Xiao Ruyu's hand trembled, and the leaves in her hand fell to the ground.

What? Why is Daddy here at this time?

She turned her head to look at the palace door, feeling extremely panicked.

Surrounded by a group of eunuchs, Emperor Shangwen stepped down from the dragon chariot, his every move revealing his imperial demeanor.

"Your son pays respect to His Majesty, Father."

Xiao Ruyu hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

"It's windy outside, why is Ruyu staying outside the palace?"

Emperor Shangwen leaned over and picked her up, his eyes full of love.

Xiao Ruyu's brain was about to burn out at this moment. She hugged Emperor Shang Wen's neck and forced a sweet smile.

"I haven't seen Daddy for several days. I miss him so much."

Seeing her asking and answering questions, Emperor Shangwen's gaze immediately fell to the hall behind him.

He frowned slightly in surprise and walked into the hall.

Xiao Ruyu wanted to use the same trick again.

[Daddy, can you play with me in the yard for a while? ]

【Daddy, Daddy.】

But Emperor Shangwen was not easier to fool than Concubine Le, and he threw down another sentence.

"I'll accompany Ruyu later. I have something to discuss with the Queen right now."

Xiao Ruyu tried to stop him in vain and could only watch Emperor Shang Wen push the door open.

[It’s over, it’s over. Daddy is definitely going to misunderstand this time.]

She resigned herself to her fate and covered her eyes with her hands, looking hopeless.

When Empress Duan saw Emperor Shangwen coming in, she was stunned at first, then she pulled herself together and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Doctor Yang also knelt down quickly to pay his respects.

Emperor Shangwen did not respond, but lifted his dragon robe and sat down in the hall.

Looking at Empress Duan and Imperial Physician Yang in front of him, he recalled what Xiao Ruyu had said before.

Imperial Doctor Yang and Empress Duan were childhood sweethearts, and in the original script he had deep feelings for her.

Love. Deep. Meaning. Heavy.

Emperor Shangwen chewed on these words and felt more and more uncomfortable.

There was no change on his face, but the pressure dropped to zero.

There was an invisible pressure in the hall, forcing everyone to be silent.

"Doctor Yang."

After a moment, Emperor Shangwen spoke calmly.

"The harem is where the concubines live. Have you been coming here too often recently?"

Doctor Yang was about to reply when he heard the next sentence.

"From now on, you don't have to come to the Queen's palace without my summons."

"Eunuch Yin, please send Doctor Yang out."

Although his tone was light, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was on the verge of becoming angry.

Empress Duan gave Doctor Yang a look, and he understood and immediately withdrew.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Shangwen saw the whole scene and he frowned tightly.

"Empress, I heard that Doctor Yang and you have been childhood sweethearts since you were young."

"I didn't expect that after all these years, he still cares so much about you."

"You come to your palace more frequently than I do."

Queen Duan was stunned for a second and heard the sarcasm in his words.

"Did he insist on coming? Or did you agree to it?"

Emperor Shangwen stared at Empress Duan, trying to read something on her face.

A feeling of grievance surged in Queen Duan's heart. She never expected that in the emperor's heart, she was so unbearable.

[Huh? Why does it smell sour? ]

Xiao Ruyu carefully poked her head out from behind and saw that both of them had extremely gloomy faces.

She stepped forward and grabbed Emperor Shangwen's sleeve, muttering to herself.

[Daddy is so jealous, I can smell it from 800 meters away.]

[I will tell the servants later that there is no need to add vinegar to today's food. Daddy is so jealous that he is almost fainting.]

When the two heard this, they were both stunned.

Emperor Shangwen touched his nose somewhat unnaturally and looked at Xiao Ruyu pretending to be angry.

"Ruyu, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I be jealous?"

Empress Duan also looked at Emperor Shangwen in disbelief.

Will he be jealous of himself?

[Dad is still being stubborn. If he wasn't jealous, why would his face be so ugly? He even asked someone to chase the master away.]

[Mother, Daddy loves you, but he is too embarrassed to say it.]

Xiao Ruyu held up her cheeks, her face puffed up, and looked at the two of them.

[Dad, don't be angry with mom. Mom and Doctor Yang are investigating something important.]

[It's about the Lu family colluding with the imperial physician to resell medicinal materials. ]

Hearing these words, Emperor Shangwen's frown relaxed.

"Is this true?"

Xiao Ruyu raised his eyebrows, looking proud.

[Of course, when have I ever lied to my father, and when has my mother ever lied to my father? ]

Under her guidance, Queen Duan finally agreed to explain the matter clearly.

"When Prime Minister Lu was recovering from his injuries in the palace some time ago, Imperial Physician Yang noticed that something was wrong with the bill, so he came to me to investigate the matter thoroughly."

After all the misunderstandings were cleared up, Emperor Shangwen spoke with some guilt.

"I misunderstood just now. I shouldn't have doubted you."

[Daddy is not suspicious, Daddy is just jealous. ]

Xiao Ruyu did not forget to interject at this time and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Emperor Shangwen was speechless for a moment and coughed twice unnaturally.

"I understand."

Empress Duan spoke softly, her hand gently resting on the back of Emperor Shangwen's hand.

Emperor Shangwen held her hand with his backhand and stroked her hair.

Xiao Ruyu blinked and looked at the two of them, feeling extremely happy.

[Dad finally let Mom know his feelings, it's a happy thing for everyone. ]

She cheered in her heart and clapped her two little hands.

Just when she was happy, Eleven picked her up.

"Princess, it's time to eat."

Eleven tactfully carried Xiao Ruyu out of the hall.

Xiao Ruyu obviously hadn't eaten enough, but when she heard that Eleven had prepared lotus seed soup for her, she immediately followed him happily.

Tonight, Emperor Shangwen naturally stayed in the Queen's Palace.

Naturally, Xiao Ruyu could not sleep with Queen Duan, and was taken away by her wet nurse after dinner.

"Princess, the emperor is staying in the palace tonight. You can sleep with me."

The nurse looked at the princess's lovely face and felt a tingling sensation in her heart.

"don't want."

Xiao Ruyu shook her head repeatedly.

"I want to sleep with Eleven."

The nurse's smiling face froze and she was in a dilemma.

"This, this, this, Princess, this is against the rules..."

"I don't want it. I want to sleep with Eleven."

After saying that, she jumped down from the nurse's arms, turned around and ran towards Room 11.

The wet nurse couldn't stop her and kept following her, shouting.

"Princess—Princess—"

Just as Eleven was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, a glutinous rice ball flew into his arms.

【Eleven, I want to sleep with you tonight. 】

He refused again and again.

"Princess, you must not do that."

But the next second, a layer of mist appeared in Xiao Ruyu's eyes.

here we go again!

Eleven held his forehead helplessly and listened to her childish complaints.

[Mother is being taken over by Dad tonight. I can’t sleep well anywhere else. Can I just sleep for one night?]

Looking at her appearance, Eleven softened his heart again.

After sending the wet nurse away, Xiao Ruyu sat happily on the bed.

Eleven spread out the bedding for her and spread his own bedding on the ground.

【Won't you sleep with me? 】
