The long and thin dragon beard noodles are suitable for children. Paired with the delicious chicken soup, even though the taste is a little bland, Cheng An still shakes his head while eating it.
Seeing that he could enjoy eating noodles so much, Yinreng was somewhat infected by his mood and looked more relaxed than ever before.
"It's delicious~" Cheng An said while holding his little face after swallowing the noodles in his mouth.
When Yinreng heard what he said, he picked up another handful of noodles and fed it to him.
After taking a few mouthfuls of noodles, Cheng'an suddenly stretched out his little hands, grabbed the bowl, and leaned his head over to drink the soup.
"Drink slowly." Yinreng reminded him while holding the bowl tightly to prevent him from spilling it.
The little fellow drank a few mouthfuls of the delicious noodle soup with such delight that his eyes curved with joy. Then he opened his mouth again and waited for food: "Brother..."
Seeing him eating so happily, Yinzhen suddenly felt like eating noodles, so he turned around and ordered, "Give me a bowl of chicken noodle soup, too."
A eunuch who was waiting nearby immediately stepped back upon hearing this, and soon returned with a food box.
Being a servant in the palace, it is not a bad thing to be more careful. Although Yinzhen only wanted one bowl, the eunuch brought a few more bowls. On the one hand, he was afraid that he would not have enough to eat, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the other two princes would also want some later.
What's more, when the noodles were served, Yinzhen saw that there was extra food and naturally gestured for one of them to be placed in front of him.
The chicken soup used for chicken noodle soup is very clear, and the long and thin noodles like dragon whiskers lie in it, which is very appetizing just by looking at it.
Yinzhen picked up his bowl and took a big bite. After swallowing it, he nodded and said, "It's really good."
Cheng'an looked up when he heard the voice, and saw his fourteenth and fourth brothers also eating noodles. He clapped his hands with joy.
Finding that he was so easily amused for some reason, Yinreng once again brought the noodles he had just picked up to his mouth.
Cheng An found that his two elder brothers had noodles to eat, but his second elder brother did not. He did not open his mouth again, but pushed his hand holding the chopsticks and said, "Brother, eat."
"Eat it yourself." Yinreng glanced at Yinzhen beside him and felt that he was not him, who would even be greedy for a child's meal.
"It's delicious~" Cheng'an said while continuing to push his hand.
He was so persistent that he just wanted to share the delicious noodles with his brother.
Yinreng couldn't do anything about him, so he could only ask someone to bring a bowl of noodles in front of him: "I have it, you can eat it yourself."
Cheng'an looked up at the noodles on the table, then opened his mouth again.
If he was eating something else, he could hold the spoon and take a few bites by himself, but for food like noodles, there was no way and he had to be fed by someone.
Fortunately, Yinreng did find some pleasure in feeding the baby and was not impatient at all.
Cheng'an had a good appetite and he finished the whole bowl of noodles one bite after another, leaving no soup at all.
Seeing that he had eaten so cleanly that he even pointed to the last noodle at the bottom of the bowl and asked him to pick it up, Yinreng asked, "Do you want more?"
Hearing his brother's words, Cheng An touched his belly and shook his head, "No."
He learned this from Kangxi. Every time after feeding Cheng'an, he would touch his stomach to check if he was full.
When Yinreng saw his actions, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and couldn't help but touch it as well. The soft and slightly bulging belly felt very good to touch.
Yinzhen next to him had already finished his bowl of noodles and was now eating some vegetables bit by bit.
Seeing that Cheng'an had finally finished eating, he deliberately shook the piece of rabbit meat with tangerine peel that he had just picked up with his chopsticks in front of the little guy.
Although Cheng'an was full, he was still subconsciously attracted when he saw the fragrant meat and stretched out his little hand to take it.
Yinzhen's original intention was to coax him into his arms, so it was naturally impossible for him to get the rabbit meat.
Compared to yesterday, Cheng'an finished his bowl of noodles peacefully today, but when he saw Yinzhen, he deliberately teased him. Yinreng glanced at him and then changed his sitting direction while holding the little guy in his arms.
Cheng'an was stunned for a moment when his direction was suddenly changed, then turned to look at Yinzhen.
"Take a rest after eating." Yinreng turned his head back and pressed it into his arms.
After Cheng An leaned on him, he found that he was facing his fourth brother, so he did not try to turn his head, but looked at the other party with a smile.
Yinzhen was having his lunch quietly. When he noticed his gaze, he looked back and picked up some vegetables with chopsticks under his gaze.
The green vegetables did not attract Cheng An, so he did not try to reach out for them.
Seeing that he was still well behaved, Yinreng picked up the bowl in front of him and started eating.
No matter how good the imperial chef's cooking skills are, he will get tired of eating the same food from childhood, so it doesn't really matter to him what he eats.
Since the noodles had just been brought to him, he might as well start eating.
The noodles in his bowl were not much different from what Cheng An had just eaten. If I had to say something, it was probably that they were saltier and not as light.
Perhaps because he saw Cheng'an eating with relish just now, Yinreng now also thought the food tasted quite good.
After looking at Yinzhen for a while, Cheng'an was soon attracted by the sound of Yinreng eating noodles.
Perhaps the rice in other people’s bowls always smells better. Although it was the same noodles, he became greedy again after seeing Yinreng take two bites.
“Brother…” He tilted his head back and pointed at his mouth.
Yinreng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw his actions: "Aren't you full?"
"I want to eat." Cheng An said with an obedient expression as if he was waiting to be fed.
Yinreng didn't know that noodles that looked the same could have different saltiness. Seeing him looking at him eagerly, he changed his pair of chopsticks, picked up some and fed it to him.
With the experience of the previous bowl of noodles, he fed this mouthful of noodles perfectly, sending it right into Cheng'an's mouth without even touching his lips with the soup.
However, if Kangxi knew that his second son used his intelligence to feed his youngest son, I wonder if he would be happy.
Cheng'an tried hard to chew with his front few baby teeth. After swallowing it, he suddenly felt that his brother's noodles tasted better than his own, so he opened his mouth again immediately.
Yinreng touched his belly again, and refused to feed him again after making sure that he was full.
"You want to eat~" Seeing that he stopped feeding him, Cheng An stood up in his arms.
Yinzhen, who was standing beside him, had already finished eating. He put down his chopsticks and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give it to me, second brother, enjoy your meal."
Yinreng hesitated for a second before handing the person over to him.
After falling into Yinzhen's arms, Cheng'an didn't stay still for two seconds, and soon pointed at the dishes on the table to express his desire to eat.
Not counting the New Year's Eve palace banquet, this was the first time that Yinzhen had dined at the same table with him. At first, he didn't realize how difficult he was and just replied indifferently that he was still young and couldn't eat.
After being rejected, Cheng'an first reached out and took the chopsticks he had just used from the table. When Yinzhen took the chopsticks away and ordered someone to take away the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, he stood up and tried to lie on the table.
"No." Seeing him reaching out to grab the food on the table, Yinzhen quickly hugged him back in his arms.
The little guy was already difficult enough to deal with, and Yinzhen, who was sitting opposite him, was watching the fun without thinking twice. He had already finished eating, but he picked up a piece of chicken and dangled it in the air for a while before putting it into his own bowl.
When Cheng'an saw the chicken on his chopsticks, he opened his mouth slightly and drooled.
"Yinzhen!" Yinzhen warned after discovering it.
Yinzhen was not afraid of him. He picked up the bowl and started eating slowly.
Cheng An smelled the aroma wafting from the table and wanted to eat some meat. He blinked twice and tilted his head back and said, "Brother, drink..."
Seeing that he wanted to drink water right after finishing his meal, Yinzhen frowned slightly, but finally asked someone to bring him half a glass of water.
Just as Yinzhen reached out to take the cup of water, Cheng'an took the opportunity to stand up on his legs again, quickly grabbed a handful of water from a plate in front of him and put it into his mouth.
When Yinzhen reacted, he threw away the thing he had bitten, his whole face wrinkled, and he was still making "Pooh" sounds with his mouth.
"What a great trick, you are worthy of being my brother!" Yinzhen, who saw the whole process from the opposite side, laughed so hard and felt that it was not easy for him to eat a piece of meat.
Seeing that he could still laugh, Yinzhen glared at him and then looked at the little guy in his arms.
"Brother..." The little brother turned around and hugged him and whimpered.
Yinreng, who had put down his bowl and chopsticks the moment he stole the food, glanced at the thing he had just dropped and felt relieved when he saw that it was just a piece of ginger.
"It's his fault." Yinreng said so, but when he heard him whimpering in Yinzhen's arms, he quickly reminded him, "He just bit the ginger."
Yinzhen felt helpless when he heard this. He didn't understand what was so delicious about meat that made him so greedy for it even though his teeth hadn't even grown yet.
While thinking in his mind, he quickly brought the cup of water to the person in his arms: "Hurry up and drink two sips of water."
After Yinzhen finished laughing, he saw the little guy leaning on his fourth brother's arms and drinking water with an aggrieved look on his face. He spoke up for him and said, "This imperial chef is really something. Not only did he put ginger in the dishes, he didn't even bother to pick it out before serving."
Of course, if he could restrain the smile in his voice, it would probably seem more sincere.
After this incident, Cheng'an calmed down, but Yinreng saw that he looked a little depressed, so he took the initiative to pick up a piece of tender fried egg and fed it to him.
The fried eggs are more fragrant than egg custard. Cheng'an sniffed twice with his little nose and then ate the fried eggs in one gulp.
"Isn't he unable to eat?" Yinzhen couldn't help but ask.
Yinzhen watched the little guy in his arms smile again after eating the scrambled eggs. He felt that he was easily satisfied and said on behalf of Yinreng, "It's okay for him to eat a little."
After giving him a bite of fried eggs to satisfy his craving, Yinreng finished his meal and ordered someone to remove the dishes on the table.
Without the temptation of the food, Cheng An immediately became well-behaved, holding the cloth tiger he brought with him and chatting with his brothers in babbling voices.
Yinreng and the other two could only understand part of what he said, even through guessing.
After sitting for a while, Yinzhen and Yinzhen really had to leave.
After finishing his meal, Cheng'an ran into Yinreng's arms again. After Yinreng sent the two of them to the courtyard, he handed the person in his arms to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen, who wanted to reach out but caught nothing, snorted in his heart in displeasure and decided that he would hug her as much as possible next time he had the chance.
When Cheng'an fell into Yinzhen's arms, her little hands were still holding onto Yinreng's sleeves.
"Go with your fourth brother." Yinreng said, looking at the little hand on his sleeve.
Cheng An had already seen that his fourth brother and Yin Zhen were going to take him away. He looked at his second brother who was standing there, pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, let's go."
He couldn't bear to leave his fourth and fourteenth brothers, nor his second brother, so he thought that since he had to leave, he might as well let his second brother go with him.
Yinreng could not leave the Xian'an Palace.
Yinzhen was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he gently pulled Cheng'an's hand and said, "Go back first, and come to see my second brother another day."
After saying this, he took Yinzhen to say goodbye to Yinreng, and then walked out quickly.
After the gate of Xian'an Palace was closed, Yinreng still heard a voice outside calling him "brother", with a faint smile on his face that he himself did not even notice.
Outside the door, Cheng'an, who was taken away directly, made a fuss for a while, but at least he had his two brothers by his side, and after being coaxed for a while, he finally stopped making a fuss.
"Fourth brother, don't tire yourself out. Let me hold you for a while." After walking some distance away from Xian'an Palace, Yinzhen stretched out his hand and said.
Although they are brothers from the same mother, they rarely get along harmoniously.
After hearing his rare considerate words, even though he knew that his original intention was just to be close to his brother, Yinzhen finally did not refuse.
Finally holding his younger brother, Yinzhen was so happy that he threw him twice in the air.
Cheng'an didn't care which brother held him, and he laughed with joy when he was thrown up by his brother.
"Yinzhen!" Seeing that he actually made such a dangerous move, Yinzhen immediately regretted handing the person over to him.
"Don't worry, even if I fall, I won't fall on him." Yinzhen was in a good mood at the moment. He was not annoyed when he heard his stern voice, but instead made a promise.
"Brother, look!" Cheng An immediately pointed his finger when he saw a bird flying by.
Yinzhen looked up and taught him, "That's a bird."
Of course Cheng'an knew it was a bird, and he even opened his little hands to imitate fluttering, making a "chirp" sound with his mouth.
After Yinzhen was touched by his cuteness for a moment, he remembered that Yin'e had been punished by the Emperor for teaching him howl like a tiger, so he quickly said, "Fourth brother, you saw it, I didn't teach him that!"
Yinzhen ignored him, but Cheng'an in his arms, after learning the bird calls, suddenly remembered a poem Kangxi had taught him before, and tilted his little head to recite: "Ah, yellow yiming chirping~"
"What did he say?" Yinzhen asked puzzled.
Yinzhen recalled the childish voice several times in his mind and said calmly, "Two orioles sing in the green willows."
Hearing his voice, Cheng'an looked over and said, "Ming-chiu-chiu~" while clapping his hands.
Seeing that he not only recited it wrong but also corrected his own fourth brother, Yinzhen was amused and pinched his face and said, "I think you look like a Jiujiu."
Although Yinzhen didn't say anything, there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
The atmosphere on the way was very relaxed, but when they entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Yinzhen and Yinzhen both became serious.
When Cheng An saw that Fourteenth Brother suddenly stopped smiling, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.
"Stop making trouble." Yinzhen said to him softly, and after entering the hall, he immediately put him down and bowed with Yinzhen.
Having not seen Kangxi all morning, Cheng'an trotted over to him when he saw him: "Father!"
After Kangxi glanced at his two sons, he did not call them out, but looked at the youngest son in front of him.
"You are so brave that you dare to run around everywhere by yourself." Thinking that not only did he run away by himself, but he also went straight to Xian'an Palace, Kangxi tapped his forehead and said.
His tone was intimidating without being angry, and Yinzhen below couldn't help but feel worried after hearing it.
The person who was worried about him was not afraid at all. He rushed over and hugged Kangxi's legs and said, "Ah, yellow yiming chirp~"
"Don't say I taught you that when you go out." Kangxi heard that he only answered three words out of a seven-word sentence, and his tone revealed a hint of disgust.
It turned out that it was the Emperor who taught me...
Yinzhen below is also quite courageous and has the mood to think about all these trivial things.
When Cheng'an heard what his father said, he tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then thought of his brother. He turned around and saw that they were all kneeling down, so he quickly ran over to pull them away.
"Brother ahhhh!"
After he pulled hard for a while, Kangxi finally said, "Get up."
Yinzhen, who was finally able to stand up, looked at the little guy in front of him and felt that his love for him was not in vain.
Cheng'an saw his brothers finally get up, looked around, and found that only the emperor's seat had seats, so he tried to pull them up to sit.
In front of Kangxi, Yinzhen and Yinzhen dared not move around as freely as he did, and naturally could not let him pull them.
Of course, it was fortunate that Yinzhen didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have been scared to death.
Cheng An saw that he couldn't pull his brother, so he simply sat down on the ground, then patted the seat next to him and said, "Brother, sit down."
"He is very close to you." Kangxi couldn't help but say when he saw how much he cared about Yinzhen and the other two.
Yinzhen and Yinzhen didn't know how to respond to this and could only remain silent.
"Go back and copy the Analects of Confucius ten times, and then leave." Kangxi was not actually angry because they went to Xian'an Palace, otherwise he would have had someone bring them here before receiving the news.
Learning from the people below that they had lunch with Baocheng, Kangxi felt more relieved from a father's perspective.
But rules are rules after all, and it is impossible for them to enter Xian'an Palace without permission without any punishment.
Reading "The Analects" ten times is really nothing, especially for Yinzhen who spends a lot of time practicing calligraphy every day.
The two brothers thanked the master in unison, took a last look at their younger brother who was still waiting for them to sit on the floor, and both walked out of the hall.
Cheng An didn't expect his brother to leave so suddenly. He jumped up from the ground and chased after him: "Brother——"
Without Kangxi's permission, the guards at the door naturally would not let him out.
After watching his brother walk away, Cheng'an returned to Kangxi with his head down.
"Do you still have me in your heart?" Kangxi was a little unhappy to see him like this.
When Cheng An heard his words, he immediately rushed over to hug him: "Ama."
Kangxi tapped him on the head, then held him in his arms and asked, "Why did you think of going to see your second brother today?"
"I miss my brother." Cheng An said.
Kangxi touched his head, sighed silently and said: "Next time you want to go, just ask someone to take you there, don't run around by yourself."
"Yeah." Cheng An nodded obediently.
Every time Kangxi saw him being well-behaved, his heart would soften a little, and this time was no exception.
It is my blessing to have such a son.
Kangxi hugged his soft little son in his arms. Just as this thought came into his mind, he realized the next second that although this son was good, he was also a headache sometimes, such as at this moment -
"Where's Amawei?"
It turned out that he had somehow thought of the tail again, and was now reaching out his little hand to touch Kangxi's back.
Kangxi, who felt that he was still his good son if he didn't bring up this topic, simply picked him up and put him on the ground: "Father Huang has something else to do, go and play by yourself."
Cheng An was naturally unwilling, so he circled around him a few times. When he saw that he was really busy with a focused look, he could only lie down in the gap of his throne out of boredom.
After a while, Liang Jiugong found him lying there motionless. After careful observation, he whispered, "Your Highness, the little prince seems to be asleep."
Kangxi lowered his head when he heard the voice, and found that he could fall asleep like this. He chuckled and picked him up and carried him to the couch to sleep.
On the other side, Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and said to the people around him in a good mood: "Fortunately, I was just copying books."
"Fourteenth brother, please think twice before you act next time." Yinzhen said.
Yinzhen felt a little annoyed when he heard his teaching tone, but considering that they were both punished today, he didn't refute anything.
Concubine De, who was worried about her son, had been following the news. She couldn't help but frown when she learned that her younger son had implicated her older son.
Although she didn't love her eldest son as much as her youngest son, he was still the child she had carried for ten months, so she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
She had been preparing all the time. Whenever she received any bad news, she would go to Kangxi in person to apologize on behalf of her sons. She would only feel relieved after hearing the final result and would have people call her two sons to her palace.
Even though Defei was partial, she couldn't help but say a few words to her youngest son this time, thinking that he was too bold.
You have to know that he is the crown prince. If you get involved with him, there will be no good ending. When the crown prince was deposed, the eldest prince has been imprisoned until now, and the thirteenth prince was also imprisoned for a long time before he was released...
"Fourth son, as his elder brother, you should take care of him more and don't let him be so reckless." After talking about the youngest son, Defei said to the eldest son.
Compared to usual, her attitude today was much nicer. Yinzhen glanced at Yinzhen, and even though he knew that he was not someone who would obey discipline, he still responded indifferently.
When Concubine De saw that her eldest son agreed and her younger son rarely objected, she felt happy and ordered people to take out a few better inkstones from her private storehouse and give them to her two sons, telling them to finish copying the book quickly and then let them leave.
After they left the palace, Yin'e, who heard that Yinzhen was punished, came to the door with Yin'e.
"What's going on? Why did the emperor punish you to copy books for no reason?" Yin'e asked.
Yinzhen looked at him and thought that he used the word "也" well and was very self-aware.
"Don't mention it. After you left, didn't I go there?"
After hearing what Yinzhen said, Yin'e couldn't help but ask, "What? You went to see Cheng'an without calling me!"
Yinzhen, who felt that his ability to grasp the key points was a little distorted, glanced at him and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly go to Xian'an Palace and bring Cheng'an with him?"
"It must be because of Hongjin." When talking about this nephew who died young, Yinzhen's expression became serious. Thinking that he was not much younger than himself, he felt a little regretful.
No matter how deep their relationship was with each other, they would not involve the next generation casually. Therefore, when they heard him mention this, Yin'e and Yin'er were silent for a while.
After a while, Yin'e spoke again: "Did Cheng'an tell you that he missed me?"
Yinzhen glanced at him and said under his expectant eyes: "How could he possibly think of you when I'm here?"
Yin'e heard the arrogance in his tone and punched him on the shoulder angrily: "Fuck you!"
