The Dragon Cub is a Qing Palace Group Pet

In the 55th year of Kangxi, the 24th prince was born.

No one knew that inside this little prince's body was actually a dragon cub that had just hatched from its egg.

While still in ...

Chapter 74

After asking, Cheng An saw that his father ignored him, so he ran over, put his hands on his knees and looked up at him: "Father, are there any snacks?"

Yinhu, who had recited the wrong book, was a little depressed and scared. When he heard that his younger brother misunderstood the emperor's meaning, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Kangxi looked at the little guy in front of him who was looking forward to him and wanted to pick him up and spank him.

"You look like a snack to me!" Kangxi was both angry and amused. He stretched out his hand and slapped him on the forehead. He didn't understand why he was so greedy when he had enough food and drink on a normal day.

Cheng An's head tilted back when he was poked by him. When he heard that his father said he looked like a dim sum, he said unhappily, "An An is not a dim sum!"

Kangxi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He pushed him aside and continued to criticize Yinhu, but he did not dare to mention the word "dim sum" again, for fear that the little guy would not hear clearly and get excited again.

After being interrupted by Cheng'an just now, Yinhu was in a good mood even though he was being scolded. He honestly admitted his mistake and said that he would study hard next time.

It was still more than half an hour before the end of the school day. Kangxi was ready to take Cheng'an away after the test. But before he could get up, the little guy suddenly came up to him and said, "Ama, An'an!"

After all, he was raised by himself. When Kangxi looked down and saw his little appearance, he realized that he was saying that he had not tested him yet.

I really want to join in any fun.

Kangxi was secretly complaining, but his eyes showed some unconscious indulgence. He said in a serious tone: "Yin Mi."

It had been a while since he was called by his full name, so the little guy was a little slow to react, and replied in a baby voice, "Your son is here~"

Kangxi guessed that he must have forgotten his name again, so he glanced at him helplessly and said, "Recite a poem for me."

"Yes~"

Cheng'an imitated the process that Yinyi and the others had just followed and responded with a nodding voice, then he began to recite, "A year has passed with the sound of bamboos, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the butcher's book. Thousands of doors and windows are bright in the sun, and peaches are always used to replace the old talismans~"

This poem "New Year's Day" was taught to him by his brothers. There were many brothers and they taught him many times, so the little guy could recite it fairly fluently. Of course, some minor mistakes were inevitable.

When the little guy finished reading the poem, the Chinese teacher beside him couldn't help but praise him: "The little brother is really talented."

Kangxi smiled when he heard this, but he said, "He is greedy and likes fun, but his memory is okay."

"Little prince is still young, it's his nature to love eating and playing, when he grows up he will definitely..."

Master Hanwen said this not entirely to please Kangxi, but because he felt that this little prince was smart and liked him very much.

Kangxi could still distinguish the truth from the lies. It must be said that he was very happy to hear him praising his youngest son like that. He touched the little guy in front of him who was smiling at him after reciting a poem, and decided not to care about his previous "snacks".

"Let's go and don't disturb your brothers from studying." After a trip to the Shangshufang, Kangxi had forgotten his unhappiness before leaving and was ready to take Cheng'an back.

Cheng An didn't agree with what he said, and shook his head, "No, An An Yi needs to study~"

He hasn't seen his brothers much recently. It's rare for him to meet his three brothers here, so the little guy doesn't want to leave so soon.

Kangxi did attach great importance to his sons' studies, but no matter how much he valued it, there was no reason to send a child who was less than three years old to the Shangshufang.

"Don't mess around." Kangxi, who thought he just wanted to stay and play, rebuked him lightly, but his tone was not angry.

"Ama is the best. An An wants to study~"

The rejected little guy habitually pounces on him and shakes his legs to act coquettishly.

It was the first time for the people in the Shangshufang to see someone dare to hug the emperor and act like a spoiled child like that. While they were broadening their horizons, they secretly sighed in their hearts: No wonder everyone in the palace says that the Twenty-Fourth Prince is favored.

Kangxi had never been able to deal with this son, and after being pestered by him for a while, he finally turned around and asked the Chinese teacher for his opinion.

What objection could Master Hanwen have? He naturally smiled and suggested that the young prince could feel the atmosphere of the Shangshufang in advance.

"Then you should study hard here. If you are not serious, don't cry when your teacher hits you on the hand." Kangxi said this to scare him. After all, even if the princes made mistakes in the Shangshufang, it would be the people around them who would be beaten.

Cheng An didn't know that. When he heard that he would spank his hands, he immediately hid his hands behind his back and said, "An An, be obedient!"

Kangxi tapped him on the forehead for the last time and walked out of the Shangshufang with a smile.

After coming out of the study, he did not leave immediately, but went around to the window.

Seeing the little fellow sitting at a desk in an earnest manner, nodding his head and reciting along when the Chinese teacher began to teach, the smile on Kangxi's face gradually deepened.

Not to mention him, even the Chinese teacher in the Shangshufang found the particularly short figure interesting, and even walked up to him to listen to whether he read it correctly.

The little guy is good at reciting poetry, but he is a little worse when reading books full of nonsense. He just babbles when he doesn’t understand something.

Master Hanwen stood beside him for a while and then quickly left, for fear of being led astray by him.

Kangxi watched outside the door for a while, and seeing that he was actually reading obediently, he left the study room with some relief.

Not long after he left, it was time to go home from school. The Chinese teacher left some homework and then left the study.

As soon as the school was over, Yinxi and Yinhu suddenly became lively and came to Cheng'an.

"Brother~" The little guy was very happy to see them and rushed over to hug them.

"Cheng'an, you are so nice. You actually come to accompany us to study." In the heart of Yinhu, who was just seven years old after the Chinese New Year, studying was really too hard, so he was very touched to see that he was willing to come to accompany them.

Cheng An heard his words and said sweetly: "Hello, brother~"

My brothers hugged each other, and the atmosphere in the study room suddenly became warm and lively.

As the oldest prince in the Shangshufang, Yinyi waited until they finished making noise and asked, "Cheng'an, are you going back for lunch or are you eating here?"

"An An wants to eat with her brother~"

After confirming that he would also have lunch here, Yin Yi and the other two placed their lunches on the same table, and the brothers sat around it together.

This was not the first time Cheng'an had a meal in the Shangshufang. He had done it once before when he secretly came over to play, but Yinxi and the others were still very happy.

Several brothers who usually needed to be served during meals now picked up their bowls and chopsticks to feed the little ones who were waiting with their mouths open.

"This meat is delicious, Cheng'an, eat more."

Seeing that Cheng'an liked to eat meat, Yinxi and Yinhu competed to feed him the meat, and the little guy laughed so hard that his eyes were bent.

The older Yin Yi couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Don't just feed him meat, you have to feed him some food as well."

"But Cheng'an said he likes to eat meat." After saying this, Yinhu picked up another piece of meat with chopsticks and fed it into the little guy's mouth.

Cheng An swallowed the delicious meat in his mouth and nodded in agreement: "An An loves to eat meat~"

"You can't just eat meat." After saying this, Yin Yi felt that he couldn't rely on his two younger brothers and could only feed them food with a spoon.

These three usually wait for others to serve them, so they have no experience in feeding. Fortunately, Liu had the foresight to put an hood around the little guy so that his clothes did not get dirty, but the area around his little mouth was covered with oil.

"Be careful." Yin Yi noticed this and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the edge of his body, reminding his other two brothers.

After lunch, Yinyi wiped Cheng'an's face himself with clumsy movements.

After the little guy's face was wiped clean, Yinhu couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The soft and tender touch made him want to take a bite.

Of course, in the end he still didn't dare to bite, but he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.

Cheng An blinked twice, touched his kissed face and smiled, but Yin Yi said with a straight face: "Yin Hu, how could you kiss Cheng An?"

"I kissed Cheng'an because I like him." Yinhu said righteously.

"Where did you learn all this nonsense? If the Emperor knows, you will be in trouble!" After Yin Yi finished scolding, he saw Cheng'an tilting his head and looking at him. He touched his head and said, "The brothers will go to the Sunshot Palace to practice horseback archery. Cheng'an, you go back first."

"An'an wants to go~" Cheng'an said directly pulling his clothes.

After he finished speaking, Yinxi helped out, "The Emperor has agreed to let Cheng'an stay, so it's okay to take him to the Yushe Palace."

Yinyi felt that the kid was too young and it was not appropriate for him to go to the Yueshe Palace, but Yinxi and Yinhu said that he would be fine as there were so many people watching nearby.

Compared with other princes, those princes who have to study in the Shangshufang have fewer opportunities to see Cheng'an.

It was a rare opportunity to spend time with the little guy, and after being persuaded by his two brothers, Yin Yi agreed with some hesitation.

When Cheng'an saw that he finally agreed, he jumped up with joy.

"Come on, come on, brother will carry you over." Yinhu was also very happy, and after saying that, he went to hug him.

The little guy was very cooperative, opening his little arms and hugging his neck.

However, just after the two brothers stepped out of the door of the Shangshufang, Cheng'an kept falling down, and finally his toes almost touched the ground.

"An An is going to fall!" Actually it wasn't that high, but the little guy couldn't help but screaming as he felt like he was about to fall.

Yinhu tried hard to hug him up, but after taking only two steps he felt the person in his arms sliding down.

"An'an is going to fall!"

"Twenty-one brother, please help me." Yinhu, who felt that he could not hold his younger brother, finally could not help but ask for help.

When Yinxi heard this, he saw that his brother's feet were almost touching the ground, so he quickly bent down to hold his feet.

After a while, Cheng'an was no longer being hugged, but was carried by his two brothers. He found it quite interesting and kept giggling.

The little guy was well taken care of by Kangxi, and had a white and tender body. Although he was young, he was quite heavy.

It was fine for Yinxi and Yinhu to carry him at first, but they became tired after walking a distance.

Yinyi was watching the show at the side, and when he saw that they were almost out of strength, he hurried over to take over in order to avoid Chengan falling.

After the Chinese New Year, Yinyi, who was already twelve years old, was much stronger than his two younger brothers Yinxi, and he walked very steadily while holding Cheng'an.

Yinhu looked at him with some envy, and said to his brother who was lying on his shoulder and smiling at him, "Cheng'an, wait, I will be able to hold you when I grow up!"

"Okay~" the little guy nodded to give face.

When they arrived at the Sunshot Palace, the martial arts masters who taught horse riding and archery felt a headache when they saw that they had brought such a little ancestor.

In front of the Yushe Hall was a large open area with an archery target on it and the princes' horses not far away.

"Wow--"

Cheng'an, who came here for the first time, found it very interesting. After getting down from Yinyi's arms, he couldn't help but run around.

"Cheng'an, don't run around." Yin Yi said quickly.

Hearing his voice, the little guy immediately turned around and ran back, pointing at the horse not far away and said, "Brother, look at the horse~"

"I can ride a horse!" Yinhu saw him pointing at the horse and immediately came up to him and said.

Upon hearing this, the little supportive king immediately said, "Brother is so awesome~"

Yinhu, who originally thought that riding a horse was very tiring, suddenly laughed, patted his chest and said that he wanted to ride a horse for him to see.

Yinhu had only learned horse riding and archery for a year, but he could already sit steadily on a horse and trot twice.

The little guy clapped his hands and turned to Yin Yi and said, "Brother An An wants to have sex~"

Yin Yi didn't dare to let him ride a horse, so he could only coax him: "Doesn't Cheng'an have a small wooden horse? You can ride that first, and when you grow up, I will teach you to ride a big horse."

"An'an has grown up~" Cheng'an said while looking up at his little face.

He was not talking nonsense just to be able to ride a horse, but he remembered what Yin'e had said before, that one should study when he grows up.

In the little guy's view, studying with his brothers before meant that he had grown up.

Seeing that he was so young but still said that he was grown up, Yin Yi chuckled and said, "Brother is going to start practicing horse riding and archery. You just stay by the side and watch. If you get bored, let Liu Cai take you back."

After saying that, he picked up his bow and arrow and walked to the target.

Cheng'an was a little disappointed that he couldn't ride a horse, but he didn't want to leave. He followed Yinyi like a little tail and watched him shoot arrows.

"Brother is so annoying!"

The little guy couldn't tell the difference between hitting the bull's eye and hitting the target, but he would excitedly applaud Yin Yi when he saw him hit the target.

With such a little supporter around, the originally boring archery practice became interesting, and Yin Yi didn’t even feel tired after shooting a whole barrel of arrows.

After riding a few laps, Yinhu noticed that his brother's attention was attracted by him, so he immediately stopped his horse and practiced archery.

"Cheng'an, look at me!" Yinhu had only been learning for a year, and in his eagerness to show off, he almost shot the arrow off the target.

Cheng An didn't understand this, so he turned around and clapped his hands, praising him: "Brother, you are so awesome!"

When he saw the arrow barely hitting the edge of the target, even though he knew his brother didn't understand what this meant, Yinhu's face still blushed and he then straightened his attitude and became serious.

Although he couldn't ride a horse or pull his brothers' bows and arrows, Cheng'an still had a lot of fun here. He stayed with them until school was over, and then reluctantly followed Liu Cai back to the Qianqing Palace.

Two days later, Yin'e and his friends, who had a little more free time, came to visit him.

Yin'e entered the palace with Yinzhen this time. Coincidentally, when they arrived, Yinreng was already in the Qianqing Palace, and after they arrived, Yinzhen and Yinxiang also came.

Cheng'an was immediately excited when he saw so many brothers coming over, and he brought a jar of candied fruit to treat them.

This jar of candied fruit was given from his mother. Since it was a bit sour, he would not eat much, so Kangxi was too lazy to confiscate it.

Yin'e pinched a candied fruit and put it into his mouth, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yinzhen, pay more attention to your studies on weekdays."

"Snacks? What snacks?" Yinzhen cooperated and laughed as soon as he finished speaking.

Yinzhen and Yinxiang didn't understand what they meant, but Yinreng reacted immediately and realized that they must have heard about what happened in the Shangshufang before, and a smile appeared on his face.

There was little entertainment in the palace, so some interesting but harmless anecdotes would spread quickly, and Cheng'an's incident about "dim sum" in the Shangshufang that day was no exception.

Yin'e knew this because he heard it from Yinzhen, and Yinzhen heard Defei mention it casually when he paid his respects to his mother.

Seeing that Yinzhen and the others didn't know, Yinreng explained softly. After listening to him, Yinzhen said it was okay. Yinxiang also laughed, thinking that the little guy was really funny.

He could almost imagine the helpless expression on the emperor's face when the little guy suddenly blurted out "What snacks?"

"Tenth brother, please be more careful." After laughing, Yinzhen started to speak on his own.

Yin'e immediately asked back: "Snacks? What snacks?"

Yinzhen had been able to hold back his laughter at first, but when he heard them doing it again, the more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and he finally chuckled out loud.

Cheng An thought these words sounded familiar, but he didn't understand why his brothers were laughing like that. He blinked twice and told them in a baby voice, "You didn't pay enough attention to your studies!"

The little guy thought he would get lots of snacks while studying, but he only got three snacks while studying with his brothers that day.

"You little greedy cat, you only think about snacks." Seeing that his focus was still on snacks, Yinzhen laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

"Brother Fourteen is a greedy little meow~"

Cheng'an was not going to listen to anyone's advice now and he immediately retorted.

"Really?" Yinzhen took out a candy from his purse and said, "Since I'm the greedy cat, I'll eat this candy myself."

The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw Tang, and he immediately changed his words and said, "An An is a little greedy cat!"

Yinzhen was amused by him and stuffed the candy directly into his mouth.

"Sweet~" The little guy holding the candy suddenly smiled sweeter than the candy.

They hadn't been able to come and see him for some days, so looking at his innocent smiling face, the hearts of the princes present softened a little.

Yin'e reached out and pulled him into his arms, touching his little face and pinching his little hands, his love for him evident in words.

After he finished eating the candy, Yinzhen reached out and took him in, hugged him and asked, "I heard that you went to the Shangshufang to study a few days ago. How did you feel?"

"It's fun~" Cheng An said, and probably because he still wanted to eat candy, he reached out and pinched the purse on his waist.

When Yinzhen saw this, he opened his purse and said to him, "Brother Fourteen only has one candy, and he couldn't bear to eat it himself, so he left it for you. Is that good enough for you?"

"Fourteenth brother is the best!" When the little girl heard his words, she reached out and hugged him tightly.

Seeing that he, a noble prince, had said to himself that he couldn't even afford a piece of candy, Yin'e couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Yinzhen, do you have any shame?"

While the two of them were quarreling, Yinxiang carried Cheng'an between him and Yinzhen.

"Fourth brother and thirteenth brother, do you want to eat?" The little guy thought that his two brothers had not eaten yet, so he brought over the small jar of candied fruit.

Yinzhen had no interest in candied fruit, but he still tasted it to give him face.

"It's sour." Yinxiang was afraid of sourness, so he took a deep breath as soon as he put the candied fruit into his mouth.

Cheng An saw that he was frowning because of jealousy, and he opened his mouth and smiled.

Seeing that he was smiling so happily, Yinxiang pinched a candied fruit from the jar and stuffed it into his mouth.

The little guy had just finished eating candy, and when he ate the candied fruit, it was so sour that his whole face wrinkled up: "It's so sour!"

The brothers were amused by his little expression and thought he was interesting. He was afraid that the fruit would go sour but still insisted on taking a jar of candied fruit.

In less than an hour, the princes left the Qianqing Palace with lingering smiles on their faces.

"Cheng'an's birthday is in a few months. Have you prepared a birthday gift for him?" Yin'e suddenly asked after walking out of the Qianqing Palace.

Yinreng was supposed to go back to Xian'an Palace directly, but after hearing this topic, he continued to follow them.

"The little guy loves to eat, and I want to prepare a lot of delicious food and drinks for him, but I'm afraid that the emperor will punish me." Yinzhen said.

Yinxiang smiled and said, "Cheng'an is still young after all, so forget about eating."

"Fourth brother, do you have any good ideas?" Yin'e turned around and asked.

Yinzhen only spoke up when he saw him asking, "I'm going to make him some new clothes."

The little guy was growing fast, and the clothes he wore last year were too small. Yinzhen thought it would be enough to make him a few new clothes and match them with some of his favorite small jade pendants, small rings, etc.

"He will definitely like the clothes you gave him." Yin'e thought that he was the first one to think of the dragon tail coat, and his tone was a little sour.

After listening to Yinzhen's words, Yinreng thought that although there might be things in his private storehouse that Cheng'an would like, he always felt that it was lacking in terms of thoughtfulness.

"What are you going to give Cheng'an, Tenth Brother?" Yinreng asked.

Yin'e: "I haven't thought about it yet. If nothing works, I'll see if I can make him another toy. I think he likes the wooden horse I gave him before."

There were still a few months to Cheng'an's birthday. The princes chatted for a while and then went back to their homes, but it was obvious that they all took the matter to heart.

The beauty of April on earth has faded, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom.

As the weather warmed up, the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden gradually withered. Cheng'an, who liked these flowers very much, couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, when the peach blossoms in the imperial garden were in full bloom, the little fellow, who could not yet distinguish the two types of flowers, became happy again. Not only did he drag Kangxi to appreciate the flowers, but he also ran to find Yinreng to appreciate the flowers the next day.

Yinreng naturally would not refuse him and directly carried him to the Imperial Garden.

"Isn't Huahua pretty~?"

Walking in the peach blossom forest was already a pleasant experience, and listening to his childish voice, Yinreng's lips curled up unconsciously: "It looks good."

The little guy, who is about to turn two years old, speaks more and more clearly, and his little mouth never stops along the way.

Yinreng did not find him annoying and patiently answered all his questions. When he expressed his hope that other brothers would come to see Huahua, he even touched his head and said, "Second brother, send someone to ask them if they are free for you."

"Second brother, you are so nice~" Cheng An said, then put his arms around his neck and kissed him on the face.

Yinreng originally thought that he was going to rub against him, but he didn't expect him to kiss him directly. After a moment of shock, he couldn't help but ask, "Who did you learn this from?"

"Twenty-second brother~" His tone was very calm, and Cheng'an also said casually.

This Yinhu...

Yinreng naturally didn't dislike Cheng'an's closeness. On the contrary, his heart softened instantly when he was kissed, and he wondered how could there be such a lovely little guy in the world.

However, this was not in accordance with etiquette, so Yinreng still lowered his head and taught him.
