"Mother~" As soon as Yinzuo entered the Yonghe Palace, he called out coquettishly.
Depin is pregnant now, and pregnant women tend to worry a lot. In the past few days, she secretly cried several times because of Xiaoliu's move to the palace.
But I never thought that even though the little guy moved to Chengqian Palace, he still spent most of the day in Yonghe Palace to accompany me. It was not much different from before, and my mood finally returned to its former peace.
"Hey, mom is here."
Although Xiaoliu moved to Chengqian Palace, the fish he raised and his two most precious little turtles remained in Yonghe Palace. When Depin had nothing to do, she would help feed them.
Following the direction where his mother's voice came from, Yinzuo turned a corner and trotted over, but he stopped three steps away from his mother.
He moved slowly, walked forward, pulled my mother's clothes, stared at her abdomen, and asked softly: "Is it well behaved today? Did it make me uncomfortable?"
Depin slowly squatted down, took out the silk handkerchief she carried with her from her lapel, and wiped the sweat from the forehead of the little guy who was running and sweating profusely.
"Mother is fine. Didn't I tell you not to visit her so often? Spend more time with the Imperial Concubine and your brother." As a mother, Depin naturally had to consider her child. She was worried that the Imperial Concubine would be unhappy and Xiaoliu would suffer.
"Xiao Liu knows. By the way, your mother is teaching your fourth brother how to read. He didn't come with me today. The weather is good today. My fifth brother and I made an appointment to play spinning tops in the Imperial Garden this afternoon. I just came to see your mother. I will leave soon~"
The imperial concubine is now Yinzuo's adoptive mother, so her title has naturally changed.
Depin nodded. The emperor attached great importance to the knowledge of the princes, so it would be better for the imperial concubine to teach Xiaosi to read and write as early as possible, so that he would not be unable to keep up with the progress of the teachers' teaching when he went to the study room.
"Fifth Prince? How come you became friends with him?" The Empress Dowager kept a close eye on the Fifth Prince, who seldom went out for a walk. Depin really didn't know when they became friends.
"I saw him last time when I went to Ciren Palace to pay my respects to Mama. He showed me a lot of his fun things. I told him that the Emperor personally taught me how to play with a spinning top, and he insisted on competing with me. So I made an appointment with him to compete in the Imperial Garden today."
"You, don't be too competitive and hurt yourself." Depin warned worriedly.
"I have my mother and the baby in her belly cheering me on, so I won't get hurt~" Yinqi is only three months older than him, but Yinzuo doesn't believe that he will lose to him!
"Mother can cheer you up, but the baby in her belly is still small. How can she cheer you up?" Depin was amused by him.
"As long as I put my ear to my mother's belly, I can hear the baby cheering for me~"
"Then you try it." Depin stood up, spread out her hands, and faced her abdomen towards Xiaoliu.
Yinzuo had only been a younger brother before, and this was the first time he was going to be an older brother. He carefully put his ear against his mother's belly. Although he actually heard nothing, he felt that the baby in his mother's belly must be cheering for him.
"Did you hear that? What did the baby say? Tell it to mother too." Depin teased him deliberately.
"The baby said he wouldn't tell mommy~hehe~~" Yinzuo tilted his little head to keep the secret.
Depin pinched his little face hard.
"How dare you hide this from me, you little rascal? I'll pinch your little face to vent my anger."
Xiaoliu's body was soft and plump, and Depin liked to pinch him from time to time. After pinching him, all the worries in her heart would disappear and she felt great.
If Yinzuo knew what his mother was thinking, he would definitely know that this is what modern people often call stress relief.
Since his mother was pregnant, Yinzuo didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting his mother and the baby in her belly. He could only pout his lips and let her do whatever she wanted.
"Mother, have you pinched enough? If you're any later, Brother Five will probably get impatient waiting~"
Depin let out her annoyance, gave a relaxed smile, and then slowly let go of Xiaoliu's chubby face.
"Go ahead, go ahead, but don't play too late, go back early."
Seeing that his mother had finally returned to her usual dignified and gentle appearance, Yinzuo was finally relieved. He had been staying by his mother's side since he was born. His mother had been in a bad mood and was restless recently, so how could he not notice it? That's why he often came to accompany her and have fun to relieve her boredom.
"Then I'll be leaving. I'll come to see mother tomorrow~~" Yinzuo shouted loudly as he ran out.
"Didn't I just tell this child that he doesn't have to come every day?" Depin said no, but she was still very happy when she heard Xiaoliu say this.
Lian Xin, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is filial to you. Even though he has moved to Chengqian Palace, you are still the one he is closest to."
"I don't know if Nanny Cheng and Lu Wu have taken good care of him. I think Xiaoliu has lost some weight."
Lianxin and Aunt Qing looked at each other and shook their heads and laughed. The Sixth Prince had clearly gained some weight, and only the Empress thought he had lost weight.
When Yinzuo rushed to the imperial garden, he found that his fifth brother was already waiting for him there, so he quickly trotted over.
"Fifth brother, you came so early!"
The Fifth Prince had been waiting in the sun for quite a while, so it was inevitable that he was a little angry.
"I thought you wouldn't come today! You're so slow." The Fifth Prince complained in Manchu.
"Good fifth brother, I'm sorry. I just passed by Yonghe Palace and went to pay my respects to my mother. I didn't mean to be late. Please don't be angry with me." Yinzuo hugged his arm and admitted his mistake in a soft tone.
Yinqi was not a stingy person, and Xiaoliu's attitude was so good that he immediately stopped saying anything.
"You have a really good relationship with your mother." Yinqi was a little envious.
"Ah? Could it be that you have a bad relationship with Concubine Yi? But when I went to pay my respects to Mama last time, I saw that she clearly loved you very much."
"But she seldom comes to see me. Mammy says she doesn't want to make Mammy angry."
Yinzuo scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to persuade her. Concubine Yi must have her considerations.
"But no matter what, your mother must be doing this for your own good. You don't know that my mother is pregnant with a baby now. It's so hard. She can't eat or sleep well every day, and she vomits all the time. Hey, when my mother and her family were pregnant with us, it must have been so hard. Don't blame her."
Little carrot-head Yinqi opened his eyes wide. It was the first time he heard of such a thing. He nodded slowly and said hesitantly, "Well, I won't blame her."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's play spinning tops!" Yinzuo brought the topic to their agreement this time.
"Okay! I will definitely beat you!" When Yinqi heard the word "spinning top", he was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and instantly forgot about his mother.
In Yinqi's inner words, his mother couldn't play with him, so what was there to think about?
The two little guys were still very young, and their spinning tops would never spin for long, so they were in no position to fight with each other. Instead, they competed at the most basic level, and whoever could serve the ball successfully and make it spin longer would win.
Although Yinqi was stronger than Yinzuo, he did not master the skills, so he lost several times in a row.
"I don't want to play anymore! I always lose, it's not fun at all."
Yinzuo was not angry at all, and asked him with a smile: "Then how do you say we play?"
"Let them play for us!" Yinqi said, pointing at a young eunuch beside him.
Yinzuo blinked his eyes. Let someone else take over? Then does this still count as playing by himself? But seeing how angry Fifth Brother was just now, if he didn't give in to him, he would be really unhappy.
"Oh well."
Yinzuo naturally also had his own eunuchs, who were chosen for him by his noble mother. They were twins, one named Shunfeng and the other Shunshui.
"Shunshui, come on."
"Hey!" Shunshui is the younger brother, who is usually quite proficient in these toys. Shunfeng is the older brother, who has a more mature and solemn personality.
The two servants were of similar age, so the game was relatively fair, and Yinzuo was the winner in the end.
Seeing that Yinqi was about to turn into a puffer fish with anger, Yinzuo quickly called Shunshui aside and gave him a few words of advice.
"Well, be more accommodating and don't let others see it, understand?"
Shunshui was also smart and immediately understood what his young master meant.
"Sixth Prince, don't worry."
Shunshui had the advantage at the beginning this time, but when he swung the whip, he somehow did not use the right strength, and the gyroscope was hit by the opponent and flew away. Shunshui showed an annoyed expression.
Yinqi immediately jumped up with joy.
"I won! I won! Hehehe!"
"Congratulations, fifth brother. You are so awesome~" Yinzuo walked forward to congratulate him with a smile.
Yinqi scratched his head a little embarrassedly. When Xiaoliu won just now, he got angry. But this time when he won, Xiaoliu smiled and praised him. Xiaoliu was so nice.
"Xiao Liu, I will play with you in the future!"
"Okay~" It was boring to stay in the palace anyway, so it would be good to have a friend to play with. Yinzuo was very happy.
"Come on, didn't you like my flying bamboo dragonfly last time? Let's go back to Ciren Palace now, I want to give it to you!" Yinqi is a kind-hearted person. He will be very kind to whoever he likes. So, he immediately took Xiaoliu's hand and ran to Ciren Palace.
"Slow down, fifth brother. We don't need to rush." Yinzuo also liked this brother very much. He had no bad intentions and was a very easy-to-get-along child.
Unfortunately, when they returned to Ciren Palace, they found that the Emperor and the Crown Prince were there.
"Greetings to the Emperor and the Crown Prince." The two little guys knelt on the ground together.
"Xiaoliu pays his respects to Mama." Yinzuo said one more sentence than Yinqi.
"Hurry up and get up. Yinqi woke up early today and said that he and Xiaoliu had an appointment to go to the Imperial Garden together. I think you two get along well."
"What are you playing? Tell me." Kangxi pulled the two little guys to his front, hugged one in each hand and asked with a smile.
"It's a spinning top~" Yinqi seldom saw the emperor so he was a little scared. It was Yinzuo who answered.
"Is it fun? I was the one who taught Xiaoliu how to play the spinning top."
Xiaowu Yinqi lowered his head and said shyly: "Xiaoliu won, he played very well."
The empress dowager's smile faded a little. She had raised Xiaowu, but he was not as good as Xiaoliu, who was three months younger than her. How could she be happy?
"Xiaoliu still has to thank the Emperor. It's all because of his good teaching. But fifth brother also won, we all won~" Yinzuo was thinking about the best for everyone.
With his words, both the Queen Mother and Kangxi smiled.
"Oh? So powerful? How about Xiaoliu come with me back to Yuqing Palace later and compete with me?" The prince looked at the little guy with interest. He had wanted to take Xiaoliu back to play for a long time. Today was a coincidence and the timing was just right.
The eldest brother Yinqi on the side was unhappy. Xiaoliu came to play with him, so why did the Crown Prince want to snatch Xiaoliu from him?
Kangxi smiled and said, "I also taught the prince personally when he was young, but your sixth brother is still young, what are you competing with him for?"
"Mother, look at the Crown Prince, he is bullying the weak~ hum~~" little Yinzuo said with a pout.
"Hahahaha." The Queen Mother also laughed out loud. She was very happy that Xiaoliu was willing to be close to her.
"Listen, Prince. Although Xiaoliu is young, he is not someone you can easily fool. You cannot bully him in front of me."
"How dare I, my grandson? I just want to take him back and teach him a lesson." The prince smiled and pretended to beg for mercy.
