Although Yinreng had the desire to give away his son and daughter, he dared not say it aloud.
With the thought that it's better to die than to die myself, Yinzhen quickly slipped away.
At this point, he was running quite fast.
With no outsiders around, Yinreng no longer needed to worry about his status as the crown prince, and he shamelessly held Tong Wanyan in his arms.
“My darling, I just want to spend more time with you. Tana and Hongzhao will still come back to sleep at night. Just pretend they're studying in the Imperial Study. When I was studying, I would get up before dawn and not return until dark,” Yinreng coaxed.
Tong Wanyan said thoughtfully, "I had to leave before dawn, and I probably wouldn't even be awake by then."
"Yes, yes. Children will grow up eventually, get married, have children, and start new families. But I will stay with you for the rest of my life, never leaving you." Yinreng added, expressing his importance and deep affection.
“Since you’re already married, and I’ve only had so little time to spend with the children, I should spend more time with Tana and Hongzhao from now on,” Tong Wanyan said with a mischievous smile.
Yinreng panicked: "But you weren't born in the first ten years or so of my life, while you were born into their families."
"Nonsense." Tong Wanyan gently pinched the soft flesh of his waist.
Yinreng grimaced: "Did you feel better, my darling? If not, pinch me a little longer. I'm not afraid of pain."
"Have you no shame? There are people watching. You're making a complete loss of decorum." Tong Wanyan blushed with embarrassment.
“My darling, look closely, they’ve already gone out. I’ve never been a gentleman, just your husband. I have emotions and desires, and I’m greedy enough to want to possess you all to myself,” Yinreng said.
Tong Wanyan couldn't argue with him, so she could only let him talk nonsense.
Her nonsensical words made her feel sweet inside.
She verbally berated Yinreng for being uncivilized, but inwardly she was quite pleased.
Therefore, she feigned anger and uttered some dogmatic words to conform to the rules and regulations for women in the palace, so as not to be accused of being undignified. This would also prevent Yinreng from thinking of her later as a troublesome person.
It was rare for Yinreng not to notice Tong Wanyan's little scheme.
The constraints imposed on men and women are inherently different, making it difficult to cope with and analyze comprehensively.
The New Year has passed in the blink of an eye. The days of playing and having fun make people forget about going home. Suddenly having to get up early for court or school will definitely be difficult to get used to.
On the first day of court in the thirtieth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yinreng stood in the court hall, full of energy, smiling and as elegant and upright as a jade tree.
Some of the drowsy and listless ministers were immediately brightened up upon seeing this, and even they themselves became more energetic.
In truth, Yinreng had unspeakable suffering in his heart.
He had been forced to drink a lot of sour soup by Tong Wanyan early in the morning, and then he smelled a few mint leaves, which made his brain, nose and eyes feel extremely irritated.
Anyone who receives such treatment will have their eyes light up and be full of energy.
The prince, though suffering inwardly, must outwardly feign enjoyment.
Kangxi entered the Golden Palace on time, sat on the dragon throne, and looked down at his ministers. He immediately noticed Yinreng, who seemed to be shining brightly.
"May all of you be like my Crown Prince, diligent in governing and loving the people, never slacking off!" Kangxi couldn't contain his pride and praised Yinreng in his first words at court.
Yinreng puffed out his chest smugly. Look at him, how outstanding he is!
Ordinary people cannot compare to him.
Yinti, who had been kept up late by his little princess last night, looked at Yinreng with dark circles under his eyes and a depressed expression.
He and the Crown Prince are natural enemies, absolutely natural.
He hadn't slept all night, yet the Crown Prince was full of energy. Was he deliberately stepping on his face?
"Your Highness, this is not over between us." Yinti thought to himself.
