"Much better, today I finally have an appetite to eat, all thanks to Brother Juzi."
Feng Fuce listened as she repeatedly ntioned this Brother Juzi.
He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow: "You seem to value him a lot?"
"Of course, he’s my best friend."
"He’s your friend, then what about ?" Feng Fuce suddenly asked.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes twice: "You’re my greatest friend, he’s the best, you’re different."
Feng Fuce couldn’t help but snicker.
The best, the greatest, she really knows how to differentiate.
Feng Fuce crossed his arms, asking in a mysterious tone: "In your orchard, didn’t you also recognize so Brother Yingtao and Brother Cao i?"
"And them, what kind are they in your eyes?"
Bai Zhi’er waved her little hand: "They’re just ordinary, not as close as Brother Fu Ce and Brother Juzi with Zhi’er!"
Feng Fuce let out a barely audible cold humph.
At this mont, Bai Zhi’er coughed gently.
Feng Fuce finally ca back to his senses: "Lie back down, your body is just recovering, don’t catch a cold."
Bai Zhi’er softly said, "I want to drink water."
"Wait." Feng Fuce stood up swiftly.
He poured a glass of water and handed it to Bai Zhi’er, the little one reached out to take it herself.
Her small hand accidentally touched Feng Fuce’s fingers.
Imdiately she felt the cool touch.
Bai Zhi’er held the teacup with both hands, sipping water, her big eyes watching Feng Fuce’s face.
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "What are you looking at?"
The little one finished the water, her pink lips moist, she licked them, and said: "Brother Fu Ce, why are your hands so cold during the sumr?"
Feng Fuce glanced down at his palm: "Born this way."
Just then, the sound of Qingi pushing the door open ca from outside.
Feng Fuce’s heart tightened.
In front of Bai Zhi’er, he couldn’t use magic to spin away.
Instead, he decisively stepped out and leaped through the window.
When Qingi ca in, Bai Zhi’er was holding a teacup with her little hand, her big eyes looking at the closed window direction.
"Princess, why are you awake? Did you call , but I didn’t hear?" Qingi hurriedly took the teacup.
Bai Zhi’er withdrew her gaze, and said cutely: "I woke up because I was thirsty, it’s nothing Sister Qingi, Zhi’er is going back to sleep now!"
After saying this, she lay down again.
Qingi smiled indulgently, gently covering Bai Zhi’er with the blanket.
Before leaving, Bai Zhi’er suddenly stopped her.
"Sister Qingi, is the window locked every night when I sleep?"
Qingi was taken aback: "Yes, I close the window latch every day. What’s the matter, Your Highness?"
Bai Zhi’er sweetly said: "Nothing! Just heard the strong wind making the window rattle, worried it might get blown open, so I asked."
Qingi smiled: "Rest assured, Princess, we check on you every hour, you rest, I’ll take my leave."
After she left, in the darkness, Bai Zhi’er’s watery eyes sparkled.
The window was locked, how did Brother Fu Ce co in from outside?
Why are his hands as cold as in the dream when Brother Juzi was there?
Could it be...
The one who ca that night, was Brother Fu Ce, not soone else?
Or is Brother Fu Ce actually Brother Juzi!
The next day.
After Bai Zhi’er woke up, she was even more spirited.
The whole little one was full of energy.
Today is a rest day, with no court duties, Bai Xilie accompanied his daughter for breakfast.
Seeing her eat two big at buns, Bai Xilie laughed heartily.
"Sweetheart, do you want to eat sothing else?"
