Furthermore, the various difficulties that Consort De encountered in the dream suggest that she was indeed a ruthless person.
Whether Consort De knew or not, Song Yuerong was a palace maid from Yonghe Palace. Even if Consort De was unaware, the fact that the palace maid who served her son was so confused shows that she didn't care at all. Otherwise, how could such a foolish thing have happened?
Ultimately, Yinzhen was utterly disappointed in Consort De.
Yinzhen suppressed the nausea in his heart and began to think about what to do. There was no way he could sleep with Song Yuerong, not even if you killed him. But he couldn't say it openly, otherwise not only would Consort De and Yonghe Palace suffer, but he would also suffer.
He didn't want to be pointed at and gossiped about with the halo of being cuckolded; he had a sense of shame and couldn't be that thick-skinned.
As for Song Yuerong, now that she's with the Fourth Prince, she'll just have to wait and see. She's disgusting him like this; does she really think he's easy to fool?
Because he was thinking too much and was truly disgusted, Yinzhen didn't sleep a wink all night and had dark circles under his eyes the next day.
Su Peisheng, serving Yinzhen, couldn't help but overthink things. Last night, his master hadn't called for water, and Song Yuerong had been taken there fully dressed, but looking at his master's dark circles, it really seemed like he had done something wrong last night.
Su Peisheng pondered this in his heart, but didn't show anything on his face.
Unlike women, men can't cover up dark circles with makeup, so Yinzhen went to the Imperial Study with those two big dark circles under his eyes.
The princes lived in the same neighborhood, so they knew almost everything that happened in each place. Not long ago, the Fifth Prince was given two pretty palace maids by Consort Yi, and he was very happy for a few days. Having just been with women, the Fifth Prince was full of spring fever and his face was rosy. Naturally, he was teased quite a bit these days.
Yesterday, Consort De sent a palace maid to the Fourth Prince's residence in a grand manner, and today he came with dark circles under his eyes, making it hard not to suspect anything.
In particular, the Third Prince was a man who couldn't keep his mouth shut. Although he wrote well, he considered himself a romantic scholar and loved the idea of having beautiful women by his side. As a result, Yinzhen couldn't escape his advances.
The Third Prince immediately said, "Look at Fourth Brother's appearance, he must have had a short and unpleasant night last night. Those dark circles under his eyes suggest that the person Consort De gave him is quite to Fourth Brother's liking!"
Yinzhen really didn't like the Third Prince's mouth, but he couldn't really find an explanation for his dark circles.
He said coldly, "It can't compare to Third Brother's nightly revelry."
The Third Prince clicked his tongue twice, then said, "It's just saying a few words of truth, why are you getting so angry! How boring."
