Seeing that he ignored him, Yinzhi snorted angrily and left with a flick of his sleeves.
The two men came in a hurry and had no servants with them. The eunuch Liang Jiugong arranged to follow them hurriedly trotted up to lead the way.
As the eldest prince and the former crown prince, they naturally had their own residences in Changchun Garden. However, after the two were imprisoned, the two residences were also sealed up. They had been vacant for such a long time that no one could live there for the time being.
After Yinzhi followed the eunuch to his new residence, the momentum he had when facing Yinreng gradually faded. After waving his hand to send the people in the house away, he sat alone in the hall, his expression suddenly becoming a little empty.
I was released just like that?
Even when he lay in bed to rest at night, Yinzhi still felt a little unreal.
He clearly fell asleep in the second half of the night, but he opened his eyes and woke up at daybreak the next day.
After waking up, Yinzhi looked at the different environment around him and was confused for a moment before he reacted.
When the servant saw that he had woken up, he hurried in with a basin of water to serve him.
After washing up, Yinzhi became more sober. He had a quick breakfast and went out directly.
Being released is certainly a happy thing, but perhaps because he has been locked up for too long, Yinzhi now feels a little lost and subconsciously wants to find Cheng'an, his brother who rescued him.
However, thinking that Cheng'an lived in the Emperor's Qingxi Study, Yinzhi became hesitant again after he really went out, until he remembered that the Emperor might still be in the morning court, then he quickened his pace again.
Normally, even princes were not allowed to enter the emperor's residence at will, but special circumstances arose after Kangxi raised his youngest son by his side.
Sometimes when Kangxi was busy, he was impatient with his sons who wanted to see Cheng'an and kept disturbing him. Later, he told them to go directly to Cheng'an if they wanted to see him.
Therefore, when Yinzhi came over, the guards inside and outside Qingxi Book House did not stop him after asking.
Upon learning that he was here to see the young prince, a palace maid took him directly to the flower hall.
Before reaching the flower hall, Yinzhi heard the little guy's clear laughter from afar, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
However, the next second, when he heard the clear voice that followed, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he quickened his pace again.
When he walked into the flower hall, he saw a certain annoying guy at first sight, and his tone suddenly became louder: "Why are you here!"
Early this morning, almost as soon as Kangxi went to court, Yinreng came over and was hugging Cheng'an and playing Nine Rings with him.
Hearing the piercing sound, Yinreng knew who it was without looking up and continued to untie the nine rings in his hand.
However, Cheng'an, seeing Da Ge coming over, was so happy that he wanted to go down immediately.
However, after Yinreng noticed it, he secretly hugged the person tighter. The little guy who couldn't get down could only look up and shout: "Da Ge~"
Hearing his voice, Yinzhi no longer cared about Yinreng's arrogance, and took two steps at a time to move forward and backward, trying to hold him in his arms.
How could Yinreng let him take him away? He turned slightly and said, "People with rough hands and feet should not touch Cheng'an."
"I'm his elder brother. Didn't you hear him call me just now?" Yinzhi said.
Yinreng sneered: "When did he ever call me brother?"
"Your ears..." Yinzhi hadn't finished his sentence when he suddenly realized that he was referring to the "Da Ge" mentioned by Cheng'an.
In fact, Yinzhi had no objection to the little guy calling him like that. On the contrary, after getting used to it, he felt quite close to him.
But at this moment, seeing Yinreng bringing this up, he immediately started to teach him with some anger: "Cheng'an, call me big brother!"
"Brother~"
"No, it's big..."
"Da~"
"Cheng'an, don't pay attention to him. Look, second brother has untied another ring." The moment Yinreng opened his mouth, Cheng'an immediately lowered his head to look at his hands, then raised his little hands and clapped.
Seeing this, Yinzhi said disdainfully: "It's just a nine-ring puzzle, what's so great about it."
"If I remember correctly, no one has ever successfully untied the Nine Rings?" Yinreng put the ring he had just untied back on while teaching the little guy in his arms how to untie it.
Cheng'an's little hands followed his movements, but his little head couldn't help turning around, looking at him and then at Yinzhi, as if he felt that these two brothers were a little different from usual.
Even though he knew that Yinreng was trying to provoke him, Yinzhi still couldn't stand his provocation and didn't try to snatch him from his arms. Instead, he said, "Give me the Nine-Ring Chain!"
Ever since the young master Cheng'an came along, there were so many little toys to play with, whether it was the Qianqing Palace in the imperial palace or the Qingxi Book House in Changchun Garden.
As soon as Yinzhi finished speaking, a palace maid brought a nine-ring chain.
After he took the nine-ring chain, he sat down and started to solve it.
The reason why Yinzhi had never solved the Nine Rings before was not because he was not smart enough, but because he was not interested in this kind of thing that required patience.
This time he got serious and he untied the first ring in no time.
Of course, the first ring of the Nine Rings is not difficult to solve. The difficulty lies in the fact that each subsequent ring requires more time and energy than the previous one.
Cheng An looked at his second brother and then at Da Ge. When he saw that Da Ge had untied a ring, he clapped for him from a distance and said, "Da Ge, you are awesome~"
Yinzhi was originally complaining in his heart while solving the Nine Rings, wondering who would have nothing better to do than to do such a boring thing. However, after hearing the little guy's baby voice, he immediately became excited.
"Look, big brother will show you everything!"
After Yinzhi said this, he became more serious.
Yinreng, who had just finished solving the first three rings, snorted in his heart when he heard this, and then quickened his movements.
So, when Yinzhi, Yinzhen and other princes arrived one after another, they saw that the two brothers who used to be at loggerheads with each other in the flower hall were now sitting together in harmony and solving the Nine Rings.
The reason why they all came here without any prior arrangement was naturally because Cheng'an had just woken up. The Emperor was not able to spend enough time with him yesterday, and now that the court had just ended, while Kangxi was discussing matters with several ministers, the princes of course hurried to see him.
"Am I dazzled?" Yin'e rubbed his eyes and asked Yinsi and Yin'er beside him.
Not only was he surprised to see the two imprisoned people, Yinzhi and Yinreng, but he was even more surprised that these two could be so harmonious with each other?
It must be fake!
Yin'e even suspected that they were pretending to be someone else. Otherwise, considering that they had ended up in a fight that ended in loss to both sides, it would have been a sign of Yinreng's good manners that they did not fight when they met. How could they have lived in the same room so harmoniously?
Not only him, other princes also had similar ideas.
But no matter what they thought, after confirming that they were really the two, the brothers still greeted them politely: "Big Brother, Second Brother."
Yinreng and Yinzhi looked up when they heard the voice. The former was fine and nodded slightly as a response before continuing to untie the nine rings in his hand. But the latter, seeing so many brothers again after many years, didn't know what expression to put on for a moment.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was quiet for a moment, but it was soon broken by the happy little guy: "Brother~"
Seeing so many brothers, Cheng'an was so excited that even Yinreng couldn't hug him even if he wanted to. He could only watch him fall from his arms.
As soon as the little guy landed on the ground and was about to run towards his brothers, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and picked him up.
When Cheng'an landed on the ground, Yin'e and Yinzhen took a step forward at the same time, stretching out their hands to hold the little guy in their arms before anyone else, but this time they found nothing and were slightly stunned.
Not to mention them, even Cheng An himself was a little confused. He looked up and found that he had fallen into Da Ge's arms.
Yinzhi was very happy after successfully holding the baby in his arms. He gave Yinreng a smug look, as if to say, "So what? I finally held the baby in my arms."
Yinreng clenched the Nine Rings in his hand and almost wanted to smash it directly at his face.
Yinzhi just glanced at him and lowered his head, saying to the little guy in his arms: "Look, big brother is about to untie another ring."
Seeing his brother clearly running towards him but being intercepted by him halfway, Yin'e felt a little angry, and without thinking about anything else, he stepped forward and said, "Brother, hold me for a while."
"Why?" After Yinzhi finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and found out that there were not only Yinreng who wanted to snatch his brother from him, but so many others.
That's his younger brother, why should he hug him? Yin'e felt that this elder brother was still as unreasonable as ever.
It was a pity that when he first saw him and Yinreng sitting together peacefully, he thought he had changed his character. It turned out that he was thinking too much.
"Have you eaten Cheng'an's cakes today?" Yinreng asked, putting down the nine-ring puzzle he was almost solving.
When the little guy heard the word "pastry", he immediately looked up and said, "No~"
"Come to my second brother's place, and I'll ask someone to bring you some pastries," Yinreng said.
Cheng'an usually ate pastries in the afternoon. When he heard his words, a light flashed in his eyes. Then, without waiting for Yinzhi to react, he rolled to the ground and ran back to Yinreng.
After Yinreng held the person in his arms again, he really ordered someone to get some cakes.
In the past, when Cheng'an was playing in places like Haman Palace or the harem, he would sometimes eat the day's cakes in the morning.
This was not a big deal, so after Yinreng spoke, everyone quickly stepped back to prepare.
"Yinreng, you are despicable!" Yinzhi said angrily when he saw that he actually used pastries to coax people away.
If it is said that Yinreng had a particularly bad temper for a period of time before he was deposed, then he gradually regained his early rationality after being locked up in Xian'an Palace during these years, and with the arrival of Cheng'an, his temperament unconsciously became more peaceful.
Holding the milky little guy in his arms, Yinreng will ignore him to the end.
After seeing this scene, the princes felt that this was indeed the eldest brother and second brother they knew.
The two of them had been at odds for a long time, but Yinzhen was used to it. After sitting down next to Yinreng, he looked at the little one in his arms who was waiting for pastries with great anticipation.
"Fourth brother~" Cheng An met his gaze and called out with a smile.
Yinzhen touched his little face and saw that he was wearing the cat-tail coat but had no cat ears on his head. He asked casually, "Where are your cat ears?"
When the little guy heard his words, he immediately twisted his two little hands together and gently pinched his own fingers.
Yinreng saw through his guilty conscience at a glance, smiled, untied his twisted hands, and asked, "But is it broken?"
When Cheng'an heard his words, he didn't answer, but secretly looked at his fourth brother.
Yinzhen still didn't understand something, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "It's okay. Fourth brother will ask someone to make another one for you."
The cat ear was indeed broken. Maybe children always have a lot of creative ideas. One day, when the little guy tried to put the cat ear on the pillar, it broke directly.
Seeing that his fourth brother was not angry and even said that he would make another one for him, Cheng'an immediately opened his arms and threw himself into his arms, and Yinreng couldn't hold him back.
Holding the little fellow who threw himself into his arms, Yinzhen didn't show it in front of him, but he was happy inside. He touched his little head and asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable in the past two days?"
"No~" Cheng An hugged his neck and shook his head.
Yinreng was thinking about bringing him back, but when he heard this, he was immediately distracted and asked, "I heard that Cheng'an was in a coma for seven days a few days ago? What happened?"
Upon hearing this question, Yinzhi, who was thinking about how to snatch the person away, also became serious.
Yesterday Liang Jiugong only said that he was in a coma but did not tell the reason. Yinzhi felt a little worried after thinking about it.
When Yinzhen heard this question, he remembered that his father had told him not to make it public, so he simply said, "That day, he prayed for rain, and after it rained, he fell into a deep sleep when he came back."
He omitted the fact that Cheng'an was a dragon and that the rain was caused by him, which made Yinreng subconsciously think, "Did he get caught in the rain?"
"How old is he? Why would they bring him along for the heaven sacrifice?" Yinzhi thought the same and couldn't help but ask.
Yinzhen neither denied nor confirmed it, and then a palace maid came up with cakes.
When Yinzhi saw this, he rushed over and picked up the pastries on the tray before anyone could react.
Not to mention the palace maid, even the other princes were shocked by his behavior.
Yinzhi didn't care about them. After getting the cakes, he sat down leisurely and said to Cheng'an, "Come and eat the cakes."
The appeal of pastries was still very great, and since Yinzhen did not stop him, Cheng'an simply got down from the ground and ran towards him.
Yinsi had just sat down next to Yinzhi, and when he saw that he was running a little too fast, he reminded him, "Slow down."
The little fellow, who had already smelled the sweet aroma of the pastries, couldn't slow down and came to Yinzhi in a rush.
Yinzhi smiled and held him in his arms, then handed the plate of pastries to him and said, "Eat."
"Second brother wants to eat cakes too."
Just as Cheng'an picked up a piece of cake, Yinreng suddenly spoke.
Hearing his voice, the little guy immediately wanted to go over to him to eat, but Yinzhi reacted quickly and hugged him tightly: "Ignore him, why would such a big person eat cakes."
"Eat, second brother~"
Cheng An is a good baby who is willing to share. It is rare that his brother asks for food, so he must let his brother have it. Therefore, he twisted his body and said, "Brother, come on, An An."
Yinzhi didn't want him to go find Yinreng, let alone give him cakes, so he hugged him tighter.
"Brother, you're hurting him." Yinsi knew how strong he was, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pull the dragon's tail off with such a casual pull. When he saw Cheng'an's little brows slightly wrinkled, he quickly reminded him.
After hearing Yinsi's words, Yinzhi quickly relaxed a little. At the same time, Yinreng, who was walking over with a cold face, directly carried Cheng'an away.
He just said he wanted to eat cakes, and he really wanted to coax Cheng'an over with this, but he didn't expect Yinzhi to be so careless and come over in person to snatch him away in displeasure.
"Second brother, eat~" After Cheng An fell into his arms, he did not forget to raise the pastry in his hand.
Seeing that he was just saying that, he insisted on giving it to him. Yinreng felt that this child was really lovable.
"Does it hurt?" His kindness certainly didn't want to be wasted, but Yinreng didn't have time to eat the cakes at the moment.
Seeing that he was trying to snatch the person away, Yinzhi stood up with an unhappy look on his face. When he was about to snatch the person back, he heard these words and stopped immediately.
Although he didn't do it on purpose, after being reminded, he realized that he did use some force, and he started to worry.
Next to him, Yin'e, who had been here for such a long time but had not touched his brother, was already a little unhappy. Seeing this, he could not help but say, "Cheng'an is still so young, big brother, don't you know how to hold back a little bit!"
Cheng'an did feel a little uncomfortable when Yinzhi hugged him just now, but now he didn't feel anything, so he shook his head and continued to feed Yinreng cakes.
Seeing that he had touched the pastry to his lips and took a bite, Yinreng still felt a little worried and put him on his lap, then reached out to untie his clothes.
The little guy's skin was white and tender. When his clothes were untied, a red mark on his belly was immediately exposed. Although it was so light that it would disappear soon, it was still visible.
Seeing this, the other princes looked at Yinzhi with accusatory eyes.
Yinzhi didn't expect that he actually hurt the person by hugging her, and he felt a little regretful, but he also felt a little angry and embarrassed when they looked at him like that.
The little guy noticed that everyone was blaming his elder brother, and quickly shook his head and said, "An An doesn't feel any pain."
Compared to the stomachache he had vividly remembered last time, he didn't really feel much of Yinzhi's strength just now. At most, he felt a little uncomfortable at the time.
When Yinzhi heard his words, all other emotions were replaced by regret, and he admitted his mistake consciously: "It's my fault, big brother. I will pay more attention next time."
After saying this, he put the plate in his hand on the table and slapped his right hand twice with his left hand to teach himself a lesson.
"Don't hit me!" The little guy said quickly when he saw Brother Da hitting himself.
Yinreng originally wanted to mock Yinzhi, but when he saw that he couldn't bear to hit the soft-hearted little guy in his arms, he swallowed the words.
"Apply some ointment to Cheng'an." Yinxiang said, holding up the ointment that had just been brought to him.
In fact, the red marks on Cheng'an's body were almost disappearing, but Yinreng still applied a thin layer of ointment on him.
This kind of ointment is rare even in the palace. It can dissolve blood stasis and remove scars when applied to wounds. It can also have the effect of whitening and beautifying the skin when applied to non-injuries. That's why Yinreng dared to let him use it without any worries.
Cheng'an's stomach is full of ticklish spots, and he laughs non-stop when he touches them.
Hearing his laughter, the brothers were infected and a faint smile appeared on their faces again.
After applying the medicine, Yinreng asked Yinzhen to help him put on his clothes while he went to wash his hands.
After he sat back down, Cheng An continued to hand over the pastries in his hand.
Seeing that he was still thinking about giving himself cakes, Yinreng smiled and lowered his head to take another bite.
"Is it delicious?" Cheng An asked, holding the remaining half piece of cake in his hand.
Perhaps Kangxi had specifically instructed that the pastry should be lighter in taste and not so sweet.
But Yinreng thought it was the best cake he had ever eaten, and nodded, "It tastes great."
When the little guy heard what he said, he couldn't help but lower his head and took a bite, then nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious~"
Yinreng was slightly stunned when he saw his action, and the next second he saw him put the bitten pastry back in front of him.
For Yinreng, who had been living a life of luxury since childhood, he had never eaten a piece of cake with anyone else. However, thinking that it was the little guy's intention, he still opened his mouth and ate it.
Yin'e was very envious when he saw this scene, so he said, "Tenth Brother Cheng'an wants to eat cakes too!"
When the little guy heard what he said, he immediately ran down to get the second piece of cake.
"And me, I want to eat too." Yinzhen joined in the fun.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng An quickly picked up the last piece of cake on the plate.
Yinzhi was a little unhappy when he saw this, and he also said, "Big brother wants to eat too."
Cheng'an looked at his three brothers in turn, then held up the two pieces of cake in his hands with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing him frown, Yinzhi said maliciously: "Don't forget the third brother, he wants to eat too."
After turning his head to look at him again, the little guy started to use his brain and broke the two pieces of cake into two halves on the plate.
Seeing that he could actually come up with a solution, Yinzhen curled his lips and suddenly said, "I suddenly feel like eating some cakes, too."
Upon hearing this, Cheng An grabbed half of the cake and broke it in half without even turning his head.
Seeing this, Yinxiang thought that if they were going to share, they should share it fairly, so he also spoke up and brought along his fourth brother: "Cheng'an, my fourth brother and I want to eat too."
Afterwards, Yinyou, Yinlu, Yinwei, Yinlu and Yinli were also unwilling to fall behind.
Fortunately, Yinqi was at the Queen Mother's place, Yinyi and the others were still studying and didn't come over, and Yinsi didn't want to embarrass him so he didn't ask, otherwise he wouldn't know how many pieces the two pieces of cake would be broken into.
"Is that enough?"
The brothers found it very interesting to see him standing in front of the plate and breaking cakes for them, and they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
Cheng An broke the cake with his hands, and in the end he didn't know if there were enough to share, but the cake had been broken into pieces so small that it could not be broken any further.
"Brother, eat~"
After breaking the cake, the little guy started to feed it nearby.
Although the cake was broken into pieces by him and not even enough for one bite, Yinzhi did not dislike it. He ate it and praised it, "It's delicious."
Hearing his words, Cheng An smiled happily as if he had eaten it himself, and turned around to feed the other brothers.
Although the brothers teased him, they did not waste his kindness. They ate the food and praised him.
Although Yinsi didn't say anything, Cheng'an didn't leave him out when he fed him: "Brother, eat~"
"It's delicious." After eating, Yinsi touched his little head with a smile.
The little guy was running around the hall feeding his brothers, but he probably thought it was very interesting as well, with a bright smile on his face.
After feeding him a round, there was still a small piece left on the plate. Cheng An put it into his mouth with his eyes slightly shining.
"You gave them all to us. What will Cheng'an do if he has no cakes to eat?" Yin'e felt that he looked pitiful, reached out and hugged him in his arms and asked.
"An An, eat it~" The little guy opened his mouth and let him see a small piece of pastry in his mouth that had not yet completely melted.
Seeing the pastry on the tip of his tongue, which was not even as big as a fingernail, Yin'e laughed but then felt that they were simply bullying the child, especially when he saw that he was eating it so happily.
