Chapter 397 A Gentle Heart

Bai Lingling walked unsteadily out of the palace.

She wore a slightly oversized robe, and her youthful face still held a hint of lingering springtime blush, revealing a strange, innocent charm.

"Ok?"

The sunlight was slightly piercing her eyes. She looked up and saw a petite figure 'hiding' behind a pillar, peeking into the courtyard.

The little girl was dressed in a pink and white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with tassels around her waist and lace trim on the hem. Her fluffy fox tail swayed gently behind her, making her look exceptionally charming and cute.

Bai Lingling curiously approached and peeked over, asking, "Little auntie, are you looking—"

"Ugh!"

The young woman trembled, as if startled. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw that it was Bai Lingling.

"It's Sister Bai!"

Hearing her voice so softly, Bai Lingling was even more surprised. What was this girl doing so mysteriously so early in the morning?
She tiptoed and, through the flower bushes outside the corridor, vaguely caught a glimpse of Su Cheng and Eleven's figures, and was momentarily stunned.

"Shh, Sister Bai, don't make a sound and disturb Brother and Eleventh Sister."

The young woman gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "That older sister seems to have something very important to say to my brother, and she specifically asked me to leave for a while."

"Important?"

Bai Lingling tilted her head blankly. Thinking of Eleven's identity, she pondered silently.

The little girl blinked: "Does Sister Bai know?"

"I'm not quite sure."

Bai Lingling quickly snapped out of her daze, a faint smile playing on her lips as she ruffled her tousled hair. "But you, why are you so interested in what they're going to talk about when they're alone?"

Eavesdropping in private is not something this well-behaved and sensible child would do.

"Well, because I'm a little worried about my brother."

The young lady said softly, "That eleventh sister is a bit hypocritical. She clearly likes my brother very much, but she won't admit it."

If my brother and sister don't finish their conversation, I'll have to go out and help ease the tension.

Bai Lingling was somewhat surprised to hear this.

This girl is so considerate and thoughtful.
But then she couldn't help but chuckle, pinching the little aunt's fox ears: "Don't worry, the two of them actually know the truth about this, so we don't need to worry about it."

"Oh"

The young woman nodded in realization, patting her chest gently in relief. "It's good that you're alright. Just now, I saw Eleventh Sister looking so fierce; I thought..."

At this point, her gaze swept across Bai Lingling's face, then suddenly turned curious. "Sister Bai seems to have changed quite a bit since last night. Could something have happened last night?"

Bai Lingling: "."

The young dragon girl's smile froze slightly, her cheeks flushed as if she were blushing with embarrassment, and she subconsciously turned her head to smooth her hair.

"No, it's nothing, just some adult stuff."

"Is it something for adults?"

"Well, you'll understand when you're older."

"Oh, is that so? Then I can cry with my brother from now on too?"

The young woman's mouth was quickly and gently covered.

Bai Lingling blushed and whispered, "Alright, let Xiao Su and the others chat in peace. Let's go to the Imperial Kitchen and teach you some cooking skills."

"Ah, thank you, Sister Bai!"

Watching the two petite figures walk away quickly, Feng Sha leaned against the window, a smile playing on her lips.

"The Dragon Ancestor has truly become a gentle and lovely little mother."

"Having lived in seclusion for thousands of years, all the resentment has been washed away, and the natural changes are quite significant."

A gentle voice sounded from behind her. Feng Sha couldn't help but gather her hair and turn around. She saw Duanmu Jing walking gracefully in a single garment, her high breasts swaying slightly with each step, barely concealed by her clothes.

The voluptuous beauty exuded a charming aura, her eyes sparkling with spring, yet her smile was exceptionally gentle.

"Aunt Jing."

Hearing her suddenly change her tune, Duanmu Jing blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled gently: "Even you have changed a lot."

“Yes.” Phoenix Sha, or rather, Nine Emperors, looked on with emotion and smiled faintly, “In the past, I would never have imagined that the Goddess of the Heavenly Stars would be so gentle and virtuous.”

Duanmu Jing coughed lightly, looking slightly embarrassed.

"After all, things are unpredictable."

"Thank you."

"Huh?" The beautiful woman looked slightly taken aback.

Jiuhuang withdrew her gaze and looked back at the courtyard. "Thank you for being so gentle with your husband."

"Still being so polite now?"

Duanmu Jing smiled, but as soon as she took a step, she suddenly stumbled and quickly grabbed the window for support.

Seeing her take a deep breath, Jiu Huang helped her up and chuckled, "What's wrong with you?"

"Asking knowingly."

Duanmu Jing said helplessly, "Not everyone is like you, whose body can withstand any kind of abuse without any problems."

"It's just that you and your husband were too wild last night." Jiuhuang raised his golden eyebrows slightly.

"Cough! Stop, stop talking!"

Duanmu Jing's cheeks felt a little hot. Last night, she had been caught up in the atmosphere and had just gone along with it without really thinking.

Actually, it's Ms. Lü who's really impressive.

"Ahem, but what about Cheng'er now?"

Seeing that she intended to change the subject, Jiu Huang's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't pursue the matter any further and turned his head to look out the window.

"It seems he has something to discuss with that empress."

The atmosphere in the courtyard was rather chilly, as if it were the dead of winter.

Su Cheng wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He never imagined that one day he would experience being scolded by his elders again.

The eleventh man sitting before me had a cold and stern face, with his eyebrows slightly furrowed, exuding a quiet and aloof majesty.

Just now, she spoke in a cold tone, giving him many lectures on how to be self-disciplined and how to exercise restraint.
Especially when he mentioned the young lady, the slightly disdainful and contemptuous look in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.

"So, do you understand the principles I just explained?"

Eleven took a sip of tea and said coldly, "With an innocent child by your side, you must not act so frivolously, lest she be influenced by what she sees and hears and have her temperament corrupted."

"The young lady is right."

Su Cheng coughed lightly: "I know what I'm doing."

After a moment of silence, Shiyi unconsciously stroked the rim of the cup in his hand and sighed quietly.

Only then did she realize that she had been a little cold to Su Cheng. If she kept nagging him like this, the child would probably get tired of it.
"As for other private matters, you can keep them to yourself."

Eleven turned her face away and said coldly, "Making such a fuss is unbecoming."

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly; he sensed that his mother's attitude had suddenly softened again.
"Alright, we've been chatting for quite a while, let's go back."

After calming his mind, Shiyi casually poured himself a cup of tea and said lightly, "Spend quality time with your wives and open up to them."

I've carefully observed these girls; they are all gentle and kind-hearted women who deserve your tender care. Don't be too harsh on them and hurt them.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Cheng suddenly stood up.

Eleven also fell silent, looking over in confusion. Just as she was about to speak, she saw him bend down and hug her.

"Huh?" His body stiffened instantly.

Su Cheng gently patted her back and said tenderly, "Thank you for your care and concern in every way."

"you"

Eleven hesitated, a faint blush rising on her cool, jade-like face, and her tone softened unconsciously.

"Go back and change your clothes quickly. It's not appropriate to dress so casually."
