The three-year-old host decides to raise an emperor father for himself.

Nuandong believed the little girl's words without hesitation and immediately turned around to instruct the guards following behind her to send one of them to inform Chen Li and Xuanyuan Jing.

The old gardener only understood what the lovely little girl had said after hearing Nuandong's translation. His trembling body stiffened, and he immediately cried out, "I'm innocent!"

"This old servant is just a gardener. These flowers were bought from flower merchants outside on the orders of the head steward. This old servant didn't know these flowers were poisonous!"

"This old servant has been tending to this flower for half a month. If it were truly poisonous, how could this old servant have survived until now!"

The system then spoke softly: "Host, congratulations, you have unlocked the hidden storyline ahead of schedule."

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head.

hold head high?

The system rummaged through the data and didn't know what to say at that moment.

The system is aware that there's a problem with the greenhouse.

However, this matter did not cause any major problems in the original timeline, because Xuanyuan Jing really had no interest in these things, and his own residence rarely had flowers, incense burners or the like.

In short, Xuanyuan Jing didn't like the place where he slept had too many smells.

So the trick the person behind the scenes left in the greenhouse didn't work at all.

If a female master had entered the Prince Jing's mansion, she might have been able to outmaneuver someone, but unfortunately, Xuan Yuanjing remained alone for the next few decades, and the mansion never welcomed a female master.

Let alone the female owner, Xuan Yuanjing almost lost all his physical desires after he turned evil.

Therefore, the system did not specifically inform Xiao Lanxing about this.

When the system heard today that Xiao Lanxing was coming to the flower room, it briefly considered whether to remind her, but then it wanted to see what the girl's current condition was, so it didn't say anything.

The result is what we see now.

Good news, the system is certain that its host has not truly lost their memory, and will still decompress some information at crucial moments.

The bad news is that, whether it's because the child's brain is still developing and not suitable for absorbing too much information, or because Xiao Lanxing, who has no memory, is not interested in that kind of information, anyway...

In terms of memory, its host has virtually no subjective initiative.

If it weren't during the execution of a mission, and if the target's corruption level weren't fluctuating wildly, the system wouldn't want to think about what was wrong with its host being addicted to baby mode.

But to say how urgent this matter is... it seems unnecessary at the moment.

At least, when Xuan Yuanjing's level of corruption increases due to other events, it will decrease to some extent when facing Xiao Lanxing, making him relatively safe in a certain sense.

System: This is really tough for me.

System: [In short, this person does have some issues. Hand him over to Xuanyuan Jing.]

When the news reached Xuanyuan Jing's ears, he remained silent for only a brief moment before accepting the fact that his little daughter had once again unearthed a hidden danger for him.

He glanced at the young man in black standing straight to one side: "She's such a lucky charm."

Young man: "...You're not angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? It was something I expected." Xuan Yuanjing said calmly, his eyes slightly lowered. "At least, I haven't reached the point where everyone has turned against me. Those who were already alienated from me don't need my attention."

"That's good," the young man said, bowing slightly. "Then shall I go and bring that young lady back?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "No need. You've been traveling day and night, and you must be tired. Go back and rest for a day."

Upon hearing this, the young man paused slightly, then replied, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

After everyone left, Xuanyuan Jing asked, "Did Chen Li go over there?"

"Your Highness, Chief Steward Chen has already gone."

Xuanyuan Jing did not speak again, and the room fell silent once more. Apart from the sound of the wind outside, the only other sound was the soft rustling of the brush as it was being written.

In this silence, the atmosphere seemed to gradually become stagnant.

until……

"Daddy!"

The crisp, clear voice of a child pierced through the gradually chilling atmosphere of the room like a swift arrow.

The man who was writing something paused slightly, then continued writing. Although he did not look up, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his lips.

Familiar footsteps approached from afar, and the little girl's voice gradually became clearer: "Daddy, I'm here!"

Da da da.

Da da da.

It felt as if someone was gently tapping his heart with a small hammer, causing his heart to beat uncontrollably with her approach.

"Miss, please slow down, don't fall."

Is Father inside?

"Replying to Miss, the Prince is in his study."

Xuanyuan Jing ultimately failed to finish writing that sentence. He put down his pen, turned around, and walked around the desk. "Stars."

The little girl immediately stopped asking the person guarding the door, skillfully stepped over the threshold, and ran into the house following the sound.

"Father! Look!"

She raised a sprig of plum blossom in her hand, her eyes sparkling, and very skillfully lunged towards Xuan Yuanjing.

Xuanyuan Jing, with a smile in his eyes, bent down and opened his arms before the little girl even entered the room. When she came close, he hugged her tightly, stood up, and spun her around.

The little girl giggled, her sweet smile melting his heart.

After regaining his footing, Xuanyuan Jing held the little girl in his arms with one hand and took the plum branch that had clearly just been cut from the tree from her hand with the other: "Is this for Father?"

The little girl nodded.

Speaking of this, the little girl was a bit aggrieved: "The greenhouse is no good. Warm Winter said there are plum blossoms in the backyard."

Because of what happened before, the little girl became wary of the other flowers in the greenhouse. In addition, after Chen Li arrived, he quickly sent people to temporarily seal off the greenhouse and the residences of the people in the greenhouse, so the little girl simply left.

They all said that Chen Li would not let those who bullied her father get away with it. Although the little girl regretted that she could not personally take action and give the old gardener a good beating, she still obediently left after being coaxed by Chen Li.

Although Chen Li's original intention was that he felt some of the things that were about to happen were not suitable for a young girl of that age to see.

Xiao Lanxing pointed to the seemingly ordinary plum blossom in Xuanyuan Jing's hand: "Plum blossom! Beautiful! Daddy! I'm so happy!"

"A mild winter would be great!"

The little girl didn't forget to praise the warm winter that led her to the plum blossoms, giving a thumbs up and saying, "Great job!"

If it weren't for the timely reminder in the mild winter, the Prince's mansion would still have a backyard. Some flowering trees were planted there years ago, and the mansion hasn't been significantly altered, so they should still be there. The little girl would have had to leave empty-handed today!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing glanced towards the doorway. Nuan Dong, who was beside the little girl, did not come in with her because she had not been given permission.

He smiled and, agreeing with the little girl, said, "Yes, she is indeed very good. Father will reward her in a little while."

Little Lanxing's eyes lit up, and she raised her little paw: "Me!"

Even stars, the rewards of stars!?
