Yinzhen had abilities that made Kangxi wary, but Kangxi didn't think he had such abilities, so he trusted him completely. His only concern was that if Yinzhen performed too well, it would put the Crown Prince in an awkward position.
Just as Yinzhen had guessed, Kangxi did indeed think that way.
It is clear that Yinzhen truly understood Kangxi's thoughts perfectly.
After getting up, he dressed and washed up. As for Tong Cheng'er's clothes, Yinzhen gave them to her to wear.
Everything was ready. Before dinner, he suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The game last night was great. We'll do it again sometime."
However, the roles might need to be reversed.
Upon hearing this, Tong Cheng'er recalled what had happened the previous night, her face flushed and her voice soft as she said, "W-what are you saying!"
We're all human; if she heard that, wouldn't she lose face?
Yinzhen smiled.
I don't know why, but I just wanted to make her happy. Seeing her face turn red, I suddenly felt really good.
Because he was in a good mood, Yinzhen ate quite a lot for breakfast.
After the meal, Yinzhen remained leisurely.
Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but ask, "Being late is one thing, but you're not planning to go to work today, are you?"
Yinzhen nodded: "Yes, I don't plan to go."
Before Tong Cheng'er woke up in the morning, he had Su Peisheng send someone to the Ministry of Personnel to make the announcement.
As for the Ministry of Personnel, they would probably be overjoyed if he didn't go, since although he was fair in rewarding and punishing, he was indeed strict in managing people, and some lazy people couldn't stand it!
"You seem quite fearless!"
"Yes, they are fearless because they have nothing to fear."
Yinzhen felt there was nothing wrong with this; he still had the right to be fearless, and he should cherish such days.
After finishing this discussion, Yinzhen finally mentioned Mo Chenyu.
Do you still remember Mo Chenyu?
When Tong Cheng'er heard him say a name, she couldn't immediately think of who it was.
Seeing her genuine expression, Yinzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seemed that the little princess really didn't care about Mo Chenyu!
Very good.
"The person with mobility issues that I met a few days ago when I went out."
Tong Cheng'er then remembered that no one had mentioned him these past few days, so she had almost forgotten about him.
"It's him! What's wrong? Did you invite him over?"
Yinzhen nodded: "Really? That's great."
Yinzhen became unhappy again.
"Are you that happy?"
Tong Cheng'er quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just miss my bicycle."
I vehemently refuse to admit that I've fallen for my deep-seated obsession with good looks.
Yinzhen was unhappy, but then he realized that he couldn't stop his little princess from seeing Mo Chenyu, so he said, "There's something I need to tell you first."
"What?"
"The day Mo Chenyu was blocked in the street was actually a carefully planned scheme by him and his ninth brother."
Tong Cheng'er didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
“Mo Chenyu was indeed persecuted by Yang Huaidan, but the Yang family was backed by the Cao family. The old lady of the Cao family was the Emperor’s wet nurse, and the Emperor treated the Cao family very differently. Mo Chenyu found out that his ninth brother had some business dealings with the Cao family, so he went to them, which led to what happened that day.”
Tong Cheng'er was taken aback when she heard this. She really hadn't realized that Mo Chenyu had such "ability". After all, he was good-looking and didn't seem like a complicated person.
However, after learning the truth, Tong Cheng'er felt a mix of emotions.
Yinzhen misunderstood: "What, you don't believe what I said?"
Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "Of course I believe what you say."
One is her husband, with whom she shares a bed, and the other is a stranger she has only met once. It is clear which is more important.
Just like when you're a fan of a celebrity, you might say things like "my brother is the most important person in my heart," but compared to family, family is naturally more important.
Yinzhen was taken aback by her words, somewhat surprised by her decisiveness.
Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?
Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "Of course I'm not afraid. Even if you had no reason to lie to me, I would still believe that you were doing it for my own good. I've been married to you for almost two years now, so I'm not so bad as to not be able to tell right from wrong."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen suddenly realized that he might have been being too petty in his jealousy. It seemed that he held a much heavier place in his little princess's heart than he had imagined.
Later, Tong Cheng'er added, "Of course, if you really intend to harm me, I can't outsmart you, and I'll accept my fate."
She is a bit different from ordinary people because her experiences are more special than those of ordinary people. So what ordinary people value may not be so valued by her. On the contrary, what ordinary people do not value, she values very much.
For example, the occasional jealousy that Yinzhen showed, even if he really framed Mo Chenyu because of it, it wouldn't matter. She would only feel that Yinzhen cared about her, which would make her feel extremely safe.
Sometimes when she calms down and thinks about it, she feels that she is too despicable, even morally corrupt, but she can't help but think that way.
Now, when she thinks back to the words they said when they first got married, she can't bring herself to say them anymore, because she realizes she's fallen for him.
Because she had fallen in love, she craved even more the sense of security, extreme care, and extreme favoritism that Yinzhen could provide—that was what she truly desired.
Sometimes Yinzhen thought she was naive, or at most, that she was more insightful than others. But he didn't know that she also had many dark places in her heart, places that the light couldn't reach, which she didn't want others to see.
However, when facing Yinzhen, Tong Cheng'er had an extremely conflicted feeling. She longed for him to see her bad side and accept her completely, but at the same time, she was afraid that he would run away if he knew.
“I’m not lying to you. Mo Chenyu is quite intelligent. I will keep him in the manor to work. He will do whatever you want him to do. In addition, I want to train him to be an advisor.”
Tong Cheng'er was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
Perhaps he was too lenient with Mo Chenyu!
Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but ask him, "Are you really that confident in Mo Chenyu? He's incredibly handsome. I remember you were even jealous because I glanced at him a few times. Aren't you afraid of me...?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen immediately covered her mouth: "Don't say anything, I'm scared, I'm so scared."
Although the young concubine was his woman, people's hearts are fickle, so how could he not be afraid?
Even if she can't do anything because of her status, can he control her body and her heart?
Tong Cheng'er didn't show anything on her face when she heard this, but she couldn't help feeling happy inside.
Yinzhen released his hand and said, "Sometimes I wish I could keep you in my purse and carry you with me at all times."
Tong Cheng'er was secretly delighted upon hearing this.
"You're just talking nonsense."
"I'm telling the truth."
Yinzhen didn't know when it started, but he had placed the person in front of him at the very tip of his heart, wishing he could be with her all the time. Although he wanted to be with her during the early days of their marriage, it was mostly for pleasure. Now, he had started to be greedy.
Tong Cheng'er smiled.
Just then, Yinzhen suddenly said, "Although I'm afraid, if Ruocheng'er truly has someone else in her heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist, I won't be able to resist..."
Tong Cheng'er asked curiously, "Can't help what?"
Did she kill him because she couldn't help it?
Yinzhen stared at her: "I can't help but tear the person who seduced you to pieces."
