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

Ultimately, Xuanyuan Jing chose the third option between continuing to exchange information and resolving the issue of the unexpected daughter.

The main reason is that he himself is still in a weak state. Now that he has woken up, there is no need to rush things.

Chen Li was naturally aware of this as well. After the physician employed by the manor arrived and carefully examined the pulse, giving the same answer, Xuan Yuanjing lay back down.

Chen Li coaxed Xiao Lanxing out of the house. He thought it would be a bit tricky, but Xiao Lanxing was surprisingly cooperative.

As Chen Li hugged Xiao Lanxing, Xuan Yuanjing, who had lain down again, suddenly asked, "Does she live in the manor?"

"Yes."

After speaking, Chen Li paused and then told him where Xiao Lanxing was living now.

Xuanyuan Jing pondered for a while before realizing how far that courtyard was from here, and many doubts arose in his mind.

At this moment, the chaotic sounds around him quieted down, giving Xuan Yuanjing a moment of peace.

In the short time he exchanged a few words with Chen Li, he not only heard Chen Li's thoughts, but also the voices of other people around him. Even though Xuan Yuanjing tried to control his attention to focus only on Chen Li, his brain still received a lot of unnecessary information.

This is one of the reasons why he chose to take a break.

But now, suddenly unable to hear anything, Xuan Yuanjing was also very tired and didn't have the mind to think about anything else.

He managed to utter one last command: "Move it to my courtyard."

It's unclear what the situation is at the moment, but given Xuan Yuanjing's personality, he still feels more at ease keeping it under his watchful eye.

Chen Li quietly carried Xiao Lanxing out the door, only giving the guards a glance as they passed.

Afterwards, Chen Li walked a little further until he reached the entrance of the main courtyard. After confirming that speaking softly here would not disturb the prince, he lowered his head to ask the little person in his arms how he had come to the main courtyard.

Unfortunately, when he looked down, all he saw was a little girl sleeping soundly in his arms.

Chen Li: ...

Chen Li hesitated briefly between waking the person up to ask or waiting until they woke up before asking, and then chose the latter.

There's no other reason than that, although Chen Li has never been married or had children, it's not like he's never seen a child before.

What if we wake someone up at this time and they start crying and making a fuss?

Chen Li sighed silently, looked around, and then remembered that there were no maids in the main courtyard of the Prince Jing's mansion. After hesitating for a moment, he waved to the shadows.

A hidden guard, concealed in a corner of the main courtyard, appeared silently.

Chen Li handed the person in his arms over and said in a low voice, "Hold her for a while, I'll go arrange her accommodation."

As she spoke, remembering that the little girl was still young and might easily fall ill, she added, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Secret Guard: “…”

Bodyguard: ?

The guard didn't want to take it, but he had no choice. He could only stiffly and carefully carry it over, as if he were carrying a bomb.

Chen Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, he's not awake.

The next day, when Xiao Lanxing woke up from her sleep, before she even opened her eyes, she couldn't help but smack her lips.

It's less about waking up from sleep and more about waking up from hunger.

The system noticed the moment Xiao Lanxing woke up, and said in a somewhat subtle tone: "Host, you're awake?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Lanxing became more alert and slowly opened her eyes.

Without moving, his round eyes first scanned the surroundings, but he didn't notice anything amiss nearby.

Rather, since she had only found the Prince Jing's residence yesterday, she wouldn't have noticed that her room had been changed.

The system then asked: "Host, are you hungry?"

Upon hearing the system's question, Xiao Lanxing couldn't help but smack her lips again, as if that would allow her to taste the cake she had dreamed of.

But in reality, there was nothing there.

She pursed her pink lips slightly, looking a little unhappy, but didn't make a fuss. She turned over and sat up in bed. "I'm hungry."

The next second, a gentle female voice sounded by the bedside: "Are you hungry? We have prepared some food for you. Let me help you wash up first before you eat."

Xiao Lanxing looked up at the sound and saw a woman in a light yellow dress standing outside the bed. She blinked and asked, "Who are you?"

The maid smiled gently: "This servant is Wanchun. I am the maid that Chief Steward Chen assigned to take care of you last night."

Xiao Lanxing asked again, "Late spring? What about firefly yellow?"

Yinghuang was one of the first batch of maids Chen Li transferred to her side yesterday.

This was actually a very ordinary question, because the people Xiao Lanxing met yesterday were different from the people she met today, so she asked it.

But a hint of surprise flashed in Wan Chun's eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Miss, you have a good memory. Yinghuang and Pinglu were arranged to take care of you yesterday. They have their own things to do. From now on, Nuandong and I will take care of you together."

Her tone was light and cheerful, and she had a gentle, smiling expression, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing stared at her quietly for a while, then tilted her head and asked, "You hate me?"

The smile on Wan Chun's lips paused slightly.

Xiao Lanxing watched her quietly.

The young girl was quite young, and the clothes she was wearing were ones that Chen Li had temporarily found for her yesterday. They couldn't compare to the proper noble clothes of a young master of a royal mansion, but they weren't bad either, at least better than the plain clothes she wore when she first appeared yesterday.

Her skin looked so delicate, a soft, white ball, sitting on the light red brocade quilt, making one want to reach out and hug and rub it; she was incredibly cute.

She's pretty, doesn't cry or make a fuss, and seems like the kind of person everyone likes.

But when Wan Chun heard these words, her smiling face froze for a moment, and when she met those clear eyes again, she inexplicably felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

A moment seemed to pass, yet a long time also seemed to pass, before Wan Chun said somewhat stiffly, "What are you saying? How could this servant dare..."

Xiao Lanxing looked away, her sweet, childlike voice revealing little emotion: "I understand."

Late Spring: "..."

System: [She doesn't mean you any harm, she just doesn't like you.]

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing silently murmured "oh" to herself.

Xiao Lanxing: [Then I don't like her either.]

The baby has her own standards of judgment. Even Chen Li, who treats her well, is a stranger in Xiao Lanxing's mind right now.

Therefore, Wan Chun's likes and dislikes wouldn't cause Xiao Lanxing too much emotional fluctuation.

However, the room became inexplicably awkward afterwards.

Late Spring still wore a smile, but her eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if she was worried about something.

After being helped to wash up by Wan Chun and Nuan Dong, Xiao Lanxing ate some warm food to fill her little belly, and then wanted to run out to find Xuan Yuanjing.

As soon as the person ran to the door, they bumped into a tall figure, causing him to take two steps back.

Xiao Lanxing: "Ah, I'm sorry."

Figure: ...?
