Swinging on a swing is best done when spring is in full bloom.
Back then, the weather was nice and the scenery was beautiful.
The only ones who would think of going out in this cold weather are this willful family of three.
If the master wants to go out and have fun, the servant can't just follow along.
Clear out any irrelevant people, prepare tea and snacks, and bring cushions and a heater—that's the bare minimum.
When Tong Wanyan and Yinreng led their son leisurely to the courtyard with the swing, the surrounding area had already been set up and covered with light gauze, blocking most of the wind.
There were six or seven charcoal stoves placed around the perimeter, cleverly positioned to provide warmth without the smog.
The two swings were placed side by side, and Yinreng consciously stood behind Tong Wanyan.
As for Hongsheng, he can just kick it around by himself. If that doesn't work, there's a group of servants standing around, vying to push the Second Prince on the swing and show off in front of their master.
Hongsheng just wanted to get some fresh air; he was feeling suffocated from staying indoors reading all day.
Whether someone is with you or not, it's all the same.
He swung on the swing by himself, his smile innocent and carefree.
Even with hands frozen red, they still smiled happily.
Tong Wanyan and Yinreng gazed into each other's eyes, their eyes filled with affection, and even their swinging on the swing exuded tenderness.
"Once this period is over, I will have the Imperial Music Bureau arrange some songs and dances to entertain Grandmother Empress Dowager," Yinreng said.
He continued in a low voice, "You often go to Ning Shou Palace to watch song and dance performances with Grandmother Empress Dowager, which helps pass the time."
This is using the Empress Dowager's name to amuse Tong Wanyan.
Tong Wanyan understood his intentions: "I will do whatever you say, Master. You reciprocate my kindness. If there are any nice tunes, I will learn them and play them for you."
Yinreng pursed his lips: "That sounds nice, but every time I went to play with the Crown Princess first."
"Master is a very busy man, he's always on the go, you can't even see him all day. When the Crown Princess comes to see me, how can I ignore her? Besides, we're siblings. No, sisters, a better relationship between us would save Master a lot of trouble, wouldn't it?" Tong Wanyan misspoke, her guilty eyes darting around nervously.
Yinreng deliberately pushed hard, and Tong Wanyan, who was suddenly pushed into the air, couldn't help but gasp softly.
"Master, push it higher. The view is amazing." Tong Wanyan pleaded with Yinreng, as if she had discovered something new.
Yinreng had no choice but to do as she said.
A swing is only fun when it swings high, so Hongsheng followed suit and asked a strong eunuch to push him higher.
Before long, both the big and little ones had rosy cheeks and bright, sparkling eyes from playing.
"I knew the Crown Princess was very capable. Besides tricking my son into calling her 'Father,' she also fooled you into calling her 'Brother.' She was born into the wrong family and became a woman. It's truly a pity for her. If it weren't for my magnanimity, she would have been deposed long ago."
Yinreng chased the servants ten meters away and took Hongsheng to play.
With no one around, Tong Wanyan tilted her head and coquettishly acted towards Yinreng.
She tugged at his sleeve and shook it gently: "She has helped me a lot, and she is genuinely good to me. Whether she is my brother or sister, it cannot hide her true love and care for me. If it were a different Crown Princess, the backyard of Yuqing Palace would have been in chaos long ago. My lord, you must not be greedy."
Yinreng was amused by her nonsense: "How am I greedy? Of all the waters in the world, I only want to drink from one. With such single-minded devotion, I am not greedy, I only covet you."
“That’s because my sip was so delicious, making the rest of the food seem bland and tasteless,” Tong Wanyan said.
