In a certain house.
It was already late at night, the moon was half covered by dark clouds, and the vision was dim. The warm candlelight in the room was reflected through the window, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen.
After finally packing his luggage, the attendant carried a pile of clothes and put them in the cabinet while looking at the person sitting by the window and asking.
"Sir, do you want to take a bath now?"
Yan Xi responded, raised her eyes, and paused slightly when her eyes touched the cloak in his arms.
"There's no need to put this one away, just hang it on the shelf."
The attendant groaned, subconsciously glanced at the clothes in his hand, and nodded clearly.
But while hanging the cloak carefully, he didn't forget to deliberately joke.
"Master, do you miss His Highness?"
Seeing that he seemed stunned, the attendant regretted bringing up this idea and comforted him.
"Your Highness may have been too busy today to see you. After all, the imperial edict has just been issued, and he will be here in a few days."
Yan Xi's eyelashes trembled and she looked away.
"I know, 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 apart, he already started to miss the little girl.
He even thought with some disrespect, if possible, he didn't want to be the righteous king of the country as everyone said, he just wanted to be the husband of His Highness.
But no.
After Your Highness becomes the empress, she not only has to worry about the world, but also maintains the balance of the harem, and may not be able to see her for several days.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so uncomfortable.
Yan Xi pursed her lips and put down the book in her hand.
Before he could calm down, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
He thought the attendant had come back for something, and subconsciously glanced sideways.
"What's wrong?"
The next moment, Gardena appeared in his sight.
The little girl pulled open the edge of the door to reveal her little head, and cautiously looked around his room. When she saw that there was no one else, she walked in with a low voice and complained in a low voice.
"So tired."
The person she had been thinking about just now suddenly appeared in front of her. Yan Xi was stunned for a moment and her tone was hesitant.
"Your Highness?"
Zhi Nai glanced at him inexplicably, thinking he was asking why she came here so late, so she explained honestly.
"I helped Fifth Sister go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
After all, she came back after arranging things over there, and the rest of the work was supervised by His Highness the Fifth Prince alone, so it was only right to give her a little help.
Besides, this is still her mission.
By the time Yan Xi came back to her senses, a certain little girl had already sat next to him, grabbed his hand and put it on her neck, speaking in a soft voice that she could not recognize.
"Knead it!"
She must have come here after taking a shower. Her black hair was hanging loosely behind her, with moisture at the end. Her body was filled with the aroma of soap locust and essential oil.
It's not strong, but it smells very good together.
She leaned into his arms so softly, not at all like her usual domineering and noble appearance in front of others.
It was more real and more exciting to him.
Yan Xi sighed lowly and took the initiative to rub the little girl's neck, feeling a little distressed.
"Will you be very busy after that?"
He rubbed it very comfortably, and Gardenia shrank into his arms unconsciously. Hearing this, she subconsciously wanted to nod, but realized something, her movement stopped in mid-air, and then she spoke a little depressed.
"Well, a lot of people come to me."
After saying this, she puffed up her breasts a little proudly.
"But I still came to sleep with you after finishing it!"
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?"
