Lanqin, who was admiring the plum blossoms, heard familiar footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that the Fourth Prince had walked up behind her and was looking at her with a doting expression from two steps away.

Seeing the smile on Fourth Master's face, Lanqin knew that she had been captivated by the early plum blossoms in the garden and had left Fourth Master behind to come in. She couldn't help but feel a little shy.

Lanqin lowered her head, revealing a rare shyness, walked up to the Fourth Prince, and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Your Majesty, look how beautiful this place is, completely different from the Imperial Garden in the palace."

"Yes, I hope you like it." Fourth Master raised his hand, patted Lanqin's hand, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you think the plum blossoms in this courtyard are beautiful?" Lanqin asked, her face flushing slightly as the Fourth Prince looked at her. She pointed to the plum blossoms around her.

"It is beautiful, but in my heart, the beauty of this garden in spring is not even a fraction as great as you."

Hearing the Fourth Prince's words, Lanqin was even more delighted and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is already so old, yet you still say such things. You are truly shameless."

Fourth Master could tell that Lanqin was shy, so he couldn't help but laugh. He then walked to the side, picked a few plum blossoms, and carefully tucked them behind Lanqin's ear.

Lanqin first touched the plum blossom on her head, shook her head shyly and said, "I am old now, and I no longer have the beauty of my youth. Now I look old instead."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince looked at Lanqin with a serious expression and said, "In my eyes, you are still that woman who speaks rudely."

Hearing Fourth Master's words, Lanqin felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Suddenly, she felt a strong urge to tell Fourth Master the secret she had been hiding in her heart.

Over the years, when she first arrived here, she felt very uncomfortable, but fortunately, she met him, the man who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

Although he was the emperor of a country with three thousand concubines, her importance in his heart never diminished. Now they are both old, but the Fourth Prince's love for her has never lessened with the passage of time.

Fourth Master noticed that Lanqin's expression was somewhat strange, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. He immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

Lanqin opened her mouth to think, but then hesitated for a moment, afraid of scaring the Fourth Master. In the end, she gave up and the words that were on the tip of her tongue remained unspoken.

"It's nothing, I was just moved by Your Majesty's words." Lanqin reached out and took the Fourth Prince's hand, smiling as she spoke.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, getting into her eyes. Lanqin's eyes were wet with tears, probably from sand. Without hesitation, Lanqin raised her hand to rub her eyes.

Seeing Lanqin like this, Fourth Master grabbed Lanqin's hand that was about to rub her eyes, then reached out and cupped Lanqin's face, gently blowing on her eyes.

The two stood in the garden, a picturesque scene, a perfect couple under the red plum tree.

As the Fourth Prince blew the sand out of Lanqin's eyes, he had just put his hand down when Lanqin reached out and gently hugged his waist, saying with some sadness and reluctance, "Your Majesty, please don't leave me. Your Majesty, you must always stay with me."

Seeing Lanqin's emotional state, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but embrace her tenderly, patting her back gently. He whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I really won't let you go easily. I will stay with you until the day I die."
