Thanks Q for reading and for the reward from “Qingsi Budai”. Muah~

************************

Li Shuning arrived, so naturally, she couldn’t let this body suffer from any aftereffects.

In the real world, she has the cultivation of the Second Level of Qi Refinement. During this time while nurturing the body, she also integrated her real-world cultivation with this body’s.

With cultivation, she naturally had the ability to expel the coldness from her body.

After the Imperial Physician examined Li Shuning’s body and declared her recovered, the Emperor immediately relocated Li Shuning’s residence.

Just like in the plot, the Emperor gifted Lanxin Hall to Li Shuning, which is very close to his own chamber.

The Palace Maid and eunuchs were personally chosen by the Emperor, and he even selected some eunuchs with high martial arts skills to secretly guard Li Shuning.

After all, having experienced an incident of falling into the water once, the Emperor didn’t want anything to happen again. If something were to happen to Xiao Six, it would be too late for regrets.

This behavior of the Emperor, however, incited jealousy among the women in the harem. Many desired Lanxin Hall, yet it was given to a mere young girl.

These days, with the Imperial Physician watching over her, Li Shuning’s mind began to stir with some ideas.

The Emperor’s health wasn’t good, but she could help regulate it for him.

Li Shuning thought of the task small world she hadn’t used in a long time. That day after nightfall, she mentioned she wanted to rest, released her Puppet, and entered the task small world.

The task small world had undergone many changes. Li Shuning simply sent a message, then obtained some medicinal materials and refined some Strengthening Pills.

As the name suggests, the Strengthening Pills have an effect that consolidates one’s foundation and nourishes vitality.

This Emperor is rather wise. Although his health is poor, he never neglects handling state affairs.

He was born as the Crown Prince, trained from a young age, able to ascend the throne at a young age, keeping the dynasty in order and won the respect of the ministers. The Emperor himself is very astute.

If he remains, what capabilities could the Eldest Prince possibly demonstrate to do such things?

Oh, right, the current Eldest Prince hasn’t reached the age for marriage yet, but he’s thirteen years old now. It seems that it won’t be long before he meets his true love.

She wanted to see, if the Emperor remains on the throne, what the Eldest Prince would dare to do?

Oh, by the way, the Crown Princess Consort from the plot shouldn’t cause harm to others anymore.

Li Shuning covered her mouth and laughed lightly. Since they love each other so much, how could she not fulfill their union?

The Strengthening Pills are only effective for ordinary people, and refining them doesn’t require much effort.

Li Shuning placed all the Strengthening Pills into a porcelain bottle, stored them in the Qiankun Ring, and then returned to the task world.

Inside the Strengthening Pills, there is an ingredient that is royal jelly, which can instantly dissolve when placed in tea, and imparts a sweet flavor.

Li Shuning instructed the Palace Maid that she would like to drink honey water.

Li Shuning demonstrated an infinite fondness for honey water. Therefore, the water in the teapot at Lanxin Hall was either honey water or plain boiled water.

After moving into Lanxin Hall, whenever the Emperor had time, he would come to visit and sit with Li Shuning.

Oddly, the Emperor felt very relaxed and at ease being with his daughter.

Naturally, the Emperor is also lonely, and the body of Li Shuning indeed carries his bloodline.

Moreover, since Li Shuning wasn’t a real child, her ability to read people’s expressions made her interactions with the Emperor more relaxed and casual than other Princes and Princesses.

The Emperor naturally enjoyed spending time with Li Shuning. He did not want his child to always approach him with awe, fear, or flattery.

Li Shuning sensed the Emperor and his entourage approaching with her spiritual power and instructed Shao Yao to prepare some delicious snacks for her. She didn’t plan to act unusually, and she trusted Shao Yao the most, who usually attended to her.

Once Shao Yao left, no one was around. The moment Li Shuning opened the teapot, a Strengthening Pill from the Qiankun Ring fell into it.

When the Emperor and his group entered, they did so silently, but Li Shuning was already aware. Although she was eight years old, her short stature made her appear only five or six years old.

To reach the teapot on the table, she naturally had to climb onto a chair.

What the Emperor saw was Li Shuning looking like a little kitten, face full of satisfaction, and holding a teacup in her hand.

Upon seeing the Emperor, Li Shuning’s eyes widened.

Then Li Shuning gave an awkward smile and said, “Father, are you thirsty?”

Immediately, she playfully grabbed a teacup and poured a cup of tea for the Emperor.

The Emperor, feeling lovingly protective of his daughter, when he saw Li Shuning trying to get down from the chair, immediately went over to help her, lifting Li Shuning down.

A nearby little eunuch stepped forward, intending to taste the drink first, as was customary.

Yet, how could the Emperor let a little eunuch drink his daughter’s filial tea? He directly took up the cup and drank a big mouthful.

This sip was surprisingly sweet, leaving a lingering fragrance.

The Emperor chuckled inwardly, was it because the tea was poured by his own daughter that made it taste better?

“Xiao Six, what kind of tea is this? It seems quite delicious.”

Li Shuning answered with a sweet smile, “Father, isn’t it tasty? It’s honey water. I heard from Doctor Wang that drinking honey regularly is good for health. It’s sweet, and I like it. Father likes it too, don’t you?”

Li Shuning’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked at the Emperor.

The Emperor, amused, patted Li Shuning’s head, “Yes, it tastes good. Father also likes it.”

As Li Shuning immediately became overjoyed, the Emperor also burst into laughter.

When Shao Yao returned with the snacks, she noticed many eunuchs standing by the door.

With a smile at the corner of her mouth, Shao Yao brought the snacks inside.

Li Shuning took a Jujube Cake in one hand, ate a few bites, and then sipped a bit of honey water.

Seeing Li Shuning eating with such joy, the Emperor’s smile never faded, and unconsciously, he also ate a few pieces of cake.

“Xiao Six, next time eat more at meals. Eating too many snacks isn’t good for your health or your teeth.”

“Father, I understand,” Li Shuning replied.

Father and daughter chatted for a while before the Emperor decided to stay and have lunch together.

News had already been sent out from Shao Yao’s side, so after lunch was served, the Eldest Prince also came.

Seeing the Emperor, the Eldest Prince was a bit surprised. After paying respect, the Emperor permitted him to stay for lunch.

Li Shuning pouted. This Eldest Prince’s actions were truly disgusting.

The original host had never thought deeply about it. She relied fully and trusted her brother wholeheartedly. How could she imagine that this person was so repulsive?

In the past, he never visited Li Shuning, but placed spies around her. Whenever the Emperor came and stayed for a while, he would rush over.

As expected, just as before, after finishing the meal, the Eldest Prince respectfully asked the Emperor a few questions.

As the eldest son, being humble and discussing scholarly matters naturally made the Emperor serious.

After their discussion, the Emperor had matters to attend to.

The Eldest Prince also bid farewell to Li Shuning after the Emperor left.

Li Shuning noticed the gleam in Shao Yao’s eyes and the blush on her cheeks, feeling nauseated by these two people.
