Xiao Jinyan had been bewildered with busyness these past few days, for Chun Xi had just given birth to her second child and was in her confinement period, and none of the other palace maids knew how to make strawberry ice cream except for Xiaojui.
It had been some days since Feng Wuyou had last indulged as well, and now she too was craving something sweet. Seeing that her daughter wanted to eat it, she said, "I'll go make some right now."
Having said that, she pushed Xiao Jinyan aside and took Susu's little hand, walking out.
Xiao Jinyan sat on the couch, watching as the two, one big and one small, left without turning their heads back, "Strawberry ice cream, more important than him?"
Late at night, when all was quiet
After finishing his work, Xiao Jinyan came to Fengyi Palace only to find that Xiaojui was already asleep. He sent the palace maids and eunuchs away and undressed to get into bed himself.
