As soon as Yan Yu finished speaking, Lan Qin couldn't help but raise her handkerchief and cover her nose and mouth. The others also suppressed their laughter and turned their heads away to look elsewhere.
"Why are you making fun of me?" Yan Yu had already seen the quiet person sitting next to Geng Shi. Seeing her making fun of her words, she immediately challenged her.
"Yan Yu, don't be rude. This is Princess Niu from the South Courtyard! Actually, you were in the same batch of imperial concubines." The Fujin smiled slightly and said.
This time it was Lanqin's turn to be startled. She had seen Yan Yu beside the Fujin as soon as she entered. She had to admit that Yan Yu was indeed very beautiful, and it was not incomprehensible that the Fourth Prince liked her.
“My sister was also a candidate for the imperial concubine in the 43rd year of the Kangxi Emperor’s reign. What a coincidence! But I don’t think I met her back then, otherwise I would recognize her now!” Lanqin looked Yan Yu up and down a few more times, but still couldn’t recall her being in the Chuxiu Palace at that time!
“Then we’ll be together day and night from now on. Sister Niu, please don’t be stingy with your guidance!” Yan Yu smiled charmingly, her appearance truly captivating. No wonder the Fourth Master treated her differently. Lan Qin couldn’t help but think to herself.
“What do you mean by that, sister? Is the rumor circulating outside about you?” Madam Li couldn’t help but interject.
The Fujin spoke first, saying to Yan Yu, "Didn't you just hear that if Yan Yu is truly the one with the water element in her five elements, then it is Heaven's will that she enter the Fourth Prince's mansion?"
After the Lady Consort finished speaking, everyone was speechless and made excuses to leave. The pleasant evening out gradually ended with Lady Li's departure.
Lanqin was helped by Nianxue to walk towards the south courtyard. Along the way, Lanqin was rather silent. The words spoken in the pavilion just now clearly indicated that Yan Yu would be marrying into the Fourth Prince's mansion.
"Princess, is it true, as the rumors say, that Princess Yan Yu is going to marry our master?" Nianxue asked in surprise.
"That depends on whether Fourth Master believes this rumor! Nianxue, I always feel that this so-called rumor appeared very suddenly?" Lanqin felt that this matter was too strange, as if someone had planned it in advance. The words spoken by the Fujin and her sister Yan Yu just now were so coincidental that it was hard not to be suspicious.
“Yes, this drought has lasted for so long, how come such a rumor suddenly appeared? And coincidentally, the person whose name contains the water element in all five of their names is in our mansion, and our master happens to be the one who presides over the sacrificial ceremony to heaven! How can such a coincidence happen!” Nianxue couldn’t help but express her doubts.
As the mistress and servant spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the south courtyard. Before they could even knock, the door opened from the inside, and Li Shubao, who was about to leave, saw Lanqin and said happily, "Princess, you're finally back! Come in quickly, Master has just arrived and is in your room!"
"What? Fourth Master is back?" Lanqin could hardly believe her ears.
"Master is back, he's in your room!" Li Shubao repeated.
Lanqin's face gradually filled with a smile. Yes, she was indeed very surprised! It had been a week since she had seen Fourth Master! Especially after talking about that rumor, Lanqin realized how much she cared about Fourth Master. She almost couldn't help but want to rush in immediately, but when she thought of her status, she suppressed her excitement and walked into the house on the flowerpot-soled shoes.
When Lanqin saw that familiar figure, she felt a surge of excitement, but she resisted the urge to rush forward and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Master, you're back!"
The Fourth Prince was reclining on her master couch, resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the little princess's voice, he smiled and said directly, "Bring them water in and help them wash and change. I'm tired, come and sleep with me!"
Normally, Lanqin would have acted haughtily and pretentiously, but at this moment, she said to Nianxue behind her without hesitation, "Go, do as Master says!"
Nianxue immediately turned around to fetch water and helped Lanqin and the Fourth Master wash up. After that, the maids quickly withdrew.
Having been holding back for so long, our Fourth Master had been longing for Lanqin's body for ages. He grabbed Lanqin and rolled her onto the bed. This time, Lanqin didn't resist at all, letting Fourth Master do whatever he wanted!
After some foreplay, Fourth Master finally couldn't resist and, while Lanqin was lost in passion, he thrust into her body. Immediately afterward, a series of violent thrusts ensued, and Lanqin couldn't help but sob. Only when she was so overwhelmed by the impact that she begged for mercy did Fourth Master gradually withdraw his fierce attack, and the two reached a blissful climax together!
The Fourth Prince held the little princess in his arms for a while, then, seeing that Lanqin remained motionless, said, "Keep talking to me!"
Lanqin remained motionless for a long time before finally saying in an annoyed tone, "I don't even have the strength to speak. If you want to speak, then speak. I'll just listen."
Fourth Master couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't seen this little thing for a week, and the moment he stepped into the manor, he came straight here without going anywhere else. Judging from her tone, she was even blaming the First Master for making her too tired!
"Have you heard any rumors while you were in the manor?" Fourth Master propped himself up with one hand and lay on his side, embracing Lanqin, whose back was to him.
"Is it true that only if Master marries a woman whose five elements are associated with water can he move the heavens to send down rain?" Lanqin gradually regained her strength, and when she heard Fourth Master bring up this matter, she also became interested in talking.
"How did you know it was me who was going to marry him?" Fourth Master was surprised that Lanqin already knew that he was the one to be married at the sacrificial ceremony!
"It's just a guess. The master is in the Ministry of Revenue, and he's been in the palace for several days in a row this time, probably because of this matter," Lanqin said.
"What do you think of this matter?" Even the Fourth Prince himself did not expect that when he stepped into the Fourth Prince's mansion, the first person he wanted to see was Lanqin.
"I don't believe in such things as fate. Besides, the fact that it doesn't rain isn't because there's a God who controls everything, but because of changes in the weather and air currents. My lord, don't worry, it will definitely rain." Lanqin had no choice but to use her knowledge from three hundred years in the future to answer the Fourth Prince.
"Weather and airflow?" Fourth Master repeated these four words.
“Yes, sir, we have Western missionaries here, we can ask them. I’ve heard that the West studied weather earlier than our Great Qing.” Lanqin couldn’t really explain the meaning of these terms to the Fourth Prince, so she could only steer them towards Westerners.
"And what about this rumor?" Fourth Master asked again.
"Just before you came to my courtyard, did you know where I was?" Lanqin asked.
"I heard from your maid that she went to the small garden to cool off," said the Fourth Master.
