Chapter 3691 Five Animal Exercises

At this moment in the Yuanmingyuan, since the arrival of the Taoist priest and the Thirteenth Prince's wife, the Fourth Prince's life has become more interesting than before, and his recuperation has become more colorful.

Inside the Yuanmingyuan Garden, the Fourth Prince was following a Taoist priest in performing a strange set of animal exercises. He would sometimes roar like a tiger, sometimes hop on one leg like a monkey, and sometimes flap his wings like a crane.

Since a Taoist priest started guiding Fourth Master in health preservation, Lanqin no longer needed to come up with new ways to amuse him. As a result, Lanqin, now with some free time, sat with Cui Niang and watched Fourth Master learn exercises to strengthen his body.

Sitting to the side, Cui Niang was used to the Fourth Prince's imposing manner even when he wasn't angry. But seeing him making such a comical gesture today, she disregarded the distinction between superiors and inferiors and couldn't help but laugh as she said to Lan Qin beside her, "Your Majesty is really quite comical like this."

Seeing Cui Niang laugh like that, Lan Qin couldn't help but tease her, "You know, if the Emperor sees you making fun of him like this and blames you, I won't help you."

"Your Majesty, this old servant knows he was wrong. You must protect this old servant!" Upon hearing this, Cui Niang quickly begged Lan Qin, who was smiling beside her.

"However, there must be some intricacies to this exercise, Taoist Master. Can it really strengthen the body like this?" Cui Niang asked, puzzled, as she watched the Taoist Master and Fourth Master's comical movements.

Upon hearing this, Lanqin said, "Actually, this exercise was created by Hua Tuo, a famous physician in the Three Kingdoms period. It was passed down from later generations. It is a kind of exercise that imitates five animals and their expressions. It is very beneficial for strengthening the body and is called 'Five Animal Exercise'."

Although the Five Animal Exercises are famous, they are rarely circulated in the world today. Therefore, Cui Niang certainly did not know what the 'Five Animal Exercises' were, but Lan Qin knew that doing this set of exercises could indeed strengthen the body.

Moreover, even in modern times, the "Five Animal Exercises" are very famous and are highly sought after by people who like health preservation.

However, although Fourth Master, who was learning from the side, also found the Five Animal Exercises rather comical and was somewhat unwilling, he also knew that the Five Animal Exercises were very beneficial to his health. Moreover, Lanqin was watching from the side, so he could not be negligent. Therefore, Fourth Master watched the Taoist priest perform the exercises very seriously.

After all, if he were to slack off in the slightest, Lanqin would probably be heartbroken and tearful, worrying about him. The Fourth Prince, who was afraid of seeing Lanqin's tears, became even more serious.

Besides, the Fourth Master greatly admired the Taoist priest and felt that he must have a lot of skills, because Hua Tuo's set of exercises had not been circulated in the market, but unexpectedly this Taoist priest who lived in seclusion in the mountains knew about it and had a deep understanding of its essence.

Seeing how serious Fourth Master was, Lanqin felt very gratified. If he continued to study at this pace, Fourth Master's backache and shoulder pain would surely get better, and his spirits would also improve.

After a while, once the Fourth Prince gets used to this leisurely life of "eating, drinking, and having fun," she can persuade him to put aside his duties in court and let Hongli take over. In this way, the Fourth Prince's headaches may be cured, and she will no longer need to worry about his health, allowing him to live a few more years.

Thinking of this, Lanqin made up her mind that she must change the fate of the Fourth Master. She prayed silently that through her efforts, the course of history could be changed, even if it was just to live a few more days.
