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

When Xiao Lanxing woke up from her sweet dream, she felt so comfortable that her whole body seemed to relax. Before opening her eyes, she stretched in the warm bed.

Then I heard a familiar voice from not far away: "Awake?"

It was Father's voice.

So, Xiao Lanxing, who was already in a good mood because she had slept well, opened her eyes and immediately flashed a bright smile, reaching out her hand towards the source of the sound: "Daddy!"

Great!

What a wonderful morning to see Daddy as soon as I wake up!

Completely forgetting the circumstances under which she fell asleep, Xiao Lanxing felt no sense of crisis whatsoever, happily waiting for her favorite father to give her a big hug.

The man, whose brows and eyes showed signs of fatigue, sat on the edge of the bed watching the little one's series of actions. When he met the big eyes full of trust and joy, the breath that had been stuck in his chest easily dissipated.

That's it.

His entire day was filled with anxiety, worrying that something had happened to the little girl. Fortunately, as the doctor had said, the little girl had simply fallen asleep.

This is already good.

The man reached out, wrapped the little girl in the blanket, and picked her up, gently rubbing her little nose: "You're so comfortable, falling asleep so suddenly gave Daddy a fright."

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head, reached out and touched Xuan Yuanjing's face, then touched around his eyes, "Why?"

She was just sleeping.

Although she had forgotten what happened before she went to sleep when she first woke up, Xiao Lanxing remembered it now. She had told her father about it before she went to sleep!

Why is Father still worried?

Xuanyuan Jing gently held her small hand and kissed it: "It's too sudden. Father will worry that you might be sick or poisoned."

There were some things that Xuanyuan Jing couldn't say because he couldn't reveal his mind-reading ability.

Little Lanxing patted her chest and said with great certainty, "Don't worry, Daddy, I won't get sick or poisoned!"

Xiao Lanxing was inexplicably confident about this.

She's the strongest!

How could the strongest person get sick!

As for the poisoning... Xiao Lanxing's intuition told her that unless she did it on purpose, no one could poison her!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing met the girl's earnest and determined gaze and couldn't tell whether Xiao Lanxing was just talking big because she was young and didn't understand much, or if it was true.

But all things considered, Xiao Lanxing has been by his side for so long, and it seems she has never been sick.

Xuanyuan Jing fell into deep thought and finally decided to take a conservative approach to the matter—regardless of whether it was true or false, the necessary considerations should still be taken into account, and the possibility should not be gambled on.

Because Xiao Lanxing is too young, Xuanyuan Jing doesn't want her to leave his side in any way.

Xuanyuan Jing rubbed her little head, not asking what the little girl was thinking about before she fell asleep, but gently asked, "Are you hungry? Daddy has someone prepare some of your favorite pastries for you. Eat some first to fill your stomach, and then eat some with Daddy."

Xiao Lanxing: "Daddy hasn't eaten yet?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "Without you, Father has no appetite."

Xiao Lanxing suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility and nodded, "Then let's eat quickly!"

——————————————————————————————

When Xiao Lanxing woke up, it was already evening. In order to prevent the child from not being able to sleep at night because she had slept during the day, the father and daughter went out together to digest their food after dinner.

Then, Xuanyuan Jing began to exhaust Xiao Lanxing's energy, and even dragged Pei Qingzhu, who had finally felt more at ease after settling down with his wife and daughter, to join in the exhaustion.

Finally, Pei Qingzhu, leaning on the railing and panting, said, "Your Highness, I think it's about time."

If they continued, the little princess wasn't sleepy anymore; he was so tired he could just lie down.

Xuanyuan Jing stroked his chin, looked at Xiao Lanxing who was squatting on the artificial hill, looking down at the group below, and asked, "Xingxing, are you sleepy?"

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head, and judging from her bright eyes, the little one was clearly still a ways off from wanting to sleep.

But after glancing at Pei Qingzhu, whose every breath produced plumes of white mist, and then at Xuan Yuanjing, who remained dignified and elegant but was also radiating heat, she obediently nodded: "Sleepy."

Pei Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, I can finally rest.

Who knows how he ended up coming over just to thank Xuan Yuanjing again, only to be dragged along to walk the baby.

Pei Qingzhu looked at Xuan Yuanjing expectantly.

Xuanyuan Jing did not let him leave immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before turning to Pei Qingzhu and saying, "You've had a hard night. I imagine your wife is still waiting for you to return. Qingzhu, you should go back and rest now."

Pei Qingzhu: "...Alright, I'll take my leave."

As Pei Qingzhu stepped out of the courtyard, she glanced at the sky, estimated the time in her mind, and let out a long sigh: "She can really hold on."

After two hours of intense activity, both he and the prince were drenched in sweat, but the little princess remained completely unfazed, without even breaking a sweat.

Oh, wrong, the little princess's cheeks are still rosy.

Pei Qingzhu felt that he had experienced firsthand what it was like to train an eagle, except that he was the one being trained.

On the other side, Xuan Yuanjing had already reached out and caught the little one who "flew" down, pinching her soft and bouncy cheeks, his eyes smiling: "Your Uncle Pei must be exhausted, I think he can get a good night's sleep tonight."

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head: "Daddy, did you do that on purpose?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "It wasn't intentional, I just did it on the side."

"But you, are you really sleepy?"

Xiao Lanxing nodded: "Actually, Daddy, you don't need to worry, I can fall asleep anytime!"

Xiao Lanxing is a lazy baby by nature!

Even if she sleeps all day, she can still sleep until the next morning if she's too lazy to move at night!

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

real or fake?

So he was worrying for nothing?

Thinking this, Xuanyuan Jing carried the child into the brightly lit room, looked down and found that the little guy's eyes were still bright and clear, and he didn't look like he would fall asleep anytime soon.

hesitate.

But before that, it's important to let Xiao Lanxing take a bath first, and Xuan Yuanjing himself also needs to take a bath.

The father and daughter each took a bath and soaked in the hot spring for a while. When Xuan Yuanjing saw the fragrant and soft little girl again, she was already drowsy and looked like she was about to fall asleep at any moment.

Xuanyuan Jing: "...That's fine, go to sleep."

Until he safely put the little girl back to bed, covered her with a blanket, and gently watched her drift off to sleep, Xuan Yuanjing never mentioned a word related to alcohol again.
