Xiaowan, who had returned to her husband's embrace, immediately lost all courage and courage. She looked at Ling Chaofeng with teary eyes and said, ”Husband, can you wait for me to fall asleep before leaving?”
Ling Chaofeng nodded: ”Then hurry up and close your eyes to sleep, how are you going to sleep with your eyes open?”
Xiaowan said, ”In the past, I would dream about you and could see you in my dreams. But this year, you didn't even want to come to my dreams, so when I closed my eyes, I couldn't see you anymore …”
Ling Chaofeng said: ”Then if you don't sleep, will I always be with you?”
Xiaowan nodded. Seeing her husband staring at her, she was not afraid at all.
She was so happy that she wanted to laugh, but her tears also came from her own hands. However, those who were physically and mentally exhausted were unable to resist their husband's warm embrace. In the end, they had fallen asleep.
That night, Xiaowan slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, she saw the bright sky and the empty house. Her heart tightened as she was afraid that everything that happened last night was just a dream.
But she quickly figured it out. Even if it was a dream, it didn't matter.
At most, from today onwards, she would treat her dream seriously. She would stay together with her husband, treating reality as a dream. When her ”dream” woke up, she would be able to see her husband.
She got up and put on her clothes. Just like how she usually did when she came to clean before the Announcement Hall, she also looked up at the divine beast atop the eaves. She greeted her husband in a very good mood.
But today, Ling Chaofeng appeared in front of his. Standing with his hands behind his back, he frowned and said to her: ”Don't always look at me, and don't talk to yourself. Aren't you afraid that others will find you strange and chase you away?”
On the way here, she had already assumed that she had just been dreaming. To be able to see her husband standing there and prove that everything that happened last night was not a dream, Xiaowan cried in joy.
Ling Chaofeng flew down and stood in front of her: ”Still crying, haven't you finished crying yet?”
He looked around and then warned, ”There are already a lot of people who find out that you're fine and just look at the sky, and they're even talking to themselves. As time passes, they or the emperor will think that you're weird and they should kick you out. Once I leave the palace gates, I will no longer be able to come to see you like this, do you think? ”
Xiaowan hurriedly wiped her tears and stared at Hubby with a serious look. However, this sight made Ling Chaofeng's heart ache, as she was willing to do anything just to be together with him.
”But I can't let you stay here all your life to clean up. Late at night, we can discuss more in the future.” Ling Chaofeng said, ”No matter what, you have to listen to me. If you don't listen, I will never come out to see you again.”
Xiaowan nodded his head vigorously: ”I will listen to you.”
Ling Chaofeng's heart ached, he could not help but kiss her on the forehead: ”Evening, I've let you down.”
Xiaowan's eyes grew hot, but she held back her tears. She smiled sweetly at Ling Chaofeng: ”You don't know, how happy I am.”
When Ling Chaofeng returned to the overhang, he was originally worried that the Xiaowan would stare at his again, but she did not raise his head again, continuing to act like her little Palace Maid. He did not even take another look when the others were leaving the Announcement Hall together with them.
When it was night, Ling Chaofeng went to see her. She asked proudly if he was obedient. Then he snuggled up against her husband's chest, touching his face, touching his arms until he fell asleep.
Xiaowan didn't make any request to Ling Chaofeng, nor did she chase after him and ask why. It was as if she was afraid that getting along with him would also be taken away, and she cherished it with extreme care.
Four or five days later, the emperor heard from the servants that Mu Xiaowan was no longer mumbling to herself as she looked into the sky. She was no different from an ordinary Palace Maid.
Xiang Run did not say anything, but he still felt it was strange. In that case, he could only mention it to the empress, and the two of them understood that the Xiaowan must have her reasons.
”I don't want to ask her.” Siyan said, ”If she can say it, she will definitely tell me. If she doesn't, then she cannot say it. ”Your majesty, she won't hurt anyone, nor will she delay the matters of the imperial court. Let her sweep the floor there, and maybe one day, she'll leave.”
Xiang Run nodded his head, ”I will listen to you, but I will also say the ugly things first.”
Siyan covered his mouth and laughed, ”Your Majesty, don't say it, there won't be any such thing. Even if there really is one, I have said it before, no matter what, I will always stand by your side.”
In the blink of an eye, the days of rest in Xiaowan's Li Palace arrived. In her first few days here, she had always been thinking about when she left the palace and wanted to accompany her son.
But now that she could see her husband, she didn't want to go out. Thinking of this, however, made her feel even more sorry for Little Pei, she took a few snacks that the empress gave her from the palace and brought them to her son to eat.
Ershan and Lian Yi were both very surprised to see the energetic Xiaowan.
Having been in the palace for only ten days, she had simply returned to the past. She had changed back into the young lady, whose eyes were curved and filled with joy.
One had to know that Lian Yi and Xiaowan had stayed in the capital for quite a few months, but he had never seen her smile before.
