A short while later, the Fourth Prince, dressed in a modified version of sportswear, emerged from behind the screen.
Looking at Lanqin, who was smiling, with a doting expression, he asked helplessly, "Qin'er, are you satisfied now?"
"Your Majesty, as expected of the supreme ruler, you still possess an extraordinary air even in this tracksuit. It seems this outfit suits Your Majesty very well," Lanqin said as she stepped forward to adjust the collar of the tracksuit for the Fourth Prince.
"I still find it a bit strange." The Fourth Prince glanced at Su Peisheng, who was smirking beside him.
"Your Majesty will get used to it after wearing it for a while; it's just that Your Majesty hasn't gotten used to it yet," Lanqin said with a smile, trying to comfort him.
Before the Fourth Prince could speak, Lanqin pulled him out of the bedchamber and said cheerfully, "After changing your clothes, Your Majesty, let's go for a run together and experience the benefits of this outfit."
Outside the palace, the sun shone brightly, its golden rays bathing every corner of the Yuanmingyuan Garden, the glistening dewdrops refracting the colorful morning light. A gentle breeze stirred, rippling the lotus pond in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, where Lanqin and the Fourth Prince were jogging along its banks.
If other people were present, they would see this scene.
The usually dignified and elegant Lanqin was running by the lake in a strange outfit, while closely following behind her was the Fourth Prince, who commanded the court and wielded great power on the battlefield.
Such a sight is truly astonishing.
However, Lanqin, who was running ahead of the Fourth Master, was unaware of this and happily told the Fourth Master, who was following behind, about the benefits of morning exercise.
"Your Majesty spends all day handling state affairs in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and has not gotten up to stretch your muscles and bones for a long time. Now, taking advantage of this rare time to get up and exercise in the morning will be beneficial to Your Majesty's health."
Looking at Lanqin ahead, the Fourth Prince found it amusing and asked, "What's the reason for this morning exercise? Why does Qin'er insist on dragging me out?"
“There are many intricacies involved,” Lanqin said, glancing back at the smiling Fourth Master behind her.
"By doing morning exercises every day, Your Majesty can relax your tense muscles and bones, sleep better at night, and also improve your mental state and appetite."
"Therefore, Your Majesty, you must insist that I continue my morning exercises and not give up."
Listening to Lanqin's well-reasoned explanation, Fourth Master laughed even more heartily and quickly agreed, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to Qin'er."
Therefore, not only the Fourth Prince, but also the group of servants following behind him began the mandatory course of morning exercises with Lanqin in the Yuanmingyuan.
Whether it was due to the effects of his morning exercise or the nurturing environment of the Yuanmingyuan Garden, the Fourth Prince's appetite indeed improved after a few days.
In the past, no matter how many delicacies were placed in front of the Fourth Master, he would only touch a little bit and then be unable to eat any more. Now, he is much better, and he even asks Su Peisheng to add more rice.
Although Lanqin and Fourth Master went to the lake for morning exercise every day, life in the Yuanmingyuan was still quite boring.
Therefore, in order to help the Fourth Master pass his leisure time, Lanqin came up with a leisure game of coloring watercolor paintings. She and the Fourth Master colored the outlined famous paintings with watercolors together.
It was a novel thing. Although Fourth Master was also a skilled painter, he had never played with it before.
Upon first seeing the landscape painting created by Lanqin, the Fourth Prince felt it had a unique charm, so he followed Lanqin and started painting after lunch.
