The head eunuch's heart skipped a beat, looking at Zhou Dao with some surprise and wariness, he carefully retreated to the side.
"Older sister, this is..."
Concubine Rong, keenly perceptive, did not act as impulsively as the palace maid had; instead, she patiently inquired.
"When this little one calls me Aunt, naturally, I must act the part."
Qin Baichu beckoned, indicating for Zhou Dao to come over.
Zhou Dao felt as if he had descended into a misty world, sensing that everything he encountered today was like a dream; the Female Taoist he had met that day was actually the current Crown Princess?!
He approached Qin Baichu, who looked at him with a smile brimming with warmth.
"Little one, you didn't expect this, did you?" Qin Baichu pinched Zhou Dao's cheek.
This intimate gesture startled King Wu, who knew very well the temperament of the Crown Princess - lofty and distant, treating outsiders like heavenly fairies, hardly bestowing a glance upon the mortal world.
