"Ah!" Lanqin cried out in pain, her mind already cursing Fourth Master a thousand times over.
Fourth Master raised his head and looked at the red mark on Lanqin's left shoulder and the terrible hickeys on her chest. He immediately felt a sense of satisfaction.
"I'll bite too!" Lanqin said fiercely, and then with lightning speed, she quickly raised her head and smacked Fourth Master's chest, leaving her teeth mark.
Fourth Master endured Lanqin's kiss, and seeing the little woman's face covered in sweat and tears, her big, bright eyes staring at him, he immediately wanted more and pressed down on her, ready to fight again.
Lanqin hadn't expected that her first action would lead to another fierce battle, and she couldn't take it anymore. She cried out, "I've been feeling sleepy lately, I'm afraid I'm pregnant again. If you don't care about me, at least care about the child in my belly!"
Upon hearing this, Fourth Master had no choice but to forcibly suppress his hands, feet, and mouth, and looked up, saying in a muffled voice, "You're pregnant?"
Lanqin was actually just guessing. She had been feeling unwell and extremely sleepy lately, so she had some suspicions. She was just using it as a shield now.
"Yes, I've been feeling sleepy lately. I was planning to ask Doctor Lin to come and take a look as soon as I got back, but you're ignoring me!" Lanqin said, feigning grievance.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Fourth Master said almost viciously, then lowered his head and captured Lanqin's cherry-red, diamond-shaped mouth.
Almost as if punishing her, Fourth Master's tongue licked Lanqin's mouth wantonly, then plunged in, leaving her nowhere to retreat, until she could only entangle with Fourth Master.
Only after both of them felt a little short of breath did the Fourth Master release her and quietly withdraw from her mouth.
"Go and call Doctor Lin over immediately to examine your pulse. If you are pregnant, you'd better stay in the house and behave yourself. I'll come to keep you company every day, so don't think anything out of the ordinary!" Fourth Master said, each word distinct and his tone as firm as an order, leaving no room for refusal.
"Isn't the master busy taking concubines?" Lanqin was still uncomfortable and continued to sarcastically retort.
"Nothing is more important than your pregnancy right now! Don't you dare argue with me anymore!" Fourth Master's eyes were red as he stared at the little woman, wishing he could hold her in his mouth.
Lanqin felt a little better after hearing this, but then she thought, what if she wasn't pregnant? Would this man not have valued her so much?
"Your Majesty values offspring so much! What if I'm not pregnant?" Lanqin persisted. She remembered that Qianlong was born in the 50th year of Kangxi's reign, and it was only the 48th year of Kangxi's reign now—two more years to go! If she were truly pregnant, wouldn't she not be Qianlong?
"Nonsense! I care about you very much. Do you think I need to hold you in my hands and hang you on my clothes every day to be satisfied?" At this moment, the Fourth Prince had no mind to quarrel with Lanqin. He already doted on her extremely. But then Wuya came, and they were in the same room, and even... you know, that forced him to marry her.
Lanqin then said with slight satisfaction, "Master just said that he would come to keep me company every day. You mustn't go back on your word!"
Who cares? First, I need to secure his favor. As long as I keep Fourth Master's heart firmly in the South Courtyard, I don't care about Nian Shi or Wuya Shi—they can all step aside! What I want now is exclusive favor!!!
Seeing that the young woman was so angry, yet still afraid of losing his favor, the Fourth Master felt a great sense of security. His eyes softened, and he said, "When have I ever gone back on my word?"
Lanqin saw the Fourth Master's eyes soften, and the uncomfortable place in her heart melted away like ice and snow, making her feel a little relieved, but she still felt a little cold.
"I'll go and call Doctor Lin for you!" Fourth Master immediately and carefully climbed off Lanqin, picking up his clothes scattered on the ground one by one. He was too embarrassed to just call someone from outside to serve him like that; it would be quite shameful for him to come here in broad daylight and force himself on her, wouldn't it?
Lanqin, hidden under the covers, watched as the Fourth Master dressed himself piece by piece, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Since you're the ruler of this mansion, who dares to say anything bad about you? Why don't you call them in to serve you?"
The young woman spoke with sarcasm, but Fourth Master didn't bother arguing with Lanqin at the moment. He just gave her a slight glare and walked out.
The maids outside had already heard the commotion inside the room, and they all blushed and hid outside, not daring to stand in the main room anymore.
When the Fourth Master came out, he saw that there wasn't a single maid in the entire room. He called out a few times and heard a response from outside. It turned out that the maids were all standing outside.
Fourth Master recalled the fierce battle he had with Lanqin in the room, which had been quite noisy. These were all young women who were still unmarried, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed once, then said to Cui Niang, "Your mistress is probably pregnant. How could you be so careless? If it weren't for your mistress's sake, I would punish you right now. Hurry up and serve her! I'll go fetch a doctor to take a look!"
Before Cui Niang and the others could even think about it, Fourth Master had already walked out.
Cui Niang and Nian Xue immediately went into the room and saw that Lan Qin's clothes were still scattered on the footstool. They blushed again.
"You two, why aren't you coming over here to help me change? What are you standing there for?" Lanqin said hurriedly when she saw that it was Cui Niang and Nianxue who came in.
The two of them picked up the clothes one by one, then closed the door before helping Lanqin get up to change.
Seeing the hickeys on Lanqin's chest, Cui Niang frowned and said, "Master is too much! Master is pregnant now!"
Lanqin blushed with embarrassment. Although she had exposed her chest and buttocks in front of these maids more than once, this was the first time they had seen the traces left by the Fourth Master's crime!
“Are you all sure I’m pregnant? I was just lying to him, what if I’m not?” Lanqin said. “It seems that Wuya’s entry into the manor is unstoppable, but I will not easily give up my master’s heart.”
“I noticed that you were becoming increasingly lethargic, so I suspected you might be pregnant. Now that you are indeed pregnant, this child is truly a blessing for you!” Cui Niang said happily.
Lanqin stood on the footstool with her arms outstretched, still being helped by two maids to change her clothes. Hearing what Cui Niang said, although she felt a sweet feeling in her heart, she still felt that if she could only keep the Fourth Master in the South Courtyard by relying on her child, it would be too meaningless.
“My lady, if you are really pregnant, things won’t be the same as before. I’m worried that Consort Nian will come looking for the management of the household,” Nianxue said.
