In the Chen Palace without four seasons, under the reflection of the stars, snowflakes surge like the sea, flooding the Chen Palace and turning the entire palace into a dreamy wonderland of ice and snow.

The white and light blue tones turn Chen Palace into a painting of ice crystals.

Nan Wanxing, who was chatting with the Imperial Master, was stunned for a moment when she saw the changes in Chen Palace. Looking at the heavy snow, she raised the corners of her lips and said, "I will go back first. Imperial Master, please try to avoid appearing in front of Ziyou."

"I understand."

Ziyou, with his chin supported by one hand, looked out of the hall boredly. When he heard footsteps, he knew that Xiao Xingxing had returned, and his eyes finally brightened.

Little Star, who was spinning around and stretching out her arms to touch the snow, appeared in her sight. "Will it snow in Chen Palace?" she said as she walked.

"Is it strange?" she asked her gently.

"I thought your palace didn't have four seasons." She smiled brightly, "But this palace looks better. I like it very much."

"You're back, where's my surprise?"

Nan Wanxing's swaying figure stopped, and she seemed to have forgotten about it.

Ziyou supported her face with her hands and said lazily, "You didn't forget, did you?"

"I remember that you said you would give me a gift during the cotton incident. When you left, you also said you would give me a surprise." She tilted her head. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

She seemed to really owe Ziyou a lot.

She walked towards the fruit plate, the grapes in it were barely touched, "Does Ziyou not like eating grapes?"

The other party shook his head and said, "Skinning is too troublesome."

Nan Wanxing's eyes flashed with interest, "I said I would peel the grapes for you, but you refused." She peeled the grapes slowly, "Do you think it's troublesome to do it yourself?"

The other party's expression of refusing to admit it made her very happy, "I'll peel it for you to eat later!" She placed the flesh in front of Ziyou, "Eat it if you agree."

Under the other party's affirmative gaze, Ziyou put down his hand and slowly leaned forward, "Can you not put it so far away every time?" Although he complained, he still ate it.

Such a purple ghost made Nan Wanxing's eyes a little hazy, "The surprise is over."

Ziyou, who was chewing, froze for a moment as if struck by lightning.

She asked incredulously, "Peeling the grapes is a surprise? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Nan Wanxing peeled the fruit with concentration, and replied without raising her head: "I gave you a chance before, but you refused, so I have to teach you a lesson." In the other party's astonished eyes, she continued: "Don't say one thing and mean another in the future."

She worked hard and got a...lesson?

Although it wasn’t very hard, the result…

She pursed her lips, and her calm voice fluctuated a little. "I'm full." She said softly, "I'm a little sleepy and want to rest for a while."

The light in her eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her whole body seemed a little wilted.

Nan Wanxing stood there quietly, staring at Ziyou intently, "Finish this one."

Ziyou ate it obediently with her head down. She asked softly, "Aren't you going to get busy?" Seeing that the other party didn't move, she whispered, "I'm going to close the door and rest."

His hands were covered by his sleeves, and his knuckles were clenched so hard that they hurt, but he pretended to be fine. "Then I'll be out first. Call me if you need anything."

Ziyou nodded, and closed the door of the main hall the moment the other party stepped out of the door.

Looking at the tightly closed palace door, she hesitated for a moment, then strode out in the opposite direction.

Compared with the other two places, the people in the experimental area seem too desolate.

"Beichenxi, I have something to talk to you about."

Bei Chenxi, who was answering questions for everyone, saw the empress and felt a pang in his heart, wondering if he had angered the goddess again.

She walked out slowly, "What does the Empress want to see me for?"

"Does Ziyou usually sleep in the main hall?"

Bei Chenxi glanced at the other party and said, "The goddess hardly sleeps, but she often stays in the main hall. According to my long-term observation, the goddess has not chosen a bedroom for herself."

She asked seriously, "Your Majesty, have you bullied the goddess again?"

Did she bully Ziyou?

She seems to be...

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she rejected it herself.

She is a god, how could she allow herself to be bullied?

"No, does Ziyou usually close the door in the main hall?"

Close the door? Bei Chenxi's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Your Majesty, are you saying that the goddess closed the door of the palace?"

Although the other party did not answer her, it was obvious that he had agreed.

Bei Chenxi restrained her emotions and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the goddess is not as powerful as you look. She just has a longer reaction time and is slower to react." She stared into the empress's eyes, "She has not thought carefully about what your Majesty has done. You should not let the goddess down." Her voice was very cold.

She did not retreat just because the other party was the emperor. "The goddess has closed the palace door now. I hope you will not disturb her for a short time and let her have a good rest."

Nan Wanxing was somewhat shocked by the other party's words, "What do you mean by not that powerful?"

Bei Chenxi bowed and said, "The goddess will not pose a threat to your majesty. That's all I have to say."

Not caring about the empress's questioning, she turned and left.

She left the empress and the people who were conducting experiments behind and sat at the door of the main hall, blocking anyone who wanted to disturb her peace and quiet.

The empress digested Bei Chenxi's words and unknowingly walked back to the highest point of Chen Palace.

"Your Majesty's footsteps seem to be much heavier than before?"

Is she coming back here again?

"Master, what do you mean the gods are not as powerful as I look?"

How could mortals know so much about the affairs of gods, but the empress had this opportunity.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to you, but if this happens a few more times, the person who told you this information will definitely stand up for the goddess. Then, you may be able to know more news."

He changed the subject and said, "If you are confident, it would be fastest to ask the goddess directly."

Seeing the empress's absent-minded look, he probably couldn't ask directly, so he continued, "From the information you told me before, the goddess is very tolerant of you. Perhaps you can start with the jade flute she gave you."

Jade flute?

Nan Wanxing frowned slightly, "Is it too cruel for me to do this?"

"Your Majesty, you once said during the game of chess that being soft-hearted will lead to your downfall. Don't you think the goddess's kindness has impure motives? The jade flute is the beginning. I don't need to say more about what to do." The clear voice spoke to the point.

She didn't like being kept in the dark. She was the king of the human race, and she was concerned about the gods' inexplicable kindness.
