After hearing what Fourth Master said, Lanqin was deeply moved.

Before she came to this place, she had always thought that the harem was a filthy and insincere place.

But now he feels that his thinking was wrong. No matter where you are, no matter what kind of place you are, there will always be sincerity and true feelings.

Just like the servants around her, the highest-ranking among them was the emperor.

She never expected that the Fourth Prince would be so sincere, because as the ruler of the world, he shouldn't have spent so much time on matters of the heart. But she never expected that the Fourth Prince would be willing to bear the world's infamy for her sake.

However, Lanqin also had her own sorrows. Originally, she believed in monogamy, but now she had become a concubine. How could she not want to be the empress? But she told herself that she couldn't be so selfish. She also had to think about the Fourth Prince. He also had many things he didn't want to do.

Lanqin was deeply moved. Every word the Fourth Master said to her touched upon her deepest sorrow. She knew all too well that the Fourth Master was saying this to let her know that he understood the pain in her heart.

Lanqin also wanted to receive the homage of all the officials with the Fourth Prince, to appear in public with him, and to personally see off her children when they got married.

But now, just because she is a concubine, she can't even do this, while sending her children to marriage is a right that only the empress has.

Lanqin was deeply moved. As long as she and the Fourth Prince were of one mind, she looked up at him. He had been busy with official duties lately and had lost a lot of weight. His once handsome face was now thin and gaunt, and he looked quite haggard.

She felt sorry for him and reached out her fingers to stroke Fourth Master's eyebrows, nose, and chin.

"Your Majesty, you've lost weight. You should take better care of your health. If you want to make me happy, you should learn to take good care of yourself," Lanqin said with concern.

"You, I was originally talking about making you empress, but you kept bringing up other things." The Fourth Prince tapped Lanqin's nose and smiled indulgently.

Lanqin lowered her head and threw herself into Yinzhen's arms.

"Actually, I don't care about so many formalities. As long as Your Majesty's heart is with me, I am already satisfied. If Your Majesty were to depose me, it would probably cause even more controversy. I don't want Your Majesty's decision to be so controversial, so let's just maintain the status quo," Lanqin said.

“You always think only of me, but I am the emperor. When have I ever needed a little woman like you to say so much? You just need to hide in my arms. It’s time for you to start thinking about yourself!” the Fourth Prince said.

In fact, the Fourth Master was also very moved after hearing Lanqin's words.

Of the three thousand beauties in the imperial harem, how many truly regarded the emperor as their husband? Most were merely flattering him for power, fulfilling their duties as subjects, forgetting that the emperor should be their husband.

However, Lanqin was willing to give up the position of Empress for her own sake. She made such a big compromise just to avoid being blamed by the court officials.

What an idiot!

Thinking about this, Fourth Master felt that he should treat Lanqin even better in the future. In his heart, Lanqin was his only true wife. Although their titles were different, in Fourth Master's heart, he always regarded Lanqin as his wife.

It was true before, it is true now, and it will be even more so in the future.

Thinking of this, Fourth Master hugged Lanqin tightly.
