I couldn't sleep on New Year's Day and was sitting by the window in a daze.
The sparrows were already asleep, and were even snoring softly.
On New Year's Day, I cautiously opened the door and went out. As soon as I turned around, I bumped into a slightly cool chest.
"Who is it?" Yuan Dan looked up and immediately met a pair of deep, dark eyes.
When Xiao Changqi arrived, he saw that there was still light in the room. His Majesty, who was originally going to go through the window, immediately changed his route and entered openly through the door.
But they never expected to run into New Year's Day when they were planning to sneak out.
Where to?
"Let's go for a walk." Yuan Dan took two steps back and left the man's embrace.
Seeing her aloof demeanor, Xiao Changqi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Don't you want to see me?"
"How could I dare?" Yuan Dan smiled, but still stood in the doorway. "But it's so dark now, it's probably not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together, is it?"
Xiao Changqi said without changing his expression, "What's inappropriate about it?"
They've shared a bed for so many days, so what's wrong with sharing a room now?
Yuandan understood his unspoken meaning: "When I was a little bird, it was indeed not inappropriate for me to share a room with you, but I am no longer a little bird."
The woman in front of him was slender and had a beautiful and refined appearance; there was indeed no trace of that little rascal.
Xiao Changqi stared at her intently for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember what you said before?"
On New Year's Day, I couldn't quite recall what I had said before: "What did I say?"
Xiao Changqi: "I will marry no one but me."
New Year:"……"
That was the excuse she used to avoid being used as a tool for marriage alliances by the Yuan family when she transmigrated into the body of the fourth young lady of the Yuan family.
"Your Majesty, I was just joking."
Xiao Changqi's expression remained indifferent: "A ruler's word is law."
Leaning against the doorframe on New Year's Day, he suddenly laughed: "What do you mean 'a promise is a promise'? You never said you were going to marry me."
Xiao Changqi lowered his eyelids slightly, his voice hoarse: "My harem is indeed lacking an empress."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Dan immediately stood up straight, his expression unusually serious: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Xiao Changqi countered, "If it weren't true, why would I be here today?"
It had started raining outside sometime earlier. Yuan Dan glanced at the man's shoulder, which was slightly damp from the raindrops, and said, "Let's come in first."
Xiao Changqi walked in, and as he closed the door on New Year's Day, he heard the man say, "Why is it here too?"
On New Year's Day, following the direction the man was pointing, she saw a gray sparrow sleeping soundly on her pillow.
“Green Sprout is in the palace. There’s no one here to take care of Little Sparrow. Where else can it go besides living with me?” Yuan Dan said in a nonchalant tone.
Xiao Changqi: "Men and women should not touch each other."
Yuandan glanced at him sideways and said, "Why didn't you say this when we slept in the same bed?"
Xiao Changqi: "..."
"Besides, the little sparrow is a purebred bird, and I am a human."
Although it seems like he's not exactly a purebred human.
Xiao Changqi continued to coldly stare at the sparrow on the bed. Suddenly, he walked over, picked up the sparrow, and was about to throw it away when he turned to the side and saw Yuan Dan staring at him without moving.
That look seemed to say: You dare to throw it?
Xiao Changqi placed the sparrow on the stool expressionlessly, while the sparrow, sensing danger in its sleep, involuntarily shivered.
"Your Majesty, would you like some tea?" Yuan Dan picked up the cup that was upside down and poured a cup of tea.
Xiao Changqi lifted his robe and sat down, picking up the tea on the table and taking a small sip.
Yuan Dan sat opposite him, propping her chin on her hand, and looked at the man, saying, "Your Majesty, did you really come here because your palace lacks an empress?"
