When Yinzhi, Yinzhen and others received the news that the little guy had returned to the palace and hurried over, they ran into Yinreng and three others coming out of the palace.
"Myna..."
As soon as Yin'e stepped out of the palace gate, he couldn't help rubbing his knees with a grimace. When he raised his eyes and saw them coming, he immediately called out to his brother who had the best relationship with him except Yin'e.
However, although Yinsi, who was always very kind to others, had a gentle expression on his face, there was no smile on his face. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with him for causing the little guy to fly to the West.
At first, the princes didn’t know that the little guy had flown to the West. It was only later when Yinzhen thought that they must be worried too, so he sent them a letter. Then the princes realized that the situation was more dangerous than they thought.
Even someone as good-tempered as Yinsi had a problem with Yin'e, let alone others. The look in Yinzhen's eyes when he looked at him was as cold as ice.
"Yin'e, Yin'e, what can I say about you?" Yinzhi raised his hand and pointed at him.
Yinqi and the others also had unhappy expressions, but they were concerned that this was the Palace of Heavenly Purity, so they didn't know what to say.
Everyone can see how much the princes dote on the little guy. Considering that he had been stranded in the West at such a young age and had suffered so much, it would be strange that they would treat Yin'e well.
"The Emperor has already punished me..." Yin'e said weakly when he saw that they were looking at him unfriendlyly.
The princes were all thinking about the little guy, and finally they all turned their attention away and went to the door to ask to see Kangxi.
But from the fact that they looked at Yin'e coldly just now, and then walked past him without even glancing at him, it can be seen that Yin'e has really aroused public anger this time.
Inside the palace.
Kangxi heard the announcement from the door and guessed who they were here for. Thinking of how worried they had been these days, he couldn't help but poke the little guy's forehead after agreeing: "Look at you, you've made so many people worry!"
"Daddy, be good. Don't be angry anymore." The little guy tilted his head back, then immediately patted his chest and coaxed him in a baby voice.
Kangxi snorted coldly: "Don't think I can let you go just like this, you should copy books for me too."
"What do you mean by copying a book? An An doesn't know how to..."
"If you don't know how to do it, write each character you learned to me a hundred times." Kangxi felt that he had to teach him a lesson, otherwise who would be able to bear it if it happened again next time.
While the father and son were talking, Yinzhi and others came in and paid their respects to Kangxi.
"elder brother!"
As soon as Kangxi stopped greeting, Cheng'an, who hadn't seen his brothers for a long time, climbed down from his arms.
"An An misses you guys so much!" The little guy rushed over and hugged Yin Zhi who was closest to him.
During the days when he disappeared, Yinzhi was extremely anxious. He even drew many portraits himself and sent everyone in the mansion out to look for him.
Now that he finally saw him, Yinzhi didn't care that he was in front of Kangxi and reached out to pick him up.
"Tell me, how can you be so brave!"
When Yinzhi hugged him and talked, Yinzhen subconsciously moved closer to him. When he saw the little guy's still red eyes and seemingly thinner face, he felt that the emperor should teach him a lesson, but also felt a little distressed.
"Fourth Brother..."
The little guy was lying on Yinzhi's shoulder and saw Yinzhen reaching out to him again.
Yinzhen raised his hand, and he immediately held it tightly, saying in a childish voice: "An An misses you so much..."
Hearing this, Yinqi and the others couldn't help but come over, and the little guy looked at his brothers one by one to express his longing for them.
"Okay, everyone sit down."
When Kangxi saw them gathered together to show concern for his youngest son, he felt very relieved and ordered someone to give him a seat.
"Thank you, Father Emperor."
After the princes thanked the emperor and sat down, they realized that they were in front of the emperor and immediately became quiet.
Fortunately, the little guy saw his brothers and had a lot to say. He looked up and said, "An An went to Tibet to see Da Ge and Shisi Ge~"
Thinking that he was planning to fly to Tibet but ended up in the West, and seeing that he dared to say that now, Yinzhi couldn't help but pinch his face and pull it lightly.
Kangxi had just spanked the little guy, but when he saw Yinzhi pulling his little face, he couldn't help but clearing his cough.
When Yinzhi heard this, he immediately withdrew his hand.
The little guy didn't feel anything, and continued: "An An misses his father and his brother. Brother Shi always says he will be back soon, but he takes a long time to come back..."
"Who told you to run so far?" Yinxiang couldn't help but speak after hearing his little complaint.
Cheng An immediately lay on his knees and said obediently, "An An will never run around again!"
"You've lost weight." Yinzhen, who was sitting next to him, saw his cute look and reached out to touch his face.
The little guy didn't care whether he was thin or not, but when he saw his father and brothers saying so, he couldn't help but hold his face with his hands and said, "An An will be chubby if he eats a lot of meat~"
A palace maid waiting nearby couldn't help but lift her eyes secretly. She felt that the little prince's face was clearly chubby now, and it was hard to tell that he was much thinner than before he left.
Yinzhen was not a person who liked to laugh, but when he saw the little girl holding up the flesh on her cheeks with her hands, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that the little guy came back safe and sound, the brother felt relieved and stayed for a while before leaving on his own accord.
Cheng'an followed his brother like a little tail and saw them off to the door. He waved his hand reluctantly and watched them leave. Then he immediately turned around and ran towards Kangxi.
Over the years, Kangxi had become accustomed to showing his majesty in front of his other sons. Now when the little one was the only one left, he subconsciously restrained his aura and looked more like a father than an emperor.
"Ama~"
Without his brother to distract him, the little guy, who missed his father, couldn't help but act like a spoiled child.
Kangxi looked at his little son who was rubbing his little face on his knees, his eyes were soft in a way that he himself didn't even notice.
"Are you hungry?" Kangxi put his hand on his head.
"Hungry!"
The little girl who was about to act coquettishly immediately looked up.
Kangxi had already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare his favorite lunch after returning from court. When he heard that he was hungry, he took him to eat.
Compared with the royal meals on the table, the food in Great Britain pales in comparison in terms of color, aroma and taste.
The little guy couldn't help but stand up from Kangxi's arms when he smelled the fragrance of the imperial meal, and looked like he couldn't wait to crawl onto the table.
"Promising."
Kangxi said so, but seeing that he was so greedy for the imperial meals he was used to eating every day, he felt distressed and directly picked up his chopsticks to pick up his favorite gourd chicken.
“It’s cuckoo chicken!” the little guy said and immediately took a bite. The crispy skin and the tender chicken inside were so delicious that he shook his head.
In the past, when the gourd chicken dish was available, Kangxi would at most give him a chicken leg. But this time, probably because he felt sorry for him for losing weight, after he had munched on the chicken leg with big mouthfuls and kept glancing at the gourd chicken, Kangxi picked up a chicken wing for him.
The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw the chicken wings, and then he rushed over to hug Kangxi and kissed him on the face: "Ama, you are really the best Ama in the world~"
"The oil is all over my face!" Kangxi said with disgust, but from the unconscious upward curve of his lips, one could tell that he felt very happy.
The little guy probably realized that he was not unhappy, so he smiled at him with his eyes curved, then lowered his head to gnaw on the chicken wings.
"That's enough. People who don't know would think I'm being harsh on you." Seeing that he finished eating the meat and still took a few more bites of the bones, Kangxi said with a helpless tone.
It’s not the little guy’s fault, because gourd chicken is a delicious food that is so delicious that it goes to the bones.
The little fellow who had no bones to chew on savored the aftertaste in his mouth and said in a baby voice, "The food at my father's house is so delicious!"
"What Ama's house? Isn't this your home?" Kangxi said dissatisfiedly.
The little guy immediately changed his tone: "The food at An An and Ama's house is so delicious!"
"If you know the food at home is delicious, don't run around anymore. Otherwise, I won't be so nice to you next time." Kangxi warned him as he fed him his favorite dish.
"Got it~"
Seeing that he agreed so quickly, Kangxi waited until he finished the food in his mouth and said, "Don't just know it, but also remember that if you dare to run around again next time, you won't be able to eat at home. I will find a British chef to cook British meals for you."
Britain's food has almost become a psychological shadow for the little guy. When he heard this threat, his eyes widened instantly, and then he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no!"
Kangxi didn't want to disturb him while eating, so he took the opportunity to scold him a few words and then didn't say anything else. Instead, he concentrated on feeding him.
To be honest, the little guy didn't suffer too much during those days in Great Britain. After all, his two older brothers were trying hard to take care of him.
Especially Yinzhen. Although he also liked his younger brother Cheng'an, before he fell into Great Britain, perhaps because he had no chance or because he was reserved, he had never taken care of the little guy personally.
After the little fellow opened his mouth again and ate the meat that was fed to him, he looked at his father in front of him and suddenly smiled with a few small milk teeth showing, and praised: "Father is so great!"
Kangxi couldn't help but raise his eyes after receiving his compliment for no reason: "What's so amazing?"
"You're really good at feeding An An!" The little guy raised his hands and gestured on his face, pointing at the corners of his mouth and chin, and said, "Brother Jiu feeds me here and here."
It wasn’t that Yinzhen couldn’t even find the little guy’s mouth to feed him, but there were no chopsticks in Great Britain, and he had no experience, so he fed him wrongly.
"Be content. If you had only brought your tenth brother that day, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to come back."
Kangxi did not have any opinion on Yinzhen because of his words, but instead said.
"Why?"
"Your tenth brother is unreliable. If you dare to do what he says next time, I will have him beaten with a stick."
He was reluctant to hit the younger one, but he would not feel sorry for hitting the older one, so his tone was serious.
"Don't hit Brother Ten, An An knows!" Cheng An nodded obediently.
In the past, Kangxi would wait until he was about 80% full before stopping him from eating. But today, he waited until he finished eating and then took the initiative to feed him a bowl of soup, obviously thinking that he had lost weight and wanted to give him some nourishment.
The soup carefully stewed by the imperial kitchen tasted so delicious that the little guy naturally wouldn't refuse it and drank it all in one gulp.
After the imperial meal, the little guy acted like his father's little tail and followed him wherever he went.
"Ama, here you go~"
Even when Kangxi sat at the dragon desk and prepared to review memorials, the little guy would consciously climb into his arms and reach out to help him take the memorials.
Although his help actually took up more time, Kangxi did not mind. He even waited for him to get another one for him after he finished reviewing one.
The little guy had accompanied him in handling government affairs many times before, so he was quite experienced. However, he always sat quietly in his arms and played by himself at that time, but now he was helping him.
Maybe he felt that he had helped his father, the little guy smiled as if he had done something great when he took the memorial.
When Kangxi ran out of ink and the eunuch waiting on the side was about to step forward to help grind the ink, Cheng'an hurriedly said, "I'll do it. An'an will help Ama grind the ink!"
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Kangxi asked someone to bring another chair over for him to stand on to grind the ink.
Grinding ink also requires some skills. Kangxi was afraid that he would grind it carelessly, so he taught him step by step before letting him grind the ink himself.
Cheng'an found it quite fun to grind the ink for a while. His two little hands held the ink stick faster and faster.
Kangxi was just about to remind him that one should not be impatient when grinding ink, as it would not be possible to grind the ink properly, when he heard a snap and the ink stick he was holding slipped out of his hand. All the ink in the inkstone splashed out, not only onto the dragon table, but also onto his hands and body.
"It will only make things worse for me! What should I do now?"
Kangxi had actually anticipated that he might not be able to grind the ink properly, so he wasn't really angry, he just said it casually.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the little girl, whose eyes had finally become less red after eating the imperial meal, pursed her lips and suddenly started crying again.
Compared to his previous loud crying, he cried more quietly this time, so much so that Kangxi only reacted when he saw tears in his eyes.
"I just said it casually, why are you crying?" Kangxi felt that he was too easy to cry today, so he quickly reached out and held him in his arms, not caring about getting ink on him.
It would have been fine if he didn't coax her, but once he did, the little one started crying: "Wuwu, An An is making things worse, An An is so bad..."
It wasn't that the little one suddenly became crybaby, but she had somewhat taken to heart what Kangxi had said, so she wanted to behave better and help her father to make him happy. However, she ended up making things worse.
When he cried before, Kangxi felt angry and distressed, but this time he was left with only pure heartache.
"Who said that? My Cheng'an is the best. He helps me at a young age. All your brothers combined are not as filial as Cheng'an." Kangxi coaxed him while wiping his eyes.
Hearing that Ama said that he was the best, the little guy was a little happy, and his crying gradually subsided: "But An An made things worse..."
"Being a hindrance is also helping. Your brothers never even handed me memorials, let alone grinding ink. They are not as obedient as Cheng'an."
When Kangxi saw him looking at him and then lowering his little head, he scratched his little nose affectionately.
Although he knew that the emperor was trying to coax the young prince, Liang Jiugong couldn't help but feel sorry for the other princes in his heart after hearing these words. After all, the other princes would not dare to touch the memorials without his permission, let alone help to pass them.
As for grinding ink, the other brothers had no chance to do that, but as soon as he asked, the brothers would line up to help him grind it.
The little fellow didn't know what Liang Jiugong was thinking. He believed it and sniffed his nose, saying in a crying and childish voice, "Brother is busy. An An, help brother and Ama pass the memorial."
Kangxi listened to his confusing words and saw that he did not forget to speak for his brother, so he thought that he was really a good brother.
"Okay, Ama, take Cheng'an to change his clothes first, and then Cheng'an will come to help Ama."
The father and son spent the entire afternoon behind the dragon case.
Normally, with the little guy's slow help, Kangxi would have to spend more time handling government affairs, but he actually finished reviewing the memorials earlier today than the previous two days.
This is probably because he is happy that the little guy is back and is more efficient.
When Kangxi found out, he smiled and touched the little guy who was lying in his arms after helping him: "Having Cheng'an's help today has saved me a lot of time."
The memorials waiting to be reviewed were piled up in a corner of the dragon desk. Even though he wanted to help push them closer, the little guy still had to stretch out his hand to reach them given his size. After being busy back and forth for an entire afternoon, he was indeed a little tired.
But when he heard his father's praise, the little guy instantly perked up and said with his chest puffed out: "An An will help my father next time~"
"Okay." Kangxi agreed immediately. Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, he decided to play with him for a while.
The little guy originally wanted to go outside to swing, but it was very cold outside in that weather, so Kangxi naturally refused to let him go out.
Fortunately, the wooden horse had not been played for a long time, so he started playing with it in the hall.
"Ama hit you~"
After the little guy pushed the wooden horse around the hall twice, he couldn't help but become naughty.
"If you hurt me, you won't know where you can find another father." Kangxi sat in his seat calmly, and did not move even though the wooden horse was right in front of him.
"An An wouldn't bear to bump into Ama!" the little guy said and turned around.
The dinner was still very sumptuous. Although there was no gourd chicken, it was basically all the dishes that the little one liked.
After two meals, the little guy finally realized that home is the best and the food at home tastes better.
When they were playing on the bed before going to bed, he took the initiative to climb into Kangxi's arms and raised his little face to promise: "Father, An An will never run around again next time!"
Kangxi was reading a book, but when he heard this, he put the book aside.
"Why are you so well behaved suddenly?" Kangxi asked, hugging the sweet-smelling little one in his arms.
"There's no Ama outside!"
Kangxi's heart softened a little at this, when he heard him say, "The food outside is not as delicious as at home."
"So, is Ama more important or eating more important?" Kangxi stared at him and asked.
"Of course Ama is important!"
Hearing the little guy's answer without hesitation, Kangxi smiled with satisfaction, feeling that his love for him was not in vain.
However, Kangxi did not know that the reason why the little guy answered so affirmatively was partly because, in his heart, his father could decide what he would eat, so of course his father was important.
"Since you are so good, promise me one more thing."
"good!"
Seeing that he didn't want to hear what was going on, Kangxi said directly. The smile on his face became more obvious. He touched his head and said, "You are not allowed to turn into a dragon casually in the future, and you are not allowed to fly."
"Okay." Cheng An nodded seriously.
Obviously, the little guy was a little scared of flying to Great Britain, a strange place with no good food, and not being able to see his father and other brothers, so he agreed very readily.
"I hope you'll keep your word." Kangxi said. Seeing that he was so well behaved, he stroked his back affectionately. After a while, he lowered his head and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
"An An is not sleepy yet." The little guy lay in his arms and shook his head.
"Do you want Ama to read to you?"
"Yes~"
Seeing that he wanted to listen, Kangxi specially asked someone to bring him a book that he would be interested in and start reading.
Kangxi was the person Cheng'an had spent the longest time with since he was born. The little guy felt very safe just leaning in his arms. When he heard the sound of his reading again after such a long time, the little guy couldn't help but laugh happily.
"What are you laughing at?" Kangxi didn't find anything funny about what he was reading, but when he saw him suddenly laughing, he couldn't help but ask another question.
The little guy's answer was to suddenly raise his head and kiss him on the face, then his eyes curved into crescents: "An An wants to smile when he sees Ama~"
This statement was a bit ambiguous, but Kangxi did not misunderstand his meaning. He immediately laughed as well, and the bedroom was filled with a warm atmosphere.
After Kangxi calmed down, he doted on the little guy who had been lost and found again. Not only did he order the imperial kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes for every meal, he also took him wherever he went except when he went to court.
The little guy who hasn't seen Ama for a long time is also very willing to be his little tail. Except when he is held by him, the rest of the time he will actively follow behind him.
Of course, even so, Kangxi did not take back his previous words that he had casually asked him to copy each word he could write a hundred times. After all, a king’s words are not a joke.
But fortunately, he didn't set a specific time, so the little one can write slowly.
Compared to Cheng'an's happy life after returning to the palace, Yin'e's life was much more miserable. Not only did he have to copy characters and books, but he also had to face the cold eyes of other brothers. He was even dragged to the cloth warehouse by Yinzhi and others.
When it comes to Buku, Yin'e is just a younger brother. It's bad enough that he can't beat his older brothers, but he can't even beat his younger brothers.
"Twelfth brother, don't you love Buku?" Yin'e had just gotten up from the ground when he saw Yinlu coming forward and could not help but take two steps back.
After all, he was the elder brother. Even if Yinlu was somewhat dissatisfied with him because of the little guy, he would not dare to do anything. But who could have made him...
"It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. I hope you can forgive me, brother Ten."
Yinluo's tone was very polite, but he was merciless when he really started fighting.
There was no way. As he said, this was suggested by Kangxi, so naturally he could not show mercy.
"Myna, what is our relationship? How dare you treat me like this..."
"Brother, you have already taught me a lesson, why are you still here? Cheng'an, help me!"
On this day, Yin'e's tragic screams were heard from the cloth warehouse, but unfortunately the only person who could save him could not hear it.
Not only that, when he entered the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, he was scolded by her.
Kangxi wanted to hide it from the empress dowager, but the little guy had been away for too long. In order not to make the empress dowager worry too much, he finally concealed the fact that the little guy turned into a dragon and flew away. He only told the empress dowager that the little guy wanted to see Yinzhen and the others. Yin'e took the little guy to Tibet on his own initiative.
The Empress Dowager's favorite grandson before was Yinqi, but now Yinqi has left the palace and set up his own household, and she doesn't have to worry about him anymore, so she turned most of her attention to her little grandson.
Seeing that Yin'e was so unruly as to take such a little kid to Tibet, even the kind-hearted Queen Mother couldn't help but teach him a lesson.
"Your Majesty, you might as well ground me right now!"
After experiencing all this, Yin'e couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
