"This servant, this servant is afraid that I am not worthy of Master!" Que'er was finally moved. She had indeed hoped to climb into the Fourth Master's bed and become one of the many masters in the inner quarters, but the Fourth Master had never given her a second glance.

"Hehe, that's right! Look, this face is blooming like a beautiful flower. It would be such a pity if it withered away without anyone to appreciate it." Madam Li murmured, "Que'er, after that person is eliminated, I will recommend you to the Fourth Prince. Once you become a princess, if I can replace you and become the head of the main courtyard, it wouldn't be impossible for me to grant you a concubine position!"

"Thank you, Madam. I will do my best to share your burdens! Madam and I are like two small boats that are connected together. We can never be separated again. Please rest assured, Madam!" How could Que'er not understand Li Shi's intention? She was afraid that one day she would expose everything she had done to the Fourth Prince, so she was using this to lure her in and make her serve her forever.

"Very good, you understand this principle, and I am relieved. Tomorrow, go and tell your father that we must find a suitable person!" Madam Li instructed.

Meanwhile, Fourth Master was riding a horse with Lanqin on the official road, unaware that a conspiracy was brewing in his own backyard. By the time he discovered it, it was too late.

"Master, look! That cloud is so beautiful! It looks like a dog one minute and a house the next!" Lanqin refused to sit in the carriage with Holland or Yanyu. She would rather endure the scorching sun than waste this rare pleasure of riding a horse.

"Aren't you afraid of getting a tan? You won't be pretty if you get a tan!" Fourth Master joked.

"Haven't you heard of black pearls? They're not necessarily inferior to white pearls!" Basketball said dismissively.

"But I still prefer white pearls!" Fourth Master said with a mischievous smile.

"Then please turn around and walk 150 meters. There is a white pearl in the red carriage. Please go quickly!" Lanqin said, puffing out her cheeks. She was referring to Yan Yu's carriage.

"Little brat, you dare to chase me away now? Well, I'm really leaving now, and you'll regret it!" Fourth Master suddenly pulled on the reins, intending to turn around.

"Hmph, then I'll go keep my sister company and discuss some famous paintings and calligraphic works with the Emperor!" Lanqin also made a move to leave. She was referring to the fact that Kangxi had received several more genuine works presented by his officials.

"Doctor Wang is giving the Emperor acupuncture. Don't disturb him now, or I won't be able to protect you. You might be punished by the Emperor." The Fourth Prince deliberately put on a scared expression, looking like he really wanted to give him a beating.

"Then I'll ride the horse myself for a while, please do as you please, Master!" Lanqin deliberately turned her head away from Fourth Master. She believed in herself; Yan Yu had always been just a decoration. Since they came out together, Fourth Master had spent most of his time with Lanqin.

"You little devil, I really spoil you rotten!" Fourth Master raised his whip and smacked Lanqin's horse's rump a few times. The white horse galloped forward like a madman.

"Grab it, grab it! Come save me, Master!" Lanqin sat on the white horse, bouncing from side to side, and for a moment she was a little out of control.

"Qin'er, clench your ribs tightly, lie prone on the horse, be careful not to crash into a tree!" Fourth Master suddenly kicked the horse's belly and chased after it.

"My lord, I can't hold on much longer." Lanqin pulled the reins back desperately, but the horse wouldn't listen to her. Instead, it lay prostrate on the horse, too frightened to utter a sound.
