Yinzhen instructed Su Peisheng, who was waiting nearby, to have the kitchen prepare the meal. Then he started chatting with Tong Cheng'er. Yinzhen was quite talkative when he wanted to chat with someone.

Before they knew it, their conversation gradually shifted from Tong Xuewen's studies on the imperial examinations to the strange and interesting stories mentioned in travelogues and miscellaneous books, and eventually even touched on the types of storybooks that Tong Cheng'er liked to read, such as detective stories.

At first, Tong Cheng'er didn't notice, but as they talked, she realized it and felt strange. She didn't seem to know the Fourth Prince well, and his behavior made her feel like he wanted to get something from her.

It's no wonder she thinks that way; after all, there's an old saying: "No one gets up early without a reason."

After realizing this, Tong Cheng'er became wary. When the dishes were served, she ate a few, tasted them briefly, and then got up to leave without savoring them.

Yinzhen couldn't force her to stay, but her behavior made him appreciate her even more. Although this Consort Tong wasn't well-known, she was sensible and knew what she was doing.

Thinking this, Yinzhen smiled.

Su Peisheng watched from the side, thinking to himself, "Goodness gracious! This Princess Tong may not have any real skills, but she can make the master smile. That's quite an achievement. Judging from the master's attitude, there should be many more opportunities to see her in the future!"

It seems we should be more polite to this Princess Tong in the future. After all, with Princess Tong's family background, she is certainly qualified to be the Fourth Prince's wife, and the position is currently vacant.

Tong Cheng'er left the private room, and Ru Xue and Ru Lan followed.

Ru Xue asked, "Princess, is there anything wrong with the people in this private room?"

Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "No, don't worry, he's not a bad person. But don't tell Mother about today's events, it's not a big deal anyway."

Ru Xue and Ru Lan: "Yes, Princess."

Tong Cheng'er added, "Last time we went out, I said I'd take you around, but we didn't end up going. This time we have the chance, so let's go sightseeing before we go back!"

Seeing that the princess was still in the mood to go shopping, Ruxue and Rulan figured that the people in the private room must not have made things difficult for her, so they agreed with peace of mind.
