It was late at night by the time they left the Commandery Princess Mansion.
Li Ji helped Manman into the carriage.
Once they were seated, the carriage slowly started to move.
Because she had drunk some wine, Hua Manman grew drowsy and couldn't stop yawning.
Li Ji touched her hand and found her fingers were ice-cold.
It was still autumn, so the nights weren't exceptionally cold, but with Manman's current constitution, she still felt the chill.
Li Ji pulled her into his arms.
Manman snuggled against him, resting her head on his body and falling into an even deeper sleep.
She didn't know when she had gotten home; by the time she woke up, it was already the next morning.
Si Yun and Qing Huan attended to Manman, helping her dress and wash up.
Li Ji took the cloth from Si Yun and personally wiped Manman's face.
He had never waited on anyone before, so his movements were inevitably clumsy. Fortunately, he was patient enough, and his every move was very gentle.
