He affectionately teased the little girl's nose.
The little girl was hugging his neck, pouting her lips, "That's not true! I only asked…one, two, three…" She counted with her fingers, then held up all ten, "I just asked ten times a day!"
"…" Lu Ming burst into laughter.
Then, a woman's delicate hand gently touched the Emperor's arm.
"Your Majesty! You surely must be exhausted! I have prepared food and wine in my chambers for you. Please, go and bathe! Leave the little princess to me!"
Speaking so, the woman extended her arms.
Lu Ming's face darkened, and he subtly sidestepped the woman's movements.
"I'm not tired! I plan to teach the little princess chess tonight, so I won't be visiting Concubine Xiao. You have been working hard looking after the princess these days, you should also rest early, return to your chambers!"
After speaking, the Emperor held the little girl and walked towards the princess's residence.
