The two walked quietly along the long road, without making a sound. As the sun set and the afterglow shone on them, Lanqin sighed, "Time flies so fast. I wish time could stop right now. I wish I could stay with the Emperor like this forever."
Fourth Master was also reluctant to part with such a wonderful time. "Fool, we'll stay together forever!" The word "fool" was taught to him by Lanqin, who said it was a term of endearment.
"Oh, right, let's go watch the sunset. I know a good place." Fourth Master suddenly remembered a place he had always wanted to take Lanqin to. Without waiting for Lanqin's consent, he took her hand and left.
"This is the place you were talking about? I thought it was some scenic spot!" Lanqin pouted. The place they came to was just a tall building in the palace.
Fourth Master smiled and said, "Do you know where this is? It's the Moon Appreciation Pavilion, but it's still a good time to enjoy the sunset." As he spoke, his gaze shifted from Lanqin to the sunset.
Lanqin had only been paying attention to the surroundings inside the house and hadn't noticed the scenery outside. The next second, she exclaimed in admiration, praising Fourth Master for choosing such a good spot.
As they watched the sun gradually disappear, a nameless sadness welled up in their hearts. Lanqin rested her head on Fourth Master's shoulder. She had forgotten how many years it had been since she last rested her head on him. "How much time have we wasted?" Lanqin thought to herself.
The sun had set, and night had fallen. The two returned to Changchun Palace together.
Lanqin saw a woman sitting in the hall, and only after walking forward did she realize that the person was Yuyin. When Yuyin saw Fourth Master and Lanqin, she hurriedly got up from her seat to greet them.
The Fourth Prince told her to get up, then turned to Lanqin and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go rest first. You can chat with the Seventeenth Prince's concubine." After saying that, he went to Lanqin's bedroom to rest.
After seeing that the Fourth Prince had left, Lanqin took Yuyin for a walk outside Changchun Palace.
"Yu Yin, what brings you here today? You must have been waiting for me for a long time!" Considering that he and Fourth Master had only returned after dark, Yu Yin must have arrived in the afternoon.
"I didn't have to wait long. I went to Hongzhou's wedding today and thought I'd come and see you." As the seventeenth concubine, she was invited to Hongzhou's wedding, and she came to see Lanqin because of her cousin. It was only right and proper for her to pay her respects.
"I attended Hongzhou's wedding today, and also the Seventeenth Prince's wife. Is she easy to get along with?" Lanqin saw Yuyin at the banquet today, but didn't pay much attention to her.
“The principal wife is very kind. Hongzhou did a good job with the wedding. I also saw Hongli today, and I found that he has matured a lot.” Yu Yin knew that Lanqin had always valued Hongzhou highly.
"Yes, both children have grown up a lot. Hongli also knows how to take care of his brothers, so I, as their mother, can have a lot less to worry about," Lanqin said with a smile.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on raising such an outstanding prince. If only I could have even a fraction of Your Majesty's good fortune," Yu Yin couldn't help but sigh.
Lanqin knew that Yuyin must have come to see her for something other than to pay her respects.
Lanqin thought Yuyin had come to chat, but seeing the worry on her face, she asked, "How have you and Seventeen been lately?"
Yu Yin seemed to have her secret exposed, and her expression became even more worried. She stammered, unsure of what to do.
