Nanzhi Yun fell into Yu Jingchen's arms, picked up his hand, and played with it. Yu Jingchen watched her actions without saying anything.
"I like the current陛下, I like it so much. I hope the current陛下 will never change, I want her to always like me, always protect me like this." Nanzhi Yun said while playing with Yu Jingchen's hand.
"It won't change, it will never change. I will protect you and like you all my life. As time goes by, my liking for Yun'er will only deepen. It will never be like before, okay?" Yu Jingchen held Nanzhi Yun in his arms.
"Mm, no changes allowed!" Nanzhi Yun chuckled, her eyes curving as she smiled. Yu Jingchen's heart ached. Nanzhi Yun pushed Yu Jingchen away, wanting to stand up on her own. Yu Jingchen stood beside her, protecting her, afraid she would fall.
"I want to go back." Nanzhi Yun said solemnly. Why was she so whimsical?
"Mm, go back, shall I carry you back?" Yu Jingchen saw Nanzhi Yun take off her outer robe and was worried she might catch a chill.
"No need, I want to go back by myself." Nanzhi Yun was very stubborn and started to walk forward. Yu Jingchen was afraid she would fall.
But Nanzhi Yun insisted on walking herself, and Yu Jingchen couldn't force her. He would indulge her today. Nanzhi Yun walked ahead, and Yu Jingchen accompanied her from behind.
But... as Nanzhi Yun walked, she suddenly turned a corner. Yu Jingchen didn't know what she was up to and could only follow silently. As for the palace servants behind them... Nanzhi Yun had just thrown her jewelry all over the floor, and they were all picking it up now.
Yu Jingchen followed Nanzhi Yun and found her suddenly crouching by a tree. What was this? Seeing that Nanzhi Yun had stopped moving, Yu Jingchen walked over.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jingchen squatted beside Nanzhi Yun.
"To be a flower... I want to become a flower," Nanzhi Yun said, crouching there.
Yu Jingchen: "..."
"Your Majesty said I'm more beautiful than flowers. I want to become a flower, a flower more beautiful than all other flowers." Nanzhi Yun looked quite serious.
Yu Jingchen: "..." What the heck? He was amused by Nanzhi Yun.
"Then what flower is Yun'er?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"Peony, rose... No, I don't want to be a flower anymore. I want to become a grape vine, I want to bear grapes!" Nanzhi Yun suddenly stood up, but she stood up too quickly and almost fell.
Yu Jingchen quickly caught her. Nanzhi Yun stood up with effort, but Yu Jingchen no longer wanted to give her the chance. He simply scooped her up.
"No more fooling around. I'll take you back, we're almost there, be good." Yu Jingchen carried her and walked away. Strangely, Nanzhi Yun actually listened and stopped making trouble, quietly snuggling in Yu Jingchen's arms, very still.
Yu Jingchen carried her back to the temporary palace and placed her on the bed. He then realized that the reason the girl hadn't spoken or made a fuss was that she had fallen asleep. It was good that she was asleep. Yu Jingchen tidied her messy hair, which was disheveled, like a child's. She had made herself so disheveled.
Nanzhi Yun's face was still flushed from drinking, and she smelled of alcohol. Yu Jingchen ordered someone to bring hot water.
