After Xuan Niao finished speaking, he buried his head in his food again.
The melon seeds peeled by the beautiful woman taste better than those peeled by the auspicious one.
Shi Xiuzhu stared intently at Yinreng, while Tong Wanyan teasingly raised an eyebrow at him.
Two people surrounded him from different directions, which frightened Yinreng so much that his hands trembled.
"My darling, trust me, I guarantee I won't have any other women. You are a star in the sky, they are just dust on earth, and I will never waver. I'll have someone investigate right now to see who has the guts to do something so reckless." Yinreng hurriedly pledged his loyalty, his words carrying a hint of thuggishness.
The black bird swallowed the last melon seed, raised its neck, and shrieked, "Kill her, kill her!"
Tong Wanyan smiled faintly and placed the black bird on the table: "Go out and play with Tana, what are you yelling about?"
The black bird, its body growing increasingly plump, obediently flew away.
Before leaving, it didn't forget to say, "My beautiful lady, I'll bring you flowers later! The most beautiful ones!"
The black bird dropped a thunderbolt and flew away swaggeringly, leaving Yinreng to clean up the mess.
Shi Xiuzhu wanted to stay in the South Courtyard to watch the play and perhaps stir up some trouble, but unfortunately she was too busy to finish her tea. She had barely picked up her teacup when she was dragged away.
When only Tong Wanyan and Yinreng were in the room, Yinreng closed the door and nimbly knelt down, hugging Tong Wanyan's leg.
A man's knees are worth gold; if his darling is angry, what use is gold?
"Father Emperor told me that he wouldn't interfere in the inner quarters of Yuqing Palace. Since they said they wanted to give someone to me, they certainly can't hide it for long. When the time comes, I'll know who's got designs on me when they're loitering around in front of me." Yinreng held onto Tong Wanyan's leg, becoming restless as he spoke.
Tong Wanyan shook his leg and grinned, "My darling, please have mercy on me, I miss you."
As he spoke, he carried the person into the inner room.
Tong Wanyan stared in disbelief: "You're a pervert."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am not only a rogue but also a lecher. However, I only lust after Xiao Yan. From day to night, I only think about Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan has to take care of Tana, Hong Zhao, and Hong Sheng. I feel very wronged." Yinreng shamelessly pretended to be pitiful.
His eyes were filled with grievance. He quickly took off his outer robe, lifted his inner garment, and revealed the well-defined muscles in his abdomen.
"Life is short, every time you sleep with me is one less time you have. Little Yan, you must cherish me." Yinreng flaunted his good looks.
Tong Wanyan could never resist Yinreng's good looks.
“What you say makes sense. In a few years, I won’t be a handsome young man anymore.” Tong Wanyan hugged Yinreng’s strong waist, her eyes dreamy.
Birds of a feather flock together. Yinreng is a rogue, and Tong Wanyan is a lecher.
No one expected that Yinreng's self-incriminating statement would come so quickly.
Consort Tong, who had been punished by Emperor Kangxi to retreat to Mount Wutai for spiritual cultivation, returned to the capital with her belongings, bringing along a beautiful and elegant young woman.
The girl was Consort Tong's cousin. She was an orphan, having lost both her parents. She belonged to the Han Banner and came from the Chenjia clan.
At first, the concubines in the harem thought that Consort Tong had found an ally to help them win the emperor's favor, and they were all on high alert, unwilling to let Kangxi be taken away by someone else.
However, during the few days after Consort Tong returned to the palace, she was well-behaved and obedient. Apart from paying her respects to the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine on the first day, she did not step out of her palace. She also did not use the little tricks that concubines used to send tea and snacks to Emperor Kangxi.
The silence left the concubines in the harem completely bewildered.
It wasn't until the sixth day after Consort Tong returned to the palace, when she took Lady Chen to Yuqing Palace, that the fox's tail was revealed.
Yinreng was on leave that day and did not need to attend court.
When he received Consort Tong's visiting card from Shi Xiuzhu, he was astonished: "Does Father Emperor allow her to return to the capital so that the women in the harem can broaden their horizons and see how stupid people can be?"
