Seeing that Fourth Master looked puzzled by these new terms, Lanqin smiled and said, "In vitro fertilization is a technology of the 21st century. If someone is infertile, they can use this technology to conceive artificially, thus increasing the chances of pregnancy."
After a pause, Lanqin continued, "As for the continuation of the family line, people in later generations don't value it very much. Except for the older generation who are more persistent, they don't pursue it too much. Some people only have one child, whether it's a boy or a girl."
Although the Fourth Prince couldn't understand Hou Rao's thinking, he immediately asked, "Isn't it good to have a house full of children and grandchildren?"
"After all, in later generations, the cost of raising children is very high, and people emphasize eugenics and good parenting."
Hearing the new words coming out of Lanqin's mouth, Fourth Master felt that he had been a frog in a well all these years. Although he wished he could understand the thoughts of people in later generations, Fourth Master was very interested in these things, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Furthermore, modern technology is very advanced. If His Majesty's headache were to be properly treated at the hospital, it would be much easier."
Seeing the Fourth Prince's excited face, Lanqin asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, would you like to go to sleep?"
"You've really kept me up all night. At first, you startled me, and now the things you're talking about in the 21st century are so novel."
“If Your Majesty wishes to know anything, Lanqin will tell you.”
The two sat on the bed talking for half the night, and then both slept soundly the next day. Even the palace servants who were attending to them dared not enter.
Su Peisheng, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, saw that the Fourth Prince and Lanqin had not yet gotten up, so he asked, "Why is the Empress Dowager and the Emperor still not awake? They usually get up early to go for a morning run around this time."
Standing to the side, Cui Niang slowly said, "Perhaps Your Majesty was tired last night, because she suddenly had a nightmare. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager must have exhausted a lot of their energy."
Then, looking at the room with some heartache, she continued, "Let them rest first; there's no need to get up early in the Yuanmingyuan."
And so, Lanqin and the Fourth Prince slept until past 9 a.m. When Lanqin got up, she saw the Fourth Prince looking at her, so she asked shyly, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me?"
"I just want to look at you more."
Hearing the Fourth Prince's words, Lanqin glared at him and then said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you've been so improper lately."
"Your Majesty, what time is it now?"
"It's just past 9 AM. You must have been tired yesterday, so rest a bit more today." Fourth Master smoothed Lanqin's hair and then asked, "Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you a meal."
"Su Peisheng, come in."
"Your Majesty." Upon hearing the Fourth Prince's summons, Su Peisheng hurriedly entered the room.
"Serve the meal," Fourth Master said, waving his hand.
Before long, the breakfast that had been prepared in advance was brought up. After washing up, the two sat down at the breakfast table. The Fourth Master, who was sitting next to Lanqin, kept looking at Lanqin, making Lanqin feel embarrassed.
Lanqin put down her chopsticks and looked at the Fourth Prince, her voice tinged with shyness, "Your Majesty, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Upon hearing this, Fourth Master knew that Lanqin was shy, so he waved to the people standing around and said, "You may all step back now. You don't need to serve us here."
"yes."
After they left, Fourth Master was able to ask Lanqin, "What things from later generations don't exist now?"
