Seeing Lanqin's expression that said, "I don't want to talk to you, get back to work," the Fourth Prince had no choice but to go to the stove and actually pick up the bamboo bellows to blow air. Several palace maids, seeing the dignified Fourth Prince actually running over and squatting down to blow air, all expressed their admiration for Lanqin.
Fourth Master had never done anything like this before. After a brief shout, thick black smoke billowed from the stove opening, choking him and making his eyes and nose sting.
Cough cough cough~~~
Fourth Master suddenly collapsed to the ground, dropping the bamboo bellows in his hand, and coughed repeatedly.
Seeing the Fourth Prince's disheveled appearance, Lanqin was hesitant to move, unsure whether to step forward and help him, especially since the concubine was right there!
"Go fetch a basin of water!" Lanqin said to Sihua beside her, then stepped forward and took out a handkerchief from her chest to wipe the Fourth Master's eyes.
"Close your eyes and don't rub them! The more you rub, the worse it will feel!" Lanqin squatted down and took Fourth Master's hands. Just now, Fourth Master's eyes were not only choked by the thick smoke, but also by some unburnt tobacco ash that blew into his eyes.
When Si Hua brought the basin of water, Lan Qin quickly put the handkerchief into the water to wet it, and then wiped the Fourth Master's eyes little by little, and finally wiped his entire face.
The palace maids nearby were all coaxed out by Si Hua, leaving only Lan Qin and the Fourth Prince in the kitchen.
"How is it? Does it still hurt?" Lanqin asked, wiping and blowing on the face while holding Fourth Master's face in her hands.
"It's still a little bit here, can you blow on it again?" Fourth Master said, enjoying Lanqin's "care" with his eyes closed, while continuing to feign pain. Actually, he had already stopped hurting, but he was enjoying Lanqin's attentiveness, and suddenly had the urge to continue pretending to be in pain.
"Here?" Lanqin regretted letting Fourth Master go and stir up trouble at the stove.
"Here, come closer, the air you blew just now was too weak." Fourth Master couldn't help but start groping Lanqin's waist with both hands.
Lanqin's attention and head were focused on Fourth Master's head, and she didn't notice that Fourth Master's hands had already wrapped around her from behind.
"puff!"
Lanqin exerted a little force, flipped up Fourth Master's upper eyelid with one hand, and blew on it.
Fourth Master couldn't hold back any longer. He wrapped his arms around Lanqin tightly and then opened his eyes.
Lanqin hadn't expected Fourth Master to suddenly hug her like that, and then she opened her eyes, showing no signs of getting any dust in them, and at that moment she bumped into Fourth Master's arms.
"you!"
Lanqin blushed and asked anxiously, "Were you faking it just now?"
The Fourth Prince did not answer, but immediately lowered his head and captured those two delicate red lips. It had probably been a long time since they had kissed like this. It seemed that since the day Uya launched her attack, Lanqin and the Fourth Prince had not spent the night together.
At this moment, Fourth Master was like a parched land receiving sweet rain, his hands and mouth never letting up. Lanqin was initially shocked, then tried to resist, but she collapsed into Fourth Master's arms, unable to exert any strength at all.
Fourth Master held Lanqin firmly in his arms until she was powerless to resist, letting his sharp tongue search for her delicate tongue in her sweet mouth. The two kissed passionately for a long time, until Fourth Master's manhood became erect, and only then did he release Lanqin.
This is the kitchen, after all. If the Fourth Master really wants to do something, this is really not the place.
"Master, you are taking advantage of my vulnerability and stealing from me!" Lanqin said, sitting up from Fourth Master's arms with a flushed face.
"You are my concubine, how can I not touch my own concubine?" the Fourth Prince said helplessly, with a smug look on his face. He was nothing like the cold-faced king!
"Didn't Your Excellency personally say in front of our ancestors at the Fengxian Hall that you wanted to pursue me again? Could it be that everything you said back then was just empty talk?" Lanqin protested.
When Fourth Prince heard Lanqin say this, he was immediately speechless. He had indeed said it in the Fengxian Hall. He could only say, "Alright, then I will begin my pursuit. Tell me, how should I pursue her?"
Lanqin was almost furious. This man, when he was pursuing a girl, actually asked her how to pursue her. Was he an idiot?
"Figure it out yourself!" Lanqin rolled her eyes at Fourth Master, said this, and then stood up from the ground, saying to the outside, "Come in, everyone."
The Fourth Prince was humiliated by Lanqin's words, but he had no choice but to get up immediately. Otherwise, if those palace maids saw him like this, where would he put his cold-faced Fourth Prince's face?
The palace maids entered one by one with their heads down, looking around aimlessly. Lanqin ordered them to continue their work, while the Fourth Prince slunk away behind them.
As the Fourth Prince walked towards Consort De's side, pondering Lanqin's words, he was completely unaware that Emperor Kangxi had already walked in from that direction.
"Fourth Prince!" Kangxi called out.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince immediately turned around and saw the bright yellow robe. He quickly ran to Kangxi, patted his sleeves, and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty. I just came out of the kitchen and didn't see Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities. You just came from the kitchen? Was it Minrou who was cooking?" Kangxi asked.
For a moment, the Fourth Prince was stunned, his mind searching for the name "Minrou" until he remembered Lanqin's new title. He immediately said, "That's right, County Chief Minrou is in the kitchen preparing a meal for Father Emperor."
It turns out that Kangxi had just called Lanqin by her new title, and he was still not used to it.
"Hehe, Minrou is such a thoughtful girl. The wild vegetable cakes she made are just to my liking. She also prepared tea, which is also to my liking. Today I don't feel as nauseous as usual. Fourth Prince, you've married a wonderful concubine!" Kangxi said with a smile.
"Many thanks to Father Emperor for his favor. It is all Niohuru's good fortune to be personally bestowed this title by Father Emperor. Your son is incompetent and did not think of these things beforehand. Instead, I have been given the position of a secondary consort," the Fourth Prince said modestly.
"Hey, how could you, a grown man, know about the affairs of the inner quarters of the kitchen? But Minrou is indeed a good person; she comes up with good ideas, tells good jokes, and makes very good cakes," Kangxi said.
After saying this, Kangxi led the palace servants to Consort De's main hall.
As Fourth Master followed along, he wondered why that little woman had never told him a joke or made him any wild vegetable cakes.
After Emperor Kangxi and Consort De were seated, and the Fourth Prince sat beside them, the palace maids served several plates of pastries. Kangxi then said, "I can't wait any longer. I wonder what kind of surprise Minrou will bring me this time?"
"Your Majesty, Consort Niohuru said she'll definitely whet your appetite, so please wait patiently for a while," Consort De said with a smile.
