"The Master's suspicion at that time really saddened Lanqin. Without the Master's trust, Lanqin felt..." Lanqin knew that the Fourth Master had made a great concession to her. If she continued to hold on to it, she was afraid that she would really chill the Fourth Master's heart.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!" When Fourth Master saw that Lanqin was finally willing to express her sadness, he knew that she was no longer so resistant, so he took a step forward, grabbed her arm, and walked back.
Su Peisheng and Nianxue followed behind the two and smiled at each other. Seeing that their masters had made up, they, as servants, felt a little better.
Fourth Master didn't let Lanqin ride in the sedan chair anymore. Instead, he picked her up and put her on a horse. He then mounted his own horse and sat behind Lanqin. He left with only the words, "You can all go back on your own. You don't need to come along," and rode away, leaving Su Peisheng and Nianxue dumbfounded, staring blankly at their departing figures.
"Eunuch Su, it seems that Master and Princess are not going back for the time being. Where are they going?" Nianxue asked.
"How would I know? Judging from this, it's probably not the route back to the Lu residence! Come on, Miss Nianxue, why don't you get into the sedan chair? I'll ride back on horseback with you," Su Peisheng joked.
“That won’t do. This is for the princess. I’ll just follow along.” Nianxue shook her head, refusing to get into the sedan chair. Although she knew Lanqin would never blame her, Nianxue was absolutely unwilling to overstep her bounds.
Meanwhile, Lanqin and Fourth Master rode at full speed. Fourth Master was an excellent rider, but in the slightly crowded streets, they still attracted the attention of some people who stopped to watch, and even some with resentful looks.
"Master, slow down, there are many people on the street, be careful not to bump into someone!" Lanqin nestled in Fourth Master's arms and said shyly. She only felt that the warm embrace on her back was so precious that she wanted to stay in that embrace forever.
"Don't worry, I won't bump into anyone. Hold on tight!" Fourth Master's breath brushed against Lanqin's face, making her ears burn and her heart race. But what made her heart tremble even more was Fourth Master's next move: he quickened the pace of his whip, and the horse galloped away like a madman, its speed increasing rapidly, making Lanqin dizzy. All she could hear was the horse's neighing and panting, and a fleeting murmur of noise.
As they passed through a densely populated area, the horse reared up, and Lanqin almost slid off its back. However, Fourth Master's long arm held her tightly, and then she felt the horse leap up as if it were about to take flight, soaring directly over the heads of those people!
"Ah!" Lanqin screamed uncontrollably, thinking to herself: Why do men always think it's cool to make women scream?! Fourth Master's actions are similar to those hotheads who drive recklessly on the main road with girls in tow.
Seeing the woman in his arms fall into his arms in fright is probably an instinct that every male animal has!
Fourth Master carried the screaming Lanqin to a quiet, secluded path before slowly coming to a stop.
"Master, let's get down and walk around. I'm afraid I feel nauseous!" Lanqin said irritably, as she felt a wave of dry heaving begin to rise in her stomach.
When Fourth Master saw that Lanqin really looked like she was going to vomit, he quickly jumped off his horse and then reached out his arms to lift her down from the horse.
Seeing a long wooden bench by the roadside, Fourth Master picked up Lanqin and placed her on it. Then he led the horse over and tied it to a big tree behind the bench.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Fourth Master walked to Lanqin's side, squatted down, and asked, looking at Lanqin's pale face.
"Hmm, it's not so disgusting anymore!" Lanqin's eyes were filled with some glistening tears.
Seeing this, the Fourth Master reached out and wiped away the tears from Lanqin's eyes, saying emotionally, "It was my fault just now. I was too happy and didn't think that you would feel uncomfortable..."
The Fourth Prince suddenly stepped forward and kissed away the tears from Lanqin's eyes. This action startled Lanqin so much that she almost panicked. Fourth Prince, this is on the street!
Lanqin hurriedly escaped from Fourth Master's lips, looked around, and luckily it was already dark, and the street was very quiet with hardly anyone around.
...
"What are you thinking about?" After the two had been sitting together on the bench for a while, Fourth Master asked.
"I'm thinking about my childhood memories," Lanqin said, nestled in the Fourth Prince's arms with her eyes closed.
"What memories do you have?" Fourth Master asked gently.
"I remember when I was a child, Mam took me to eat many traditional foods, such as sweet porridge, fried dough twists, braised pork, braised chicken, shredded pancakes, and Suzhou hot pot..." Lanqin was naturally referring to Lin Mengyao's childhood memories. How could she know what childhood memories Niu Gulu Lanqin had?
"These are all local specialties of Jinan Prefecture. Did you live here when you were a child?" Fourth Master tried hard to recall Lingzhu's career. It seemed that he had never lived in Jinan Prefecture. Since he was a branch of the Niohuru family, although he did not hold an important position in the court, he was definitely not sent to other places.
Lanqin's eyes flickered slightly, realizing she had let something slip again, and she quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "When I was a child, Mam brought me to Jinan Prefecture and we stayed there for a while. I really liked the food there, and those flavors have stayed in my memory ever since."
Fourth Master didn't think much of it. He naturally had no way of knowing what Lingzhu's mother had done, so he said, "How about I take you to find these things now, buy some, and take them with us to eat on the road!"
Lanqin's heart stirred, and she said gratefully, "You're so kind, Master, but it's getting late, and I don't remember where to buy these things."
Fourth Master said, “That’s not difficult. When I get back, I’ll ask the Lu family steward and have him buy it for you!”
Lanqin raised her head and lightly pecked Fourth Master's cheek, saying sweetly, "You're so good, Master!"
Fourth Master joked, "From now on, I'll know what to do to make you happy. As long as there's food, that'll do!"
Lanqin pouted deliberately and said, "You're so annoying, Master!"
When the two returned to the manor, it was already past 7 PM. The Fourth Prince naturally stayed at Lanqin's place that night, and the two made love in the bridal tent for quite some time.
Lanqin always felt that the Fourth Master was going too far, but she also liked it, so she was conflicted. She liked the Fourth Master's vigorous energy, but she was also a little afraid. Every time she was exhausted until she cried and begged, the Fourth Master would take pity on Lanqin and stop. If it was up to him, he could continue.
This time was no exception. Lanqin sobbed and begged as the Fourth Prince thrust into her. Seeing the little princess's distress, the Fourth Prince restrained himself, thrusting hard a few times before stopping.
Seeing that the little princess had been fussed over and had fallen asleep on the pillow, the Fourth Prince shook his head helplessly, and then stroked the little princess's body affectionately for a while before stopping.
