Somewhere in the house.

At this time, it was already late at night, the dark clouds half covered the moon, the vision was dim, and the warm candlelight in the room was refracted through the window, and a slender figure could be faintly seen.

Finally packing up the luggage, the waiter carried a pile of clothes and put it in the cupboard, while looking at the person sitting by the window and asked.

"Childe, do you want to take a bath now?"

Yan Xi answered, raised his eyes, and paused slightly when his gaze touched the cloak he was holding in his arms.

"You don't have to put this one away, hang it on the shelf."

The attendant sighed, subconsciously glanced at the clothes in his hand, and nodded clearly.

It's just that while carefully hanging the cloak, I don't forget to make fun of it.

"Does Childe miss His Royal Highness?"

Seeing that he seemed to be stunned, the attendant regretted mentioning this idea a little and comforted him.

"Your Highness may be too busy today to see you, after all, the holy decree has just been issued, and it will come in a few days."

Yan Xi's eyelashes twitched and she withdrew her gaze.

"I know, you go get some water."

It wasn't until the other party left that he couldn't help but look at the cloak again.

How could you not want to......

But after only one day of separation, he had already begun to miss the little girl.

even thought a little disrespectfully, if he could, he didn't want to be the righteous monarch of a country in the mouths of everyone, he just wanted to be the husband of His Royal Highness.

But no.

After Her Royal Highness became the empress, she not only had to worry about the world, but also maintain the balance of the harem, and she might not be able to see her for several days.

Just thinking about it so simply, I feel uncomfortable.

Yan Xi pursed her lips and put down the scroll in her hand.

Before he could calm down, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

He thought it was the attendant who had come back with something, and subconsciously looked sideways.

"What's wrong?"

The next moment, Gardenia appeared in his sight.

The little girl pulled the edge of the door to show a small head, looked around his room cautiously, and saw that there was no one else, so she swaggered in, and complained in a small tone.

"I'm tired."

The person who was still thinking about it just now suddenly appeared in front of him, Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and his tone was hesitant.

"Your Highness?"

Gardenia glanced at him inexplicably, thinking that he was asking himself why he came so late, so he honestly explained.

"I helped the fifth sister run to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After all, she came back after arranging the things over there, and the rest of the work was supervised by His Royal Highness Five, so she should help a little.

What's more, this is still her task.

When Yan Xi came back to his senses, a certain little girl had already consciously sat beside him, and then grabbed his hand and put it on his neck, and the small voice carried a softness that he couldn't hear.

"Knead!"

She must have come from a shower, her black hair was casually draped behind her, the ends of her hair were still damp, and her body was full of the scent of soaphorn and essential oils.

It's not thick, but it smells great when blended together.

Leaning into his arms so softly, it doesn't look like the usual domineering and noble appearance in front of people.

It's more real, and it's more exciting for him.

Yan Xi sighed lowly, and took the initiative to rub the little girl's neck, feeling a little distressed.

"Isn't it going to be busy after that?"

He kneaded it very comfortably, Gardenia unconsciously shrank into his arms, and subconsciously wanted to nod when he heard the words, but he realized something, the movement stopped in mid-air, and then he spoke a little depressed.

"Well, a lot of people came to me."

After saying this, she puffed up her small chest a little proudly.

"But I'm still done and I'm going to sleep with you!"

This time, Yan Xi did not persuade her to sleep in the palace, but moved her fingertips to press her temples.

"Do you want to rub it here?"
