The Emperor traveled day and night to the capital. That night, the Fourth Prince returned quite late. Li Chenjiao was obedient and had already gone to bed by the time the Fourth Prince returned.
However, she remembered that the Fourth Master had said he was coming, so she asked the maid to leave a lamp on.
After returning, Fourth Master quickly washed up and went to bed. Li Chenjiao, who was on the inside of the bed, was already fast asleep. Even when Fourth Master turned over and made a little noise, Li Chenjiao did not react much.
The Fourth Prince had something on his mind, so he tucked the quilt around Li Chenjiao and closed his eyes.
While Father Emperor was away from the capital, my elder brother had been quite active, not to mention the recent unrest in Qinghai and the upcoming autumn imperial examinations. All sorts of things were piling up, creating a tangled mess.

The Fourth Prince liked people who knew their limits, because knowing limits helped him stay vigilant.
People should understand their own position and, more importantly, know how to be content with what they have.
On this point—
The Fourth Master, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and turned his head to look at the person sleeping soundly beside him.
Li Chenjiao is a model of contentment and carefree attitude.
Over the years, no one but Li has ever slept soundly beside my bed.
That can be considered a skill.
As the Fourth Master closed his eyes, he felt inexplicably calmer.
Many things cannot be solved simply by worrying.
