[Blurb]

Having transmigrated as Kangxi's youngest son, Yongzheng's youngest brother, and Qianlong's youngest uncle, Yin Mi was cherished by three generations of emperors. His father doted on him in his youth, his older brother in middle age, and his nephew in his later years.

And so, as he was doted on and doted on, the good little baby grew up into a mischievous little rascal.

--

Kangxi: Why does the whole palace stink?

“Your Majesty, the Twenty-Fourth Prince caught all the fish in the pond. He said he was going to dry them into salted fish. Now they're hanging everywhere, on the roof, along the roads, and inside the palace walls...”

And so Kangxi was overcome by the stench.

Kangxi thumped his chest. “Are you trying to stink your own father to death?!!”

--

Kangxi: Why are these pigs running all over the estate?

“Your Majesty, the Twenty-Fourth Prince took a few young lords to the estate to ride the pigs. But they couldn't beat the pigs, so they all got loose...”

And so Kangxi was knocked over by a pig.

Kangxi's eyes rolled back. “Are you trying to knock your own father to death?!!”

--

Kangxi: This dish is good. What is it called?

“Your Majesty, this dish is called Love Only for Crickets. The Twenty-Fourth Prince personally dug up the crickets and stir-fried them. He hopes you enjoy your meal...”

And so Kangxi gagged over his food.

Kangxi vomited and had diarrhea. “You little rebel! Are you trying to poison your own father to death?!!”

Kangxi: It's over. Am I not going to live long enough to enjoy this? I'm sure I'll be angered to death!!! But what can you do when you have a son in your old age? You just have to spoil him!

Yin Mi: Hehe, I love Father the most!

“Master, the Twenty-Fourth Prince picked all the flowers in the courtyard that you were going to give Madam and fed them to the pigs!”

And so Fourth Master got the cold shoulder.

Fourth Master gritted his teeth. “Twenty-Fourth! Just wait until I catch you!”

--

“Master, the Twenty-Fourth Prince threw the memorial you were going to submit to the Emperor into the pond!”

And so Fourth Master was beaten.

Fourth Master clutched his sore behind and roared, “Twenty-Fourth! One day, I'll make your backside bloom!”

Yin Mi: Boohoo, mean big brother!

“Your Highness, the Twenty-Fourth Prince hid salted fish all over your room!”

And so poor Hongli spent the night smelling stinky salted fish.

Hongli's eyes welled with tears. “I didn't do anything to anyone! Little Uncle, I'm definitely going to pull your pigtail!!”

Yin Mi: Awoo, how disrespectful!

Yin Mi caused trouble every day, never realizing that his father, big brother, and nephew all loved it. They spoiled him rotten, either cuddling him or tugging on his pigtail!

Yin Mi: Hmph, you say one thing but mean another!

---Coming Soon: Is Kangxi Raising the Chinchilla Baby Wrong Today?---

The chinchilla baby Yin Zan saw in a mirror that Noble Lady Nala had died in childbirth, leaving the hungry Twelfth Prince, Yin Zan, behind. Kangxi worked diligently to raise the child as both father and mother, only for the child to die at the age of two.

How pitiful.

The chinchilla baby decided to transmigrate back and help him.

But someone hit him over the head during the journey. When he arrived, he was a baby with no memories, and all he knew was that he was a chinchilla baby.

In this second life, Kangxi resolved to be a good nanny (not really) and raise the Twelfth Prince properly!

But why did it feel like the more he raised him, the more wrong he turned out?

A little scene:

Chinchilla baby: Daddy, Daddy, your son wants to eat some fresh, juicy alfalfa...

Kangxi was bewildered: “...” Why would a perfectly good human want to eat grass? Are you a calf or a little rabbit?

Chinchilla baby: Daddy, Daddy, your son wants to climb a really, really tall tree!

Kangxi was thoroughly confused: “...” Could I be doing this wrong? Let's check the child-rearing handbook. Good grief, only monkeys are raised like that!

Chinchilla baby: Daddy, Daddy, you can't use water for bath time. You have to use sand!

Kangxi was astonished: “...” What's sand? You don't use water to bathe, you use sand?!

The chinchilla baby wailed: Daddy's a big dummy! You don't know how to raise a baby! You won't give me anything I want! You promised you'd take good care of me!

Kangxi was embarrassed: Well, uh, I raised him wrong. Is that my fault?

Little Scene One

One day, a chinchilla suddenly appeared in the court. It zipped onto the Dragon Throne with a “squeak” and sat there looking full of life. Everyone was so shocked they nearly screamed aloud in the hall, etiquette be damned!

A minister: Your Majesty, why are you raising such a huge rat?

Yin Zan looked up at his father with a pitiful expression.

Kangxi: That's my son! He's a chinchilla, not a rat! The weather's turning cold. Your whole family is about to lose their jobs...

The minister dropped to his knees and kowtowed. “Your Majesty, my mouth is too loose. I'm the one with the rat-like face!”

Little Scene Two

The chinchilla baby was captured and forced to work as a shop's doorman, attracting customers. Every day, he wore a little sign around his neck.

Baby Yin Zan: “Dear customers, come buy something tasty~”

The shop owner was so stingy that after the baby worked hard all day, his daily pay was a single carrot~

The Mischievous Sixth Prince

A naughty Sunny Doll was tossed out the window with a “squeak” and transmigrated as Kangxi's sixth son, the mischievous little rascal Yin Zuo.

He was naughty, but a real delight.

When his father was angry, he kissed him.

When his mother sighed, he patted her.

When his older brother cried, he hugged him.

No matter whether you cried, felt annoyed, or were upset, once the Sunny Doll Yin Zuo appeared, there wasn't an emotion he couldn't handle.

From then on, the palace was filled with laughter, from the youngest to the oldest, from top to bottom.

[Little Scene One:]

Yin Zuo: Big Brother, can you stop studying and take us out to play?

Big Brother: “No!”

Yin Zuo: “Oh? If you won't agree, then I'll just have to...”

?

“...tie you up!”

Big Brother: “Hahahahahaha...” This little squirt thinks he can tie me up? He can't even keep his diaper on straight! Hahaha!

But it turned out to be a proper knot, and Yin Zuo tickled the soles of his feet with foxtail grass until he was hiccupping with laughter.

Big Brother teared up. “You little brat, stop it!!”

[Little Scene Two:]

Yin Zuo: Father, can you let your son go outside the palace to play?

Kangxi: “No!”

Yin Zuo: “Hmm? If you won't agree, then I'll just have to...”

?

“...perform the eight-legged crab crossing the river for you!”

Kangxi: “Hahahahahaha...” You little brat! With that fierce expression, I thought you were going to hit your own father! Hahaha...

But it turned out to be tickling. He nearly laughed himself breathless!

Kangxi's eyes filled with tears. “You little brat, stop!!”

[Little Scene Three:]

Yin Zuo: Mother, can you make your son some seafood congee?

Mother: “No!”

Yin Zuo: “Hehe? If you won't agree, then I'll just have to...”

?

“...eat all your snacks and not give you any. I'll make you watch and crave them!”

Mother: “Hahahahahaha...” You're just a baby. You're so little you drool half your weight when you eat watermelon, and you think you can finish all the snacks in the palace? Hahaha...

But it turned out he ate them all, even gnawing on his mother's finger, leaving her stunned.

Mother widened her eyes. “You little rascal, stop eating!!”
