Ruoyin and the Fourth Master have used meals countless times.

This is the first time like this one who sits by the beach and eats candlelight dinner.

The red candle sways gently in the sea breeze.

The faint light and fire exudes a romantic atmosphere.

This made Ruoyin and the Fourth Master enjoy it slowly.

Because in this case, people will put aside the pressure of fast-paced life, calm down, and enjoy such a leisurely rest time.

Or maybe, it is rare for them to have such a moment and want to enjoy it for a while.

After the meal, Ruoyin and the Fourth Master had a tea, and both stood on the railings of the flower room, blew the sea breeze and watched the night view.

The sea at night is deep and more charming than at dusk.

Stars are embedded in the sky, so dazzling.

Just as Ruoyin was so immersed in the eyes of the stars, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky.

"Swish, bang, boom boom boom!"

At first, Ruoyin thought it was thunder, and her body trembled involuntarily.

As a result, the Fourth Master was immediately entangled in his arms.

The man pointed to the fireworks in the sky and teased: "It's fine if you can't tell the difference between the lake and the sea, but you can't even recognize the fireworks?"

Ruoyin looked up in the direction he pointed, and saw a large area of ​​golden fireworks pouring down like a meteor.

She pounded his chest in anger and said, "I hate it, and I don't even say hello to set off fireworks."

Moreover, the Fourth Master took her to the beach, and it was a candlelight dinner, a romantic flower room, a lotus, shells, lanterns, and a walk in the beach.

She thought there was nothing else.

Who knows there are surprises?

After the fireworks were set off, the surroundings returned to peace.

The Fourth Master hugged the woman in his arms, lowered his head and scraped the tip of her nose, and asked lightly: "Do you like the sea?"

"like."

"Why?"

"No reason."

"There must be a reason."

Ruoyin leaned on the Fourth Master's shoulder and thought for a while, and said, "Because the sea is dark blue, like a dream in my heart. I also like the sea breeze and waves, and because I like you by my side, I like it even more."

Fourth Master: "..."

"Your Majesty, do you like the sea?" Ruoyin asked back.

"like."

"Why?"

"Because you like it, and even more because you say that the sea is dark blue, which looks like the dream in your heart." His voice was as deep as the sea, as if a casual gust of sea breeze could melt into the deep sea.

To translate this sentence, the literary point is: it is related to you, and everyone likes it.

To put it simply, I love the house and the nuggets, because you like it, so I like it.

Ruoyin felt drunk all over her heart, her entire mouth was rising, and her heart was so sharp that it was sweet.

However, I remembered what the Fourth Master said during the day.

He said that Hangzhou was the last stop of the southern tour and was about to return to Beijing.

Thinking of this, she held her lips and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to go back to the palace soon. Would you not be so good to others?"

"As far as you are concerned, I am not treating you well in the palace?" The Fourth Master lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms, "Did I tell you to be unable to eat, wear and warm, or to abuse you?"

"No." When he was in the palace, he was not as good to her now.

But when he was in the Forbidden City, he was also busier than he is now.

Compared to the concubines in the harem, he treats her very well.

But she just felt uneasy.

That kind of uneasiness is ultimately insecure.

So she climbed his neck and said coquettishly: "Master, do you love me?"

Fourth Master: "..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, she continued to pester him and asked, "Yinzhen, do you love me?"

Last time she secretly asked him if he liked her, he secretly avoided her questions.

This time, she asked directly.

When the Fourth Master heard this question, he was slightly stunned.

Love? The first time someone asked him if he loved her?

What is love?

In his circle, he had never seen love.

Whether it is family affection or love.

To be honest, he didn't understand very much.

Because in his life, there are too many things that are more important than love.

But he still held his lips and was about to answer her.

Ruoyin saw the Fourth Master’s thin lips lightly open, and before he spoke, she said, “Don’t listen to those perfunctory things, listen carefully.”

The Fourth Master laughed softly and said docilely: "Look at you to be smart."

After pondering for a while, he focused on her eyes and said, "Now the situation in the court is stable, and the princes have grown up. It's time for them to stand alone."

After pausing, he continued, "Don't you always think about going back to the Old Summer Palace? Then I will live in the Old Summer Palace with you."

Ruoyin: "..."

She could understand that the Fourth Master wanted the prince to succeed to the throne.

He and she retreated to the Old Summer Palace and became the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

However, the Fourth Master kept hiding the secret letter from the crown prince behind the plaque of Zhengda Guangming, the Qianqing Palace.

And he has always been a rigorous person and will not talk to the public casually until that step.

So, she always knew how to behave and never asked who he had established, and she had never even tried it.

However, looking around, the princes in the harem are relatively young and have not yet started a family.

"Your Majesty, they are still young now. Wouldn't it be bad to let them stand alone so early?"

"What's wrong with it? Huang Kao ascended the throne at the age of eight."

"But Huangkao ascended the throne after the death of Emperor Shizu. If Emperor Shizu had lived for several years, it would not have been so heavy responsibility for Huangkao when he was eight years old."

"Facts have proven that ability has nothing to do with age. If you are a capable person in the country, even an eight-year-old child is dozens of times stronger than a young man in his decades or even a middle-aged man."

Ruoyin: "..."

She remembered that when Emperor Kangxi had just passed away, the treasury was deficient, the ministers colluded with each other, the government was corrupt, and the princes were still young.

Kangxi handed over the throne to the Fourth Master, and of course the Fourth Master could not let down Emperor Kangxi's painstaking efforts and expectations.

After the Fourth Master ascended the throne, the national treasury was sufficient, and the remnants of the previous dynasty were eliminated, and the corruption phenomenon improved a lot.

The Fourth Master has lived up to Emperor Kangxi's expectations.

And at that time, if he did not ascend the throne and the throne fell into the hands of others, those brothers would not let him go.

But now it’s different. Of course, I feel at ease to hand it over to my son.

The only thing I am worried about is probably because the secret establishment of the crown prince was not trained in a concentrated manner.

However, over the years, the Fourth Master has been strict with the princes, and the princes are all excellent.

When Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, he was assisted by Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Nowadays, if the crown prince is not experienced enough, wouldn’t he still have the teachings of the Fourth Master, who has been the emperor?

Although Ruoyin didn't hear the Fourth Master say "I love you for the rest of my life."

But the Fourth Master secretly pointed out that he had retreated to the court and went to the Old Summer Palace with her to spend a leisurely life.

For her, this kind of words is even more rare than the three words "I love you".

Because if he says love, if he does something hurtful, it would be better to say these practical words.

Moreover, for men like the Fourth Master, the domineering love words and sarcastic words, they can be opened.
