"Father Emperor is not expected to appoint another Crown Prince. No one knows who Father Emperor will appoint now! If what you just said gets out, it will be a capital offense! It will bring disaster to your entire family!" Fourth Prince said very seriously.
Lanqin just regretted it too; she had spoken too quickly! You know, even though Kangxi deposed the crown prince, he was still heartbroken and didn't want anyone to mention the matter of establishing an heir for a while.
"My lord, I was wrong. I got a little carried away. Please punish me!" Lanqin said obediently, bowing low.
"This is a one-time exception! Never again shall you utter such words," Fourth Master said with a dark face.
"Master, the problem they just mentioned can actually be solved by exchanging examiners," Lanqin quickly flattered.
"You mean, by having different people read the same person's paper, we can solve the problem of bias?" Fourth Master asked.
“Yes, sir, we could even arrange for people with neutral political views to grade the papers together. That would solve the candidates’ problems,” Lanqin said. In fact, she was just suggesting to the Fourth Prince the methods used in modern civil service exams.
“That’s definitely possible! This solves the problem of differences caused by personal preferences.” Fourth Master’s eyes lit up as he looked at Lanqin with a wry smile, as if she were a delicious pastry that he couldn’t wait to put into his mouth.
Lanqin saw that Fourth Master's eyes were practically green with envy as he looked at her, just like a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb. She quickly shrank back and trembled as she said, "Master, could you please stop looking at me like that? I'm so scared!"
Fourth Master, however, refused to let her go. He scooped up Lanqin, pulled her into his arms, and couldn't help but press her down!
What's going on here?! Why does he turn into a wild beast the moment Fourth Master appears?! Is he really going to have sex in the car?!
Lanqin blushed from the Fourth Master's kisses, her hands flailing wildly behind his back. After a long while, she finally collapsed into the Fourth Master's arms, embracing each other and breathing heavily.
"Master, you're so cruel today! What did I do wrong?" Lanqin's face was flushed as she nestled in the Fourth Master's arms, but the area below her mouth was a bit of a mess, covered in peck marks from the Fourth Master.
"You actually ran off to another man in front of me, that's one thing; you dressed too seductively today, that's another; how come your little brain is so quick, that's the third!" Fourth Master squinted his eyes and hugged the woman in his arms even tighter.
"..." Lan Qin felt like a million curses were running through her mind. What kind of bullshit reason was this?
"I've discovered that I'm increasingly wanting to keep you hidden away like a mistress. What should I do? I won't allow anyone to see a single thing!" The Fourth Prince rarely spoke of his dark secrets with such emotion.
"My lord, I've already borne you four children. You can't escape me!" Lanqin found it a little amusing. She had thought that as she spent more time with the Fourth Prince, his doting affection and tenderness towards her might fade like that of other old married couples. But now, the Fourth Prince seemed to value her more and more, which made Lanqin feel as if she had eaten the richest chocolate. Although she couldn't stand the Fourth Prince's ruthless appearance, she also liked him immensely.
"Master, shall we head back to the manor now?" Lanqin was getting hungry; the few Goubuli steamed buns she ate that morning had long since been digested by the Fourth Master.
"Alright, let's go back to the manor and continue!" Fourth Master said shamelessly, staring at the little woman in his arms.
"..." Lanqin rolled her eyes at Fourth Master a few times and said, "Master, I'm hungry. Let's go back and I want to have a meal first!"
The carriage floated lightly towards the Old Summer Palace, with the enchanting scenery inside the carriage all the way.
Upon returning to Wan'an Fanghe, Lanqin immediately instructed Sihua to have Niu Baoquan serve up delicious food as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, Chef Niu was well-prepared and immediately brought up a pot of beef stew with radish for Lanqin and Fourth Master. Then he washed the cabbage, tofu and other side ingredients and put them in the pot to cook, so that the masters could eat first.
Lanqin and Fourth Master were indeed hungry, so they didn't care about anything else, washed their hands and started eating. Chef Niu immediately steamed an eight-treasure fish and a steamed deer hoof pork according to Fourth Master and Lanqin's preferences; then he stir-fried chicken with vermicelli, bell pepper beef tenderloin, and three-delicacy meatballs with cuttlefish slices, etc.
After all the dishes were served, Lanqin was already eating very happily. She just couldn't stand being hungry; once she was hungry, she had no energy to do anything.
"Master, this deer hoof pork knuckle is delicious, you should have some!" Lanqin picked up a piece with her chopsticks and handed it to the Fourth Master.
Fourth Master didn't mind at all and ate it directly with his mouth. Si Hua and Shui Ling, who were serving him, were stunned. In the past, their master would let Lan Qin pick up food for him, but it had never come to this—they were feeding each other!
Why do the mistress and master seem to have gotten closer after going out together? The two maids pursed their lips.
Lanqin looked at them, all of them smiling, and shouted, "Get out! Go down and eat too. You don't need to serve us here."
After the two maids were dismissed, Lanqin became even more unrestrained. Seeing the young woman eating so happily, the Fourth Master's appetite also improved, and he began to eat heartily as well.
The two ate and drank heartily for a while before calling the maids to clean up. After the Fourth Master had eaten and drunk his fill, he looked at Lanqin, who hadn't changed her clothes yet, and his eyes burned with lust again.
"Clean your face, clean your hands, get into bed!" Fourth Master said to Lanqin, reciting the six-word mantra.
Lanqin hadn't quite come to her senses yet. Seeing that Fourth Master was still preoccupied with this matter, she couldn't help but twitch her eyelids and say, "Master, could we wait until tonight?"
"No way!" Fourth Master exclaimed, his eyes gleaming.
With a bitter face, Lanqin was helped to wash her face and hands by Sihua and Shuiling. Then, she was picked up by the Fourth Master and thrown onto the bed.
"Master, it's not good for your health to exercise so vigorously right after eating. Why don't we take a nap together?" Lanqin pleaded with her last bit of mercy from the bed.
"No way!" Fourth Master kicked off his shoes, grabbed his gun, and got into bed.
Lanqin had no idea that the Fourth Master would be so ruthless today. She felt as if she were being squeezed and turned like a dumpling. Perhaps it had been a long time since she had indulged in such sensual pleasures in broad daylight, and Lanqin was still a little reserved, but this did not affect the Fourth Master's enthusiasm at all. He was like someone who had discovered a new continent, forcing Lanqin to her limits.
Lanqin couldn't bear it any longer and began to sob, her soft cries echoing across the bed. Hearing this, Fourth Master felt a pang of heartache. But the little woman was just too alluring today, and he couldn't resist.
"Don't cry, sweetie, I'm just being affectionate!" Fourth Master felt a little guilty. He hadn't expected that Lanqin, who had already given birth to four children, would still be so tender down there. Had he been a bit too rough just now?
