Princes are entitled to a wedding leave. Yinzhen had three days off from official duties. On the second day of his marriage, Yinzhen spent the whole day at home with Tong Cheng'er, and the two of them were reading books.
However, when Yinzhen was looking at some old files from the Ministry of Revenue, his father, the Emperor, had already told him that he would work in the Ministry of Revenue after the marriage.
So familiarize yourself with the process beforehand.
Although Emperor Yongzheng in my dream came from the Ministry of Revenue, it wasn't my own life experience, so I still had to read the relevant documents.
As for Tong Cheng'er, she was still holding her cat and reading a storybook.
The two were in the same study, undisturbed by each other, creating a harmonious scene that seemed to embody the tranquility of life.
On the third night of their marriage, Yinzhen only slept with his wife for one night. He knew that he would be accompanying her on her homecoming the next day, and if he went too far, he might upset her.
Besides, if his wife goes to his in-laws' house tomorrow and returns looking listless, he's afraid the Tong family will hate him for it.
After all, he knew all too well how protective the Tong family was of their youngest daughter-in-law.
When it was time for bed that night, Tong Cheng'er was surprised to see Yinzhen so obedient. Yinzhen saw through her thoughts and found it amusing. He deliberately said, "What, if you can't sleep, shall we do something else?"
Tong Cheng'er was so frightened that she quickly shook her head. Although she would feel good when she had sex with a man, she was having a hard time after two days in a row!
It's good to rest for the night.
"I'm sleepy, I should go to sleep!"
After saying that, she buried her head under the covers and obediently closed her eyes.
Yinzhen chuckled as he looked at her, then pulled Tong Cheng'er into his arms, holding his little princess, and closed his eyes.
Tong Cheng'er leaned against Yinzhen's chest and suddenly felt extremely safe. She originally wanted to struggle a little, but she was somewhat greedy for this feeling of security and unknowingly fell asleep.
The two lay in bed, embracing each other, and slept soundly through the night.
Perhaps because she felt too at ease, Tong Cheng'er slept very soundly and woke up exceptionally refreshed the next day.
When she woke up, she found that Yinzhen was already awake and looking at her.
Tong Cheng'er suddenly realized something: in the three days since their marriage, he was always the first to wake up every morning, and he was always there when she woke up.
His actions, though seemingly insignificant, made her feel incredibly secure, like the sense of security a child feels in their mother's arms—unrestrained and without fear of anything happening outside.
Seeing that she was awake, Yinzhen asked, "Do you want to get up?"
Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Get up!"
Today is her homecoming, and she wants to go back early.
Yinzhen spoke up and called people in to help him wash up.
After having breakfast, the two instructed their servants to load the prepared return gifts onto the carriage, and then set off for the Tong residence.
The two got up early, arriving at the Tong residence around the time when most families would be having breakfast. But what happened? They arrived early, but the people in the Tong residence got up even earlier.
As soon as Tong Cheng'er stepped off the carriage, she saw the gatekeeper greet her with a bright smile, saying, "This servant greets the Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess."
Yinzhen didn't speak, so Tong Cheng'er quickly said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess."
The servant continued, "Master and Madam sent someone early this morning to instruct me to wait patiently for the Fourth Prince and you to arrive."
Tong Cheng'er didn't know that the Tong family ate breakfast later than ordinary families, so she never expected that her mother would look forward to her visit so much.
Without needing a servant to lead the way, Tong Cheng'er went directly to Shumulu's courtyard.
When Shumulu heard that her daughter had returned, her face lit up with a smile: "Please come in quickly."
After saying that, she got up.
The sons and daughters-in-law in the room also got up, and Al-Hatu, not wanting to remain seated, also got up.
Tong Cheng'er entered, followed by Yinzhen.
Just as Shumulu and the others were about to pay their respects, Tong Cheng'er quickly went over to help her mother: "Father, Mother, what are you doing? Making you pay your respects to your daughter is too much for me."
Yinzhen then said, "What the princess says is true. Father-in-law and mother-in-law need not be so polite."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince had spoken, Alhatu and Shumulushi no longer insisted on bowing.
After everyone was seated, Lady Shumulu began to speak to Yinzhen. Although she wanted to talk to her daughter more, she couldn't neglect her son-in-law with her there.
After exchanging pleasantries with Shumulu for a while, Yinzhen was pulled away by several of his brothers-in-law from the Tong family to the study to discuss literature.
As soon as Yinzhen left, Shumulu immediately said to her daughter, "My dear, come here quickly and let your mother take a look."
Tong Cheng'er got up and snuggled into Shumulu's arms. Although she had only been away from home for three days, Tong Cheng'er felt as if she had been in another world.
Shumulu looked her over carefully, then asked, "How does the Fourth Prince treat you?"
In fact, from the series of behaviors of the Fourth Prince after he came in, it can be seen that the Fourth Prince is very good to his daughter, but she always wants to hear her daughter say it herself.
Tong Cheng'er nodded with a smile: "He treats me very well."
Shumulu asked her again, "Did no one make things difficult for you when you went to the palace to pay your respects?"
This really put her in a difficult position.
Tong Cheng'er felt that she hadn't suffered any losses, so she told him about what happened in the palace.
After hearing this, Shumulu's gaze towards her daughter became somewhat strange.
Tong Cheng'er felt uneasy under his gaze: "Mother, please don't look at me like that! It's scary."
Shumulu said, "I never knew my daughter had this ability. How come I never noticed it before!"
She truly didn't know her daughter had such ability, able to silence a concubine. She used to think her daughter was just too lazy, but now it seems that although she's lazy, she's quite clever.
