Seeing that her belly was as big as a gong, Fourth Master couldn't bear to scold her. He raised his hand and flicked Lanqin's forehead, gently scolding, "Don't scare me like that again, understand?"

Nianxue and Xicha had already voluntarily left. When these two were throwing a tantrum, it was best to leave quickly to avoid being hit by the typhoon's tail.

"Your Highness doesn't care about me anymore, and I'm heartbroken. I just wanted to scare you and make you nervous." Lanqin simply leaned into the Fourth Master's arms.

"Nonsense, I'm not afraid of hurting you and the baby in your belly." The Fourth Prince's heart softened immediately after hearing what the little princess said. These days, because of Lanqin's pregnancy, he rarely stayed overnight at her place.

"My lord, I just had a nightmare. Luckily, you woke me up in time. Otherwise, that nightmare would have been..." Lanqin said, her smile fading.

Fourth Master held Lanqin in his arms, and gently rubbed her belly with his other hand, as if comforting the child in her womb.

"I see your brow is furrowed so tightly it could trap a mosquito. What nightmare did you have?" Fourth Master said softly.

"My lord, I hope I won't have a difficult childbirth." Lanqin had just dreamt of having a difficult childbirth, unable to deliver her baby. The Fujin and the others were guarding outside the door, preventing the Fourth Prince from entering, but she lay helplessly on the delivery bed, bleeding continuously, and the midwife could do nothing.

Oh dear, there are no C-sections available at this time! What if the baby's umbilical cord is wrapped around its neck, or the baby is breech, or her cervix doesn't dilate and she has a difficult labor?!

Lanqin felt a chill run down her spine at the thought. Her original self was only a fifteen-year-old girl, and she was about to give birth—it was truly unbelievable!

Lanqin couldn't help but raise her small fist and punch the Fourth Master's chest a few times, saying irritably, "You have to stay with me, even when I give birth."

Fourth Master gently rubbed Lanqin's neck and said softly, "Don't worry, I will find you the best midwife. Aunt An will also stay with you. I am a man, and according to the rules, I cannot enter the delivery room."

"Rules, rules, all rules. If I were to be in such pain that I couldn't give birth, wouldn't you come in to see me?" Lanqin knew that Fourth Master always valued rules the most, but she was truly terrified. Just thinking about the scene in her dream was frightening, and Lanqin nestled in Fourth Master's arms, starting to act coquettishly again.

"At that time, Your Highness and Your Highness will stay outside with your wife. Don't worry, everything will be alright. Your Highness will ask Mother for help to have the imperial physicians from the palace deliver your baby. Some of the concubines in the palace have had difficult births, but they all survived safely." The Fourth Prince saw that the little princess was scared, and thinking about it, it made sense. She was only fifteen years old, so it was understandable that she was afraid.

"My lord, Lanqin went to the flower shop today to pick out some hibiscus flowers. One of the young gardeners there seems to have some insights into growing flowers and vegetables. I'd like to ask you to let him come and serve me." Lanqin reached out and fiddled with the ruyi clasp on the Fourth Prince's long robe.

The Fourth Prince looked down at the little princess and thought to himself: This little princess has never had a man before, so this gardener must be quite special.

"My lord, I don't even have a servant in my courtyard. You transferred Uncle Li to work in the front yard. Now I've taken a liking to a servant myself. Please tell the head nanny that he can come and serve me. After I give birth, all the vegetables planted in this courtyard will have to be taken care of by him," Lanqin said, nestled in the Fourth Master's arms.

Fourth Master didn't think it was a big deal, so he naturally agreed.

When Su Peisheng brought Doctor Wu over, our Comrade Lanqin was in the yard with Fourth Master looking at the hibiscus flowers.

The maids were all doing their own things. Lanqin didn't let them serve her. Firstly, she felt there was no need for them, and secondly, she didn't want young and beautiful maids constantly flitting between her and the Fourth Master (it was entirely due to the psychology of a pregnant woman).

During dinner, Lanqin started asking the Fourth Prince for names. Although she knew that little princesses or princes were usually called by their age, she had already decided to give them some nicknames first, since she didn't like her children being called "Prince So-and-so" or "Princess So-and-so".

"Nonsense, the baby hasn't even been born yet, and you're already naming it?" Fourth Master picked up a piece of preserved egg with minced garlic and put it in his bowl.

"How is this nonsense? Right now, when I talk to the child in my belly, I just keep saying 'hi,' 'hi.' Anyone who didn't know better would think I was talking to someone else. If you don't want to name him, I'll choose one myself, and my child will be named after the name I chose," Lanqin said dismissively. The other women all hoped that the Fourth Master would name their children, some even saying they wouldn't name them until after the child was a year old.

Sigh, can't these women even name their own children? They can just call their own children by names that are easy for them to pronounce.

"Alright, let me think about it. We still don't know if the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl." Fourth Master looked at Lanqin with a helpless expression, his eyes seeming to say, "I really don't know what to do with you."

Lanqin looked at the helpless expression on the face of the future, notoriously ruthless Emperor Yongzheng, as he was being forced to name his child—it was just too adorable!

"Take a few men and a few women, I'll pick some," Lanqin said haughtily.

Su Peisheng, standing outside the house, almost stumbled and fell. Other women were eagerly waiting for the Fourth Master to name their children, but this one, hey, she really dared to ask the Master to name several children for her so she could choose them herself?

"Then I'll have to think about it for a few more days, and I'll let you know when I've made up my mind." Fourth Master gave Lanqin a meaningful look, guessing that he was thinking something similar to Su Peisheng.

Meanwhile, after hearing that Lanqin had summoned Doctor Wu, the Fujin's heart pounded wildly. It wasn't until evening that Doctor Wu secretly arrived at the Fujin's courtyard.

"This servant greets the Princess Consort!" Doctor Wu stood in the Princess Consort's main room.

"Wu Liangcai, why did Lady Niu suddenly summon you today? How is she now?" the Fujin asked, holding a teacup entwined with green branches.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Lady Niu is fine. I heard from Su Peisheng that Lady Niu suddenly fainted. However, when I went over, she was already alright," said Doctor Wu.

A hint of impatience flashed across the Princess Consort's brow as she murmured, "Wu Liangcai, remember, you are the one who rose to your current position thanks to my support. If anything happens, you must report to me immediately."

Doctor Wu bowed deeply and nodded repeatedly in agreement before taking his leave.

"Pretentious, she's probably just trying to act cute and patient in front of the master. I never imagined that this Lady Niu would be so seductive, managing to win over the master's heart step by step." The Fujin slammed her teacup onto the small rosewood table and said with disgust.
