Now that we're here, and we're not children anymore, there's nothing we can't tell you.
With servants like Deshun guarding the door, there was no need to worry about any conversations being overheard and spread by those with ulterior motives.
Knowing that Yinreng had traveled a long way and had not rested, the youngest, Hongyan, did not rush into his arms, but stood obediently beside his older brother.
"Are Father and Fourth Uncle worried that this will affect my marriage with Danjin?" Tana asked in a clear voice.
Yinreng looked at his only daughter with loving eyes, while Yinzhen's face was also full of heartache.
“If that boy changes his mind because of this, your fourth uncle will definitely cancel the marriage and find you another suitable husband.” Yinzhen’s calm nature turned into impulsiveness and anger when he was with Yinreng’s family.
Yinreng gave Yinzhen a reassuring look, and Yinzhen lowered his head in annoyance; he had spoken too quickly again.
“What your fourth uncle said is also what Father meant. Father’s little daughter cannot be bullied by others,” Yinreng said gently.
The youngest daughter's romantic feelings are the hardest to unravel, and Yinreng is most afraid that his daughter will suffer setbacks in this matter.
Tana smiled brightly and said, "Father, don't you believe in the child you and Mother raised? If Danjin's feelings for me change because of this, then I will not care about him. My nobility lies not only in being the daughter of the Crown Prince, but also in my knowledge, character, and abilities. If he is so shallow, he is not worthy of me."
"Good. Well said." Yinzhen couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.
After he finished shouting, he glanced cautiously at Yinreng; it seemed he had gone too far again.
Tong Wanyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She pulled Tana to her side, and the two of them sat together.
"Look at your fourth uncle, how much he dotes on you. He's raised you like a precious jewel since you were little, and he can't bear to see you suffer even the slightest grievance." Tong Wanyan smoothed the hair at Tana's temples.
Tana winked playfully: "I will take good care of my fourth uncle. My relationship with him is no less than that of other fathers and daughters. When I was little and didn't understand, I thought I was adopted from my fourth uncle's house and raised by my father and mother."
Yinzhen was overjoyed to hear this. The corners of his mouth curled up, and gradually he broke into a wide grin.
Yinreng and Tong Wanyan exchanged a subtle glance, finally managing to soothe the stubborn fourth prince and make him happy.
Shi Xiuzhu's gaze lingered on Tong Wanyan and her daughter Tana. These two were truly naturally endearing. They were extremely wary of outsiders, yet they were incredibly kind and open with their hearts in front of them.
"Since you three are men, I won't say much. Whether it's dealing with people or learning martial arts, you have been taught by the best teachers over the years. In the future, your uncles and I will continue to guide you. If you still have to rely on the title of Prince of Yuqing Palace, you might as well get a Beizi title as soon as possible, leave the palace, and make a living."
Yinreng was always stern and uncompromising towards his sons.
“Your sons know. Father has given us the best, and we will never let you down,” the three brothers, Hongzhao, Hongsheng, and Hongyan, quickly composed themselves and said solemnly.
"Father, you, Mother, and the Crown Princess, just relax and do what you want. Your son is all grown up now. Although Hongyan is still a little young, you can rely on me and my older brother to support you," Hongsheng said with a sweet smile. Even now that he's grown up, he's still that sweet-hearted child whose smile can melt anyone's heart.
When his brother called his name, Hongyan replied, "Yes, yes, yes, enjoy your old age in peace."
“I’m not that old yet. Were you secretly sleeping in your Chinese studies class again?” Yinreng glared at his youngest son.
Why are these children getting worse and worse with each birth? It would have been better to have had twins from the start, saving Xiao Yan the pain of ten months of pregnancy and childbirth.
