When Wei Beichen came in, I was playing with things and accidentally dropped some porcelain, splashing it near his feet.

The palace maids all fell silent, afraid of inadvertently causing trouble.

"Is it fun?" His clear voice echoed in the room.

I looked up at him, a smile playing on my lips. "It's fun. Your Majesty, would you like to try?"

He walked over, carrying a scent of pear blossoms.

I flirtatiously climbed onto his shoulder, my lips brushing against his earlobe as I softly said, "I miss you so much."

His Adam's apple moved slightly as he lifted me up.

"Aren't you afraid of pricking yourself?"

I took a breath, feeling wronged. "You haven't come to see me for several days. Even if I do prick myself, no one will care."

His fingers ran through my hair, caressing my neck.

"Ah Wan, be good." He said as he lifted my chin, gazing deeply into my face.

I hid the mockery in the corners of my eyes and leaned in to kiss him.
