In the end, Yin'e and the others didn't really ask Cheng'an to grill a fish for each of them. Instead, they waited until the fish in the little guy's hand was cooked before each of them tasted a bite.
"good."
“It tastes good.”
“It’s delicious.”
"Cheng An is really amazing."
Cheng An was happier when he heard his brothers' praise than when he ate the grilled fish himself, and he immediately said, "Grill some more, An An!"
"No need, we've already eaten." Yinxiang saw him about to get the fish again and hurriedly stopped him.
Yinzhen and others also agreed.
The little guy thought grilled fish was fun, and when he saw his brother said he didn't want to eat it anymore, he thought, "Give it to Ama~"
Hearing this, the brothers were speechless for a moment, and finally Yin'e whispered: "I'm afraid that the emperor will tell people if he knows that you grilled fish..."
After all, this involves both smoke and fire.
Upon hearing this, the little guy unconsciously withdrew his hand that was about to take the fish.
Seeing this, Yinzhen picked up the unfinished grilled fish next to him to divert his attention.
It was almost time for dinner, and the brothers didn't give the little guy too much grilled fish. He mostly finished it himself, just letting him have a taste.
When it was getting dark, all the princes escorted him outside the imperial tent.
Before leaving, Yin'e squatted down and sniffed the little guy, making sure that the smell of the grilled fish had almost dissipated before nodding with relief, and whispered to him not to let the Emperor know that they took him to grill fish.
The little guy nodded and ran directly into the imperial tent under the gaze of the brothers.
Kangxi was reading a memorial, which was not an important one, but a memorial of greeting from various places.
Seeing the little guy coming back, he put down the letter and looked up and asked, "Where did you go to play again?"
"An An and brother grilled..." Cheng An was about to answer, but halfway through he suddenly realized something and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"What are you grilling?"
"No." The little guy shook his head, and then said, "An An is hungry!"
Seeing that he had learned to change the subject, Kangxi stood up and walked over to touch his stomach, with a half-smile on his face: "Are you hungry?"
The little guy didn't actually eat much grilled fish just now, but that's just how it is when he's small, his stomach swells up a little after eating a little.
Noticing that he was secretly sucking in his stomach, Kangxi was too lazy to tease him anymore. He picked him up and asked, "Did you eat barbecue just now?"
"No."
It's not barbecue, there's nothing else that can be grilled.
Kangxi then asked: "How much grilled fish did you eat?"
The little guy opened his mouth slightly and asked instead of answering, "How did Ama know?"
Seeing that he admitted it immediately, Kangxi felt that he was indeed still young, so he reached out and tapped his forehead lightly and said, "You know that you will have dinner soon, but you still want to eat grilled fish."
It was because Kangxi didn't know that the little guy grilled the fish himself that he could be so calm, otherwise he would have definitely said something to him.
Cheng An immediately hugged his arm and started to act coquettishly, and even showed off during the meal.
After dinner, the little guy felt a little full.
Kangxi, who felt that he should not have eaten the last meatball, had no choice but to take him out for a walk.
The night view on the grassland is very beautiful, and the stars in the sky are shining brightly.
"Look, it's sparkling~"
For little ones who like shiny things, they will naturally like the stars in the sky.
It had been a long time since Kangxi had looked at the starry sky so leisurely. Now he held his little hand and walked slowly while appreciating the starry sky.
The gentle evening breeze blows towards you. It is not too cold in this season, but instead gives you a comfortable feeling.
The little fellow deliberately tilted his face slightly upward to feel the wind, and then began to giggle.
Seeing that he could feel pleasure from a gust of wind, Kangxi couldn't help but smile.
"One, two, three... nine, ten..."
Not long
, the sound of a little guy counting stars in a baby voice could be heard on the grassland.
Of course, there were endless stars to count, and as the little fellow counted they let out a low cry of frustration, but soon continued counting.
In the following days, the little guy was happy every moment, going out horseback riding with his brothers, taking a walk with Kangxi and counting stars, playing with Yalingtai, and occasionally meeting bears on the grassland.
When the two little guys met the bear, they played very wildly. Stealing honey was nothing to them. They even made a fire and roasted fish when the bear went into the lake to catch fish.
"Xiong Xiong is so awesome~"
Cheng'an and Yalingtai lay on one side of the bear's back. The little guy couldn't help but praise the bear when he thought about how the bear could steal honey, catch fish, and help pick tall wild fruits.
"Yes!" Yalingtai nodded in agreement and also liked this bear very much.
The bear carrying the two little guys on his back seemed to hear their praise and let out a happy growl from his throat.
"Run, bear~" the little guy rubbed his head against its fur.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bear immediately sped up and ran.
Seeing this, Liu Cai and others who were following behind were so sad that they could not even cry, and could only keep shouting "little ancestor".
The bear carried the two little ones on his back directly back to the camp. The guards in the camp were already accustomed to this.
"An An will take you to see Yuan Yuan~" the little guy said after getting down from the bear's back, holding the bear's paw.
The bear was tall and big, so he had to bend down to cooperate with him.
No matter how old Yalingtai was, he at least knew that bears were not vegetarians. When he saw that he was going to take a bear to see the sheep, he always felt that something was not right.
Yuanyuan was originally very round, and after being brought back by Cheng'an, she became even rounder. The bear was stunned when he saw her, probably because he had never seen such a fat sheep.
"Mee-mee..."
Yuanyuan sensed the bear's presence and began to tread on her front hooves nervously.
"What's wrong with Yuanyuan?" Cheng'an let go of the bear's paw and ran over. He touched its head and then took the wild fruits that Liu Cai had brought back and fed it to it.
Yuanyuan felt his breath and calmed down after eating some wild fruits.
"Those are the sheep raised by Cheng'an, you can't eat them." Yalingtai couldn't help but said, feeling that something was wrong with the bear's eyes.
I don’t know if the bear understood or not, but it didn’t react at all. It only trotted over when Cheng An waved.
"Look, bear, this is Yuanyuan~" the little guy introduced with a smile.
The bear looked at the fat sheep up close and couldn't help but stretch out his paw to touch it.
Yuanyuan, who was still biting half a fruit in her mouth, didn't dare to move.
"Yaya, look, Xiongxiong also likes Yuanyuan~"
Hearing this, Yalingtai hesitated for two seconds and said, "Why don't we take Xiongxiong out to play."
"Why?" Cheng An was puzzled.
"Because the sheep you raise are too fat..."
The little guy didn't understand the connection between the two, but after tilting his head and looking at him for a while, he agreed.
He originally wanted to feed Yuanyuan the wild fruits he brought back, and after feeding her, he led the bear, who kept looking back, away.
When Kangxi learned that he had run out to play with the bear again, he naturally could not blame him or blame the bear, so he took his anger out on Tsewang Arabtan. After all, if it were not for him, there would be no bear.
Happy times are always short. Kangxi and his entourage came to the grassland in summer, but in the blink of an eye it was already early autumn.
If Tsewang Arabtan had not caused trouble in Tibet, Kangxi might have stayed on the grassland for a few more days, but now he had to prepare to go back.
The little guy must have had too much fun playing here. After all, compared to the palace, he could find his brothers anytime he wanted when he went out here. He also met some good friends, Yalingtai and Xiongxiong, who could play with him.
When he learned that he was leaving, he was immediately unhappy.
"An An doesn't want to go back!"
Kangxi just mentioned to him
Wanting him to be mentally prepared for leaving, the little guy started twisting in Kangxi's arms like a piece of candy.
"The capital is our home. There is no reason not to go back." Kangxi was mentally prepared and reasoned with him.
The little guy pointed directly at the imperial tent and said in a baby voice: "An An's home~"
He was not being unreasonable, but to him, this place had his father, brother, mama, and mother... and it was home to him.
Of course, he would probably be happier if Yinzhi and the others could come back.
Kangxi was both angry and amused at the same time: "Stop talking nonsense, or I'll leave you alone on the grassland."
Upon hearing this, the little guy immediately puffed up his cheeks and looked at him.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to go back?" Kangxi raised his hand and poked his cheek, then said, "Besides, your elder brother and the others are still in the capital, don't you miss them?"
"Yes!"
How could Cheng'an not think about it? Not long after Yinzhi and the others left, he asked Kangxi to help deliver any delicious food and drinks to them, and he also drew countless letters.
"That's it. How can you meet them if you don't go back?" Kangxi said.
The little guy missed his brother, but also wanted to stay here and play, so he looked up and said, "Call Da Ge and the others to come~"
"You wish." Kangxi poked his forehead. Thinking that there were still many days before he could return, he was too lazy to talk to him anymore. He was going to tell Yinzhen to tell him a few times and ask them to help persuade him.
In fact, he was just afraid that if he suddenly took him back, he would make a fuss and maybe even cry. Otherwise, Kangxi wouldn't have to worry about it.
When Yinzhen and others received this assignment, they took Cheng'an out for a horseback ride that day and coaxed him at the same time.
"Cheng'an, do you want to eat candied haws, cuckoo chicken, or sugar paintings?"
Yin'e spoke as they sat down to rest in front of the lake after riding their horses.
When the little guy heard so many delicious foods, his eyes lit up and he nodded, "An An wants to!"
"Then I will buy it for you when we return to the capital." Yin'e said.
Cheng'an wanted to eat, but when he heard him say go back, his brows couldn't help but frown.
"Isn't the capital city fun?" Yinreng saw his expression and reached out to smooth his brows.
"The grassland is so fun~" said the little guy, looking up.
Yinzhen: "The capital is also very interesting. Have you forgotten how lively it is outside the palace?"
"Brother Shi tells you that the place you went to before was not the most lively place. The place over the overpass is more lively..." Yin'e described it vividly.
In fact, when compared, the capital is definitely more lively. The little guy was immediately shaken by the memories of the capital he had evoked.
"You like the grassland. You can come back when you have the chance." Yinxiang said while the iron was hot.
The princes chatted with each other and mentioned that Yinzhi and the others were still waiting for him in the capital. Finally, the little guy was not so resistant to returning to the capital.
On the day Kangxi set out for Beijing, all the Mongolian princes and nobles personally saw him off.
Parting is always sad, especially for princesses who married to the grassland. When they thought about not knowing when they would see each other again after parting today, their eyes became slightly red.
Princess Kejing even hugged Cheng'an for a long time. She felt reluctant to part with this little brother whom she loved very much even though they had only been together for a short time. "Will Cheng'an miss his sister?"
"An An misses her sister!" Cheng An nodded affirmatively.
Princess Kejing smiled a little when she heard this, touched his soft little face and said, "Sister has prepared a lot of food for you, you can eat it slowly on the way..."
Upon hearing this, the little guy leaned over and kissed her on the face.
Not only Princess Kejing and the others were sad, but the Queen Mother was as well. After all, at her age, she would return to the grassland less and less each time, and she herself was not sure if she would have the chance to come again.
But no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to leave.
The little fellow was infected, and after getting down from Princess Kejing's arms, he looked around: "Where's Yaya?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi looked at Hetataiji.
Heta was a third-rank taiji, not very impressive among so many Mongolian princes and nobles. When Kangxi noticed him, he immediately wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know where my son ran off to this morning."
While speaking, Heta couldn't help but complain to his youngest son in his heart. He usually got along so well with the little brother, but he didn't come to send him off today.
Under normal circumstances, Kangxi would not care where his son went, but today he was a little unhappy, worried that the little guy would be disappointed.
After waiting for a while, Kangxi finally took the little guy by the hand and prepared to take him into the car.
"Cheng'an——"
Just as the father and son had walked in front of the imperial carriage, Ya Lingtai's voice suddenly came from behind them.
The little guy turned his head suddenly and saw Yalingtai running towards him on Xiongxiong's back. His eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that Yalingtai did not come to see him off earlier because he went to look for the bear.
Normally, he and Cheng'an would not go out of their way to look for bears. The bears would always come to them when they were playing on the grassland.
To be honest, it was still risky for Yalingtai to go find the bear. After all, he could usually play with the bear because Cheng'an was there, and no one knew whether the bear would turn hostile when he faced it alone.
Fortunately, maybe because the bear was familiar with him, it didn't do anything to him. Instead, it followed him.
"I brought Xiongxiong here to give to you!" Yalingtai said after getting off the bear.
Cheng'an had already let go of Kangxi's hand and ran over, hugging him first and then Xiongxiong.
After playing with the two little guys for a long time, the bear became more and more human-like and even stretched out its paw to pat him gently.
"If it doesn't work, just take the bear back to Beijing." Yin'e said when he saw the little guy was reluctant to leave.
Yinqi: "If you wanted to take it back, why did you send it away in the first place?"
Yinzhen felt that unless the little guy strongly requested it, the emperor probably would not agree. After all, the emperor was not very happy about the little guy always playing with a bear.
"Will you come to the grassland again in the future?"
Hearing Ya Lingtai's words, Cheng An nodded and said, "An An will come~"
"Don't worry, I will take care of Xiongxiong for you." Yalingtai patted his chest and promised.
The two little guys and a bear stood together and talked for a long time. It was not until Kangxi called for help that Cheng'an left, looking back every few steps.
Perhaps because he had been coaxed beforehand, the little guy was reluctant to leave, but he still followed Kangxi obediently into the imperial carriage.
When the team started to set off, Yalingtai took the bear and ran beside the imperial carriage for a while until he could no longer catch up, and then he slowly stopped.
Cheng An leaned against the window and looked at his two friends, waving at them.
He was fine at first, but when he could no longer see Yalingtai and Xiongxiong, he suddenly became listless.
Kangxi had been keeping an eye on him since he got on the car. Seeing him pursing his lips and lowering his head, he couldn't help but feel worried, wondering if he would cry.
The little fellow's head was lowered a little, and Kangxi could not see his expression clearly for a moment. He did not dare to ask, for fear that if he asked, he would cry even though he was not crying. So he winked at Liang Jiugong who was waiting beside him.
Liang Jiugong immediately squatted down quietly, turned his head to look at the little prince's face, and after seeing it clearly, he straightened his neck and shook his head silently at Kangxi to indicate that he was not crying.
Kangxi felt a little relieved, and after a dry cough, he ordered: "I am a little hungry, bring the food that Kejing prepared."
“Yeah.”
The food was prepared on the imperial carriage. After Liang Jiugong received the order, he quickly placed the food on the table in exquisite plates.
Dried meat, cakes, and candied fruits are all Cheng'an's favorite foods, but this time he just looked up and then looked away.
Kangxi didn't want to eat it himself, but wanted to distract his attention. Seeing that such a food-loving little guy was not active in eating, he couldn't help but take the dried meat and put it to his mouth.
Of course the little guy would not refuse the jerky in his mouth. He finally opened his tightly clenched mouth and started to eat the jerky.
Kangxi saw this pine
In one breath, he simply held the person in his arms and fed him.
Who can resist the fragrant dried meat and sweet and delicious pastries, especially the ones that are fed right into their mouths? The little ones certainly won’t.
"Father, An'an, eat three." The little guy ate quietly until Kangxi fed another piece of cake to his mouth, then he couldn't help but speak softly.
Kangxi thought about how he had tried to trick him into eating more dried meat cakes in the past, but today he was so well behaved. He patted his head and said, "Father, I will allow you to eat two more pieces today."
"Why?" Cheng An looked up at him.
"Because your sister Kejing prepared a lot of cakes and pastries. If you don't eat them quickly, they will go bad." Kangxi made up an excuse and continued to feed him.
Comforted by delicious food, the little guy finally felt better, but he still seemed quieter than usual.
Seeing this, after the lunch break, Kangxi specially called Yinreng, Yinzhen and Yin'e over.
The reason why Yin'e was also involved was probably because Kangxi felt that although he was unreliable, he was still quite good at making the little guy happy.
"Brother Cheng'an will take you to play..."
There weren't many things to play with in the carriage. Yin'e originally wanted to take him to play Shaga, but when he remembered that the toy was given to him by Yalingtai, he stopped talking in time.
Children's emotions come and go quickly. With the company of his father and brother, Cheng'an is actually not as depressed as when he first set out.
Seeing that Yin'e was halfway through his words, he asked in a childish voice, "What are you playing?"
"Play..." Yin'e said after his mind raced, "play hide-and-seek."
The imperial carriage is indeed bigger than an ordinary carriage, but it is not much bigger. When Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him.
The little guy had never played hide-and-seek in the car before. Hearing this, he was aroused and threw himself into Kangxi's arms and said, "An An wants Papa~"
"What do you want the handkerchief for?" Kangxi asked knowingly.
"Let's play~"
Seeing that he had finally become lively, Kangxi naturally would not refuse. He reached out to take the handkerchief handed over by Liang Jiugong and covered his eyes with it himself.
After the little guy's eyes were covered, Yin'e bravely pulled him to the middle of the carriage, and while spinning him around a few times, he said, "This place is small, you have to guess correctly after you catch the person to win, do you know?"
"I know~" Cheng An nodded, and when he returned to his seat, he reached out and touched his body, saying, "An An feels a little dizzy!"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help but glance at Yin'e.
"I know I was wrong." Yin'e admitted his mistake reflexively.
Hearing the sound, the little fellow, who originally didn't know where to start, immediately moved towards him.
The carriage was so small, and seeing the little fellow about to come over, Yin'e, who was quite competitive in the game, didn't care that Kangxi was watching from the opposite side, and he quietly shrank into the corner of the carriage.
Cheng'an had sharp ears and heard the slightest movement he made and continued to move forward.
Seeing this, Yin'e took off the purse from his waist and threw it towards Yinzhen.
Yinzhen didn't expect that he would do such a thing when he was just playing a game. He glanced at him indifferently and threw the purse back.
When the little guy heard the sound of the purse being thrown out for the first time, he was about to turn around, but when he heard the sound again, he immediately continued to move forward.
Yin'e thought that Yinzhen would ignore him if he threw the purse over, but he didn't expect that he would throw it back to him, and it was finally touched by Cheng'an.
"I caught it!" The little guy was very excited about catching someone, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Guess who I am." Yin'e imitated Yinzhen's tone in a weird voice, and when the little guy climbed into his arms and touched his face, he deliberately puffed up his face.
His imitation of Yinzhen was not similar at all, but instead made the little guy laugh, especially when he puffed up his face.
Cheng An chuckled and said, "Tenth Brother~"
When Kangxi on the opposite side saw this scene, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, you're so good, go catch them." Seeing that he couldn't hide it from him, Yin'e picked up the man and put him down.
He deliberately put people in front of Yinzhen
He waited in front of the little guy and when he caught the person, he deliberately moved his face closer.
"It's Brother Ten again?" The little guy reached out and touched his face with a puzzled tone in his voice, as if wondering why there were two Brother Tens.
Seeing that he couldn't help but reach out to take off the handkerchief, Yin'e said, "You touched the wrong way, touch upwards."
After he dodged, the little guy successfully climbed into Yinzhen's arms. He didn't even touch his face. He just smelled the scent in his arms and smiled and said, "It's Fourth Brother~"
Yinzhen couldn't help but look down at him, his tone unconsciously gentle: "How do you know?"
"An An just knows it!"
Seeing that he was quite proud, Yinreng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but reach out to touch his little head, but the little guy grabbed it, then followed the clues and climbed into his arms and said, "It's my second brother~"
After the little fellow stayed in Yinreng's arms for a while, he remembered that he had not caught his father yet, so he went down to touch him again.
Before catching Kangxi, he first touched Liang Jiugong, and immediately guessed based on his breath: "It's Eunuch Liang~"
Liang Jiugong guessed it as soon as he saw him grab his arm. He was flattered and happy at the same time. He smiled and said, "Little brother is really amazing."
The little guy straightened his chest after receiving the praise and continued to look for his father.
"Catch Ama~"
Kangxi was right next to Liang Jiugong and was caught by the little guy in a short while. His clear laughter filled the imperial carriage for a while.
