Fourth Master looked at Lanqin for a few moments, then said to the slightly awkward crowd, "Qin'er is right. I should go over there with my father-in-law." After saying that, Fourth Master walked to Wuxiha's side, touched her little face, and then touched Xichen's little head.

After the Fourth Prince left, everyone's surprised gazes were all focused on Lanqin, thinking: How could she speak to the Fourth Prince like that? As a concubine, shouldn't she be grateful for the Fourth Prince's favor and serve him with utmost care?

Then, the Fourth Prince followed Lingzhu to the room where he was entertaining guests. Everyone knew that the Fourth Prince had arrived, and they all came forward to pay their respects to him. This was the first time Dachun had seen a prince, and he was naturally both nervous and happy. However, he was also aware of his own status, so he simply followed the others in paying his respects and did not try to get the Fourth Prince's attention.

While the Fourth Prince was chatting with several officials, Da Chun leaned close to Zheng and whispered, "The Fourth Prince isn't as cold-faced as the rumors say!"

Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Whether it's cold or not depends on who you're talking to. My sister is now the concubine of the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince has followed her here. It seems my sister is really lucky."

When Da Chun was in Tonglu, her father mentioned that her paternal uncle's eldest daughter had been given to the Fourth Prince as a concubine, and had recently been promoted to secondary consort. As a result, Ling Zhu's connections in the court and among the people were also growing rapidly.

Da Chun silently followed behind Zheng, keeping a close eye on the guests. After Fourth Master arrived, he unintentionally became the focus of the entire room, with everyone sitting around him.

Da Chun glanced at the Fourth Master and thought to himself: If I can get on his good side, do I have to worry about my future? Everyone takes the imperial examination and then waits for the court to assign them jobs. My knowledge is not in the imperial examination. Whether I can succeed depends on today.

Zheng didn't notice that Da Chun had quietly slipped away behind him. Ling Zhu's entire attention was focused on the Fourth Master; how could he possibly notice a mere Da Chun?

Furthermore, Da Chun didn't actually go to do anything. He simply went back to his room in Lingzhu Mansion to get something, and then made a special trip to the room where the servants stayed.

"Young Master Dachun, what brings you here?" A servant recognized him. Dachun also recognized the man; he was Lingzhu's tea server.

"My uncle asked me to brew the tea, so you can leave it to me," Da Chun said, making up a story. He naturally had some Yunwu Xiang tea from Tonglu in his hand, intending to present the Fourth Prince with a cup of tea that he had brewed himself, hoping it would leave a good impression.

The servant hesitated incredulously. Seeing that he seemed not to believe him, Da Chun deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You little servant, you're so ignorant. I'm just here to brew some tea, what are you dawdling about? Wouldn't it be better to let you rest for a while?"

The servant thought it made sense; if the young master wanted to make tea, then let him. So he led Dachun to their "tea room".

"Young Master, this is freshly boiled water, and here are some tea leaves, you..." The servant was about to say something when he was startled by Da Chun's actions.

Da Chun then took out a strange little teapot and teacups, all made of purple clay. The servant didn't recognize them. He heard Da Chun say to him, "You can go out now. I'll call you to serve tea later. My tea-making skills are not something you need to teach me."

The servant gave a puzzled "Oh," and then dared not disturb Dachun any longer.

As for Lingzhu, after chatting with several officials for a while, he noticed that the tea in the cups was running low. He quickly instructed the servants beside him to serve more tea.

The tea was finally served, but when Lingzhu saw that the person serving the tea was none other than Dachun, he was naturally quite surprised. However, he couldn't lose his composure in front of the Fourth Master, so he treated him as a servant serving tea. Only when Dachun brought the tea to the Fourth Master did he realize that the teacups on the tray didn't seem to be the ones he usually used. They were much smaller.

When everyone saw him carrying a tea tray out, they were already a little puzzled. Now that he took the initiative to bring the tea to the Fourth Master, they all had some thoughts: Lingzhu said that this young man was a distant cousin of his, so how come he is now doing the work of a servant? This is really quite interesting.

When Lingzhu saw Dachun bring the tray to him, he gave him a meaningful look, but Dachun seemed not to notice and said, "Uncle, please have some tea."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, even the Fourth Master became a little curious.

After everyone had taken their tea, Da Chun said, "I originally came to pay my respects to my uncle for the New Year, but I didn't expect to meet the Fourth Prince here, as well as all of you seniors. I am extremely honored, so I offer this humble skill to bring a smile to the Fourth Prince's face. Please have some tea. This tea is a specialty of Tonglu, called 'Cloud and Mist'. After drinking this tea, one feels as if they are in a sea of ​​mountain mist and clouds, which makes one feel infinitely comfortable and open-minded."

Fourth Master smiled slightly, then took the first sip of his teacup. Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Da Chun still looked at Fourth Master with a slight nervousness, but seeing a smile gradually appear on his cold face, he felt relieved. After drinking their tea, the others also showed some appreciation.

"Indeed, this tea tastes truly extraordinary. I feel as if I'm in a cloud of mist, the taste is so refreshing, like being in the morning fog. Also, how did you brew this tea?" The Fourth Prince couldn't help but ask, feeling that this was the best tea he had ever tasted recently.

"Reporting to Fourth Prince, this tea was prepared by me using a special set of tea utensils, requiring three different temperatures of water. It cannot be explained in just a few words. If Fourth Prince is interested, I will have someone demonstrate it for you at a later time," Da Chun said respectfully.

Lingzhu now understood. Far from blaming Dachun, he felt a surge of admiration. This boy was quite clever to have attracted the Fourth Prince's attention in his own territory without suffering any harm. Sigh, why weren't there any such quick-witted and clever children among his own?

The Fourth Prince smiled and nodded, then continued drinking the tea in his cup. Seeing that the Fourth Prince said it was good, everyone else also praised it.

Meanwhile, Lanqin was playing with two children. Several little girls sat together chattering away, while the two Anjia women talked about their brother-in-law. It was a peaceful and quiet place.

When lunch was finally ready, Lingzhu sent someone to call them to the main hall for their meal. Only then did Lanqin hand the child to the wet nurse, instructing them to take the child to drink milk, before letting Nianxue help her change her clothes.
