On Helian Nie's handsome face, a barely perceptible smile curved his thin, crimson lips. He raised his hand and beckoned to the little bundle of joy hiding behind the carved wooden door.

A hint of pleasure flickered in his narrow, peach-blossom eyes, while his cold, sinister voice sounded nonchalant.

"come over."

Wenren Yu paused slightly as she sipped her tea, her gaze falling on the hint of pleasure in Helian Nie's eyes, and a sense of astonishment and surprise washed over her.

Helian Si's eyes lit up, and his small figure emerged from behind the carved wooden door, his short arms carrying the dragon robe.

Lifting her short legs was a bit of a struggle, because this threshold was indeed higher than the others.

Helian Nie rested one hand on his chin, his crimson dragon robe billowing in the wind, his devilishly handsome face adorned with a pair of narrow, almond-shaped eyes...

His gaze fell on the tiny bundle at the threshold, where Sisi's little hands, clutching the dragon robe, tightened even more.

On her rosy little face, she frowned slightly, sniffed, and then raised her short legs once more.

"clatter."

Finally, the little girl successfully stepped over the high threshold, clutching the large dragon robe in her arms.

There was Sisi, clutching the dragon robe, the little girl letting out a big sigh of relief, her little mouth pouting and murmuring softly.

"Oh dear~ This is really tough on Sisi!"

"Pfft—!"

Wenren Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. If she hadn't swallowed the tea in time, she would have spat it out.

Oh my goodness, this little princess is so funny!

And "Eek yo~", what a strange word, but the little princess can say it so fluently, it's so funny hahaha!

Suddenly, she felt a chilling gaze fall upon her, and then she saw the smile on Wenren Yu's handsome face, as if painted with ink.

It stopped instantly, and I felt a chill run down my spine, and even my back straightened up a bit at that moment.

Seeing that the boy had behaved himself, Helian Nie casually withdrew his gaze, only to be immediately surrounded by a soft, milky little body that pounced into his arms.

"Father Emperor, Father Emperor, Sisi is here! Hugs, hugs, hugs~!"

The little girl's voice was sweet and soft, and her fluffy little head was still nestled in Helian Nie's arms, nuzzling around like a clingy little kitten.

Helian Nie raised an eyebrow, and with a slight exertion of his arm, lifted the little dumpling onto his lap. For some reason...

Helian Nie recalled the time that ugly thing sat on his lap and farted, and his brow twitched.

His narrow, peach-blossom eyes looked at the little girl sitting on his lap, hesitating whether to let the little girl stand or not.

There was no other way; the complete piece of jade that the Biyue Kingdom had presented as tribute was enough to make this jade table and two jade stools.

Sensing her baby's strange gaze, Mou Sisi tilted her rosy little face up to meet her baby's eyes—a pair of grape-like, watery eyes.

Blinking innocently, what are you doing, little one? Have you finally discovered the irresistible charm of my invincible little cutie?

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

Just as the father and daughter were staring at each other, a voice that was extremely tactless rang out.

Wenren Yu, who had somehow stood up from the jade stool, was bowing and paying his respects to Helian Si.

In the height of summer, amidst the chirping of cicadas, before the paulownia tree, a figure in a long satin blue robe fluttered in the wind. A glance revealed a striking beauty mark, like a painted portrait, instantly dazzling Helian, the infatuated woman.
