It seems Madam Geng is trying to cultivate a relationship with Lanqin. Fourth Master hasn't visited her room much in the last few months; he's getting a little anxious.
Lanqin felt slightly embarrassed. Of course she knew what Madam Geng meant by that—she was looking for opportunities to spend more time with the Fourth Master.
Well, it's the only one who's showing goodwill, so I can't just turn them down outright.
"If you have time, sister, come visit often. Come on, let's play cards together." Lanqin thought for a moment: Forget it, I don't want to think about those things about vying for favor anymore.
Geng spent several hours with Lanqin. Lanqin originally planned to have her stay for a meal, but Geng insisted on refusing, so Lanqin had no choice but to let her go.
After Geng left, Lanqin asked Huanbi and Xicha to go to the kitchen to fetch lunch.
As if she had been holding it in for a long time, Nianxue said to Lanqin after the two maids left, "Princess, this Princess Geng is trying to curry favor with you and have more contact with the master."
“I know your princess isn’t stupid. Sigh, I can’t very well just kick her out.” Lanqin picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite.
"Master, the master is here!" Zi Ran saw through the window that Fourth Master was leading Su Peisheng into the courtyard.
Nianxue quickly glanced at Lanqin, making sure her headdress, clothes, and face were all in good condition, before stepping aside. Last time, they had been reprimanded by the Fourth Master for not serving the Princess well.
Lanqin suddenly became playful. She ran to the door and hid behind a flower stand placed to the side of the door.
Nianxue saw this and wanted to stop him, but it was too late; the Fourth Master's footsteps were already approaching. She and Ziran had already curtsied, and as soon as the Fourth Master lifted his foot, the two maids hurriedly said, "Greetings, Master!" As servants, they could not break the rules.
Su Peisheng remained standing outside the door, waiting for instructions.
Fourth Master stepped into the main house, but Lanqin was nowhere to be seen. Just as he was about to ask, a small creature suddenly jumped up from behind and gripped his neck and shoulders tightly.
My God! Su Peisheng was completely dumbfounded! This Princess Niu is really too bold; no one has ever dared to play with their master like this before.
"Hahaha! Grandpa, carry me on your back!" Lanqin said coquettishly, her laughter as melodious as silver bells. For some reason, Lanqin felt a little wronged that Fourth Master hadn't come last night, and she was now trying to make up for it.
"You unruly brat! Get down right now, you're choking me so badly I can't kick you anymore." Fourth Master grabbed Lanqin's small hands, intending to scare her, but seeing that the servants were all there, he had no choice but to hurry up and say it.
Seeing the Fourth Master's expression, Lanqin obediently got off his back.
"I kindly gave you this courtyard, but you've strangled my neck until it's red," Fourth Master said with a deliberately cold face.
Upon hearing this, Nianxue became anxious. The princess was really too unruly.
"Alright, pay your respects to Master! Okay, enough already, don't you get tired of hearing so many greetings every day?" Lanqin said, still pouting.
The Fourth Prince was taken aback. What the little princess said made sense. If she was always thinking about paying her respects, wouldn't she just become a servant again? What he liked about her was her natural, unrestrained, and carefree nature.
"I'm hungry, Master. Have you ordered lunch? What did you order?" Fourth Master wanted to leave and move on from this topic.
"I didn't know you were coming for lunch, so I sent two maids to fetch it. Please add a few more dishes." Lanqin noticed a thin layer of sweat on the Fourth Master's forehead and knew that he was still wrapped up tightly in layers of clothing. He must have been quite annoyed by her earlier fright.
"What dishes would you like to add?" Fourth Master asked.
"Just one celery and lily bulb dish, one bitter melon stir-fried with pork, and one winter melon and dried shrimp soup. Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Su." Lanqin immediately put on a virtuous act and said, seeing that Fourth Master was like this, she should order some dishes that would help cool him down.
Su Peisheng agreed. Ever since this Consort Niu became favored, he had been running to the kitchen every few days. But since his master liked it, he had to run even if his legs broke.
"Little thing, are you using these to help your master relieve his lust?" Fourth Master gave Lanqin a meaningful look.
"Master, you're covered in sweat. Why don't you take a bath and change your clothes?" Lanqin blushed and couldn't help but take the handkerchief from her chest and wipe the Fourth Master's face.
"Now you know how to care for your master! Then let's take a bath." Fourth Master walked behind the long table and sat down.
Lanqin quickly gave Nianxue a look, ordering her to prepare a wooden bucket and hot water.
He glanced at the two dragon-patterned painted vases on the left-hand display shelf, then at the "Rain and Mist Painting" hanging on the west side, and suddenly said, "It seems like a piece of calligraphy is missing. I'll write one for you after lunch."
"Okay, I'll grind the powder for you in a bit," Lanqin said with a smile. Having the Fourth Prince around was much more fun than being alone. Besides, she had just become his woman, and naturally felt a certain dependence on him. Moreover, he had just bestowed so many fine things upon her, which truly made Lanqin feel the comfort of being a favored concubine!
Nianxue and the young eunuch carried the large wooden tub to Lanqin's bedroom and brought in hot water. The Fourth Prince pulled Lanqin into the bedroom. The maids quickly and discreetly left the room and closed the door.
"Come on, take a bath with me!" The Fourth Prince suddenly pulled Lanqin into his arms. He hadn't come over last night, and the little princess was probably feeling a bit unwell. Last night, he went to the east courtyard, checked on the Fourth Prince, and played with the Third Prince for a while. Out of consideration for his feelings for Lady Li, although he had confined her to her quarters, he still let her stay there, though he didn't do anything. He did this to warn Lady Li not to become spoiled by the emperor's favor, but whether she understood or not, he didn't know.
Lanqin lowered her head and let the Fourth Master take off his clothes. The two of them, bare-chested and bare-backed, soaked in the tub. Seeing the little princess's shy expression, the Fourth Master couldn't resist any longer. He pulled Lanqin closer, and the two of them embraced each other naked.
Lin Mengyao, this is real, not a dream. You really have become Fourth Master's woman! You really lived three hundred years ago. Lanqin silently murmured in her heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Fourth Master lowered his head and kissed Lanqin's forehead.
"Master, I like it when you treat me well," Lanqin couldn't help but say, while inwardly thinking: "Sister, have I fallen in love with Fourth Master? Damn it, really fallen in love with him? Is that even possible?"
"Little thing, I can't help but want to pamper you right now." A certain part of Fourth Master's body seemed to have changed.
Lanqin felt it and couldn't help but reach out and grasp that hard spot.
"Oh dear, Lin Mengyao, you've even started actively flirting with men." Lan Qin thought to herself, finally escaping the shadow of being a "leftover woman."
Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then immediately gasped with pleasure, saying, "What a pesky little thing." Of all the women who had served him, none dared to take the initiative; it was almost always Fourth Master who made the moves, and they all wore expressions of shyness and pain.
Lanqin, still in the water, boldly performed a masturbation act for Fourth Master. Afterwards, the two of them got out of the tub, dressed themselves, and then called someone in to clean up.
Lunch had been brought and filled a small table, and the two of them enjoyed a hearty lunch.
