I was stunned, and hurriedly reached out and opened the door gently. Sure enough, I saw him standing at the door, wearing a thick fox fur coat, with some light snow falling on his shoulders and head. Maybe it was because it was too cold, and his face became darker and darker.

The lips are white, but the lips are very red, as if they have been painted.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince? My servant pays my respects——"

I hurriedly wanted to salute him, but as soon as I bent down, he smiled and supported me: "Okay, third brother is not here either, so don't follow so many rules."

I raised my head, looked at the warm smile in his eyes, and realized that he was talking about what Pei Yuanhao said. I immediately blushed, took a step back to welcome him in, and said, "Your Highness came late at night. I don't know if anyone is here."

What's the matter?"

"Don't worry, come and take a look."

As he spoke, he took off his coat. I quickly took it and hung it aside. He walked carefully to the bedside and looked at the emperor for a while. I also walked over very lightly. He asked, "Did the emperor say anything?"

?"

"No, the emperor drank some water and rested."

"Oh, that's good."

He nodded and looked at it quietly for a while. The emperor was sleeping deeply and didn't move at all. Then he walked out with peace of mind. I followed him. Just as he reached the center of the room, he suddenly stopped and turned around.

I almost bumped into his back and hurriedly stopped. He looked down at me.

The room was very quiet. Even if there was one more person, there was just a little more gentle breath. He looked at me like this, and his gentle breath blew on the top of my head. His broken hair gently rubbed my forehead, causing a slight itch.

"Are you tired?"

"No...not tired."

I shook my head and lowered my head. He tilted his head and looked at me for a while, then suddenly said softly: "You have lost weight."

These words were very low and light, like a pair of the lightest hands touching the weakest heartstring. I slowly raised my head and looked at him, and he still had that faint smile on his face.

Just like the cup of honey water I mixed for the emperor before going to bed, it lingers on the tip of the tongue with a fleeting sweetness, light but not greasy.

I felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at me and lowered my head: "Your Highness, you have also lost a lot of weight."

"Oh, I have been working hard every day these days, how can I not lose weight?"

By the way, he has been handling government affairs in the Supervisory Country recently. There are so many big and small things, and it is indeed not that easy. I just heard him say again: "I don't even have time to go to the Neizang Pavilion to read. As soon as you leave, the word "Palace Lady" there

I can’t recognize a few of them, which is really troublesome.”

When he said this, I suddenly thought of it and said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment."

"Huh?"

He looked at it with confusion. I walked to the small compartment outside where my luggage was placed and found out the packages of snacks I brought back from the south. Two of them were from Wanbaozhai. One of them was particularly heavy. I held it.

The bag walked up to him and offered it with both hands: "Your Highness, Qingying has nothing to take with him on his next trip to the south of the Yangtze River. This is just a thought."

He looked at me first, with surprise in his eyes. Then he looked down and saw that the name of Wanbaozhai was written on the paper bag. He looked at me with a half-smile: "Snacks?"

I smiled and shook my head.

"What is that?" He also became interested, took the paper package and opened it three times, revealing two exquisitely bound books, with neatly written on them: Commentary on the Thirteen Classics.

He was stunned for a moment and looked up at me.

I smiled shyly: "I saw this in Yangzhou. This is the new edition of Jiangnan Book Company. The proofreading and typesetting were done by eminent monks from Tianmu Temple. It is better than the one stored in the Neizang Pavilion, so..."

He listened to me quietly, his eyes shining in the dim light.

I became more and more uncomfortable when he looked at me, and I couldn't finish my words. The two of us suddenly fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, he spoke again, but his voice was unconsciously hoarse.
