"What?" When the little guy heard Kangxi say that he was playing a fake trick, he tilted his head and showed a puzzled expression.
Upon seeing this, Kangxi imitated the way he had just treated Yin'e and gave him a fake slap, which immediately made the little guy giggle.
Hearing his laughter, Kangxi's eyes also showed a hint of smile.
"Are you angry, Dad?" Cheng An asked him in a baby voice while tilting his head back after laughing.
With such a funny guy around, Kangxi would calm down no matter how angry he was.
"Everyone, stand up." Kangxi motioned for Yinsi and the other two to stand up and threw Yin'e's copy of the charter down, "Take it back and copy it thirty times."
Normally, Yin'e should have stood there quietly and let the letter hit him, but when he noticed that Cheng'an was also looking at him, he subconsciously reached out and caught the letter.
When Cheng'an saw his brother immediately catch the letter thrown by his father, he clapped his hands in applause.
Hearing his cheers, Kangxi glanced at Yin'e and said again: "Sixty times."
Obviously, he was doubling the penalty that Yin'e had just imposed.
When he heard that the number had increased from thirty to sixty, Yin'e immediately regretted his behavior, but he could only bow respectfully in response.
After finishing his business, Kangxi picked up the next charter and began to read it.
Cheng'an sat obediently in his arms at first, and even stretched his neck curiously to watch with him.
But the little guy couldn't read, and he found it boring after a while, especially when there were so many brothers below who attracted him.
Seeing that Kangxi was concentrating, Cheng'an did not disturb him, but slowly climbed down from his arms.
Kangxi naturally felt something, but he didn't stop it.
After the little guy got down from the ground, he looked up at him first, and seeing that he was still looking at the memorial in his hand seriously, he tiptoed to his brothers.
"Brother~"
The princes were all sitting on chairs at this time. Cheng'an approached and lay directly on Yinzhi's knees.
Yinzhi looked at the little guy who was smiling at him with his little face raised, and after secretly glancing towards Kangxi, he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his head.
Cheng'an rubbed his palm twice in return, and soon ran to Yinreng's side.
"Does the second brother miss An An?"
"I want to." Seeing him leaning on his knees and twisting his body, now he was lying on his back with his back facing the sky, Yinreng quickly reached out to support his shoulders and lower back.
After the little one acted coquettishly beside him for a while, he continued to run to find his other brothers.
Kangxi had already seen Yinzhen's memorial at this moment, and was somewhat distracted by the little guy's voice that came out from time to time. He glanced down and found that he was treating all his brothers equally, and he would rub against each of their brothers for a while.
"Yinzhen."
Yinzhen had just smiled as he watched the little guy crawl into his arms when he heard Kangxi calling him. He was at a loss as to whether to stand or sit.
"Ama, my name is ya~" the little guy reminded him in a baby voice while still sitting in his arms.
Seeing this, Yinxiang, who was standing next to him, quickly reached out and held him in his arms.
After the little guy was carried away, Yinzhen quickly stood up and bowed: "Your son is here."
"Your son is here~"
After Cheng'an sat in Yinxiang's arms, he suddenly opened his mouth and learned a sentence, breaking the slightly serious atmosphere.
These three words were perfectly normal, and Yin'e often said them himself on a daily basis, but for some reason, he wanted to laugh when he heard them from the little guy's mouth.
Yinzhen saw that his shoulders were shaking slightly, and reminded him in a low voice: "Isn't sixty times enough for you to copy?"
Upon hearing this, Yin'e instantly became serious.
After the Long case.
Kangxi saw that he had nothing to do and came over, and even interrupted him, deliberately asking him with a stern face: "Did I call you?"
The little guy was not afraid at all, instead he laughed and said, "Your son is here~"
Kangxi was both angry and amused. He glared at him and then looked back at Yinzhen, asking a few questions based on the contents of his charter.
Although Yinzhen's rules were based on Yinzhen's, he wrote them himself overall. In addition, he had already thoroughly understood the content at Yinzhen's request, so his answers were very fluent.
"Not bad." Perhaps because of the comparison with Yin'e, even though his rules were not particularly good, Kangxi rarely praised him because he answered the questions quite well.
It was not easy to get a "good" from Kangxi, and Yinzhen was very happy. After he bowed and sat down, there was a smile on his face.
While Kangxi continued to read the regulations, Cheng'an had already spent time with his three brothers Yinyu, Yinlu and Yinli.
Seeing him lying on his knees and playing with the jade pendant on his waist, Yinli took it off and handed it to him.
"Hello, Brother Seventeen~" the little guy said sweetly after taking the jade pendant.
Yinli touched his face with a smile, and seeing him trying to put the jade pendant on, he reached out to help him fasten it on.
The little guy already had an exquisite little jade pendant on his body. After putting on this jade pendant, the original one suddenly looked particularly small.
However, the little guy was quite happy when he heard the crisp sound of the two jade pendants colliding with each other.
He skipped around in front of his brothers, letting them listen to the sound of the jade pendant. Suddenly, he was in a good mood and started to recite a poem: "The sound of the sheep's horn..."
Halfway through reading, the little guy suddenly got stuck and couldn't help but tilt his head to think seriously.
"What is Yangjiaowu?" Yin'e was very curious and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Yinzhen had no idea and just shook his head slightly.
The other princes also thought about it, but they had no clue.
Finally, Kangxi saw that he had been "humming" for a long time but still couldn't make any sense, so he looked at the rules and reminded him lightly: "There are a few plum blossoms in the corner."
After hearing Kangxi's words, the princes first realized what had happened, and then couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that it is not a "sheep's horn" at all, but a "wall corner".
When Cheng An got the reminder, he immediately started to recite in a baby voice: "The sheep's horns are singing on the branches of plum blossoms, which are blooming in the cold, ah..."
"Yaozhi..." It will be easy to deal with it if you know what he is reciting, Yin'e reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh, I know it's not snow, only the subtle fragrance~"
This was the first time he recited such a complete poem. If Kangxi had not been sitting there, the princes would probably have applauded him together.
Even though they were concerned about the presence of Kangxi, the princes did not hesitate to praise him. They either gave him a thumbs-up, clapped silently, or praised him softly.
When the little guy saw it, his eyes narrowed, he straightened his chest, shook his head and recited it again.
Seeing that he didn't even need a reminder this time, Yin'e simply opened his mouth and cheered for him softly.
Although the other princes did not speak, they all had smiles on their faces. They thought that he was good at reciting poems, and his little appearance made him even more lovable.
"Sheep horn woosh..."
The little guy liked the feeling of being stared at with a smile by his brothers, so he recited it again.
Even though he kept reciting the same poem, the brothers never got tired of it. Instead, they thought he recited it beautifully.
They were not annoyed, but Kangxi could not stand it. After all, since the little guy was taught this poem, he had recited it countless times in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"You can only write one poem, what's there to show off?" Kangxi said after reading the last book of regulations in his hand.
Hearing this, the princes all felt a little dissatisfied, but since it was Kangxi who said this, they did not dare to refute.
Cheng'an knew what "show off" meant because Yinzhi once said in front of him that Yinreng was a show-off. He found out after asking out of curiosity.
When the little guy heard Kangxi say that he was "showing off", he puffed up his cheeks unhappily.
The brothers rarely saw him lose his temper, but now their eyes saw his chubby cheeks puffed up into balls. They found it funny but also felt sorry for him. They thought the emperor was really something. It was ok for him to be able to recite a whole poem at his age, but how could they say he was showing off?
How could they know that Kangxi praised Cheng'an a lot when he just learned it, but he just felt a headache after listening to him recite it so many times.
"An'an, ah!" After puffing up his cheeks, the little guy ran back to Kangxi, hugged his legs and shook him as he spoke.
Seeing that he had just said something casually but received such a big reaction, Kangxi followed his words and said, "Okay, okay, you are awesome."
Seeing that the emperor had lost his temper because of the little guy, the princes felt a little amused.
However, when Kangxi's gaze fell on them, the princes immediately stopped smiling and lowered their heads quietly, each one of them was as serious as they could be.
Kangxi signaled Liang Jiugong to take down the charter on the table and said to them, "You should read the charters of others, and then work together to come up with an effective general charter for me."
"Yes." The brothers stood up at the same time and accepted the order.
Neither reading the charter nor discussing the general charter can be accomplished in a short period of time. Naturally, the princes cannot always stay with Kangxi to do it. Not to mention that it will affect Kangxi's handling of other government affairs, they themselves cannot let go.
Therefore, after making sure that Kangxi had no other instructions, they took the charter and left.
When Cheng'an saw his brothers were about to leave, he immediately took a step forward and followed them.
Kangxi had other things to do next, so nothing stopped him.
"Brother~"
As soon as the princes came out of the hall, they heard the little guy's voice and turned their heads subconsciously.
After Cheng'an caught up, he hugged Yinli's legs, who was closest to him.
Seeing that he had followed out, Yinli subconsciously looked inside the hall. Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to have any objections, he reached out and held his little hand.
The princes outside the hall did not dare to make any noise, so they quietly took Cheng'an and left the vicinity first.
"Fourth brother, thanks so much to you this time." After they were some distance away from the main hall, Yinzhen couldn't help but put his arm around Yinzhen's shoulder and said.
There was no other way. When he thought that if Yinzhen had not been strict with him, he would not only not even get a "good" from the Emperor, but would probably have ended up like Yin'e. Yinzhen felt very fortunate.
Yinzhen was not used to the feeling of being arm in arm with someone, but he was his younger brother after all, so he couldn't just wave his hand away.
"An An, I want it~"
At this moment, Cheng'an, who was being held by Yinli, suddenly spoke.
"What do you want?" Yinli asked him with his head down.
The little guy stretched out his free hand and made a flirting gesture, saying, "An An, how about this~"
Yinzhi looked at his movements and then at Yinzhen and Yinzhen who were arm in arm. He immediately understood and gestured at his height with his hand, saying, "Whose shoulders can you arm around with your tiny body?"
When the little guy heard what he said, he stamped his feet and said, "That's not good, brother!"
"Tenth brother will teach you, that's not called bad, that's called bad." Yin'e squatted in front of him and said.
Cheng An immediately followed his example and said, "Brother Da is bad!"
"Yin'e, I think you're itching for trouble." Yinzhi looked at Yin'e with his fists clenched.
Yin'e immediately said, "I didn't say that about you. It was Cheng'an who said that."
After saying that, he picked up Cheng'an, walked to Yinsi and said, "Who said our Cheng'an can't hook shoulders? Cheng'an can hook one for him to see."
The little guy laughed when he heard that and put his hand on Yinsi's shoulder.
Yinsi felt his small hand coming towards him, his face full of smiles.
"Fourth brother, look after An An~"
Yinzhen was feeling somewhat uncomfortable when Yinzhen suddenly approached him and put his arm around his shoulder, but when he saw him imitating him, a smile suddenly filled his eyes.
"That's nothing. Watch me." Seeing him imitating his moves, Yinzhen smiled and stretched out his other hand to put it on Yinxiang's shoulder and pulled him over.
When Cheng'an saw his three brothers huddled together, he immediately put his other hand on Yin'e's shoulder.
"Cheng'an really likes to follow suit." Yinyou said with a smile when he saw this scene.
Yinlu: "It's normal, all children are like this."
After playing around for a while, Yinreng suggested, "Why don't you go to my place to look at the rules?"
Seeing that Cheng'an was going to follow them, the brothers also wanted to stay with him for a while, so they nodded in agreement.
Yinzhi was a little reluctant to go to Yinreng and did not express his opinion clearly, but when everyone was walking towards Xian'an Palace together, he did not say he would not go, but he walked very slowly.
Cheng'an kept holding one brother's hand, then the other. When he turned around and found that Da Ge was left alone at the back, he immediately let go of Yinqi's hand and ran to him.
"Are you tired, brother?"
Before Yinzhi could answer, the little guy took his hand and said, "An'an, hold Yi's hand and go~"
Seeing how considerate he was, Yinzhi finally let go of the awkwardness in his heart, picked the man up and quickly caught up with him.
Xian'an Palace.
The younger brother is very cute, but he also has to do his work. After playing with Cheng'an for a while, the brothers began to look at each other's rules.
The little guy was also very well-behaved. Seeing that his brothers were busy, he didn't make any noise but sat quietly on the couch, eating cakes and drinking milk.
He still had three pieces of pastries every day, and after eating them, he had nothing to do, so he simply climbed into one brother's arms and sat for a while, then climbed into that brother's arms and sat for a while.
The brothers did not feel disturbed. Instead, they felt more focused as they hugged his warm, milky little body.
It can be seen that the little guy really likes his brothers. He doesn't feel bored even when quietly nestling in their arms. Instead, he plays with his little hands and smiles happily.
After a moment's silence in the hall, Yinzhen's laughter was suddenly heard, causing the princes to look up at the same time.
Cheng An asked curiously, "What are you laughing at, Fourteenth Brother?"
"Tenth brother, you are too outrageous. You actually wrote the charter exactly according to the eighth and ninth brothers'." Yinzhen guessed that he had copied the charter since he was punished, but after reading the charters of the three of them one by one, he realized how badly he had copied. The content was basically the same, with only some changes in the wording and sentence structure.
Seeing that he was talking about something irrelevant, Yin'e rolled his eyes at him and said, "Nonsense, why else do you think I was punished?"
After saying this, he probably felt embarrassed and snatched back his charter: "Don't look at it, you don't need to look at my charter."
Seeing that he was so self-aware, many princes, led by Yinzhen, started laughing.
Although Cheng'an didn't understand what his brothers were laughing at, he laughed along anyway.
Hearing his clear laughter, Yin'e reached out and pinched his face: "You are so bold that you even dare to laugh at Brother Ten."
The little guy whose face was pinched laughed even more happily when he heard his words.
I haven't finished reading the charter yet and it's almost noon.
As the host, Yinreng simply asked them to stay for lunch.
Hearing his brother talking about eating, Cheng An immediately responded: "An An wants to eat cuckoo chicken~"
He had been thinking about it before he had eaten Hulu Chicken, and he was thinking about it even more after he had eaten it.
There was nothing wrong with the imperial chef's skills in making gourd chicken, but Kangxi felt that gourd chicken was too spicy and didn't want him to eat too much.
Cheng'an felt that his brother was easier to talk to than his father, so he found an opportunity and spoke quickly. After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Yinreng would not agree, so he climbed into his arms and acted coquettishly: "Hello, second brother~"
Seeing that he wanted to eat gourd chicken so much, Yinreng was helpless and finally compromised: "You can eat gourd chicken, but only a little bit."
"Okay~" The little guy smiled brightly when he saw that he agreed.
Seeing that he was so happy to eat gourd chicken, Yinreng touched his head and asked, "What else do you want to eat?"
"An An wants to eat dumplings~"
"Okay." Yinreng agreed immediately and told someone to prepare lunch.
While lunch was not yet served, the brothers continued to read the regulations and occasionally exchanged a few words with each other.
"Cuckoo chicken, cuckoo chicken, An An, eat cuckoo chicken~"
The little guy was sitting on the couch, clapping his hands and muttering about the cuckoo chicken he was about to eat.
Yinzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard his voice. He didn't want to look at the rules in his hand anymore. He hugged him into his arms and said, "Why are you so greedy? You little greedy cat."
"Brother Da is little meow~" Cheng An said.
Seeing that he had learned to talk back, Yinzhi pinched his little face and said, "Brother, you don't want to eat cuckoo chicken again."
Yinzhi was led astray by him and also called gourd chicken "gugu chicken".
In Cheng An's heart, cuckoo chicken is his favorite food now. Seeing that Da Ge actually said he didn't want to eat it, he immediately tilted his head and asked, "Da Ge, why don't you want to eat it?"
"Because if big brother wants to eat it, he can eat it every day." There was a hint of boasting in Yinzhi's tone.
Hearing his words, the little guy's dark eyes immediately revealed a bit of envy: "Wow——"
"What's so great about this? Brother Shi can eat cuckoo chicken every day if he wants." Yin'e couldn't help but interrupt.
Cheng An was even more envious when he heard this: "An An Yi wants to eat Cuckoo Chicken every day!"
"Are you interested?" Yinzhen couldn't bear to watch them being so childish.
"That's right." Yinzhi agreed and took Cheng'an from Yinzhi's arms and said to him, "When Cheng'an grows up, he can eat cuckoo chicken every day."
Of course, what Yinzhi didn’t say was that when he grows up, he definitely won’t want to eat it every day. After all, no matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day, not to mention that gourd chicken is very spicy.
Cheng An didn't know what he was thinking, but when he heard his words, he immediately raised his head and chest and said, "An An has grown up~"
Seeing this little guy saying that he has grown up, the brothers all chuckled. Yinzhen couldn't help but touch his little face and said, "It's too early for you to grow up."
The little guy was a little unhappy when he heard this, and puffed his cheeks and said, "An An has grown up!"
"What's good about growing up? When you grow up, you have to study. To study, you have to get up at 3 a.m. and read a hundred and twenty times every day... Look at your brothers, they have so many things to do every day. They are not as comfortable as you." Yin'e said to him, holding the memorial in his hand.
For a little guy who has not yet read, how could he understand the hardship of studying? He even thinks it is fun. After all, he has been to the Shangshufang, where he has an older brother to play with him.
"An An needs to study~"
Hearing his words, Yin'e couldn't help but stroke his forehead, but Yinzhi praised him: "Our Cheng'an is really studious."
"Cheng'an can recite poetry so well at such a young age. You can tell at first glance that he is a smart and studious child." Yinsi also praised.
After the brothers praised him so much that he smiled like a flower, lunch was served.
"Cuckoo chicken, cuckoo chicken..."
When Cheng'an smelled the fragrance, he immediately forgot about growing up and studying, and his mind and eyes were filled with the cuckoo chicken that he was about to eat.
“Don’t be impatient.” Seeing him muttering excitedly, Yinreng personally picked up a chicken leg and put it in his bowl.
“It smells so good~”
After the little guy finished speaking, he opened his mouth and waited to be fed.
While Yinreng was feeding him the chicken leg, Yin'e called out, "Let's quickly share this cuckoo chicken, so that he won't miss it after he finishes eating it."
The brothers thought it made sense and quickly picked up some food with their chopsticks regardless of whether they liked it or not.
There is strength in numbers. With just a few touches, the whole gourd chicken was eaten up in one go.
Sure enough, after Cheng'an finished eating the gourd chicken drumstick, he immediately stretched his neck to look at the table with a look of unsatisfaction.
"Come and eat dumplings." Yinreng scooped up a dumpling with a spoon, let it cool a little, and then brought it to his mouth.
The dumplings the little guy eats are specially made smaller versions, just big enough for him to eat one in one bite.
Seeing that the cuckoo chicken was gone, Cheng An then obediently looked away and started eating dumplings.
Dumplings are not as crispy and delicious as gourd chicken, but they have their own flavor. Especially in this season, eating a bowl of hot dumplings is simply too comfortable.
After the little guy ate two more, he immediately praised: "It's delicious~"
"If it tastes good, eat more." Yinreng said and fed another one.
After eating, Cheng An raised his head and said in a baby voice: "Second brother, eat~"
"good."
Food tastes better when there are more people around, especially with Cheng'an, a little guy who can stimulate everyone's appetite. After the meal, several princes felt a little full.
After lunch, the brothers continued to read the regulations. Cheng'an sat on the couch and played by himself for a while and fell asleep unknowingly.
After finding that he was asleep, Yinreng covered him with a quilt himself. Then the other princes stopped looking at the rules and gathered around the couch to watch him sleep.
It's not their fault. Apart from Yinreng, other princes rarely see the little guy sleeping, so they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"His little face looks really round from this perspective." Yinzhen said with a smile.
The little guy was sleeping on his side, and his soft little face looked really round from this angle.
"Do you think he is thinking about eating cuckoo chicken in his dream?" Seeing that his little mouth suddenly moved while he was sleeping, Yin'e couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.
The little guy's sleeping appearance was indeed very adorable, but seeing them surrounding him for quite some time, Yinreng couldn't help laughing.
