Every time Yun Beiye sees her soft and adorable daughter, all her fatigue disappears.

Yun Duoduo skipped over to Yun Beiye and smiled sweetly at him.

Seeing that Yun Duoduo didn't intend to bow, Zhao Zhongquan coughed twice, covering his mouth, to remind her that she should bow.

Since ancient times, princes and princesses have always bowed to Yun Beiye, but the little princess always forgets to bow.

"Old Zhao, you can go out now. The little princess doesn't need to bow when she sees her father." Yun Beiye looked at Yun Duoduo with a smile. In common folk, daughters don't need to bow when they see their fathers. It's just that the etiquette in the palace is too restrictive.

"Ah?! Oh, this old servant will take his leave now." Zhao Zhongquan awkwardly touched his nose, feeling that he had been meddling.

When dealing with the little princess, we must be extra careful and not treat her like we would the other princes.

Serving the Emperor is truly not easy!

Yun Duoduo was small and short, not even as tall as the stool leg. Seeing this little one standing on tiptoe, looking up at him with difficulty, Yun Beiye felt a pang of heartache.

However, seeing her own daughter's round, dark nostrils and round chin, she couldn't help but laugh.

He bent down and hugged Yun Duoduo in his arms. "Duoduo, what brings you here?"

"Duoduo, worry about your father." The last time I saw him at Fushuang Palace, he looked very tired and seemed to have lost weight.

Yun Beiye felt a warm current flow through his heart upon hearing this. "Yes, she is truly Daddy's sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Duoduo, sit with Daddy for a while."

"Okay, Daddy, hug me."

Yun Beiye held the soft, fluffy Yun Duoduo in his arms, and Yun Duoduo nestled on Yun Beiye's shoulder.

[My father smelled very nice, not pungent at all, but a very light and pleasant fragrance.]

This must be the smell of ambergris!

Yun Beiye felt a sense of peace as he smelled the warm, milky scent of his daughter in his arms, and he closed his eyes to rest.

The clouds, bathed in sunlight and swayed by a gentle breeze, closed their eyes to savor the beauty.

Gradually, she also started to feel sleepy. [Sure enough, if you don't nap at noon, you'll collapse in the afternoon.]

She was usually very busy, practicing martial arts, cultivating internal strength, and learning medicine. She couldn't neglect any of them. In order to see her father, she could only cut back on her midday nap time to visit him.

Being a princess isn't easy! This level of intensity is almost as intense as the college entrance exam back in the day!

She lay relaxed and comfortable on Yun Beiye's body, and after a while, the father and daughter fell asleep.

Zhao Zhongquan, who was standing outside, was idly kicking pebbles at his feet when he saw this scene. He opened his mouth in surprise, "You can... take a nap like this?"

Zhao Zhongquan quietly dismissed the palace servants around him and closed the doors and windows.

Yun Duoduo smacked her lips sweetly.

Zhao Zhongquan listlessly looked up at the sky. [This must be what peaceful times are like.]

Suddenly, he was startled by a series of booming roars in his ears.

"Your Majesty!" A shout came from afar, the shout was very urgent.

Sun Huohuo, who was eating pastries in the pavilion, heard a familiar voice, turned around abruptly, and saw that it was his father. He then called out in a childish voice, "Daddy! Daddy!"

He waved his chubby little hands with great effort, hoping to get his father's attention.

However, Sun Ren did not hear it, or rather, he heard it but did not notice the shouts behind him, and continued to run wildly towards the gate of Zichen Palace.

"Dad!" Sun Huohuo shouted at the top of his lungs, his little face turning red, but his father wouldn't turn around to look at him.

"Hmph, Daddy's ignoring me, Huo Huo is angry!" Sun Huo Huo turned around, stopped calling out to Sun Ren, and sullenly munched on the pastry in her hand.

"Don't worry, Huo Huo, your father probably didn't hear you," Ah Xiang comforted Sun Huo Huo by patting his head.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a secret report from the Northern Frontier!" Sun Ren continued running and shouting. His legs were weak from running all the way, and he was panting heavily.

Zhao Zhongquan was startled by the shouts and jumped up. He looked up and squinted at the distance. He saw that the person who came was Sun Ren, the Minister of War.

"Alas, I'm getting old, I can't see clearly anymore. Judging by that burly and imposing figure, it should be Lord Sun."

Sun Ren held a letter in his hand and ran while shouting loudly.

"Oh dear, Lord Sun, since it's a secret report, why are you shouting so loudly?" Zhao Zhongquan said in a low voice.

He looked at Sun Ren with pity in his eyes.

[Lord Sun, I have disturbed His Majesty's sweet dreams. Do you find your life too long? Why are you in such a hurry to die?]

【Oh, Lord Sun, whatever this secret report may be, your timing is terrible. Serving the Emperor is no easy task.】

"Eunuch Zhao, I'm just in a hurry! Hey, among all the eunuchs and palace maids, why are you the only one here?" Sun Ren's voice was still very loud, and he was spitting as he spoke.

"Why are you looking at me like that? As if I'm about to die, and we haven't even gone to the battlefield yet!" Sun Ren looked at Zhao Zhongquan suspiciously.

The contents of the secret report were unknown to others, so why did Old Zhao act as if he knew I was going to the front lines?

"That look in his eyes is really ominous!" After saying that, he walked inside in a nonchalant manner.

While dodging the spittle flying at him, Zhao Zhongquan anxiously pleaded, "Oh dear, Lord Sun, don't shout, don't shout, His Majesty is sleeping!"

Sun Renhu's body trembled, his large, bell-like eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly covered his mouth with a thick, dark hand, his eyes darting around as he looked at Zhao Zhongquan for help.

But it was too late. Yun Duoduo and Yun Beiye had already been woken up, and Sun Ren had already pushed open the tightly closed door of Zichen Palace.

Yun Duoduo was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard this loud shout. Her heart rate soared, and she almost fell out of Yun Beiye's arms.

Fortunately, Yun Beiye held her tightly in his arms, preventing her from falling off.

Yun Duoduo felt like a koala clinging to Yun Beiye.

Yun Beiye seemed to feel Yun Duoduo's little body tremble slightly, and hurriedly looked down to see if the little dumpling in his arms had been frightened and cried.

Yun Duoduo only frowned, a somewhat displeased expression on her face, but she didn't cry.

"Hmm, as expected of my daughter, she has guts!"

"Why is it so noisy?" Yun Beiye opened his eyes and patted the little dumpling in his arms.

Yun Duoduo squinted slightly and reluctantly turned her head to look. She rubbed her eyes and saw that the person looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Oh, little princess, here too!" Sun Ren chuckled sheepishly, clearly regretting his earlier rashness.

"Yes, yes, I was rash."
