"The breeze is blowing gently, the birds are chirping, the puppies are running slowly, the kittens are laughing secretly, the house is quiet, and the baby is sleeping."
Dugu Mingyue hummed nursery rhymes and coaxed little Nianxia to sleep.
They were safe. From the moment she saw the emperor at King Yin's mansion in the imperial city of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, she confirmed that they were safe.
Xuanyuan Jing sat by the bed, quietly looking at Xiao Nianxia's cute little face, his eyes soft.
Seeing Dugu Mingyue and Xiao Nianxia again made her deeply moved, and she felt as if she was in another world.
Having been wandering around for so long, I feel a sense of trance at this moment, as if I have returned to the great Xia Dynasty.
The silence of time flows like thick honey, and the room seems to be stained with a layer of frosting.
There is obviously no unnecessary dialogue, but it is so sweet that it makes people feel at ease and intoxicated.
It wasn't until Xiao Nianxia fell asleep under the blanket that Dugu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, her whole body visibly tired.
"It's really tiring to take care of a child, thank you so much." Xuanyuan Jing hugged Dugu Mingyue, the waves collided, and the situation was great:
"Zhao Wujiang should say this, but he hasn't returned yet, and I don't know where he went to hang out."
Dugu Mingyue let out a heavy breath and relaxed completely. She hugged Xuanyuan Jing gently, feeling so at ease that some sadness in her heart also surged up.
"When he comes back, give him a good scolding. He must be fierce at all times." Xuanyuan Jing patted Dugu Mingyue's back.
"Yeah." Dugu Mingyue hummed, but she couldn't tell. Xuanyuan Jing seemed to be reproaching, but in fact he was very worried.
Zhao Wujiang has not returned yet, and he must have encountered many obstacles on the way.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Xuanyuan Jing asked softly again, but received no reply and she did not ask again.
Just like this, he patted Dugu Mingyue's back, just like before when Dugu Mingyue coaxed Xiao Nianxia to sleep.
She knew that Dugu Mingyue must be exhausted from running around, especially the exhaustion in her heart and the constant fear, which had already penetrated Dugu Mingyue's endurance.
But being a mother means being strong, and Dugu Mingyue has been holding on until now.
Go to sleep, the weather will be nice tomorrow... Xuanyuan Jing smiled softly, she liked reunions and wished there would be no more separation in the world.

The afterglow of sunset hangs on my body.
The setting sun divided Zhao Wujiang into two parts. Facing the light, his body stood tall against the sky, while the black shadow falling on the ground was long and deep.
Every time the body of light takes a step, darkness follows it like a shadow.
"Dong dong dong."
Zhao Wujiang knocked on the door knocker of the palace. Someone from the palace hurriedly opened the door. When he saw the visitor, he immediately bowed:
"Your Highness."
"Yeah." Zhao Wujiang smiled gently and walked towards the dormitory.
When he came to the door of the dormitory, he saw Qing'er holding a sword and guarding the door.
Qing'er is still the same Qing'er she used to be, but it's just that her sharp horns have only been revealed since she was a child, and she has grown into waves like angry waves and peaks like mountains.
She still looks pretty, but a little more sassy and cool, and a little less shy and playful.
Zhao Wujiang smiled softly and stretched out his hands.
Qing'er snorted and turned away, but the next moment, she rushed over and fell into his arms and cried bitterly.
Several breaths of silence.
He gently rubbed Qing'er's hair, wanting to say some comforting words.
But before the words were spoken, Qing'er suddenly raised her head, neatly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, let go of the hand holding him, and pointed to the room:
"Sister and...sister...and Xiao Nianxia are waiting for you."
"Um."
Zhao Wujiang's face was full of warmth. He took Qing'er's hand and pushed open the door of the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, the villain Zhao Wujiang would like to see you."
