The emperor also looked down at the little girl. She was cute and smart, and her looks were no less beautiful than those of the ladies from wealthy families, especially her eyebrows and eyes, which were particularly delicate.

"This must be You Ran!" the emperor suddenly said.

"Rui Xiang greets the emperor!" Li Youran bowed to the emperor.

"You're welcome, get up quickly!" The emperor wanted to help Li Youran, but Li Youran stood up quickly.

Father Li and Madam Ye were both a little overwhelmed, as it was their first time meeting the Emperor and Empress!

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I come here every time to see if you are happy with your wishes. If there is anything wrong, please point it out and I will find someone to correct it!" The emperor signaled everyone not to be nervous.

"Uncle Emperor, my parents have never met such an important person, so they are bound to be nervous. I feel very satisfied." Li Youran answered on behalf of Li's father.

The maid brought tea and placed it next to the emperor and empress.

The queen gracefully picked up the teacup, opened the lid and saw that it was not tea.

"What is this?" the queen asked puzzledly.

"Auntie Yan, this is a very good milk tea sold in Qizhou. You can try it." Li Youran tried his best to promote the milk tea.

"Okay, I'll try it." The queen said, gently picking up the teacup and taking a sip. The unique taste instantly spread in her mouth. She had never tasted such a drink before. It had the freshness of tea and the mellowness of milk, sweet and delicious.

The black round pearl meatballs slide into your mouth, with a soft yet chewy texture that leaves you with an endless aftertaste.

"It's delicious. I have never tasted such delicious tea!" Queen Liu couldn't help but praise it directly.

"Auntie Yan, there's more after you finish drinking it!" Li Youran reminded with a smile.

"Is it really as the Queen said? Let me try it too." The Emperor picked up the tea bowl curiously and took a sip carefully.

After taking a sip, he was immediately amazed, and then drank it all without hesitation, "Give me some more!"

Li Youran looked at their reactions and couldn't help but laugh secretly. The expressions and reactions of these two were so funny that she couldn't help but laugh.

Song Nanyao noticed that Li Youran was grinning, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

As the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, Father Li gradually let go of his restraint and began to chat with the emperor. They talked about the daily trivialities of ordinary people, but the emperor listened with great interest.

The Li family gradually discovered that the emperor was not only humble, but also very amiable. He was a good emperor who was truly down-to-earth and cared about the lives of the people.

The Queen also chatted with Ye. No one knew what Ye was chatting about, but she just talked about the cooking methods of her favorite dishes. Queen Liu felt hungry after hearing that and wanted to go back and try cooking herself.

They had lunch at the Princess's Mansion. Ye went into the kitchen herself and cooked a few dishes that Li Youran had taught her.

The emperor and empress loved it so much that they sent their royal chefs to learn how to make it.

After lunch, the emperor and empress were ready to return to the palace, but Song Nanyao stayed and shared interesting things in the capital with Li Youran.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is Li Youran's birthday.

Before this, the mansion had sent out many invitations to all parties, but Li Youran was not sure whether those dignitaries and nobles would come to show their support.

Early in the morning, just as the sun rose, Li Youran got up from bed early and was pulled by the excited Zhiyan to wash and dress up.

"Miss, after today, you will be a three-year-old girl!" Zhiyan said happily.

"Yes, but I'm still very young! I'm only three years old!" Li Youran had different thoughts in her mind. She longed to grow up quickly.

"Dress up beautifully today and celebrate your birthday happily!" Zhiyan said as she skillfully combed Li Youran's hair and made it into an exquisite hairstyle.

Li Youran is wearing a bright red dress, like a blooming flower. It is November now, the weather is getting colder, and people are starting to add clothes to keep out the cold.

Afterwards, Li Youran stepped out of the room and came to the dining room, where there were many tables and chairs, which were decorated very exquisitely.

Then she went to the main hall, where many unfamiliar faces gathered, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking at these strangers, Li Youran couldn't help but wonder: Are they here to participate sincerely with me?

"Are you Princess Ruixiang?" A female voice came from behind Li Youran, with a bit of disdain and contempt.

Li Youran frowned slightly and turned around, only to see a woman in a light green dress standing not far away, looking up and down at him with a scrutinizing gaze. The woman looked about the same age as him, but she acted superior.

Li Youran couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, but she tried to remain calm and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Her tone was cold and distant.

The girl raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and said: "It's okay, I just didn't expect that such a young kid could be named a princess, it's really intoxicating..." As she spoke, she shook her head slightly, as if she felt that this fact was very absurd.

Li Youran's eyes suddenly became sharp. She straightened her back and responded without showing any weakness: "This princess was canonized by the emperor himself. Do I need your consent? If you find it an eyesore, please stay away!" Her voice was crisp and firm, full of majesty.

The girl obviously didn't expect Li Youran to respond so rudely. She was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Li Youran with a trembling finger and said with gritted teeth: "You! Do you know who I am? I'm from the Marquis' Mansion..."

However, she suddenly stopped mid-sentence because she realized that what she was about to say might not be that significant.

Li Youran sneered and continued with her unfinished words, "What do you mean by Marquis' Mansion? Could she be the concubine's daughter of the Marquis' Mansion?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, as if she had already seen through the other person's identity.

The girl's face turned red. She glared at Li Youran fiercely, then flicked her sleeves, turned around and left, walking hurriedly and looking a little embarrassed.

Li Youran looked at her retreating figure, smiled disdainfully, and whispered to himself, "A concubine's daughter, she really thinks she is so great."

Then she turned around and prepared to move forward, leaving the unpleasantness behind.

As soon as the girl left, a woman in light blue came over. She was about eleven or twelve years old. The light blue dress made her skin look as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and her every move was so elegant that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

"I'm so sorry. I just heard the maid come to tell me that my sister came to cause trouble for Princess Ruixiang. Today is the first time I brought her out. I'm sorry for offending her. Please forgive me, Princess Ruixiang! I will definitely teach her a lesson when I go back!" When the girl spoke, her voice was crisp and pleasant, as beautiful as an oriole singing out of a valley.

"No need to apologize. Are you her sister? You are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion!" Li Youran looked at the girl in front of him and found her very kind, with every frown and smile showing good manners.

"Thank you for your understanding, Princess Ruixiang. I am Su Tingyao, the Marquis of Pingyang. My father is the Marquis of Ping'an. That was my sister Su Ningke. I am very happy to meet Princess Ruixiang!"

Su Tingyao introduced herself with a faint smile on her face, appearing very gentle and generous. She also nodded to prove that what Li Youran said was correct.

"I'm Princess Li Youran, and I'm very happy to meet Sister Tingyao!" Li Youran was also very happy to meet this sister from the Marquis's Mansion. She felt that she had a unique temperament that made her want to get closer to her.

"Today is your birthday, I give this to you! It can also be considered as an apology gift from my sister!" Su Tingyao took out a wooden box from the maid. The appearance of the wooden box was very delicate.

"Thank you! She must be very happy to have such a good sister like you!" Li Youran let Zhiyan beside her take it.
