At the palace gate.

Yinzhi had some free time today and was going to come visit Cheng'an. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Yinzhi, Yinzhen and their group.

"Brother."

At the same time, Yinzhi and others also saw Yinzhi and took the initiative to greet him.

"Are you here to see Cheng'an too?" Yinzhi thought to himself what a coincidence, they wouldn't have come at all but ended up running into each other.

Yin'e nodded and said, "It's because Cheng'an missed me, so my second brother sent someone to ask for him, so I must come."

Since being assigned to the Six Ministries by Kangxi and having the long-term task of reorganizing the Eight Banners, the princes have been very busy. However, when they heard from the people sent by Yinreng that Cheng'an missed them, they had to make time to come.

Yinzhi frowned upon hearing this, and after confirming that the others were called by Yinreng, he said unhappily, "How could you be so unlucky as to not call me!"

Given your relationship, it's normal for the second brother not to call you.

After hearing this, many princes couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts.

"So what if I don't call you? I will come here anyway." Yinzhi didn't need anyone to respond. He quickly said something to himself and then quickened his pace.

"Brother, Cheng'an is in the Imperial Garden now." Yinsi kindly reminded him when he saw him walking directly towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

A moment later, Yinzhi and his party arrived at the Imperial Garden and saw two figures, one big and one small, standing in front of the peach blossom forest from afar.

When Yinreng was the crown prince, most of his clothes were apricot yellow, but now he prefers to wear plain robes, the kind where even the embroidery looks very light.

Cheng'an is still young, and he likes bright colors like gold. Today he is wearing a red dress embroidered with gold patterns, and he looks like a little fairy boy.

"Cheng'an!" Yin'e couldn't help but shout when he saw his figure.

The little guy turned around when he heard the voice and saw his brothers coming over. He jumped up and down excitedly: "Brothers, come here~"

Yinzhi was walking in front, and when he came over, he snorted coldly at Yinreng.

Yinreng didn't expect that he would come even though he didn't send anyone to look for him, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Compared to Yinzhi, Yinzhen's full attention was on Cheng'an. When he was not close to him just now, he heard him say something like "Don't touch without permission", so he couldn't help but pick him up and asked, "What do you mean by don't touch without permission?"

This is what Yinreng was teaching him just now, that he should not kiss others casually. The little fellow thought the phrase "Don't touch without permission" sounded familiar, so he started to repeat it along.

Hearing Yinzhen's question, Cheng'an went over and quickly kissed him on the face, then told him in a baby voice: "My second brother said you can't do this, don't touch me without permission~"

A kiss with a milky scent fell on his face. Yinzhen didn't react at first, but when he reacted, his ears felt slightly hot.

It’s not that he is thin-skinned, but he didn’t expect the little guy to suddenly do this. Plus, his brothers were watching them, so he felt a little embarrassed.

When Yinreng saw this scene, he felt that what he had just said was in vain, and he wanted to stroke his forehead and sigh.

Pian Yin'e even shouted enviously: "I want one too, Cheng'an, come here and kiss Brother Ten!"

"Tenth brother, don't make trouble." Yinzhen scolded him lightly when he heard his words.

Yin'e immediately showed an unhappy expression: "How can this be called nonsense? Besides, Cheng'an just kissed you!"

Yinzhen didn't say anything else, but glanced over with a slightly cold look.

"What? Only..." Yin'e was still a little afraid of his cold face. He didn't dare to insist anymore, but muttered softly.

"Second brother is right, don't touch without permission, and don't kiss randomly next time."

Although the feeling of being so close to the little guy was not bad, but instead gave him an indescribable pleasure, Yinzhen finally touched Cheng'an's head and said.

"I know~" the little guy said, smiling and lying on his shoulder calling the other brothers: "Da Ge, San Ge, Wu Ge..."

Seeing that he was not tired at all and insisted on calling everyone over, the brothers who were called all agreed with a smile.

After calling out to his brothers, Cheng An pointed to the peach blossoms next to him and said, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from Gu Han~"

The weather is good today. The warm but not scorching sunshine shines on the peach trees, making the blooming peach blossoms look particularly beautiful.

"Little fool, this is peach blossom, not plum blossom." Yinzhen laughed when he saw him pointing at peach and calling it plum.

"You are stupid. How old is Cheng'an? Besides, peach blossoms and plum blossoms look alike." Yin'e said defensively.

While the two of them were arguing, Yinzhen, Yinreng and Yinsi were already explaining to Cheng'an the difference between the two flowers.

"Cheng'an, smell it. Isn't the fragrance different from that of plum blossoms?" Yinsi directly pulled a blooming peach blossom and placed it in front of him.

The little girl lowered her head and sniffed the peach blossoms. Her long eyelashes were like fluttering butterfly wings, and her fair little face looked even more tender than the petals.

When Yinzhi saw this scene, he was inspired to paint, so he immediately ordered people to prepare.

"It smells so good~" Cheng An looked up and said after smelling it.

Yinsi guided, "Isn't the scent different from that of plum blossoms?"

If they were put together, Cheng'an could still compare them, but when asked this time, he tilted his head and couldn't tell.

Seeing this, Yinreng pointed at the petals and said, "Look at the petals of the peach blossom..."

A group of princes surrounded him and talked for a long time. Later, when the servants brought over the drawing table, brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, Yinzhi personally drew a comparison between peach blossoms and plum blossoms, finally making the little guy understand that the piece in front of him was peach blossoms, not plum blossoms.

"Come, Brother Ten will teach you a poem about peach blossoms." Yin'e said as he prepared to write it, but he couldn't finish it for a long time. He couldn't help patting his head and said, "Oh, I clearly remembered it just now..."

Yinzhen glanced at him and saw that the little guy in his arms was still looking up waiting, so he simply taught him: "White egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and fat mandarin fish swim in the flowing water under the peach blossoms."

When Cheng An heard the word "Mandarin fish", he did not imitate immediately, but asked: "Fourth brother, is Mandarin fish delicious?"

Hearing this, the other elder brothers all laughed, thinking that he was really...

Yinzhen looked somewhat helpless, but seeing him looking at him eagerly, he still said, "You have eaten squirrel mandarin fish before."

"An An, have you eaten it before?" When the little guy heard that he had eaten this mandarin fish before, his already big eyes instantly widened.

Yinreng was touched by his cute appearance and touched his face and said, "I'll have someone make you a mandarin fish for lunch."

"Okay!" Cheng'an really likes eating fish, and he immediately clapped his hands happily.

After he was happy, Yinzhen continued to teach.

"White egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and plump mandarin fish swim in the flowing water under the peach blossoms..."

"A green bamboo hat, a green raincoat, no need to go home in the slanting wind and drizzle~"

Walking among the peach blossom groves and listening to the little ones reciting poems in their baby voices, the brothers felt very comfortable, and even had a sense of leisure as if they had stolen a half day's unwinding from their busy lives.

While a group of princes were surrounding Cheng'an to leisurely appreciate the flowers, Yinzhi was still painting behind the drawing table. He had originally planned to paint only a picture of "children smelling flowers", but when he finished painting, he saw that the atmosphere between the group of brothers in front was so good that he couldn't help but change another piece of paper and continue painting.

There is only one little guy, and even though he likes all his brothers equally, he cannot take care of all of them, so the brothers will chat with each other from time to time.

Yinzhi was not a meticulous person. It was only when he heard Yin'e, Yin'e and others chatting that he realized that Cheng'an's birthday was next month.

He was still imprisoned during Cheng'an's one-year-old birthday ceremony last year, so for Yinzhi, this birthday was the first one he spent with the little guy.

Seeing that he had not thought of this before, Yinzhi could not help but slap his forehead, and then he started thinking about what birthday gift to prepare for the little guy.

These princes have always been the only ones who can receive gifts, and there are only a handful of people to whom they can give gifts, Kangxi being one of them. The gifts presented to Kangxi are meant to show filial piety, but the princes themselves don't believe how pure that is.

Cheng'an had long since come down from Yinzhen's arms. At this moment, he was holding Yinxiang's hand, gently swinging a peach blossom and reciting poems.

When he saw Da Ge hitting himself on the head from time to time, he quickly let go of Yin Xiang and ran over to him and said, "Da Ge is giving you flowers~"

Yinzhi was just worrying about what birthday gift to give him, but when he saw the peach blossoms he was holding up and his smiling face that was more romantic than the peach blossoms, he simply reached out and picked him up.

"Is there anything Cheng'an wants?" Yinzhi thought that since he couldn't think of it, he might as well ask him himself.

When the little guy heard what he said, he tilted his head and looked at him for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Da~"

Hearing his soft voice, Yinzhi's heart softened as well. He stroked his little head and thought that as long as he asked, he would get him back even the rarest thing.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want Brother Da to teach An An how to fly~" Cheng An said excitedly.

Yinzhi: “…”

The little guy's pronunciation was already quite clear at this point, so it was unlikely that he would pretend he had heard it wrong.

"Cheng'an, be good. Big brother would like to teach you, but big brother must also be able to fly!" Yinzhi felt like crying but had no tears, wondering how could he dare to think so.

Hearing his words, the little guy said anxiously: "Brother Da, you promised to teach An An how to fly~"

I am not, I don't have any, no matter how popular you are, you can't just talk nonsense...

Yinzhi complained in his heart.

"A man without integrity cannot stand. Since you have promised Cheng'an, it is better for you to do what you say." Yinreng said with a chuckle.

Seeing that he was just watching the fun, Yinzhi glared at him fiercely and thought that they should die together. He lowered his head and said to the little guy in his arms: "Cheng'an, what do you want your second brother to give you?"

When Cheng An heard this, he immediately remembered his second brother's promise to him, raised his little face and looked at him and said, "An An wants an underwater palace~"

The palace is not a big problem, but what about the underwater palace?

Yinreng didn't expect Yinzhi to drag him into this, and his expression gradually became helpless.

"Where did my second brother promise to give An'anda an underwater palace?"

Yinreng: “…”

Did I promise?

Yinreng was really helpless. Seeing the little fellow looking at him eagerly, he could only point to the front and say, "That branch of peach blossoms is in full bloom. Second brother will pick it for you."

After he finished speaking, he quickly left the area. To be honest, it was the first time that the brothers saw him in such a hurry, and they all felt a little amused.

Cheng An wanted to tell his second brother that he didn't want flowers, but wanted the underwater palace, but seeing his second brother walking so fast, he could only turn around and look at Da Ge who was holding him: "Da Ge..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yinzhi quickly put him down as if he had been burned by him, and then walked towards Yinreng and said, "That branch of peach blossom is indeed blooming beautifully, big brother, go and have a look too."

After saying this, Yinzhi strode forward, his pace slightly faster than other people's jogging.

Cheng An stood there and blinked, then looked up at Yin Zhi: "Third brother~"

Yinzhi had just finished painting and came over to join in the fun. When he heard his voice, he thought to himself that he couldn't fly and didn't have an underwater palace. He smiled at him and backed away: "Third brother, you haven't finished your painting yet."

When the little guy saw his third brother leave, he looked up at his other brothers.

None of the brothers had that ability, so they all avoided his sight and went around to look at the flowers, only keeping an eye on him out of the corner of their eyes.

When Cheng'an saw his brothers all leaving in a flash, his cheeks puffed up unconsciously.

It was Da Ge himself who said he wanted to teach An An how to fly...

As the little fellow thought about it, he suddenly felt a little aggrieved. He puffed up his cheeks and squatted down holding the peach branch in his hand.

The princes felt distressed when they saw this scene and turned to approach him, even Yinzhi and Yinreng were no exception.

When they got closer, they heard the little guy complaining in a baby voice: "Liar, An'anda, my brother is a liar..."

Obviously they were all liars, but the brothers still found it a little funny to hear his angry voice.

"Okay, you even dare to scold your elder brother!" Yinzhi bent down and poked his little shoulder.

When Cheng An heard his voice, he thought of how he had just dropped him and ran away, so he twisted his shoulders to shake his fingers off.

The little guy is usually well-behaved and obedient, and he is rarely seen throwing tantrums. It is rare to see him throwing tantrums, and Yinzhi finds it quite interesting.

"Are you angry?" Yinzhi simply squatted down beside him and gently bumped his shoulder with his.

The little fellow responded by moving his two little feet and turning around, continuing to turn his back to him.

When Yinzhi saw him like this, he would have laughed out loud if he hadn't been worried about making him even angrier.

Not only him, but other princes also felt that the little guy was too lovable. Yinzhen simply lifted up his skirt and squatted in front of him, calling softly, "Cheng'an."

Cheng'an glanced at him secretly, and thought of how his fourth brother had just left him and walked away, and continued to turn around angrily.

As soon as he finished turning, Yin'e squatted down, forcing him to continue turning.

Yinreng saw the little guy turning towards him, took two steps forward and squatted in front of him.

With his joining, there were people on all sides of Cheng'an. The little guy subconsciously turned around and turned back to Yinzhi.

When the little guy was happy, he would think that his brothers were playing with him. But now he was unhappy, and he felt even more aggrieved, and his eyes began to turn red.

Yinzhi saw this and immediately became anxious. He hugged the man and coaxed him, "Don't cry, don't cry. I was wrong. Can I take you to ride a horse?"

He really can't fly, but when the horse runs, it feels like flying.

Yinreng didn't expect him to cry, and didn't care that he was in Yinzhi's arms. He approached him and patted his back gently, saying, "If Cheng'an likes palaces, can my second brother give Yuqing Palace to you?"

As for the underwater palace, he really doesn't have that.

Yuqing Palace is the symbol of the Eastern Palace. Hearing Yinreng's words, the other princes couldn't help but look sideways slightly, but it was obviously the little guy who was about to cry was more important at this moment, so they immediately followed suit to comfort him.

Yinzhi: "Doesn't Cheng'an like plum blossoms? Third brother has a lot of related calligraphy and paintings for you to choose from."

Yinzhen: "Fourth brother will teach you calligraphy. Next year, Cheng'an will be able to write the word 'Fu' by himself."

Yinqi thought about how he couldn't understand the Queen Mother when she occasionally spoke Mongolian, so he said, "Fifth brother will teach you Mongolian."

"Then... let Seventh Brother teach you how to paint?" Yinyou probably felt that he was not as good as his third brother in painting, and his tone was a little uncertain.

Yinsi thought that he liked to go out and play, so he coaxed him: "Do you want to go out of the palace to play?"

When the little guy heard this, he looked over subconsciously.

Seeing this, Yinzhen took the opportunity to say: "Don't you like gold, Cheng'an? When you grow up, Brother Jiu will teach you how to earn it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yinreng and Yinzhen glanced over at the same time.

Yin'e saw that they had said almost everything they could say, so he thought for a moment before saying, "One day I'll take you to an opera if I have the chance."

"Then Twelfth Brother invites you out of the palace for dinner? Don't you like the Cuckoo Chicken in the east of the city?" Yinlu said.

Yinxiang: "As long as you don't cry, I will accompany you to do whatever you want."

"Why are you crying? If you see someone you don't like, tell him his name and Fourteenth Brother will beat him up for you." Yinzhen said.

His words immediately attracted the attention of the brothers.

Yinyu: "I will bring you candied haws when I come to the palace some other day."

"I got a new jade pendant yesterday. How about I give it to you tomorrow?" Yinlu said.

Yinli: "There's a new pastry shop opened in the capital. The pastries there taste pretty good. I'll bring some to you next time, Brother Seventeen."

The reason why Cheng'an felt so aggrieved was not entirely because Yinzhi and Yinreng did not agree to teach him to fly and give him an underwater palace, but because he was used to his brothers' doting on him and used to his brothers vying to hug him and be close to him. Just now, they suddenly dispersed and left him alone, which was what made the little guy feel the most aggrieved.

All the brothers took turns to coax him, and the mist in the little guy's eyes slowly dissipated, but he still spoke with a little grievance: "Brother, don't be An An!"

"How could that be? If the Emperor hadn't disagreed, Tenth Brother would have wanted to take you back home directly." Yin'e felt so distressed when he saw his little appearance that he hurriedly said.

"How could Second Brother bear to give up Cheng An?"

Yinreng regretted what he had done when he heard his tone. He reached out and took him into his arms, and subconsciously kissed his soft little face.

Sometimes, actions can really express affection better than words. The moment Yinreng kissed her, he immediately understood why the little guy had kissed him before.

Cheng An was really a little guy who was easy to coax. Feeling his gentle and loving kiss, he immediately felt happy again. However, he couldn't help but ask a question when he reached out to touch his kissed face: "Didn't the second brother say not to touch without permission?"

"Cheng'an is so likable that second brother can't help himself." After saying this, Yinreng kissed him on the other side of the cheek.

The little guy immediately laughed after receiving two kisses, hugged him and kissed him back with a "bo" sound.

Yinzhi had just thought of a lot of words to coax the little guy, but Yinreng had already made him smile. Feeling a little unhappy, Yinzhi glared at Yinreng.

Feeling the little guy's milky kiss, Yinreng was in such a good mood that he was too lazy to argue with him.

Although the prince envied Yinreng's treatment, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little guy being coaxed.

A group of people just squatted down to coax Cheng'an, and now their feet felt numb when they tried to stand up after coaxing him.

The little guy felt okay when Yinzhi and Yinreng took turns holding him, but when he saw his brothers stomping their feet to relieve their tension, he thought it was fun and started jumping around on the spot too.

Seeing that he was happy again, Yinzhi felt that children were just children, their emotions came and went quickly.

He reached out and took the little guy back into his arms and asked, "Do you want to continue admiring the flowers?"

"An An wants to ride a horse!"

Cheng'an wanted to ride a horse when he went to Yushe Palace with Yinyi and others before, but Yinyi didn't dare to take him. Now Yinzhi said he would take him riding a horse to coax him, which made him think about it.

"Okay, big brother will take you for a horse ride." Yinzhi was very confident in his riding skills, and the weather was good at the moment, so he agreed immediately.

Although Yinreng did not get along with him, he had to admit that he was indeed not as good as him in terms of riding and shooting, so he did not say anything to spoil his mood.

Yinzhen did wonder if it was too early for the little guy to ride a horse at this age, but thinking about Yinzhi's riding skills, and the fact that there were so many people watching, nothing would happen, he finally did not object.

Of course, the main reason he didn't object was that the little guy's aggrieved look just now was so pitiful, and Yinzhen also wanted to make the little guy happy.

If one wanted to ride horses in the palace, the only suitable place was the Yushe Hall, so the group went there from the Imperial Garden.

"Brother Twenty can shoot arrows~"

When we got to the Sun Archery Hall, the little guy who saw the target from afar was reminded of his past. He said and gestured: "This is how to shoot~"

Seeing that he was still imitating the sound of archery, Yin'e said with a smile: "Everyone can shoot arrows. I'll show you my skills later, Brother Ten."

"If I remember correctly, you haven't touched a bow and arrow for some time?" Seeing that he was still blowing it, Yinzhen couldn't help but glance at him.

Seeing that he was destroying his own stage, Yin'e patted his arm and whispered, "Ninth brother, please save some face for me in front of Cheng'an."

"When you grow up a little, I will teach you archery myself." Seeing that the little guy seemed interested in archery, Yinzhi pinched his little hand and said.

The little guy immediately laughed happily: "Brother Da is so nice~"

Hearing this, Yinzhi took the opportunity to touch his own face and said, "Then you should also give big brother a kiss."

Maybe it was because Yinreng had kissed him just now, the little guy had forgotten what Yinreng had taught him before, "Don't touch without permission", and he just leaned in and kissed her.

Although it was clearly a kiss on the face, Yinzhi felt his heart tremble slightly with this kiss, and his face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.

"Come on, big brother will take you on a horse ride and let you feel what it means to gallop as fast as the wind." After Yinzhi said this, he asked someone to bring the horse over.

Cheng An clapped his hands expectantly when he heard his words: "Okay~"

After Yinzhi carried the little guy onto the horse, Yinzhen couldn't help but remind him, "Cheng'an is still young, big brother, don't ride too fast."

"Don't worry." Yinzhi dared to be careless about other things, but when it came to the one in his arms, not to mention Kangxi, he would be heartbroken if anything really happened, so he would not let anything happen to him even if he had something wrong.

Compared to the other princes who were somewhat worried, Cheng'an himself was much more excited. After all, the feeling of sitting on a high horse's back was completely different from that of a small wooden horse.

"Brother, look after An An~"

Seeing the little guy's high spirits, the brothers all responded with smiles.
