"Cheng'er, what brings you here?"

Tong Cheng'er said, "What, aren't you going in?"

Yinzhen's lips curled into a wide smile: "Come in quickly."

Tong Cheng'er laughed along, "Rulan, have someone bring the food box inside."

"Yes, Madam."

Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng went to help and whispered to Rulan, "Why did the Fujin come over?"

"The princess felt sorry for the master running back and forth, so she came over."

Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng followed suit, his lips curving upwards in a wide smile: "Is that so? That's great."

Yes, it's great.

The two ate together in the room where Yinzhen was handling official business.

"Eat more." Tong Cheng'er put some food on Yinzhen's plate.

In return, Yinzhen also served her some food, saying, "You should eat more too."

The two of them went back and forth, and soon both bowls were full.

Outside, Su Peisheng, holding a bowl of rice, asked Rulan, "Will the Princess Consort bring rice again tomorrow?"

"I don't know, the Princess Consort didn't say."

Su Peisheng was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this: "They didn't say!"

He continued, "See if you can talk to the Fujin (principal wife) and ask her to come more often."

Rulan was stunned upon hearing this: "Steward Su, how can I say that? The Ministry of Personnel is not very close to the mansion. It must be tiring for the Princess to run around like this every day."

That's why she doesn't say it.

“Look, if the Princess Consort doesn’t come, the Master has to go back every day at noon, and he can only make up for the lost time in the evening. The Princess Consort suffers as a result.”

Rulan felt that something was wrong with what was said, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. After a while, she remembered that if the Fujin stayed up a little late, she could make up for it during the day, so it didn't count as being overworked.

Other places under the Ministry of Personnel.

An official, holding a rice bowl and looking at the food inside, couldn't help but ask, "Was that the Fourth Prince's wife who came just now?"

"Yes, it's no wonder that the Fourth Prince dotes on his wife. With her clingy nature, no one could resist her."

"It's only because the Fourth Prince gave his wife a chance that she wouldn't even be able to get in the door."

"Brother Liu, what do you mean by that?"

“In our office, who would dare let their wife come in to bring them food and have them eat with them? The Fourth Prince is usually such a well-behaved person. The fact that his wife can come in shows how much he dotes on her. Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t even be allowed to get in the door.”

"I see!"

I heard something, but I don't know if it's true.

"What is it? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

"Recently, Fourth Prince has been busy reforming the Ministry of Personnel, making it difficult for us to even go home and sleep. He himself is also busy. Even so, he still goes home for lunch every day, supposedly to keep Fourth Prince's wife company, afraid that she will be too lonely eating alone at home."

"No way!"

"How could that be? I think it's true..."

...

The smile on Yinzhen's lips never faded until the meal was over.

Are you coming again tomorrow?

Tong Cheng'er found it amusing and looked at him, "Do you want me to come?"

Yinzhen remained silent, but hope was still hope.

"It depends on my mood!"

Yinzhen smiled indulgently: "Whatever you say."

Actually, her coming today was already beyond his expectations; whether she comes tomorrow or not is up to him.

However, he added at the end, "Going back and forth is too much of a hassle, so it's fine to come only once in a while."

Tong Cheng'er smiled.

The next day, Tong Cheng'er went there.

On the third day, I went.

Day 4...

Day n...

Half a month has passed, and the news that the Fourth Prince's wife goes to the Ministry of Personnel every day to deliver meals to him has spread throughout the capital.

Emperor Kangxi had also heard of it.

Once, when Yinzhen went to the Qianqing Palace, after finishing his business, Kangxi was very satisfied with his work. In his satisfaction, he couldn't help but jokingly ask, "I heard that your wife brings you meals to the Ministry of Personnel every day?"

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's ears turned red, and he said in a serious tone, "Father, the Fujin is just worried that I won't be used to the food."

Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily: "I understand. It's a good thing that you two have a good relationship. By the way, how is your health? Is it still not improving?"

Yinzhen paused for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I still cannot touch other women."

Of course, when he first married his wife, he did try to touch women, but after two unsuccessful attempts, he gave up.

Now he has figured it out. It's a good thing that the backyard is clean and tidy. Besides, he can't imagine what his wife would do if she knew he had another woman.

It was certain that she would be unhappy, and the thought of her being unhappy made Yinzhen feel terrible.

He didn't understand what love was, but he just didn't want his wife to be sad.

Later, he not only became physically averse to touching other women, but he also became psychologically unwilling to do so, and never tried again.

Looking back now, even if his bad habits were cured, he wouldn't let any random people into his mansion.

However, it must be said that whether or not to fight for the throne is a difficult question to answer.

After all, he is not yet twenty years old, and everything is still a long way off.

However, if one is to fight for the throne, then one must make the Emperor understand that his current affection for the young consort is not genuine; otherwise, no matter how outstanding his abilities are, the throne is not in sight.

After all, the Emperor had seen what Consort Dong'e had done, and the Aisin Gioro family could not tolerate a lovelorn emperor.

He said that to leave himself an alternative.

Kangxi sighed: "It's alright. After all, the Living Buddha said that this is a debt you incurred yourself. Since there's no improvement, I'll add one more thing: you and your wife should work harder. Even Xiao Wu has a child now."

Yinzhen lowered his head: "Your subject understands."

Kangxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He couldn't really say anything about this, since he was the most worrisome person, and Consort Wuya didn't seem to care much about him.
