The sugar painting was quite large, and Yin'e bit off one of the dragon's horns and there was still a lot left.
After Kangxi took a quick look, Yinzhi and the others also went over obediently to help solve the problem.
After you, the brothers, broke off a piece of the dragon's head, and he broke off a piece of the dragon's claw... and then he broke off a piece of the dragon's body, there was only a little sugar residue left on the bamboo stick in Cheng'an's hand.
Such a big dragon-shaped sugar painting now only has this little bit left. Cheng An showed an expression of disbelief. After blinking twice, he finally couldn't bear to blame his brothers, so he lowered his head and started eating.
The fair and tender little fellow was holding a bamboo stick and eating the sugar residue on it seriously. He looked cute and pitiful. Passers-by passing by couldn't help but look at him strangely.
It was because Kangxi and his entourage were dressed quite luxuriously, otherwise someone would have been tempted to buy a candy painting for the poor little creature that was eating the sugar residue.
Yin'e felt a little embarrassed when he noticed those looks, and hurriedly took the bamboo stick that had been eaten clean from Cheng'an's hand.
"An An, eat!" Cheng An hadn't eaten enough yet, so he reached out his hand after seeing him take the bamboo stick away.
Yin'e quickly diverted his attention and said, "We've finished eating. Don't you want to go to the restaurant? Let's go to the restaurant now."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Kangxi.
It was almost noon, and Kangxi thought he could go to a restaurant to rest for a while and have lunch.
"lead the way."
After he gave the order, Yin'e quickly led the way.
"An'an, Yijiulouyo~" Upon hearing that they were going to a restaurant, the little guy in Yinreng's arms clapped his hands happily.
Seeing that he was so happy, Yinreng smiled and lowered his head to rub his forehead lightly with his chin.
After Cheng An noticed it, he put his arms around his neck and rubbed his face.
If he hadn't rubbed Yinreng, he wouldn't have noticed it. But as soon as he rubbed him, Yinreng suddenly felt the prickly little sugar residue on his face, and his expression suddenly became a little helpless.
"Old Four, give me a hug."
When Yinzhen heard his words, he reached out to take Cheng'an, and saw Yinreng take out a handkerchief to wipe Cheng'an's face.
The little guy obediently raised his face and let him wipe it. When he saw the crystal clear sugar residue on the handkerchief, he actually wanted to stick out his tongue to lick it.
After Yinreng noticed it, he naturally wouldn't let him lick it. He wiped his face and quickly took his hand back.
"What a promising future!" Kangxi couldn't help but scold his youngest son when he saw his actions out of the corner of his eye, and at the same time he felt a little itchy.
Just when Kangxi reached out his hand to hit him, Yinzhen, who was holding him, subconsciously avoided it, causing Kangxi to look at him.
After avoiding it, Yinzhen finally reacted and immediately explained for his brother in his arms: "Cheng'an just can't stand wasting things."
Kangxi thought that he was just greedy, and seeing that Yinzhen was still trying to find excuses for him, he raised his hand and pointed at him, saying, "Just protect him."
Having said that, Kangxi was not actually angry. Instead, he felt relieved in his heart. After all, he was already this old, and even if he continued to spoil his youngest son, how long could he continue to dote on him?
Although Cheng An didn't understand why A Ma wanted to hit him just now, he could tell that it was Fourth Brother who led him to avoid it. Now he hugged his neck and whispered in his ear: "Hello, Fourth Brother~"
Seeing that he still knew how to whisper, Yinzhen felt that he was really getting smarter as he grew older, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
Led by Yin'e, the group soon arrived at a restaurant.
"The Jiangnan cuisine here is very good." Yin'e introduced when they arrived at the door.
He was unusually attentive today, and specially selected this restaurant considering the tastes of Kangxi and Cheng'an.
The restaurant owner came out to greet him when he saw him, and bowed with a humble smile, saying, "Master Shi, you are here."
From what he said, it was clear that Yin'e had come here to eat many times. The shopkeepers all knew him and were very respectful to him.
"Gentlemen, please come in." The shopkeeper then led the way and took them directly to the private room upstairs.
This private room is very large and elegantly decorated. If you like quietness, you can close the windows on both sides. If you want something more lively, you can open the window facing the street to enjoy the street view. Of course, you can also open the window on the other side to listen to the storyteller telling stories on the stage in the lobby.
As soon as Cheng'an came in, he ran down curiously, looking here and there.
Kangxi and others had already sat down at the table and were preparing to order food, while Yinzhen stayed beside Cheng'an and followed him around the room.
"What's so good about this? We have it at home." Yinzhen saw him staring at the unused gilded incense burner on the long table and reached out to pinch his face.
"Fourteenth brother, bring Cheng'an over to drink some water." Yinsi thought that he hadn't had any water in such a long time, so he turned around and said.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen reached out and picked up the little guy in front of him, brought him to the table, and sat down next to Yinsi.
Yinsi had already poured the water and brought it directly to Cheng'an's mouth, but the little guy shook his head and refused to drink it.
"Aren't you thirsty?" Yinzhen asked with his head down.
Before Cheng'an could say anything, Kangxi spoke first and ordered, "Go get his sipper."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong went down to get it himself. Yinzhen and others then understood why Cheng'an didn't drink the water. It turned out that he wanted his own cup.
This was just his personal preference, and the princes didn't say anything. Yinsi drank the water in his hand himself, and waited for the cup to be brought up before feeding him again.
Cheng'an had been walking around the street for a long time, eating candied haws and sugar paintings, so he was actually quite thirsty at this moment, and he started to gulp down the drink from the suction cup.
"We will have dinner later, so let him drink less." Yinreng reminded.
Upon hearing this, Yinsi asked him to take another sip and quickly took the cup away.
The restaurant owner did not dare to neglect Yin'e, and the guests who came with him were obviously not ordinary people, so the wine and food were served quickly.
"No drinking today, leave."
Just as the shopkeeper was about to introduce the fine wine on the tray, Kangxi spoke first.
Cheng'an was very curious, and Kangxi didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he avoided him even when he wanted to have a few drinks occasionally.
There was no way. The little guy was growing up day by day and becoming more and more cunning. It was no longer easy to fool him by using plain water as wine, because he would smell the wine and drink the cup in Kangxi's hand.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the wine." Yin'e saw that the shopkeeper's reaction was so slow and his tone was a little unhappy.
"Yes, yes, yes. Enjoy your meal, gentlemen. Feel free to call me if you need anything." After saying this, the shopkeeper quickly left the private room with the waiter who served the dishes and the wine.
"It smells so good~" Cheng'an sat in Yinzhen's arms, stretching his neck to smell the fragrance of the dishes on the table.
"Use them all."
The princes dared to pick up their bowls and chopsticks only after Kangxi gave the order. However, Yinzhen first picked up a Longjing shrimp with his chopsticks and fed it to the little one in his arms.
Longjing Shrimp is made with Longjing tea from around the Qingming Festival, plus fresh river shrimp. The finished dish is tender and delicious, with the unique fragrance of Longjing.
Cheng An, who had been waiting to be fed, ate the shrimp in one gulp and then shook his head in ecstasy: "It's so delicious~"
Seeing his little appearance, the brothers all tried the Longjing shrimp first and found it was indeed delicious.
However, Yinreng could tell that the cooking method of this dish was different from that in the palace. The shrimp meat seemed to have been fried, and tasted fresh and tender with a little crispiness. Although it tasted more fragrant, it did not seem suitable for Cheng'an to eat.
While he was thinking, Kangxi said, "Change another dish for him to eat."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen immediately turned his chopsticks from reaching for the Longjing shrimp to the steamed sea bass next to it.
"You don't even remove fish bones?" Yin'e saw the small bones on the fish meat and exclaimed immediately when he saw him putting it directly into Cheng'an's mouth.
Yinzhen reacted after being reminded, and under the gaze of Kangxi, he quickly stuffed the fish into his mouth.
Yinreng felt that he was really unreliable, so he stood up and carried Cheng'an back to his seat.
Compared to Yinzhen, the experienced Yinreng was obviously much more reliable. He removed the bones from the fish and the meat, and ate one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of rice, and another mouthful of rice and one mouthful of vegetable. Moreover, after feeding Cheng'an, his face was still clean.
"An An, eat some meat~" said the little guy who loves meat while looking at the food in front of him.
Yinreng said, "After you finish this meal, you can eat meat."
Upon hearing this, Cheng'an immediately ate the rice on the spoon in one bite.
When seeing Yinreng's skill of feeding the children, not only Kangxi nodded slightly, but even the princes were a little surprised, especially Yinzhi, who looked at him as if he had just met him for the first day and looked at him with a look as if he had seen a ghost.
Is this still the same arrogant and conceited prince?
Yinzhi was thinking in his heart, and Yinreng noticed his gaze and glanced at him with a cold look.
It's him!
Meeting his disgusting look, Yinzhi immediately confirmed it in his heart.
Seeing that Yinreng was well fed, Kangxi could finally relax and have a good meal.
It is quite fresh to try the dishes from outside occasionally. With Cheng'an, a little guy who eats with great relish, Kangxi and the princes all have good appetites.
Cheng An is a thoughtful little guy. He doesn’t just eat by himself, but also feeds his brother from time to time: “Eat, second brother~”
Although he fed it a little roughly and one of the babies would easily fall on his body if he didn't catch it properly, Yinreng still enjoyed it very much.
When the other princes saw this scene, they felt a little envious.
When they were halfway through the meal, Cheng An suddenly turned to look at Yin'e and said, "Brother, is this Cuckoo Chicken?"
What the hell?
Yin'e didn't understand and showed a puzzled expression.
Yinzhi, on the other hand, after repeating the words "cuckoo chicken" several times in his mind, guessed, "Could he be talking about gourd chicken?"
Calabash Chicken is a delicacy that Yin'e brought up when he introduced the restaurant to Cheng'an last time. He described it as having crispy skin and tender meat, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
The gourd chicken was fried in oil, which was obviously not suitable for Cheng'an to eat, so Yin'e could only pick up a chicken leg, stood up and put it on the plate in front of him and said, "This is the gourd chicken."
When Yinzhi saw the stewed chicken leg, he couldn't help but give him a look that said "How dare you lie to a child?"
Yin'e would not feel embarrassed. In his opinion, coaxing children could not be called cheating.
Although Cheng'an had never eaten gourd chicken, he had eaten boiled chicken before. Looking at the chicken leg in front of him, he immediately showed a puzzled expression.
"This is the gourd chicken." Yin'e said confidently.
After all, the little guy had never seen cuckoo chicken, so seeing that he was so sure, he chose to believe him, and pointed at the stewed chicken leg and said to Yinreng: "An An, eat cuckoo chicken~"
After Yinreng glanced at Yin'e, he picked up a small piece of meat from the chicken leg and fed it to him.
At the same time, Kangxi remembered that Yin'e had often talked nonsense in front of Cheng'an, and he glanced at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense to Cheng'an all day long."
"My son knows he was wrong, and he won't do it again next time." Yin'e admitted his mistake sincerely.
When lunch was almost over, Kangxi thought the soup was quite good and signaled Liang Jiugong to serve a bowl to Cheng'an.
The little guy was very considerate. When Yinreng fed him the soup, he not only gulped down the soup, but also held his face and said, "It tastes so good~"
Yinzhen had almost put down his chopsticks, but when he heard that, he picked up his bowl and drank half a bowl of soup. After drinking it, he nodded and said, "It's really good, fresh and delicious."
"Really? Let me try it." Yin'e immediately started drinking the soup.
"Drink it, second brother~" Cheng An took another sip of soup and pushed the spoon towards Yinreng.
Yinreng couldn't refuse the kindness, so he lowered his head and took a bite.
"Is it delicious?" Cheng An asked him with a smile.
Yinreng nodded: "It tastes good."
When Kangxi saw the two brothers being so intimate and friendly, his expression softened unconsciously, and he signaled Liang Jiugong to serve a bowl for his second son as well.
When the soup was delivered to Yinreng, he was stunned for a moment before turning around and saying, "Thank you, Father."
Yinzhi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but secretly curl his lips when he saw that he was the only one who had the soup given by his father.
As for Cheng'an also having one, Yinzhi thought it was normal. After all, he was young and it was his right to be taken care of.
After a relatively warm lunch, Kangxi and others did not leave immediately, but sat down to rest.
Cheng'an was a man who couldn't sit still. After eating and drinking his fill, he climbed down from Yinreng with his slightly bulging belly.
"Look at his little belly." Perhaps because the atmosphere was good, Yinzhen was bolder even with Kangxi present and reached out to touch the little guy's belly.
The little guy giggled when his belly was touched. Instead of hiding, he stuck out his belly for him to touch.
"Fourteenth brother, don't make him laugh." Yinsi reminded him, thinking that they had just finished their meal.
Yinzhen withdrew his hand upon hearing this, but the little guy got excited and ran to Kangxi, patted his belly and said, "Father, look~"
Seeing him being silly, Kangxi poked his forehead and said, "Be careful or you'll have a stomachache."
When Cheng An heard the words "stomach ache", he was so scared that he immediately stopped taking pictures, and even his belly shrank back a little.
After he stopped playing with his stomach, he started walking around the private room again.
Just now, when the waiter came in to remove the dishes and replace the water with tea, he opened the window to get rid of the smell. After the little guy walked around the room, he quickly ran to the window and tried to climb onto the chair.
He came to the window facing the restaurant lobby. The seats in front of the window were convenient for guests to listen to storytelling, but it was dinner time and there was no storyteller on the stage in the lobby.
Seeing him climbing, Yinzhen immediately stood up and walked over.
"Fourth brother, look~" The little guy who had already climbed onto the chair and stood up saw him coming and pointed outside the window.
Their private room had an excellent view and they could see the lobby very clearly. Cheng'an was obviously finding it very interesting to see so many guests eating downstairs.
Yinzhen didn’t think there was anything interesting downstairs, his whole attention was on him.
The various kinds of guests in the lobby were indeed not new to him, but they were still interesting to Cheng'an. He lay on the window and watched them without wanting to move.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the lobby. At first it was just cursing, and soon a table was overturned.
Bang--
The loud noise startled Cheng'an, and Yinzhen's first reaction was to hug him in his arms. Kangxi and others sitting at the table behind also looked at him sideways, until they heard that there was a conflict among the customers downstairs, then they looked away.
"Fourth brother, what a mess!" After the sound of overturning the table disappeared, Cheng An, who was very curious, went to the window again, and when he saw the dishes scattered on the floor of the lobby, he couldn't help but say.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen touched his head, then glanced coldly at the person who overturned the table below, thinking that he was not as sensible as a child.
The man who overturned the table was very arrogant. It was obviously him who walked without looking at the road and knocked the food in the mistress's hand onto a table of guests. As a result, the guest just whispered something and he scolded the man and overturned the man's table.
The customer originally thought that the man was dressed quite richly and thought it was better to mind his own business. However, after the table was overturned, he could not stand this humiliation and clenched his fists to hit the man.
Seeing that he was still trying to attack him, the arrogant man said with his nose turned up to the sky: "Do you know who my father is?"
The entire lobby suddenly became quiet when the two sides started arguing, and now only the man's arrogant voice could be heard.
The guests in the lobby who didn't know this man were curious but didn't dare to ask questions. However, a certain curious kid didn't have any concerns.
"Eh Amash?"
The lobby was so quiet that the childish voice sounded particularly clear.
The arrogant man was also a frivolous person. Most people would not care after finding out it was a child, but he raised his hand and said, "Where did you come from, little brat? Get off my feet!"
His voice was clearly heard in the private room, and Yinzhen, who was standing behind Cheng'an, immediately turned cold.
At the table, Kangxi also had an unpleasant expression on his face, and Yinzhi even slammed the table and stood up: "I want to see which one his father is!"
Yinzhen, Yin'e and the others were a beat late. They got up only after Yinzhi had already opened the door and gone downstairs.
Yinzhi quickly walked downstairs and did not give the arrogant man a chance to speak. He knocked him down with one punch.
He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and he had been holding a grudge since he was imprisoned. Now that someone was bullying his brother, what else could he say? He just beat him up and that was it.
The followers behind the arrogant man saw their master being beaten and rushed forward to teach Yinzhi a lesson, but were knocked down by Yinzhi with just three punches and two kicks.
"Wow!" Cheng An from upstairs shouted, clapping his hands excitedly, "Brother Da is so awesome!"
Yinzhi seemed to hear his voice. He turned around, hooked his lower lip at him, picked up the arrogant man and continued to beat him.
Only when the arrogant man was picked up did she see his face clearly. She was immediately shocked, but then she was hit by Yinzhi's fist and started screaming.
Obviously, this man had seen Yinzhi before, but he didn't know that Yinzhi had been released. Thinking that the other party was imprisoned in the mansion and there was no way he could appear here, he immediately shouted again, thinking that the person looked similar: "My father is Galin... How dare you——"
Galin was also considered a celebrity in the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately he did not have a good reputation. Instead, he had a bad reputation for corruption, bribery, and oppression of the people.
The guests in the lobby had seen Yinzhi coming down from upstairs and fighting over a disagreement, and they had some thoughts in their minds. But when they learned that the person being beaten was Galin's son, someone immediately whispered, "Well done!"
When Yinzhen and Yin'e came down, they had already been beaten down by Yinzhi, and they could only kick him a few more times.
Galin used to be the Left Vice Minister in the Ministry of Revenue. Yinzhen had long known about his corruption, and there were many censors in the court who reported him. However, although Galin was corrupt, he was also capable. He argued and evaded the issue in front of Kangxi. Although Kangxi was skeptical after listening to him, he finally let him go for the sake of his mother.
Galin's mother was one of Kangxi's wet nurses, and it was for this reason that he was favored by Kangxi. However, this man did not appreciate the emperor's favor, but instead became greedy.
Yinzhen, who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, naturally disliked this person, so he picked up Cheng'an from the chair and put him on the ground, then turned around and saluted to Kangxi and said: "Your son, I have failed to educate my son properly."
No matter how close the wet nurse's son is to him, he is not as close as his own son, let alone his most beloved youngest son. When Kangxi saw that Galin's son dared to be so arrogant, he felt a little angry with him.
The emperor is a man who is always willing to forgive you even if you do something wrong when he thinks you are good. But if he thinks you are not good enough, it is time to bring up the past.
"Get up, and go back and investigate Galin and his son carefully." Kangxi looked at his youngest son who was running towards him, stretched out his hands and held him in his arms and said.
"Your son obeys your command." Yinzhen bowed before standing up.
"Were you scared just now?" Since he had already explained the matter, Kangxi was too lazy to think about it anymore. Instead, he lowered his head and cared about his youngest son.
Cheng An shook his head and nodded, then patted his chest and said, "Oh, people, table..."
Seeing that he was frightened by the noise of the table being overturned, Kangxi reached out and patted his back soothingly: "With Father-in-law here, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Yeah." Cheng An leaned in his arms and complained, "Father, I am so sad~"
"He is so ignorant. Father has ordered someone to punish him by not allowing him to eat." Kangxi followed his words.
Downstairs, Galin's son, who was beaten to the point of crying for his parents, was gritting his teeth and thinking about how to take revenge on Yinzhi, when he suddenly saw Yin'e and Yinzhen coming after him.
He was just about to ask these two gentlemen for help, but he saw them coming over and not only kicking him, but also calling the person who had just hit him "brother". His face changed immediately.
How is it possible? Wasn't the eldest prince imprisoned? How could he be here...
No matter how arrogant he was, he didn't think he could be better than the prince, so he immediately began to beg for mercy: "Gentlemen, please spare my life, spare my life..."
“You deserve it.”
"That's right, the son of a corrupt official deserves to be beaten to death!"
"This guy is not a good person. Not only did he hit someone on the street while riding his horse a few days ago, but he also whipped the person with his backhand."
Yinzhi heard the discussions of the guests in the lobby, kicked the person who had just stood up down again, and then turned and left.
After all, this man is the son of a minister. If he has committed any crime, it should be investigated by the court. He cannot just beat him to death.
Yinzhen and Yin'e followed his example and kicked once, then followed him upstairs.
When Galin's son saw them leaving, a hint of indignation flashed in his eyes, but they were princes, not people he could bully normally, so he could only quickly let his followers help him back home.
upstairs.
After Yinzhi returned to the private room, he took credit for it and said to Cheng'an: "Brother, I helped you teach that ignorant guy a lesson!"
"Brother, you are so awesome~" Cheng'an said as he climbed down from Kangxi, stood on the ground and gestured with his hands and feet, as if he was imitating the moves that Yinzhi had just made.
