Chapter 521: Chapter 520: Entering the Palace, Visiting the Little Prince_1
 

“Awoo.”

As Lin Qingluo returned to Autumn Frost Residence, Baoya had already been waiting in the room. Seeing his little master enter, Baoya let out a delicate, soft cry with a silly, endearing smile on his face.

“Baoya, why are you here?”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Xuan’er misses sister and wants sister to come visit him in the palace.”

Baoya’s soft, cute little voice reached her ears.

“Where’s Xuan’er? Is he with the Empress in the Mental Cultivation Hall, or in Noble Lord’s Serene Snow Pavilion?”

Lin Qingluo’s heart tightened, feeling annoyed.

The night before, she impulsively blurted out that she would visit the Little Prince at the Serene Snow Pavilion tonight.

After a busy day, she had completely forgotten about it.

She didn’t expect Xuan’er to remember it so eagerly, even sending Baoya out of the palace to find her.

“Serene Snow Pavilion.”

Baoya’s soft, cute voice came again.

Lin Qingluo nodded: “You go back first, tell Xuan’er that sister will be there soon.”

“Alright, Baoya will wait for the master at the Serene Snow Pavilion.”

Baoya slipped out of the room with a silly smile on his face. His small, white body shot out like a bolt of lightning, quickly disappearing from sight as he leaped from one rooftop to another.

“Miss, you’ve had a long day. Have a bath and rest early.”

Qinghe, the headmaid of Fluttering Snow Residence, carried hot water and a bathtub into the room with several other maids to help Lin Qingluo bathe.

“Put the bathtub down and leave.”

Lin Qingluo didn’t like to be watched while bathing and wasn’t used to being attended to.

“Yes.”

Qinghe lowered her eyes respectfully, placed the bathtub down, and led the other maids out of the room to wait outside the door.

After swiftly finishing bathing, Lin Qingluo pretended to yawn tiredly as the maids tidied up the room. She then lifted the light blanket, laid down, and closed her eyes comfortably.

Seeing that their mistress had fallen asleep, Qinghe lowered the bed curtains, and she and the other maids left the room.

Once the door closed tightly, Lin Qingluo slowly opened her eyes, got dressed, got out of bed, and pushed open the window, quietly leaving the small courtyard.

“Master, Yin’er will help you keep an eye on the Empress.”

Little Kingfisher hovered above her head, eager to eavesdrop on the Empress. The words were enticingly sweet.

“Go ahead. If the Empress takes any unusual actions, contact me immediately.”

Lin Qingluo grinned, arrived outside the palace wall, performed an invisibility spell, and her slender, graceful body disappeared into the dark night.

Serene Snow Pavilion.

The Little Prince sat by the window with his small cheeks leaning on his hands, his eyes eagerly staring in the direction of the palace gate.

His small face, as pale and smooth as jade, was particularly eye-catching with the enchanting red mole at the center of his brows.

Lin Qingluo entered the tall courtyard walls like a wisp of blue smoke, gradually revealing her figure.

“Sister.”

The Little Prince, upon seeing the familiar figure in green, lit up his obsidian-like eyes and excitedly called out to his sister through the window.

“Xuan’er, why aren’t you asleep so late?”

Lin Qingluo gracefully leaped through the window, her caring gaze falling on the red mole on the Little Prince’s forehead, her heart sinking slightly.

“Xuan’er misses sister.”

The Little Prince acted coquettishly and clung to his sister.

“The night wind is chilly. Be careful not to catch a cold by the window.”

Lin Qingluo doted on him, rubbing his little head tenderly, her heart softening.

The Little Prince wrapped his arms around his sister and pouted, “Sister said she’d come to see Xuan’er. Why did she just come now?”

Lin Qingluo’s face showed a hint of guilt: “It’s sister’s fault for forgetting about it because she was busy.

Before her words finished, she quickly added, “In the future, if Xuan’er wants to see sister, just send Baoya to find me. If sister is free, she’ll definitely come.”

The Little Prince’s delicate eyes brightened with joy: “Sister said it, can’t forget again.”

“I won’t.”

Lin Qingluo’s warm smile carried an irresistible charm.
