When Yinzhi saw Yin'e's actions, he thought that he, who came first, had never been so close to his younger brother, so he reached out and grabbed the person away again.
When the little guy fell into his arms, there was an itchy smile on his face. The next second, he saw him lowering his head and rubbing against him gently.
"Hehehe..." Cheng An laughed so hard that his little hands and feet started shaking.
The little guy's body was soft and had a faint milky scent. Yinzhi imitated Yin'e's movements, hugged him and took a sip, and felt better.
When he raised his head, his face was full of smiles. He even held the little one in his arms and said to Yinzhen, "Cheng'an smells so good. Do you want to try it, fourth brother?"
Although it was a bit itchy, the little guy really liked the feeling of being close to his brother. After hearing his words, he took the initiative to stretch out his hands towards his fourth brother.
Seeing the obedient little fellow taking the initiative to suck, Yinzhen was somewhat tempted, but he was used to restraining himself, and in the end he just hugged the boy in his arms, and did not bury his head in sucking the cub like his two brothers did.
When Cheng'an woke up after being in a coma for seven days during the sacrifice, the brothers all thought he had lost weight, and in the following days they hoped that he could gain back the lost weight.
Holding the little guy whom he hadn't seen for a few days, Yinzhen walked him to the Luohan bed while looking at him. He felt relieved when he saw that he looked good and his little face was chubby.
After Yinzhen sat down holding Cheng'an, Yinzhi and Yin'e quickly followed.
"What has Cheng'an been doing these days?" Perhaps influenced by him, Yinzhi unconsciously used "ah" when asking questions.
The little guy sitting in Yinzhen's arms said without hesitation: "An An misses his brother!"
"I guess this little mouth must have eaten candy this morning, it's so sweet." Yin'e laughed when he heard his words.
Cheng An immediately raised his head and said, "An An didn't eat the candy."
"Tenth brother is praising you." Yin'e said, then turned around and told someone to bring up the things he brought, and said, "Look what good things Tenth brother brought you."
Soon, a not-small wooden box was brought up by the eunuch beside him, and Yin'e directly opened the box and poured out the contents.
Crash——
The box was full of large and small pieces of wood, and there was quite a lot of noise when they were poured out.
"Wow!" When Cheng'an saw the pile of wood, although he didn't understand what it was used for, he still shouted in applause.
"What are you going to do with all that wood?" Yinzhi asked.
Yin'e explained: "This is not ordinary wood."
After saying that, he found two pieces of wood in the pile and started to put them together. These pieces of wood with mortise and tenon structure were very stable when put together.
Cheng'an had come across toys with mortise and tenon structures before, such as the Luban Lock.
After seeing Yin'e's actions, he immediately climbed out of Yinzhen's arms with interest, sat in the pile of wood and started fiddling with it.
After these pieces of wood are put together, they actually form a miniature restaurant. It is quite fun to play with, and it gives people a sense of accomplishment when it is completed.
However, it was still quite difficult for Cheng'an, so Yinzhen and Yinzhi soon began to help him.
"So the Emperor asked you to go to the Ministry of Works, and that's why you're busy with this?" Yinzhi said as he helped to put the pieces together.
Yin'e felt a little guilty when he heard this, but he was very firm: "Third brother, you can't slander me out of thin air. I do real work in the Ministry of Industry."
"Then where did this come from?" Yinzhi asked, pointing at the wood in front of him.
"I..." Yin'e quickly thought of a reason, "I just wanted to see how good the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry is, so I asked them to make this. I can't let it go to waste after it's done, so I gave it to Cheng'an to play with."
While the two of them were talking, Cheng'an had already pieced together the bottom of the restaurant with Yinzhen's help.
"What is this?" Cheng'an turned around and asked Yinzhen, holding a piece of wood.
Yinzhen shook his head and led his hand to the correct position: "It's here."
I have to say, it was quite a sense of accomplishment to see the structure of the restaurant gradually unfold in front of him. Soon, Yinzhi was too lazy to care about Yin'e's situation in the Ministry of Works and devoted himself to the work.
"Look carefully, don't mess around."
“Isn’t this piece here?”
"It's obviously here..."
Yinzhen and his companions were all smart people. They quickly worked with Cheng'an to put all the wood together to build a two-story restaurant, and even hung a small plaque on the restaurant.
"Wow——Brother, it's so annoying~"
When Cheng'an saw the small house in front of him, he clapped his hands non-stop.
"Your idea is good, but it is not detailed enough. It would be better if these doors and windows could be opened, and you could also prepare some tables, chairs and benches inside." Yinzhi said.
Yin'e almost rolled his eyes when he heard his words, and asked back: "Should I build the lobby and staircase boxes in the restaurant?"
"That's naturally better." Yinzhi nodded.
Yin'e didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head and looked at Cheng'an and said, "Do you like the small restaurant that Brother Ten gave you?"
"Oh my~" the little guy said, and directly reached out and hugged the small restaurant in front of him, his love for it was beyond words.
This wooden restaurant is not actually that small. It is almost as tall as he is sitting.
Seeing that he liked it, Yin'e smiled happily, feeling that his efforts were not in vain.
After Cheng An finished carrying the restaurant, his curiosity came up again, and he looked up and asked him, "What is Yijiu Tower?"
"A restaurant is a place to eat..."
When Yin'e heard his question, he immediately started talking incessantly. He mentioned the major restaurants in the capital and commented on which restaurant had the best food.
"Stop talking. Cheng'an will drool if you keep talking." Yinzhi saw Cheng'an's slightly open mouth and interrupted him with a smile.
The little one who was feeling greedy quickly pursed his lips when he heard his brother's words.
After being reminded, Yin'e suddenly had a bad taste in his mouth. He not only introduced some of the restaurant's signature dishes, but also mentioned other snacks in the capital: "...red candied haws, which taste sweet and sour; donkey rolls..."
Listening to his introduction, Cheng An's eyes lit up, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips became slightly moist.
Finally, Yinzhen couldn't bear it anymore, so he reached out and hugged the little guy in his arms, then glanced at Yin'e with a cold look, warning him to stop.
"There is a shop in the east of the city that specializes in selling gourd chicken. Their gourd chicken is first boiled, then steamed, and finally fried. It is so fragrant and tastes so tender and crispy. It is very delicious."
This is really making people cry with greed, so Yin'e stopped talking after talking about the unique gourd chicken from a restaurant in the east of the city.
Among all the princes, he was the least ambitious. He supported Yinsi in his bid for the throne because he had a good relationship with Yinlang and was influenced by him.
Precisely because of this, he is considered to know how to enjoy life among the princes. Just by looking at the fact that he can name so many delicious foods in the capital, we can tell that he eats and drinks out a lot on weekdays.
"An An wants to eat~" Cheng An swallowed his saliva and spoke in a baby voice.
After he finished speaking, Yinzhi looked at the culprit and gave him a look that said, "Let's see what you can do now."
Yin'e cleared his throat and said to him, "I'll bring it to you next time."
While speaking, he was already thinking about what was delicious and what Cheng'an could eat.
However, after hearing his vivid description, Cheng An wanted more than just to eat delicious food: "An An wants to eat at Yijiu Tower!"
There was no way, since they had just opened a restaurant and Yin'e said that there were so many delicious foods in the restaurant, which successfully attracted his attention.
If he just wanted to eat, it would be easy, Yin'e could pick out some food for him to eat and bring it over, but if he wanted to go to a restaurant, that was obviously not possible.
In the end, Yin'e could only point at the small wooden restaurant on Luohan's bed and joked with him: "Isn't the restaurant right here?"
Cheng An looked at the small restaurant that didn't have any good food. He shook his head, not wanting to be fooled: "No way!"
"This is the restaurant." Yin'e insisted.
After hearing his words, Cheng An puffed up his cheeks slightly, turned around and hugged Yin Zhen and said, "Fourth brother, An An misses Yijiu Tower!"
After Yinzhen glanced at Yin'e who caused this, he lowered his head and coaxed him softly, "Cheng'an is still young. When you are older, your fourth brother will take you to the restaurant."
"An An wants to go to Yijiu Lou..." Cheng An didn't want to wait and kept rubbing his head in his arms.
Seeing that he started to act like a spoiled child, Yinzhen couldn't help but look at Yin'e with cold eyes again.
After Yin'e looked away guiltily, he quickly helped to coax her, "Cheng'an, you are still young, you can't go out, or you will be slapped away by the beagle."
Although he knew he was just threatening, Yinzhen was still a little displeased to hear such words and glared at him immediately.
"Are you taking pictures of flowers?" Cheng'an turned his head curiously when he heard his words.
"The thieves are bad guys who like to catch children. Cheng'an is so handsome. If you go out, there will definitely be bad guys who want to catch you. Are you afraid?"
This is of course impossible. Not to mention that it is impossible for him to go out easily at his age, even if he really goes out, there are a lot of people guarding him openly and secretly, and ordinary people can't get close.
Yin'e just wanted to scare him and make him give up the idea.
However, when Cheng An heard his words, he shook his head and said, "An An, yi Ama, yi brother~"
What he meant was obviously that he had his father and brother, so he was not afraid of being beaten.
The older brothers felt quite satisfied to be trusted by their younger brother.
Especially Yin'e, who was getting a little angry. He had just threatened him to give up, but now he whispered, "Why don't we secretly take Cheng'an out to play and come back quickly..."
His voice got lower and lower, and he obviously knew that this proposal was a bit suicidal.
"Have you become so bold recently?" Yinzhi couldn't help asking when he saw how bold he was.
After hearing what he said, Yin'e scratched his face and said, "That means Cheng'an wants to go out."
"If he wants to go to heaven, will you take him there?" Yinzhi said.
In the end, Yin'e gave up the unreliable idea of secretly taking Cheng'an out, and worked with Yinzhen and others to divert the little guy's attention so that he would not think about it anymore.
There was still some time before noon, so the three people, fearing that they might run into Kangxi, had to leave.
Of course Cheng'an was reluctant to leave them, and followed everyone to the gate. In the end, Liu Cai and others persuaded him to go back into the house.
noon.
After Kangxi came back, he saw the wooden restaurant on the Luohan bed and couldn't help asking a few questions.
When he learned that Yinzhen and others came in the morning, he was not angry.
After all, Kangxi didn't really forbid his sons from visiting Cheng'an. He just wanted to warn them not to come to him all the time when they had nothing to do, or to take the person away directly.
There are still some benefits to sending his sons to the six ministries. For example, Kangxi has not been so busy these past two days. After lunch today, he can take Cheng'an for a walk by the lake.
Although the afternoon sun was a bit strong, it was still quite cool under the shade of the trees by the lake.
After taking a walk, the father and son did not go back, but went to Guanlan Pavilion to rest.
The little guy was very energetic and was running around when Kangxi sat down in front of the window.
After a while, he finally ran back to Kangxi, leaned over and lay on his knees, raised his little face and shouted: "Ama~"
The sunlight came in through the window, making his fair little face look even more adorable.
Kangxi lowered his eyes to look at him, and his voice unconsciously lowered: "What?"
"Ama An An wants to utter 'Eagle~'" Cheng An said in a baby voice.
Kangxi originally thought he was talking about leaving Guanlan Pavilion, but he didn't expect to hear him say the next second: "An An misses Yijiu Tower!"
Restaurant?
When Kangxi thought of the small wooden restaurant in Qingxi Study, his first reaction was that it was another of Yin'e's doing.
"The restaurant is not fun." Kangxi said casually.
The little guy immediately shook his head and told him: "Okay, Jiulouyi has delicious food~"
He had obviously eaten quite a lot at noon, but now when talking about food he became greedy again and even couldn't help biting his hands.
Kangxi pulled his little hand out of his mouth and said, "When did I ever lack you for food?"
When it comes to delicious food, not one out of ten chefs out there can compare with the royal chef’s cooking skills.
Cheng'an's attention was drawn to the restaurant and it was not so easy to dispel it. He kept pestering Kangxi to go out.
In this situation, even if Kangxi called Yin'e over and scolded him, it would be of no use.
The little guy has an excellent memory. The tactic of procrastination is useless to him. It can delay for a while, but not forever. As soon as he remembers something, he starts to act like a spoiled child and cling to others.
More than half a month later, seeing that he still remembered the matter, Kangxi, who had been pestered by him to no avail, was somewhat shaken.
A few days later, one night before going to bed, Cheng An thought about the restaurant again, and suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Father, An An misses Yijiu Lou~"
Kangxi was almost asleep when he was awakened by his words. He looked helpless and wondered how could a young man with such a wild heart? Changchun Garden, which was so big, was not enough for him to play.
Seeing that he had not forgotten this matter after so many days, Kangxi, who was half asleep and half awake, simply agreed: "Okay, okay, if you want to go, go ahead and go to sleep!"
Hearing his agreement, Cheng An's eyes lit up and he almost wanted to sit up and shout a few times, but when he thought of his father telling him to go to bed quickly, he quickly reached out and covered his eyes.
The next day.
As soon as Kangxi came back from the morning court, Cheng'an ran to him quickly, stretched out his hand for him to pick him up, and pointed outside and said, "Father, let's go!"
"Where are you going?" Kangxi asked, rubbing his head when he saw that he had just returned and he asked.
The little guy immediately said: "Yijiulou~"
After hearing his words, Kangxi belatedly remembered that he was woken up by him last night and he agreed to go out without thinking.
Of course he felt a little regretful, but it was not a big deal. Since he had already promised him, Kangxi would not go back on his word.
Just thinking about how he disturbed his sleep last night, Kangxi patted him on the buttocks and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it in two days."
Of course, Kangxi couldn't let him go out alone, so he had to follow him to feel at ease.
He is the emperor, and even if he is just making a secret visit within the capital, he still has to make some preparations, especially when he is bringing such a precious son with him, it is even more impossible for him to just leave.
Having waited for more than half a month, Cheng'an didn't mind these two days and immediately showed a happy expression.
But then he remembered something and quickly hugged Kangxi's neck and said, "I want my brother~"
Although he said it simply, Kangxi understood what he meant. Seeing that he was thinking about his brother no matter what he did, he felt that he was really a good brother.
"I don't know how much less worry I would have if your brothers had such a friendly brother like you." Kangxi said with a hint of sigh.
Everyone around him agreed to take him out, and Kangxi thought it wouldn't hurt to bring a few more people, especially as there would be more people to look after him when he went out.
However, even though they agreed, it was not realistic to bring all the princes with them. In the end, only Yinzhi, Yinreng, Yinzhi and Yinzhen could go together.
After Yin'e heard this, he thought that it was he who proposed it but he couldn't go with them, so he decided to go by himself and have a chance encounter.
After Yinsi and Yin'er tried to persuade him in vain, they thought that he had become more and more bold recently, and in order to prevent him from angering Kangxi, they decided to accompany him.
They were all preparing to go, and Yinzhen naturally didn't want to be left behind, so he expressed his desire to go with them.
Two days later.
After attending the morning court, Kangxi came back to change into his casual clothes, and then set off with Cheng'an, who had been waiting for a long time.
The little guy was wearing a normal long gown and jacket today, with a thin little hat on his head and a small jade pendant and purse hanging around his waist. He looked delicate and cute.
This was what Kangxi asked him to change. In Kangxi's opinion, those little clothes with tails were fine to wear at home, but it was inappropriate to wear them on the street.
You can go out and play. The little guy is quite well behaved and wears whatever you tell him to wear.
At the gate of Changchun Garden, Yinzhi and others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Kangxi's carriage coming out, they all saluted.
"Brother Da, Brother Two, Brother Shan, Brother Four~" The little guy in the carriage immediately stuck his head out after hearing his brothers' voices.
"Take it easy!" Seeing that he was about to fall out of the car window, Kangxi quickly pulled him back into his arms and ordered Yinzhi and others to get up and leave.
The little guy who returned to his arms was still restless and kept looking outside the car.
"Brother, give me a hug~"
Cheng'an saw that his fourth brother looked taller than usual while sitting on the horse, and couldn't help but stretch out his little hand towards him, trying to get him to carry him out of the car window.
Not to mention that Kangxi was still watching in the carriage, the danger level of this behavior itself was enough to make Yinzhen absolutely not do this, so he simply shook his head and refused.
The four princes were riding horses on both sides of the carriage. In addition to Yinzhen, there was also Yinreng.
Seeing that he refused, Cheng'an turned to Yinreng and said, "Give me a hug, second brother~"
"I'll hug you later." Yinreng refused politely.
Seeing that his brothers were unwilling to hug him, Cheng An felt a little aggrieved.
Seeing that he was still aggrieved, Kangxi patted his little butt and said, "Don't make trouble, or I will send you back directly."
"No." Upon hearing this, Cheng An quickly withdrew his little hand, but he still liked to lie on the windows on both sides and talk to his brother.
Seeing this, Kangxi was afraid that he might really jump out of the window if he wasn't paying attention, so he simply ordered people to stop the car and let Yinzhi and others get in.
The carriage was quite large, but it was still a bit crowded with four princes sitting on one side at the same time.
When Cheng'an saw his brothers coming up, he smiled so much that his eyes curved into crescents. He clapped his hands happily for a while and then rushed towards them.
Yinzhen, who was sitting in the middle, reached out to catch him and let him lean on his arms.
"Fourth brother~"
"Um."
After Yinzhen responded to him, he turned around and called his other brothers one by one. When he got a response, he smiled as if he had eaten honey.
Seeing how easily his happiness came, Yinreng and the others all laughed too.
After hanging out with his brothers for a while, Cheng'an thought of his father again.
The little guy was leaning on Yinreng at the moment. He turned around and saw Kangxi sitting there alone. He blinked and suddenly took Yinreng's hand and said, "Brother, let's go~"
His movements were a bit too big, and Yinreng was afraid that if he resisted he would fall due to inertia, so he stood up slightly due to his strength and was pulled to Kangxi's side.
When he was still the crown prince, Yinreng often stayed in Kangxi's palace, and it was common for him to sit with him.
But now, things have changed and people have changed. When Yinreng was pulled over, his expression immediately became a little unnatural.
"Sit down." Seeing that his body was a little stiff, Kangxi took the initiative to speak.
"Thank you, Father Emperor." After expressing his gratitude, Yinreng sat down in the seat farthest away from him.
There was a space between the father and son that was big enough for one person to sit, which made the little guy immediately look to the other side.
It was already restrained enough to ride in a carriage with the Emperor, and Yinzhi didn't want to sit next to him. When he saw Cheng'an looking at him, he quickly shook his head at him.
It was not known whether the little fellow understood what he meant, but he did not pull anyone from that side. Instead, he crawled to the seat between Kangxi and Yinreng and sat down.
With him standing in the middle, Yinreng relaxed a little almost unnoticeably.
"Father, An An, second brother is here to accompany me~" After the little guy sat down, he kicked his own two little feet and looked up to Kangxi to be nice.
It must be said that Kangxi was somewhat pleased to see that his brother was still thinking about him. He immediately smiled and touched his head and said jokingly: "Thank you very much."
Cheng An laughed out loud when he heard his words, and kicked his little feet even more happily.
He was in a very good mood to be able to hang out with his father and brothers. He looked at his brothers opposite him, then turned to look at his father and second brother on his left and right, and suddenly opened his arms and hugged one of their arms respectively.
Yinreng lowered his eyes and looked at the happy little guy, his gaze swept over the other arm in his arms.
After the carriage entered the main street of the capital, its speed began to slow down, and at the same time, the noisy sounds outside also entered the carriage.
"Tanghulu, sweet and sour Tanghulu~"
Hearing the shouting outside, Cheng An immediately loosened his arms, stood up from his seat and looked outside.
The little guy moved so quickly that Yinreng immediately went to help him after noticing it. At the same time, Kangxi did the same thing.
After the father and son bumped into each other, they looked at each other and each grabbed one of Cheng'an's arms to prevent him from falling out of the car window due to excessive excitement.
"Wow - look, Ama, look, brother!"
Cheng'an almost jumped up when he saw the lively scene on the street.
When the pedestrians on the street heard his childish voice and turned around, they saw such a cute little baby and smiled kindly at him.
