Chapter 1081_1

When Xiao'er woke up, she found the space beside her empty and devoid of warmth. With a slight frown on her face, she wondered if he really got scared of her, afraid to come back and sleep in the room all night.

"Yang Mei!"

Yang Mei quickly walked in, assisting Xiao'er out of bed.

Xiao'er's belly was getting bigger, making it uncomfortable for her to get up. She needed someone to help her with getting up.

"Did Brother Guan return home last night?"

"Master returned when dawn was about to break. By that time, the princess hadn't woken up. He prepared breakfast in the small kitchen, and then went to the Imperial Palace, saying he'd return at noon to have lunch with the princess."

Hearing these words warmed Xiao'er's heart. She nodded and prepared to get out of the bed to wash and have breakfast.

After breakfast, Xiao'er sat at the piano for a while and sketched a painting. Just as she was about to invite Yang Liu to play chess with her, the Empress arrived.
