Duofu shook her feet, which were already wearing socks, and then looked at Yinzhen, who still had a cold expression.

"Fourth Brother, this isn't my fault. At most, I'm only partly to blame. The main reason is you. Why weren't you there when I woke up? Otherwise, why would I not be wearing socks?"

As Duofu spoke, he felt more and more justified, and his voice became more confident and assertive, without a trace of his previous unease.

When Yinzhen heard Duofu's sophistry, he glanced at Duofu with his narrow eyes and thought, "What an ignorant little dumpling."

This is being blamed on him.

Duofu gave his owner a smug look, his fair and fleshy fingers pointing at his favorite dish, waiting for his owner to pick it up for him.

Even though Yinzhen is now the emperor, he has not changed the habit he developed since childhood, and still prefers to serve Duofu, whom he raised, himself.

Whenever he saw that fair and chubby little face showing a joyful or satisfied expression, he felt even happier than if he had handled an important national matter.

This sense of satisfaction and joy was something that nothing else could bring him.

Only his good fortune can be achieved.

After dinner, it was already quite late, and since Emperor Kangxi had already sent someone to inform us that we shouldn't go to pay our respects today, but should do it tomorrow.

Yinzhen only sent someone over and did not go in person. He planned to go to pay his respects early the next morning after breakfast to express his filial piety.

Duofu certainly wouldn't have any objections; since he was already here, he was sure he'd see it, so a little extra time wouldn't make a difference.

When Duofu arrived at Changchun Garden, he was no longer in a hurry. The Crown Prince, who had become somewhat strange, was right there, and he couldn't escape anyway.

Moreover, he was quite tired from the long carriage ride. After eating his fill, he didn't want to wander around; he just wanted to wash up and go to sleep.

Ideally, his owner should give him a full-body massage as well.
