The brothers saw that the little guy was having fun and didn't seem to need the clay figurine maker to teach him, so they simply paid for the stall.
During the holidays, everyone would prefer to go home and spend time with their families if possible. The clay figurine vendor left happily after receiving more than enough money to buy several of his own stalls.
After he left, Yinreng and the others sat down around the little guy and asked with a smile, "What is Cheng'an going to knead?"
The little guy had already excitedly rolled out a few balls with his hands. Upon hearing this, he directly took the bamboo sticks on the stall to string the balls together and said, "Look, candied haws~"
"I thought it was Lantern Festival." Yinqi said with a smile.
Yinsi thought so just now, after all, the little guy was quite round.
Then the little guy really started to make Yuanxiao and took off his hat to use as a bowl to hold the Yuanxiao.
"Brother, eat~"
After the brothers cooperated with him and pretended to eat mud dumplings for a while, the little guy put down his hat and started rolling the dumplings again.
Seeing this, Yinzhi couldn't help but ask: "What is this circle?"
"It's my head~"
As soon as the little fellow finished speaking in a childish voice, Yin'e immediately said two spit words on his behalf: "Children should not be restrained in their words, children should not be restrained in their words..."
"I want to make a sculpture of An An, and then a sculpture of my father and my brother!" Cheng An looked up and told them.
After hearing his words, the brothers looked at each other and felt that they should not have sent the clay figurine maker away so quickly.
Their feeling was correct, because the clay figure made by the little guy was exactly the same as the person he had drawn. One circle was the head, another circle was the body, and a few long strips were the hands and feet.
Yinluo said weakly: "How about I send someone to find that clay figurine?"
"Forget it, let him play by himself." Yinzhi saw that he was having a lot of fun and thought that it was unnecessary.
"Brother, look, this is me, An An~"
Just as the little guy held up the clay figure he had made, a child who looked younger than him suddenly ran over.
At first, Yinzhi and his friends thought that the child wanted to buy clay figurines. When they were about to tell him that clay figurines were not sold here, they saw him suddenly burst into tears.
The little guy was shocked by the crying of the strange child. His eyes widened subconsciously and he leaned closer to Yinreng.
At this moment, a man ran over with a smile on his face, picked up the child while apologizing, covered his mouth and said fiercely: "Don't cry!"
Judging from the child's appearance and clothes, it was obvious that he was raised with great care at home. Seeing this man treating him like this, the brothers always felt that something was wrong.
Of course, it may also be because they have a little one around them whom they love and pamper so much, and when they see someone treating a child like this, they can’t help but think too much.
"How dare you! If it's not your child, how dare you do this?"
Yinreng's tone was emotionless, but when the man heard it, he felt a sense of pressure.
The man was already feeling guilty, and when he heard his words he couldn't help but think more. He subconsciously thought that he might know the child in his hands, and suddenly felt that it was no coincidence that the child came to them just now.
Thinking of this, the man ran away.
Yinreng was just trying to trick him, but seeing his reaction, he didn't understand anything, so he directly ordered his men to arrest him.
At the same time, the other princes also noticed that something was wrong with this man, and Yinzhi's first reaction was to pick up the little guy.
As early as when the man ran over, the guards guarding nearby had already become alert. As soon as Yinreng gave the order, several guards rushed out and prepared to catch the man.
"What's wrong with Brother Da?" Cheng An looked at the scene in front of him in confusion.
Being able to lead troops to fight, Yinzhi was certainly not a fool. Hearing the little guy's doubts, he said, "That man might be a beggar."
"What is a flower?" the little guy wondered.
"They're kidnappers." Yin'e came over to explain, and then he added, "So Cheng'an, don't run around when you go out to play, or else you'll get kidnapped and won't be able to see your father and brother again."
"Why are you trying to scare him during a festival? You all are vegetarians when you were a guard." Yinzhen glared at him.
Yin'e: "I'm a little scared when I see Pahuazi appear next to me."
"Don't be afraid, brother Shi. If I get kidnapped, I will turn into Long Fei and come back to find you~"
After the little guy finished speaking, Yinreng couldn't help but gently tap him: "Don't talk nonsense, there are so many people watching, how could someone kidnap you, unless you want to go with someone else."
Obviously, Yinreng was unhappy just to hear this hypothesis.
"I won't go with anyone else!" the little guy immediately promised.
Yinzhi: "If someone says he wants to take you to buy candied haws, will you follow him?"
“No.”
"Then how about taking you to buy... buy gourd chicken?" Yin'e also asked.
After Yin'e finished speaking, he realized that he actually thought about it for a while before shaking his head. His voice unconsciously rose: "Cheng'an, why are you hesitating? If they don't buy you the gourd chicken, just follow them and leave."
Hearing this, the brothers all looked at the little guy.
Cheng An saw that his brothers were all looking at him, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't hesitate!"
"Obviously it's there, you greedy little cat." Yin'e tapped his forehead.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of noises coming from the side. The brothers looked up and found that it was a wine-carrying cart, and the sound of wine jars on the cart being smashed to the ground made the noise.
It turned out that when the guards chased the man, they were somewhat concerned about the child in his arms, so they failed to catch him immediately.
The man probably felt from the guard's aura that he had offended someone he shouldn't have, and didn't want to be caught, so he used the child in his hand as a shield and tried to run away.
However, the guards were no pushovers and quickly found a way to snatch the child from his hands.
The man who lost his shield suddenly became even crazier. He found someone pushing a cart of wine in front of him. In order to stop the guards chasing him from behind, he first picked up the jar of wine and smashed it, and then directly pushed the whole cart down.
The man who was transporting the wine was knocked to the ground by him at first and didn't react. When he got up and saw that he had smashed all the wine he was transporting, he rushed over and grabbed him, demanding that he compensate for the wine.
The man had just used the wine in the car to block the guards chasing him, but he was caught by him unexpectedly and attacked him with his elbow with a fierce look on his face.
Judging from the coarse clothes on the wine transporter, he was obviously a coolie. He obviously wanted to apologize for so much wine being smashed, so how could they let the culprit go?
The man just now destroyed several stalls around him in order to run away. Now the stall owners also surrounded him and shouted at him to pay compensation.
The guard noticed the man was surrounded and trotted over.
Seeing this, the man felt that everyone was against him tonight. He gnashed his teeth in hatred, but said patiently, "It's just compensation, let me go first!"
The man who was transporting the wine thought that he couldn't get away with so many people surrounding him, so he finally let him go.
However, after the man was released, he crashed directly into a wooden rack next to him that was hung with lanterns.
“Oh my god—”
Seeing the wooden shelf being knocked down by him, the people around him screamed subconsciously and dodged while screaming.
The wooden rack hung with lanterns looked beautiful at night, but it was a disaster when it fell down, as the lanterns immediately started to burn after hitting the ground.
Originally, the burning of lanterns was easy to deal with, but a cart of wine was smashed nearby, and when the fire hit the wine, it immediately spread into a sea of fire. The first thing to burn was the wooden cart that had been transporting the wine.
"not good!"
The place where the wooden frame fell was still a little distance away from the clay figurine stall, but it was just outside the restaurant where Kangxi was. When the princes found out, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Take Cheng'an and leave first." After saying that, Yinzhi stuffed the little guy in his hand into Yinreng's arms and ran towards the restaurant with his men.
On a day like tonight when the streets are full of colorful lights, the capital has still taken fire prevention measures. For example, there are several large vats filled with water in nearby corners.
However, the people nearby panicked the moment they saw the fire, and instead of putting out the fire immediately, some people dropped their lamps while running, causing places that were not on fire to catch fire.
In the restaurant.
After resting for a while, Kangxi was about to see what the little guy was doing downstairs. Unexpectedly, when he just walked to the balcony on the second floor of the restaurant where people could enjoy the street view, he saw the fire outside.
The wine in the cart that was smashed earlier was spilled everywhere, so the fire spread quickly. When Kangxi noticed the fire and was about to turn around, the door of the restaurant was already on fire.
"Ama——"
At first, Cheng'an was able to lean quietly in Yinreng's arms and be led by him to a safe place. However, when he saw Kangxi and discovered that the restaurant was also on fire, he immediately became anxious.
Before Yinreng could react, the little guy turned into golden light and disappeared from his arms.
In fact, the situation on Kangxi's side was not that critical. After all, the restaurant had a back door, and it was completely possible for him to escape through the back door before the fire spread to the entire building.
But the little guy didn't care about all that. After turning into a dragon, he immediately rushed over and grabbed Kangxi with his claws.
Even though Kangxi had seen him transform into a dragon before, he was still stunned for a second when he was suddenly carried flying by him. However, after realizing that he was worried about his safety, he was quite relieved.
The little guy curled up his paws and protected his father in front of him before he felt relieved. Seeing Liang Jiugong and others, he used his other paws to take them with him.
Of course, the others did not have the same treatment as Kangxi, where only one claw was protected, but were all grabbed together.
Fortunately, Liang Jiugong and others who followed Kangxi closely knew that the golden dragon was the young prince when they saw it, and they were not too scared when he was suddenly caught.
After bringing everyone out of the restaurant, the little guy flew up a little. When he saw that people on the street were running around in panic, while his eldest brother and the others were still busy directing people to put out the fire, he subconsciously opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of dragon's breath.
Yinzhi was angry when he saw that the people on the street were running around and causing trouble instead of putting out the fire. Suddenly, he saw a golden dragon appear and take the emperor away from the restaurant. He immediately felt relieved.
The fire was still spreading, and some people were even caught on fire.
"Put out the fire quickly..."
At this time, someone finally calmed down and remembered to put out the fire.
Some people who lived nearby couldn't help crying when they thought that if the fire continued to burn, it would definitely burn down their homes.
Just as the scene was in chaos, with some people busy escaping, some busy putting out the fire, some falling and getting injured and sitting on the ground asking for help, and some crying out of fear, suddenly someone spotted the shadow of a dragon in the sky.
"Dragon! Look, there's a dragon in the sky!"
Under the bright moonlight, the golden dragon looks very dazzling, so it is normal for someone to notice it.
In fact, someone saw the golden dragon when it flew to the restaurant just now, but they thought they were too scared and their eyes were dazzled, so they didn't take it seriously.
"Please ask the dragon to send rain to put out the fire..."
When the people on the street looked up and saw a golden dragon in the sky, they couldn't help but recall the time when the dragon brought rain during the drought. They immediately knelt down to pray, and the next second they felt rain falling from the sky.
Yinzhi and his men were still directing people to put out the fire, but when they felt rain falling, they immediately realized that there was no need to rush and quickly hid under the eaves to avoid the rain.
"Look at you, you can't even take care of a child." Yinzhi, who was relieved, saw Yinreng coming over and started to make trouble, as if he regretted having handed the little guy to him.
Yinreng glanced at him and said, "Are you saying that I should stop Cheng'an from saving the Emperor?"
"I mean you don't even know how to go with Cheng'an!" Yinzhi immediately retorted.
Heaven.
Kangxi was worthy of being the emperor for so many years. Except for a moment of stunned moment at the beginning, he was now able to calmly lower his head and observe the situation below.
Seeing the little guy putting out the fire with rain, he said, “Cheng’an, go back to the palace directly.”
After all this chaos on the street, it was obviously impossible to continue playing, and Kangxi didn't want him to change back on the street.
When the little fellow heard his words, he let out a dragon roar in response, then suddenly flew down, put Liang Jiugong and others on his other claws on the ground, and grabbed a few of his brothers and took them back to the palace.
The princes who were lucky enough to "hitch a ride" were Yinzhi, Yinreng, Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinsi and Yin'e, who happened to be standing together.
Originally, Yin'e was not there, but he squeezed in after discovering the little guy's intention.
Except for Yin'e, the other princes were experiencing the feeling of flying for the first time.
For this reason, Yinzhi didn't even feel disgusted that he and Yinreng were on the same paw, but looked down with curiosity.
"Cheng'an, don't fly too high. Brother Ten is scared." Yin'e felt that the sky was colder than the ground, so he stretched out a hand to cover his hat tightly.
Yinsi turned his head when he heard that, with a helpless look in his eyes as if to say that if he was afraid, why bother to squeeze in.
"Are you okay, Father Huang?"
After Yinreng finished speaking, the other princes reacted and began to express their concern.
Kangxi said he was fine and asked, "What happened just now?"
"In reply to the Emperor's words..."
After Yinzhi finished explaining the whole story, Kangxi asked with a hint of displeasure: "Did you catch him?"
The man wanted to run away while the fire was burning, but perhaps because he did too many bad things, he would always be unlucky. Halfway through his run, he suddenly stepped on something and fell, breaking his leg, and was caught by the guards on the spot.
When Kangxi heard that people were arrested, he said nothing more.
However, it is obvious that the Shuntian prefect and the Nine-Gate Governor, who are responsible for the security of the capital, will be busy again tomorrow.
The little guy could fly back to the palace in an instant, but when he realized that his brothers were finding flying in the sky new and exciting, he flew slowly on purpose.
Kangxi didn't say anything at first, until he saw him flying around the Forbidden City several times without getting off, he finally said: "Are you going to sleep in the sky tonight?"
When the little guy heard his words and saw the location of the Qianqing Palace clearly, he immediately dived down.
With the experience from previous times, he landed much better this time. He first put his father and brothers down carefully, and then changed back himself.
After Yinzhi opened his arms to catch him, the little guy immediately turned to look at Kangxi: "Father, are you okay?"
"You react so quickly, what can happen to me?" Kangxi said in a gentle tone, and it was obvious that he was quite pleased with his previous performance.
They suddenly descended from the sky. The people in the Palace of Heavenly Purity were startled at first, and then they quickly saluted.
Kangxi waved his hand to excuse himself and led the way into the main hall.
The light outside was still a little dim. When they entered the bright hall, Yinzhi, who was holding the little guy, was suddenly startled: "Cheng'an, what happened to your hair?"
When Kangxi, Yinreng and others heard his voice and looked over, they found that there was indeed something wrong with the little guy's head, as if it had been burned.
Yinreng quickly remembered that when the little guy was playing at the clay figurine stall before, he took off his hat on a whim to put the Yuanxiao he had made in it, and then turned into a dragon and flew over to save Kangxi. It was very likely that he was accidentally burned on the top of his head by the fire at that time.
Of course, it's magical for the little guy to turn into a dragon, and it's not certain that he won't burn his hair if he turns into a dragon while wearing a hat.
"What's wrong with my hair?" The little guy was a little confused. He twisted his body to get down from the ground, ran to the bed and rummaged through his small wooden box.
After he took out the small peep mirror that Yinzhen had given him from the wooden box and looked at it for a while, his eyes suddenly began to turn red.
Seeing this, Yinzhi couldn't help but look at Yinzhi, thinking that he shouldn't have reminded the little guy about this.
Kangxi had just sat down next to him and stretched out his hand to block the mirror to comfort him, but he burst into tears and said quickly: "What's there to cry about? It's just a little bit of burnt hair."
"Ooooooh my hair oooooooo…."
It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke the little guy started crying even more sadly.
Seeing this, Kangxi reached out and touched his hair, and saw that only the surface layer was burned and curled up slightly. He couldn't help but say, "I was going to shave it anyway. If you don't like it, why don't you just ask someone to shave the front part off?"
When Cheng'an heard this, he stopped crying for a moment, and then cried even louder.
“Wow…”
Yinreng thought that he didn't want to shave his head in the first place, and the emperor still said such words, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to coax him: "Cheng'an, don't cry, it's only burned a little, it will grow out soon."
"Yes, hair grows very fast, this doesn't affect anything." Yinzhi rarely agreed with him.
"But my hair is so ugly..."
The little guy seemed really sad, with tears streaming down his face.
"No, not ugly at all." Seeing him crying like this, Yinzhen also walked forward.
"Cheng'an's hair is so beautiful, how can it be ugly?"
"that is……"
Yinzhi, Yinqi and Yinsi all followed suit, coaxing and praising him, and finally he cried more quietly.
The little fellow sniffed and looked at Kangxi with tearful eyes in accusation: "Father, wow...Father wants to shave...shave my hair wow..."
The princes didn't dare to say anything bad about Kangxi, but they couldn't help but look at him, hoping that he could coax the little guy.
"If you don't want to shave your head, then forget it. There's nothing to cry about." Seeing him crying like this, Kangxi's tone was full of helplessness.
The little guy's hair was burned. Obviously, the only possibility was that when he transformed into a dragon and went to the restaurant to save him, his head was accidentally burned by fire.
Since the dragon form can affect the human form, the reverse is naturally true. Taking this issue into consideration, Kangxi actually wavered in his decision to let him shave his head.
After all, the human form is fine, but if the dragon form has a bald head, Kangxi really finds it difficult to imagine that scene.
"Really...Really?" Cheng An was a little skeptical when he heard his words.
Kangxi thought that his hair was burned to save him, and he was soft-hearted. Considering his dragon shape, he decided not to let him shave his head unless he wanted to.
"When did I lie to you?"
"Then write me...write an imperial edict..." The little guy sniffed, with a cry in his voice.
Kangxi was somewhat speechless: "I have already agreed to your request. What other imperial decree do you want?"
“Woo woo…”
"Okay, I'll write an imperial edict for you." When Kangxi heard him sobbing again, he felt that he could do nothing about him.
After saying this, Kangxi stood up and went to the desk.
"The Emperor is going to write an imperial edict for you, so don't cry." Yinreng saw the little guy standing up from the bed, so he reached out and held him in his arms, coaxing him gently as he led him to follow Kangxi.
"Will my hair really grow back?" the little guy asked worriedly, leaning on his arms.
Yinzhi: "It's just a little on the face. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. It doesn't affect anything at all."
"Yes, it will grow out soon." Yinzhi said.
While they were talking, the brothers accompanied the little fellow to the desk.
After the blank imperial edict was laid out and the ink was ground, Kangxi picked up the pen and began to write it himself.
"Okay." After Kangxi finished writing, he put down his pen and looked at the little guy who was looking at him.
Cheng An sniffed his nose again and reminded in a baby voice, "You still have to cover that."
He didn't know what the imperial seal was called, or he just couldn't remember it for the moment, so he raised his hands and made a gesture of stamping.
Kangxi and the princes saw his actions and found them funny but also thought that he was quite knowledgeable.
The imperial edict had already been written, and it didn't need a seal. Seeing him looking at him eagerly, Kangxi ordered someone to bring the imperial seal over and asked, "Do you want to stamp it yourself?"
The princes were somewhat surprised to see that he even used the imperial seal to coax the little one.
The little fellow, however, had no idea what the imperial seal was. He nodded and came to his side, holding the imperial seal in both hands and, under his guidance, stamped it on the blank space of the imperial edict.
"Are you satisfied now?" Kangxi waited for him to stamp the imperial seal, then rolled up the imperial edict and stuffed it into his arms.
The little guy has stopped crying, but his eyes are red and there is still moisture in his eyes from crying.
"Yes." He nodded and smiled again while holding the imperial edict.
Seeing that he finally smiled again, Kangxi and the princes felt relieved.
Then Kangxi subconsciously touched his head, and when he found some black ash on his hand, he waved to Yinzhi and others.
"I'll take my leave."
After the princes left, Kangxi personally accompanied the little one to take a bath.
The little fellow wanted to hold the imperial edict while bathing, but Kangxi told him that it was useless if it got wet, and only then did he bear to put it down.
"Don't let anyone take it."
Seeing that he was still afraid that someone else would take his imperial edict away, Kangxi tapped his forehead and said, "Don't worry, no one wants your imperial edict."
