Whenever Yinzhen encountered anything related to Yinreng and Tong Wanyan, he would easily become anxious and unable to sleep all night due to worry.
On the contrary, the two people who were the main characters remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by the situation.
After Yinzhen and Yinreng finished their conversation, Tong Wanyan said with a smile, "Fourth brother, why don't you stay here for dinner? I'll send someone to tell your wife to come over as well."
Yinzhen waved his hand repeatedly, even though he really wanted to stay and chat with Yinreng a little longer.
“Honghui caught a cold a few days ago, and his wife has been watching over him every day, not daring to close her eyes. I have to go back to be with him, lest the little one recovers but the master collapses from exhaustion,” Yinzhen said.
Tong Wanyan scrutinized him closely; his stubble on his chin was still unshaven, and his eyes were dark and swollen.
“Then let Physician Chang go with you. Tana and the others have been mischievous since they were little, and Physician Chang is very experienced in treating children's illnesses. Perhaps he can make Honghui feel more comfortable,” Tong Wanyan said.
A minor cold won't make you sick, but it can be incredibly uncomfortable.
It would be best if Physician Chang could help Honghui recover as soon as possible.
If all else fails, modifying the prescription to make it less unpalatable is also a good option.
Yinzhen said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Second Sister-in-law and Second Brother. Actually, Honghui is a boy, so it's alright for him to suffer a little. Spoiling him will only make him more delicate."
Tong Wanyan curled her lips into a half-smile: "Fourth brother wasn't like this when he was coaxing Tana."
Yinzhen's expression turned serious: "How can Honghui compare to his sister?"
The blatant favoritism made Tong Wanyan laugh so hard she almost fell over: "That won't do. Fourth Brother favors Tana, so I have to favor Honghui too. He's such a clever and adorable child, yet you always have such a stern face towards him. Once he's recovered, I'll personally bring him to Yuqing Palace to play."
“Xiao Yan is right. It’s not that I dislike you, but Honghui is much smarter than you were when you were young. I know you value Honghui; he is your eldest son and will have to shoulder responsibilities in the future. However, too much of a good thing can be bad. In a few years, when he starts studying with his teacher, he may not dare to be as close to you as he is now. The closeness between father and son is innate, and even a strict father cannot forget to love his children.”
As the elder brother, Yinreng earnestly imparted his experience as a good father to Yinzhen.
When Yinzhen's concerns were pointed out by Yinreng, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Indeed, as his eldest son, Honghui was someone he had high hopes for.
The more you value something, the stricter you become.
Although the Fourth Prince's wife felt uncomfortable watching him, she understood Yinzhen's meaning and therefore did not interfere with the way the father and son interacted.
Now that Tong Wanyan had pointed it out with her teasing words, Yinzhen broke out in a cold sweat.
"Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are right. I've gone astray." Yinzhen bowed to the two of them, realizing his mistake.
"The little kitchen made sweet pumpkin dessert today, didn't it? Chunque, pack a box and bring it over to the Fourth Prince." Tong Wanyan said, "Pumpkin is good for the stomach and spleen, and it will be good for all three of you."
"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law." Yinzhen was moved again without even realizing it.
"We're family, no need for thanks," Yinreng said with a smile.
Suddenly, he frowned: "Father Emperor plans to betroth Wen Xian to Shun An Yan. She is, after all, your own sister. You should go and see her when you have time."
The Fifth Princess, Wenxian, was raised by the Empress Dowager from a young age and was gentle and intelligent.
Tong Wanyan often visited Cishou Palace, and they would occasionally bump into each other, and they got along very well.
It was precisely because of this that even though Consort Wuya spent her entire life in the cold palace, Princess Wenxian was deeply loved by Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, who directly arranged her marriage to the Tong family.
Shun'an Yan was the grandson of Tong Guowei, and his father, Ye Keshu, was Tong Guowei's eldest son.
With such a family background, even if Princess Wenxian was the daughter of an emperor, marrying her would still be considered a stroke of luck.
