Xiao Jin finished his work early today.
After coming out of the imperial study, he arrived at Fengluan Palace.
During the time that Su Ying was away, he had been staying in Fengluan Palace. Occasionally, when he was very busy, he would rest in the imperial study, and he almost never returned to his own bedroom.
Su Ying likes quietness, so there are not many people serving in Fengluan Palace.
Zhou Qing saw Xiao Jin coming and hurried forward to bow.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Jin nodded slightly and walked into the inner hall without stopping.
Zhou Qing hummed his lips as he looked at Xiao Jin's back, but when he thought of Su Ying's instructions, he swallowed the words back.
"Your Majesty, would you like to take a bath now?"
Xiao Jin hummed.
Zhang Shuming went forward to help him change his clothes.
After the bath, everyone left.
The door to the inner hall closed and Xiao Jin walked towards the bed.
But as soon as he reached the bed, his eyes darkened.
There was a pair of men's shoes next to the bed, but judging from the size of the shoes, they were not suitable for a man.
Xiao Jin's face darkened and he swung his palm forward with a fierce force.
Su Ying had heard Xiao Jin's movements a long time ago, but she was just playing around and wanted to scare him when he came over, but she didn't expect him to start attacking her as soon as he arrived.
"Xiao Jin, it's me!"
Su Ying sat down on the bed and pulled open the curtains.
Hearing Su Ying's voice, Xiao Jin retracted his palm wind and quickly retreated, but he was still shocked by his own internal force and took a half step back, which showed that he had intended a killing move just now.
Su Ying was just about to get out of bed when she bumped into a strong embrace.
Smelling the familiar scent on him, her tense nerves relaxed instantly. She leaned quietly in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt her whole body relax.
"Xiao Jin, I'm back."
Xiao Jin hugged her tightly, fearing that he was dreaming and she would disappear again when he woke up.
"Su Ying, you bastard!"
The low roar carried with it an uncontrollable longing.
"I missed you." Su Ying rested her chin on his shoulder and looked sideways at his slightly rising Adam's apple. She felt her body temperature rising.
Xiao Jin held her hand tighter, and the next moment, they both rolled into the soft quilt.
Zhang Shuming was standing outside the door and was shocked when he heard the noise coming from the inner hall.
Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Qing pulled him aside.
"Miss Zhou Qing, is there something wrong?"
"Eunuch Zhang, please don't disturb the Emperor and the Empress."
"Empress?" Zhang Shuming asked in surprise.
Zhou Qing nodded, "The queen came back today. After visiting the princess and the eldest prince, she has been resting in the inner hall."
Zhang Shuming suddenly realized, and he said that why he heard something wrong in the noise coming from the inner hall just now.
He smiled and said, "The queen is finally back."
During the time when the Empress was away, the Emperor was much more difficult to serve than usual. Now that the Empress has returned, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The noise in the inner hall did not die down until late at night.
Xiao Jin stood up and put on his clothes.
Su Ying didn't want to be laughed at by them on her first day back, so when she saw Xiao Jin stand up, she also stood up.
"If you are tired, just lie down on the bed. I will ask them to bring in food."
Su Ying rolled her eyes at him. "They say that a king has a lot of things to do every day, but you look like you've had all kinds of tonic soup."
Xiao Jin smiled with satisfaction, "I have been gathering my strength and waiting for you."
Xiao Jin stepped forward and took out a dress for her to change into.
After everything was packed up, Xiao Jin let Zhou Qing in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is it time for dinner?"
"Let them bring it up."
"Where are Ling'er and the others? Are they back?"
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince and the princess have returned. They had dinner earlier and are now washing up and preparing to go to bed."
Su Ying stood up and walked out, "I'll go check on them."
The two treasures lived in a side hall. They had just washed up and were getting ready for bed. As soon as they lay down on the bed, they saw Su Ying walking in.
"My dear babies, my mother is back."
When the two babies heard the noise, they ran out from the inner room and stuck their little heads out of the door.
"It's my mother, it's really my mother."
Erbao rushed to Su Ying and threw himself into her arms.
"It's my mother who's back. Oh, my mother is back."
Dabao also ran out of the house to Su Ying and looked at her eagerly.
Su Ying also picked him up.
"Oh, you've grown so fat that mommy can hardly hold you anymore."
"Mom will definitely be able to hold you. Mom can kill a cow with one punch. Hahaha..." Erbao happily hugged Su Ying's neck and kissed her hard on the face twice.
Dabao leaned on her shoulder, silently expressing his longing for her.
"Mom, we miss you so much." Dabao's low voice sounded in his ears.
"Mother misses you too. It's getting late. I'll talk to you tomorrow if I have anything to say. Go to bed first. You still have to go to class tomorrow, okay?"
The two little guys were reluctant to leave Su Ying and were unwilling to get off her.
Su Ying had no choice but to carry them back to the inner hall.
"Would you like to eat something with your mother?"
The two little guys nodded obediently in order to stay with Su Ying for a while longer.
Su Ying didn't want them to eat too much at night, so she only served them half a bowl of porridge.
"Mother, when did you come back? Why didn't anyone tell us?"
"I just got back today. I wanted to tell you, but you were at work at the time, so I didn't want you to be distracted."
"Mom, you won't leave again now that you come back, right?" Erbao moved closer to Su Ying. She didn't want to be separated from her mother anymore.
"I won't leave for now. Mother will stay with you."
"Okay, okay, Ling'er can be with A Niang again."
Xiao Jin sat quietly the whole time, picking up food for Su Ying from time to time, and watching her talking and laughing with the two children. Even just watching, he felt extremely satisfied.
After eating, Su Ying let the two little ones sit for a while and then went to sleep.
The two little guys were still reluctant to leave, but under Xiao Jin's intimidation, they went to bed obediently.
"Did you receive the message I sent you?" Xiao Jin reached out and smoothed the loose hair on her forehead behind her head, his black eyes full of tenderness.
Su Ying coughed lightly and said, "I received it. Chu Yun sent it to me." She couldn't have received the letter in Tiankui City, otherwise there would be no way to explain how she could return to the capital in such a short time.
"Well? You had already left the Northern Wasteland at that time?"
Su Ying nodded calmly, "Yes, I have left. Things over there have been almost arranged, so I wanted to come back as soon as possible, so I traveled day and night to come back. What's going on with the Southern Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom? Are they really going to join forces?"
Seeing that she changed the subject, Xiao Jin did not pursue the matter any further. There were some things she did not want to say and she would not open her mouth even if he forced her to answer.
"Well, the Southern Country has already taken action."
Su Ying sat up straight upon hearing this, but was carried back by Xiao Jin.
"The more you face setbacks, the more courageous you become."
