"Tenth brother, look~" Cheng'an came to his side holding the golden cudgel and immediately imitated the way Yinzhi taught him just now.
Yin'e found what he was watching interesting, and seeing that he was having a hard time looking up at him, he squatted down and followed him.
When the two brothers were playing with the golden cudgel, the people below had already found the fish and returned.
After Yinxiang discovered this, he deliberately took a few steps forward to block Cheng'an's direction to prevent him from discovering it.
"Brother Shi is so awesome~" The little guy didn't notice anything and was laughing happily.
Yin'e received his compliment and waved his golden hoop stick and said, "Brother Ten has something even more powerful. Do you want to see it?"
"Yes!" Cheng An nodded expectantly.
While his attention was completely drawn to Yin'e, Yinzhen retreated to the underwater palace to watch Liu Cai change the fish.
When the motionless little red fish was fished out, Yinzhen looked at its bloated belly and wondered if the fish had died from eating too much.
It didn't take much effort to change the fish. Liu Cai quickly fished out the original one and had someone take it away to bury it. Then he put the newly found red fish in and it was done.
Seeing the little red fish swimming freely in the underwater palace, Yinzhen was too lazy to worry about how the previous one died.
"Do you think Cheng'an will notice any difference?" Yinzhi couldn't help but whisper his doubts after taking a closer look.
Yinqi: "That shouldn't be the case. I think this fish is no different from the previous ones."
"I don't think it's obvious either." Yinxiang said.
Yinzhi nodded: "That's good."
After replacing the fish, the brothers finally felt relieved and no longer deliberately blocked Cheng'an's sight.
However, with his brothers around, the little guy doesn't have the extra time to pay attention to the fish he raises in the short term.
Yin'e originally came over to play with Cheng'an with the intention of attracting his attention, but he unexpectedly got a little too excited while playing, especially amid the applause of the little ones, he played with the golden hoop in various ways.
"Tenth brother is so awesome!" Cheng'an clapped his hands when he saw him throw the golden cudgel out and catch it again.
Yin'e had actually dropped the golden cudgel accidentally just now, but he didn't expect to catch it when he casually caught it. Facing the little guy's admiring eyes, he straightened his back and said, "Look, Brother Ten, throw it higher... Ouch!"
He originally wanted to show off his skills to Cheng An again, but he threw the golden cudgel too high and hit himself on the head.
"A man this big can hit himself with a stick. It takes real skill." Yinzhi saw that the hit was probably not serious, and spoke with some speechlessness.
Yinreng glanced at Yin'e, then squatted down and hugged Cheng'an and asked, "Are you scared?"
Yinzhen also looked at him with concern, and was glad that Yin'e was some distance away from him just now, otherwise the stick would have fallen and hurt him.
The little guy was still frightened when the golden hoop hit Yin'e and he fell down, but it was only for a short moment.
Hearing Yinreng's words, the little guy patted his chest and said in a baby voice: "An An, don't be afraid."
After he finished speaking, he saw Yin'e still holding his forehead with his hand, so he trotted over and asked, "Does it hurt, Tenth Brother?"
In fact, it only hurt at the moment when he was hit. At this moment, Yin'e was covering his forehead and half of his eyes were closed purely because he felt a little embarrassed.
However, when he heard the little guy's soft voice, he instantly revived on the spot, squatted down and said, "It's okay, it's just a hit, it doesn't hurt at all." After saying that, he put his hand down.
Cheng An stood on tiptoe and quickly saw the place where he was hit on the forehead. He stretched out his little hand and gently touched it and said, "Honghong!"
"It will be fine in a while." Yin'e said nonchalantly.
Although it was not a big deal for a big man like that to be hit by a stick, the matter was still serious. Yinsi and the others still took two steps forward to take a look, and only felt relieved when they saw that it was not serious.
They were relieved, but the little one, who couldn't tell the severity of the injury, was worried: "An An, bring me the medicine!"
He ran into the inner room after he finished speaking.
I want to go get some medicine.
Children are bound to have bumps and bruises in daily life, so the Qianqing Palace always has ointments on hand. Kangxi had used them on him before, and the little guy remembered where they were.
Just when Yinzhen was about to remind him not to run so fast and let others get it, the little guy fell to the ground with a bang.
The brothers were shocked when they saw him fall, and they all rushed forward to help him up, but the little guy got up on his own and continued running forward as if nothing had happened.
Yinreng immediately took a few big steps to catch up with him, picked him up and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"No~" Cheng An shook his head.
With that sound just now, Yinreng thought how could it not hurt at all, so he held his little hand and spread it out, and sure enough, he saw that the palm was a little red.
"Where is the ointment?" Seeing that he was still thinking about getting the medicine, Yinreng gently rubbed his palm and prepared to carry him.
When the little guy fell just now, he supported himself with his hands. The rest of his hand was fine except for his palm, which hurt a little. Now he rubbed it gently, and the remaining pain turned into itching, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.
When Yinreng carried the little guy inside to get the ointment, Yin'er couldn't help but say to Yin'e, "Look at you, you're such a grown-up and you still have the nerve to make Cheng'an worry."
Yin'e felt sorry for the little guy when he fell, but he couldn't help but find excuses to refute him when he said that: "It's because your golden hoop was not made well, otherwise I wouldn't have hit myself."
Seeing that he could blame himself for this, Yinzhen rolled his eyes at him.
"Brother Ten, apply the ointment~" After Cheng'an got the ointment, he immediately ran to Yin'e to present his treasure.
Yin'e made sure that he was not hurt from the fall, then he reached out to take the medicine and rubbed it a few times.
After he finished applying the medicine, the little guy picked up the golden hoop from the ground, clapped his hands twice and said, "Hit brother, that's bad!"
Seeing that he was using the golden cudgel to vent his anger, Yin'e was both moved and amused, wondering how could there be such a lovable little guy.
However, Yin'e was afraid that he would hurt his little hands, so he quickly took the golden cudgel and hit him a few times.
After this episode, Cheng'an stopped playing with the golden cudgel for a while, and instead pulled his brother outside to play on the swing.
He can actually play on the swing anytime, after all, there is no shortage of people to push him on the swing in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but the little guy still prefers to play with his father and brother.
"Brother Ten is here~"
After Cheng'an was carried into the swing by Yinzhi, he was probably still thinking about Yin'e's injury just now, so he patted the empty seat next to him and invited him to play with him.
Yin'e should have refused, but when he thought about how the little guy took him so seriously just because he was hit casually just now, and even fell down for him, and now when he met his dark eyes, he couldn't say no.
It’s just a swing, we played on it as kids.
Yin'e thought so in his mind and began to move closer to the swing.
"If you want to sit on it, I'll carry Cheng'an out first. In case it gets crushed, you'll be the only one to fall." Seeing that he was such a big man and was really ready to sit on the swing, Yinzhi quickly picked up Cheng'an while speaking.
"Brother, don't look down on the swing I gave you. It won't break so easily." Yin'e said unconvinced, and insisted on sitting on it to show him.
As he finished speaking, Cheng An also said: "Brother Da An An wants to play~"
"Wait a moment." After saying this, Yinzhi looked at Yin'e. Seeing that he actually sat on the swing, he thought he was very shameless.
After all, it was a birthday gift for Cheng'an, so the quality of the swing was naturally impeccable. After Yin'e sat on it, there was no sign of it collapsing.
After Yin'e used his own strength to swing the swing, he looked at Yinzhi proudly and said, "See? I told you it wouldn't break."
He didn't feel it before he sat down, but after he sat down and played around for a while he found it quite interesting and immediately understood why Cheng An liked to play so much.
"An An wants to play~" Seeing Tenth Brother sitting alone on the swing, Cheng An waved his little hands and said.
Yinzhi held him with one hand and grabbed the swing with the other hand and pulled it a few times. Only when he found nothing wrong did he put him in the swing.
"Tenth brother~" The little guy immediately jumped into Yin'e with a smile when he fell into the swing.
In his arms, he seemed to find it very interesting.
The swing space was so small that in order not to squeeze him, Yin'e simply held him in his arms.
"Brother Da, can you push An An, please?" Cheng An looked up and said after sitting on the swing for a while.
Yinzhi glanced at the huge Yin'e standing next to him, and finally reached out to push him.
"Brother, push it higher a little." Yin E couldn't help but say after the swing had been swinging for a while.
Yinzhi pushed Cheng'an together only for Cheng'an's sake. If he was the only one on the swing, would Yinzhi be able to push it? Not pushing him directly to the ground was considered as showing mercy.
"You probably don't know your own weight." Seeing that he still dared to complain that he didn't push high enough, Yinzhi's tone was a little cold.
Yin'e felt a chill on the back of his neck, and quickly hugged Cheng'an tightly, saying, "That's great, you sit down later and I'll push you."
Yinzhi wanted to say that he was not as childish as him, and that he was still playing on the swing at such a grown-up age. But when he thought that he pushed Cheng'an out of his own will, why should he push him for nothing, he felt that he should let him push back.
"Okay." After thinking it over, Yinzhi agreed immediately.
What the hell?
Yin'e was just speaking casually. After all, in his opinion, Yinzhi would not play on a swing given his personality. However, he did not expect the result to be different from what he expected.
Yinzhi noticed the expression on his face, snorted and chuckled, then used both hands to push the swing out hard.
"Wow!" Cheng An shouted happily, "An An Shi Ge is flying~"
Infected by his cheerful mood, Yin'e no longer wondered why Yinzhi agreed, but instead joined him in enjoying the fun of swinging on the swing.
Not far away, Yinzhen saw his tenth brother swinging on the swing under the name of Cheng'an, and suddenly he felt moved.
The swing swung up and down in the sunshine, and every arc was accompanied by Cheng'an's clear laughter.
When Yinzhi was a little tired of pushing the swing, he stopped and said, "Get down and it's your turn to push it."
Yin'e had a smile as bright as Cheng'an's on his face, but the curve at the corners of his lips gradually disappeared when he heard his words: "Brother, do you really want to sit down?"
"Don't worry, if you can't crush it, I can't either," Yinzhi said.
Seeing that he was going to insult him again, Yin'e secretly rolled his eyes before getting off the swing.
On the swing, Cheng An saw that Da Ge also wanted to play with him, and happily stretched out his little hand: "Da Ge, An An is pulling you~"
Yinzhi was a little hesitant at first as to whether or not to play, but seeing how excited he was, he simply held his little hand and went in.
"Brother Da, take An An flying~" Before the swing started swinging, the little guy climbed directly into his arms and hugged him.
Yinzhi looked down and saw his smiling face. His mood was somewhat affected. He hugged him and said, "Okay, I'll take you flying with me."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yin'e who was standing next to him, and his tone was not as good as when he spoke to Cheng'an: "What are you waiting for?"
There was no other way, Yin'e could only reach out and push it up.
"Haven't you eaten? Push it higher." Yinzhi was immediately dissatisfied when he saw that he had not pushed it half as high as he had before.
"You wait." After saying that, Yin'e took a few steps back, ready to push him high to scare him to death.
He acted very pretentiously, but in the end he didn't push it very high and almost fell.
The elder brother next to him couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw this scene, thinking that he was worthy of it.
Instead of scaring others, Yin'e almost scared himself. He didn't dare to do anything stupid again and just pushed the ball obediently.
After Yinzhi sat on the swing with Cheng'an for a while, he immediately felt the joy of swinging.
This feeling of being thrown high up as if to fly into the sky seems to throw away all the worries, and when it falls down, only joy remains.
"Brother Da, it's fun~" Swinging with his brother made Cheng'an even happier, and the smile on his face never disappeared.
Yinzhi nodded in affirmation.
He was happy to sit there, but Yin'e was exhausted. After pushing twice, he couldn't push it anymore, so he stopped and said, "No more pushing, I'm tired."
“
You should practice hard on weekdays." Seeing that he had spent less than half the time as he did, Yinzhi looked at him with disdain and finally got off the swing.
With the two of them taking the lead, when Cheng'an made another invitation, the other princes did not refuse, especially Yinzhen who was particularly enthusiastic.
You know what, it feels really good to play with things that I wouldn’t normally play with under the guise of the little one.
Even Yinzhen was finally pulled up by Cheng'an under the pushing of Yinxiang, and he hugged the soft little guy to experience the feeling of flying together.
"Fourth brother, look at An An~" Cheng An waved his hands in his arms.
Yinzhen looked at the lively and clever little guy in front of him, and when the swing reached the highest point, he bent down and kissed his soft little face.
The little guy who was kissed smiled immediately, then hugged him and kissed him back twice.
Yinxiang, who was pushing the swing for them, saw this and quickly leaned over and gave the little guy a kiss on the face before pushing the swing out again.
Cheng An didn't react until he flew up, and his cheerful laughter suddenly rang out on the swing.
The princes played with him until almost noon before leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The little guy sent them to the gate and then turned around and went back to the swing.
In the past, he would make a fuss every time his brothers left. Now, perhaps he has grown up and become more sensible. He is still reluctant to let go, but he no longer holds anyone back.
When Kangxi came back after finishing his work, he saw him sitting alone in the swing, so he walked over and picked him up.
"Ama~"
After his brothers left, the little guy's smile faded a lot, and now Kangxi narrowed his eyes again.
Kangxi carried him directly back to the palace, sat on the Arhat bed and asked him what he had done in the morning.
Cheng'an immediately told him excitedly that his brother was coming, and took the golden cudgel from his arms to play with it for him to see.
"Be careful not to hit your head." Seeing him swinging a stick longer than himself around, Kangxi reminded him worriedly.
"An An didn't hit it~" the little guy said and then remembered, Da Da Da ran to him, raised his little face and told him, "Shi Ge hit it, Hong Hong Da~"
Seeing him pointing at his forehead and saying that Yin'e had hit his forehead red, Kangxi felt that this was something that the Tenth Prince would do.
"Don't learn from your tenth brother."
"An An, if you don't hit your head, it will hurt~"
Kangxi touched his head and felt that the Tenth Prince was even worse than a child.
After Cheng An shared with him the happy play time with his brothers in the morning, his attention suddenly turned to the underwater palace next to him.
"Ama, look!"
Kangxi heard him and approached and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Honghong is missing..."
As the little fellow spoke, he tried hard to search in the underwater palace.
Hearing this, Kangxi pointed to a place in the underwater palace and said, "It's not here."
Where he pointed, a small red fish was swimming lively.
"Isn't this Honghong?" the little guy shook his head.
Liu Cai, who was not far away, was a little surprised to hear this. He didn't expect that he could recognize the little red fish that looked almost exactly the same.
Liang Jiugong noticed his expression and walked closer to ask quietly. Only then did he understand what was going on and quickly told it to Kangxi.
After hearing what he said, Kangxi thought that he couldn't let Yinreng and the others waste their efforts, so he picked up Cheng'an and said, "This is Honghong. Look how red it is."
"But it doesn't look like it~" the little guy explained in a baby voice.
Kangxi: "What's not similar?"
Cheng'an couldn't explain it specifically and could only shake his head.
Kangxi saw this and coaxed him, "Maybe it's because it's grown up, so you don't think it looks like one. If you feed it less next time, it won't grow so fast."
He said this because he was thinking about how the little guy not only fed the fish food, but also threw the cake crumbs into the water to share with the fish when he ate cakes. He suspected that the fish was killed by the little guy, so he was giving him a disguised reminder.
Cheng
An believed what he said and nodded, but then he thought about himself: "Then An An will grow bigger if he eats more~"
"I don't know whether you will grow bigger if you eat a lot, but it is true that you will become a ball." Kangxi tapped his forehead and said.
"Is the ball like this?" The little guy puffed up his cheeks when he heard him say that.
When the white and tender little guy puffs up his cheeks completely, he doesn't look like a ball but more like a freshly steamed white bun.
Kangxi was amused by his little appearance and thought that he could ask someone to prepare some buns for lunch.
As the emperor, he could have whatever he wanted to eat, so at lunch, Cheng'an also had the small and exquisite buns with thin skin and large fillings.
"The meat buns are so delicious~" The little guy held the bun and ate it with great relish.
When Kangxi saw the "big bun" eating the small bun, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised.
That evening.
Before going to bed, the little guy was rolling around on the bed when he suddenly remembered what Yin'e had said to him during the day. He sat up and began to climb onto Kangxi.
Kangxi had long been accustomed to the little guy's closeness. He would not react much even if the little guy climbed into his arms or even onto his head, and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
"Ama~" Cheng An called him while putting his little hand on the book to cover it.
The little guy usually wouldn't disturb him when he was reading unless he had something to say. Kangxi looked at the white and tender little hand on the book and looked down at him: "What's the matter?"
"Amash, take An An out to play sometime~" The little guy looked at him expectantly.
Kangxi has already ordered people to prepare, but it is not so easy for an emperor to travel, and it will take at least some days before he can set off.
"If it's quick, you can leave by the end of the month." Kangxi didn't give him a perfunctory answer just because he was young. He gave him a rough estimate and told him.
The little guy had no idea about the end of the month, so he counted on his fingers and asked, "How many days is that?"
"It will be almost done once you have bent all ten fingers." Kangxi said, pinching his little hand.
"One, two, three, four... nine, ten!" The little guy counted in a baby voice while breaking his fingers. When he broke off the last finger, he looked up and said, "Hello, Ama~"
"Don't try to be clever with me. You can only break one a day." Kangxi met his sparkling eyes, smiled and tapped his forehead.
Cheng An puffed out his cheeks, put his arms around him and rubbed against him.
Kangxi looked down and saw that his pajamas were messed up by him. He looked a little helpless: "How can you go out if you are not prepared? Do you want to starve on the road?"
"An An, don't do that!" the little guy shook his head.
"Then wait patiently."
After Kangxi finished speaking, he put down the book in his hand, hugged him and lay down, ready to take him to rest.
Seeing this, Liang Jiugong stepped forward and lowered the bed curtain.
Not long after the bed went dark, the little guy's soft voice was heard again: "Ama, can you take brother with you?"
Kangxi will definitely take other princes with him, but as for who to take specifically, he still has to consider it. After all, it is impossible not to leave anyone in the capital.
But he certainly wouldn't say this to the little one in his arms, otherwise he would make a fuss and he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"good."
Kangxi responded casually, and soon fell asleep with the satisfied little guy in his arms.
Near the end of the month, the list of people for the tour beyond the Great Wall was finally finalized.
Kangxi's trip this time was partly due to his desire to move forward after a long period of rest, and partly because of the Empress Dowager.
Last year, when the Empress Dowager thought she couldn't hold on any longer, she expressed her longing for Korchin in words and deeds, which made Kangxi think of the fact that before the Empress Dowager passed away, she also regretted not being able to return to Korchin to see the grassland.
Kangxi comforted the empress dowager at the time, saying that he would accompany her back to Khorchin when she felt better. Now he was fulfilling his promise to avoid letting her have regrets when that day comes.
If the Queen Mother wanted to go, naturally Concubine Yi, who had the best relationship with her, would be there.
In addition to Concubine Yi, there were several other concubines, and Concubine Mu also got the opportunity to accompany this trip thanks to Cheng'an.
Among the princes, Kangxi would definitely not take Yinyi and others who wanted to study.
In addition, Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinsi and Yinlu, who were named by Kangxi to stay in the capital, were also unable to go.
As for the other princes, Kangxi decided to take them all with him for Cheng'an's sake.
When Kangxi went out, Yinreng, as the crown prince, had to stay in the capital nine times out of ten and could only accompany him occasionally. At this time, he suddenly felt the freedom of not being the crown prince.
When Yinxiang learned that his fourth brother could not go, he wanted to stay and accompany him, but was rejected by Yinzhen, who told him to take care of himself and Cheng'an while they were outside the Great Wall.
Yinzhen was not a playful person and did not mind staying in the capital. However, he was a little worried about Cheng'an because the grassland was vast and sparsely populated.
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I will definitely take good care of Cheng'an." Yinxiang promised.
On the other hand, Yin'e was extremely happy when he learned that he could go to the frontier with Cheng'an.
There would have been nothing wrong with him being happy, but he happened to let it slip in front of Cheng'an, letting the little guy know that his third and fourth brothers couldn't go with him.
It was a rare opportunity to go out and play, and it was a grassland he had never been to before. Of course the little guy wanted his brothers to go with him, so he immediately became unhappy.
