"Your Majesty, Consort Li has come for the little princess."
"Here for the little princess? Tell her to get in!"
"Yes, this servant will go immediately."

Xiao Liyun walked in and saw Qin Jue holding a soft little baby, his hands playfully poking the baby's cheeks, making the baby giggle.
"This humble servant greets Your Majesty."
What brings you here?
"I came for the sake of the little princess."
The beautiful tyrant sat on the throne, glancing at Consort Li.
Consort Li bravely
"Your Majesty, the Empress has awakened and is eager to see the little princess. I have come to bring the little princess back to the Empress's side."
Xiao Liyun looked at the enthroned monarch, who remained silent, and felt somewhat uncertain.
"Your Majesty, could it be that you're reluctant to part with the little princess?"
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the little bundle in her arms.
"presumptuous"
"You've come at the perfect time. I was just finding this girl too annoying and was thinking of having her thrown back to the Empress's palace."
"Since you're here, take her away. I'm annoyed just looking at her."
This made the little one in my arms feel so wronged.
Wow! Wow!
"Take it away, all you do is cry, you're so annoying."
The beautiful tyrant spoke impatiently, and to express his disdain, he placed the little figure directly on the table before turning and leaving.
The little figure on the table is still crying.
Seeing this, Consort Li and Sanhezi stared wide-eyed.
Consort Li hurriedly went up and took the little one into her arms to comfort her.
"Don't cry, Xixi, be good, don't cry."
"Don't cry, Xixi, I'll take you to find your mother."
The little one in my arms was still crying, but her eyes kept glancing towards the inside of the house.
"This servant respectfully sees off Consort Li."

Futang Palace
Xiao Liyan sat on the bed, gazing at the peonies on the windowsill, thinking of Xiao Xi'er.
My child, behave well with your father and don't make him angry, or your mother fears she won't be able to protect you.
But I was still very worried, and tears involuntarily streamed down my face.
"Your Majesty, please don't cry. It's not good for your health. The little princess is safe with His Majesty, and His Majesty loves her very much."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Chunhe is right. His Majesty has been distributing porridge to the little princess outside the city for half a month. Your Majesty, please don't worry."
This little guy isn't afraid to sleep in anyone's arms; he's so soft and squishy, just as I expected.
"Your Highness, please slow down. You are six months pregnant, and this is still snowy."
"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
"Greetings, Consort Li"
"Is Her Majesty the Empress asleep?"
"Your Highness, Consort Li, no."
"Open the door"
"Ayan, look, Xixi is here!"
"Greetings, Consort Li"
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress"
"Where is my Xi'er? Let me see her!"
Xiao Liyan watched as Xiao Liyun brought her daughter back, and eagerly took the sleeping baby from Liyun's arms. "My daughter, let your mother see you!"
He lifted the cloth covering his face, saw his daughter, and couldn't stop smiling.
Xia Ju went to fetch a hot towel to wipe Consort Li's face.
"Your Highness, here's a hand warmer, it'll keep you warm," Chunhe said, handing a hand warmer to Consort Li.
"Liyun, you must be freezing!"
"It's snowing heavily, and I told you not to go, but you still went. You're pregnant, what if you catch a cold? Should I scold you or not?"
"Then Ah Yan, please don't scold me."
"You, you've had a tough time this time."
"Ah Yan is being distant with me again. Do you think I'm only doing this for you?"
"I wanted to see Xixi too."
"Alright, that's enough. I'm going to your side hall to bathe and retire. Don't even think about kicking me out of your Futang Palace."
"I'd love for you to stay here forever, why would I kick you out?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go now."
"Okay, change your clothes and take a longer bath."
Chunhe served Consort Li a warm medicinal bath.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Watching Xiao Liyun leave with Chunhe and Liu Si, she then looked at the little one in her arms.
Xi'er~ Xi'er~
My dearest Xi'er, just thinking about it makes me smile.
