Upon opening her eyes, she saw a familiar figure beside her.
"Emperor? Why are you here?"
Zhao Junyao replied with a smile.
"Why can't I come?"
"What time is it?" Xia Ruqing sat up and rubbed her eyes.
Usually, when the Emperor visited, it was already late, and she should be getting up for breakfast.
But this time.
Before she could get out of bed, Zhao Junyao pulled her back into the covers.
"It's still early, go back to sleep!"
He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot.
His voice had also become unusually hoarse.
"Emperor, what's wrong with you?" Xia Ruqing asked sleepily.
"It's nothing, just sleep a bit more!"
"Oh..." Xia Ruqing didn't ask any more questions.
So.
A sleepy pregnant woman, along with a weary Emperor.
They slept until it was almost noon.
Skipping breakfast altogether.
With good sleep and sweet dreams, hunger faded away.
Near noon.
Xia Ruqing woke up, urged by her biological clock.
