Yinreng was unaware that Yintang's casual trip had once again earned Yinqi's gratitude.
In recent years, the people in Yuqing Palace have been living very comfortably. Ever since Yinti stopped digging pits for Yinreng in the capital, all the princes have been very well-behaved, and Yinreng's position as crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai. No one is foolish enough to cause trouble for Yuqing Palace.
Moreover, apart from the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace, the best items from the Imperial Household Department were all sent to the Yuqing Palace, which can be described as extremely extravagant.
"My darling, let me take you to pick fruit." Having finally had a few days of free time, Yinreng couldn't sit still in Yuqing Palace.
The chubby children all went to school, Shi Xiuzhu was busy with palace affairs and couldn't leave for a single day, and the Empress Dowager had Tana to coax her. Yinreng saw in this the dawn of his dream of monopolizing Tong Wanyan.
He is clearly the husband of his beloved, yet he spends less time with her than with anyone else.
Tong Wanyan was picking out jewelry when she heard Yinreng's words and her expression froze.
It seems like it's been a long time since the two of them spent a whole day alone together.
"Then we have to hurry and sneak away," Tong Wanyan whispered, covering her mouth, and quickly picked out a few simple pieces of jewelry.
When going out for fun, you can travel light and don't need to dress up in luxury.
Seeing her reaction, Yinreng smiled even more happily: "I have people keeping an eye on things, and this time I will definitely not let anyone else disturb the two of us."
"Then, sir, pick out some clothes for me?" Tong Wanyan pointed to the wardrobe and trunks, deciding not to be a virtuous wife and loving mother today.
Yinreng readily complied, and he also enjoyed arranging clothes and jewelry for Tong Wanyan.
However, I've been so busy these past few years that I've gradually forgotten the little pleasures of combing my hair and drawing my eyebrows during my honeymoon.
"This one, embroidered with pink butterflies and peach blossoms, would look best with pearl headdress." Yinreng picked out a peach-pink satin cheongsam, which looked very charming.
Scholars often describe a young girl's rosy cheeks and pink face, which shows that pink clothes are the most selective in terms of who can wear them.
Anyone who is a bit older or looks mature should not wear such delicate colors.
Tong Wanyan trusted Yinreng's judgment, and besides, not a single piece of clothing in her trunk was unattractive.
Without needing anyone to serve her, Tong Wanyan went behind the screen to change her clothes and styled her hair into a simple double bun.
Lustrous pink pearls were set in her hair, and a fresh flower was picked from a newly placed vase on the table and pinned to her hair.
When Tong Wanyan walked up to Yinreng, Yinreng couldn't help but instinctively gasp.
"Xiao Yan is even more beautiful than she was eight years ago when she first married me." Yinreng's eyes were filled with amazement.
Having grown accustomed to Tong Wanyan's elegant and dignified or gentle and graceful attire, Yinreng had almost forgotten what they looked like as young boys when they first met.
They were only sixteen or seventeen years old back then, but now they have a son and a daughter and are approaching their thirties.
"When I first saw you, I felt that there was no one more beautiful than you in the world. Now, I still feel that only my face is more beautiful than yours." Yinreng's words were full of infatuation and deep love.
Tong Wanyan looked up and laughed, "When I first saw you, I felt that there was no more handsome man in the world than you. Not only are you good-looking, but you also have a great demeanor. At that time, I thought to myself, I am really lucky to be able to marry you in this life."
“I still think that way now,” Tong Wanyan said.
They complimented each other, then smiled at each other, looking incredibly sweet.
The decision to go to the manor to pick fruit was a sudden whim of Yinreng, without any prior preparation.
Since there was no preparation, there were naturally no signs to be found.
When Shi Xiuzhu finished his work and was about to find Tong Wanyan to have lunch together, he found that she was not there.
"Has the Crown Prince stolen another concubine?" Shi Xiuzhu asked angrily.
