Whether Zhao Xueqi had come to her senses or not was unknown to Zhou Changling. All he knew was that if he didn't go back soon, that little girl would cause a huge uproar!
Ah, what a sweet trouble! I am so pleased!
Zhou Changling's mouth was practically stretched to the back of his head in a wide grin. It took him a while to finally calm down and regain his usual indifferent expression. After all, Xi'er wasn't used to him yet, and he couldn't leave her with a bad impression.
Zhou Changling's bodyguard, perched in the tree, rubbed his eyes: "Is this still our stern and unsmiling master? I can't believe my eyes!"
The guard perched on another tree said, "Master, you seem to be smitten!"
The young eunuch sweeping under the tree said, "I've heard people speaking ill of our master. Watch your skin!"
The two people in the tree simultaneously picked leaves and flew towards the little eunuch. Although the leaves were light and fluttering, they made a sharp whooshing sound as they flew through the air.
The young eunuch, quick-witted and agile, dodged the attack, then looked at the two leaves stuck in the floor: "Good heavens! This is going to kill me! You're so ruthless! I'm going to report you to the authorities!"
Fearing that the two men behind him would come after him again, the little eunuch hurriedly ran to the entrance of the main hall of Ganling Palace, hands on his hips, with a smug look on his face that said, "You can't do anything to me."
Just as the young eunuch was feeling smug, he heard the Emperor's gentle coaxing voice from inside the palace, "My dear, I'm back. Did you miss your husband after being gone for a short while?"
The young eunuch couldn't tell if he was dreaming or in reality for a moment. He never expected his master to have such a side to him in private. It was truly a rare sight.
Inside the palace, fist-sized luminous pearls were scattered everywhere. Zhou Changling stood with his hands behind his back in front of the dragon bed, a hint of pride still in his eyes: "I didn't expect my little wife to be so anxious about searching for her husband after only a short while. Well then, I'll keep my wife company—"
Bai Lingxi: "Husband, why are you staring at the roof? Isn't the golden dragon on the roof beautiful?"
Before Zhou Changling could finish speaking, Bai Lingxi interrupted him. However, her naive words made Zhou Changling choke. It seemed that this tactic did not work on Bai Lingxi!
Zhou Changling wanted to continue being aloof, but then he thought, why should his wife go through all these formalities? Real, tangible benefits are what truly matter.
Thinking of this, Zhou Changling sat down next to Bai Lingxi again. Looking at Bai Lingxi's eyes, which had also become bright and sparkling because of looking at the golden dragon, he lowered his head and kissed her peach-blossom lips, sighing with satisfaction.
The two got along very well, and their feelings for each other gradually warmed up. Meanwhile, in Zhaohua Palace...
Zhao Xueqi stormed back to her palace, glaring at the palace servants sent by Zhou Changling, and roared, "I'm back in my palace! Get out of here, you dog servants!"
Xiao Linzi stepped forward and gave Zhao Xueqi a polite bow: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. His Majesty instructed me to serve Your Majesty well, and I dare not be negligent."
Xiao Yuan glanced cautiously at Zhao Xueqi's face, then quickly lowered her head. Why was her face so pale and ashen, looking like she was about to devour someone? It was terrifying! Waaah—Mother, I want to go home.
Zhao Xueqi looked at the meek and submissive Xiaoyuan, and thought of Xiaocui: "Xiaoyuan, go see if that girl Xiaocui has come back yet. I wonder where she's gone off to. Is she trying to get herself killed?"
Zhao Xueqi looked at the empty hall, with people sent by the emperor watching her from outside. Were they afraid that she would harm that bitch?
She was so angry that she wanted to grab the teapot and smash it on the ground, but then she remembered that making such a commotion would be a clear sign of her dissatisfaction with the Emperor. So she could only put down the teapot, which landed heavily with a "bang."
