When Tong Xuewen calmed down, he was already dressed in a red robe and sitting on a horse. Next was the part where the newly appointed scholars would parade through the streets together.
After having breakfast, Tong Cheng'er informed Shu Mulu that she had made an appointment with Shu Yu to go to the restaurant to watch her second brother parade through the streets.
Upon hearing this, Shumulu originally intended to go and see as well, but considering that her future second daughter-in-law would also be present, she feared that her presence might make her feel uncomfortable, so she let Tong Cheng'er go by herself.
When Tong Cheng'er arrived at the restaurant, Shu Yu was already sitting there waiting.
As soon as Tong Cheng'er entered the private room, she jokingly said with a smile, "Sister Shuyu, you've arrived so early! Are you afraid of missing Second Brother?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu's face instantly turned bright red, making her look incredibly cute.
Tong Cheng'er thought to herself, "Since my second sister-in-law is so easily embarrassed, my second brother will probably have a lot of fun with her in the future."
"That's not true, don't talk nonsense."
Although it was meant to be words of embarrassment and anger, the way Shu Yu said them carried an inexplicable air of coquettishness and shyness, making them completely devoid of any intimidating power.
Tong Cheng'er nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense."
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu gave her a reproachful look, which sent a jolt through Tong Cheng'er's heart. She thought to herself, "Second brother is truly blessed. Second sister-in-law's gaze is something even a girl like me finds hard to resist."
Unfortunately, she wasn't a boy, so she couldn't experience a deeper level of joy.
This time, the restaurant they were in was not Wangyuelou, which made Tong Cheng'er very happy. It's no wonder she felt that way; Wangyuelou was truly eerie to her. Besides, Wangyuelou was not on the route of the newly appointed scholars' parade.
She avoids going to places that clash with her personality if possible.
Because they arrived early, the two chatted in the private room, talking about clothes and jewelry, and the time passed quickly. However, they did use up some tea. Before they could hear any news about the parade, Tong Cheng'er's stomach started to rumble.
"Sister, please sit for a while. I need to use the restroom."
Tong Cheng'er said something and then left the private room.
After leaving the restaurant's restroom, Tong Cheng'er felt particularly refreshed. After washing her hands, she squinted and was about to let out a sigh when she bumped into someone because she didn't see where she was going.
Before Tong Cheng'er could even see whether the person she bumped into was male or female, she immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't see where I was going."
Yinzhen suppressed his smile and said seriously, "It's nothing."
Tong Cheng'er frowned. The voice sounded familiar. Then she looked up at the person she had bumped into, and it was indeed someone she knew.
It's the Fourth Prince.
Tong Cheng'er quickly got out of Yinzhen's arms. Yinzhen felt a little disappointed as the soft touch in his arms disappeared.
The touch of the opposite sex is definitely different.
"This servant greets the Fourth Prince and pays respects to him."
"Don't be so polite when you're out. Get up."
"Thank you, Fourth Prince."
"I bumped into the Fourth Prince just now. It was my fault. I hope the Fourth Prince will forgive me."
"I told you, it's nothing, you're too kind."
"Fourth Prince, you are truly a magnanimous man. I imagine you must still have things to attend to, so I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave."
After saying that, Tong Cheng'er left immediately.
As Yinzhen watched the hurried figure leave, he couldn't help but smile.
Su Peisheng, who was watching from the side, was extremely surprised.
Su Peisheng saw it all. Just now, his master could have avoided Tong Gege, but he deliberately didn't. He even went so far as to get close to Tong Gege. His master did it on purpose.
He only knew that his master treated Tong Gege specially, but he never expected it to be this special, and that she would even have ulterior motives.
Thinking about the daily routine of Princess Tong, which was regularly delivered to his master's desk, Su Peisheng thought that Princess Tong was the next batch of imperial concubines, and if nothing unexpected happened, this Princess Tong might become his mistress in the future.
Yinzhen's smile vanished in an instant, disappearing so quickly that Su Peisheng thought he was seeing things.
"Master, the private room has been made available."
Yinzhen nodded: "Yes, let's go!"
As he walked, Yinzhen thought to himself, "Sure enough, the two of them just bumped into each other, but no images appeared before my eyes. Tong Cheng'er is indeed a special person."
Yinzhen was happy but also a little disappointed, while Tong Cheng'er was completely unhappy. She felt something was strange, as if there was some special magnetic field between her and the Fourth Prince, and they always seemed to meet.
The two met several times in a short period of time.
Tong Cheng'er avoided the princes like the plague, and didn't even go to Wangyue Tower today. She thought she definitely wouldn't run into him, but how could she still run into him! It's strange, too strange.
Tong Cheng'er didn't believe in ghosts or gods, not even after she had traveled through time. But such a strange thing really scared her. She had only gone out a few times, but she encountered the Fourth Prince almost every time. She didn't think she was destined to meet the Fourth Prince, but she felt that he was her nemesis.
Seeing Tong Cheng'er's flustered appearance when she came in, Ru Lan quickly asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
Tong Cheng'er shook her head, not intending to talk about her encounter with the Fourth Prince, and said, "Nothing much, I'm just afraid I won't make it in time."
Rulan: "It'll probably be a while! Princess, there's no need to rush."
Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Mm"
After Tong Cheng'er sat down, she chatted with Shu Yu casually. After a while, they heard a series of sounds coming from the street below the restaurant.
They've arrived.
"Rulan, quickly open the window."
"Yes, Princess."
Ru Lan walked quickly over, opened the window, and saw a procession of honor approaching from the street in the distance. The people in the private room glanced over and saw that the one leading the procession, sitting on a tall horse, was Tong Xuewen.
"Princess, look! That's Second Master at the very front! Did he become the top scholar in the imperial examination?"
