The sleeping little bandit held the bracelet he had given her on her right wrist with her left hand, a faint smile on her lips.

She was clearly happy, so happy that she was even in her dreams.

Seeing this, Shang Xiye felt slightly relieved. As long as she didn't hate him, as long as she still had feelings for him, that was fine.

As for the rest, he'll make plans after he's figured out the situation.

In short, he has already claimed his little wife, and no one can take her away, not even the old immortal in her dreams!

With a soft sigh, Shang Xiye gently embraced the adorable little thing and carried her back to the bed.

I woke up the next day.

Ji Fengyao realized she had run back into Shang Xiye's arms. She scratched her head, wondering if her sleepwalking problem was still not cured.

But never mind, this is my master, not just anyone, so a hug is nothing.

Thinking about this made her feel incredibly happy. She looked up and greeted Shang Xiye sweetly, "Your Highness, good morning!"

"Good morning, Your Highness," Shang Xiye said softly.

The little thing looked so sweet, soft, and adorable; he really wanted to hug and kiss her. But remembering that she had hidden in the dark room last night, he could only hold back until he understood the situation, afraid of scaring her away again.

After getting up, washing up, and changing clothes, Ji Fengyao was all smiles that morning.

Even Granny Cui could sense her good mood: "The princess is truly filial. It's the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet today, and the princess got up early this morning and is so happy. I imagine the Empress Dowager will be very pleased to see the princess with such a good smile."

Ji Fengyao chuckled twice but didn't reply.

She was in a good mood because she had found her master, and it had nothing to do with that heartless old hag, the Empress Dowager.

Ji Fengyao, accompanied by her three maids, and Shang Xiye, accompanied by Wuying, went out the door.

Just before boarding the train.

The magpie crept closer and whispered, "Miss, you said yesterday you were going to take care of the Prince, did you succeed?"

Ji Fengyao almost fell down the steps leading to the vehicle: "Cough, cough!"

Little magpie, are you some kind of enemy sent by heaven to pierce my heart?

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?

Shang Xiye pretended not to hear, and promptly reached out to help her, lifting her into the carriage: "Your Highness, please be careful."

Ji Fengyao looked up and saw him, and her mood instantly brightened: "Your Highness, your face is almost completely healed. There's just a tiny black spot the size of a mung bean left. You don't need to wear a mask anymore."

"Let's wear it for a while longer, so that those people will feel more at ease," Shang Xiye replied in a low voice. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he reached out and took off the mask.

Ji Fengyao: "..."

We just agreed to wear it for a while longer, didn't we?

“In front of the Princess, there is naturally no need to wear it anymore,” Shang Xiye said, bringing his handsome face closer. “Princess, please take a look. I still feel that this scar is a little itchy.”

Ji Fengyao: "..."

Your Highness, you can't even tolerate this slight itch, like being bitten by ants, can you?

She's getting more and more spoiled!

Ji Fengyao took out the ointment and carefully applied a layer to the dark spots on his face. He then clung to her and blew on it several times—it didn't hurt, so why bother blowing on it!

They really know how to cause trouble!

If she hadn't known that this was her own master, she would have kicked him out of the car and told him to go somewhere cool and stay there!

Upon arriving at the palace gate, the two got out of the carriage together.

By sheer coincidence, they happened to run into Lady Chen, accompanied by Chen Ziying, who was also getting out of the carriage.

Upon seeing Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, both mother and daughter gritted their teeth in hatred.

Due to her status, she had no choice but to follow the crowd and pay her respects to the Ninth Prince and his wife.
