Since I didn't tell him my identity, it's only natural that they're keeping it from me, so I shouldn't reveal that.
However, this cannot be excused by the system's inaction; it doesn't even know why it was suddenly bound to that person!
What if this happens again, and you end up with someone you can never accept in the future?
The Salty Fish System's aggrieved voice came through, "Dear, the character binding card you received is actually a hidden card within the system. The number of them is limited, and very few people have experienced them. The system really doesn't have much experience!"
However, your experience is very valuable, as it can provide the system with more ideas that will benefit future users!
See, aren't there many benefits to linking a card like this? And don't you really like the character we linked to?
Who... really likes it?
I just think that kind of person is pretty good at making friends!
Jingrou blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed that the system had exposed her attraction to good-looking people.
However, that little boy was indeed very handsome.
The "Salty Fish System" chuckled and went offline. As a decent 9-to-5 system, overtime was absolutely out of the question!
When Yinzhi found Yinreng, his expression was not good.
"I noticed that my second brother, the Crown Prince, seemed distracted, but I didn't expect him to be running around everywhere... It's been so hard for me to find you," he said irritably. He considered himself the eldest brother and had a duty to look after his younger brother when he was out, and it was only at these times that he could put on airs of seniority in front of Yinreng.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, elder brother." Yinreng said calmly.
Yinzhi looked at him suspiciously. Why did he seem so much better in a short time? Had he managed to calm himself down here?
He glared at him but didn't say anything more.
"Lord Chen should be back by now. Let's hurry over there and not keep him waiting."
Yinreng nodded and walked over with Yinzhi with light steps.
After hearing Jingrou's words, he felt much better. It was true. He needed to think carefully about what was most important to him, and not worry too much about other things.
People in his position are seen as a thorn in the side by many, and he's long been used to it.
The person who had seemed somewhat vulnerable in front of Jingrou was now completely unrecognizable as hesitant.
After finishing his business with Chen Yanjing, the two boarded the carriage to return to the palace. Yinreng peered out the window through the gap in the curtain, lost in thought.
The lively atmosphere outside was so captivating that people couldn't help but look again and again.
After having a few opportunities to leave the palace, Yinreng was finally able to see what was happening outside the palace, something he rarely had before.
Yinzhi puffed out his cheeks, looking at Yinreng's slightly upturned lips, and really didn't know what the person in front of him was happy about. Naturally, he was dissatisfied.
He was about to turn 10 years old. Although 10 years old is still the age to study in the Imperial Study, he was already able to go out with people to do errands or be taught some extra things. That's what his maternal grandfather told him.
With great difficulty, thanks to his maternal grandfather's efforts, his father agreed to let him come out to meet with Lord Chen and take care of some matters. Unexpectedly, he also had to bring Yinreng, a person three years younger than him!
He was so much younger than him, so why should he have to start getting involved in these things with him so early? This precious opportunity originally belonged to him alone, which is why Yinzhi didn't like Yinreng.
If Lord Chen and the others think that Yinreng performed better, wouldn't that divert their attention away from him?
Yinzhi frowned, recalling the details of his interactions with Lord Chen that day. He still felt that Yinzhi's behavior was more appropriate. After all, Yinreng had been absent-minded all day, so Lord Chen probably didn't have a good impression of him.
Yinzhi thought to himself with schadenfreude.
As soon as he returned to the palace, the head maid of Consort Hui in Zhongcui Palace was already waiting at the palace gate. As soon as she saw him, she would call him over to Zhongcui Palace to have dinner with Consort Hui.
She was still a child after all. The thought of seeing her mother filled her with joy and pride. She glanced at Yinreng and waved to him in a pretentious manner. The two brothers then said goodbye.
Before Yinzhi had taken more than a few steps, he spotted Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.
"Master Liang." Yinzhi cupped his hands in greeting.
Liang Jiugong naturally dared not accept such a bow. "Oh, Your Highness, it's getting late today. Those people at Yuqing Palace are really inconsiderate; they haven't prepared any food for the Crown Prince. So His Majesty sent this servant to invite the Crown Prince over..."
Yinzhi forced a smile; after all, he was still young. The palace maid beside him smiled and saw him off.
Yinzhi left in a hurry, but he no longer had the excitement he had just felt. He even complained a little, wondering if he would have gone to the Qianqing Palace for his meal if his mother's people had arrived a little later.
It's not that the people in Yuqing Palace are inconsiderate; it's just that the Crown Prince is used to eating at Qianqing Palace, and the people in Yuqing Palace simply don't think about this!
"Liang Daban, let's hurry over there, don't keep Father Khan waiting."
"Why!"
The two brothers then went their separate ways in different directions. The Qianqing Palace was closer, while Yinzhi had to walk a longer and more arduous journey.
There was no way to ride in a sedan chair while staying in the palace. Yinzhi was exhausted after a long day, and the anger he had just suffered made him feel unwell when he arrived at Zhongcui Palace, and his face looked rather sour.
