Handing over the clothes to Ye Xiao, she spoke softly, “Please deliver these clothes to King Cheng’s mansion for me.

Upon seeing the clothes in her hand, a twinkle appeared in Ye Xiao’s eyes, as if recalling something. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “Yes, 1 will go at once,” she said.

Upon finishing her sentence, Ye Xiao took the clothes from Jiang Peihuan’s hands and swiftly left the plum garden.

After leaving the plum garden, Ye Xiao headed straight to King Cheng’s mansion.

In the front courtyard of King Cheng’s Mansion.

“Who’s there?”

At the sound, Han Feng immediately unsheathed his long sword. “Ye Xiao, why are you here?”

Spotting the person before him, Han Feng showed a hint of surprise and quickly sheathed his sword.

Ye Xiao gave him a cool glance before coldly speaking, “Eldest Miss asked me to find King Cheng. Where’s His Highness?”

“The master hasn’t woken up yet. What does your lady want? Why don’t you tell me first, and I…”

“Your Highness.”

Before Han Feng could finish his sentence, a door beside them opened.

Seeing Xiao Nanye standing at the doorway, Ye Xiao hurriedly stepped forward.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Xiao Nanye immediately asked, “Has something happened to Huan Er?”

As he spoke, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. Seeing his expression, Ye Xiao quickly responded, “Eldest Miss is fine.”

“I came here because Eldest Miss instructed me to deliver something to Your Highness.”

As she spoke, Ye Xiao offered the clothes in her hands.

Accepting the clothes from Ye Xiao, Xiao Nanye immediately unfolded them.

Upon seeing the clothes, Xiao Nanye’s eyes were filled with delight. Looking at Ye Xiao, he asked in a low voice, “Did Huan Er make these?”

“Eldest Miss made them last night, staying up late to do so.”

Upon hearing Ye Xiao’s words, the joy in Xiao Nanye’s eyes deepened. However, knowing that Jiang Peihuan had spent the entire night making the clothes, a hint of worry also appeared in his eyes.

Looking at Ye Xiao, he asked anxiously, “Huan Er didn’t sleep all night?”

Recalling the light in Jiang Peihuan’s room that had been on the entire night, Ye Xiao nodded.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiao Nanye swiftly leave.

Looking in the direction he left, she realized he was heading towards the General’s Mansion.

It was already daytime, but Xiao Nanye still habitually climbed over the wall into the plum garden.

Arriving at Jiang Peihuan’s room, Xiao Nanye unconsciously lightened his steps, carefully pushing open the door. He immediately spotted Jiang Peihuan lying on the bed.

Perhaps she was truly exhausted. Even as Xiao Nanye approached, Jiang Peihuan didn’t wake up.

Having returned to life, Jiang Peihuan’s sleep was usually restless. However, the familiar scent of Xiao Nanye seemed to keep her undisturbed.

Xiao Nanye sat quietly by the bed, making no noise and simply watching the person on it.

During this time, Yue Er and Lu Er tried to approach the room, but they were sent away by Xiao Nanye.

The two maid servants of the plum garden had grown accustomed to seeing Xiao Nanye in Jiang Peihuan’s room, so they quietly withdrew.

Uninterrupted, Jiang Peihuan slept straight through to noon.

She hadn’t slept this long in a long time. When she opened her eyes, she was still a bit groggy, but quickly, Jiang Peihuan’s sleepiness vanished.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Jiang Peihuan grabbed her whip and swung it.

“Huan Er, your reflexes upon waking are truly surprising.”

Xiao Nanye caught Jiang Peihuan’s whip with one hand and held a teacup in the other, not spilling a drop.

Seeing Xiao Nanye let go of the whip and approach, Jiang Peihuan showed a hint of surprise. “Why are you in my room?”

“I came to thank you.”

As he spoke, Xiao Nanye handed her the teacup.

Having slept for so long, Jiang Peihuan was indeed thirsty. Accepting the cup, she drained the contents in one go.

“Would you like more?”

Naturally taking the empty cup from her, Xiao Nanye asked softly.

Jiang Peihuan shook her head.

Setting the teacup aside, Xiao Nanye then took out the clothes.

In front of Jiang Peihuan, he unbuttoned his own robe. Seeing his actions, Jiang Peihuan was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, she quickly turned her gaze away and quietly asked, “What are you doing?”

Xiao Nanye didn’t respond, but after removing his robe, he directly put on the one made by Jiang Peihuan.

“Huan Er, look.”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s voice, Jiang Peihuan lifted her head.

The navy blue robe worn by him enhanced his noble demeanor, making him appear even more aloof. The silver border and hidden patterns added an extra touch of elegance.

“Does it look good?”

Xiao Nanye turned a full circle in front of Jiang Peihuan with a smile on his face, then asked, appearing like a child.

“Your highness came over just to ask me if this dress looks good?”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s response, Xiao Nanye nodded, and then earnestly said, “This outfit was made by you, Huan Er, so naturally, you should be the first to see me wear it.”

“Huan Er, you still haven’t answered my question. Do I look good in this outfit?”

“Yes.”

No matter what Xiao Nanye wears, with his handsome face, he can’t look ugly.

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s response, disappointment flashed in Xiao Nanye’s eyes, “Huan Er, your reaction is a bit of a letdown.”

Perhaps realizing that her reaction was somewhat perfunctory, Jiang Peihuan added two more words, “You look good.”

Upon hearing this, a smile lit up Xiao Nanye’s eyes. Looking at Jiang Peihuan, he laughed and said, “1 think so too.”

However, as soon as his words were out, he carefully removed the outfit, folding it neatly.

Seeing his actions, a look of confusion crossed Jiang Peihuan’s face, “Your Highness, you don’t like the color?”

“No, 1 like it very much.”

“Then?” Why did Your Highness take it off?

“This outfit was made by Huan Er’s own hands, it’s very precious, I want to preserve it carefully. How could 1 casually wear such a valuable item and risk damaging it?”

“Clothes are meant to be worn, your highness. Wear it without worries, if it gets damaged, 1 can make a new one for you.”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Peihuan responded reflexively, but immediately regretted her words.

However, satisfaction filled Xiao Nanye’s eyes when he heard her words, “If that’s the case, then I look forward to Huan Er’s hand made clothes.”

As he spoke, he had already put on the outfit he had just folded neatly.

“Knock, knock…”

“Miss, the Third Madam asks for you.”

At this point, a knock came from the door, followed by Yue Er’s voice.

Upon hearing Yue Er’s voice, Jiang Peihuan responded, looking towards the door, “Tell my Third Aunt that I will be right there.”

The sound of footsteps gradually faded from the door..
