Lian Hua saw this and smiled happily. This was like the perfect ending in a storybook, how wonderful.
The Emperor turned back, touched her head, and tenderly said to her, "Nannan, I have some instructions for Zhang Qing. It's cold here, and you're carrying a child. Why don't you go inside first?"
Lian Hua nodded, her eyes sparkling as she said to His Majesty, "My lord, please be quick. I'll wait for you inside~" She wanted to kiss His Majesty, a big kiss; she could hardly wait!
The Emperor "ummed" in agreement, and only then did Lian Hua return inside, reassured.
The Emperor watched her tenderly as she entered, and once she had completely gone inside, he turned around, his expression shifting to one of indifference, and walked over to Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing was startled and was about to kneel down again in trepidation.
