After Kangxi pinched his face, he picked up the box next to him.
After pressing the mechanism and discovering that it was a gadget for children, he guessed without hesitation that it must have been brought by one of Yin'e and the others.
When Cheng'an saw the box in his hand, he immediately thought of his brothers again. Of course, this time he didn't think of Yinzhen and the others, but his other brothers.
"Brother..." he said as he crawled into Kangxi's arms, his little head slightly tilted back.
When Kangxi heard his words, he couldn't help but say, "You are thinking about them."
Thinking about how he had been tormented by those people before, and now they were nagging him again, Kangxi's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
"Brother, ah..." Cheng'an said again, and stretched out his little hands to pry them open.
He was quite smart and knew to use his fingers to represent his brothers. However, in Kangxi's eyes, he didn't know the other princes at all, so he naturally couldn't understand what he meant.
After hearing him keep calling him "brother", Kangxi finally said, "Okay, let them come to see you another day."
He meant to ask Yinzhen or Yinsi to come and see him next time, but Cheng'an thought he was talking about his other brother.
The father and son were talking at cross purposes, but they did reach an agreement. Cheng An stopped babbling with him, but nodded and started to nibble on his own tender little white hand.
"How disgraceful." Kangxi saw him sucking his fingers and said as he pulled his hands down.
Cheng An glanced at him, and after a while he put his hand into his mouth again.
Seeing this, Kangxi lifted his chin and said, "Open your mouth and let me see."
"Ah..." Cheng'an bit his finger again and opened his mouth obediently.
Not only did he start opening his mouth and walking early, but his teeth also grew rapidly. His upper and lower front teeth had already grown, and now millet grains of teeth began to appear next to them.
When he first started to grow teeth, he loved biting his hands for a while, so Kangxi wondered if he was growing teeth again. Now he saw that it was true.
"He's really growing teeth again." Kangxi watched him grow from the size of a ball when he was born to his present size. Seeing him start to grow teeth again, the feeling of witnessing his growth is a little hard to describe.
After having his teeth checked, Cheng'an felt an itchy sensation and started biting his hands unconsciously. He not only bit his hands, but sometimes he also bit things around him.
Although it would not be difficult to find someone to accompany him and correct this habit from time to time, Kangxi felt a little distressed when he saw that he felt uncomfortable without anything to chew, so he ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare some edible food for him to chew on for fun.
Everyone in the palace knew that the Twenty-Fourth Prince was still living in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. This treatment was not enjoyed by ordinary princes, so the imperial kitchen did not dare to neglect him and did their best to make a milk cake and send it over.
The milk cake, which is as thick as a thumb and three fingers long, is made very delicately. It has a hard texture but not too hard so as not to hurt the little prince's tender teeth. Considering that the little prince cannot eat strong flavors at this time, only a little sugar is added to enhance the flavor. The overall taste is rich in milk flavor and only slightly sweet.
After the milk cake was served, Kangxi took a bite first. As soon as he started chewing, Cheng'an in his arms stood up after smelling the flavor.
"I really gave birth to a greedy cat." Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, Kangxi raised his hand and refused to give him the food.
"Dad, eat it..." Cheng'an stood on tiptoe on his legs to reach the milk cake in his hand.
Liang Jiugong, who was standing by, saw this scene and a smile crossed his eyes. He felt that his master's mood had been getting better day by day since the birth of the 24th Prince.
"Father is eating." Kangxi responded to his words, and when he saw that his expression became aggrieved, he picked up another piece of milk cake from the side and handed it to him.
Cheng An, who was aggrieved just now, immediately smiled after taking the milk cake: "Hello, Ama..."
"Would it be bad if Father didn't give you food?" Kangxi asked with a smile when he heard his words.
Cheng An didn't answer, but sat back on his lap, grabbing the milk cake with both hands and eating it attentively.
Needless to say, the royal chef's cooking skills were excellent. He couldn't stop eating the milk cake with its rich milk flavor, sweetness and delicious taste.
Seeing that he tasted a small piece of milk cake as if it were delicacies from land and sea, Kangxi simply put the remaining half of the milk cake into his mouth, which he was about to put down.
The milk cake, which he could finish in two bites, was enough for Cheng'an to chew for a long time.
Kangxi thought the serious look on his face when he ate the milk cake was very interesting, and he didn't feel bored just watching him.
On the other hand, when Yinsi and the others left the palace, Yin'e kept saying bad things about Yinzhen: "Cheng'an is not just his brother..."
"Everyone knows him, and it's obvious that he has other intentions." Yinzhen didn't think that Yinzhen had any brotherly love, otherwise why didn't he care about his younger brother, who was born of the same mother? He was sure that he was just doing it for the emperor to see.
"Fourteenth brother..." Yinsi originally didn't want to get involved in their conversation, but after hearing what he said, he still reminded him to pay attention that they were still in the palace.
After his reminder, the three of them quieted down. After leaving the palace, Yin'e, who was still a little unhappy, went straight to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
In recent days, he would mention Cheng'an every time he came out of the palace. Yinzhen thought it was the same this time and was about to order someone to throw him out of the house, but he heard him change the subject.
Although this topic is also related to Cheng'an, it is more about complaining about Yinzhen.
Ever since that time when Yin'er took Yin'e to cut the dog's hair when they were children, and Yinzhen cut off his braids in return, the brothers have been at odds with each other, and the conflict has continued to this day.
Hearing his words, Yinzhen said with a bit of disgust: "Didn't you specially come to me last time to get some new stuff, but you still couldn't coax a child?"
"Who said that? As soon as I said my hand hurt, Cheng'an came running over and helped me rub my arm..." At this point, Yin'e began to praise Cheng'an non-stop, and then he said, "It was Yinzhen who took advantage of his age and monopolized Cheng'an and wouldn't let him come to me!"
He was talking about the last period of time before he left, when Yinzhen took Cheng'an away from him and never let him go.
Yin'er originally had little interest in his younger brother Cheng'an, especially after hearing Yin'e praising him every day, he didn't want to visit him even more.
Now from what he said, it seemed that Yinzhen, who always had a cold face, also liked Cheng'an very much, so he became interested.
"Call me next time you come to the palace." Yinzhen wanted to go and see if his younger brother had three heads and six arms or something.
Yin'e was a little surprised when he heard this: "Didn't you say you were not interested in Cheng'an?"
"Now I have it."
Fearing that Yinzhen would snatch away his position as Cheng'an's "closest brother", two days later, Yin'e prepared to enter the palace again.
This time Yinzhen had something to do and didn't go with him, but there was one more person, Yinlang, who was traveling with them, so it was still a group of three.
They chatted for a while on the way, and Yin'er found that not only Yin'e, but even Yinsi mentioned Cheng'an with smiles on their faces and full of praise, which made him more curious.
If they wanted to see Cheng'an, they would have to go through Kangxi, so they went to pay their respects to him first.
Kangxi noticed that since Cheng'an was raised, his sons had come to pay their respects more frequently, and he couldn't help but glance at them.
In his heart, Cheng'an was the most well-behaved child. Those brothers who liked him had good taste, so he did not make things difficult for them and simply waved his hand to let them go.
Yinzhen usually didn't want to get close to Kangxi, for fear that he would remember his business and scold him for "competing with the people for profits." He was a little worried at first, but only breathed a sigh of relief when he left his presence.
After leaving Kangxi's presence, the three of them were obviously much more relaxed.
When they entered the warm room where Cheng'an was, Yin'e smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Cheng'an, Brother Ten is here to see you!"
Cheng An was originally sitting on the couch playing with a ball. He immediately raised his head when he heard his voice, and the next second he clapped his hands and shouted, "Brother!"
After the third bathing ceremony, this was the first time Yinzhen saw his younger brother. His first impression was that he was very handsome, his smile was very pleasing, and his voice of affectionately calling him "brother" was even more pleasing.
After just one encounter, he began to understand why Yin'e liked him.
"Hey!" Yin'e responded, took a few big steps over and picked him up, "Do you miss Brother Ten?"
"I do!" Cheng An nodded decisively.
Yin'e smiled even more deeply when he heard this: "Tenth brother misses you too."
Cheng'an chuckled when he heard this, reached out to touch his face, then turned around and called Yinsi: "Brother!"
"Yes." Yinsi responded with a smile, then pointed at Yinzhen and introduced him, "This is your ninth brother."
Cheng An turned around and found that this brother was very handsome. He couldn't help but reach out to him: "Brother!"
Yinzhen saw that he was not shy and his pair of black eyes looked at him brightly with a full smile and a sense of intimacy. He somehow reached out his hand and took him in.
People are visually oriented, and children especially like good-looking people. Cheng'an, who already liked his brothers, became even happier after falling into his arms.
He was happy, but after holding the baby, he remembered that he had never held a child before. Yinzhen looked at Yinsi and said, "My dear brother, take him away!"
"Cheng'an likes you very much." Yinsi said as he took the person over.
People are always more tolerant towards those who like them. In addition, Cheng'an is good-looking, young, and a younger brother. After handing him over to him, Yinzhen couldn't help but look at him carefully.
Cheng'an obediently went into Yinsi's arms and lay on his shoulder affectionately. Seeing his ninth brother looking at him, he subconsciously smiled at him.
Looking at his innocent and pure smiling face, Yinzhen didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little itchy in his heart. He wanted to pinch his exceptionally fair and tender face to see if it was as soft as it looked.
After Yinsi held Cheng'an and sat down on the couch, the two of them also sat down. Yin'e said, "Fortunately Yin... Fourth Brother didn't come, otherwise he would have snatched it from us again!"
Cheng'an knew that the "fourth brother" was "Yinzhen". Hearing this, he bit his finger and shouted, "Brother..."
His face was facing Yinzhen, and Yinzhen subconsciously thought he was calling him.
Tsk! She's really as clingy as Yin'e said...
He thought to himself, but reached out and pulled out the finger that Cheng An had put in his mouth: "Don't bite your hand."
