Bai Zhi'er raised her bright, watery eyes and immediately saw her father.
She held a spoon in her mouth, waving joyfully: "Daddy~"
The ministers quickly bowed and paid their respects.
Yet some felt that the Emperor's arrival was untimely.
Seeing that the Princess was about to finish the morning court duties, wouldn't the Emperor's arrival at this moment cause delays?
Bai Xilie hurried over and picked up the little one.
Even with the civil and military officials present, Bai Xilie still wore an apologetic expression.
He first apologized to his daughter.
"Zhi'er, Daddy was late, letting you, a little one, bear the burden. It's all Daddy's fault."
Bai Xilie tenderly wiped the milk off his daughter's lips.
He heard from the palace attendant at Ruizhu Palace that Bai Zhi'er, to not delay the morning court, had attended on behalf of her father.
Bai Xilie felt extremely guilty inside.
On Bai Zhi'er's delicate, jade-white face, a sweet and adorable smile appeared.
