But Lingpu didn't get married.
After grumbling to himself for a while, Lingpu refused to face the painful reality.
Yinreng first took the reins of the horse and let Tong Wan mount it, then he himself mounted the horse.
The guards were scattered around and followed behind to protect their masters, ensuring they wouldn't disturb their fun and could respond promptly in case of any accidents.
"Lord Ling looks particularly lonely standing alone on the side," Tong Wanyan said suddenly as she walked side by side with Yinreng.
Yinreng gave a mocking smile: "Serves him right. Ling Mama has introduced him to so many girls, and he hasn't chosen a single one. If this continues, our Hongzhao will be able to shoot down eagles with a bow, and he'll still be all alone."
Yinreng was filled with a sense of superiority, for he had a virtuous wife, loving children, and a bachelor like Lingpu could not compare to him.
Tong Wanyan smiled secretly: "Master, Lord Ling could hear your voice very clearly."
Yinreng raised an eyebrow: "It was meant for him to hear."
"Lingpu, Ling Mama has found you another girl today. I specially arranged for you to come out of the picture. Are you touched?" Yinreng asked.
Lingpu's bronze, square face was truly filled with emotion.
He was terrified by his mother's constant attempts to find him girls: "Sir, why don't you transfer me out of the capital, somewhere far away? Staying for three to five years won't be a problem."
"What about Granny Ling?" Tong Wanyan asked.
Lingpu looked at Yinreng: "My mother used to only care about you, Master. Now, she also has the concubine and the two young masters. I think that my mother is so eager for me to get married, probably because she thinks that this way she can completely stop caring about me."
Lingpu sounded rather pitiful, and Yinreng and Tong Wanyan guiltily pulled on the reins and rode to the side.
On the contrary, Lingpu didn't feel sorry for himself.
He was born without a mother's love, but it was because of the Crown Prince that he was able to rise rapidly in his career, with people flattering him and fawning over him everywhere.
Gains and losses, there are gains and losses, that's fair.
Lingpu consciously refrained from disturbing the happy young couple ahead of him, and rode his horse alone, carefree and at ease.
Suddenly, the guards standing around asked Yinreng and Tong Wanyan to stop, and they went forward to investigate.
Apart from the two who went forward, the others, along with Ling Pu, surrounded Yinreng and Tong Wanyan, and held the reins of their horses in case of any trouble.
A short while later, a young woman dressed in coarse cloth and with delicate features was brought over.
"This humble woman pays her respects to Your Highness." Cao Tianxiu knelt on the ground, her bowing improper, but her eyes remained remarkably calm.
Despite her imposing presence beside Yinreng, Tong Wanyan was completely ignored by him.
Yinreng frowned, clearly dissatisfied.
The guards placed their hands on their scabbards, ready to draw their swords at any moment.
The remnants of the anti-Qing and restoration movement have always existed.
Lingpu, acting as interrogator, asked, "Are you from the village? Why are you here?"
Before Cao Tianxiu could answer, the steward, his legs weak, rushed forward.
He was the steward of the estate, and whenever Yinreng went out, he would definitely follow behind, ready to answer questions at any time.
"Your Highness, Consort, this is my wife." The steward stopped calling her "wife" all the time.
He clearly told her this morning to stay inside and not go out.
Cao Tianxiu didn't even look at the steward, but stared expectantly at Yinreng: "Your Highness, I married into the estate last year. I heard that you were very satisfied with my breakfast, so I thought I'd come out and pick some fresh wild vegetables to cook something delicious for you at noon."
Tong Wanyan looked at her quietly, a hint of understanding in her eyes.
This stewardess is probably no ordinary person.
But judging from her clear and honest eyes, without the slightest hint of coyness, she shouldn't be the type to offer herself up as a concubine.
Since she didn't want to use the back door and had a mysterious closeness, admiration, and affection for Yinreng, then there wasn't much of a bad thing.
The manager's legs went weak. He used to admire his wife's competence, but now he thinks she's far too capable.
Yinreng didn't think as much as Tong Wanyan: "Take her back and don't let her out again. I don't want to see her; it spoils my mood."
Cao Tianxiu's accidental departure was swiftly followed by her being dragged away.
Yinreng thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yan, come to my horse and I will take you riding."
