"The Queen is gone, and the throne is now vacant. I'm planning to make you the Queen next year. What do you think?"
Wen Mianmian's eyes widened, and she suddenly jumped up from the Fourth Master's arms, saying in shock: "Master, I, I can't do this."
Although she knew that the Fourth Master would have this idea, when Wen Mianmian actually heard the Fourth Master say this to her, she felt helpless and nervous.
She had never dreamed of that position. In her eyes, the position of queen was not only a symbol of status, but also required her to deal with many affairs of the harem, which was exhausting and stressful.
The Fourth Master noticed Mianmian's nervousness and concerns, so he took her hand and whispered, "Mianmian, I know what you're worried about, but this position belongs to you. Do you want to wait for me to be buried with someone else after a hundred years?"
"You dare, hurry up and say 'bah, bah, bah, bah?'"
When Wen Mianmian heard him say this, she glared at him fiercely. How could he say such words casually?
When the Fourth Master saw Mianmian like this, he immediately became intimidated, "Okay, bah, bah, bah, I was wrong, but what I said is also true. Mianmian, don't you want to be a real husband and wife with me?" The Fourth Master held Mianmian's hand, and his fingers gently stroked her palm.
Not a concubine, but a real couple in name only.
"Well, of course I have thought about it. Who would want to be a concubine when they can become the principal wife?" She hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey.
But if she became the queen, she would be busy every day, and she felt that if that happened, she would be driven crazy sooner or later.
Seeing her like this, the Fourth Master knew what she was worried about at the moment, so he said:
"If Mianmian is here to manage the harem, then you don't have to worry about this at all. There are so many maids in the harem. I'll send a few good ones over. You can just hand these things over to them. You don't have to do everything yourself. You just need to check the account books occasionally to see if anyone is taking kickbacks or cooking the books."
Wen Mianmian felt better after hearing what the Fourth Master said.
Wen Mianmian said proudly, "Well, then, since the master has said so, if I don't give him face, it would seem that I am very ignorant."
She lowered her head and placed a kiss on his handsome face, then whispered in his ear, "Thank you, Master."
The Fourth Master's throat tightened when he heard her soft voice. He put his big hands around her waist and brought her back into his arms.
He stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, saying lovingly, "Little naughty girl, wait and see how I deal with you tonight."
——
Time soon arrived at the night of the Lotus Lantern Festival.
The capital city is decorated with lights and is very lively during these few days. Many people will go out to play with close friends or families on this day.
There were all kinds of acrobatics, lantern viewing and riddle guessing. Wen Mianmian and the Fourth Master also wore ordinary clothes on this day and walked through the bustling and lively streets.
When seeing various exquisite lotus lanterns and riddles, Wen Mianmian would pull the Fourth Master to stop for a moment. If she came across a lotus lantern she liked, Wen Mianmian would even pull the Fourth Master out to guess the riddles.
The Fourth Master was the Emperor, so how could these riddles stump him? So in less than half an incense stick of time, Wen Mianmian and Shan Cha had many more exquisite and small lotus lanterns in their hands.
They had won them all, which made Wen Mianmian very happy. The two of them continued to have fun here.
Just then, Wen Mianmian saw a stall selling various animal masks not far away. On a whim, Wen Mianmian pulled the Fourth Master over.
As soon as I got there, I saw an exquisite fox mask on the stall.
She picked up the mask, compared it to her face, and asked with a smile, "Master, do you think this looks good?"
The Fourth Master took a serious look at it, nodded, and said, "It looks great, and suits Mian Mian very well."
At this time, the vendor smiled and praised: "Madam, you are as beautiful as a fairy. This fox mask looks the best. This fox mask is also the best-selling one here."
She was willing to listen to any nice words. She asked Shancha to pay the money, then she took the Fourth Master's arm and continued walking forward. It seemed that the two of them were just like an ordinary loving couple strolling in this bustling street.
The two of them went to the river together to release lanterns. Looking at the bright lanterns floating on the river, their mood became happy.
The moonlight shines on the bright river surface, and the lanterns complement each other like a magnificent painting.
Wen Mianmian held the Fourth Master's hand, and the two of them snuggled up to each other, admiring the beautiful scenery on the river.
It was at this moment that colorful fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky across the river, illuminating the entire night sky.
Wen Mianmian looked up at the opposite side in surprise and said excitedly: "Master, look, it's fireworks, so beautiful."
The Fourth Master gazed down at her lovingly and said gently, "Yes, she is just as beautiful as Mianmian."
Wen Mianmian glanced at him and said coquettishly, "You're so smooth-talking."
The Fourth Master lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "That's only for Mianmian." Then he hugged Mianmian in his arms and kissed her uncontrollably.
It was dark where the two were standing. At this time, everyone's attention was on the fireworks and they didn't notice the affection between the two people here.
On the way back to the palace, the two walked back hand in hand, looking at each other from time to time with deep affection in their eyes. Shan Cha and Su Peisheng could only follow from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
Suddenly, someone on the street shouted, "Come on, catch the thief! That bastard stole all my money. Is he going to let me live?"
Just at this moment, a dark shadow ran towards them. The Fourth Master's face darkened. He looked around, then grabbed the turntable hanging on the stall next to him and threw it at the thief's kneecap.
The thief fell to his knees the moment he was hit by this thing. There were also many people around who were willing to stand up for justice. They rushed forward and caught the thief.
The aunt whose purse was stolen took it back from the thief and swung her arms at the thief's face.
"I told you to steal, why don't you learn something else? Why did you learn to steal? And you dare to steal from me? I will beat you to death."
The woman cursed the thief fiercely and hit him in the face with both hands.
The little thief was beaten until he burst into tears, and there was cheering from all around.
Seeing this, the Fourth Master and Wen Mianmian did not stay long and took Mianmian away by a detour.
On the way, Wen Mianmian looked at the Fourth Master with eyes that were almost starry. She exclaimed in admiration, "The Fourth Master is really amazing."
That move just now was really cool.
