Wanwan knew that her son was always smart, but she couldn't say it out loud, especially when he was with his brothers. If others heard it, there would inevitably be a lot of gossip.
Wanwan said, "Alright, Mother knows about this, but you can't just say things like this casually in the future, especially not directly to your older brother, understand? Otherwise, your older brother will be upset."
Yinyu said, "Mother, don't worry, I know."
Wanwan said, "It's good that you know."
Wanwan: "By the way, are you still hungry? Although you've already eaten, nothing tastes as good as what Mother makes in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Yinyu's eyes immediately lit up. "Mother, I'm still not full. The food in Yuqing Palace is nowhere near as good as what you have here."
Wanwan said, "Tingfeng, go to the small kitchen and get some pastries, including hibiscus cake. Remember to bring them."
The wind whispers, "Yes."
Yinyu listened to his mother's instructions and continued to hug her neck, saying, "Mother, you are the best."
Wanwan said, "Oh, so you mean your second and fourth brothers are bad?" Wanwan was teasing him. Children are clever, how could they be smarter than adults?
So when Yinyu heard this, he immediately retorted, "Second brother and fourth brother are good, but Mother is still the best."
Yinyu then proceeded to act all cute and affectionate towards his mother.
However, Wanwan didn't take these words seriously. But how could she not be happy to hear her son say that, even if she knew whether her son was speaking human language or nonsense?
A short while later, Tingfeng brought in the pastries. Wanwan looked at her son's eyes shining and felt she couldn't bear to look at him.
They didn't lack food or clothing; even when they weren't in Jingren Palace, they were still given things every few days.
As soon as the pastries were placed on the table, Yinyu immediately began to eat them.
But when Wanwan saw him like that, she immediately patted his little hand.
Wanwan: "What did your mother tell you? Have you forgotten?"
Yinyu said, “My mother said that you must wash your hands before eating. Even if you can’t wash your hands, you should wipe them with a wet cloth.”
Wanwan: "Have you forgotten? Have you washed your hands while eating these past few days?"
Seeing her son's behavior, Wanwan couldn't help but worry whether he washed his hands before eating.
Especially nowadays, children have weaker immune systems. Even if she or the child has a good constitution, it's always best to be careful and cautious.
Moreover, this is also a good habit.
Upon hearing this, Yinyu immediately replied, "Mother, don't worry. I will definitely wash my hands before eating with my second and fourth brothers. The three of us wash our hands together."
Wanwan said, "That's good. Once you've formed this habit, you should do it this way."
Yinyu: "My son knows."
As Wanwan said this, she took the handkerchief that Tingyu handed her and wiped her son's little hands.
After wiping it clean, he said, "Now we can eat it."
Yinyu immediately reached for the hibiscus cake, but after picking up the first piece, he didn't put it in his own mouth. Instead, he put it near his mother's mouth.
Yinyu said, "Mother, eat first. This Hibiscus Master is my favorite."
Wanwan didn't refuse her son's kindness and took a small bite.
"It really is delicious," Wanwan said, taking the food from her son's hand and finishing it in two bites.
As for Yinyu, the moment his mother took it, he immediately grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth.
After putting it in his mouth, he showed a look of enjoyment, especially his little eyes, which were almost squinted together. The more Wanwan looked at him, the more she liked her son.
This heartwarming scene was also witnessed by Emperor Kangxi outside the door.
