"You actually know how deer call." After hearing the sound made by the little guy, Yin'e smiled and reached out to touch his face.
Cheng'an is young, and his voice has the childishness and crispness that are unique to children. His imitation of the sound of a deer is very similar.
Yinsi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "He should have been to the Deer Garden in the Imperial Garden."
"Fourth brother, look~" the little guy grabbed the deer antlers and turned around and said.
Seeing that he liked what he had prepared, Yinzhen was naturally happy and took it and taught: "This is a deer antler."
"Woo-ah." the little guy followed.
Yinzhen was not obsessed with teaching him how to say "deer horns". He taught him casually once and saw that he was interested. Although he did not change his clothes, he helped him put on the deer horns.
No matter what the fair and tender little guy wears, it won’t look strange. Instead, he is so cute that it will melt people’s hearts.
Seeing him tilt his head and reach out to touch the antlers on his head, Yin'e couldn't stand it and said to Yinsi, "My dear brother, please draw a picture for him for me!"
The little guy looked so adorable that he thought it was unlikely to take him home, but if he drew him, at least he could hang him up in the house and look at him every day.
Yinsi had painted a picture of Cheng'an wearing a dragon tail robe last time, and upon hearing this, he immediately asked people to prepare writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Draw two for me too." Yinzhen also said after seeing it.
Yinzhen thought that this painting was possible, so he also agreed.
Yinsi wanted to keep one for himself, but when he saw that they all wanted one, he thought that he might not have enough time, so he said, "Why don't you draw with me?"
As princes, they must know how to paint, the only difference is how good they are.
Yin'er, Yin'e and Yinzhen were unwilling to do it themselves, but Yinzhen thought it would be a good idea to use a painting to preserve the image of the little one wearing the clothes he designed, so he also started to do it.
Before starting to paint, Yinzhen replaced the deer antlers on Cheng'an's head with cat ears that matched his clothes.
Yinzhen probably realized that Yinsi might not be able to paint it all by himself, so he took the initiative to approach his brother Yinzhen, who was born of the same mother, and said, "Fourth brother, can you help me paint a picture too?"
Yinzhen had already picked up his brush and started concentrating on painting, so he ignored him.
Since he didn't say anything, Yinzhen took it as his consent and pretended to help grind the ink.
On the Luohan bed, Cheng An was stroking his tail and stroking his ears. When he found that his brother had stood up and left, he immediately stood up and said, "Brother~"
Yin'e saw him standing on the edge of the bed, so he hurried over to carry him closer, then sat on the outer edge to play with him.
"Catch the kitten!" Yin'e opened his hands and deliberately scared him.
When Cheng'an saw him coming, he screamed and hid flexibly on the bed.
He hid for a while and found that his brother was sitting there motionless, only stretching out his two hands to grab him. He immediately stood in the corner of the bed and waved his hands back at him, shouting: "Awoo~"
"You are a kitten now, not a tiger." Yin'e burst into laughter when he heard his call.
When Cheng'an heard his words, his little head gradually tilted.
"That's how kittens meow." Seeing that he didn't understand, Yin'e cleared his throat and imitated him, "Meow..."
"Which cat's meow is as shrill as yours?" Yinzhen couldn't help rubbing his ears when he heard his imitation voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng An followed suit: "Meow~"
Maybe it’s because children are naturally childish, even though Yin’e’s teaching was so unpleasant, his imitation was as cute as a kitten.
"Listen to our Cheng'an." When Yinzhen heard the little guy's voice, he immediately felt comfortable in his ears again.
Yin'e rolled his eyes at him, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the "kitten" hiding in the corner into his arms: "I caught your kitten, didn't I?"
The little guy who was suddenly caught cried out and struggled in his arms.
After the two brothers played for a while, they were exhausted and fell on the bed together.
"Meow~"
The little guy meows from time to time, just like a little kitten lying lazily taking a rest.
After lying on its side for a while, the kitten probably felt a little bored, and suddenly hugged its feet in front of it.
His body was really flexible and he stretched his two little feet in front of him without any effort.
His socks had fallen off when he was playing with Yin'e just now, and now a pair of white and tender little feet were exposed.
At first he was just playing with his toes, but after a while he lowered his head and tried to bite them with his mouth.
Yin'e watched him the whole time, and before he took a bite, he smiled and said, "Is it delicious? Give Brother Shi a bite."
When the little guy saw his smiling face, he generously offered his feet to him.
He thought his brother wouldn't bite him, but when he saw Yin'e grab his feet and put them to his open mouth, he immediately shrank back in fear: "Brother doesn't want to eat An'an..."
"Let me taste it and see if it tastes good." Yin'e deliberately opened his mouth as wide as possible to scare him.
Seeing that he really wanted to eat, Cheng An immediately shook his head anxiously and said, "No, no."
Yin'e was just teasing him, and when he saw that he got anxious, he immediately let him go.
After the feet were free, Cheng An immediately held them in his arms.
Yin'e couldn't stop laughing when he saw him like this, and thought it was so fun to tease children.
After laughing for a while, he suddenly heard Yinzhen calling him. He looked up and saw that the other person was holding a painting in his hand.
It was difficult to see clearly while lying down, so Yin'e sat up, and the next second he was angered by the content of the painting.
It turned out that when he and Cheng'an were playing, Yinzhen, who was standing near the Luohan bed, suddenly felt itchy and picked up a pen to start painting. However, compared to Yinsi and Yinzhen, he just painted as he pleased.
Cheng'an in the painting is okay, not very similar, but he still has the necessary features and looks very cute. However, Yin'e next to him was drawn with a bloody mouth, making him look like a monster that wants to eat children.
"Yinzhen, I think you really want me to loosen up your muscles!" Yin'e said as he jumped off the Luohan bed and wanted to hit someone.
Of course, Yinzhen couldn't just stand there and let him hit him, so he immediately grabbed the painting in his hand and started running. When he ran to the Luohan bed, he held up the painting to show Cheng'an, who had already sat up, "Is the painting good, Fourteenth Brother?"
"Great." The little flatterer naturally clapped his hands and praised.
After praising him, he took the painting and pointed at himself with cat ears in the painting and said, "An An~"
"Yes, it's you." Yinzhen nodded with a smile.
Cheng An smiled and pointed at himself in the painting, then pointed to the side and asked curiously, "What?"
"This is your tenth brother." After Yinzhen said this, he couldn't help laughing when he looked at the "Yin'e" in the painting.
Yin'e, who had stopped temporarily because he was tired of chasing, heard his laughter and became so angry that he raised his hands and chased after him again.
"Cheng'an, your tenth brother wants to beat me!" Yinzhen, who didn't want to run away anymore, immediately hid on the Luohan bed and raised a "Cheng'an" shield.
Cheng An turned to look at his fourteenth brother hiding behind him, then looked at his tenth brother in front of him, and finally stretched out his little hand to hug Yin'e: "Brother, no."
After Yin'e hugged him with his backhand, he glared at Yinzhen and said, "If you have the guts, don't hide behind Cheng'an!"
"Why can't my own brother hide?" Yinzhen said and lay down directly behind Cheng'an.
With Cheng'an around, Yin'e didn't dare to really fight in front of him even if it was just for fun, otherwise the little guy would be uncomfortable, so he raised his hand and nodded Yinzhen to temporarily remember it, then carried the little guy to the table not far away: "Let's go, Brother Shi will teach you how to paint."
On the table next to him, Yinsi had already painted a picture. The background of the painting was the Luohan bed in the hall. In the middle of the bed sat a little guy wearing a cat-tail coat. He was tilting his head to touch the cat ears on top of his head.
The best thing about this painting is its vividness. The liveliness in the little guy's eyes is perfectly portrayed, making the whole painting come alive.
Yinzhen, who had been watching from the side, waited for him to put down the last stroke and immediately said, "My dear brother, this is for me."
Yinsi himself was also quite satisfied with the painting, but Yinlang, who had always supported him but never asked for anything from him, finally nodded in agreement.
Yinzhen, who was lying on the bed, heard that Bage had finished painting. He stood up and was about to come over to take a look, but was attracted by the table next to him: "Tenth brother, are you taking him to paint or to wash his hands?"
Hearing his somewhat shocked tone, Yinsi, Yin'er and Yinzhen, who had just put down the last stroke, turned their heads at the same time and saw that the originally white and tender hands of the little guy held in Yin'e's arms were now stained with ink.
"I didn't expect he was so interested in ink. He came up and slapped his hand into the inkstone. I didn't even have time to react." Yin'e's tone was helpless. He felt that he shouldn't have brought him here.
The little guy couldn't understand his headache, and while he was talking, he slapped his ink-stained hands on the paper in front of him.
He laughed happily when he saw his little handprint on the paper.
"This brat." Yinzhen saw that he was still playing and shook his head with a smile.
Seeing that he had made his hands so dirty, Yinzhen couldn't help but say, "Cheng'an."
Hearing his somewhat serious voice, Cheng An stopped drawing his handprints and looked up with an innocent expression.
"His hands are already dirty, just let him play for a while." Yinzhen helped speak up.
Ink is not for playing with. Moreover, once you develop this habit, it will be even worse if you want to play with ink in the same way when you see it in the future.
Yinzhen glanced at him and ordered someone to bring a basin of water.
Knowing that the little guy loves to play with water, he personally held the little guy's hand and put it in the basin to wash.
The princes were all more or less clean, and Yinzhen was the best among them. Seeing that he was willing to wash Cheng'an's black little hands, Yin'e and the others couldn't help but look at him twice.
Yinzhen couldn't help but mutter in his heart, thinking that if he had been so good to him in the beginning, he would not have ignored his brother and gotten close to others.
When he thought so, he obviously forgot that he did not love Yinzhen as passionately as Cheng'an. It can only be said that feelings are mutual.
Probably because of the stern words from Fourth Brother just now, Cheng An obediently let him wash his hands and then threw himself into his arms and started to act coquettishly: "Fourth Brother~"
Yinzhen noticed that there was a little ink on the tip of his nose, so he reached out to wipe it off for him, then carried him to the place where he had been painting.
"Wow--"
Cheng'an quickly noticed the painting on the paper and immediately shouted.
The same little guy wearing a cat-tail coat, but the background of Yinzhen's painting is not in the palace, but the imperial garden.
But on the paper there was a vivid painting of a pavilion in the middle of a lake in the Imperial Garden. The little guy was lying on the railing of the pavilion, looking up at the koi jumping out of the lake. With his tail slightly raised behind him and a lively expression on his face, he really looked like a kitten craving for fish.
This painting was very interesting. When Yin'e and the others heard Cheng'an's voice and gathered around him, they found it hard to believe that this was a painting that their fourth brother, who always had a sullen face, could draw.
"Fourth brother, give me this painting, I want this one!" Yinzhen said immediately after reading it.
Yin'e actually wanted it too, but because of his relationship with Yinzhen, he was too embarrassed to ask for it.
The relationship between Yinzhen and Yinzhen has been a little stronger recently than before, so it is not so easy for him to refuse his younger brother when he asks for help.
At this moment, the sound of a whip was suddenly heard outside, and the brothers immediately realized that it was the Emperor who had returned.
When they turned around to salute, Kangxi had already come in and immediately noticed his youngest son who had changed his clothes.
"Ama——"
Cheng'an had just taken off his socks and had not had time to put them on. Now he jumped out of Yin'e's arms and ran on the ground barefoot.
Kangxi quickly reached out and picked the man up, then signaled to his other sons to skip the formalities.
"Why aren't you wearing socks?" Kangxi said while pinching his little face. He was about to put the person on the Luohan bed, but when he passed by the table, his peripheral vision caught sight of the two paintings on it.
Kangxi himself would also paint for his youngest son on weekdays. When he saw the two paintings, he immediately said, "Well done."
It was not easy to get a word of praise from him, so Yinzhen and Yinsi immediately expressed their desire to leave the painting for him to enjoy.
Kangxi did not refuse and ordered Liang Jiugong to take the painting down and frame it.
Seeing that the Emperor had someone to keep by his side and even asked to leave his paintings behind, Yin'e did not show it on his face but could not help but mutter a few words in his heart.
"Please sit down." Kangxi spoke after sitting down on the Luohan bed holding his little son in his arms.
"Thank you, Father Emperor."
After they thanked him and sat down, Kangxi touched his youngest son's clothes, which were obviously much thinner, and asked, "Who made this?"
He was used to seeing dragon-tail robes before, so he didn't mind that the cat-tail robe was indecent.
"Your Majesty, it's me, your son." Yinzhen stood up and said.
Kangxi nodded and ordered someone to reward him with a piece of ink.
"Father, look at An An's tail~" Cheng An, who was sitting in his arms, suddenly pulled the tail in front of him and said to him.
Kangxi lowered his head when he heard his voice and asked casually, "What kind of tail is this?"
"Meow~" The little guy opened his mouth and imitated.
The meow he imitated was softer than that of a real kitten. Kangxi smiled when he heard it. He touched his head before looking up at Yinzhen and the others.
The weather has been unusually hot recently, and it hasn't rained yet. Kangxi paid special attention to the memorials received during these days, but no one raised any related questions.
It would be best if there were no problems, but he was still a little worried. Fortunately, Yinzhen and the others were there, so he took this opportunity to ask for their opinions.
When Yinzhen heard the emperor mention serious matters, his expressions turned serious.
When it comes to the weather, the brothers all have experience. Although the summers in previous years were also hot, they were definitely not as hot as this year, especially since it hasn't rained. It's so stuffy that even an ice basin can't keep you cool.
To put it bluntly, Kangxi was still worried that his subordinates did not take this matter seriously, or reported good news but not bad news, so after listening to his sons' ideas, he looked at Yinzhen and said, "In this case, you will go around the capital on my behalf to check the situation."
"Your son obeys your order." Yinzhen stood up and accepted the order.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he looked at Yinsi and the others.
Kangxi was indeed somewhat displeased with these sons who liked to hang out together, especially Yinsi. However, since Cheng'an was born, he felt the joy of family life from him. The father-son affection was aroused and Kangxi could now be a little more tolerant of his other sons.
"Don't just sit there, follow your fourth brother and help him."
After Kangxi finished speaking, Yinsi and others also stood up and accepted the order.
Cheng'an had already quieted down when they were talking about serious matters. He tilted his little head and looked at his brothers, then at his father, his dark eyes full of curiosity.
"What are you looking at?" After giving the order, Kangxi met his eyes and immediately rubbed his head and pushed down the cat ears on his head.
When Cheng'an stretched out his little hands and tried to prop up his cat ears, Yinzhen and the others looked at him and stood up to leave.
“Brother!”
Seeing his brothers about to leave, Cheng An immediately shouted.
"Stop shouting, they are in trouble." Kangxi hugged him tightly.
Cheng An, who had already stood up on his legs, asked in a baby voice, "What?"
"You don't understand." Kangxi said perfunctorily and took him to have lunch.
Cheng'an originally wanted to continue asking for a brother, but when Kangxi coaxed him that there would be his favorite meat for lunch today, he immediately calmed down.
After Yinzhen and others received their mission, they had no time to visit Cheng'an again.
If his brothers don't come over on their own initiative, Cheng'an can only find Yinreng in Xian'an Palace.
When Yinreng saw that he finally took off the dragon tail robe, he felt relieved for him.
There's no way. The weather is too hot right now. Seeing him wearing such thick clothes, everyone would worry about him.
"Hey brother, look~"
The little guy was wearing deer clothes today. When he came over, he pointed at the antlers on his head.
Yinreng held the man in his arms and touched his clothes. Feeling that he was quite cool, he nodded and said, "I see. Which little deer in the Imperial Garden ran to me?"
"Yo yo~" Cheng An imitated the sound of a deer twice and then laughed himself.
Seeing that he had learned it quite well, Yinreng also showed a smile on his face.
When he was a child, Yinreng also liked to go to the Deer Park in the Imperial Garden to watch the deer, especially when he learned "The deer are calling, and they are eating wild apples."
Thinking of this, he taught casually: "Yo Yo Lu Ming."
"Yo Yo Woo Ming~"
"Eat wild apples."
"Four Chirps~"
Yinreng pinched the antlers on his head and said, "Eat."
"Four~"
Seeing that he couldn't change, Yinreng shook his head and continued teaching.
After teaching it several times, the little guy got the phrase "Yo Yo Wu Ming" most correct.
But then Yinreng suddenly realized that since he pronounced "four" so clearly, it meant that it was okay to call him "fourth brother".
Sure enough, when he asked who gave him the clothes, the little guy said clearly: "Fourth brother~"
Yinreng felt a little jealous when he saw that he called him Fourth Brother so clearly. He pinched his little face and started teaching him again: "Second Brother."
"Hey brother~"
"two--"
"Hey~"
…
There was nothing else to do, so seeing that he couldn't learn, Yinreng hugged him and taught him patiently. Finally, his hard work paid off.
"two--"
"Two~"
Yinreng's mind was full of the words "Ai" and "Er". When he heard him pronounce it correctly, he took a while to react and then said in surprise: "Second brother."
"Hey brother~"
Seeing that he pronounced the word wrong again, Yinreng asked him to look at his mouth and repeat it slowly.
"Second brother~" Cheng An looked up and imitated his lip movements and finally pronounced it correctly.
In fact, it’s not that he is difficult to teach, but he has already gotten used to calling “Hey Brother”, so it is naturally more difficult to get him to change his way of speaking.
"Call me again." Yinreng picked him up and said with a smile on his face.
Seeing the smile on his brother's face, Cheng An called out in a baby voice: "Second brother~"
"Hey." After Yinreng agreed, he rubbed his little face, imitating the action he often did to him before.
Cheng'an didn't feel anything when he was rubbing against others, but when he was rubbed against by others, he immediately laughed out of itchiness, and the room was filled with his clear laughter.
Although Yinreng and his other brothers were still around, after a long time, Cheng'an began to miss his fourth brother and others.
That afternoon, when Kangxi came back from his busy government affairs, he saw the little guy sitting quietly in the corner of the couch.
His back was facing outside, so Kangxi couldn't see his expression at the moment, but he could inexplicably see a bit of loneliness in his small back.
Is it because he is too bored alone...
Kangxi felt a little distressed, but the next second he suddenly remembered that even if Yinzhen and the others had not come recently, he still did not lack someone to accompany him.
The day before yesterday, Yinzhi came to see him in the morning, and Yinyou, Yinlu, Yinli and others came over in the afternoon; yesterday morning, Yinqi came to see him and took him to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and in the afternoon he went to Xian'an Palace to find Yinreng by himself; this morning he went to the Imperial Garden to play first, and then went to his mother's palace to play, and in the afternoon it seemed that Yinyou also came.
Kangxi thought it was strange that he could be bored with his life like this, and he couldn't understand why he was like this.
Although he didn't understand, Kangxi still walked over with a gentle expression, patted his shoulder and gently called out, "Cheng'an."
After hearing his voice, the little guy trembled all over and fell down on the spot.
Kangxi was slightly stunned when he saw his movements, and then he became worried: "What's wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Cheng'an lay on the couch and shook his head.
Kangxi felt really uneasy seeing him like this, so he just picked him up.
After the little guy was picked up, the thing he had hidden under his body was immediately exposed. It was a wrinkled fan.
This is Kangxi's fan. He liked Dong Qichang's calligraphy. The fan cover is a poem written by Dong Qichang.
Seeing the fan on the couch, Kangxi had nothing else in mind. It turned out that he was overthinking just now. The little guy was just feeling guilty because he broke his fan.
"What did I do to you by making such a good fan of mine into this state?" Kangxi asked as he took the wrinkled fan in his hand.
"No." Cheng An shook his head and explained, "An An didn't make any noises, no noises..."
The little guy really didn't mean it, he just saw that his father liked the fan and couldn't help but play with it. Who knew that while playing with it, he accidentally pressed on it, and the fan became wrinkled and couldn't be folded. When he realized he had done something wrong, he hid and tried to fix the fan.
