"Well then, Xuan Ye, where should we go first?" Mingxiu looked at Kangxi, who was dressed in ordinary dark blue clothes. With a swish, Kangxi opened his fan. The weather in April was still quite cool. Kangxi fanned himself for a moment and then silently closed the fan. "Of course, we'll go wherever we happen to be. This time, we have some free time, so we can stay in one place for a while." Mingxiu nodded. Of course, that would be great. She loved traveling like this.

The carriage slowly moved forward. After Yinreng's enthronement ceremony ended, he tried to find Kangxi but couldn't. He was told that Kangxi had already left the palace with Mingxiu.

"The Emperor Emeritus asked me to convey a message to His Majesty: from today onwards, this Qing Dynasty belongs to you. Be a good emperor, and your mother and I will naturally return when we have had enough of our travels outside," the young eunuch said respectfully.

Yinreng stood there with a look of bewilderment, while Guarjia, who had brought Hongxi with her, looked at Yinreng's expression and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were looking for Father Emperor?"

Yinreng looked down at Hongxi, then picked up the child and said, "Hongxi, your imperial grandfather doesn't want us anymore. They've gone out to play by themselves. What are we going to do?"

Before Hongxi could react, Guarjia, who was standing next to him, was startled.

"Don't be sad, Grandpa. Grandpa didn't abandon us. Grandpa told his grandson that they're just going out to play for a while and will come back soon." And when they come back, they'll bring Hongxi lots and lots of food and toys that he's never seen before.

Yinreng squinted at Hongxi: "What, did your imperial grandfather tell you that they want to go out and play?"

Those listening to Yinreng's question twitched, wondering if the child would get a beating.

Hongxi, oblivious to the changed atmosphere around him, said innocently, "That's right, Grandpa told his grandson that if Father beats Hongxi, Grandpa can deal with Father when he comes back."

Yinreng was truly enraged this time. He put Hongxi on the ground, snorted coldly, and left.

It's infuriating! They really do forget about their son now that they have a grandson. They didn't even bother to tell their son about such a big thing, they only told their grandson.

Hongxi, who had been placed on the ground, looked at his father's angry appearance and tilted his head to look at Guarjia: "Father, what's wrong? Your son didn't upset him."

Guarjia looked at Hongxi awkwardly, not knowing how to put it, but his father was just jealous of him.

When Yinreng returned, he was still furious. Looking at his brothers standing in front of him, he asked them with a hint of jealousy, "Did you know that Father Emperor has already gone out of the palace to play?"

Satisfied to see several surprised faces, Yinreng felt strangely happy. "Very good, no one knows."

"It's true, Father Emperor took Consort Ming out of the palace for a trip, but we don't know where they went or when they'll be back," Yinreng kindly explained to them.

For a moment, everyone was speechless. The Emperor left too quickly; they hadn't even had a chance to say anything.

After seeing off his brothers, Yinreng sat on the dragon throne and looked down, thinking to himself with a petty mind, "I wonder if Chenghuan knows about this, hehehe!"

Yinreng specifically sent someone to ask Chenghuan if she knew about this matter.

Inside the Princess's Mansion

Cheng Huan was still immersed in the news of her mother and father going out of the palace when she received a message from her elder brother, the Crown Prince.

Cheng Huan paused for a moment, realizing that her mother hadn't told her second brother, the Crown Prince.

It's no wonder Cheng Huan felt that way; Yinreng's actions were indeed very problematic.

Cheng Huan was no longer sad. She gave the messenger a few instructions and sent him back.

Watching the person's departing figure, Chenghuan was happy. Sure enough, her mother was right; happiness built on the suffering of others brings even greater happiness.

Hahaha!

Zhang Tinglu shook his head as he watched Cheng Huan's expression. These siblings from the imperial family were truly something else!

"My mother and father specifically told me that once they've settled down, I can come over for a visit. Brother, would you like to come with me then?" The eunuch delivering the message said with a look of utter despair.

Yinreng sat there listening.

anger!

snort!

Yinreng was furious and waved for the man to leave.

The eunuch beside the emperor shook his head helplessly as he looked at him.

Yinreng turned to look at Guarjia with a wronged expression. "Father and Consort Ming even said they wanted Chenghuan to go over and play, but they won't let him go." Guarjia was speechless, yet also felt a little amused. Of course, he knew that the Emperor was just joking. Once the Emperor was on the throne, how could he easily leave the palace?

However, she still reassured him, "I suppose Father and Consort Ming haven't set a date yet, for fear of disappointing His Majesty. They will definitely inform His Majesty when a date is set."

Yinreng nodded, but what he was really thinking was anyone's guess.

Then, turning to the Princess's residence, Cheng Huan received a message from Yinreng: "I am a little nervous about ascending the throne, so I want to connect with my brothers and sisters. However, I am quite busy, so I haven't set a time yet. I hope you brothers and sisters will stay in the capital during this period. I will inform you when I have set a time."

Cheng Huan:......

Zhang Tinglu, standing nearby: ......

No one expected the emperor to be so naive.

Cheng Huan, her face expressionless, said, "Alright, I understand. Go back and tell your brother that I will certainly obey the imperial decree."

Cheng Huan said, word by word!

After everyone left, she turned around and began to complain: "Look, look! I told you my brother was really stingy. I just said one thing, and now he won't let me go out. What 'fear' and 'building relationships'? Humph! He's clearly afraid that I'll go to Father and Mother by myself and he won't be able to go."

Zhang Tinglu, enduring the pain, said, "Alright, don't be angry anymore. Who told you to make him angry first? There are two of you."

Cheng Huan complained angrily for a couple of minutes, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You know, he's already so petty after just a few words. If I actually go, he'll be furious, hahaha." Cheng Huan laughed uncontrollably. There was nothing she could do; the Emperor couldn't leave the palace at will.

Zhang Tinglu: "Don't get cocky, or he might really not let you out."

Cheng Huan rolled her eyes at him: "Hmph, don't worry about that. My brother is just saying that. He won't really stop me from going out."

I'm confident I can still please you.

But she really didn't know the whereabouts of her father and mother, and she couldn't find them even if she wanted to go out!

Thinking of this, Cheng Huan felt somewhat disheartened.

She really wants to go out and have fun too!

"Alright, don't be sad. When we have some free time in a while, I'll take us out for a stroll," Zhang Tinglu comforted Cheng Huan, looking at her.

"Mmm," Cheng Huan perked up immediately, smiling as she snuggled into Zhang Tinglu's arms.

The couple embraced tenderly.
