Fourth Master straightened up and asked, "Why don't you go outside? What are you doing guarding this place?"
Li Chenjiao had only been awake for a short while. She said she was doing needlework, but she was just picking out patterns from the ones the maid had made. It didn't strain her eyes. She looked at the Fourth Master and asked, "Are you worried that Master will wake up and look for someone?"
Actually, it was just because she had just woken up and her legs were a little numb, so she picked up the decorative items on the table to pass the time.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Li Chenjiao's words, Fourth Master suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.
Seeing this, Li Chenjiao fell silent, so that Fourth Master could think quietly.
A moment later, Fourth Master suddenly tapped on the table.
Yes, during the days the Crown Prince was ill, he had no female relatives to serve him. He didn't see either his concubines or the maids who accompanied him on this trip.

After they both took a bath at night, Li Chenjiao finally felt refreshed and comfortable. The fatigue seemed to surge up after the bath and quickly spread to her limbs.
The Fourth Prince had barely gotten into bed when Li Chenjiao, who was sleeping inside, seemed to have already fallen asleep, muttering something before she drifted off.
It seems they're saying they'll go pick out some new and interesting things to bring back to the manor tomorrow as a belated birthday gift for the eldest prince and the eldest princess.
The Fourth Prince was momentarily stunned. If Li Chenjiao hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten the birthdays of the First Prince and the First Princess.
