Ji Qingwu had once told the little girl the story of Sleeping Beauty. 'She hadn't expected her to remember it.'
She turned her head and lifted the bed canopy, and a piercing light streamed in.
Ji Qingwu pushed herself up on the mattress and sat up. "Where did you get this sugar cake?" she asked.
'The sugar cakes the Emperor gave Jiu Jiu last time should have only been enough to fill a small pouch. How could she still have some?'
Jiu Jiu proudly patted her little powder-blue bag, as if showing off a treasure.
"Mama, this is a Sugar Gathering Bag! Every morning when I wake up, it's filled to the brim."
Ji Qingwu touched her forehead. 'The little girl was so adorably naive sometimes. The Hidden Guards must be sneaking them in at night.'
Jiu Jiu pouted, her voice tinged with sadness. "But ever since I came here, the bag stopped working."
'They even cut off my daughter's candy supply?' Ji Qingwu's eyes glinted as she gently pinched the girl's little cheek.
