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

On one hand, her own common sense and experience were questioning her, and on the other hand, Xuan Yuanjing's words left Pei Qingzhu speechless, unable to do anything except for her pupils trembling.

Pei Qingzhu: "This, how come..."

"How could that be, right?" A clear, gentle voice rang out behind the two of them.

Pei Qingzhu subconsciously turned around and saw Chen Li appear there wearing a blue cloak. At the same time as he looked over, Chen Li was smiling and bowing to Xuan Yuanjing, who had his back to him.

"Your subordinate Chen Li greets Your Highness. May Your Highness be well."

"Hmm." Xuan Yuanjing didn't turn around, his eyes fixed on the little girl who was treading on the wall as if it were flat ground. "You got up early."

Chen Li naturally noticed his actions and chuckled inwardly, "The prince says he's relieved, but isn't he still worried about the young lady's safety?"

If Xuanyuan Jing could hear his thoughts at this moment, he probably wouldn't deny it.

Whether someone truly cares about another person has no direct relation to whether that person is powerful or not.

Not to mention, no matter how amazing Xiao Lanxing is, she is still just a little baby.

Xuanyuan Jing knew what it felt like to be restrained, and he also understood that children preferred to play freely, so he would not treat Xiao Lanxing like an ordinary child and confine her to a generally safe territory.

However, life is always full of unexpected events. Xuan Yuanjing was willing to let the little girl do what she wanted, but he couldn't completely let her go and always had to keep an eye on her.

Even so, there are many people hidden both openly and secretly at this moment, ready to come to the rescue if an accident occurs.

Chen Li: "Yes, I went to bed early yesterday and woke up early this morning."

After getting up, I took care of some things and found out about Pei Qingzhu's whereabouts. Then, looking at the sky, I forced myself to sleep for a while longer before finally getting up at this time.

At this time, the sky was not yet fully bright, and the lights on the eaves and paths were still lit, making the little girl's figure appear as nimble as a light cat.

But it wasn't too late at this time. Officials who lived further away from the palace had probably already gotten up, changed clothes, washed up, and gone out to court.

Xuanyuan Jing: "I have appointed Qingzhu as the commander of the guards. You can discuss this among yourselves later."

Chen Li: "Yes."

Pei Qingzhu: "Yes."

"Daddy!"

A clear, childlike voice drifted over from afar, and Xuan Yuanjing's smile deepened. After taking a few steps, he saw the little girl wave her hand, indicating that he didn't need to come over.

"Look at me!" Little Lanxing had already walked along the wall to a rooftop, waved her little hand, and her eyes, reflecting the light of the lanterns under the eaves, were bright and clear: "Look at me!"

Xuanyuan Jing smiled and said, "Father is watching you."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Jing lowered his voice and said, "Qingzhu."

Clearly, since the little girl had noticed the commotion, she couldn't have been unaware that Xuan Yuanjing was watching her. This was actually a way of reminding Pei Qingzhu.

Pei Qingzhu's thoughts returned to Xiao Lanxing, and the next moment her gaze turned to that side, she saw the little girl very boldly jump directly from the wall to the roof.

In that instant, his body moved faster than his brain, rushing towards the little girl first.

Xuanyuan Jing did not stop him, but the smile on his face faded a bit, and he leaned forward slightly.

"Your Majesty..."

Xuanyuan Jing seemed not to hear Chen Li's call, his eyes fixed on that direction until the little girl landed lightly on the roof.

During this process, he seemed to hear no sound until the moment she landed, when her breathing became smooth again and the sound of the wind resumed.

At the same time, even from a distance, he could clearly hear the soft rustling sound of Xiao Lanxing's little feet stepping on the still-uncleared snow.

A smile returned to his face. He walked a few steps to the rooftop where the little girl was, looked up at her with a gentle smile, and said, "The stars are amazing!"

Xiao Lanxing puffed out her little chest with a smug look and smiled brightly. Even though she was no longer in the light, she seemed to be glowing.

"Hehe, I'm super strong!"

Pei Qingzhu rushed over and jumped onto the wall, but she was still a step too slow. She watched helplessly as the little girl leaped gracefully.

It's important to know that the wall and roof where the little girl was just standing were not directly connected; there was a road and a small flower bed in between, and the distance between them was not short.

This distance is so great that even an adult, let alone a young girl, would have to be skilled in martial arts to cross it.

But Xiao Lanxing just jumped over it so lightly.

I skipped it.

past.

The.

Pei Qingzhu was still dazed: "Am I not fully awake yet?"

Chen Li slowly walked behind Xuan Yuanjing and looked at Pei Qingzhu standing on the wall, looking silly. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, when Xuan Yuanjing turned around, Chen Li raised his sleeve to cover his lips and coughed lightly, "This subordinate has lost his composure."

Xuanyuan Jing glanced at him, then turned back to the little girl and opened his arms wide: "Alright, Xingxing, your Uncle Pei already knows how amazing you are."

"It's slippery on snowy days, let's just let the stars come down, aren't we going to do our morning exercise with Daddy?"

Xiao Lanxing: "Huh? But we haven't reached the highest point yet..."

Xuan Yuanjing's expression was gentle: "It's alright, let's stop here for today."

If the girl were to rise any higher, Xuan Yuanjing felt that Pei Qingzhu might really go crazy.

As for Chen Li...

Xuanyuan Jing gave Chen Li face.

Chen Li is now laughing at Pei Qingzhu, but he was also quite surprised and stunned by the little girl's unexpected actions before, although only Xuan Yuanjing and the guards saw it at that time.

It's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Xiao Lanxing naturally listened to Xuan Yuanjing. She glanced at Pei Qingzhu standing on the wall next to her, smiled at him, and then ran down the roof with a clatter, before leaping over it.

She was like a fledgling bird spreading its wings, flying trustingly towards the person she trusted most.

Below, Xuan Yuanjing's eyes reflected the small figure flying towards him, and he seemed to clearly hear his own heartbeat—

bang bang.

bang bang.

what.

So cute.

They're so adorable.

A little life, without any doubt or trust, fell into his arms like a star falling from the sky.

The moment he embraced her, Xuan Yuanjing had the illusion that he was embracing the whole world.

Even knowing that Xiao Lanxing could land easily without needing anyone to pick her up.

even so.

Xuanyuan Jing hugged the little bird in his arms tightly, and in a daze, he recalled something from his childhood.

Did his mother feel the same way he does now when she saw him running towards her at the palace gate?

That feeling... it's like seeing happiness flying towards me.
