While the two children in the study were being affectionate in the pavilion, Kangxi called them out. The two children stood obediently in the pavilion, heads bowed, listening to Kangxi's reprimand.
Outside the pavilion, the early summer breeze blows, and the iceberg guarding the corner of the pavilion has slowly begun to melt. Osmanthus petals are still on it, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of osmanthus.
"Fourth Prince, how old are you? Is the study a place for you two to be so affectionate? In the mansion, I won't interfere with your behavior, but outside, you represent the face of the royal family. Such intimacy is not allowed." Kangxi took the lead in criticizing her, and Consort Tong simply pursed her lips in response.
"Father Emperor is the same way. You just listen with one ear and let it go without the other," Yin said directly to Qingyan using his telepathic pouch.
Ugh!
Was Yin a master of sabotage?
"What are you muttering to yourself? Am I wrong?" Kangxi was still holding a fishing rod in his right hand.
To the right of the pavilion, Yin had a pond dug, filled with various kinds of fish, which he would come to fish when he was in a bad mood.
"No!" Yin pretended to be listening attentively, but inwardly he was cursing.
Consort Tong laughed unkindly. Yin had been dealt with by these kinds of things many times in the past. He thought that husband and wife should be this intimate. From childhood, he had been influenced by Kangxi and Consort Tong, so of course he thought these things were only natural.
After he got married, Kangxi said that these things were not allowed. Isn't that a contradiction?
"Father, do you do everything yourself?" Yin asked in return.
Pfft!
Fei Yanggu was fishing to the right of Kangxi when he heard Yin's words. He immediately changed his posture when he picked up his teacup to drink.
"Haha!" Fei Yanggu burst into laughter after Consort Tong laughed. If it weren't for Kangxi's actions influencing Yinzhen, such a situation wouldn't have occurred.
At the mansion, Yinzhi was very well-behaved and had never been in such a situation before.
"Alright, stop laughing!" Kangxi was so embarrassed and angry that even Consort Tong didn't give him any face and burst out laughing.
"Your Majesty, there are still children here. Why do you have to dwell on this?" Consort Tong glanced at the twins and asked with a hint of exasperation.
Emperor Kangxi fell silent, determined to appear as a loving father in front of the twins.
"He's only getting worse at pretending!" Yin thought to himself.
"You two come fishing, Fei Yanggu, come with me to the study for a game of cards!" Kangxi rarely had a moment to relax, so of course he wanted to unwind.
Yin and Qingyan took over the two's fishing rods, sat down in chairs, and continued fishing.
"Little darling, I noticed that the layouts of all the Yue Lai Inns seem pretty much the same?" Consort Tong was very curious. In each courtyard, there was a place for fishing.
"Hehe, no, this courtyard is reserved for me. No one else can stay here except me," Qingyan quickly explained.
During his stay at the Yuelai Inn, Tong Gui personally explored the place and found that, just as Qing Yan had said, each courtyard was different from this one, and every arrangement was made according to royal standards.
"Therefore, the two or three courtyards around here are usually closed to prevent anyone from coming to keep an eye on things and using them to scout out the location!" Qingyan was particularly strict about this requirement, and if any manager dared to disobey, he would make them leave immediately.
"These safety measures are good, and there won't be any issues with not being able to sleep in a different place," Consort Tong praised, finding Shu Yun's actions completely understandable.
As soon as she finished speaking, Consort Tong turned her head to the left and saw two adults and two children sitting on a chair. They held a fishing rod in their right hand and rested their left hand on the armrest. Their bodies were leaning slightly forward, and their eyes were fixed straight ahead, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
"Madam, the two children will be in your care tomorrow." Consort Tong noticed the change in the Jue Luo clan. These past few times, when the Jue Luo clan caused trouble, Lady Ulanara had resolutely refused to help, and even stood in front of Qingyan. Consort Tong was very pleased with this.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself too!" Lady Ulanara said with emotion, "You have to watch the two little princes grow up."
Of the two, Consort Jue Luo and Consort Tong, Consort Tong's health was slightly weaker. If she wasn't careful during seasonal changes, she might catch a cold.
“Yes, who says otherwise? We still need to see Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen get married.” Consort Tong nodded in agreement.
Jue Luo smiled slightly, looking at the fish swimming freely in the pond, and felt a surge of emotion.
If she hadn't suddenly realized her mistake, she probably wouldn't be sitting here.
"Fourth Prince, are there any members of the Tong family in the military port?" Consort Tong secretly instructed Jue Luo Shi, feeling slightly relieved, and then directly asked Yin.
Yin looked at Consort Tong in astonishment. The Tong family referred to here is only the lineage of Tong Guowei.
"Yes, he is said to be an illegitimate son!" Yin didn't know much about this uncle.
"Is it Tunduo?!" Consort Tong tried hard to recall, and based on the description of Yin, it should be her third brother.
Yin nodded. Qingyan sat to the side, listening to the conversation between the mother and son. Tunduo, in Han language, means justice and uprightness. How could it fall on the head of a concubine's son?
"This man is my third brother, born before Longke Kanduo. Tunduo is rather dull and not favored by Tong Guowei, so he is basically invisible in the mansion. However, he is the one who misses my mafia the most. My second brother values literature, while my third brother values martial arts," Consort Tong explained to Yinzhi.
Everyone knows these secrets of the Tong family. Consort Tong used this as a prelude to let Yinzhi know that Tunduo is a useful person, and it would be a good choice to put him under her command.
"Mother, what is this person's character like?" Yin asked.
Tunduo was nearly ten years younger than Consort Tong. In order to establish a business for his family, he actually took a risk and joined the first batch of the online army.
"Just like his name, when Mafa named the second son, he said that this child was destined for him!" Tong Guolai was the head of the Tong family back then, and among the third generation, only Tunduo was most like him.
"If I bribe him, what will happen to Father Emperor?" Yin glanced at Consort Tong, hoping not to cause her any trouble.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!" Consort Tong smiled, knowing that with proper training, he would definitely become a fierce general.
Yin was relieved. On his way here, Yin had been thinking that when he was alone with Consort Tong, he must ask about Tun Duo.
"Also, remember, don't let Tun Duo write letters to the Tong family," Consort Tong instructed anxiously.
