Yin Tang felt extremely guilty towards Yin E and made him a lot of promises along the way.
Fortunately, they left quickly, and Yuqing Palace wasn't too far away. Otherwise, all the good things he had hoarded for over a decade would have been looted by Yin'e.
There were people waiting at the entrance of Yuqing Palace. As soon as Yinzhen and Yin'e arrived, they led them to the South Garden.
Yinzhen hurriedly walked to the South Garden, and when he saw Tong Wanyan's ethereal face, he felt relieved and ran over to her.
"Greetings, Second Brother, Crown Princess Sister-in-law, and Second Sister-in-law." Yinzhen and Yin'e greeted everyone in a string, their words flowing smoothly without taking a breath.
Yinreng looked at them with a half-smile in his narrow phoenix eyes: "Rare guests indeed."
Yinzhen and Yin'e both turned to look at Tong Wanyan: "Second Sister-in-law!"
Tong Wanyan and Shi Xiuzhu sat side by side, their smiles equally gentle, but one could immediately see the schadenfreude in their eyes.
Yinzhen felt a heavy weight in his heart. He shouldn't have entered the tiger's den for a little food.
Seeing their changing expressions, Tong Wanyan secretly chuckled at Yinreng's wicked sense of humor.
He was clearly concerned about the two younger ones, but when the others arrived, he scared them so much they didn't dare to look up.
"Calling me won't do any good. It's been months already, and even Father Emperor asked about this when he came to Yuqing Palace last time." Tong Wanyan shrugged, offering no help.
With a bitter expression, Yin Tang cast a flirtatious glance at Shi Xiuzhu with his amorous peach blossom eyes.
“Sister-in-law Crown Princess, Mother always says you are gentle and kind, like Empress Zhangsun of the Tang Dynasty.” Yinzhen shifted his gaze to Shi Xiuzhu.
Shi Xiuzhu smiled gently yet dignifiedly: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Xiao Jiu left Yuqing Palace without a reason, causing the Crown Prince to be heartbroken for so many days. This brotherhood must be cherished to last. It's all human nature; who isn't stronger?"
Yin'e lowered his head thoughtfully, and for the first time, he apologized before Yin'tang: "Second brother, I'm sorry. The brother that Ninth Brother and I respect the most will always be you. No one else, even if they climb to the highest heaven, we will never submit to them."
Yinzhen, his face flushed, nodded and said, "This time it was my bad idea, Second Brother, please don't blame Xiao Shi. I'm just unhappy that you're all busy with other things and have forgotten about me and Xiao Shi. We used to play together every day, but suddenly you're all busy with other things and left the two of us and Hongzhao together. He's a short-legged chubby little guy, what can we play with him?"
“Ninth Uncle, my legs aren’t short.” Hongzhao stepped out from the tall flower bushes behind him.
Yinzhen pursed his lips, his face flushed with embarrassment and annoyance: "It's so hot, Hongzhao, why aren't you playing inside? What are you doing running around in the flower garden?"
"I want to pick flowers for my sister." Hongzhao, with his chubby little belly, had a round, fair face that looked as festive and beautiful as a New Year's picture doll.
Yinzhen couldn't resist lifting his foot, wanting to walk over and pinch the chubby boy's face.
Tong Wanyan's smiling eyes swept across his face, and Yinzhen calmly restrained himself.
I'll wait until next time we're in the study to pinch my chubby nephew's cheeks. With his sister-in-law protecting him here, he can't beat her.
Hongzhao was unaware that his chubby little face had caught the eye of Yinzhen.
He said innocently, "Ninth Uncle, Tenth Uncle, Mother asked the cook to make lots of delicious food. Let's go in quickly!"
With a pained expression, Yin'e said to his brother Hongzhao, "Nephew, your tenth uncle also wants to, but my stomach is rumbling with hunger. But..."
Yin'e looked pitiful and bowed to Yinreng, saying, "Second Brother, could you let the younger brothers eat their fill before being punished? As long as they're full, everything is negotiable!"
