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

Just because Xuanyuan Jing didn't mention it doesn't mean Xiao Lanxing forgot.

After all, it was a memory that had been forcibly awakened by her brain, and she wouldn't forget it once she thought of it. However, when she was with Xuan Yuanjing, she would subconsciously put other things aside.

When Xuanyuan Jing wasn't around, Xiao Lanxing's little brain started working.

"So, I need to get the glass out first!" Xiao Lanxing clenched her fist and said excitedly to the system.

System: [...To be more precise, it's about making colorless, transparent glass.]

System: [If it's just glass, the technology for that already exists in this day and age.]

Xiao Lanxing was even happier: "Then as long as we find someone who knows how to do this, we can get started!"

System: [That's right.]

Xiao Lanxing excitedly decided to start a new creation. After unlocking her memories related to glass, she naturally learned about the existence of glass windows.

She not only wanted to make better wine for her father, but also better windows for him!

However, before the little guy could even start working, more people from the palace arrived.

This time, Xuanyuan Lin sent someone to invite Xiao Lanxing to the palace to appear at the palace banquet as Xuanyuan Jing's only daughter, and to settle her identity in the process.

The reason is also very simple.

Wang Tai: "Your Majesty knows that you want Miss to be on the Jade Tablet. Your love for your daughter is understood by Your Majesty. Moreover, Miss is your only child now, so she should be valued."

"However, the fact that the young lady is the biological mother is still a hidden danger. It's a pity that during the two years you were in a coma, that person wasn't fortunate enough to live to see you wake up, which has tainted the young lady's identity..."

In short, it all boils down to one thing.

Didn't Xuanyuan Jing want Xiaolanxing to be included in the Xuanyuan family's genealogy, registered on the jade tablet, and become a proper princess of the royal palace?

The birth mother was beyond help; she was gone. It was all a twist of fate. Even if Xuan Yuanjing wanted to, Xuan Yuanlin, for the sake of the Xuan Yuan family's reputation, would certainly not allow him to hold a wedding ceremony with a dead person.

At best, she could be recorded as Xuanyuan Jing's concubine.

However, there is still room to maneuver regarding Xiao Lanxing's identity as a living person. The New Year's Eve palace banquet is an important occasion, so let Xiao Lanxing make an appearance in front of the imperial family and officials to define her identity and go through the motions in front of everyone.

Since it was at Xuanyuan Lin's behest, this palace banquet was also a way to let those members of the imperial clan who might hinder Xuanyuan Jing's actions understand that this matter was tacitly approved or even supported by Xuanyuan Jing.

If we disregard Xuan Yuanlin's personal malice towards Xuan Yuanjing, this action seems to be purely well-intentioned.

After Xuan Yuanjing refused to enter the palace last time on the grounds of illness, it would be difficult for him to refuse Xuan Yuanlin's kind offer this time, as is customary.

Even if they are brothers, even if they have a "good relationship", one is still the ruler and the other is the subject. How can you refuse him every time?

Just as Wang Tai had anticipated, Xuan Yuanjing did not refuse this time.

He pondered for a long while before nodding slightly, "I understand your good intentions, Your Majesty."

"In that case, I will trouble Eunuch Wang to take my daughter to the palace in a moment."

"However, my daughter is young and naive. If she does anything wrong, I would like to trouble you, Eunuch Wang, to tell my brother that you should not hold it against Lanxing and that you should come to me for all matters."

Having achieved his goal, Wang Tai's smile became more genuine, and he bowed with extreme humility: "Rest assured, this servant will convey your words to His Majesty."

"His Majesty has always been considerate and caring towards you, and always puts you first. He will certainly take good care of the young lady and not let her be bullied in the palace."

Xuanyuan Jing smiled and said, "That would be best."

Then, Xuanyuan Jing used the excuse of "coaxing the child" to let Wang Tai go to the side room to rest first, and then got up to find Xiao Lanxing.

Xuanyuan Jing had anticipated what would happen today.

As long as he keeps the child by his side, regardless of whether he genuinely loves her in private or uses her as a target, the person in the palace will definitely find a way to see the child.

The reason is also very simple.

Because the idea of ​​"raising children by one's side" is something that would seem illogical to those who know Xuan Yuanjing.

Whether Xuan Yuanlin's intentions towards him are malicious or benevolent, he will care about the things around him, so naturally he will also care about the "special" people who appear around him.

Therefore, when Su Mingxuan sent someone to bring Xiao Lanxing into the palace last time, Xuan Yuanjing refused.

But this time, when Xuanyuan Lin sent someone to pick him up, Xuanyuan Jing still agreed.

It wasn't that the different people they hired led to different results, but rather that last time, Xuanyuan Jing wasn't prepared and couldn't guarantee that such a young girl wouldn't disappear quietly in the palace.

And this time...

Xuanyuan Jing can guarantee her safety.

As long as the fact that Prince Jing's daughter attended the banquet at the palace becomes known to everyone in the capital, that's enough.

——————————————————————————————

"Am I going to the banquet in place of Father?" Little Lanxing asked, sitting in a chair and looking at the man squatting in front of her, swinging her little feet.

Xuanyuan Jing nodded gently: "Yes, you don't need to do anything, just go once. Father will send someone to pick you up after the palace banquet."

Xiao Lanxing asked curiously, "Is it that bad guy who wants to invite me over?"

Xuanyuan Jing naturally equated "bad guy" with Xuanyuan Lin, and calmly nodded: "You can say 'bad guy' in front of Father. In front of others, you should call him Imperial Uncle, understand?"

Xuanyuan Jing wasn't worried at all that the little girl would make a slip of the tongue.

Xiao Lanxing nodded obediently.

Xuanyuan Jing: "Nuandong will come to the palace with you. No matter what happens, don't let Nuandong leave your side."

Xuanyuan Jing: "If someone tries to do something to you, whether it's feeding you unclean food or bullying you, you can fight back directly."

"No matter what happens, you are my daughter, Xuanyuan Jing's daughter. As long as you have that title, they won't dare to really do anything to you."

"If anything seems amiss, don't hide it. Make a big fuss about it as much as possible, the more people know, the better, understand?"

Xiao Lanxing's eyes widened: "Am I going to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "Havoc in Heaven?"

Xiao Lanxing raised her hand and waved it around: "That's right, that's right, if anyone bullies me, I'll fight back, right! Then I'll let everyone know that they are bad people, that they bullied the little baby!"

Xuanyuan Jing: "...Yes, that's right!"

Xuanyuan Jing: "Go and have fun without worry. I've arranged for people to take you back to my side if necessary."

His worst-case scenario was to completely break ties with Xuan Yuanlin.

Anyway, Xuanyuan Jing wasn't afraid of this; it was Xuanyuan Lin who was more afraid of breaking ties with him.

Given this premise, and considering the abilities Xiao Lanxing has demonstrated recently, the risk of her entering the palace this time can be considered quite low.

System: Good luck, Amen.
