Dragon cubs are the group pet of the Qing Palace

"Cheng An, do you want to go to Elder Brother's place to play?" Yin Qi ran to Cheng An immediately after school and asked.

After he finished speaking, Yinxi, Yinhu and the others also came over one after another.

The few people who actively invited the little guy to Elder Brother's office were of course because they liked this younger brother very much, but part of the reason was because of Kangxi's confession.

No need to continue practicing riding and shooting, the little guy's mood became better, and he agreed to the invitation of his brothers.

So, under the reflection of the setting sun, the five elder brothers went to the direction of elder brother's place together.

Yinqi saw that he was the younger brother he invited first, but now it was Yinxi and Yinhu who were leading him from left to right, so he couldn't help but leaned forward and said, "It's time for me to hold him."

Yinxi was already ten years old, and seeing him, she wished she could reach out her hand directly, and in the end, give him the seat next to the little guy.

Yinqi successfully held his younger brother's soft little hand, with a smile on his face.

The little guy was also in a good mood after school, shaking the hands of his two older brothers gently.

After finally arriving at Brother's office, he finds everything interesting.

"Chengan, do you have anything you like, I'll give it to you." Yin Qi took him to his place and said very generously.

The little guy touched here and there to see, but there was nothing he wanted.

"Let's go, Chengan, I'll take you to a place." After Yinyi spoke, Yinxi, who originally wanted to take his younger brother to his place, had to give up.

"Is this where you live, Brother Twenty?"

The little guy followed Yinyi to another residence, saw a swing in the courtyard, and a small rockery pool where fish can be raised, and gave a soft "wow".

Yin Yi shook his head slightly and asked, "Does Cheng An like this place?"

"like."

After the little guy finished speaking, Yin Yi immediately said: "Then how about I live here for you?"

Yinqi and the others definitely hoped that he would move here as a companion, and they all looked at him expectantly.

However, the little guy didn't agree: "No, I want to live with Ama."

"Didn't you say you like it here?" Yin Yi said while touching his head.

"But I like Ama more, and the Qianqing Palace!"

After the little guy finished speaking, he looked up and found that the sky had darkened slightly. Before Yinyi could continue to persuade him, he said, "I'm going back, Ama must still be waiting for me."

Yinyi originally wanted to take him to have a look inside, but when he finished speaking, he started to run out, so he could only follow him to see him off.

Qianqing Palace.

When Kangxi saw him coming back, he asked knowingly, "Why did you come back at this hour?"

"My brother and I went to my brother's place to play for a while." When the little guy spoke, he was already lying on his lap, looking very clingy.

"How do you like it there?"

The little guy raised his face and told him: "Brother, there is a swing and fish~"

Kangxi saw that he liked the place he had prepared for him, so he said, "Then do you want to live there for a few days?"

"do not want!"

Obviously Kangxi had tried his best to speak euphemistically, but unexpectedly the little guy's reaction was quite strong, he refused to say anything, and held his hand to change the subject: "Ama, let's go have dinner."

"Your elder brothers all live there. You used to live there and go to the Shang's study every day with company. Isn't that good?" Kangxi saw that he straightened up and wanted to drag him to eat, and pulled him back with his backhand.

"My brothers already have companions, I want to accompany Ama, don't live in the past."

In fact, if it wasn't for fear that he would be unhappy, the little guy would have even said that he didn't want to study.

Kangxi found that he couldn't talk to him, so he said angrily: "I don't need you to accompany me."

"I want to accompany, I want to accompany..." The little guy was a little unhappy when he heard his words, and opened his arms to hug him and rubbed in his arms.

Kangxi looked down at him, feeling very helpless, and finally had to take him to eat first.

After supper, the little one immediately ran to play with his toys.

Kangxi didn't feel anything at first, but after a while he suddenly realized that he had already started reading, but it was not like before, so he called people to him.

After the little guy consolidated what he learned today under his leadership, he remembered that the Chinese master had told him to write a page and hand it in tomorrow.

"Why do you still have to read and write at night..." Cheng An couldn't help muttering in a low voice while writing.

Kangxi thought he didn't hear this because he still knew to consciously complete the homework assigned by the master.

After the little guy finished writing, he washed up, and it was time to rest. He felt that he hadn't played today, and he couldn't help rolling on the bed several times.

The weather is still a bit cold now, Kangxi saw him rolling on the quilt, and directly picked him up and stuffed him into the quilt: "Hurry up and sleep, don't wake up again tomorrow."

"But I'm not sleepy yet!" The little guy found that he didn't even let himself roll, so he couldn't help puffing up his cheeks slightly.

"If you have the ability, you can say the same tomorrow morning." Kangxi thought of how difficult it was for him to wake up in the past two mornings, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his face, "Hurry up and sleep, you'd better wake up by yourself tomorrow morning."

"Who told you, Amma, to wake me up before the sun came out." The little guy hummed.

"You should read books as early as possible. Wouldn't it be a waste to spend all the good time sleeping?"

After Kangxi finished speaking, he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he directly signaled the people waiting beside him to lower the bed curtain and turn off the lights.

After the bed was plunged into darkness, the little guy had to sleep even if he didn't want to.

Waking up early in the morning will make him fall asleep. He can actually fall asleep, but he probably still thinks that he didn't play anything today, so he doesn't want to sleep.

Kangxi closed his eyes and patted him lightly. After waiting for a while, he still felt movement around him. The movement of patting him was slightly aggravated, with a hint of reminder.

The little guy who had nothing to play with and could even play with his hands put down his hands, and then played with his face again, puffing up his cheeks and then flattening them.

A certain little guy who shouted not to be sleepy at night, as expected, couldn't get up in the morning.

When Kangxi thought of calling him to sleep last night and he refused to sleep, he wanted to spank his ass.

"Look at which elder brother is like you..."

In the end, although he was reluctant to do it, he couldn't help but start talking to the little guy who crawled from the head to the end of the bed.

The bed was too warm, and Cheng An didn't want to wake up at all, especially when he recalled the scene of going to the Shang's study yesterday morning, he was already dizzy now, so even though he heard Ama calling him, he was still unmoved, and instead pressed hard against the quilt Drill in.

Kangxi saw that he had shrunk into the corner at the end of the bed wrapped in a quilt, and said, "If you don't get up again, don't eat the gourd chicken at noon."

"Is there Gugu chicken for lunch?" The little guy subconsciously stuck his head out of the quilt when he heard the food.

Seeing that he reacted to eating, Kangxi glanced at him and nodded: "Get up quickly, you can eat gourd chicken when you come back at noon."

The little guy wanted to eat Cuckoo Chicken, but he was really tired from reading, so he hesitated for a while.

"Your companion will also enter the palace today, don't dawdle any longer." After finishing speaking, Kangxi reached out and grabbed him from the corner, and asked someone to change his clothes quickly.

"What accompanying reading?" the little guy asked after yawning.

"It's the person who reads with you."

It took a lot of time to wake him up just now, so Kangxi ignored him after finishing speaking.

Everyone in the Qianqing Palace moved accordingly, and when the father and son finished packing, they would immediately serve breakfast.

Kangxi urged him to finish his breakfast and take him out immediately, and told him a few more words on the way to Shang's study.

The little guy has heard similar words many times in the past two days, and will nod while leaning against him, yawning.

"Ama, you see the sun hasn't come out outside, why do we have to get up so early?"

"Because I'm going to the morning court, and you have to study." After finishing speaking, Kangxi saw that he had already arrived outside the Shang's study room, and motioned him to go down quickly.

The little guy hugged him and said, "Ama, I want to be with you."

How old you are and still so clingy, really...

Kangxi looked at him and shook his head, then hugged him directly.

Seeing that he put himself on the ground, the little guy immediately left on the imperial chariot, showing a small expression of displeasure.

"Zhang Ruoai met Brother 24."

The little guy suddenly heard someone talking next to him, turned around and saw a strange boy, he couldn't help but look at him curiously: "Are you talking to me?"

"Little elder brother, this should be the accompanying reading arranged by the emperor for you." Liu Cai stepped forward and said to him.

After the little guy nodded to show that he knew, he looked at the companion in front of him and asked, "Your name is Zhang Ruo'ai? You are not short, so why are you called Zhang Ruo'ai?"

"It's not short, it's mist. The evening mist is heavy and the sky is broad." Zhang Ruoai is quite calm at a young age, even if he misunderstood the name, she just explained it in a leisurely manner.

The little guy hasn't read the poem he said, but he still nodded and said, "I remember it."

Zhang Ruoai is not very old, and when she enters a place with many rules like the palace, she is still somewhat nervous, but at this moment, she finds that the little elder brother in front of her looks quite good-tempered and looks good, so she can't help but relax a little. .

Hearing the sound of reading from Shang's study room, he thought of his responsibility as a companion, and reminded him: "Brother 24, it's time to go in and study."

The little guy sighed inexplicably, and followed him in.

Yinyi found him coming in, and still came to teach him what he was going to read today, but because he saw that he had a companion to read, he only taught him once and then returned to his seat.

Zhang Ruoai had already finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and when Yin Yi left, he would start reading with the little guy.

It was still dark outside, but the sound of books was already ringing in Shang's study room. This kind of atmosphere could easily infect people.

But even so, after the little guy read the same article ten times, he didn't want to open his mouth at all.

There will be no master here, and neither will the elder brother. The little guy rested with his hands on his face after reading a few more sentences.

Zhang Ruoai was very serious about reading, but after a while she realized that he was silent, so she couldn't help but leaned closer and whispered a reminder: "Brother 24, why don't you read anymore?"

"I've memorized it all, why do I still have to read it?" Cheng An's voice was softer than his, obviously he didn't want to attract the attention of his brothers.

"But didn't you say you have to read it 120 times?"

Zhang Ruoai had been taught the rules of studying in the palace by her father long before she came here, and at that time she had lamented that as expected of the palace, reading is so strict.

"But I don't want to read anymore, I'm so tired..." The little guy looked at him with his mouth pursed.

Zhang Ruoai didn't have a younger brother yet, and she felt a little embarrassed when he was stared at by the white and tender little guy with big black eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a solution: "Then I'll read it aloud, and you can read it silently in your heart while listening?"

The little guy's eyes lit up slightly when he heard his words, and he nodded repeatedly.

So next, the two read one by one and listened to the other, because the little guy had already memorized what he read, so when he heard Zhang Ruoai read, even if he didn't deliberately read silently, the content he read also appeared in his mind.

Cheng An continued to support his small face with his hands, and suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a companion to read.

When it was time for breakfast, the little guy dragged Zhang Ruoai over to have dinner together.

Zhang Ruoai bowed to the other elder brothers, seeing that they didn't mind, she dared to sit down with her.

"This is my 21th brother, 22st brother, 23nd brother and [-]rd brother." The little guy even introduced himself without a teacher. Short, it is the mist that is deep in the evening and wide in the sky~"

"Understood, eat quickly." Yin Yi responded with a smile, thinking that other than him, most people would not think about the shortness of the dwarf.

Zhang Ruoai felt that the little guy had a good memory when he heard what the little guy said, and at the same time he felt more relaxed unconsciously.

The little guy had already eaten in Qianqing Palace before, so he didn't eat much this time, but read and chatted with his brother and his new companion while eating.

With the arrival of the master, the little guy visibly wilted again, and it was not until the halfway break that he became lively again, and ran to the side to find his brother to play.

The rest time was not long, and soon the master of Chinese language came over. The first thing he did was to ask someone to collect the words he had arranged yesterday.

Fortunately, the little guy remembered that he finished writing last night, otherwise he would be fine, and I'm afraid that the companion reader who just took office today will be punished for him.

At noon, the little guy still had to go back to Shang's study for dinner. Compared with his listless appearance during class, he didn't have to be too energetic after the master left. He stood up and rushed out.

Yinyi looked at the back of the little guy and shook his head, and ordered someone to prepare lunch for Zhang Ruoai.

In fact, no one would dare to forget Zhang Ruoai's lunch without his order, but Yinyi had to take care of the little guy for the sake of the little guy.

Qianqing Palace.

"Ama, is Gu Gu Chicken ready?"

Before the little guy entered the house, his voice had already reached Kangxi's ears.

"You know how to eat." Kangxi said angrily.

"Who said that, I still know about Ama." After the little guy finished speaking, he rushed to him and hugged him, "Ama, I miss you so much~"

"But I haven't seen you for half a day, what can you think about." After Kangxi finished speaking, he became concerned about his study in the morning.

The little guy felt a little guilty when he thought that he had listened to Brother [-]'s book instead of reading it this morning, so he looked around and said, "Ama, the companion you found for me is Zhang Ruoai, and the mist is Dusk Misty." Chu Tiankuo mist."

The person Kangxi personally selected would not even know his name, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard that he also knew "the dusk is deep and the sky is wide".

"Then do you know where this poem comes from?"

"I don't know." The little guy shook his head.

Kangxi told him, and casually chatted with him about the poem before taking him to lunch.

The freshly made gourd chicken is golden in color and full of fragrance.

The little guy ate the chicken with crispy skin and tender meat, and the psychological fatigue caused by reading all morning was appeased.

"Eat slowly." Kangxi reminded him when he saw that his cheeks were puffed up from eating.

The little guy nodded, and after swallowing the meat from the corner of his mouth, he picked up another chicken leg and put it in his bowl: "Ama, you can eat too."

In the afternoon, it is called Shedian.

When Cheng An was standing in front of the target and shooting arrows, Zhang Ruoai stood by and watched, occasionally handing him arrows.

"Why don't you shoot arrows?" After the little guy finished speaking, he continued without waiting for his answer, "Isn't it possible? I'll teach you!"

Apparently, the little guy is a little bored from practicing archery and wants to find something to do.

Zhang Ruoai is not so good at archery, but compared to reading, he is not that good at riding and archery.

However, when he heard the little guy's words, his first reaction was to refuse. After all, he came to be a companion, so there was no reason for him to teach in turn.

The little guy didn't care, he insisted on giving him the bow and arrow in his hand, and imitated the tone that his brothers taught him before teaching him.

Zhang Ruoai couldn't refuse, so she could only passively shoot at the target under his guidance.

"It's okay, I'll definitely hit it next time." Seeing that his arrow missed, the little guy comforted him thoughtfully.

Master Wu went to Yinqi's side to give advice just now, and when he found out the situation here, he was quite dumbfounded.

There is no shortage of archery targets, bows and arrows here in the Archery Hall. Seeing that the little elder brother insisted that he wanted to teach his companions how to read archery, Master Wu could only let them shoot together, and he himself taught by himself.

With Master Wu standing by and watching, the little guy had no choice but to continue practicing.

After he shot a few more arrows, he turned his head and asked, "Ai Ai, do you want some snacks?"

When he heard his first call, Zhang Ruo'ai blushed a little, obviously embarrassed to be called that, so he politely refused, but he didn't listen at all, so he could only accept it passively.

"Little brother, are you hungry?"

The little guy is not used to him calling himself 24 elder brother all the time, and originally asked him to call him by his own name, but Zhang Ruoai felt that it was unreasonable, so he changed to call him "little elder brother" like Liu Cai and the others.

Cheng An was not very hungry, he just wanted to take a rest and eat some pastries by the way.

After he took the lead, soon everyone put down their bows and arrows and rested while eating snacks.

The companion does not live in the palace, when the sun goes down, Zhang Ruoai bids farewell to the little guy and prepares to leave the palace.

Zhang House.

Mrs. Zhang waited anxiously in the lobby, and when she saw her son coming back, she immediately stepped forward to care.

"Everything is fine, son."

Knowing the son is more like the mother, Mrs. Zhang knew that his son had not suffered any grievances when she saw his expression and tone when he spoke, and immediately felt relieved.

After dinner, Zhang Tingyu called his son into the study and asked him how he was doing in the palace today.

After Zhang Ruoai answered truthfully, Zhang Tingyu was somewhat surprised to find that his evaluation of the little brother was quite good.

Because of his age, that little elder brother doesn't have many opportunities to show his face outside, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty knows how much he is favored, not to mention that the emperor still keeps him in his palace, even the other elder brothers They are all very concerned about him.

In fact, if someone hadn't seen that little elder brother turn into a dragon with his own eyes, and knew of his extraordinary origin, there would have been a censor who would have asked him for a copy.

After all, whether he still lives in Qianqing Palace or he doesn't shave his head, it's a bit impolite.

Let’s not mention these, all in all, in Zhang Tingyu’s heart, he subconsciously felt that this young elder brother who was favored by the whole palace should be more arrogant, so he was somewhat worried that his son would be wronged if he was his companion. To a completely different image than he thought.

"Father?" Zhang Ruoai couldn't help calling when he saw that he suddenly stopped talking.

Zhang Tingyu came back to his senses, and after a few simple explanations, he signaled him to go down and rest.

In the next few days, apart from getting up in the morning, the little guy was a bit of a grind, and Kangxi had to spend a lot of effort, but his performance in the Shang Study Room was not bad, and he didn't appear to be unable to sit still, or not to listen carefully to the class.

Of course, this also depends on having a good-tempered and patient companion who reminds him from time to time, and draws pictures to coax him when he is tired of reading.

Just when Kangxi felt that he had gradually adapted to the life of studying and began to think about how to let him move out, this morning——

"Chengan wake up."

Kangxi is used to calling him the first thing he does when he wakes up, reaching out to pat the little guy beside him before he fully opens his eyes.

"Woooooooo..."

Kangxi knew that it was difficult for him to get up, and he didn't expect to wake him up with a single sound, but he never expected that he would suddenly start crying when he lost his words.

He quickly got up and sat up, and saw the little guy crying with his eyes closed, his eyelids had already started to turn red, and tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes.

"What's the matter? Amma is here, tell Ama what's the matter." Kangxi shook him worriedly, wondering if he was having a nightmare.

"Whoa, I don't want to read books..."

If the little guy is really having nightmares, he must be reading in the dream.

Kangxi didn't expect this to be the reason, and after a moment of daze, he wiped his tears and said, "Didn't it be fine a few days ago, why don't you want to study?"

"Woooo...I just don't want to...don't read books..."

Kangxi had a headache from his crying, so he could only coax him: "Okay, don't cry, get up and go to study obediently, I will ask someone to make gourd chicken for you at noon."

However, the gourd chicken didn't work this time, and the little guy even cried and said not to eat the gourd chicken.

"I promise you to eat a whole gourd chicken?" Kangxi continued coaxing.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Seeing that he couldn't be coaxed anymore, Kangxi immediately became angry: "Look who is like you, who needs to be coaxed to study, if you don't obediently get up and go to study, be careful that I will be rude to you!"

"Long live Lord, calm down." Liang Jiugong heard that the emperor was really angry, and hurried forward to help coax him, "Little brother, get up, your favorite gold silk rolls are prepared for breakfast."

The little guy was already crying sadly, but when he saw that Ama was still attacking him, he suddenly cried from a low voice to a loud cry.

"Wow..."

Part of the reason why he cried like this was that he was too tired to study these days, but he found that he still had to study today, so he didn't have time to rest.

Another part of the reason is that the little guy spends most of his time studying recently. He feels that he spends much less time with Ama, and almost no time with his second brother, Mamo, and Erniang. The more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable.
