Just when Xuanyuan Jing thought he already knew just how outrageous his daughter was, his little girl always managed to tell him that she could be even more outrageous.

Watching the wooden boat bob around in the bathtub without sinking at all, Xuan Yuanjing asked with some difficulty, "Xingxing, should we get a different gift?"

Although Xuanyuan Jing felt he could protect his star, perhaps it would be safer to hide it a little longer?

Xiao Lanxing asked in confusion, "Why?"

Xuanyuan Jing thought for a moment and then came up with a somewhat difficult reason: "Father likes this and doesn't want you to give it away."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Jing felt it was inappropriate.

Xiao Lanxing: "Huh? But I'm giving Daddy a better and bigger ship, so Daddy doesn't need to be reluctant to part with this one!"

A few thoughts flashed through Xuan Yuanjing's mind. Upon hearing this, he exclaimed "Ah!" and suddenly asked, "Xingxing, are you interested in making money with this?"

Xiao Lanxing: "Huh?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "What I mean is, do you want to sell similar ships to those powerful and wealthy families at a high price?"

It would be difficult to hide her, as his little girl is incredibly capable, and he feels it would be unfair to her if he kept her hidden.

However, leaving it unattended was not a good idea, so Xuanyuan Jing quickly changed his mind and thought that it would be better to turn the "special" into the "ordinary".

But the girl has to be willing.

If the girl is not willing, then Xuanyuan Jing will have to think of another way.

But when Xiao Lanxing heard this, she stared blankly at Xuan Yuanjing for a long while. While Xuan Yuanjing was wondering if he had said something wrong, her little face suddenly turned into an expression of sudden realization: "You can do it like that!"

System: [...You made a lot of money from this before!]

You don't remember anything at all!

It's no wonder that Xiao Lanxing didn't think of it. For a little baby whose food, clothing, and daily necessities were all taken care of, she had no need for money at all, so how could she possibly think about making money?

As soon as Xuanyuan Jing mentioned it, it was like a switch was flipped, and the little girl's "common sense" popped out!

Little Lanxing blinked her big eyes, pounced on Xuan Yuanjing, and asked excitedly, "Can I make money?"

Xuanyuan Jing chuckled: "Of course you can. Nobody outside has ever seen your ship before. I'm sure someone would be willing to spend money to buy one and put it at home."

Xuanyuan Jing: "It doesn't need to be as exquisite as this one; it's fine if it's a little rough."

As long as the ship in Huo Wubing's hands doesn't appear too special or attract too much attention, it's fine.

Xiao Lanxing: "I can make many, many more things, and I'll share them all!"

Xuanyuan Jing: "...Father doesn't want you to work too hard."

Xiao Lanxing: "It's okay, I can teach them how to make it, just like with the crossbows before!"

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

Xuanyuan Jing suddenly felt a pang of conscience, as if he were trying to coax a baby out of a mountain of gold.

Before Xuanyuan Jing could say anything, Xiao Lanxing started chattering away: "I can also make cars, cats and dogs, and furniture..."

Xuanyuan Jing cleared his throat: "Stars."

Xiao Lanxing: "Huh?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "You know so many things, have you told anyone other than your father?"

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head: "No."

Xuanyuan Jing smiled: "From now on, just tell Daddy about these things, and then Daddy will help Xingxing decide what you can do, okay?" The child is too young, so we still need to supervise her.

"Of course, Xingxing, you can tell Daddy what you want to do. If you don't want to, then you won't do it."

Xiao Lanxing: "Okay."

Xiao Lanxing said innocently, "That's exactly what I'm doing right now!"

Xuanyuan Jing: "Hmm, Xingxing is so good!"

Afterwards, Xuanyuan Jing personally oversaw the selection process, choosing several absolutely loyal and reliable people to be Xiao Lanxing's apprentices before returning to his residence.

Xiao Lanxing was overjoyed. Every day, he would ask his eldest, second, and third apprentices for help, without ever feeling that there was anything wrong with taking on several apprentices at such a young age.

Xuan Yuanjing, on the other hand, kept a close eye on his disciples for several days and privately gave them a warning, telling them not to take advantage of the young girl's age to fool them.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, the young girl lived a carefree life, teaching her apprentices while also building Xuan Yuanjing's "big ship".

Xuanyuan Jing was somewhat displeased.

For no other reason than that, the Prince's Mansion did not continue to close its doors to visitors this time.

Since Xuanyuan Jing is preparing to appear in public, he will inevitably need to engage in the necessary social interactions.

But all those ups and downs had nothing to do with the little girl.

Although some families tried to get in touch with Xiao Lanxing—after all, every family has a few children—Xuanyuan Jing stopped them all.

At times like these, many people start to wonder about the Princess Consort of Jing – if the Prince Jing’s mansion had a female master, many things would be much easier to manage, wouldn’t they?

However, after some time, Xuanyuan Jing became increasingly unwilling to consider marriage.

If he refuses, then even if someone strips him naked and puts him in bed, he won't succeed.

Meanwhile, Princess Jiaxuan's residence also received a thank-you gift and invitation arranged by Xuanyuan Jing.

"Mother, mother!"

Huo Wubing arrived before he did, but his voice preceded his arrival, which amused the two people inside the room.

Xuan Yuan Lan Jia said helplessly to the woman sitting next to her, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but this kid... if I don't take care of him for a while, he'll become more and more irresponsible."

The woman was the matriarch of the Huo family and was quite famous in the clan. She had a harmonious relationship with Xuan Yuan Lan Jia, and her visit today was a private social gathering.

Hearing Xuan Yuan Lan Jia say this, she covered her face and chuckled, her tone gentle: "Your Highness is right. It is a great thing to see the young master so lively. I am only happy to see him like this."

Xuanyuan Lanjia: "It's all thanks to Lord Liu's miraculous healing skills. Kang Kang has been taking care of himself for the past few years according to the methods he gave him, and his health has become better and better."

"Lord Liu's medical skills are indeed superb, but unfortunately he has now become an imperial physician, so it is not appropriate for us to bother him."

The position of imperial physician does not allow anyone other than the emperor to be treated without the emperor's order.

Huo Wubing rushed in at that moment, excitedly asking, "Mother, did Lanxing send me something?"

Xuanyuan Lanjia glanced at him: "Calling me by my name again. If your aunt hears you, she'll correct you again."

Huo Wubing stuck out his tongue and looked at her expectantly: "Mother, what did the Prince Jing's mansion send?"

Xuanyuan Lanjia tapped his little nose, then gestured to the maid to bring Huo Wubing a cup of warm water to soothe his throat. She turned to the woman and said, "I met my uncle's daughter at the palace banquet earlier. Seeing that she was alone in the palace, I helped her for a while."

“My uncle had been living outside the city, but now that he has returned, he has arranged for someone to deliver a gift of thanks.”

This serves as an explanation to prevent the other party from overthinking.

Then, Xuan Yuan Lan Jia picked up the unopened invitation card on the table and handed it to Huo Wu Bing: "Here, the people from the Jing Prince's Mansion said this invitation card was prepared for you by your aunt. Take a look."

Huo Wubing's eyes lit up, and he excitedly took it. Upon opening it, he saw a small, dark handprint.

Huo Wubing: ?
