After Ji Xingzhi washed herself thoroughly in the water, she finally climbed out of the tub, wiped the water off her body with a towel beside her, and put on the pure white underwear bought by her eunuch.
"Your Majesty, have you finished washing?" The eunuch couldn't help but ask when he saw Ji Xingzhi was taking a long time to come out.
"Okay." Ji Xingzhi said this as he walked to the door barefoot with his short legs and tiptoed to open the latch.
The eunuch squatted down and picked up Ji Xingzhi, then strode towards Xiao Moyan's bedroom. On the way, he also whispered to Ji Xingzhi: "Your Majesty, you must not let the prince realize your identity."
Ji Xingzhi nodded without saying anything. She was wrapped tightly, with her small arms and legs exposed and her chest bare. It was impossible for the emperor's uncle to find out that she was a girl.
Xiao Moyan's bedroom was next door, built in the same style as the other room, though slightly larger, with more and more expensive decorations. The large cyan bed behind the four-seasons screen was also larger. Furthermore, there were more curtains hanging from the beams, and the carved doors and windows were covered with white paper to protect them from the wind.
The room was particularly warm because there was a pot of charcoal fire under the round wooden table in the room.
The door was not closed. After knocking on it, the eunuch placed Ji Xingzhi at the door and left.
Ji Xingzhi walked into the room. It was warm in front of her but cold behind her. Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but shiver and immediately turned around and closed the door.
He walked around the screen with his legs clattering, and rushed straight to the person who was leaning against the headboard, reading a book carefully.
"Uncle~" Ji Xingzhi lay on Xiao Moyan's body and called sweetly.
Xiao Moyan put down his hand and read halfway. When his eyes fell on Ji Xingzhi's bare little feet, his brows frowned slightly. He reached out and hugged Ji Xingzhi in his arms and covered her with the quilt.
The precious hands that handled state affairs and read memorials were warming Ji Xingzhi's feet under the quilt.
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, and smiled brightly. She was definitely the first person in history to have Xiao Moyan, the regent of Lizhou, warm her feet.
Holding the tiny feet in his palm, the cold yet soft touch made Xiao Moyan frown slightly and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold with your bare feet?"
Ji Xingzhi stretched out her short hand to hold Xiao Moyan's arm, and said with a carefree smile: "The emperor's uncle is here to keep you warm."
The emperor's uncle smelled very nice, the kind of refreshing and elegant bamboo fragrance, the kind of bamboo fragrance that permeated the drizzling spring rain, fresh and elegant. Moreover, the emperor's uncle's body was warm, and she felt that her whole body and mind were filled with joy.
Xiao Moyan paused and said, "Don't do this again in the future."
The weather is getting cold now, and walking barefoot may cause you to catch a cold. It is most dangerous for children to get sick, as it can easily damage their brains.
Ji Xingzhi nodded vaguely, arched her head towards Xiao Moyan, and uttered a nasal sound: "Hmm."
Children sleep for a long time and get tired easily. Ji Xingzhi fell asleep not long after lying down. Her little chest rose and fell, and she pouts while sleeping. Her little face is chubby and very cute.
Xiao Moyan couldn't help but stretched out his index finger to poke Ji Xingzhi's face. Ji Xingzhi opened her mouth slightly, and her puffy little face instantly deflated. As if she had realized something, Ji Xingzhi reached out to wipe her face, and found a comfortable position next to Xiao Moyan to continue sleeping.
Seeing this, Xiao Moyan couldn't help but smile faintly. That smile was like the brilliant starry sky, like the colorful clouds in the horizon, and like the bright moon in the sky. They were all out of reach, fleeting, and gone in a flash.
