I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

Seeing this, Xiao Rong also stood up. Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze: "Although I have no special talents, I am willing to play a pipa tune for Your Majesty to add to the merriment."

Upon hearing this, Long Bin felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He smiled and nodded, signaling Xiao Rong to begin.

Xiao Rong then walked to the pipa beside her and gently plucked the strings. The pipa's sound was crisp and melodious, like the tinkling of a spring. The tune she played was melodious and graceful, as if it could tell all the joys and sorrows of human life.

The four princesses each displayed their talents, filling the hall with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere. Long Bin sat in the main seat, a surge of indescribable emotion and happiness welling up within him. He knew deeply that these beauties were the apple of his eye, an indispensable part of his life.

When the music ended, Long Bin stood up and walked to the four concubines, comforting them one by one.

He looked at Fu Yao with deep affection and said, "Fu Fei's singing voice is truly intoxicating; it's as if I'm hearing heavenly music."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yao smiled sweetly and bowed slightly, her voice clear and melodious like pearls falling on a jade plate: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I was just doing my best."

Long Bin then turned to Ning Mei, looking at the painting in her hand, and exclaimed, "Consort Ning's painting skills are truly breathtaking. This portrait is so lifelike, it seems to have captured my very essence."

Upon hearing this, Ning Mei smiled modestly, bowed slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I was just doing my best."

Long Bin then looked at Ning Lan, watching her graceful and beautiful dance, and said, "Consort Lan's dance is truly dazzling. I feel as if I have seen a fairy descend to earth."

Upon hearing this, Ning Lan smiled sweetly, bowed slightly, and said in a voice as sweet as honey, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I was just doing my best."

Finally, Long Bin looked at Xiao Rong, at the pipa in her hand, and said, "Consort Rong's pipa playing is truly clear and melodious, as if it can tell all the joys and sorrows of human life."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rong smiled gently. She bowed slightly and said in a voice as gentle as a spring breeze, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I was just doing my best."

Long Bin looked at the four beauties with deep affection and said, "You are all my beloved children, an indispensable part of my life. It is truly my good fortune to have you all gathered together today."

Upon hearing this, all four concubines smiled with gratitude.

They knew that Long Bin's love for them was sincere and profound.

They also knew how honorable and happy it was to be favored and respected as the concubines of the Prince of the South.

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the palace, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Long Bin enjoyed a rare and heartwarming time with his four concubines, spending time together as a family.

They talked about the little things in each other's lives, sharing their joys and sorrows.

In this place, there is no struggle for power, no disparity in status, only sincere feelings and deep friendship.

As time went by, night fell.

They knew that although the time they spent together was short, it would be enough to leave them with beautiful memories.

Xiao Rong asked Long Bin to stay with Fu Yao and the others tonight. Long Bin asked, "Are you jealous?"

"Eat!" Xiao Rong glared at him and turned back to her bedroom.

As night fell, Long Bin arrived at Fu Yao's palace. After washing up, the two went into the bedroom together.

A couple reunited after a long separation, their eyes filled with endless longing and deep affection in the soft candlelight.

Long Bin gently held Fu Yao's hand, as if afraid that she would disappear from his world again.

Fu Yao's eyes were slightly red as she nestled in Long Bin's arms, feeling that long-lost warmth and peace of mind.

After inquiring about the children's situation, Long Bin said softly, "Yao'er, you've worked hard these past few days."

Long Bin's voice was deep and gentle as he stroked Fu Yao's hair, his eyes filled with heartache.

Fu Yao's eyes welled up with tears: "No, as long as Your Majesty remembers me, everything is worth it."

They embraced tightly, as if trying to merge each other into their own bodies.

On this quiet night, they forgot the troubles and sorrows of the world, immersing themselves only in this deep affection and love.

Moonlight streamed into the bedroom through the window, adding a touch of romance and warmth to the couple's space. They smiled at each other, as if they had returned to that innocent and beautiful time.

Long Bin and Fu Yao finally ended their long separation and ushered in a heartwarming moment of reunion.

Under the dim light, the two figures slowly intertwined, as if it were a painting that fate had already laid out, waiting only for this moment of deep affection to be painted.

Fu Yao's eyes glistened with tears, a complex mix of longing and joy.

After asking about the children, Long Bin hugged her tightly, as if trying to make up for all the time they had missed. Their heartbeats resonated in each other's chests, each pulse telling of endless longing and love.

The moonlight, like water, gently bathed them, adding a touch of dreaminess and romance to this tender story.

They whispered to each other, sharing the little things they had done when they weren't together. Every detail seemed so precious. They held each other tightly, as if they wanted to meld each other into their very bones and never want to be apart again.

The three concubines, longing for their husband, traveled a thousand miles to meet him. That night, the stars shone brightly, and their love was boundless. He and they remained silent, their bodies conveying tenderness and endless affection...

The next day, Long Bin arrived at Canglong Temple in Songshan Canyon.

He told his father in detail about the four girls and that he already had five children.

When the real King Long Yunfu learned that Long Bin had secretly married four wives, he was so happy that he wept tears of joy.

He agreed with his son's proposal regarding the establishment of the Ning Mansion, and said with immense guilt, "Your mother is a virtuous woman. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a kind heart. I have failed her."

"I will not object to your establishment of the Ning Mansion. I will bestow upon the Ning Mansion the title of the Prince of Dinghai Mansion, and confer upon Fu Yao the title of Qian Consort, Ning Mei the title of Mei Consort, and Ning Lan the title of Xiang Consort. The three of them will regard Qian Consort as their elder sister and will all be Noble Consorts."

Long Bin knelt down to thank his father for bestowing the title.

Long Yunfu took his son's hand and said, "You now hold three titles: the First-Rank Prince, the Southern Prince, and the Sea-Stabilizing Prince. Let the Xiao family's daughter be made the mistress of the First-Rank Prince's Mansion and given the name Consort Hua."

Long Yunfu wrote four imperial edicts and gave four Buddhist prayer beads from his own body to his four wives.

These four Buddhist prayer beads are no ordinary beads. They were a gift from the Buddha of the Western Land thirty years ago when he was waging war against the Elephant Kingdom. Each bead is engraved with the characters for "dragon" and "Buddha".

As Long Bin was walking away with the imperial edict and Buddhist beads, Long Yunfu called out to him.

How old is Huai De?

“Father, Huai De is seven years old.” Long Bin was surprised that his father could remember his grandson’s name.

Long Yunfu took off the ring from his ring finger and handed it to Long Bin, saying, "Although he is not my eldest grandson, he is your mother's eldest grandson. This ring is for him."

When Long Bin saw his father give the ring that his great-grandfather had given him to Ning Huaide, he was so shocked that he knelt down and said, "Father, this ring is too precious. I beg you to take it back."
