seeing this, Yinzhi quickly said, "It's okay, big brother has candy, big brother's candy is for An'an to eat."

Cheng An's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that, and he threw himself into his arms and said, "Hello, brother Da~"

Yinreng found this extremely annoying and thought that Yinzhi was just as annoying as ever.

"Why don't you get up yet?" Kangxi probably felt it was a bit annoying and spoke up.

This time, Yinzhi did not continue kneeling. He let go of the person in his arms and slowly stood up.

Taking this opportunity, Yinreng immediately bent down and held the little guy on the ground in his arms.

"Second brother, An An misses something~"

After Cheng An fell into his arms, he immediately reached out to hug him, and rubbed his little head against his shoulder.

Yinreng was a little unhappy that he was so close to Yinzhi just now, but when he was rubbed by him intimately, the corners of his lips immediately curved up again.

"Second brother misses you too." Yinreng dug his head out of his body and carefully observed his little face. Seeing that he looked okay, he finally felt relieved. However, when he touched his face, his tone unconsciously revealed a bit of heartache, "You've lost weight."

Cheng'an felt itchy when he touched him and immediately smiled at him.

Yinzhi, who had just finished crying, was still immersed in his own emotions. After seeing this scene, he suddenly felt angry and thought that Yinreng was trying to snatch his younger brother from him.

"Come here Cheng'an, let big brother hold you." Yinzhi quickly stretched out his hand.

How could Yinreng give the person to him? He simply avoided the hand he extended.

hateful!

Seeing that he refused to give it to him, Yinzhi reached out to snatch it.

At the top, Kangxi saw that he had just expressed his true feelings and thought that he should have realized his mistake, and his dislike for him faded a little. But now seeing that he and Yinreng were quarreling again, he suddenly felt that he should not have let them out.

"Cheng'an, come to me."

After he spoke, Yinzhi didn't dare to snatch anymore.

Yinreng hugged the little guy in his arms tightly for the last time, and then put him back to the ground.

Cheng An looked up at his two brothers, hesitated for a moment, and then ran to Kangxi: "Father?"

The little guy's tone was full of confusion, as if asking why he was called over.

"You haven't even learned all the words yet, why are you running around?" Kangxi said to him, then picked him up and put him back on the chair.

The little guy who just wanted to play with his two brothers and didn't want to learn to read anymore shook his head and said, "I want a brother~"

"They have something else to do." Kangxi said, without even looking up, to his two sons, "Why don't you leave?"

"I'll take my leave."

Kangxi had already spoken, so they had to leave even if they didn't want to.

After leaving the house, the two people who were disgusted with each other wished they could stay eight hundred miles away from each other.

"Cheng'an is my brother, you'd better stay away from him." In the end, Yinzhi couldn't help but warn.

Yinreng didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and followed the people arranged by Liang Jiugong to where he lived.
