After Cheng'an stuffed another bite of melon into his mouth, his peripheral vision suddenly noticed the bowls in his brothers' hands.
He also had good eyesight and actually saw the faint white steam emanating from his brothers' bowls. He immediately stood up curiously, biting the melon in his mouth.
When Yin'e saw him coming suddenly, he overreacted and raised the bowl of ice in his hand.
Seeing how impatient he was, Yinzhen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Sure enough, Yin'e's dodging immediately aroused Cheng'an's curiosity, and he immediately reached out to climb on him.
It was impossible for Yin'e to push anyone down, and he eventually discovered the secret of the ice bowl.
"Ah..." Cheng'an touched his brother's bowl with his little hand and found that it was cold. He immediately opened his little mouth and waited for food.
Yin'e didn't dare to give him the ice bowl, so he pointed at his bowl on the low table and said, "There's also some in your bowl, be good and eat your own."
The little fellow held onto Yin'e's shoulders and stood up on his lap. Seeing that the food in his bowl was different from his own, he immediately hugged his arm and said, "An'an, you want to eat~"
If he could eat it, Yin'e would give it to him without him asking, but the problem is that he can't.
"The food in Brother Ten's bowl doesn't taste good. Be good and eat your own." After Yin'e said this, he motioned for someone to come over and take the bowl of ice from his hand, then took the little guy from his arms and put him back on his little stool.
After Cheng An sat back down, his cheeks puffed up slightly, and he seemed unhappy.
"Come and have a piece of melon." After Yin'e asked him to sit down, he picked up his small bowl and started feeding him.
Seeing the melon being delivered to his mouth, the little guy opened his mouth and ate it in one gulp. However, after eating it, he stood up again and ran to his other brother.
Yinsi saw him coming to his side, picked up the ice bowl and said, "Cheng'an, be good, you can't eat this yet."
"An An wants to eat." Cheng An lay on his knees and raised his little face.
Although the little guy took off the hood with dragon horns on his head, he still had a dragon tail dragging behind him. When he looked at people expectantly with his round eyes, it was really hard for the people he was staring at to refuse.
Yinsi turned his eyes away from his little face, and only then could he harden his heart to reject him.
After Cheng An tried to act like a spoiled child around him for a while without giving up, he could only find another brother in disappointment.
Yinzhen sat next to Yinsi and guessed that the little guy would come to see him, so when he came over, he quickly forked a piece of peach from his bowl and stuffed it into his mouth: "I've already given it to you, go back to your seat."
In fact, this piece of peach was taken from Cheng'an's bowl, passed through his bowl and then fed into Cheng'an's mouth.
Cheng An bit on a piece of peach that was no different from the one he had eaten before, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but after swallowing it, he decided not to bother Brother Jiu anymore.
After he left Yin'er, he walked to Yinzhen first.
When Yinzhen saw that he wanted to eat the ice bowl, he directly refused in a tone that did not allow for negotiation.
After being disappointed again, the little guy turned to look at the last two brothers present.
Yinxiang noticed his gaze and smiled as he showed him the empty bowl in his hand to indicate that he had no more.
It turned out that when he saw him craving for the ice bowl just now, Yinxiang quickly finished the ice bowl in his hand to avoid being in a dilemma when he came over to eat.
Seeing that Thirteenth Brother had finished eating, Cheng An finally came to Yin Zhen and climbed into his arms using his hands and feet: "Brother~"
"Huh?" Yinzhen looked at the little guy sitting in his arms. He knew the reason why he came over, but he pretended to question him and even took another bite of the ice bowl in front of him.
The sweet fresh fruit is paired with crushed ice sprinkled with sugar syrup at the bottom, which tastes particularly cool.
Cheng An watched him eat, swallowed with his little mouth and said, "Hello, brother~"
Seeing him giving himself the drug just to have a bite of the ice bowl, Yinzhen found it a little funny, and at the same time wanted to see what he would do if he didn't give it to him.
Cheng An found that Fourteenth Brother did not refuse outright, so he immediately hugged him and started acting coquettishly.
Being rocked by the little guy's soft body and hearing him calling "brother" in a baby voice, Yinzhen, who had overestimated his own self-control, began to waver.
It shouldn't be a big deal to have a bite, right?
Being stared at by his younger brother, Yinzhen felt a little soft-hearted. He looked around and saw Yinxiang was looking at the painting that myna had just drawn, while the other brothers were still using ice bowls and quickly fed Cheng'an a mouthful of fresh fruit from the ice bowl like a thief.
The same fresh fruit, eaten in an ice bowl, tasted icy cold. Cheng'an's eyes suddenly lit up when he tasted this feeling for the first time. After swallowing, he opened his little mouth towards Yinzhen again.
The little guy was quite clever. He knew his other brothers wouldn't let him eat, so he didn't even make a sound. Instead, he quietly pulled at Yinzhen's clothes.
Yinzhen shook his head at him to indicate that he couldn't do it, but he didn't expect that the other party would act like a spoiled child as if he was dependent on him.
Sometimes it's like this, after being shaken once, there will be a second time.
After Yinzhen secretly fed him again, he suddenly heard Yinsi calling him and was startled. Fortunately, Yinsi did not notice his behavior and just said, "Let me hold it."
Yinsi had finished his bowl of ice, and seeing that Cheng'an seemed to be still pestering Yinzhen for the bowl of ice, he thought it would be better to bring him over.
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words. Just as he was about to agree, he discovered that the little guy in his arms had secretly taken a spoon and eaten a bite while he was not paying attention. He hurriedly said, "Cheng'an, spit it out!"
"What's wrong?" Yin'e stood up when he heard his voice.
"He just took a bite with a spoon." After Yinzhen said this, he saw that the little guy in his arms had swallowed it, and he couldn't help but frown.
He had just fed himself only small pieces of fresh fruit, but he didn't see clearly whether there was crushed ice in what Cheng'an ate. Therefore, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and at the same time a little regretful. He shouldn't have started that way if he had known earlier.
Cheng An quickly swallowed the bowl of ice in his mouth. The sudden chill made him shrink his neck unconsciously.
When he saw his brothers looking at him, he immediately showed a well-behaved and innocent expression.
Yinzhen frowned slightly and held him in his arms. He reached out to touch his little hands and face, and felt relieved when he felt that they were still warm.
"You shouldn't have eaten much, right?" Yinsi looked at Yinzhen.
Yinzhen looked into his bowl, but he wasn't quite sure.
"It shouldn't be a big deal. I remember when I was a kid I once secretly ate three bowls of iced bowls and nothing happened." Yin'e said.
Yinzhen glanced at him and said, "You were at least five years old then, how old was he?"
The brothers all gathered around Cheng'an and felt relieved only after they were sure that he was not feeling unwell. However, after playing with him for a while, they specially asked someone to bring him a cup of warm water to drink.
Cheng'an, whose curiosity about the ice bowl has been satisfied, is particularly well behaved. When asked to drink water, he holds his own special sippy cup and drinks slowly.
"You're being well behaved now." Yinzhen said as he watched him drink water.
Yin'e nodded in agreement.
"Brother, drink it~" Cheng An looked up after drinking half a glass of water and found that his brothers were all looking at him. He raised the cup in his hand and said.
Seeing that he didn't look like he was in trouble, Yinzhen was relieved and was in the mood to tease him: "Forget about drinking water, how about giving me your cup?"
When Cheng An heard his words, he lowered his head to look at the sippy cup in his hand and handed it over without much hesitation: "Brother, give it to me."
What he held in his hand was not the white-glazed green-painted fish-patterned cup that Yinreng had given him, but the white-glazed lotus-leaf cup that Kangxi had prepared for him because he liked it.
Because Cheng'an likes it, there are now many of these white-glazed lotus leaf cups in the Qianqing Palace.
"So generous." Seeing that he really gave it to himself, Yinzhen's face was full of smiles after he took it.
Of course, Yinzhen couldn't really want his cup, so he took it, looked around, and then gave it back to him to drink the remaining half cup of water.
After drinking a cup of warm water, Cheng'an felt warm all over. He shook his head gently and smiled at his brothers.
The little guy's smile was very contagious. When he smiled, the brothers present also smiled to varying degrees.
Cheng'an couldn't sit still, and soon stood up and jumped around in the hall like a lively little dragon cub.
"Oh, the oriole is chirping~" He jumped and recited the poem. After he finished, he came in front of Yinzhen, lay on his knees and raised his little face.
Yinzhen looked at the little guy in front of him with a slight smile in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to touch his little face and said, "A line of egrets fly into the blue sky."
Seeing his brother taking over, Cheng An giggled and clapped his hands to applaud him.
He lay on Yinzhen's lap for a while, grabbed the other's palm that could cover his two small hands and played with it for a while before getting up.
Sitting next to Yinzhen was Yinxiang. After a while, the little fellow rubbed his legs again and lay down, saying in a baby voice: "Jiji, I miss Guguyue~"
Yinxiang didn't understand and couldn't help but look at his fourth brother.
"People today cannot see the moon of the ancient times."
"People today cannot see the moon of the ancient times."
The voices of Yinzhen and Yinsi sounded at the same time.
So it was this sentence.
After being reminded, Yinxiang was able to immediately follow up: "This moon once shone on the ancients."
Cheng'an actually didn't remember this sentence, but he still applauded him out of support.
The little guy only knew these two sentences over and over again, but the brothers found it interesting and were quite cooperative when he approached them.
After playing with him for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, Yinzhen and others prepared to leave.
"Brother, no!"
Cheng'an had put on his hood again at some point, and held onto Yinzhen's legs with his dragon horns to prevent him from leaving.
"Fourth brother has something to do. I will come to see you next time." Yinzhen said, touching the dragon horn on his head.
Cheng An shook his head: "No."
Seeing that his fourth brother couldn't walk because he was holding him, Yinxiang reached out and picked up the little guy.
After Cheng An fell into his arms, he immediately hugged him tightly with his backhand.
Now Yinzhen could leave, but Yinxiang was entangled with him again.
"Brother, no." The little guy hugged Yinxiang tightly and shouted to his other brothers, hoping that they would not leave.
Yinsi and the others had already walked to the door, and they felt helpless when they saw this scene.
"You don't even know how to walk faster." After Yinzhen complained, he unexpectedly took Cheng'an out of Yinxiang's arms, put him on the couch, and ran out quickly.
He hugged her from behind, and before Cheng'an could react, she was already on the couch.
The little fellow with dragon horns and a tail lay on the couch and watched his brothers walk out of the door. After he shouted again, he couldn't help but puff up his cheeks.
When Kangxi came back, he saw a puffy little dragon cub and couldn't help but reach out to pinch the dragon horns on his head.
"Who annoyed you again?" Kangxi let go of the dragon horn and poked his slightly bulging cheek instead.
After his puffy little cheeks were deflated, Cheng An looked up and said, "Brother, let's go."
Surrounded by the dragon horn hood, the little guy's face looks even whiter and tenderer. At first glance, he looks like an exquisite and cute dragon cub.
Kangxi saw that the reason why he was unhappy was because Yinzhen and the others had left, so he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he pointed at the clothes he was wearing and asked, "Who made these clothes for you?"
He originally thought that the craftsmanship of the people in the palace was very good, but he didn't expect that the clothes could be added with a hood with dragon horns.
"Brother." Cheng An immediately became excited when he saw him asking about his clothes. He stood up and his whole body swayed, "Ama, look~"
Looking at the dragon's tail swaying behind him and the dragon horns on his head, Kangxi smiled and felt that this was truly a son of the dragon.
This dragon tail robe painted by Yinzhen himself is not only exquisite and beautiful, but also does not affect sitting.
During lunch, Cheng'an pulled the tail forward and held it in his arms, while he sat on Kangxi's lap.
Kangxi fed him with a small bowl. Looking at his head with dragon horns, he felt like he was feeding a cub.
"Ama, my dear." Cheng An ate the chopped shrimp in his mouth and rested his chin on the tip of the dragon's tail in his arms.
Seeing that he was still lazy while eating, Kangxi patted him on the back and said, "Sit down."
The little guy straightened his back immediately, but then leaned back on him again, opened his mouth and said, "Ah..."
Kangxi glanced at him, but finally said nothing. He picked up some fish with chopsticks and fed it to him.
The little fellow ate it in one gulp, holding the dragon's tail in his arms, his whole body filled with joy.
Seeing that he was so happy to eat, Kangxi wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and fed him another mouthful.
"Father, please eat." Cheng An said after he finished eating.
"Okay." Kangxi picked up his chopsticks, took a bite and continued to feed him.
Not long after lunch, Cheng'an wanted to run out.
"Where are you going?" Kangxi grabbed the person from behind in time.
"Hey brother~"
Cheng'an wanted to find him and let him see his tail and dragon horns.
"Didn't I just go there yesterday?" Kangxi felt that he had really spoiled him. Although he was young, he had a big heart and wanted to go out every day.
"I miss my brother!"
"Let your second brother have some peace and quiet for a day." After saying this, Kangxi picked him up and took him directly to the imperial study.
Cheng An was willing to accompany him, so he stopped making a fuss.
In the afternoon, Kangxi was handling government affairs while Cheng'an was playing nearby. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
By the time Kangxi was done with his work, Cheng'an, who was tired from playing, had already woken up from a nap and was hugging his tail to wake himself up.
The little guy who had just woken up had a rosy face, and with the dragon tail in his hands, Kangxi felt that all the tiredness he had caused from being busy just now had dissipated a lot.
He bent down and picked the child up, and the little one rubbed against him and shouted, "Ama."
"Are you hungry?" Kangxi asked, touching his stomach.
Cheng An nodded his head: "Yeah."
It was already dark outside, and someone was holding a lantern in front of them to provide light for the father and son.
Maybe he had just woken up, the little guy was unusually quiet at this moment, leaning his little head on Kangxi's shoulder and blinking his eyes.
It was not until after dinner and bath that he regained his energy.
“Yes!”
He stood on the couch in his pajamas, stretched out his little hands and clamored to wear the dragon tail robe.
Seeing that he didn't feel tired of wearing it after a whole day, Kangxi said calmly: "Wear it again when you get up tomorrow."
"No." Cheng An wanted to wear it right now, and threw himself into his arms and acted coquettishly.
Kangxi stretched out his hand to protect him, thinking that he should not be spoiled too much, so he refused to agree no matter how he acted coquettishly.
Cheng An rocked and rubbed in his arms, and after a moment he suddenly bent over, covered his stomach and cried out.
At first, Kangxi thought he was having a tantrum, but when he heard that there was something wrong with his voice, he quickly hugged him in his arms.
“Ama…”
The little fellow frowned, and his face, which had been rosy after the bath, gradually turned pale.
"Call the imperial physician!" Kangxi turned around and gave the order, then looked down at his son in his arms, "Don't be afraid, Father is here."
"Wuwu..." Cheng'an sobbed uncomfortably, calling for his father.
He had been in good health all his life, and it was the first time that Kangxi saw him in such pain. He felt distressed and anxious at once.
Even though he knew that his discomfort could not be due to his refusal to let him wear the dragon tail robe, Kangxi still regretted not agreeing to his request.
Cheng'an rubbed uncomfortably in his arms, making the uncomfortable sounds all the time.
"Where is the imperial physician?" Kangxi had no way to relieve his discomfort, so he turned his head away in anger.
The emperor was furious and all the servants in the palace knelt down.
Fortunately, everyone in the Qianqing Palace was well aware of the little prince's position in the emperor's heart, so the eunuch who went to summon the imperial physician ran very quickly and soon brought the breathless imperial physician over.
When the imperial physician came in, Kangxi stopped him from bowing and said, "Come over and treat the little prince!"
“Yeah.”
The imperial physician bowed hastily and hurried forward.
"Cheng'an, be good and put your hand out. It will be fine soon." Kangxi coaxed in a low voice and gently pulled his little hand out.
When the imperial physician saw the emperor's attitude, his heart immediately tensed up, and he only slowly relaxed after he started taking the emperor's pulse.
"It seems that the little brother has eaten something cold, and some cold evil is blocking his body..."
The imperial physician was most afraid of encountering difficult and complicated diseases. Seeing that the problem was not serious, he reported to Kangxi and prescribed a medicine.
When Liang Jiugong took people to get medicine and boil the herbs, Kangxi asked the imperial physician if there was any way to relieve Cheng'an's current discomfort.
After the imperial physician suggested that he could rub his belly for him, Kangxi personally placed his hands on Cheng'an's belly and rubbed it gently in circles according to the method the imperial physician had instructed.
After he rubbed his stomach for a while, Cheng'an still felt uncomfortable, but not as bad as before.
He slowly stretched out his body in Kangxi's arms and called out in a soft voice: "Father..."
"Father is here. The pain will go away after you drink the medicine." Kangxi's voice was more gentle than ever before.
After Cheng An made a slight nasal sound, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.
A moment later, Liang Jiugong came in with the medicine.
Kangxi held the person in his arms and sat him half against his chest. He took the bowl of medicine and stirred it gently with a spoon.
The medicine bowl exuded a unique bitter smell of Chinese medicine. When Cheng'an smelled it, he immediately raised his little hands to cover his nose and mouth.
"Cheng'an, be good. The stomachache will go away after you drink the medicine." Kangxi coaxed.
The little guy felt uncomfortable when he smelled the smell and shook his head to express his rejection.
After Kangxi coaxed him for a while, seeing that he was determined not to let go, he could only temporarily pass the bowl to Liang Jiugong, and then reached out to pull his little hand away from his mouth.
"Father, no..." After the two little hands were controlled by one of his hands, Cheng'an looked at the medicine that he fed to him with the other hand and shook his head repeatedly.
Kangxi fed the medicine directly into his mouth when he opened his mouth, and gently blocked it with a spoon when he wanted to spit it out.
The medicine was very bitter. Cheng'an stuck out his tongue and spit it out as soon as he took his mouth. Even when Kangxi used a spoon to block it, he still spit out a lot, staining his pajamas.
Liang Jiugong was standing nearby with a medicine bowl in one hand. After seeing this, he quickly ordered the palace maid to wrap a handkerchief around his chest.
"Father, please don't..." Cheng'an was so miserable that tears welled up in his eyes. When he saw Kangxi feeding him another spoonful, he closed his mouth tightly and refused to drink it no matter what.
Seeing his condition, Kangxi did not want to force him, but good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease.
"Be good and drink another sip."
Cheng An didn't want to drink the bitter soup, so he shook his head and buried his face in his chest.
Kangxi was too distressed to be angry with him, so he could only coax him, "Just drink the medicine obediently, and I'll let you see your elder brother in two days, okay?"
The little guy buried in his arms moved his ears slightly, but thinking of the bitter taste just now, he still didn't raise his head.
Seeing that he had clearly heard it, Kangxi continued to coax him: "After you finish drinking, I will ask someone to bring you some candy. If you eat the candy, it won't be bitter anymore."
When he heard the word "sugar", Cheng'an moved his head slightly.
After seeing this, Kangxi released his left hand that was holding his little hand and turned his head out instead.
After Cheng An showed his face, he looked up at him: "Brother Da?"
"Yes, after you finish drinking the medicine, I will let my big bird take you there again."
"Sugar?"
"There will be candy after you drink the medicine." Kangxi was not trying to coax him. After saying this, he ordered someone to bring candy.
Cheng'an was still a little hesitant when he smelled the medicine around him, so Kangxi quickly brought the bowl to his mouth: "Cheng'an, be good, drink it all in one breath and I'll give you some candy."
While the little guy was wavering, Kangxi raised his hand and fed the medicine into his mouth, half coaxing and half forcing him.
Cheng An tried hard to swallow, but the bitter taste on his tongue made him spit it out unconsciously.
So when Kangxi finished feeding him a bowl of medicine, a small half of it went onto the handkerchief on his chest.
Kangxi was already very satisfied with being able to feed so much. He breathed a sigh of relief and handed the empty bowl to Liang Jiugong, then picked up a piece of candy from the hand of the palace maid next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.
Cheng'an held the candy in his mouth, and his eyebrows, which were wrinkled because of the bitter medicine, slowly relaxed.
While he was eating candy, Kangxi changed his clothes.
Perhaps due to the heat from the medicine, the little guy's face regained some color.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Kangxi asked, touching his little face.
Cheng'an didn't feel as much pain as before, but his stomach still felt a little uncomfortable, so he nodded.
"Why is the medicine ineffective?" Perhaps out of concern, Kangxi immediately questioned the imperial physician.
No matter how good the medicine is, it is impossible for it to work immediately after drinking it. When the imperial physician heard this, he immediately made a bitter face and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The little prince is young, and I dare not give him too strong a medicine."
After Kangxi was sure that he couldn't make Cheng'an feel uncomfortable at all, he turned to the person in his arms and said, "Go to bed early, okay? You won't feel uncomfortable when you wake up after sleeping."
Cheng An didn't want to sleep, so he shook his head and said, "I want my brother..."
Perhaps he was still feeling bad, and he suddenly wanted to see his brother.
The mist that had accumulated from the pain and the bitter medicine had condensed into tears. Although they had not fallen yet, they were still swirling in his eye sockets.
Seeing his pitiful little appearance, Kangxi couldn't bring himself to say no.
The palace gates were already locked at this time, so it was obviously inappropriate to let Yinzhen and others enter the palace. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and gave Liang Jiugong a few instructions.
