Xia Zhu and Su Jixiang both went to the estate, leaving only Chun Que guarding the south courtyard.
When Shi Xiuzhu got angry, the eunuchs and palace maids working nearby all stopped what they were doing in fear and unease.
The Crown Princess is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince again!
No one thought that Shi Xiuzhu's anger was directed at Tong Wanyan; it was simply because Shi Xiuzhu had been too good to Tong Wanyan.
That doting and protective attitude was like that of someone who dotes on a daughter, taking meticulous care of her and unwilling to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
I've never seen such a wife and concubine in the whole world.
"The Crown Prince said he hadn't spent much time alone with his concubine in a long time, so he decided to go out for a stroll since he had some free time. It just so happens that the orchards on the estate are ready for picking, so he went over to get some fresh air and enjoy the pleasures of the countryside," Chunque explained to Shi Xiuzhu.
Shi Xiuzhu took a deep breath; she generally didn't lose her temper with women.
"He's just wary of me. He takes people out to play without saying a word, and even makes me take care of the children. He's got his plans all figured out. But I won't let him have his way. Come on, let's go back and change our clothes, and also go see how the Crown Prince's orchard is doing." Shi Xiuzhu decided to relax for a while today.
Chun Que smiled faintly as she saw Shi Xiuzhu off, secretly thinking that her master was indeed a prophet.
"Don't just stand there. The wind has been strong these past few days, and all the dust has been swept away. I'll go pick some new flowers and put them in the vase," Chunque instructed her servants.
At this time, Tong Wanyan and Yinreng had already arrived at the manor.
The person in charge of the estate had received the news earlier and hurriedly cleaned up the estate; it looked quite nice.
Yinreng wasn't here to suffer, and he couldn't accept going out for fun only to end up covered in mud.
Products grown in royal orchards are bound to be both beautiful and delicious.
You don't need to learn how to pick them; just pick a few that look ripe, and they'll be so sweet they'll make you smile.
Without letting the head of the estate lead the way, Yinreng took Tong Wanyan's hand and walked in the direction the head of the estate pointed.
The servants followed at a distance, carrying bamboo baskets and handkerchiefs, ready to serve at any moment.
"When I was young, I dreamed of being a chivalrous knight-errant. To roam freely, uphold justice, without having to memorize texts every morning or listen to classical texts before bed. To sleep in trees when tired, to hunt in the mountains when hungry, and to pick fruit to eat when thirsty. Later, my father took me to try it once, and I never had that idea again." Yinreng said, rambling on as he walked.
Tong Wanyan looked at him curiously: "How did Father Emperor treat you?"
Yinreng laughed and said, "Father Emperor let me experience the life of eating wind and dew and sleeping on the streets. I then realized that it is better to live in luxury."
"Oh?" Tong Wanyan became even more curious.
"Father abandoned me in the outskirts of the capital without giving me a drop of water, leaving me to spend the night alone. When I was thirsty, I picked fruit, but it was so sour it made my mouth ache. I slept on a tree trunk at night, and when I woke up, a large green caterpillar was crawling on my neck, and I had also swatted another one dead in my hand. As for water, it was nothing compared to the sweet taste of ordinary river water." Yinreng spoke with bitter tears.
Tong Wanyan felt both sorry for you and amused: "Only Father Emperor can control you."
"No, my darling can still control her." Taking the opportunity, Yinreng grasped Tong Wanyan's hand, placed it on his chest, and uttered a sweet word.
With a burning gaze, Tong Wanyan quickly lowered her head and fanned herself with her hand to cover her flushed cheeks: "It's so hot today, let's go to the shade of a tree."
Yinreng chuckled foolishly: "I'll cover you up, Xiaoyan is getting too hot, it breaks my heart."
