Before their second trip to the capital, when they found out that Xiaowan was determined to become the Palace Maid, the Aunt Zhang couldn't persuade her otherwise. Thus, she told her that if she wanted to maintain that sisterly relationship with the Queen, she needed to know who she was and who the Queen was at all times.

Xiaowan kept that in mind. At this moment, she said to Siyan, ”I want to be the Empress's good sister for my entire life, but only by maintaining a sense of propriety will this wish of mine be realized. ”The Empress's heart is real. I know, but you, Empress, are the empress. You can't change that.”

Siyan thought for a while, then ordered the Palace Maid to help him up. She smiled and said: ”I understand what you're thinking, but you have to promise me, this is the Imperial Palace, we can't do anything about it, but if I were to go to the Ling Xiao Inn in the future, you can't be like this, alright?”

Xiaowan nodded. ”Empress, don't worry, I understand.”

Siyan said: ”Then we will listen to the emperor, we will go to a warm place to work, it is very cold outside, and snow will fall soon in the capital city.”

Xiaowan looked up into the sky and thought back to last year's snowstorm and flood. It was a pity that she hadn't been able to be with her husband for more than half a year. Her life was so short, and she didn't want to waste even a single day.

She and the Queen ate green bean cake at the edge of the Supreme Pond and fed a golden carp. The two chatted for a long time, and in between them, the people of the various divisions of the palace came one after another to demand an order from the Queen. Xiaowan originally thought that the Empress was living a life of luxury in the palace, but now she found out that she also had endless things to do every day.

In comparison, when Xiaowan had once lived her life in the Ling Xiao Inn, he was truly free and unfettered.

When night fell, she would stand guard at the window, waiting for her husband to come see her. When Ling Chaofeng came to visit, he saw her lying on the window sill, full of anticipation. He flew over and scolded him, ”Evening, Little Pei is not a human, and I am not a human either.

Xiaowan shook her head. ”She's my son and my husband, there's nothing to be afraid of.”

Ling Chaofeng was still in disbelief, how could the Xiaowan accept everything that had happened so casually? When Little Pei was born in such a strange place, even he, who was a mortal at that time, could not accept it, but she had immediately begged him to not send him away just because of his son's curiosity.

had never seen it before, but now, he felt that she was even more mysterious than he was.

Xiaowan snuggled up against his chest and told him about what happened during the day. She said that from tomorrow onwards, she would not be able to clean outside the Announcement Hall, and maybe would not be able to see her during the next day. She told Ling Chaofeng to definitely come see her during the night.

”Even if it's just a single meeting.” The Xiaowan said, ”Otherwise, I would have been unable to hold back and come look for you.”

Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”I'll leave it up to you, to be chased out of the palace by the Emperor, you deserve it.”

The Xiaowan pouted and looked at him with a wronged expression. However, Ling Chaofeng actually went up to him and pecked him lightly: ”You're already a mother, yet you're pouting?”

Although her heart was sweet from being kissed by her husband, Xiaowan was still worried.

She asked, ”Won't we hurt you by being together like this? Yue Huaiyin's spirit told me that you have to stay here to guard for a thousand years, but because you ran out to save me last time, you have to go back to reincarnation right? ”

Ling Chaofeng nodded his head: ”It's no big deal, I think it's better to be a person than to be an immortal.”

The Xiaowan was conflicted as to what she was thinking. Ling Chaofeng asked curiously, ”What are you thinking about now?”

She then asked, ”Master, is there really a Bridge of Helplessness or Grandma Meng's Elixir?”

”Yes, why?”

”What can we do? Can we not drink?” Xiaowan said, ”This way, in my next life, I can again …”

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: ”Be obedient, late at night, and forget about me in your next life.”

Xiaowan lowered her eyes and did not speak anymore.

The two of them stayed quiet for a while, before Ling Chaofeng coaxed her, ”If I don't chase you away, unless there is a day when the Emperor wants to drive you away, and you are willing to stay with me like this, I will stay with you for the rest of my life. As for my next life, and thousands of years from now, as long as I can still find you, I'll definitely come looking for you, okay? ”

Xiaowan nodded with tears in her eyes: ”You have to come and find me. If I forget about you, wait for me to fall in love with you again, okay?”

Ling Chaofeng replied: ”Right now, nothing has happened. In this life, if we can stay together for one day, we can enjoy it for one day.”

The Xiaowan lay on her husband's chest, afraid that he would leave in the next moment. She clutched onto his clothes as she spoke, all the way until she unknowingly fell asleep.

Ling Chaofeng gently placed Xiaowan on the bed and covered her with a blanket, kissing her cheeks.

He wished so much that he could lie down beside Xiaowan and sleep in her embrace. However hugging and kissing was already a matter of course, and he risked everything, not caring about how he would be punished, and not wanting the Xiaowan to suffer any more. However, in order to stay together for a longer period of time, he still had to endure.

He flew back to his Announcement Hall, only to see purple energy roiling from the east, surrounded by immortal energy. Although they did not come towards him, he could vaguely feel that the Supreme Celestial had gathered to discuss something related to them.

Ling Chaofeng thought in his heart, and in a moment he saw a Golden Dragon flying over. Little Pei yawned and asked his father what he wanted, and Ling Chaofeng said: ”Go to the east and take a look, what are they doing?”
