After replying, she looked up, her dark eyes meeting Yinzhen's, and asked, "Father, is what Sister Huan said true? Is Mother Tong a great beauty?"

Yinzhen chuckled, patted the back of his youngest daughter's head, and said gently, "What Huan'er said is true, your Mother Tong is very beautiful."

Ingege became even more curious and seized the opportunity to ask, "Could I see my daughter?"

"No." Yinzhen instinctively refused, his mind flashing with too many things: the poisoning of his second son Hongpan, the miscarriage of Lady Lijia, the miscarriage of his wife, all of which were more or less related to Lady Tong.

She avoided the princes and princesses in the mansion like the plague, fearing that she would be implicated again in their schemes to use her offspring against her.

He was no different.

"Su Peisheng, escort the princess back, and also inform everyone that no one is allowed to disturb the concubine at will, especially the young masters in the mansion."

When Yinggege heard her father's order, her little mind couldn't understand why her father wouldn't allow her to enter the Lan Courtyard, not even to see her mother, Tong Eniang.

Ah Ma is so stingy.

Su Peisheng vaguely sensed the prince's concerns, and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After escorting Yinzhen into the Orchid Courtyard, Su Peisheng said to Yinggege, "Gege, let's go."

"Why? Why won't Father let me see Mother Tong?" Yinggege asked as she walked.

Su Peisheng really didn't know how to answer this question. The prince's order was a way of protecting Master Tong and the other young masters in the mansion.

Anyone who isn't mentally challenged, or an elderly person who has lived in the household for a long time, probably knows what's going on.

Not getting an answer, Yinggege looked somewhat displeased and pressed on again, "Why is that, Eunuch Su?"
