Chapter 160 Hair
In the afternoon at Jingren Palace, the warm sunlight spread across the ground, as if covering the palace bricks with a layer of golden gauze.
Yinzhi, Yinzhi, and Changquan, the three little devils, crouched down like thieves and sneaked in from the corner of the wall.
They were all princes, and none of the guards at the palace gates or the palace servants coming and going could be offended. Once the news got in, everyone could only pretend to be blind, as if they hadn't seen anything.
"I told you, no one can match my ability to hide."
Yinzhi was extremely pleased with himself for successfully sneaking in, but Changquan tugged at him anxiously: "Keep your voice down, or you'll get caught."
"Look... mmm..."
Yin Zhi wanted to say that there was no need to be so sneaky when looking at his little monster brother, couldn't he just go in directly? But Yin Zhi, who felt particularly excited about "doing something bad," covered his mouth.
"Shh, Changquan is right, let's keep it quiet."
Yin Zhi opened his mouth, but then thought, "Well, they're all older than me, they must have their reasons for doing this."
"Squat down, squat down, Brother Baocheng!"
They slipped to the edge of the flower bushes, and Changquan was the first to see Baocheng. He quickly pulled the two of them down to squat down.
Soon, through the flower branches, three pairs of bright, sparkling eyes stared intently at the scene in the courtyard. They saw Bao Cheng squatting there, his face full of tenderness, teasing the infant Yinzhen, who was not yet a year old.
Little Yinzhen sat on the soft brocade cushion, waving his little hands in the air and making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds. He was often amused by Baocheng and would giggle. Occasionally, he would utter the word "brother," and Baocheng would clap applause for him. He would become even more excited and dance around, calling out to his brother.
Beside him, the clever crow Xiao Wu circled once in the low sky, then landed, tilting its head and staring intently at Xiao Yinzhen with its black bean-like eyes. It would hop a couple of steps every now and then, as if it wanted to join in the fun.
Little Peacock Six was even more smug, its colorful tail swaying as if showing off, swaying with small, quick steps to the side.
"Cluck cluck cluck, like an old hen." Yinzhi's tone was sour; he couldn't stand Yinzhen no matter how he looked at him.
“Brother Baocheng really likes him…” Changquan had always known that Xiaowu and Xiaoliu only listened to Brother Baocheng. Now, seeing the two little ones playing around, he couldn’t help but feel jealous.
“Little brother…” There’s nothing special about him. After looking closely, he sees that he has two eyes and a nose. He’s not a little monster. Yin Zhi was a little disappointed.
Yinzhi glared at him, annoyed. "Which side are you from? You're already calling me 'brother'?"
The voice was a bit loud, which startled Bao Cheng in the courtyard.
Looking at the three small figures that couldn't be hidden by the shadows of the trees and flowers, Bao Cheng smiled and waved: "Brother, Changquan, Yinzhi, why didn't you say anything when you arrived?"
They were discovered, and the three of them suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They pushed each other, and in the end, Xiao Yinzhi was pushed to the front to walk out.
"Isn't it Yinzhi who wanted to see you? So we brought him along."
“That’s right, Yinzhi was in a hurry, so we came.”
"I..." He inexplicably became the mastermind, but it seemed that it was indeed his suggestion. Yin Zhi was thus unwittingly blamed. Before he could finish speaking, Yin Zhi pushed him again.
"You were looking for Bao Cheng, aren't you happy now?"
Are you just taking advantage of him because he speaks slowly?
Once he realized what was happening, Yinzhi frowned and glared at the two of them. He then turned around and ran to Baocheng's side. He glanced at Yinzhen, who was not a little monster, and stood in front of him, tugging at Baocheng's sleeve.
"Brother... I want to... but I can't find it."
"Yinzhi misses his brother, but can't find him, right?" Baocheng stroked his head, clearly understanding the meaning from the few words he uttered.
Yinzhi ate sweetly, holding onto Baocheng's hand tightly, while making sure to block Yinzhen completely.
While playing with his older brother, little Yinzhen was suddenly blocked by a stranger. Unable to see his brother, little Yinzhen immediately pouted and pushed him hard. Without being taught, he suddenly knew how to say "go".
"Brother...go...go..."
Yin Zhi pretended not to hear. They weren't little monsters, so why should they steal his elder brother, the Crown Prince?
Yinzhi and Changquan also came over, surrounding Baocheng in the middle, talking all at once, mainly trying to prevent Yinzhen from showing his face.
Not only could the people in front not push him, but a dark mass of figures appeared on his left and right, completely blocking his view. He couldn't even see his older brother. Little Yinzhen couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Hearing the commotion, Bao Cheng quickly stepped out from the encirclement. "What happened to Yinzhen?"
"Waaaaah, brother..."
Little Yinzhen, with large tears still clinging to his eyes, pitifully reached out to Baocheng. Baocheng immediately pulled him into his arms, gently coaxing him, "It's alright, brother's here..."
The three people next to Yinzhi were extremely jealous, and their expressions towards Yinzhen were particularly unfriendly.
Little Yinzhen nestled his chubby little face against his brother's shoulder, looking quite happy. But when he saw the three people who had just blocked his way, he couldn't help but point at them with his little finger, muttering, "Go...go..."
"Who do you think you can kick out? I'm not leaving!"
Yinzhi hadn't intended to stay any longer, but after Yinzhen pointed, he didn't want to leave anymore. He plopped down on a chair nearby, and Changquan and Yinzhi followed suit, sitting down and grinning smugly at Yinzhen, refusing to leave.
The young Yinzhen was so angry that his face turned red. He stubbornly pointed at them, babbling incoherently as if he were complaining. The only clear word he uttered was "go".
Bao Cheng quickly pulled his little hand back, "Alright, Yinzhen, don't be angry. These are your older brothers. They came to see Yinzhen, you know?"
"elder brother……"
Little Yinzhen only understood the word "brother" and called out to Baocheng. He completely ignored all other advice, burying his face in Baocheng's shoulder and ignoring everyone else, acting like a sulky little dumpling.
Yinzhi, unconvinced, couldn't help but ask, "Baocheng, what exactly do you like about him?"
Changquan and Yinzhi also looked at him with pleading and aggrieved expressions.
How should I put it? Do they see potential in the future "King of Scrolls"?
Gently stroking Yinzhen's head, feeling the soft, furry texture under his hand, Bao Cheng's eyes flashed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he softly said, "Since brother asked, then I'll just tell you the truth..."
The three of them sat up straight instantly, intently awaiting Bao Cheng's answer.
"I really like Yinzhen's beautiful black hair, which feels nice to the touch."
"hair?!"
The three were shocked. Who would have thought this kid would be favored because of his hair? Does that make sense?
They looked at Yinzhen's hair, which hadn't been shaved since he was under one year old, and then at each other's half-bald hairstyles, and suddenly fell silent, which seemed quite reasonable.
Yin Zhi immediately pouted, his eyes reddening as he cried out, "Yin Zhi... ugly... bald... waaaah..."
Little Yinzhen turned his head slightly. Who was it? Who was imitating him by crying to attract his brother's attention?
Seeing Yinzhi crying about his own ugliness, he indeed attracted his brother's attention, which led to him being handed over to the nanny. Meanwhile, Yinzhi was comforted by his brother. Yinzhen unilaterally formed a grudge against him, declaring that the hatred of taking away his brother was irreconcilable!
"So, it's because of the hair?"
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Having deliberately sent his three children to gather information, Emperor Kangxi, upon learning the reason why his beloved son liked Yinzhen, subconsciously touched his own hair, his expression instantly crumbling. "Is he ugly?"
