I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

Late at night, Yang Liu hugged Liu Jinyuan, patted the back of the little baby who was almost her own age with her small hands, and sang softly to lull him to sleep.

Ever since the last incident, Liu Jinyuan has been extra clingy and unwilling to be separated from Yang Liu for even a moment. He even sneaks over from his room before going to bed.

At the beginning, Imperial Noble Consort Yu Zhishu had given a firm order, but the little girl was unwilling to listen. She was very stubborn and still sneaked into Yang Liu's room in the middle of the night, climbed onto the bed and squeezed into Yang Liu's arms.

Yang Liu couldn't resist any more, so she took the initiative to talk to the Imperial Concubine about it. With the idea that this would help foster their relationship, she slept with her sister.

"Sister, what song are you humming? Why haven't I heard it before?" Liu Jinyuan leaned in Yang Liu's arms. She suddenly spoke in the quiet night. Her voice was not loud, but it woke up Yang Liu who almost fell asleep.

"Hmm... ? Why aren't you asleep yet? I just hummed the song." Yang Liu tightened her arms and pushed the child in, continuing to clap the child at a slow tempo and humming the song.

"Oh..." Liu Jinyuan rubbed his arms and said nothing more.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Hearing that the child in her arms was in a bad mood, she no longer wanted to sleep and opened her eyes to look at the other person.

"Ah."

"Then I'll show you a magic trick. Just go to sleep after watching it, okay?"

"Okay!"

Children are always playful. No matter how dull they are, they can't resist their curiosity. As soon as Liu Jinyuan mentioned the magic trick, they opened their eyes and looked at Yang Liu expectantly.

Yang Liu smiled and sat up. Liu Jinyuan looked at Yang Liu and got up and sat down too.

Yang Liu spread out her hands in the dim moonlight that fell on the bed, and said with a smile, "Look, I don't have anything in my hands now..."

Under the moonlight, the pair of tender little hands were spread out, clearly visible.

Liu Jinyuan blinked, not daring to be distracted for a moment, "Yeah."

"Now, give me your hand." Yang Liu said, smiling and waiting for Liu Jinyuan's action.

Children are curious about everything and put their hands on it without hesitation. Yang Liu then took the hand and gently closed it, leaving only a small space in her palm.

"Come, listen to me count down, three, two, one!" As Yang Liu whispered and let go of his hand, Liu Jinyuan suddenly felt something in the palm of his hand. Looking closely, it seemed that there was something round that was glowing.

"Wow! Night Pearl! Sister! It's Night Pearl! You are so awesome!"

The children were so shocked by such a little trick that they spoke louder.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Yang Liu immediately made a gesture to silence Liu Jinyuan.

Only then did she realize that she had indeed spoken a little loudly in the middle of the night.

"This is a secret between the two of us, you are not allowed to tell anyone else." Yang Liu reached out and rubbed the other person's head, smiling happily with her eyes curved. It was the first time she discovered that teasing children was so much fun.

The magic trick was very simple. She just took out the small things stored in other worlds from the system space and put them in Liu Jinyuan's hands, but she didn't expect that the child would be so easy to coax.

Although, not everything can be placed in the system space, such as people.

Liu Jinyuan blinked and nodded quickly.

"Okay, it's done. Can we go to bed now?" Seeing that Liu Jinyuan's mood seemed to be no longer depressed and had improved a lot, he asked with relief.

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded, then she lay back down holding the night pearl that was only the size of a newborn baby's fist, and placed it on the bedside.

The texture of the night pearl was not very good. It could be said to be the worst among all the night pearls in the palace. There was even a crack so tiny that it was almost invisible. The faint light it emitted only illuminated Liu Jinyuan's little face.

So even if Liu Jinyuan falls asleep holding it like this, it won't affect his sleep.

Seeing that she really liked it, Yang Liu even turned over in her sleep to look at her. She shook her head with amusement, pulled up the quilt and lay down, hugging the little girl from behind and falling asleep.

"Don't watch for too long, go to bed early."

After Yang Liu kindly reminded the little girl and saw her nod, she stopped talking and closed her eyes to rest. She was really sleepy and was not as noisy and energetic as a real child.

Both of them slept exceptionally well that night.

The second day was a day off, so the palace servants did not disturb the two children's sleep too early. This was also the rule set by Imperial Noble Consort Yu Zhishu. When the children were growing, it was not allowed to wake up the second and third princesses too early unless necessary. After all, it was the same when she was young.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine, Your Majesty the Virtuous Concubine is here."

As soon as the sun rose, the palace maid came in to announce that a guest had arrived.

Yu Zhishu fiddled with the refreshing tea in her hand and looked up. "What is she doing here?"

"Her Majesty the Concubine brought the Fourth Prince here. I guess they came for what happened a few days ago."

"Let her in, go and call the second and third princesses to get up, and come back after everything is ready."

Yu Zhishu picked up a piece of icy watermelon with a silver fork and put it into her mouth. From a distance, she saw the virtuous concubine leading the fourth prince slowly approaching. After entering the palace, the two exchanged simple greetings and talked about what happened that day.

"That day, my sister was too anxious and spoke rudely to the third princess. After she found out, she couldn't sleep or eat. Now that the prince is feeling better, I brought him here to apologize and gave him a thank-you gift to express my apology."

When Concubine Xian talked about that day, she still felt a little scared. Her delicate eyebrows were knitted, tears welled up in her eyes, and she wiped them gently with a handkerchief, looking particularly pitiful.

"Brothers and sisters should help each other. My two princes are warm-hearted people. I believe they would not mind my sister's rude words that day. It is common for people to act overly aggressively when they are in a hurry."

Yu Zhishu had an elegant demeanor and although her tone was slow, she was mocking her for being stupid and unable to distinguish right from wrong.

The virtuous concubine did not take it seriously. She just sobbed a little, and then she acted as if nothing had happened and continued.

"Sister, you are right. I am narrow-minded and think that you are the one who is calculating."

The virtuous concubine was originally the daughter of a small family. She had a beautiful appearance, gentle and kind. Her lowered brows and pleasing appearance made people feel that she was obedient. Yu Zhishu did not make it difficult for her. He chatted with her about some unimportant things and then waited quietly for his two daughters to wake up.

Yang Liu and Liu Jinyuan were suddenly awakened from a rare good night's sleep. Children sleep a lot, so they were still sleepy at this time. They were still yawning when they were led away, and they became more awake when they approached the hall.

"Greetings to Mother, Madam Consort, and Fourth Brother."

"Meet the second sister and the third sister."

The three children greeted each other. The Fourth Prince felt particularly uncomfortable because of their previous conflicts and being saved by Yang Liu. A little guy was stabbing his heart, saying that he was a stingy person for speaking rudely to such good sisters. He felt a little embarrassed.
