The next day, Lin Yi, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, accompanied the young Emperor on a walk in the Imperial Garden.
At that moment, a three or four-year-old girl in a small pink qipao happily bounced over, chased by a panicked palace maid who grabbed her.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. This servant knows her wrongdoing and will take the little princess away immediately!"
Lin Yi quickly shielded the young Emperor behind him, "Such a flustered display, should you bump into His Majesty's dragon form, how many heads do you have to chop off!"
Although she was still a meter away from the young Emperor, Lin Yi's scolding terrified the palace maid, who immediately knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.
The young Emperor cleared his throat, feeling a warm current wrap around his heart, not expecting this scoundrel to also show such a considerate side.
"Rise. Since she is the little princess, then take good care of her, but how come I seemed to have never seen her before?"
