The Fourth Prince gazed tenderly at Lanqin in the mirror, cherishing these moments alone together, like an ordinary couple, free from worldly troubles. As he combed her hair, he whispered, "Having Qin'er in this life is truly my greatest blessing."
Hearing the Fourth Prince's words, Lanqin felt a warmth in her heart, and her smile deepened. Looking into the Fourth Prince's eyes in the mirror, Lanqin said, word by word, "To be the Emperor's favorite concubine in this life, and to be with the Emperor for a lifetime, is my greatest blessing."
The two looked at each other in the mirror, enjoying the peaceful moment, with their beloved by their side.
But even so, after the joy came worry, and Lanqin's fear was unlike that of the Fourth Master. She worried that this happiness would soon disappear, and she really didn't want to endure such suffering any longer. She even thought that if one day she could travel back in time, that would be wonderful. Then she could live a peaceful life, perhaps without having to endure the pain of this prophetic foresight.
However, if she were to travel back in time, what would the Fourth Master do, and what would she do? These were things Lanqin dared not imagine any further.
Looking at the melancholy reflected on Lanqin's face in the mirror, Fourth Master knew more or less what Lanqin was thinking, so he asked Lanqin, "Are you thinking about going back again?"
Upon hearing the Fourth Prince's words, Lanqin's expression froze, her pupils dilated slightly, and she looked at the Fourth Prince with some surprise, "How could Your Majesty know what I am thinking?"
Lanqin thought she had concealed it well; she didn't want to burden the Fourth Prince with such suffering. At first, she believed that knowing everything was a blessing from heaven, like a protagonist in a 21st-century novel with a powerful backstory. But as she watched those she cared about leave her one by one, the wheels of history crushing them, her heart ached terribly. She knew they would end up this way, but she was powerless to stop it. The Thirteenth Prince was like that, then it would be Yonglian, and who would be next?
Although the Fourth Prince's fate is different from that in history, what will become of him in the future? Can she really reverse fate and control the destiny of all people?
Is it possible...? Lanqin kept asking herself.
The Fourth Prince gently combed Lanqin's hair, afraid of hurting her. He slowly said, "Actually, I worry every day about what I will do if you go back in time."
Upon hearing the Fourth Prince's words, Lanqin frowned, reached out and grasped the hand that the Fourth Prince was holding her hair, and said firmly, "If I go back, I will take the Emperor back with me."
The Fourth Prince chuckled, put down the comb in his hand, picked up the hairpin on the table and put it into Lanqin's hair, teasingly saying, "Then in the future, someone has to die so that I can wear their body. What if it's a woman and I become a woman?"
Upon hearing Fourth Master's words, Lanqin could immediately imagine what he would look like as a woman. Lanqin smiled, knowing that Fourth Master was just teasing her, and felt a warmth in her heart.
Lanqin then said, "If I were a woman, I could only be your sister."
Lanqin naturally dared not tell the Fourth Master that in the 21st century, in some places women could have relationships beyond being sisters. However, she was afraid that her coming out would frighten the Fourth Master, since such a relationship was simply against human ethics to him.
