The Emperor embraced her tightly, his heart melting into tenderness, as he kissed the top of her head and soothed her in a warm voice, "There, there, My little darling has worked hard, and you did very well just now. My Nannan, if you choose to do something, you do it to the best."
It was only that he did not wish to bind the nature of his Little Concubine with restrictions. Later, he would have to talk to Nanny Qi, to not govern her so strictly in private, lest it tire her out—how could he bear that?
Upon hearing this, Lian Hua lifted her eyes, brimming with light, and gazed at His Majesty, "Really? Was it graceful? Did it look good?"
The Emperor pinched her nose with a smile, "When has My little darling ever not looked good? I adore watching My little darling the most."
