Orondai had the appearance of a mighty and valiant general, and the thick beard on his chin made him even more intimidating.
Unfortunately, his fierce appearance belies a rather dim-witted mind.
Yinzhen looked at him with disdain and comforted him, "Lord Tong will get used to it."
Orondai did not find it pleasant to be comforted by a child under ten years old.
He was inwardly wiping away tears. Those people in the royal family were all cunning and ruthless, and loved to cheat people.
Orondai looked aggrieved, and after Yintang offered a few words of comfort, he couldn't bear to look at him any longer and simply ignored him.
When Orondai escorted him to the courtyard where he was taking a nap, he said, "Lord Tong, the reward you received is yours. The reward your second brother, the Crown Prince, received by taking his younger sister-in-law back to her parents' home was also a reward he received. The two are not contradictory, so Lord Tong need not feel wronged."
Orondai's eyes lit up: "Hearing your words is better than reading for ten years! Ninth Prince, you are so smart!"
Yinzhen grinned happily, but after a while, he suddenly realized that this made him seem a bit too easy to please. So, he immediately pursed his upturned lips and nodded reservedly.
"I'm just reminding Lord Tong that the credit is still earned by Lord Tong himself." After saying that, Yin Tang added, "Of course, I am the smartest prince of this generation, apart from my second brother, the Crown Prince."
Orondai patted Yintang's head, treating him like his own nephew: "Ninth Prince, rest well. This afternoon, I will take you to tour the capital."
Yinzhen playfully slapped his hand away, saying, "Don't touch my head."
Orondai smiled without refuting, and after watching Yinzhen enter the room, he turned and left.
As someone who fought with Emperor Kangxi when he was a child and even scratched his face, how could he be afraid of the young prince? That's completely impossible!
In the end, Orondai was unable to act as a guide and lead Yinreng, Tong Wanyan, and Yintang on a tour of the capital.
He was called away by his boss to handle an urgent matter, and he couldn't even dawdle for half an hour.
Such a coincidence is not surprising at all; it must have been done secretly by someone appointed by Yinreng.
Walking on the streets of the capital, listening to the cries of vendors, Tong Wanyan's eyes, full of curiosity, didn't know where to look.
Seeing Tong Wanyan's ignorant look, Yin Tang tugged at Yin Reng's sleeve and said to him with heartache, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is so pitiful. We can come out to play every ten days or half a month, but she can only walk around in the courtyard. Even if the courtyard is more exquisite and bigger, it's not as lively as the street. At home, you have to think three times before you speak. It's not just Second Sister-in-law who's tired, everyone is miserable."
Yinreng held Tong Wanyan's hand with one hand, afraid that she might accidentally get lost.
Even with guards protecting him, he still had to be on guard just in case.
“That’s why Father has to go out several times every year,” Yinreng said.
Yinzhen nodded in agreement, "I see, Second Brother's insight is brilliant."
Attracted by the sugar paintings on the roadside, Tong Wanyan had already bought three sugar paintings while Yinreng and Yintang were talking.
One butterfly, one fish, one monkey—Tong Wanyan had De Shun pay a few copper coins and give one to each of Yinreng and Yintang.
Yin Tang, who had abstained from sugar for several months, couldn't help but drool when he saw the sugar painting.
"Second Sister-in-law, why did you give me a sugar cake that looks like a monkey?" Yin Tang took a bite and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Sure enough, his greatest love in life was still sweets.
Tong Wanyan, munching on a candy butterfly, said, "I noticed that the monkey had the most candy, so I specially picked it out for Ninth Brother."
"My second sister-in-law is the best to me." Yinzhen held the bamboo skewer, his voice trembling with emotion.
