"Your Majesty, I heard that the little princess is injured."
"Oh? You're injured?"
Upon hearing Wei Linglong's words, Bai Cai picked up the basin of water he was holding and placed it in front of Wei Linglong.
Wei Linglong put her hands into the basin of water to wash them, removing the cat hair, and then carefully dried them with a towel.
After washing, Bai Cai took the basin downstairs and came back with a small bottle.
Then he started touching Wei Linglong's hands.
"Bai Cai, do you think my hands are beautiful?"
Wei Linglong raised the hand that Bai Cai had touched and examined it carefully in front of her eyes.
"Your Majesty's hands are naturally beautiful."
"Just because it looks good?"
Upon hearing Wei Linglong's slightly angry words, Bai Cai knelt down and continued wiping Wei Linglong's hands.
"The Empress's hands are naturally the most beautiful."
"I think so too."
Wei Linglong lowered her hand and placed it back into the pot filled with flower petals.
"What did you say about the little princess?"
"I heard it was Gong Xue's doing, and it seems the injury is to the head."
Hearing this, Wei Linglong became interested and picked up a flower petal, rubbing it in her hands.
"Who did this?"
"It's Ma Yuling, the third young lady of the Nantong Earl's Mansion."
"Pfft—"
Upon hearing Bai Cai's words, Wei Linglong laughed without hesitation, her eyes filled with disdain and even contempt.
"She really is Ma Yuhui's sister, and she did a very good job."
"If it weren't for that little bitch, I wouldn't have been confined by His Majesty for two months."
Bai Cai knelt on the ground, not daring to speak, and could only silently bow his head to massage Wei Linglong's legs.

"Daddy~, I want to wear this outfit too!"
Xiao Xi'er pointed to Qin Jue's bright yellow dragon robe, indicating that she wanted to wear it too.
Sanhezi was terrified upon hearing this.
That's a dragon robe! Only emperors can wear dragon robes!! Little princess, what you're saying is utterly disrespectful!!!
Only emperors throughout history were allowed to wear bright yellow clothes; even the four princes could only wear ginger yellow or pale yellow.
"Daddy~, you promised me you would make this dress for me, but it's been three or four days and I still haven't seen it."
"Hmph~"
"Daddy lied to me!!! I'm ignoring Daddy now!"
Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's accusation, Qin Jue recalled washing Xiao Xi'er's feet three or four days prior.
But this girl wouldn't cooperate at all, and kept saying I should let her tickle.
After finally washing Xiaoxi'er's feet, it was time to dress her, but Xiaoxi'er refused to get dressed no matter what.
He insisted that he didn't love her and refused to dress like her.
When he heard that the little girl was missing, he returned from the Golden Palace wearing his dragon robe without even changing his clothes.
Little Xi'er saw this and asked me to carry her to look for clothes in a house, but we couldn't find any bright yellow clothes.
This made Xiao Xi'er so upset that she immediately buried her face in Qin Jue's arms and started crying.
To appease Xiao Xi'er, Qin Jue agreed to let Chunhe talk to the clothing department and ask them to make a bright yellow dress for Xiao Xi'er.
Only then did Xiaoxi stop crying.
"Your father had it made for you."
"Really?"
Xiao Xi'er's eyes lit up when she heard that she could wear clothes of the same color as Qin Jue.
"real"
"But why haven't I seen it yet?"
"You'll see it when Chunhe arrives."
Hearing Qin Jue's words, Xiao Xi'er could only glance at the door every now and then, hoping that Chunhe would come soon.
Sanhezi, kneeling on the ground, was still in her mind thinking about Qin Jue saying, "Have someone make a bright yellow dress for Xiaoxi'er," and her whole face was filled with shock.
After Qin Jue quickly combed Xiao Xi'er's hair, Chunhe came in carrying a tray of clothes.
"See, Daddy didn't lie to you."
"Muah—"
"Daddy is the best!"
Xiao Xi hugged Qin Jue's neck and kissed him on the cheek.
"snort"
Qin Jue didn't seem to appreciate it, but he still picked up the clothes from the tray with both hands and dressed Xiao Xi'er.
The bright yellow dress was embroidered with phoenixes in red silk thread, and the cuffs, collar, and hem were all embroidered with silver thread.
Even the shoe uppers were bright yellow, with peony shapes outlined in silver thread, and pearls dangling from the shoe openings.
After Qin Jue finished dressing Xiao Xi'er, there was still a yellow hairband left on the tray.
"Daddy~, hurry up and braid my hair!"
"You still have the silk ribbon on your head used to bandage your wound, how are you going to tie your hair up?"
"Then take it off."
After Xiaoxi finished speaking, she reached out and started tugging at the white ribbon on her head.
She had barely tugged at it a few times when Qin Jue 'slapped' Xiao Xi'er's hand.
"Father, what are you doing?!"
"Daddy, you actually started digging a hole???"
Xiao Xi'er stared wide-eyed at Qin Jue.
"Don't remove it. You still have a head injury, don't you remember?"
But I want to tie my hair up.
"Wait until it's healed before applying the dressing."
"All right"
Little Xi'er was listless, and it was only Qin Jue who cheered her up with some delicious food.
After Xiao Xi'er finished her breakfast, Qin Jue carried her towards the Golden Palace.
Before leaving, Xiao Xi'er didn't forget to take the yellow hairband.
Qin Jue was initially wondering what Xiao Xi'er was doing with the hairband, but he understood when he saw her actions.
Looking at Xiao Xi'er, Qin Jue couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, then carried Xiao Xi'er to the Golden Palace.
"Go to court."
"Long live the Emperor!"
All the ministers knelt down and bowed to Qin Jue, who had ascended the throne.
"Rise."
