On the first night after leaving the grassland, Cheng'an was lying in bed and suddenly opened his eyes.

Kangxi was about to put down the book in his hand when he saw him open his eyes again. He couldn't help asking, "Can't sleep?"

"An An misses Ya Ya and Xiong Xiong..."

The little guy was almost falling asleep because of the sound of his reading, but while he was sleeping, the figures of his two little friends suddenly appeared in his mind, and he woke up again.

Kangxi didn't expect that he would suddenly think of this. He touched his head and said, "Don't we still have Yuanyuan? How about raising it near the deer park when we get back?"

Bears grow in the wild, but sheep are originally kept in captivity, so Yuanyuan was brought along.

The little fellow was distracted by these words and thought of the deer in the imperial garden. He asked in a baby voice, "Will Yuanyuan and the deer fight?"

The reason why he asked this was because he had seen a lone wolf hunting when he was playing on the grassland. There was a bear next to him at the time, and the wolf was too alert to do anything to the little guy, so he quickly drove the prey away.

When the little guy saw that scene, he thought it was a fight, and thus he came up with the concept that different animals could fight each other.

"If you don't keep it in the deer park or separate it from the others, it won't happen." After saying this, Kangxi continued to read the book in his hand to coax him to sleep.

After the little fellow heard his reading voice temporarily quiet down for a while, he began to mutter in a low voice: "The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep..."

On the way back to Beijing, Kangxi and the princes tried their best to play with the little guy so that he would not be reminded of the separation.

Perhaps among all these years, this return trip was the busiest one in the imperial carriage.

Kangxi not only indulged his sons in playing with the little ones in his imperial carriage, but he would even cooperate when he was not busy. For example, at this moment, he was leading the little one to play with the black pieces, while Yinreng and Yinzhen played with the white pieces on the opposite side.

Go is still too complicated for the little guy, so the father and son played Go-Star Connect.

Kangxi did not teach the little fellow how to play, but instead began to guide him: "Count the number of white pieces on this side."

"One, two, three," Cheng An stretched out his fingers and counted carefully, then looked up and said, "There are three!"

Kangxi: "What should we do then?"

"Block it~" the little guy said and quickly grabbed a black piece to block the white piece.

"Oh my, Cheng'an actually found out!" Yin'e pretended to be annoyed.

Cheng An chuckled when he heard this, with a little pride on his face.

Seeing him smiling so happily, Yin'e picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard, saying, "It's four in a row!"

"An An, block it again~" the little guy said and grabbed another chess piece to block it.

Seeing that he was being led by the white piece and was always blocking the way, Kangxi shook his head and finally raised his finger to point at him two steps.

The brothers were just playing with the little guy, so they naturally didn't take it too seriously, and it didn't take long for him to successfully connect five stars in a row.

"One, two, three, four, five, An An wins!"

Not only did Kangxi play with him in the car during the day, but sometimes when they rested in a town, he would also take him out for a walk.

Although Cheng'an was young, he could feel the favor of his father and brothers towards him, and he was no longer sad about leaving the grassland.

That evening, when the father and son went out for a walk, the little guy suddenly started to act like a spoiled child and asked Kangxi to carry him on his back.

Kangxi had never carried anyone on his back before, so when he heard his words, he tapped his forehead and asked, "Why should I carry you on my back?"

"Yaya Ama carried him on his back!" Cheng An said in a baby voice.

Although there was no envy in his words, Kangxi hesitated for two seconds before lifting his clothes and squatting in front of him.

The main reason was that the little guy would often lie on his back and play before going to bed at night, so Kangxi thought it was no big deal.

"Your Majesty..." Liang Jiugong shouted subconsciously, and when he saw the little prince happily jumping on his back, he hurried forward to lend a hand.

Waiting for someone to lie on your back

After that, Kangxi raised his hand and patted his little butt: "Are you satisfied?"

The little guy laughed happily, hugged his neck, kissed him on the face, and then leaned his head on his shoulder affectionately.

"An An likes Ama the most~"

When Kangxi was carrying the little guy back, he suddenly heard a soft voice next to his ear, which made the corners of his lips rise unconsciously.

In the capital city.

Yinzhi and Yinzhi were very happy when they heard that Kangxi was finally returning to Beijing. While thinking that the little guy was finally coming back, they made arrangements to welcome him.

It was a fine day when the imperial carriage finally arrived outside the capital.

"Ama, look! It's the first brother, the third brother, the eighth brother, and the twelfth brother!"

After returning after being away for a few months, Kangxi, Yinreng and others were all amazed at seeing the city wall of the capital. Only the little one noticed Yinzhi and others who were waiting for him outside the city at the first time.

When Kangxi heard him calling this "brother" and that "brother", his eyes showed a bit of helplessness, especially when he saw that he tried to run out before the bicycle frame had stopped, he quickly grabbed him and said, "What are you in such a hurry for!"

Thinking about how he was not happy about coming back before, and now seeing Yinzhi and the others so excited again, Kangxi felt that children are indeed children.

"An An misses his brother!"

Kangxi thought of how he had just hugged him and said he loved him the most a few days ago, and now he was calling him brother, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face.

When the imperial carriage stopped at the gate of the capital, princes Yinzhi, Yinzhi and others, together with the emperor's grandson and the civil and military officials who stayed in the capital, bowed and welcomed him back to the capital.

After Kangxi signaled them not to bow, he was too lazy to stop the little guy who was running down.

Since he has already returned to the capital, he will eventually have to return to the palace no matter how much he runs around.

With Kangxi's indulgence, the little guy ran quickly to Yinzhi and the others: "Brother~"

When the civil and military officials standing behind Yinzhi saw the little prince, they did not show any expression on their faces, but there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Obviously, the news about the little prince Golden Dragon on the grassland has been reported back. It is said that seeing is believing, and the civil and military officials should not have believed such things so easily, but they soon thought of the incident when the Golden Dragon brought rain during the previous drought.

They saw it with their own eyes, so they had to believe it.

Of course, they did not think that it was the little prince who caused the rainfall. After all, he looked too young. The civil and military officials also had some doubts. Could it be that the royal family was really the incarnation of a real dragon, but they had kept it a secret before?

Yinzhi and his friends didn't know what the people behind them were thinking. They missed Cheng'an very much after not seeing him for a long time. However, it was not suitable to reminisce about the past, so they just looked at him with a smile. It seemed that he didn't get tanned after staying in the grassland for so long, but instead grew a little taller.

When the imperial carriage started moving again and headed towards the city, Yinzhi took the opportunity to carry the little guy onto his horse.

"An An misses you, brother!" Cheng An leaned in his arms and acted coquettishly.

Yinzhi smiled when he heard this, touched his head and said, "You have a conscience."

Yinzhi, who was riding a horse beside him, heard this and said, "You only think about your elder brother?"

When the little guy heard his voice, he immediately turned around and said, "An An misses his third brother~"

After saying this, he did not forget his other two brothers. He turned around and expressed his longing for them in a baby voice.

"My eighth brother also wants An An." Yinsi replied with a smile.

Cheng'an had so much fun playing around before that he didn't want to go back to Beijing, but now as he sat on horseback and looked at the bustling streets of Beijing, he felt as if his eyes were not enough to see.

"Brother Da, look at the candied haws~" the little guy stretched out his hand.

Yinzhi knew that he wanted to eat, so he smiled and said, "Brother, let someone buy it for you."

"Brother Da is the best~"

The team returning to the palace could not stop rashly, and no matter how careless Yinzhi was, he would not let him eat on horseback. Therefore, the candied haws did not reach the little guy's hand until he dismounted and entered the palace, and there was only one of them.

After all, the palace was the place where the little guy stayed the longest. He didn't feel it when he was not back, but after he came back, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

Tsunetsu

Although Ti and the others missed him, they also knew that they had just returned from a long journey and it was not a good time to spend time with him. So after sending him to the palace, they consciously went back to their respective residences with Yinzhen and the others.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

After all, Kangxi was old, so when he came back he sat on the Luohan bed to rest. Seeing the little guy running around the hall, he thought the boy was in good spirits.

The little fellow, who had been enjoying himself so much on the grassland before, was happy to see everything when he returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, especially when he saw the underwater palace.

"Look, Dad, the fish has grown up~" Cheng An said after lying on the table and looking at the fish for a while.

The fish in the underwater palace are indeed well-fed and have grown a lot bigger than before the little guy left.

"Yeah." Kangxi responded casually. Seeing that he finished looking at the fish and then ran to play with the wooden horse that he had not taken away before, he felt that this was the reason why he was unwilling to come back before.

The Qianqing Palace is full of traces of the little guy's life. Things that he used to get bored of playing with become interesting again after a while, and he runs around the palace on his little wooden horse.

"Hurry, hurry~"

After playing on the wooden horse for a while, he suddenly remembered his swing and immediately got up and ran out.

Seeing that he was so energetic, Kangxi was afraid that Liu Cai and the others could not keep an eye on him, so he waved his hand to signal Liang Jiugong to go out and take care of him.

With the return of the little guy, the originally deserted Qianqing Palace suddenly became lively again.

Coincidentally, the Mid-Autumn Festival was just two days after Kangxi and others returned to Beijing.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a good day, especially for little ones who like lively atmosphere and love food.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the table is decorated with red pomegranates and various seasonal fruits, as well as colorful flowers, and the festive atmosphere is everywhere.

When the banquet officially began, Cheng'an was immediately attracted by the golden crabs on the table.

"What is Ama?"

"crab."

"An An wants to eat~"

Crabs are cold in nature and not suitable for him to eat. Kangxi said, "They are just shells and not very tasty."

"Can An An have one?"

Seeing that the little guy was clamoring for food, Kangxi simply asked someone to put an unpeeled crab in front of him.

Cheng'an looked down at the crab in front of him, his big black eyes meeting the crab's small black eyes. Then he reached out and poked its shell, finding it was really hard. He then touched its claws and felt a little prickly.

The little guy tilted his head and looked at the crab in front of him for a while, then simply picked up the crab with both hands and brought it to his mouth.

Kangxi kept his eyes on him, and when he saw him holding the crab and preparing to bite it directly, he almost laughed out of anger.

"Young brother, you can't do this!" Liang Jiugong hurriedly helped to stop him.

Seeing him stop him, Cheng'an put the crab down and looked at Kangxi again: "Father, how do you eat it?"

"You are still young and can't eat too much. Can you just try a few bites?" Seeing how greedy he was, Kangxi thought that if he didn't let him eat today, he might really bite the crab directly.

The little guy nodded: "Okay~"

When Kangxi saw that he agreed, he ordered someone to open the crab for him and then fed him a piece of it with his chopsticks himself.

Crabs are delicious in themselves, and these are crabs that were tributed to the palace, so they taste even more delicious.

Cheng'an tasted the crab meat and shook his head slightly, thinking it was delicious.

"ah……"

Seeing that he had just swallowed the crab meat and then opened his little mouth towards him again, with an expression of wanting to be fed, Kangxi smiled and fed him another mouthful of crab meat.

“It’s delicious~”

Although the food tasted delicious, Kangxi didn't dare to let him eat more. He would stop after feeding him one bite and pick up other dishes for him to eat.

The dishes at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet were very rich, but after the little guy tasted the delicious crab, he kept his eyes on the golden crab while eating other dishes.

Since there was no crab to eat at Kangxi’s place, the little guy soon ran over to find his brother.

When Yinzhi saw him coming, he quickly hugged him in his arms.

"Brother Da~" The little guy saw that there were indeed crabs on his table, and leaned softly in his arms

Shouting.

Yinzhi took the man into his arms before grabbing the other brothers, and asked in a good mood: "What's wrong?"

"An An wants crab~" Cheng An pointed at the table and said.

Yinzhi thought that crabs had more shell than meat and were boring to eat, so he just tasted one and didn't touch any more. But when he heard that he wanted one, he just picked one up and put it in front of him.

The little guy took the crab and glanced up secretly. Seeing that his father wasn't paying attention, he whispered, "Brother Da, can you open it?"

Yinzhi originally thought that he wanted to play with the crabs, but after hearing these words, he realized that he wanted to eat them.

"Can you eat it?" he asked uncertainly.

The little guy said in a baby voice: "Ama, give it to An An~"

When he came over, the other princes all turned their attention to him. When they saw him holding a crab and asking Yinzhen to peel it, Yinzhen said, "Crabs are cold in nature, so he can't eat too much."

Yinzhi heard this and said to him, "Did you hear that? Since you have already eaten at the Emperor's Ama's place, you cannot eat again now."

The little guy's fair face was immediately filled with disappointment, and he couldn't help but gently pat the crab in his hand.

Seeing him getting angry about the crabs, Yinzhi found it a little funny and picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and fed it to him.

Cheng An ate it in one gulp, bit it hard, and felt that it tasted a bit good. After swallowing it, he asked, "What is it?"

"It's chestnut." Yinzhi said and fed him another bite.

The chestnuts soaked in broth taste not only fresh and fragrant like meat, but also soft, sticky and sweet. It is indeed a taste that little ones will like.

The little guy kept asking his brothers for help but failed to get the crabs, so he finally gave up.

Fortunately, he could still play with it even if he couldn't eat it. He held a crab claw in his hand and threatened people: "I'll pinch you~"

"It's just a small crab claw. Watch me eat it in one bite." Yin E said as he actually bit the crab claw that he waved over.

His teeth were hard, so he actually bit it open and ate the crab meat inside.

Cheng An exclaimed, "Wow!" and said, "Brother Shi is awesome~"

"It's just a crab. Brother Ten can eat one in one bite." Yin'e said.

Seeing that he was still feeling proud, Yinzhen glanced at him speechlessly.

After playing with Yin'e for a while, the little guy took a crab claw into his hand, played with it for a while, and then tried to secretly bite the crab claw.

Obviously, he wanted to learn from Yin'e and bite open the crab claws to eat the meat inside.

"Why are you so greedy?" Before he really took a bite, Yinzhen had already noticed it. He took the crab claw from his hand and cracked it open for him with the eight crab pieces, and said, "You can only eat this crab claw again."

"Okay!" The little guy nodded, and was finally satisfied after eating the crab claw meat he fed him.

In addition to delicious food and drinks, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet also includes performances to suit the occasion.

However, although this kind of drama is lively, it does not have any fighting scenes and is not very attractive to the little guy. He just watches it for a few seconds and then runs around to play.

"Second brother An An wants to eat that~"

When he ran to Yinreng, he took a fancy to the big pomegranate on the table.

The pomegranate was originally meant to be a decorative object, but since he wanted to eat it, Yinreng had someone peel one.

The bright red pomegranate seeds have a crystal-clear feel and look very beautiful when placed in a glass bowl.

"It's delicious!" The little guy held the spoon and took a bite, his eyes curved, "Brother, eat it~"

Yinreng took a bite and found the pomegranate quite sweet.

A peeled pomegranate can fill a whole bowl, and the little one who loves to share quickly took the bowl and started distributing it everywhere.

When he returned to Kangxi, Kangxi saw that he had been eating non-stop. After tasting the pomegranate, he said to him, "Eat less. There will be mooncakes later."

During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Kangxi did not allow crabs to appear in front of the little guy, but he still let him taste mooncakes.

Mooncakes may not taste much better than ordinary cakes, but little ones will eat less.

Hearing about moon cakes, he immediately took the remaining stones

He handed the durian bowl to Kangxi: "Eat it, Ama~"

Kangxi did not refuse. He took it and ate it bite by bite.

The little guy stayed beside him and watched him eat the pomegranate for a while, then ran over to the Queen Mother and the others.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a family banquet, but it is held in two places. Kangxi and the princes are in one place, and the empress dowager, concubines, and the princes' wives are in another place.

The arrival of the little guy was naturally welcomed by the Queen Mother and others, and they even brought food from the table to him to eat.

"An An doesn't want to eat~"

The Queen Mother and the others knew how much the little guy loved to eat, and they were a little surprised to see him refuse.

"An An, you have to save room for the mooncakes~" Cheng An said in a baby voice, patting his little belly.

For the Queen Mother and others, mooncakes are just a snack to suit the occasion, but seeing how excited the little one is, they are also aroused with some anticipation.

In fact, when they were young, they did look forward to eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but as they grew older, they seemed to care less about them.

Seeing the lively and clever appearance of the little guy, the Queen Mother and others all smiled.

It is said that the moon is fullest on the 16th day of the lunar month, but this year it is rare that we can see the full moon on the 15th day of the lunar month.

After the moon was high in the sky, it was finally time for the little ones to enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes as they had been looking forward to for a long time.

In previous years, the party was always about mooncakes, and everyone would just take a couple of bites and the party would be almost over.

This year, seeing the little ones eagerly waiting to eat mooncakes, Kangxi became interested and asked them to recite a poem suitable for the occasion first. If they couldn't recite it well, they would not have mooncakes.

This naturally did not pose any difficulty for the princes, and several of them even composed poems on the spot based on their inspiration.

When the little guy heard his brothers reciting poems, he kept applauding.

"What other poems has the mynah bird written?" Yin'e had thought of a line, but he didn't expect Yinqi to recite it to him, so he could only ask for help in a low voice.

Yinsi gently taught him a lesson, telling him to get away with it so as not to be scolded by Kangxi during such a big festival.

When it was the turn of the five-year-old Yinqi, he also recited a line under the reminder of Yinhu beside him: "The moon shines brightly in front of the window, I wonder if it is frost on the ground."

After listening to this, Cheng'an continued to applaud.

"It's your turn." Kangxi said when he saw that he still had time to applaud.

"Um?"

The little guy didn't react for a moment and looked around in confusion.

Kangxi saw this and directly named: "Yinmi."

"I'm here~" The little guy raised one of his hands while speaking.

Kangxi pretended to be serious and said, "It's your turn to recite a poem. If you can't recite it, you won't have mooncakes to eat."

"Two orioles are chirping, and a line of egrets are flying in the blue sky~" Cheng An immediately shook his head and recited.

Kangxi was too lazy to correct that it was "green willow" instead of "chirp", and said: "Change it to something related to the moon."

When the little guy heard this request, he tilted his head and thought about it.

The brothers deliberately kept the poem "Asking the Moon with Wine" for him to recite, and when they saw that he couldn't remember it, they couldn't help but remind him.

In the end, Yinreng put his fist to his lips, cleared his throat, and spat out two words: "Today's people."

The little guy had a good memory. After being reminded, he immediately shook his head and said, "People today cannot see the moon of the past, but this moon once shone on the ancients~"

"Not bad." Kangxi praised with a smile and then asked people to cut the mooncakes.

The mooncakes specially made by the imperial chef are large and round, printed with delicate moon-related patterns, and weigh more than two kilograms.

As the mooncake is cut, the fragrance gradually emanates.

"Let's eat mooncakes~" Cheng'an clapped his hands happily as he smelled the fragrance.

After Kangxi picked up the first mooncake, he did not eat it himself, but handed it to the little one who had been waiting for a long time.

“Ama is the best~” the little guy said and immediately took a big bite of the mooncake.

Seeing how happily he was eating, Kangxi and the princes also tried some, and felt that it tasted much better than in previous years.

To Cheng'an, mooncakes tasted better than many other pastries. After finishing the one in his hand, he immediately looked up and shouted "Kangxi".

Seeing that he wanted more after eating one piece, Kangxi touched his stomach and handed him another small piece, saying, "The last piece."

"I know~" Cheng An nodded and started eating in small bites.

The brothers were not like him. They felt that they had enough after finishing the piece in their hands, and even drank tea to relieve the greasiness.

Kangxi also picked up the tea and took two sips. After putting down the teacup, he turned to look at Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong received his gaze, took out the imperial edict he had prepared long ago and opened it: "By the will of Heaven..."

The content of the imperial edict was nothing else but to appoint Yinzhen as the General of Fuyuan and order him to attack Tsewang Arabtan.

This was decided by Kangxi when he was in the grassland. He should have issued the decree after returning to Beijing, but thinking that Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, he postponed it to today so that Yinzhen could set out after Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yinzhen was very surprised when he heard the content of the imperial edict. After all, he had wanted to be Baturu of the Qing Dynasty and lead troops to fight since he was a child.

Yinsi and Yin'er had a good relationship with him, so they were naturally happy for him. Yinzhen also felt somewhat relieved for him. As for the other princes, they were also happy for him, but also a little envious.

However, Yinzhi's expression did not change, but his eyes were a little dim.

"I will obey your orders and live up to your expectations!"

Yinzhen took the imperial edict with a somewhat excited tone.
