As soon as Yin'e stopped Cheng'an from sucking his thumb, Yin'e came over and grabbed his other little hand, looking up and saying, "Ninth brother, I told you that you would like Cheng'an as soon as you saw him!"
Thinking about how he was unwilling to come when he was called before, Yin'e's tone was a little proud.
Hearing his words, Yin'e neither admitted nor denied it. His eyes fell on the person in Yin'e's arms, and he saw him suddenly grab Yin'e's hand and put it into his mouth. His first reaction was: "Don't bite it, it's dirty!"
"Ouch——" Yin'e was suddenly bitten. Although it didn't hurt much, he still cried out subconsciously. When he heard what his ninth brother said, he couldn't help but refute, "I just washed my hands before I went out. How can they be dirty!"
Cheng'an probably heard his shout and immediately let go of his hand, tilting his head slightly and looking at him with a bit of innocence.
"It's okay, Brother Shi, it doesn't hurt." Seeing him looking at him eagerly, Yin'e coaxed him back with a little surprise in his tone, "Why do you suddenly like biting my hand?"
The young eunuch who was sent by Kangxi to look after Cheng'an heard this and was about to explain, but he saw the young prince suddenly open his mouth and let out an "ah".
Because Kangxi had told him so, Cheng'an knew that his itchy teeth and the urge to bite something were because he had grown new teeth, so he opened his mouth to show his brother.
However, Yin'e didn't react. Seeing him opening his mouth towards him, he thought he was hungry, so he immediately ordered, "Hurry up and bring the food."
Yinzhen, on the other hand, saw the little white teeth in his open mouth and said with a little surprise: "He has grown teeth already!"
Hearing his words, Yinsi and Yin'e both looked down.
This was not the first time they had seen Cheng An, so they naturally knew that he had grown baby teeth, but now they suddenly discovered that he had grown new teeth next to them.
"Oh, teeth are coming out again. I can eat meat when these teeth grow out." Yin'e said with a smile as he looked at the few white millet grains on his gums.
When Cheng An heard his words, he didn't know if it was because he had kept his mouth open for too long, so he just slurped his saliva and said, "Meat..."
Yinzhen was amused by his little appearance: "He can't eat meat yet?"
"He's still too young." Yinsi shook his head.
While they were talking, the young eunuch in the warm room brought over a plate of milk cake.
"Gao Gao!" Before the milk cake was served, Cheng'an shouted when he smelled the fragrance.
At first Yin'e thought he was calling "brother" until he saw the plate of milk cake. Then he realized what was going on and saw him waving his little hands impatiently, so he reached out and took a piece and handed it to him.
"Hello, brother..." Cheng An took the milk cake without even saying a word of praise, then held the milk cake in both hands and started eating it.
He looked very focused while eating the milk cake, his pair of black eyes were all on his hands, and his little feet were shaking when he was happily chewing, which was enough to melt people's hearts.
As he took one bite after another, the surrounding was filled with the rich aroma of milk.
"Is it really that delicious?" Yin'e saw how delicious he was eating. He swallowed for a moment and lowered his head and said, "Cheng'an, can you give me one?"
Seeing that he was greedy even for the food of such a young child, Yinzhen thought that he was becoming more and more successful.
"Brother, eat it!" Cheng An didn't feel reluctant when he heard his words, and immediately raised the half-eaten milk cake in his hand.
Yin'e looked at the milk cake that was covered with small teeth marks and wanted to say that he didn't want the one in his hand, but he was afraid that he would cry if he refused, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Cheng'an, eat by yourself, there's more food here." Yinsi reached out and took the plate to help him out.
Cheng An saw the milk cake on the plate and grabbed a piece and handed it to Yin'e before Yin'e could say anything else: "Brother, eat..."
"Cheng'an is so good!" Yin'e praised and took it.
Cheng'an took one for him but did not forget his other brothers. He took one for Yin'er and Yin'si respectively.
Seeing him handing it over eagerly, Yinzhen thought about it and took it for the sake of face. At the same time, he thought to himself that he was not guarding his food.
Speaking of guarding food, he thought of when Yin'e was a child. They had a very good relationship, but when he ate snacks, Yin'e could never get even a piece from him.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but look at Yin'e and recall the past.
"That was when we were kids. Why are you talking about this? If you want some snacks, go to my house and have a good meal." Yin'e saw him exposing his shortcomings in front of his brother, so he interrupted him and took a bite of the milk cake in his hand to change the subject, "Why is it so hard?"
The young eunuch who had just brought the milk cake quickly explained that it was made in the imperial kitchen specially for the little prince to grind his teeth.
Yinsi also tasted it and found it was indeed a bit hard, but seeing the little guy in his arms chewing it so happily, he slowly ate it as well.
Yinzhen was not interested in the milk cake in his hand, so he waited for Cheng'an to finish eating the one in his hand before handing him his.
"Hello, brother..." Cheng'an did not forget to praise him when he took it.
"You have a sweet mouth. I don't know who you take it from." Yinzhen finally couldn't help but pinch his face lightly. Seeing that he let it pinched obediently, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Yin'e had just said that the milk cake was too hard, but when he saw Cheng'an chewing it so happily, he unconsciously reached out and took piece after piece.
The portion of this plate of milk cake was not large to begin with. If Cheng'an were to eat enough, it would take him several hours to chew it slowly. But for Yin'e, one bite at a time was no problem.
So when Cheng'an finished eating the third one and stretched out his empty little hand, calling "brother" to indicate that he wanted more, Yinsi turned around and found that the plate was empty.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Yin'e throwing the last half of the milk cake in his hand into his mouth. He immediately felt helpless: "Tenth brother, you are really..."
Yin'er followed his line of sight and found that Yin'e had eaten all the milk cakes. He was speechless and asked, "You came here to eat for free?"
Yin'e found that he had finished his brother's snack without realizing it, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
At this time, Cheng An also realized that there was no more on the plate, and immediately spread out his hands: "No..."
"Do you want to eat more? Brother Ba, ask someone to bring another plate." Seeing that he didn't cry or make a fuss, Yinsi liked his younger brother more and more.
Cheng An thought of what Kangxi had said before: one should not eat too much milk cake. Although he did not finish this plate, he still shook his head and said, "No... Brother is playing..."
"Okay, mynah brother will play with you." After saying this, Yinsi asked someone to bring the toys he usually played with.
When the eunuch beside him turned around to get something, Yinzhen glanced at Yin'e and said, "You are really going backwards as you grow older."
"It's just some milk cake, Cheng'an didn't say anything." Yin'e muttered.
The young eunuch didn't know what the young prince wanted to play at the moment, so he just took the wooden box where he usually kept things.
The box, which was slightly larger than a lunch box, was now filled with a lot of things. After placing it on the couch, Cheng'an immediately moved from Yinsi to the couch.
When Cheng'an was looking through his treasures in the box, Yin'e curiously leaned over to take a look, and was surprised to find several familiar things: "Isn't this Fourth Brother's jade pendant?
As he was talking, he picked it up and found that there was more than one piece. He exclaimed, "He is quite generous!"
Yinsi and Yin'er looked over and recognized that those jade pendants were the ones that Yinzhen often wore.
"It seems that Fourth Brother likes Cheng'an very much." Yinsi said.
Cheng An didn't pay attention to what they said. He quickly took out the Nine-Ring Chain from the box and started shaking it. After shaking it for a while, he handed it to the owner: "Brother, give it to me..."
Yin'e felt overwhelmed when he saw the Nine Links, and quickly blamed Dong for the problem, saying, "Give it to your ninth brother, he can solve this!"
Cheng'an followed his hand and looked at Yinzhen, then immediately walked towards him.
Yinzhen looked at his swaying figure with every step he took, and simply reached out and hugged him and sat down on the couch.
Cheng An sat down again and handed over the Nine Links: "Brother..."
Yinzhen had no interest in the Nine-Rings puzzle, something he had grown tired of playing with when he was a child. However, after hearing his son's childish voice, he decided to teach him how to solve it since he called him "brother" after all.
Yinsi was afraid that he would be unwilling, so he was about to ask Cheng'an to come over and help him untie it, when he saw that his ninth brother had already taken the nine rings.
The Nine Rings Linked Chain was not difficult for Yinzhen, and he solved it easily when he arrived.
Cheng An saw him start to take action and moved his little butt towards him.
When he came closer, Yinzhen smelled the scent of milk. He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and immediately felt that he was indeed a baby.
As Cheng An watched, his body gradually leaned towards him, and after he untied the first three rings, he was already leaning against him intimately.
When Yinzhen noticed this, he turned his head and looked over, and saw him smiling at him, clapping his hands and shouting, "Brother, ah..."
Yinzhen, who somehow understood that he was bragging about how powerful he was, sneered: "It's just a nine-ring puzzle, what's the big deal?"
Having said that, he did not push away the small body next to him, and the movements of his hands to untie the nine-ring chain became faster unconsciously.
After all the nine rings were unlocked, the three of them were about to leave.
Yinsi and Yin'e had become accustomed to Cheng'an calling them at the top of his lungs every time they left, especially after he learned to walk, he would follow them all the way to the door of the warm room, making people want to take him back with them.
This was the first time that Yinzhen experienced such a situation. When he saw him flapping his short legs and chasing after him, calling him "brother", he couldn't help but stop.
When Cheng An saw him stop, he rushed over and hugged his legs: "Brother, no... don't leave..."
Yinsi, Yin'e and others couldn't stand to see him like this. The first few times, Yin'e even thought of secretly bringing him back home, but after thinking about the consequences, he gave up.
Later on, they gained experience and would leave as quickly as possible to avoid feeling soft-hearted and reluctant when hearing his voice.
At this moment, he found that Yin'e actually stopped. Yin'e couldn't help but raise his hand and slap his head, regretting that he didn't tell him when he came.
Of course, the main reason was that Yin'e thought that his tenth brother's indifferent attitude before would not be soft-hearted when he left, but he didn't expect...
It was the first time that Yinzhen met such a clingy child. Feeling the soft little body on his legs and looking at his reluctant little face, he felt that children were trouble.
He thought so in his heart, but said: "Be good and obedient, next time I will bring you something new from the West."
However, no matter what he said, Cheng An still held him with a smile on his face and refused to let go.
Yinzhen felt a little headache, but he didn't want to pull him away directly. When his eyes fell on the purse on his waist, he simply took it off and said, "This is for you, take it quickly."
The purse with a moon-white background and gold-thread embroidery looks very delicate.
Cheng An looked at the purse swaying gently in front of him and subconsciously reached out to take it.
Yinzhen shook the purse to coax him to let go of his hands and grab the purse instead, then he quickly turned around and ran out.
After Cheng An got the purse, before he could even shout "brother", he saw three figures disappear in front of him. He opened his mouth slightly, thinking to himself that his brother could really fly...
