After drinking some wine in Xian'an Palace to vent his emotions and being comforted by Cheng'an, Yinzhi no longer stayed indoors and went into the palace to visit the little guy within two days.
Cheng'an was extremely happy to see that Da Ge kept his word.
"Brother~"
When Yinzhi saw him running towards him excitedly, he was about to bend down to pick him up, but he turned around and ran back the next second.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and followed the little guy with his eyes. He saw the little guy running over with a wine jug in his arms: "Brother Da, look~"
"Where did you get the wine?" Yinzhi asked subconsciously.
However, when the little guy came closer, Yinzhi did not smell any wine, and immediately guessed that it should be a wine pot for him to play with.
"Brother Da, let's go and have a drink~" Cheng An greeted him in a baby voice, shaking the wine jug in his hand.
Yinzhi followed him to the Luohan bed and sat down, and saw a wine glass on the table that matched the wine pot in his hand.
There was definitely no wine in the jug, but it was filled with water. With his help, the little guy was carried to the Arhat bed. He immediately kicked off his shoes and then stood up to pour "wine" into the glass.
Seeing that he was about to spill the wine, Yinzhi kindly reached out and picked up the wine glass and brought it close to the mouth of the pot.
"Okay!" Cheng An poured two glasses of wine, put down the wine pot, picked up one of the glasses and said, "Brother Da, let's drink~"
Yinzhi raised his glass and clinked it with his, then drank the water in the glass out of habit. He felt that he had nothing to do since he had come to the palace so early in the morning to drink water and play with him.
Thinking so, when the little guy filled his glass with water again, Yinzhi did not refuse and just thought of it as playing with him.
"ha……"
Not to mention, just watching the little guy holding a glass of water and imitating the posture of drinking, shaking his head and sighing after drinking, Yinzhi found it quite interesting.
Yinzhi had a good alcohol tolerance. If it was real wine, he could drink it by the jar. Even if it was tea, he could drink half a pot. But if it was tasteless water, he would not want to drink anymore after a few glasses.
"Brother Da, drink it~" the little guy reminded him when he saw that he only took a small sip.
Yinzhi really wanted to ask him to change the glass of real wine, but in the end he held back and drank the water in his hand again.
At this moment, Yinsi, Yin'er and Yin'e came together.
Yinzhi put down his wine glass and glanced at them, and said immediately: "You came at the right time, come and drink... with Cheng'an."
"Brother, are you serious?"
Yinsi and Yin'e knew without any hesitation that it was definitely not real wine, only Yin'e subconsciously asked another question.
Before Yinzhi could answer, Cheng'an excitedly called out, "Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, come and have a drink~"
There were quite a few wine glasses on the table, and the little guy continued to pour wine from the wine jug after he finished speaking.
Yin'e walked closer and took a look at the wine glass. He immediately understood: "It turns out to be water...water wine."
While they were coming over, Yinzhi was finally able to put down his wine glass and let them drink with the little guy.
Cheng An was too happy to have someone to play with, but the result of drinking too much water was that he always had to go to the toilet.
After running off the bed twice, he finally had enough "wine".
Seeing that he stopped pouring wine and sat on the Luohan bed, Yin'e asked with a smile, "Don't you want to drink anymore?"
When the little guy heard his words, he fell to the side, and Yinsi quickly opened his arms and took him into his arms.
"An An is drunk~" the little guy said in a baby voice after adjusting himself to a comfortable position in Yinsi's arms.
Yinzhen twisted the wine glass lightly and said jokingly, "Your alcohol tolerance is not that good."
"He drank with four of us, that's already amazing." Yinsi looked down at the little guy lying in his arms and patted his back gently.
Feeling his brother's gentle movements, Cheng'an rubbed against his arms dependently.
Yin'e picked up the wine jug and shook it twice, and found that there was still a lot of water in the jug he had just added. He held it in front of Yin'e and said, "Brother Jiu, come here, I'll fill it up for you."
This isn't real wine. The little guy doesn't even want to play anymore, so Yinzhen is too lazy to drink it.
, naturally he would not fall.
Yin'e had nothing to do, so he insisted on pouring the wine even though Yin'e didn't let him. As a result, he didn't hold the wine jug firmly and it fell to the ground.
The sound of the wine jug breaking startled the little guy, and he immediately raised his head and looked around.
"It's okay, it's okay." Yinsi patted him gently to comfort him.
Seeing that Yin'e couldn't even hold a wine jug steadily and was no better than Cheng'an, Yinzhi gave him an indescribable expression.
This set of wine jugs was the little guy's new toy. He stood up from Yinsi's arms and couldn't help blinking when he found the wine jugs broken on the ground.
"Oh, you really scared me." Seeing the little guy staring at the wine jug without saying anything, Yin'e spoke before him.
Cheng An saw that his brother was frightened, and immediately ignored the wine jug, came to him, patted his chest and said: "Don't be afraid, brother Shi~"
Seeing that Yin'e had taken the initiative, Yin'er couldn't help but glance at him, thinking that he was really good at fooling children.
Yin'e leaned his head on the little guy's shoulder and said, "Cheng'an, Brother Ten accidentally broke your wine jug, you won't blame me, right?"
"It's okay~" The little guy continued to pat his chest gently, caring about him in return, "Brother Shi, are you still afraid?"
"There's one more thing, clap twice more." Yin'e said, half leaning against him.
Seeing that he broke Cheng'an's wine jug and asked the little guy to coax him, Yinzhi couldn't stand it anymore, especially when he saw him putting his big head on Cheng'an's small shoulders.
"That's enough." Yinzhi said and pushed him away from Cheng'an.
Yinsi saw that the wine jug on the ground was broken into pieces, and thought that he needed to have someone clean it up properly. It would be bad if any pieces were left behind and hurt Cheng'an, so he said, "Take Cheng'an out first and have someone clean up this place."
"Look at what you have done." Yinzhi raised his hand and nodded at Yin'e, then he personally carried the little guy out.
The weather was good today, and when he came out of the palace, Yinzhi put him directly in the swing.
As early as the beginning of autumn, the swing was covered with soft fur mats, so the little ones would feel very comfortable sitting in it.
"Are you seated?"
"Okay~"
After making sure that he was sitting firmly, Yinzhi started pushing the swing.
As the swing swung high, the clear laughter of a little kid could be heard nearby.
"Brother Da is so awesome~"
With Yinzhi pushing the swing, Yinsi and the others simply sat down at the stone table nearby.
There was no stone table here originally. It was added after the swing was built. Occasionally, Kangxi would sit here and watch the little one swinging on the swing.
Yinzhi was very strong, so with him around there was no need to find someone else to push the little guy for a while.
Yinsi and the other two chatted while watching the little guy swinging on the swing.
As they chatted, Yin'e suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Yin'e: "By the way, Ninth Brother, is there any news about Dai Zi that I asked you to find out about before?"
When it comes to finding out about people and information, you have to look to Yinzhen. After all, he has a wide range of business and many people he can use under his command.
"I thought you had forgotten about this." Yinzhen said.
Yin'e touched his head and said, "Seeing Cheng'an reminded me of this again. I want to see if I can make a fire gun that he can play with before his next birthday."
Yinzhen originally thought that he suddenly thought of Dai Zi because Yinzhen went to war, but he didn't expect it was for this reason. He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have overestimated him.
But no matter why Yin'e did this, Yin'er had already asked someone to find out the news for him.
"He's still alive in Shengjing, but if you want to use his words, you'll have to ask the Emperor first," Yinzhen said.
Yin'e: "It's been so long, the Emperor shouldn't mind it anymore, right?"
After all, Dai Zi had made quite a few contributions in the past.
Yinzhen felt that this was not a problem. The question was: "Are you sure Dai Zi still has the same ability as before?"
"We'll know when we get the person back." Yin'e didn't think as much as he did, and turned around to ask Yin
Si helped himself to write the memorial.
After returning to Beijing, Yinsi also inquired about Dai Zi's news and learned that he had some conflicts with Nan Huairen. However, Nan Huairen is no longer with us. After such a long time, it is likely that the emperor will agree because of his past contributions.
After Yinsi nodded in agreement, the three brothers started talking about Yinzhen again.
"I wonder where Fourteenth Brother is now."
"It should still be on the way..."
It was not until they saw Yinzhi coming over that they quickly stopped talking and started talking about other things.
Yinzhi came over to take a break and let them take over, but he didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.
However, even if he heard it, he didn't care as much as Yinsi and the others thought because he had already vented his emotions.
Yin'e usually likes to be lazy whenever he can, but this time he is very active.
"Tenth Brother~"
The little guy who was sitting obediently in the swing waiting saw him coming and looked up at him with a bright smile.
Yin'e stretched out his hand and pinched his fair little face, then pushed the swing hard and said, "Look, Brother Ten will push you to the sky!"
The little guy laughed when he heard this, and after he landed, he shouted, "Brother Shi, push again~"
Yin'e's physical strength was not as good as Yin'zhi's, and his breathing became heavy after pushing for a while.
He was too lazy to go back to the stone table, so he lowered his head and said, "Cheng'an, make room for Brother Ten."
The little guy was very cooperative. Not only did he move his little butt to the side, he also patted the empty seat and said, "Brother Shi, come here~"
Yin'e naturally didn't hesitate to sit in, but he put his feet outside to avoid dirtying his fur mat.
After he sat in, he just relied on his body weight to move the swing. The little guy didn't mind. Instead, he liked the feeling of having his brother sitting on the swing with him.
As the swing swayed slightly, the little guy stood up and climbed onto him and lay down.
Yin'e held the swing with one hand and placed the other hand on him. He smelled the milky scent on the little guy and looked at the sky which was still blue today. He felt very comfortable.
The little guy was lying on his stomach at first, but soon he turned over and looked up at the sky together with him.
"This Yin'e..."
Yinzhen couldn't help shaking his head when he saw him push the swing for a while and then sit on it.
Yinsi also found it funny, especially when he looked at them from the side and discovered that the two brothers on the swing had somewhat similar postures and expressions at that moment.
Yinzhi had almost finished his rest, so he walked over, quickly picked up the little guy, and said, "The Emperor is here!"
When Yin'e heard the three words "Emperor Father", he was so shocked that he wanted to jump up immediately, but the swing was not a chair. The more anxious he was, the harder it was for him to get up, and instead the swing began to shake again.
Seeing him waving his arms and legs like a turtle with its shell flipped over, Yinzhi just laughed.
The little guy was a little stunned when he was suddenly picked up by him, but when he saw Brother Shi’s actions, he found it amusing and started laughing.
Hearing Yinzhi's laughter, Yin'e immediately realized that he had been fooled. He slowly got off the swing and glared at him. When he found that the little guy was laughing, he looked at him again: "Who are you on your side?"
When he glared at him, Cheng An immediately and obediently stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth, but his bright eyes still revealed his smile.
Hearing Yin'e's question, the little guy let go of his hand and said, "Follow your brother~"
"Which brother are you on the side of?" Yin'e asked.
The little guy blinked and repeated in a baby voice: "Follow your brother~"
"Have you learned to play dumb?"
As Yin'e said this, he reached out to pinch his face, but Yinzhi dodged by holding his body.
"Brother, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
When Yinzhi heard what he said, he glanced at him and asked, "How do you want to settle this?"
He couldn't beat him, so he could only scold him... Yin'e didn't dare to scold him either. After all, he felt that if he won by scolding him, he would probably be beaten. In the end, he could only glare at him again.
The little guy felt that his tenth brother was a little angry, so he twisted his body and tried to get out of Yinzhi's arms.
He was not wearing shoes when he came out of the hall just now. Seeing this, Liu Cai hurried forward to help him put on his shoes.
After Cheng An put on his shoes and landed on the ground, he ran over and hugged Yin'e's legs and said softly, "Tenth brother, do you want to eat some meat?"
Feeling that he was coaxing him, Yin'e felt a little better. He lowered his eyes and looked at him and asked, "Do you have any?"
It was not that Yin'e looked down on him, but Kangxi was strict with him about food, so that he would not eat too many snacks and not eat properly.
"An An, yes~" the little guy said and then took his hand and ran into the house.
Yinzhen and the others were somewhat interested, so they followed in.
After the little guy led Yin'e into the room, he went straight to the Luohan bed. He climbed up and started to grope behind the soft pillow in the corner with his little butt sticking out.
Yin'e and others found it quite interesting, so they did not help but just stood in front of the Arhat bed and watched.
"Found it~" The little guy groped for a long time and finally took out a purse. He sat on the bed and began to open it.
Yin'e and the others waited for a while, and then they saw him actually take out a piece of dried meat from his purse. In an instant, a smile appeared on his face. They thought the little guy was so funny that he actually hid dried meat.
The little guy was pinching the dried meat and found that his brothers were all laughing, so he also laughed with his eyes curved.
"When did you hide this dried meat?" Yin'e laughed so hard that he even wanted to ask the emperor if he knew about it.
Of course Kangxi knew about it, and even watched him hide it. However, seeing that he only hid a small amount after being sneaky for a long time, he was too lazy to expose him.
The little guy's concept of time is currently only today and tomorrow, and the other concepts are vague. The dried meat was naturally not hidden today, so he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then simply tore off a small piece of dried meat and handed it over: "Tenth brother, eat it~"
Yin'e took it subconsciously, a little unsure whether the dried meat was edible.
The little guy didn't show favoritism and quickly and diligently tore off a few more pieces of the dried meat, which was not very big to begin with, and gave them to Yinsi and the others.
After dividing it all, he only had a little left in his hand.
"Let your tenth brother try it first." Seeing the little guy pinching the remaining dried meat and preparing to put it into his mouth, Yinzhi stopped his hand and said.
"Why?" Yin'e said this, but he honestly smelled the jerky with his hand to make sure it didn't seem to be bad, then threw it directly into his mouth.
Dried meat is durable and the little guy didn’t keep it for two days, so it’s still edible.
After eating, Yin'e touched the little guy's head and asked, "Why are you hiding the meat?"
Even if the Emperor was strict, he would never lack food and drink. Especially when he felt hungry, he could go to the Empress Dowager for a bite. It really didn't need to go to the point of hiding food.
"Leave it for brother to eat~" the little guy said in a baby voice.
He said that, but he probably also thought it was fun.
However, when the princes heard his words, they instantly felt that the dried meat in their hands became precious, and Yin'e even regretted not chewing it a few more times.
"Hide more next time. Not even one piece is enough for Brother Ten to eat." Yin'e said.
Cheng An ate the remaining dried meat in his hand and nodded to him: "Okay~"
"I advise you to take back what you said, otherwise next time he will stuff all the dried meat into his pocket in front of the emperor, and when he asks you, you're the one who told him to hide it..."
Needless to say, Yin'e could already see his fate of copying books again.
After I came back and finally finished copying the book a hundred times, I never wanted to copy books again even if I were beaten to death.
Yin'e cleared his throat and said seriously, "Cheng'an, Tenth Brother was just joking with you. Don't hide it next time. The brothers don't need this bite of food. Just eat it yourself."
"An An wants to give it to brother~"
The little guy was so sweet-mouthed that his brothers took turns to hold him in their arms for a long time. Yin'e even promised to bring him some delicious food next time he went to the palace.
Waiting for Kangxi
When he came back, Yinzhi and the others had already left. Cheng'an was lying on the Luohan bed, kicking his feet and playing with a purse in his hand.
Kangxi didn't recognize the purse at first. When the little guy noticed he had come back and jumped into his arms with the purse in his hands, and he smelled the aftertaste of dried meat coming from the purse, he suddenly remembered something.
"Did you eat the dried meat in there?" Kangxi asked after he touched the purse and found it was empty.
The little guy's eyes widened slightly, as if wondering how his father knew there was dried meat inside.
"An An didn't hide the jerky!"
Kangxi patted his little butt and said, "Did I tell you that you hid the meat? You confessed it yourself."
The little fellow dropped his purse and covered his butt with his little hands to prevent him from hitting him, his cheeks slightly puffed up.
"Okay, don't hide it next time." Kangxi scratched his nose and said.
Seeing that he was not unhappy, the little guy immediately retracted his cheek, threw himself into his arms and answered his original question: "Give it to brother, brother will be happy~"
"You only think about your brother all day long." Kangxi said with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Cheng An immediately hugged him and said, "You still remember Ama~"
"Where is Father's dried meat?" Kangxi looked down at the little guy who was acting like a spoiled brat.
The little guy had no dried meat in his hand. After thinking for a long time after hearing his words, he suddenly stretched his hand to Kangxi's mouth.
Kangxi looked at the chubby little hand in front of him and was amused by him: "What are you doing?"
"Give Dama a bite." The little guy obviously remembered a joke Kangxi once played on him, so he decided to give him a bite of his hand.
Kangxi had just been joking with him when he saw him sucking his hand, asking him to taste it to see if his hand was really delicious. He would never really bite him, so he just lowered his head to scare him and then took him to eat.
Within two days, Yinsi wrote a letter on behalf of Yin'e to plead for Dai Zi.
When Kangxi saw Dai Zi's name, he was reminded of his past.
The old ministers who once surrounded him were either no longer alive or had retired to their hometowns. When Kangxi suddenly saw this minister who was once still useful, he felt somewhat soft-hearted, especially when he thought of the many contributions he had made.
However, when thinking of Dai Zi, he also thought of his expertise, firearms being quite sensitive. Seeing Yin'e suddenly pleading for him, Kangxi had to call the man over to ask him.
Fortunately, it was Yin'e who was reported. If it were anyone else, they would probably find a more serious reason, which would arouse Kangxi's suspicion.
But Yin'e said whatever he wanted, and although Kangxi was speechless after listening to him, he also felt that it was something he could do.
Upon hearing that Yin'e wanted to bring Dai Zi back to make a musket for Cheng'an to play with as a birthday gift, Kangxi glanced at him and thought that he was really a good brother who was thinking about giving next year's birthday gift before the new year had even passed.
For the sake of his youngest son, Kangxi finally didn't bother to say anything to him. After all, Dai Zi is no longer the same as he was when he was young, and it is hard to say whether he still has the same ability as before.
"Read more books when you have time and spend less time doing work." After saying this, Kangxi picked up his pen, wrote his approval on the memorial written by Yinsi, and threw it to him.
"Thank you, Father."
Yin'e took the letter, glanced at it and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Shengjing.
It's not winter yet, but it's already very cold here.
Ordinary people don’t have a good life here, let alone Dai Zi who was exiled here.
Dai Zi's life here was very difficult. In the winter, he didn't even have a thick quilt, and sometimes he had to go into the mountains to find food to fill his stomach.
If he hadn't been able to make some money from selling calligraphy and paintings, his whole family would have starved to death here long ago.
He could still endure the hardships in life, but the sorrow of not being successful made him more and more depressed.
During his days of exile, Dai Zi hoped every day for the emperor's grace to pardon him and allow him to return to the capital, but he knew that this was just a luxury.
But when this extravagant wish came true one day, Dai Zi felt like he was dreaming.
"Dad, Dad, we can go back to Beijing now!"
Not until he heard his son's excited voice did Dai Zi realize that he was not dreaming. When he came to his senses, he immediately burst into tears.
Capital city.
Cheng'an doesn't know yet that someone's fate has changed because of him. He is currently writing a letter to Yinzhen.
Ever since Yinzhi started entering the palace to see him again, the only brother the little guy couldn't see became Yinzhen, which naturally made him miss him even more.
"Brother Da said Yuanyuan is as fat as a ball now..."
The little guy was muttering to himself while drawing with his small brush. When he said "ball", he really drew a ball on the paper. What can I say, it was quite round.
"Ama, Ama!"
After Cheng'an finished drawing the sphere, he seemed to have encountered a problem and immediately shouted.
Kangxi was not very busy today, so he brought him with him. When he heard the voice, he put down his pen and came behind him.
"This moon is well drawn." Kangxi praised when he saw the circle on the paper.
When the little fellow heard what he said, he looked up and said, "It's not the moon, it's the round one!"
"It is indeed quite round." Kangxi said, "Why are you calling me?"
"Ama, how do you draw rounded corners?"
Kangxi simply reached out and held his little hand and started to teach him to paint. He first added a sheep's head in front of the sphere, and then outlined a pair of sheep's horns with a few strokes.
"Father is so awesome~" the little guy praised with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hand to draw the sheep's feet.
Originally, Kangxi's painting still had some meaning of a sheep, but after he added some more paint, it suddenly became a mess again.
Kangxi could understand that the ink dots at the bottom were the sheep's feet, and the one at the back was also a tail. But when he saw him scribbling all over the sheep, Kangxi couldn't help but ask, "The sheep is white, why are you painting it black?"
"An An is drawing wool~" the little guy said in a baby voice.
Kangxi couldn't help but stroke his forehead, but finally let him paint.
