"Steward Lin, Little Mink is out. Can we go in and serve him now?" several eunuchs asked one after another.
They had just been ordered to leave by His Majesty, and in their minds, His Majesty did this simply because he was afraid they would disturb Little Sable's sweet dreams. So when Phoenix Cloud Sable came out, all the palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but ask in this way.
An Honghan didn't come out? But Xi Xizhi couldn't find him just now!
Xi Xizhi was absolutely certain that there was no place in the Imperial Study where someone as big as An Honghan could be hidden.
Besides, An Honghan wouldn't deliberately play hide-and-seek with her and hide away, would he?
Hearing the eunuchs say this, Xi Xizhi was filled with a mixture of doubts.
Just then, the door to the Imperial Study creaked open.
An Honghan pushed open the door and stepped out.
Xi Xizhi's eyes widened in disbelief. An Honghan hadn't been inside just moments before! How could he have come out?
An Honghan never cared about the opinions of others.
But the moment he came into the little ferret's view, An Honghan frowned, bent down and picked it up.
"I was wondering why you disappeared. Turns out you've sneaked out again."
Xi Xizhi felt extremely angry at the person who had stolen her lines.
You were the one who disappeared just now, how can you accuse me first?
Xi Xizhi's emotions did not escape An Honghan's notice. His brows furrowed more and more tightly. It was clear that after Xiao Diao woke up, he had discovered some clues. However, it was not time to explain yet, and An Honghan did not want to tell Xi Xizhi too many things.
He gently stroked its fur. "Go inside and serve it."
Now that His Majesty had given the order, all the eunuchs and palace maids went in with hearts full of anxiety.
Xi Xizhi's little brain wasn't very bright to begin with, and now she was even more confused by An Honghan's sudden disappearance and reappearance.
"Some things will be revealed when it's your turn to know." Not wanting the little ferret to investigate the truth, An Honghan said, "Knowing too much won't do you any good. Didn't you used to worry that knowing too many secrets would shorten your lifespan?"
An Honghan's warning successfully scared off the curious little ferret. Just as An Honghan had expected, Xi Xizhi's curious little heart was already planning to go inside to see if there were any mechanisms. Who knew that An Honghan's words would completely stop her from exploring.
Although Xi Xizhi did not investigate the matter, every time he entered the Imperial Study, he could not help but look around, trying to find some clues.
But how could the meticulous An Honghan possibly reveal even the slightest flaw?
Seeing the little ferret's eyes constantly darting around, I felt helpless.
After finishing his official duties, An Honghan neatly folded the memorials, picked up the little sable, and returned to Panlong Palace.
As usual, An Honghan dismissed all the other palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only Xi Xizhi and An Honghan in the vast Panlong Hall.
After taking a bath, An Honghan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Why aren't you transforming back? Do I have to tell you before you'll turn back into human form?"
Although he liked Xi Xizhi's beast form, compared to that, Xi Xizhi's human form had expressions, which allowed An Honghan to see through a child's emotions at a glance.
Xi Xizhi, who was called out, was stunned for a moment, then shook off her wet hair.
Living in the form of a mink is indeed a bit inconvenient.
However, since he is constantly changing between human and animal forms, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be discovered one day.
Upon realizing this, Xi Xizhi suddenly no longer wanted to transform back into human form.
What if someone finds out about this?
“I never like to say things a second time…” An Honghan raised his eyebrows, seemingly very dissatisfied that Xi Xizhi still hadn’t made a move.
Xi Xizhi was most afraid of An Honghan's gloomy face. She quickly turned her head to look at An Honghan, and was so frightened that she immediately used her chubby little legs to rush behind the screen, ran to the cabinet, and started looking for her clothes.
With her back to An Honghan's burning gaze, Xi Xizhi activated her spiritual power, forcing herself to transform.
Xi Xizhi was already very skilled at the art of transformation.
When he transforms into human form, he grabs the clothes and puts them on cleanly and efficiently.
Just as she was about to finish dressing, Xi Xizhi suddenly had a strange feeling, as if there was something she hadn't done but couldn't remember it.
Trying hard to recall the order in which she had put on her clothes, Xi Xizhi mistakenly thought she had put them on incorrectly, which was why she had this strange feeling.
Seeing that Xi Xizhi had been standing behind the screen for a long time without coming out, An Honghan put down his teacup and went over. He immediately saw the little brat looking at him with a troubled expression. "What's with that expression?"
An Honghan has already taken care of anyone who dared to mess with her.
Besides, there aren't many people who dare to offend her now, and everyone will try their best to tolerate Xi Xizhi out of respect for him.
"I don't know either," Xi Xizhi answered honestly, but she felt a little uneasy. She must have forgotten something. She asked An Honghan uncertainly, "Is there something I forgot to do?"
An Honghan glanced at Xi Xizhi from head to toe, his gaze lingering on the little boy's back. He seemed to notice something strange and nodded to her.
"What exactly is it?" Xi Xizhi blinked, looking innocent and romantic.
An Honghan deliberately walked around her twice, saying, "You can try to think of something else..."
A smile played at the corners of his lips. An Honghan seemed to really like the child's bewildered, lamb-like appearance, especially those bright, clear blue eyes, which seemed to be the most precious treasure in the world.
Frowning, Xi Xizhi racked her brains but still couldn't figure out why, so she pretended to be angry and said, "Tell me."
"Why should I say it? What benefit would I gain from it?" An Honghan loved teasing the little sable and would never let go of any opportunity to take advantage of it.
Benefits? Xi Xizhi blinked again, thinking to herself, you have everything, so why are you always so stingy?
"A...kiss?" Xi Xizhi blurted out the words with her little face flushed. It's no wonder Xi Xizhi thought that way. Every time she made a request, didn't An Honghan always say "kiss, hug, and cuddle"? The little girl was almost used to it, so when she heard An Honghan asking for a reward, she naturally thought of that.
