Li Chenjiao personally served Fourth Master a cup of plum drink. Her beautiful face was radiant with a smile. Fourth Master didn't even know how he accepted the cup of plum drink. Only after the coolness passed down his throat and the sweet and sour taste lingered on his lips and teeth did he realize that he had already taken two or three sips.
Li Chenjiao was also sipping her plum drink. She noticed the Fourth Master's gaze, looked up at him, and smiled again.
Fourth Master's chest swelled again. He lowered his head like a young boy and haphazardly drank two sips of plum drink.
What he can't stand the most right now is Li Chenjiao smiling at him.
He took two more sips of plum drink, the coolness seeping into his lips and teeth once more, but this coolness could not extinguish the fire in his chest.
Li Chenjiao had already finished a cup of plum drink, treating it as a way to aid digestion after a meal.
But she then added another half cup of plum drink to her cup.
She stood up and bowed to the Fourth Prince, saying, "I won't say anything more. I trust you, Your Highness, and I only hope that you will return soon."
For the Fourth Master, this was indeed a crucial moment.
This was indeed the first time Fourth Master had led troops. It would be a lie to say that he was overwhelmed with emotion. He hadn't slept well in the main courtyard last night, and you could even see the dark circles under his eyes.
Fourth Master also stood up and returned the toast to Li Chenjiao.
"Wait for Master to come back."
When their wine glasses clinked together, their smiling eyes seemed to hold a tender affection.
Li Chenjiao proudly tilted her head back, raised her wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then, imitating the man, she inverted the wine cup and let a few drops of clear liquid drip down.
Li Chenjiao let out an embarrassed "Oh dear," her technique not very good.
Fourth Master also drank it all in one gulp. He didn't turn the wine cup upside down, but took the wine cup from Li Chenjiao's hand, put it back on the table, and poured another cup for Li Chenjiao: "You're just greedy, drink more."
Fourth Master was no longer saddened; he wasn't nervous, but rather excited.
Fourth Master's excitement lasted until night.
Li Chenjiao initially thought that the Fourth Master had drunk too much, but if the Fourth Master had drunk too much, he probably wouldn't have had so much energy.
Her bare shoulders, exposed even in the warmth of April, sent shivers down her spine as the fine downy hairs on her exposed skin rippled through her body, silencing her soft moans.
As the battle raged on, the Fourth Master embraced the swaying body, finally kissing her brows and eyes—the look in his beloved's eyes.
"If there's anything, go to the front yard to look for someone. If they really can't answer all the questions, then send someone to deliver a token to the palace."
Fourth Master really wished he could carry Li Chenjiao with him, but he knew he couldn't. He could only prepare everything that needed to be instructed and arranged before leaving.
The fact that Fourth Master said this at this time was rather... abrupt.
Fish and water blend together, endless joy.
Li Chenjiao could no longer hear what the Fourth Master was saying. He kept repeating it to her ear until she finally understood that he was calling her, calling her "Jiaojiao".
Li Chenjiao couldn't help but think that it was good that Fourth Master was away from the manor for two or three months, otherwise he would have a lot of energy but nowhere to release it.
In the end, Li Chenjiao didn't know how she fell asleep.
The next day, Fourth Master still had many things to arrange before his departure, but he waited for Li Chenjiao to wake up before leaving, as she was still groggy when she did.
The Fourth Master's voice was like a hypnosis to her, and in the end, she didn't even realize when he left.
When Li Chenjiao woke up again, she subconsciously raised her hand to rub her eyes, but immediately noticed the red marks on her arm.
There shouldn't be any mosquitoes at this time of year...
Li Chenjiao thought back to last night. Although they didn't get all red in the face, she could still sense that the commotion last night was later than usual.
Lying in bed, she couldn't help but count the age of the Fourth Master on her fingers.
By October 30th this year, Fourth Master will be twenty-six years old, a time when he will be full of energy...
She was also at a time when she lacked self-control, even more so than when she first entered the manor.
Li Chenjiao thought to herself, "What do you mean?"
She and the Fourth Prince could be considered an old married couple...
After a while of random thoughts, Li Chenjiao remembered that the Fourth Master seemed to have whispered something in her ear before leaving this morning. She raised her hand and called out to Qiu Hu.
Qiu Hu brought in warm water.
Li Chenjiao first asked what the Fourth Master had said this morning before slowly drinking warm water.
Qiu Hu let out a sound of surprise, and stammered for a moment, "Master said that you should not forget what he told you last night."
Li Chenjiao's face flushed red instantly. She coughed twice, and after finishing a glass of warm water, she cleared her throat again: "I...I understand. Shall we set out breakfast? Aman and Wanwan have gone to school?"
Qiu Hu said yes, that he had been out for almost half an hour.
Li Chenjiao said "Oh", then slowly got up to wash and dress, while Qiu Hu helped Li Chenjiao style her hair.
Just as she was about to say something, Qiu Ci rushed in excitedly: "Today, the clever maid in the small kitchen made green rice dumplings and cloud cakes, Master..."
Seeing this, Qiu Hu pursed her lips and waited until Qiu Ci was sent away before asking in a low voice, "Master, do you still need to take your medicine today?"
Li Chenjiao yawned. She had gone to bed late last night, and although her body was still here, her mind had already flown back to the bed. She really hadn't heard what Qiu Hu said.
She mumbled a reply, "No rush, no rush..."
Qiu Hu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
However, since the mistress had been recuperating for three or four years, it made sense. Knowing that her mistress had her own ideas, Qiu Hu didn't ask any more questions and simply gently tied up her mistress's hair.
After Li Chenjiao finished her breakfast, she took her books to the study to catch up on her sleep. In the study, surrounded by the scent of ink, she seemed to sleep even more soundly.
After the two children returned at noon, Li Chenjiao completely forgot about taking her medicine.
