I was busy with chores just now and didn't have a good dinner. Why am I cooing at this time...

Lu Wuxian looked at Lian Mei's panicked expression. If the room was brightly lit, he would definitely be able to see her face turning red.

Lian Mei was thinking hard about excuses, and Lu Wuxian's expression suddenly relaxed.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

He laughed heartily while lying on the bed, and Lian Mei couldn't help but turn her head.

...Yes, this master cannot pretend not to hear in an empathetic manner...

"What...are you hungry?"

Moreover, he asked questions that were difficult to answer.

Lian Mei was so embarrassed that she wanted to push his head away and run away.

At this time, Lu Wuxian sat up.

"Hey, go get that basket."

"..."

She looked in the direction of Lu Wuxian's finger and found a large rattan basket placed on the shelf beside the wall.

Lian Mei brought the basket over, and Lu Wuxian took out a paper bag and handed it to Lian Mei.

"Eat it!"

"..."

"Aren't you hungry? Eat!"

Lian Mei lowered her head and saw that it was a steamed cake, and the sweet fragrance hit her nostrils.

Although she was hungry, she still didn't dare to reach out.

The snacks in the prince's bedroom belong to the prince. Even if the prince asks him to eat them on a whim, he would not dare...

Lian Mei looked troubled, Lu Wuxian pouted, he took out the steamed cake and handed it to Lian Mei roughly.

"Eat!"

"..."

If he didn't eat it, he might be angry. Lian Mei took it and Lu Wuxian finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Then...I ate."

"Um."

Lian Mei was very concerned about Lu Wuxian's gaze and put it in her mouth cautiously.

……ah!

"Delicious……"

She couldn't help but admire, Lu Wuxian smiled like an innocent child.

"Is it delicious? Eat more."

"……well."

After Lian Mei realized that there was no need to be polite, she realized that she was very hungry.

She continued to eat the steamed cake, and Lu Wuxian lay down again with a face as happy as if he was still drunk.

...Who said the prince was in a bad mood when he got up? There is no such thing...

Maybe others don’t want to work the night shift, so they push it to me!

Lian Mei was thinking this and found that Lu Wuxian's eyes were about to close again.

"...Your Highness can still sleep for a while, there is still some time before morning."

"I dont want to sleep."

He obviously looked sleepy, but he was trying to be brave.

Hearing his tone of voice, which sounded like a child making trouble, Lian Mei laughed softly.

"Then I'll sing to you."

"Sing?"

Lian Mei began to hum softly. It was the lullaby that Lian Mei's biological mother sang to coax her to sleep.

The soft singing made Lu Wuxian's eyes gradually close... and then he heard the sound of even breathing.

...he really fell asleep...

Lian Mei held back her laughter, stood up gently, wrapped up the uneaten steamed cakes, and put the basket back in its place.

She tiptoed back to the chair in the corner of the room, fearing to wake Lu Wuxian...

"..."

Lian Mei couldn't help but stood by the bed again, looking at Lu Wuxian's face.

He slept deeply.

It's some time until morning.

Lian Mei sat on Lu Wuxian's pillow like before.

...before dawn comes,

Before dawn...

"I will always be...here."

She murmured. Logically speaking, Lu Wuxian wouldn't hear her, but his lips moved slightly, as if he was answering.

He is indeed a willful child...a child who will fall asleep after listening to a lullaby.

He must have been sleepy just now, so he gave the snacks to the hungry maid.

...Yes, he just had a whim...

Once he wakes up, he will forget.

As long as I remember...

Lian Mei sat next to Lu Wuxian until the other maids came in after dawn.

…

That night, Lu Wuxian woke up in the middle of the night and was in a good mood. It turned out to be just a whim. I heard from other maids that whether Lu Wuxian woke up in the middle of the night or in the morning, he would lose his temper with the maids.

Lian Mei worked the night shift several more times, but Lu Wuxian only woke up that one time.

A year later, Lian Mei learned to sternly refuse chores forced on her by others, and she also learned to eat on time, but her impression of Lu Wuxian remained almost unchanged.

Lu Wuxian is still a willful and selfish young master.

Moreover, those followers almost put Lu Wuxian on a pedestal and encouraged him to inherit the throne that he had no right to inherit. Lu Wuxian actually believed it.

Lian Mei saw it and thought it was too funny, but she felt a little sympathy for him.

The late emperor's condition is getting worse and worse, but the Qinghe Palace is becoming more and more lively. Everyone hopes that after Lu Wuxian becomes emperor, he can get a piece of the pie. Even the maids are competing for favor with their beauty.

...so stupid...

How could he be qualified to be the emperor? If he usurped the throne, he would not be able to represent the crown prince Lu Fusu, and there is no need to expect the Yuan Kingdom to have any future.

When Lian Mei walked out of Lu Wuxian's room, Lu Wuxian's mother, Concubine Chen, and Lu Wuxian's new love, the aristocratic daughter, came from the other end of the corridor with a group of maids.

Sister Lian opened the door and silently lowered her head to greet them.

"What about the child? Is he still sleeping? It's already noon..."

"Concubine Chen, I can wait. Your Highness is in a particularly bad mood every time he wakes up."

Her heavy makeup and strong fragrance masked the scent of narcissus.

"You're already here. I'm so sorry. Will the child agree to marry you and become the queen?"

"Yes, His Highness happily agreed. Now we just wait for the Emperor to make up his mind quickly..."

"If there wasn't that prince..."

Lian Mei walked to the corridor and closed the door.

There are already so many maids waiting on you, so you don't need to join in the fun.

...Do you really want to be the emperor?

The higher the position, the greater the responsibility. The prince currently lives a carefree life and does not need to bear the heavy responsibilities of being an emperor. On the contrary, his life is more carefree.

Those sycophants around Lu Wuxian are just some of the noble officials. Once they continue to compete for the throne, Lu Wuxian will lose in the end.

Even Lian Mei, who knows nothing about government affairs, understands this clearly.
