Chapter 9
The way the little guy sighs is both funny and heartbreaking, but those princes are not toys, and Depin cannot be transformed into a toy for Yinzuo to play with.
There was no need to think about the eldest prince and the crown prince. The third prince was still in a minister's house outside the palace. As for the fourth prince, Concubine De smiled slightly. The imperial concubine definitely didn't want her to contact him. And the fifth prince was in the empress dowager's palace, so she couldn't always go to the empress dowager. It would be suspected that she was bringing her child to get close to the empress dowager, which would make her look high-profile. Others would say that she was disturbing the empress dowager's peace, and the empress dowager herself didn't like to be involved in the struggles in the harem...
As for the Seventh Prince, he was even younger and had a foot disease when he was born, so Dai Jia would not welcome them as guests.
So after counting, no one could play with Yinzuo, which would disappoint the youngest son.
But Yinzuo remembered something again and asked Depin, "Sister, sister?"
Yesterday, several princesses just visited Yinzuo and his friends and didn't say much, but Yinzuo also remembered that he had a sister.
The little guy's eyes were shining, and Concubine De couldn't bear to let her youngest son be disappointed again.
It has not yet been figured out who was involved in the youngest son's illness and danger. In fact, Depin is still feeling uneasy and is not very willing to bring her son into someone else's palace.
But after thinking about it, he finally said to his youngest son in his expectant eyes: "Then wait until you finish lunch and go play with your fourth sister."
The eldest princess in the palace is nine years old, and the second and third princesses are six or seven years old. They cannot play with a child as young as the youngest son. The fourth princess, on the other hand, can still play with the youngest son.
When Yinzuo heard that Depin agreed to come and see her sister, he finally felt happy.
It is very worry-free to eat Yinzuo. The child has a good appetite and will eat whatever you feed him.
But she ate in a hurry today. After finishing her meal, she urged Depin to go see her sister. Before leaving, she did not forget to say, "Sugar." Her little hand pointed to the place where they secretly put the sugar.
"Here, sister."
Depin didn't know whether to feel sad about when this little rascal saw when they put the candy there, or to be jealous of the little guy who kept calling her sister all the time.
In the end, as Yinzuo wished, he took the candy with him.
Depin and Yinzuo went to Yipin's palace. Yipin and Depin were beauties with very different temperaments. They were very bright and beautiful. They were surprised to see Depin and Yinzuo coming over: "You are willing to bring the sixth prince out? But the prince is still young, so he should be taken care of more carefully."
Depin said, "The weather has warmed up, so I brought him out. Now that he's older, he always wants to go outside."
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Okay, you're welcome here anyway. The Sixth Prince is quite likable." The little guy was not afraid of people at all and had watery eyes.
However, Yipin was wondering how Depin could come to visit her?
Depin smiled and said to Yipin, "Where is the Fourth Princess? She met the Fourth Princess and her family yesterday, and when she woke up in the morning, she asked to play with her brothers and sisters."
Yinzuo became shy after hearing what Depin said, but he still said bravely: "Sister."
Concubine Yi laughed and said to the maid next to her, "Go see the Fourth Princess and tell her that the Sixth Prince wants to play with her."
The fourth princess was not born to Concubine Yi. Her biological mother was Concubine Yi's sister. She entered Kangxi's harem as a widow. Because of her identity, people in the harem were not very willing to interact with her.
The fourth princess is now raised under the name of Concubine Yi, who is the fourth princess's aunt. The fourth princess is being taken care of quite well.
The little girl came to see Yinzuo and called him "Sixth Brother" as her nanny taught her. Although she had just seen him yesterday, the little girl obviously didn't remember. However, she was shy in front of Yinzuo but couldn't hide her happiness. She knew that Yinzuo came to play with her. She had never had a playmate come to play with her before.
There were many people yesterday, and Yinzuo actually didn't remember this young lady. The two little guys looked at each other for a while, and Yinzuo remembered and said, "Sugar."
Xiao Cui smiled and gave the candy to Yin Zuo. Yin Zuo handed the honey brown candy to the fourth princess with pigtails: "Sister, here!"
This honey-brown candy slice is not the maltose that Kangxi gave as tribute from Jiangnan last time, but a sour and sweet candy made from fruit juice. It is in the form of thin, transparent slices, which is easy for children without teeth to eat. Yinzuo likes it very much.
Depin was also happy to give him this to eat. Because it was thin, it would create a visual illusion. One piece looked very big, but in fact it was not much. It was just right to use it to coax children.
The fourth princess looked at the honey-brown candy. When she reached out her hand, she remembered what it was and looked at Yipin for advice. Yipin smiled and nodded, saying to her, "Thank you, Sixth Brother."
The fourth princess thanked him politely and then happily took the candy.
Yinzuo's trick was very successful. His little sister now easily fell in love with her younger brother who came to play with her and gave her candy.
The two adults, Concubine Yi and Concubine De, watched with great interest as two little kids, who were less than three years old in total, successfully established diplomatic relations. Concubine Yi said that the Sixth Prince was so cute, and Concubine De praised the Fourth Princess raised by Concubine Yi for being well-mannered and quiet at such a young age, which made people like her.
When Yinzuo saw that the little sister had eaten his candy, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed. He couldn't help but jump while being supported by the wet nurse. As a child, his joy was obvious and straightforward, and his happiness to see his sister was fully expressed in his facial expression and body language.
It just jumped but did not jump. It just stamped its little shoes on the ground with joy and its little body twisted and turned in the arms of its wet nurse.
The fourth princess stood very close to Yinzuo. She said, "Sixth brother is so small."
The fourth princess reached out to touch Yinzuo's fingers, which were smaller than hers.
Yinzuo also looked at his own hands, which were very small. Seeing that his sister was curious about his fingers, Yinzuo generously let her look and touch them.
A good brother should spoil his sister.
But the younger brother is too young now, and cannot control himself yet. Gradually, his eyes turned to the candy in his sister's mouth, and then he stared at it until saliva flowed out of his mouth unconsciously.
The good brother left one hand for his sister to play with curiously, and wiped his saliva with the other hand, and consciously said: "Sister, eat it."
"Yin, Yin doesn't want to eat."
The pitiful look of the little kid, who was greedy and struggling to control himself, made Concubine Yi beside him laugh out loud, but the Fourth Princess did not give in to him.
But the fourth princess was also good. Seeing her brother staring at her with eager eyes and drooling, the little girl took the candy out of her mouth and said proudly, "Together."
The two little kids got along very well. They were not the ones who guarded their food. They were about to share a piece of candy, but even Depin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay, stop being pitiful. Princess Four, eat it. This piece is yours, and this piece is for Yinzuo."
The candy brought to the Fourth Princess was packed in a food box, so there couldn't be only one piece in it. It was just that Depin was always in charge of Yinzuo and didn't let him eat too much.
However, although Yinzuo loved sweets and had a greedy mouth, he would not cry like other children. She would only give him two slices a day, and he would behave himself even if he was not full.
At this moment, the two siblings each got a piece of candy. The two little people were close to each other, and the surrounding was filled with a sweet smell. The two siblings kept talking in their childish way.
"Brother, you suck slowly like this, look at this." The little girl had good teeth and she bit the thin and crispy candy with a crunchy sound.
Yinzuo: “Wow~” I really don’t know what the little kid is exclaiming in amazement.
"Brother, open your mouth and let me see."
Depin and Yipin listened to the two children playing nearby and chatted with each other, talking about health preservation in spring, fabrics, jewelry, and makeup. Unlike the two adults who talked without sharing their hearts, the two little kids were very close to each other.
The fourth princess also asked people to take out all the small toys she played with every day and show them to Yinzuo, including porcelain dolls, small cloth flowers, small wooden figures... [Read the novel and add QQ group 630809116]
When Depin turned around to look, Yinzuo was already hugging his sister. His short arms couldn't hold his sister tightly and he almost knocked her down. The wet nurse was sweating profusely and wanted to hold him back. The fourth princess no longer had the energy to be quiet and shy and said shamelessly, "No need for you, I'll hold my brother."
Depin wanted to hold her forehead. Her son used to throw himself on the emperor whenever he saw him, and she felt jealous that her son was so close to the emperor. But today, when he saw the fourth princess, the boy hugged her as soon as he saw her. Xiao Cui also said that the boy did almost the same thing when he met the eldest prince and the crown prince yesterday.
What's wrong with this? Where does this warm and friendly attitude of hugging people come from? Neither she nor the emperor has this personality. Many children are afraid of strangers, but this one she gave birth to is really not afraid of strangers.
Yinzuo had no idea of his mother's complicated feelings. He had grown younger, without the constraints of adult etiquette. The intimacy and affection in his heart naturally showed in his body language. It was just a hug, a natural expression of love. It was just that the ancients were reserved and old-fashioned, and were surprised by things that were not seen before.
Depin was thinking too much at this time. As a mother, she felt jealous only when her son was close to the emperor. But seeing her son being so "flirtatious", she could not feel jealous anymore. She just thought that this boy was so defenseless and didn't treat anyone as a stranger. If there was a kidnapper, he could be kidnapped away with just a snap of his fingers. She was glad that they lived within the high walls of the palace and didn't have to worry about him being kidnapped.
If Yin Zuo knew what Depin was thinking, he would definitely cry out in injustice. How could he be "playboy"? He only liked his mother, his father, his eldest brother, the crown prince, his third brother... and many other brothers and sisters. He was not like this with outsiders! He was also a reserved boy with outsiders.
