After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Cheng'an followed Kangxi back to the bedroom.

After washing up, the little guy in pajamas sat on the bed and played with the golden moon cake.

The golden mooncakes were given to him by Yinzhen. Each mooncake was not much bigger than a chess piece, but was made very delicately, and the patterns and designs were no different from real mooncakes.

The little guy would stack the mooncakes, count them with his hands, or hit two golden mooncakes together to listen to the sound.

It was not until Kangxi had finished bathing that he raised a golden mooncake and said in a baby voice, "Father, eat mooncakes~"

Kangxi looked at the golden mooncake in his hand that was so big that it could knock out a person's teeth, and pushed his hand back: "Eat one and show it to Father."

Upon hearing this, the little guy opened his mouth and started eating with a "woooo, woooo" sound.

Kangxi was originally on guard against him actually biting the food, but he was relieved when he saw that he knew how to pretend to eat.

It was not particularly late at this time, and seeing that he had something to play with, Kangxi leaned back on the bed and started reading a book.

"Dad, eat it~" The little guy finished eating the mooncake himself and then pushed the mooncake to him.

Seeing how persistent he was, Kangxi could only cooperate and took a bite: "Father has eaten, go and play by yourself."

“Is it delicious?”

"It's delicious." Kangxi said casually.

After getting the answer, the little guy continued to play with the golden mooncake next to him.

The father and son each do their own things, and they look quite harmonious.

After a moment, Cheng An suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "Father, what is a general?"

When Kangxi heard his words, he explained casually while flipping through the book.

The little guy seemed to understand what he heard.

It was not until a few days later, when General Fuyuan Yinzhen led his troops to war, that Cheng'an stood on the city wall with Kangxi and looked at his brother sitting on horseback in armor and looking majestic, that he had a deeper understanding of the general.

The little fellow, who didn't know that his fourteenth brother would not be back for a short time, waved to the people below and said, "Father, An An wants to be a general~"

"Okay, let's talk about it when you grow up." Kangxi said, touching his head.

Under the city wall.

Yinzhen was more high-spirited than ever before. He looked back for the last time and then led his troops away with an indomitable momentum.

It was not until a few days after he left that Cheng'an realized that Fourteenth Brother was missing.

"Where's Ama Fourteenth Brother?"

"Didn't I bring you to see him off a few days ago? Have you forgotten?" Kangxi asked instead of answering.

The little guy has actually reacted a little now, and can't help but say: "An An misses Fourteenth Brother!"

"Then you continue to think about it." Kangxi said lightly.

After saying this, he continued to write.

Kangxi was quite satisfied with his son Yinzhen. At this time, he wrote an imperial edict to the Mongolian princes and others in Qinghai, instructing them to cooperate with Yinzhen in military affairs and other aspects.

"Oh my God!" The little guy couldn't help stamping his feet when he heard him ask him to continue thinking.

Kangxi ignored him. After he finished writing the imperial edict, he looked down at him and said, "It's no use for you to call me father. Leading troops to fight is no joke. Your fourteenth brother is still on the way. If you miss him, write to him."

Cheng An heard the seriousness in his tone, and the little guy who was about to make a fuss suddenly became well-behaved and went to the side to "write" a letter with his own miniature pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Fighting a war is not just the job of General Yinzhen. Someone also has to arrange the food and military supplies. Therefore, as he left Beijing, Yinzhen and his men also became busy.

Although Yinzhen and his family are very busy, they still take time to visit the little guy. On the contrary, Yinzhi, who is not so busy, has not entered the palace recently.

That day, after lunch, Cheng'an came to Xian'an Palace. After playing with Yinreng for a while, he couldn't help but look up and call him: "Second brother..."

"What's wrong?" Yinreng looked at him.

"Is Da Ge going to the war too?"

Yinreng looked a little surprised when he heard this.

She looked puzzled, obviously not understanding why he said that.

"No, why would Cheng An ask that?"

When the little guy heard his words, he pursed his lips and said, "Why doesn't Brother Nada come to see An An?"

In fact, he had asked Kangxi the same question a few days ago, and Kangxi naturally answered in the negative.

The little guy probably hadn't seen Yinzhi in the past two days, so he couldn't help but ask him again.

Yinreng really didn't know that Yinzhi hadn't entered the palace recently. After all, now was not the same as before, so he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's movements.

It is really true that the person who knows you best is your enemy. Yinreng realized quickly that Yinzhi did not enter the palace probably because he was in a bad mood because Yinzhen was appointed as the general.

Naturally, there was no conflict between Yinzhi and Yinzhen. On the contrary, their relationship became much closer after the Bibuku incident. So the reason he was in a bad mood was not because Yinzhen was reused, but because he thought of himself in the past.

"Second brother?" Seeing that his second brother suddenly stopped talking, Cheng An couldn't help but hold his arm and shake it twice.

Yinreng came out of his thoughts and saw that the little guy seemed a little unhappy. He touched his head and said, "If you miss your elder brother, I'll ask someone to call him for you."

"Okay!" The little guy nodded immediately.

The eldest prince’s mansion.

Just as Yinreng guessed, Yinzhi was indeed in a bad mood since the Mid-Autumn Festival. Not to mention entering the palace, he was unwilling to even leave the mansion these days.

When he heard that Yinreng sent someone to his house, his first reaction was that the other party wanted to make fun of him, so he immediately ordered his servants to kick the person out.

Fortunately, he finally asked someone to ask first, and found out that the person who came was actually delivering a message for Cheng An. The unhappiness in his heart disappeared instantly.

Remembering that he had not been to the palace to see the little guy for a long time, Yinzhi hesitated for two seconds before packing up and going out.

After entering the palace, Yinzhi felt a little unhappy when he learned that the little guy was still in Xian'an Palace, but he did not stop.

"Brother Da!"

When he entered Xian'an Palace, Cheng'an in the main hall heard the noise and ran out immediately.

He didn't feel it before he saw the person, but when he saw the little guy in front of him, Yinzhi regretted not coming to see him recently, especially when he saw him pursing his little lips and looking at him with a bit of grievance.

"It's my fault, brother. I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go to the palace." Yinzhi reached out and picked him up to coax him.

Yinreng glanced at him indifferently but did not expose him.

The little fellow was happier when he saw Yinzhi. After being coaxed by him, he immediately hugged his neck and said softly: "An An misses brother..."

"Brother is here." Yinzhi touched his head and carried him back to the main hall to sit down.

The little guy was very happy to finally see him after many days. After acting coquettishly in his arms for a while, he happily held him with one hand and Yinreng with the other hand to go to the Imperial Garden to play.

Yinzhi felt a little better after seeing the little guy, but he was still a little annoyed in his heart and was not in the mood to find fault with Yinreng.

Ever since Yinreng was unsealed, no one cared to bother with him unless he took the initiative to cause trouble, so the two of them walked on either side of the little guy and got along peacefully along the way.

Compared to the two of them, the little guy was obviously in a good mood and was jumping around as he walked.

After arriving at the Imperial Garden, the two accompanied Cheng'an to the deer park to feed the deer and the lamb Yuanyuan that was raised nearby.

"Yo Yo~"

"Mee~"

The little guy was imitating the call of a deer, then the bleat of a sheep, and was having so much fun.

In addition to the deer garden, the Imperial Garden also has a crane circle, which symbolizes the coexistence of deer and cranes in spring.

Cheng'an had eaten venison and mutton, but had never eaten crane.

When he got near the crane enclosure, he couldn't help but point at the crane and ask, "Is this delicious?"

Yinreng thought this was a really good question, and patted his head and jokingly said, "How about having someone make one for you to try?"

I wonder if the cranes in the circle, which were originally quite quiet, noticed something.

, suddenly it spread its wings and started moving, its posture looked a bit like dancing, which was pleasing to the eye.

After seeing this, the little guy finally shook his head and said, "An An doesn't want to eat~"

After saying this, he probably thought it was interesting and opened his arms to imitate.

When Yinreng saw his actions, the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.

Not only him, but Yinzhi also showed a smile on his face.

The Imperial Garden is neither big nor small. After the little guy ran up and down and played for a while, he was tired when he went back and opened his little hands to ask for someone to hold him.

Yinzhi picked him up before Yinreng did. He was still talking to him in the previous second, but in the next second he leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes.

"Fell asleep already..." There was a hint of amusement in Yinzhi's voice.

Yinreng was not surprised, after all, he had discovered this situation before.

When they returned to Xian'an Palace and put the little guy on the Luohan bed to let him sleep well, without him as a lubricant in the middle, the relationship between Yinzhi and Yinreng suddenly became quiet and a little awkward.

After a moment, Yinzhi was the first to speak: "Do you have any wine?"

Yinreng thought he would leave immediately, but he didn't expect that he would still want to drink here. He could not help but glance at him indifferently, wondering how could he have the nerve to do that.

But in the end, Yinreng still asked someone to bring some wine.

The palace maid brought the wine and then left immediately.

Yinzhi picked up the wine jug and drank several cups of wine. Suddenly he looked up at Yinreng and said with a smile: "You must be laughing at me in your heart now."

Without waiting for Yinreng to speak, he drank another glass of wine and continued, "I actually know that I am not fit to be a crown prince..."

When Yinreng heard this, he felt that he actually had self-awareness.

Perhaps seeing this from his face, Yinzhi sneered and said, "But I want to compete with you. It's because you always look so high and mighty and look down on others. I want to pull you down..."

If Yinreng had heard this before he was imprisoned, he would probably have been so angry that he would have drawn his sword and killed him, but this time his reaction was very cold.

Yinzhi noticed the expression on his face, and suddenly felt that it was boring, and his tone began to change from high to low: "I did succeed in pulling you down, but unfortunately... To be honest, compared to being a prince, I might be more suitable to be a general."

Maybe people are like this. They don't know how to cherish what they have, but start to regret it after they lose it.

When Yinreng heard this, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure? Could it be that you have forgotten for twenty-nine years?"

He was talking about the time when Yinzhi joined Prince Yu Fuquan in the campaign against Galdan, but ended up betraying Fuquan.

When Yinzhi heard him mention this, he couldn't help but glare at him and said defensively: "It wasn't entirely my fault that time!"

It had been so long since the incident, Fuquan was no longer alive, and Yinreng was too lazy to argue with him about right and wrong.

Yinzhi probably had too many things in his heart that he had no one to talk to, and under the influence of alcohol, he became more and more excited in talking to Yinreng, his former rival.

"Do you remember that time..."

Yinreng thought that he had developed a calm mind after being deposed and imprisoned, but he didn't expect that when he heard him repeatedly mention the events of those years, he couldn't help but get angry.

This is normal, everyone gets angry. He is just an ordinary person after all, how could he not get angry, especially when he hears people constantly mentioning the previous plots against him.

So originally it was Yinzhi who vented his emotions unilaterally, and then Yinreng also talked about what happened in the past.

In the years before and after Yinreng was deposed, there were constant undercurrents in the court and the harem.

"Okay, it turned out to be you who planned it that time!" Yinzhi was still very angry when he heard him admit in person that it was he who planned it once, even though he had guessed it a long time ago.

Yinreng glanced at him calmly: "You can only blame yourself for being stupid."

"Then was it you the next time as well?" Yinzhi said, slapping the table.

The time when he admitted it, Yinzhi was able to find some clues, but when he was plotted against later, Yinzhi was completely clueless.

He didn't find anything and was scolded and punished by Kangxi for no reason.

"Speak softly, don't wake Cheng'an." Seeing him so excited, Yinreng subconsciously turned his head to look towards the inner hall.

From where Yinreng was sitting he could just see the Luohan bed inside, and he felt relieved only when he saw the little guy was still sleeping soundly.

"Don't change the subject!" Although he said so, Yinzhi's voice still lowered unconsciously, "Is it you?"

"no."

After Yinreng finished speaking, he saw that he didn't believe him and looked at him as if he was a fool.

"What's that look in your eyes?" Yinzhi said unhappily, "Who else could it be but you!"

It was true that he was not the only one with such ambitions, but no matter who wanted to take the throne, the first thing he had to do was to remove Yinreng from the position of crown prince, so Yinzhi did not think that apart from Yinreng, anyone else would be stupid enough to deal with him first.

The incident they were talking about was one in which Yinzhi's subordinates caused a big mess, which was then reported to Kangxi, leading to Yinzhi being punished.

"Have you ever considered that the people under you are not clean?" Yinreng saw that he still felt that he had tricked him that time, and thought that with his brain, there was no way he could get to the top.

Yinreng really didn't get involved in that incident. It was Yinzhi who recruited people without much scrutiny and dared to accept anyone, which caused trouble. By the time he found out about it, the news had already reached Kangxi's ears. Otherwise, he would definitely have added fuel to the fire and made Yinzhi pay.

Yinzhi naturally did not want to believe that it was his own problem, even though he was determined to bring down Yinreng at that time and did not refuse any officials who came to him for help.

But he also knew that at this point, there was no need for Yinreng to lie to him.

Yinzhi opened his mouth, but ultimately stopped questioning and started drinking again.

After two more glasses of wine, he spoke again, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "What did we fight like that for in the first place..."

The days of confinement were boring, but they could also calm people down. As early as the second year of confinement, Yinzhi felt a little regretful. After all, even if he did not fight for it, he was still a prince. Except for a few select few in the world, everyone who saw him had to bow their heads and salute.

But in the final analysis, thinking that there are higher positions above, he would feel guilty if he didn't fight for it. After all, they are brothers, and Yinreng is younger than him. Why should he pay tribute to the other party?

"You should ask yourself, it is you who wants to compete with me." After saying this, Yinreng also picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

“Hahahaha…” Yinzhi suddenly laughed when he heard this, “You were born a prince, how can you understand my feelings!”

Yinreng lowered his eyes and said, "Same here."

Hearing the deep meaning in his tone, Yinzhi couldn't help but look at him.

Yinreng didn't want to explain it too clearly. After all, it felt a bit stupid to tell his true feelings to his former mortal enemy.

But under his gaze, Yinreng couldn't help but speak: "You can still choose to fight or not, but when will I have the opportunity to choose?"

Yinzhi wanted to say something after hearing this, but finally fell silent.

Neither of them spoke after that, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward.

"Brother is drinking?"

When a babyish voice came from behind, the two people at the table, one holding a wine jug and the other holding a wine glass, their first reaction was to hide what they were holding, otherwise the little one would definitely ask for a drink again.

Being interrupted by the little guy who woke up at some point, all the emotions that the two had when recalling the past were instantly swept away.

Yinreng was fine, he managed to calm down in the end and chose to drink the wine in the cup, but Yinzhi threw the wine pot in his hand out the door and denied it, "I didn't drink it, I just checked if the wine was bad, and it was indeed bad, I can't drink it."

Cheng'an originally wanted to ask his brother to give him a sip of wine, but he didn't expect Da Ge to throw the wine jug away and immediately climb along his legs into his arms.

"Why didn't you call for help after waking up?" Yinzhi said, touching his head.

The two of them could see inside from where they were sitting, so they didn't keep anyone inside. But they didn't expect that they would suddenly start chatting and ended up ignoring him for a while.

"Brother Da smells of alcohol!" The little guy didn't answer him, but said after sniffing.

Seeing that he was becoming increasingly difficult to fool, Yinzhi could not help but look at Yinreng next to him.

Yinreng didn't notice the look he was giving him, but looked at the shoes on the kid's feet that were worn backwards, and said with a smile: "Cheng'an can put on his shoes by himself, that's really amazing."

Hearing the compliment, Cheng An temporarily forgot about the smell of alcohol, lifted his feet and said in a baby voice: "An An knows how to wear shoes~"

Yinzhi found it a little funny to see him wearing his shoes backwards, so he pinched his feet and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"No~" The little guy didn't know why he asked that and shook his head.

In the end, Yinzhi and Yinreng helped him take off his shoes and taught him how to put them on.

It was already late outside. After the two of them played with the little guy for a while, Yinzhi prepared to send the little guy back to the Qianqing Palace and leave the palace at the same time.

Since he was accompanying them on the way, Yinreng just sent the two of them to the gate of Xian'an Palace.

"Second brother An An will come to play with you tomorrow~" The little guy put one arm around Yinzhi's neck and waved at Yinreng with the other hand.

Yinzhi looked at the bright smile of the little guy in his arms and suddenly felt a little envious, envious that he could smile so happily every day.

"Okay." Yinreng nodded slightly and watched him being carried away by Yinzhi before turning around.

On the way back to the Qianqing Palace.

Cheng An woke up feeling refreshed after a good sleep. He kept talking as soon as he came out of Xian'an Palace: "Brother Da, look, the sky is red~"

Yinzhi looked up and saw the sun setting in the west, dyeing the sky red.

"Brother, it looks like a mooncake~"

Seeing that he looked at everything as if it were food, Yinzhi's lips curled up a little.

"Brother An An misses you~"

He had said this when they met, and when he said it again, Yinzhi nodded to show that he understood.

The little guy was a little dissatisfied when he saw him nod, so he held his face with his hands and asked in a baby voice: "Brother Da, do you miss An An?"

Yinzhi realized belatedly what he meant and deliberately kept silent.

"Brother Da said he missed it!" Cheng An taught with a frown.

Yinzhi was amused by him and thought that this little guy was really interesting. There was no one like him.

"Brother Da, what are you laughing at?" the little fellow asked with puffed cheeks.

"Nothing to laugh at." Yinzhi shook his head and rubbed the lively treasure in his arms, saying with a smile, "Brother Da misses An An."

Cheng An was finally satisfied after hearing this. He hugged his neck and kissed him on the face, then leaned his little head on his shoulder and said, "Brother Da, come if you want An An~"

"Okay, I got it, big brother." Yinzhi looked down at the little guy leaning against him with a look of dependence, and suddenly felt that it was good like this...

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

When the little guy was brought over, Kangxi was still busy, so he ran outside to play on the swing for a while.

It was already autumn and it was still a bit chilly after the sun went down, so Liu Cai quickly took out his cloak and covered him with it.

Not to mention, compared to ordinary swings, the one Yin'e gave him is much more convenient. He can lie in it and play while wrapped in a cloak.

Just when the little guy was about to fall asleep in the swing again, Kangxi finally finished his work and came out personally to call him in for dinner.

The little guy can now eat by himself with a spoon, but Kangxi still feeds him a few bites from time to time during a meal.

After dinner, when the father and son were sitting on the Luohan bed to rest, the little guy suddenly remembered what happened in the afternoon and couldn't help but said, "Ama, brother is drinking!"

Kangxi was flipping through the book in his hand and didn't take it seriously, and responded casually.

"Ah!"

Seeing that he didn't listen to him, the little guy reached out to cover his book.

"Father heard it. So what if they drank?" Kangxi said helplessly.

"Go to sleep, brother is drinking!"

Kangxi finally understood what he meant, and he immediately joked, "What do you want to do?"

How about letting Ama beat them up for you? "

"Don't hit your brother!" Cheng An immediately shook his head.

Kangxi pulled down his hand that was covering his book and said, "Then what do you want to say to me?"

"An An wants to drink." The little guy said, looking up.

Kangxi chuckled, poked his forehead and said, "It's too early for you to drink."

The little guy was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and he clasped his hands in front of him and snorted.

Who do you learn from every day?

Kangxi looked at his actions and muttered something in his mind, then turned to Liang Jiugong and gave him a few instructions.

After a while, Liang Jiugong came over with a wine jug.

Of course, the wine pot did not contain wine, but milk. After Liang Jiugong put it on the small table on Luohan's bed, Kangxi said to the little guy with bright eyes: "Mare's milk, drink it quickly."

I don’t know if he really thought it was kumis after being successfully fooled once, or if he simply thought it was fun to drink milk from a wine jug or wine glass. Anyway, the little guy drank it happily and even invited Kangxi to drink with him.

Kangxi didn't want to end up drinking milk like him, so he let him drink it by himself.

"Go ahead~"

Seeing that he was drinking by himself and toasting with his left and right hands, Kangxi shook his head slightly.
