On the first night Shi Qingzhou left, Long Xiaoyuan took up his own sleeping quarters.
Perhaps the place was wrong, or the bed was wrong. In short, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
On the second, third and fourth night of Shi Qingzhou's departure, he still could not fall asleep. It was still the second half of the night when he finally fell asleep. He kept feeling that something was missing from his side, so it was hard for him to fall asleep.
However, after four days, he seemed to have gotten used to it.
On the fifth day, Long Xiaoyuan fell asleep in the middle of the night. However, he woke up too early and woke up before dawn.
Six days later …
Long Xiaoyuan seemed to be more used to it, it was just that when there was no one around, he would instinctively talk to the people around him, as if Shi Qingzhou was right beside him.
However, when the words left his mouth and there was no response, he suddenly realized that that person was no longer there.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Shi Qingshan's army departed, and an entire sixteen days passed before they reached the border.
From this, one could see how vast the scope of the map was.
And after Shi Qingshan and Shi Qingzhou arrived, they won a battle. Now, what was presented in front of Long Xiaoyuan was the victorious news of their victory.
It was clearly mentioned in the victory report that Shi Qingzhou had personally led the troops to settle the barbarian forward encirclement, and also killed two of the enemy's generals. The morale of their side was greatly encouraged.
Long Xiaoyuan sat upright within the Imperial study, and his fingers slowly slid across the three words "Shi Qingzhou"...
Empress Shi Qingzhou really lived up to his name.
After a long while, Long Xiaoyuan finally let out a long sigh, and felt a bit uncomfortable at the bottom of his heart.
The battlefield was indeed the most suitable place for that person.
When he first arrived, he personally came to the battlefield as the Empress, obtaining great victory by slaying two enemy generals.
Shi Qingzhou was really powerful …
That was the only place that could make his queen truly happy, right?
And this imperial palace, this cold imperial palace with people imprisoned within it … It was like a tiger that was about to devour a human …
It was already afternoon by the time he finished dealing with the things in the Imperial study.
Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and decided to look for the little guy.
The little guy was naturally still living in the Kunning Palace. Although Long Xiaoyuan had been staying in the Monarch's own palace at night these few days, he would come over to visit the child everyday and play with the child.
The child had been in good spirits for four months, and now he could crawl.
The current weather was also hot, so Long Xiaoyuan saw little kids crawling on blankets while wearing single clothes.
The child was also very close to him and would giggle whenever he got close.
It was the same today. Long Xiaoyuan had just woken up from his nap in the past and was now drinking sheep's milk.
Although a child could crawl, this crawl was different from an average child's seven or eight steps crawl. After all, it hadn't been eight months yet, so he couldn't crawl as fast as that. He could only curl up his short legs and then use one hand to prop himself up like he was crawling.
Fortunately, he was currently sleeping on a small crib. If he were to sleep on a large bed, he might be able to fall off the bed at night.
When the little guy saw Long Xiaoyuan walk over, he chuckled, and even his eyes seemed to have lit up a little.
Long Xiaoyuan picked up the little guy. You little thing, you miss royal father? "
The little guy naturally didn't know how to speak, but it didn't stop him from chuckling. Furthermore, it even kissed Long Xiaoyuan's face full of saliva.
"You can please the royal father with just this little bit?"
Long Xiaoyuan smiled and kissed the little guy's cheeks. The little kid started dancing and pulled at his hair.
Long Xiaoyuan tapped the tip of the little guy's nose, as the color in his eyes darkened slightly. Unfortunately, your Paternal is not here … "
Thinking about Shi Qingzhou, Long Xiaoyuan became depressed, and sighed in his heart.
The little guy seemed to have felt Long Xiaoyuan's depressed mood, and his little hands pulled on Long Xiaoyuan's hair painfully.
Long Xiaoyuan snapped back to reality. royal father will carry you out to bask in the sun. "
The child chuckled as if he understood.
Then, Long Xiaoyuan carried the child and walked out.
While leisurely strolling towards the imperial garden, Long Xiaoyuan wasn't in a rush anyways, he was just strolling leisurely.
Finally arriving at the imperial flower garden, Long Xiaoyuan found a pavilion and sat down, holding the little guy in his hands. The wet nurse and the others also followed behind.
Children are very interested in colorful things, the eyes are always staring at it.
Long Xiaoyuan picked a peony from the imperial garden for him to play with.
The bright red peony flower was very beautiful. The child's eyes were fixed on it as he extended his small hands in an attempt to grab it.
Long Xiaoyuan plucked a flower petal and stuck it in front of the little guy's lips teasingly.
The little fellow was a little hesitant at first, but under Long Xiaoyuan's teasing, it actually stuck out its little tongue and wrapped the flower petal inside.
Long Xiaoyuan was shocked! "Drink, baby, you can't eat this."
The little guy naturally didn't understand, but the flower petal was also not tasty and didn't have any flavor. Thus, he was able to spit it out with his tongue still sticking out.
Long Xiaoyuan could not help but laugh.
And just at this moment, a voice sounded, "Imperial Consort Shan has arrived!" This caused the smile on Long Xiaoyuan's face to stiffen …
