That's really too much! We agreed to go out today, and he still doesn't know how to restrain himself. We're spoiling him too much.

After glaring at me, Tong Cheng'er immediately said, "From now until we return to Beijing, you are not allowed to touch me again."

This is too much of a hassle.

To outsiders, Yinzhen seemed to have little interest in desires, mainly because he couldn't muster any. However, Tong Cheng'er was an exception for him; one could say that Tong Cheng'er was his "desire."

It's so frustrating that they won't let me touch it.

Yinzhen looked at Tong Cheng'er and said, "Cheng'er was so beautiful last night that I couldn't control myself. Please forgive me this time."

Tong Cheng'er glanced at him but ignored him.

It means there's no way.

Yinzhen was indeed persistent, but Tong Cheng'er had become somewhat immune to him. In addition, the marks on her body were still there, which were blatant evidence. She cried last night, saying she didn't want it anymore, but it wasn't over yet.

If we give in too easily, this person might take advantage of the situation and become even more demanding.

Tong Cheng'er said angrily, "You can sleep by yourself until we get back to Beijing. You should learn how to control yourself."

As she spoke, Tong Cheng'er looked at his lower body: "If you can't control yourself, then there's no point in having it."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen felt a chill run down his spine and his face stiffened. He was doomed; it seemed he had truly angered his young consort.

Then the servants who were attending to him witnessed a day that left them speechless. They finally saw how their master coaxed his wife, and it was truly shameless.

Even though Su Peisheng knew that his master had done a lot for his wife behind the scenes, he still couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this scene.

Surprised, Su Peisheng realized that his master had absolutely no bottom line when it came to his wife. Fortunately, his master was destined not to be emperor, otherwise, with his master's appearance, the empire would probably belong to his wife.

Although Tong Cheng'er was angry, she still had to go to the Lotus Festival. It wasn't until she set off in the evening that she calmed down a bit.

She wasn't angry, mainly because Yinzhen was too shameless.

His shameless behavior amazed Tong Cheng'er, refreshing her understanding of him. It's true that the more you get to know someone, the less considerate they become.

Does he even realize that his behavior contradicts his aloof persona?!

In the carriage on the way to the market, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his young wife was finally willing to give him a kind look. He realized that he had indeed gone too far yesterday.

"My lord, my lady, we have arrived."

Yinzhen helped Tong Cheng'er down from the carriage.

The carriages naturally couldn't stop in the middle of the market. The Lotus Festival was a fairly well-known local festival, and in addition, people could release lotus lanterns to make wishes, which had a good meaning. Many young men and women from wealthy families would come to join in the fun.

Naturally, there were designated areas for parking horse-drawn carriages.

After helping Tong Cheng'er down from the carriage, Yinzhen did not let go of her hand.

Seeing that he wouldn't let go, Tong Cheng'er felt she was still angry, so she struggled a little. Yinzhen whispered in her ear, "There are many people, I'm afraid you'll get lost, so I'll hold your hand."

Perhaps it was because his voice was too gentle that Tong Cheng'er didn't refuse.

And so Yinzhen led Tong Cheng'er along the way.

The Jiangnan region is prosperous, and the lotus festival held this evening was very lively. The whole street was brightly lit, and the street vendors called out their wares one after another. Pedestrians came and went slowly, and there were smiles on their faces.

Tong Cheng'er thought this place was really beautiful.

She exclaimed, "Only in Jiangnan can one see such a sight."

Yinzhen: "If you like it, we can come again in the future."

Tong Cheng'er found it amusing: "This is Jiangnan, I remember you can't leave the capital without Father's decree!"

Yinzhen: "It is not possible to leave the capital casually, but people can always find a way. As long as you like it, I can naturally get Father Emperor to agree to let me come to Jiangnan."

"Man proposes, God disposes," Yinzhen believed that human will could overcome fate.

Upon hearing this, Tong Cheng'er, though unsure if he was being joking, felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

As they walked, the two came to another stall selling lanterns, and Tong Cheng'er stopped.

Yinzhen looked at the stall. Well, his lanterns were particularly eye-catching. After all, today was the Lotus Festival, and while other stalls were selling lotus lanterns, his stall was different; it sold all kinds of lanterns.

Yinzhen asked the stall owner, "How much are the lanterns?"

The stall owner said, "The lanterns are not for sale. It costs ten coins to guess a riddle. If you guess correctly, you can take the corresponding lantern."

Guess the lantern riddles?

Yinzhen was somewhat surprised, and Tong Cheng'er was also a little astonished upon hearing this, but she thought the lanterns were quite interesting.

Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng, who immediately gave the stall owner one hundred coins.

The stall owner, rarely seeing such generosity, smiled and said, "You can guess ten times in total."

Yinzhen turned to look at Tong Cheng'er: "Which one do you like?"

Tong Cheng'er looked at the little rabbit-shaped lantern; it was very cute.

"This one!"

Su Peisheng took out the riddle from under the rabbit lantern and handed it to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen took it and looked at it, saying: "Mandarin ducks play in pairs in the water, butterflies flutter in pairs among the flowers; I have a thousand kinds of tenderness, but with whom can I share them in this life; red beans are the seeds of longing, planted in my heart in a past life; I wait for the day when we are destined to meet, to enjoy spring, summer and autumn together."

"Guess the eight characters."

Tong Cheng'er was stunned when she heard this. She was completely bewildered and didn't know how to guess.

After thinking for a moment, Yinzhen finally said, "True love lasts forever."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner said, "That's right, this lantern belongs to the lady."

After saying that, the stall owner handed the rabbit lantern to Tong Cheng'er.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "The first one has a good meaning."
