Chapter 5
Yinzuo looked at his father for a while, then turned his head to look at his mother, his heart filled with joy. Kangxi and Depin were also talking about Yinzuo, and they both noticed the little guy's smiling face with his eyes curved, and the two adults couldn't help but soften their gazes.
Kangxi couldn't help but say, "I don't know who this child looks like. Why does she love to laugh so much?" Kangxi himself was definitely not like that, and Concubine De didn't smile so foolishly.
But when this kid grows up, he will definitely not be like this. Only in the past two years when he was young and didn't know much, he would have such pure and silly smiles. As the king of a country, Kangxi always faced all kinds of people with unpredictable hearts, but he was relaxed in front of such a child, and for a moment he felt a little rare in his heart.
Yinzuo leaned on his mother and no longer insisted on jumping on his father, but he pulled his father's big hand to play. Kangxi had never been played with like this before. The little guy's hand was small and could only hold one of his fingers. The soft hand was messing around in his palm, making him feel itchy. Kangxi, who was relaxed at this time, actually tolerated it and let the child play.
At this moment, he actually looked a bit like a kind father.
With a father, a mother and a son, they look like a happy family.
Yinzuo was extremely happy. Actually, he was not a fool. In his previous life, the boy who was like a little prince also loved to laugh, but his laugh was gentle, not like this one. It even made Kangxi worry for a moment that his son was not very smart and that he was born with fewer brains than other children.
The little baby's big curved eyes seemed to be filled with the warmth and brightness of spring. He was so happy that he didn't even care about the maltose he was longing for.
Uh, no, he still cared a little. When the eunuch brought the maltose to him, Yinzuo stretched his body and his neck seemed to be stretched as long as a giraffe.
But Depin didn't want to give him more candy, so she had someone cut a small piece for him in an attempt to fool him. However, Yinzuo was very smart and could not be fooled.
He didn't even look at the candy crumbs that were no bigger than a fingernail, but reached out to the biggest piece and said, "That, that one!"
Depin tricked Yinzuo into saving a large piece of candy for tomorrow, but Yinzuo was not fooled. If he asked for it now, his mother would not give it to him tomorrow.
Kangxi had never stopped such a trivial lawsuit over a piece of candy. He was impatient with this kind of harassment over a piece of candy, so he said, "Give it to him if he wants it."
How could he be so stingy as an emperor? He promised his son maltose as a tribute from Jiangnan, so how could he only give him a few crumbs of sugar?
Since the emperor had spoken, Depin had no choice but to follow the greedy youngest son's wishes, gave him the biggest piece, and tapped his little nose angrily.
Although Kangxi, as a father, had many children, he did not raise any of them personally. Even for the special Crown Prince, it can only be said that Kangxi taught him personally, but it cannot be said that he raised him personally.
As a father, he was generous in front of his child, not understanding at all that Depin didn't want Yinzuo to eat more candy. Medicine tasted bitter, and every time after taking it, his youngest son loved to eat something sweet to sweeten his mouth.
Knowing that he had disobeyed her and offended her, Yinzuo smiled at her ingratiatingly and rubbed her shoulders coquettishly, which made Depin unable to hold back any longer. She said angrily, "You've brought the candy, but you're not in a hurry to eat it?"
Seeing Depin smile, Yinzuo also smiled with his eyes curved. Even before he put the candy into his mouth, he felt that the sweetness in his heart was sweeter than the candy.
He felt at ease in front of his mother, with an inexplicable sense of confidence, not afraid of making her angry, knowing that she would not really be angry with him. This feeling was particularly good, and he always felt like he was back in the past. Before his mother was not around, he was always worried that he would make others angry, and that someone would no longer want him or care about him.
But now that worry is gone.
Now he has a mother, a father and a home.
Peace of mind.
Depin held the candy, and Yinzuo licked the sweet candy, thinking in his heart, why weren't my mother and father here before? Did they get separated from him?
When was the past? A picture flashed through Yinzuo's mind. The little boy in the picture was much older than he was now, but only as tall as the table. The boy saw a man and a woman holding a child of about his age and walking away from him. He felt a sour envy in his heart.
Yinzuo frowned and felt a little dizzy. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and the scene disappeared again.
Yinzuo licked the candy again. Hey, although his parents had lost him before, now they were together. He didn't need to envy others. He was very happy. He wouldn't blame his parents. He was the best child in the world. Every parent would envy him. His parents would not be willing to abandon such a good child if they knew him!
Depin held the candy and asked Yinzuo to suck it. She now understood that the baby had no teeth and could only eat a little bit after sucking for a long time. In fact, she was too worried just now.
Yinzuo felt unsatisfied, so he took the candy from his mother and tried to hold it with great effort.
The little guy seemed to be eating some of the most delicious food in the world. Kangxi watched him and said, "Seeing how deliciously he eats, I want to eat it too."
There was still some on the plate, so of course he could eat it.
But the good son Yinzuo actively expressed his filial piety to his father. He took out the candy in his mouth and handed it to Kangxi without hesitation, "Father, here you go."
What a pity! Kangxi looked at the candy cubes dripping with saliva coming out of his son's mouth and felt disgusted. He was not a kind father at all. This guy held Yinzuo's arm as if he was facing a great enemy, turned the candy cube in his hand and returned it to him, saying, "Yinzuo should eat it himself. Your Majesty will not eat it anymore."
Kangxi also said: "Your mother only allows you to eat this piece today." He has already learned to be a good person in front of his son without any guidance at such an early age! Let Depin be the bad person.
Depin nodded and said, "Yes, only this one piece today." She would not let him finish this piece, and would take it away from him when she found a chance!
Yinzuo didn’t know what his mother was up to, but the maltose tributed from Jiangnan was so delicious, fragrant and sweet. Yinzuo cleverly used his only two teeth, which were as small as millet grains, to grind it, making it taste even sweeter this way!
Yinzuo was eating candy and listening to Concubine De and Kangxi talking. They were talking about someone's birthday banquet. Yinzuo didn't understand at first and had no interest in listening. He was bored, so his little claws reached out to Kangxi's big hand again. He wanted to play again!
Kangxi's hands became sticky and his expression changed drastically in an instant, while the culprit's pair of black eyes looked innocent.
This was his own son, and he was less than one year old. What could Kangxi do? He just glared at his son, but the little guy was not afraid. Kangxi also had no way to deal with the culprit.
Kangxi wiped his hands several times with a handkerchief until the sticky feeling disappeared. He even pointed at Yinzuo and said to him, "You little bastard!"
Yinzuo, however, thought that Kangxi's sudden change in expression was quite interesting. His black eyes rolled around, and after Kangxi's words, he continued to chew the candy innocently and obediently, while Kangxi asked Depin whether he was teaching her to speak and at what age she should be taught the rules.
Kangxi was still resentful about his youngest son playing with his hands as if they were toys. He wanted his youngest son to respect the rules and regulations for him as a king and father, the style of an imperial son that he was familiar with.
However, Depin didn't think so. Her son was still young, lively and cute, so there was nothing wrong with it. After saving her son from the brink of death, Depin became more indulgent towards her younger son and didn't think there was anything wrong with him at all - he was just a little kid and was far from learning the rules.
But the little guy was brave, and before he had enough fun with his fussy father, his little brain turned, and the idea of playing a prank came to his mind. He fell towards Kangxi again, knocked his little head on Kangxi's shoulder, and his sticky paws stuck to Kangxi's chest.
This is not the point. The point is that his little face finally rubbed against Kangxi's cheek and neck, and his saliva also rubbed against it.
Kangxi was shocked by the attack, and his scalp was numb. Oh my god, even if this was his own son, a son less than one year old, Kangxi was still angry, "Yinzuo!"
Kangxi grabbed the ball lying on his shoulder, but the little guy didn't feel his father's anger at all after doing something bad. The little guy who did something bad just laughed!
