After getting enough sleep, little Yinzuo immediately made a "humming" sound to remind the wet nurse who was taking care of him that he was hungry and it was time to feed him.

As soon as Depin knew he had woken up, she asked someone to carry him over.

"Just now, your father ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send several pots of chrysanthemums in full bloom. Mother thought that Xiaoliu had never seen them before, so she brought you here to have a look. These yellow, purple, and white ones, do you like them?"

Little Yinzuo naturally liked it. He liked things that were fresh and full of life. He even stretched out his little hand towards the colorful chrysanthemums.

"It seems that Xiaoliu really likes these chrysanthemums. Can I pick one for you to play with?"

Little Yinzuo was held by his wet nurse, so Rouwan personally picked a flower that was neither too big nor too small but in perfect bloom, cut it with scissors, and held it in front of the little guy to tease him.

The scent of chrysanthemums is relatively light, so little Yinzuo would not feel uncomfortable smelling it. The mother and son, one reached out to grab them while the other held them up to tease him. It was a warm and lively scene.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

It wasn't even evening yet, but the emperor had already arrived. Rouwan was a little surprised, but she didn't hesitate at all when she saluted.

Kangxi went forward and helped her up. Seeing that she was holding chrysanthemums in her hands, he smiled and said, "Today is a beautiful spring day. I saw that the chrysanthemums sent by the flower house are blooming beautifully under the sun, so I asked someone to send some to you. I hope you like them."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Not only does I like it, Xiaoliu also likes it very much. Just now, I plucked this chrysanthemum and held it in my hand to tease him. He laughed so happily and kept wanting to reach out and grab it."

"Really? Let me try."

Little Yinzuo, who was listening at the side, sighed in his heart. His mother was trying to trick her son. His father was teasing him, but he had to work hard to deal with him. Not only did he become a child laborer, but he also didn't get paid. He really had no motivation.

While reaching out to take the chrysanthemum from his cheap father's hand, little Yinzuo couldn't stop complaining in his heart, but suddenly, something sparkling under the sun caught his eyes, and little Yinzuo's heart moved.

At this time, Kangxi used the same trick again and put the chrysanthemum in his left hand close to the little guy. The little guy really reached out to grab it. Kangxi raised the corner of his mouth and quickly threw the chrysanthemum in his hand into his other hand.

However, this time Kangxi did not see the frustrated expression he wanted to see on the little guy's face. He only saw little Yinzuo grinning, and his two little hands grabbed his left hand that was holding the flower, and held his hand tightly in his arms.

Kangxi was stunned. What was going on?

Rouwan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, saying, "It seems that Xiaoliu doesn't want flowers anymore, but wants his royal father instead."

In fact, Xiao Yinzuo himself scoffed at this. Why did he want to take advantage of his father's hand? It was useless and could not be eaten. He was attracted by the ring on his hand. That was what Xiao Yinzuo thought unilaterally. It was the reward he deserved after taking advantage of his father and making him happy.

After a few shaky movements and efforts, his two little hands finally held the ring firmly. Of course, in Kangxi's view, the little guy was very close to him and insisted on holding his thumb.

"This little guy likes me so much, he insists on hugging me. What should I do?"

"It's naturally due to the natural instincts of father and son. Xiaoliu is particularly close to you, Your Majesty. I will just find something to replace it for him to hold."

After saying this, Rouwan was about to ask the palace maid to get something from her dressing table, but Kangxi raised his hand to stop her.

"There's no need to go to so much trouble. Xiaoliu just likes me as his father. I heard from the imperial physician that children recognize people by smell. I have a jade pendant around my waist that I always wear, so I gave it to this little guy to prevent him from missing me and I'm not by his side, which would make him unhappy." Kangxi rarely showed a fatherly heart.

"But this is your beloved thing, Your Majesty. Xiaoliu is still young, so I'd better ask them to get something else."

Kangxi held her hand and smiled, saying, "I have several jade pendants like this in my storehouse. Since Xiaoliu likes it, why not give it to him? Don't let him know that you, as his mother, are partial to me and think that you don't love him."

Since the emperor has said so, Rouwan can no longer refuse. Otherwise, she would be ignorant of what is good for her. She is afraid that it would make the emperor angry, which would be bad.

After getting a jade pendant of excellent quality and workmanship, little Yinzuo suddenly felt that smiling was not that difficult. He was willing to buy more smiles in front of his cheap father, as long as he didn't pay himself less.

Little Yinzuo thought about it and thought, no, no! How can showing a smile in front of his father be called selling smiles? This is called showing filial piety.

In the future, he will definitely show his filial piety to the Emperor often.

"Look how happy he is." Kangxi said with a smile and shook his head.

Rouwan looked at the royal father and son in front of her with a gentle smile and said nothing.

"Today is your birthday. I have prepared some clothes and jewelry for you. You have just come out of confinement, so it is time to dress up. I like to see you after you put on makeup."

"Then Your Majesty doesn't like me when I'm not wearing makeup?" Rouwan said coquettishly.

"How could that be? My Rouwan is a lotus without any makeup, and a beautiful crabapple with a little makeup. They each have their own beauty, and I like them both."

Little Yinzuo shuddered when he heard these words, but he extracted a key point from it. It turned out that today was his mother's birthday. However, he was just a baby who could not speak and had difficulty moving. How could he give his mother a birthday gift?

As he was thinking, his eyes fell on the new jade pendant in his hand.

Isn’t this ready-made?

Just as rewards were flowing towards Rouwan, little Yinzuo made a move. He looked at his mother and waved his little hands.

After successfully attracting his mother's attention, he pushed the jade pendant in his hand forward. Even Kangxi could see what the little guy meant.

"Look, is he going to give the jade pendant I just gave him to Concubine De?" Kangxi showed a rare expression of surprise.

"Liang Jiugong, tell me."

The emperor's personal steward smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, I think it's possible that the young prince heard the emperor and the queen mention that today is the queen's birthday, and the young prince is celebrating for his mother."

Of course, he didn't think so in his heart, but this was the least likely way to make a mistake.

Children are always in a state of impulse. They may lose interest in something they liked a moment ago in the blink of an eye. Even if it is the emperor's favorite thing, if he really says it as he said, he will probably be in trouble.

"This clever little boy is so young, but he already knows how to take advantage of others. He even took the jade pendant I gave him to please his mother. He is worthy of being my son. He has been very smart since he was young." Kangxi smiled and was not angry.

Little Yinzuo was even happier when he heard his adopted father praising him. This father was great that he wasn't even angry. He could do this more often in the future. He didn't know what month his brother's birthday was, so if he also gave him a jade pendant as a gift, it would seem a bit simple.

If he starts saving from now on, and takes advantage of the situation every time his father comes, and saves for a few months, this birthday gift will probably be very good.

When little Yinzuo thought about this, his eyes lit up, and he felt that his idea was great!

Kangxi, who was completely unaware of this, suddenly felt a chill on his back and shuddered.

"What's wrong with the emperor?" Rouwan asked with concern.

"It's a cool evening, so let's go inside and talk so that Xiaoliu won't get caught in the wind."

The family of three just entered the palace. By this time, it was time for dinner. The Emperor's father and mother were about to have their meal, and little Yinzuo also had to eat his rations.

After they had all eaten their fill, little Yinzuo was not taken to his mother's bedroom. He knew that it was inappropriate for a child like him to be there at a time like this. Under the moon and flowers, with beautiful women by her side, if he went there, he would be disliked.

So, it’s better to go to bed early.

On the second day, the imperial court sent another reward to Yonghe Palace.

"Madam Depin, the emperor said that the jade pendant was given to the Sixth Prince to play with. However, the Sixth Prince is filial and wanted to give you a birthday gift, but he is too young, so the emperor gave it to you on your behalf. Please take a look at it."

Little Yinzuo was also here at this moment, and he immediately grinned. His cheap father was really rich, but he treated him quite well. He could remember all the little things that happened yesterday, and he even sent someone to deliver something over today. He accepted this father!

From now on, no matter how you call him cheap father, you should call him emperor father sincerely.

Rouwan opened the brocade box and saw an orchid-shaped pendant used by women.

"Thank the Emperor on my behalf."

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say. Tonight the Emperor asked you to sleep with him in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Your Majesty has been favored for three consecutive days. You are so blessed."

"Thank you, eunuch." After saying this, Rouwan signaled Aunt Qing to give her a tip.

The father-in-law, who had benefited, smiled even more brightly.

However, little Yinzuo sighed in his heart and looked listless. His mother was going to the Qianqing Palace, which meant that his father would not come to the Yonghe Palace. If he did not come to the Yonghe Palace, he would not be able to see him.

I can’t see him and I can’t get any benefits from him. I still haven’t saved up enough to buy the first birthday present for my brother. I still have a long way to go!

Since he was born, the Emperor's father has only come to Yonghe Palace three times. His success rate is only one-third, which is really too low. He must continue to work hard! He must seize every opportunity and succeed in getting something every time he sees the Emperor's father. Only in this way can he save enough things.

"What are you thinking about? At such a young age, you love to think more than your mother."

Little Yinzuo cannot speak. If he could speak, he would definitely tell his mother: My son is thinking about how to make money.

It rained the night that Depin went to the emperor's bedchamber, and it was also very windy that night. Little Yinzuo fell ill early the next morning, and he was running a fever and confused, which made Depin very anxious.

She didn't dare leave day or night and kept watch over him. Even when she slept, she just took a nap leaning against the bed and would wake up at the slightest noise.

Little Yinzuo felt dizzy, his whole body was spinning, his eyes were blurry and he couldn't see clearly, and he felt hot and cold at times. In that era, there were no antibiotics, only bitter traditional Chinese medicine.

Little Yinzuo hated drinking Chinese medicine. In his previous life, he would only drink it after his brother coaxed him in a gentle manner. Now that his brother was gone, he would subconsciously spit it out even if he drank it. He wanted his brother...

The adults did not understand the baby's crying, and in the end the wet nurse had to force the baby to drink the milk.

This situation continued for seven whole days. During this period, Kangxi came to see him once, but little Yinzuo really did not have the energy to deal with him. He looked listless and did not look very well.

No one mentioned the matter of the Sixth Prince moving to another palace after his full moon. Almost everyone thought that the Sixth Prince might not survive.

Even the imperial concubine mentioned this matter while hugging the Fourth Prince.

"Xiao Si, do you still remember the little Yinzuo you met a few days ago?"

Little Yinzhen nodded. He naturally remembered that the little guy was very likable, loved to laugh, and was very cute and fair-skinned.

"I'm afraid your sixth brother is in trouble." The imperial concubine sighed, feeling a little regretful. She quite liked the child.

Little Yinzhen was a little surprised, but he remembered that Xiaoliu died of illness when he was six years old. This shouldn't be the case as he is only one month old now.

"Later, Xiao Si, come with me to visit your sixth brother, okay?" After all, they are brothers, and it is worth visiting them at least once.

"Okay." Although little Yinzhen still felt that Xiaoliu would be fine, it wouldn't take much effort to go and take a look, so he just went.

The author has something to say:

Our Xiaoliu is not greedy for money, he just wants to use the treasure to make his brother happy~
