Inside the room, Helian Ci was helped by palace servants to remove his outer garments and have the silver needles removed from his porcelain-white legs. One foot had already stepped into a wooden tub filled with the scent of herbs.

Hearing the little girl's soft, worried voice, her pale face was adorned with a slight upturn of her exceptionally red lips.

Okay, my little coward.

Inside the room, Helian Ci was immersed in a steamy bathtub, his eyes closed, and fine beads of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead as he suppressed the discomfort in his legs.

outside the house,

Helian You sat on a stool brought over by a tall guard, eating a steamed osmanthus cake that had just been made in the small kitchen.

As for the little girl Helian Mousisi, she looked like a little old man, with her chubby little hands behind her back and her delicate little eyebrows furrowed.

He walked back and forth on the corridor outside Helian Ciwu's door, his short legs pacing back and forth.

Liu Ruyan sat to Helian You's left, munching on a piece of osmanthus cake, watching the little girl for a while.

The more I looked at him, the bigger his smile became, and the deeper his dimples grew. Finally, I couldn't help but tease him.

"Goodness gracious! You know what, the way you look right now really makes you look just like a husband anxiously waiting outside while his wife is giving birth! Hahahaha!"

"Huh? Huh?"

Sisi successfully stopped pacing back and forth, her anxious little hands behind her back, and then she scratched her head sheepishly.

"Really, really like that?"

Sisi looked at his third brother, who was sitting on a stool, taking small bites of osmanthus cake, and asked as if seeking confirmation.

Helian You's dark, bright eyes met the little girl's eyes. He pursed his lips, but ultimately decided not to lie to her and nodded.

Mou Sisi: "..."

Slightly embarrassed, she withdrew her little hands and stood still. It was strange, something that made the five-year-old feel awkward.

A noise came from the palace gate.

Everyone looked up and saw Helian Nie, who was dressed in a crimson dragon robe, handsome yet exuding an extremely cold and fierce aura.

Beside him was Wenren Yu, equally handsome, but waving a watercolor fan and exuding a frivolous and carefree air.

Liu Ruyan was still leisurely eating osmanthus cake with her legs crossed.

He quickly straightened his unseemly crossed legs, holding the remaining osmanthus cake in his hand.

She was also discreetly put away, and with lightning speed, she straightened her elegant and dignified goddess image.

The presence of handsome men exuded elegance, poise, and composure.

"Father!"

When Helian Mou Si Si saw Helian Nie, her rosy cheeks lit up with a sparkle in her eyes.

With a sweet and cheerful voice, she took off running off with her chubby little legs.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

"Your Majesty, this humble servant greets you and Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Consort Lian was standing at the doorway, anxiously looking inside, her eyes practically burning with longing, when she heard the noise from the palace gate behind her...

Turning around, he saw the grand imperial procession, with Helian Nie leading the way, and hurriedly leading a group of palace servants from Yongqing Palace to pay their respects.

At this moment, the little boy Helian Mousi had already run up to Helian Nie.

A hint of a smile appeared on Helian Nie's handsome face. He bent down and picked up the little Helian Mousi.

"Smack~!"

Without saying a word, Sisi leaned in and planted a sweet, soft kiss on Helian Nie's face, smiling broadly.

"Is Father Emperor here to see my brothers and Sisi?"
