A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

The voice was deep and wary, which startled Niannian. She cautiously peeked out, trying to see who was speaking.

To his surprise, he discovered that the reflection in the bronze mirror was not himself.

Instead, it was an ancient boy of six or seven years old, whose youthful face already hinted at future handsomeness.

His hair was as black as ink, casually tied back with a chopstick, hanging down naturally, with a healthy sheen shimmering between the strands.

A blue mole adorns the middle of his left eyebrow, adding a unique charm to his face.

His eyebrows were long and thin, clearly defined, like a landscape painting by a painter. The misty clouds of distant mountains were cleverly outlined between his eyebrows, complementing his eyes.

His eyes were clear and bright, with pupils as black as stars, revealing a subtle air of heroism beyond his years. He wore a black robe, its style simple yet elegant.

The robe's fabric looked soft and comfortable, with minimal decoration, except for a few auspicious cloud patterns embroidered in silver thread on the cuffs and hem, simple yet exquisite.

The robe's collar was designed with a crossover and right-fastening front, and a thin belt of the same color was tied around the waist, which, when gently fastened, outlined his small figure.

His expression was very serious, and a younger boy was sitting on the ground next to him, crying incessantly.

"Hey, this mirror can even play TV! But how do I turn it off?" Niannian blinked her curious big eyes and muttered to herself.

For a young girl, such a magical phenomenon was hard to understand, but she quickly came to this innocent conclusion.

This is a smart TV!

but……

How do I turn this off?

Her little hands kept groping on the table, but she couldn't find the switch.

………………

Guangling Imperial Palace —

In the quiet and secluded cold palace...

Seven-year-old Pei Yunjing glanced at the bronze mirror, feeling quite puzzled.

Could this cold palace really be haunted?

Today marks the 435th day since he was thrown into the Cold Palace by his father, Emperor Pei Chuan, as punishment. This was because Pei Yun Jing, in order to protect his mother, Consort De, unintentionally contradicted the Crown Prince.

Consort De was a concubine that Pei Chuan had no choice but to bring into the palace in order to secure his throne.

Therefore, Consort De was not favored, and despite her best efforts, she was unable to get Pei Yunjing out of the cold palace.

Ten days ago, Pei Chang'an, who was only three years old, was also thrown into the cold palace and punished along with him.

The old woman in charge, having received bribes from someone, had not brought any food for several days.

Pei Yunjing knew all too well that life and death within the palace were nothing more than a matter of the emperor's word!

He didn't blame anyone but himself for not being favored enough.

Pei Chang'an was only three years old. Although he was not his biological younger brother, he was born to Consort Wan. He did not want to watch Pei Chang'an starve to death.

He had just searched the entire Cold Palace but couldn't find anything of value except this phoenix bronze mirror.

Just as Pei Yunjing was about to move the bronze mirror, he discovered that there was someone in the mirror.

At this moment, Nian Nian said in her childish voice, "That's strange! This TV doesn't have an on/off switch!"

Pei Yunjing looked up, his dark eyes gleaming with curiosity:

Who are you? The Immortal in the Mirror?

"Me? Who?" Niannian pointed to herself, then shook her head vigorously. "I am no one, I am Jian Niannian!"

Wow, Mommy's baby is so amazing! You can even talk to her!

Oh! She knows, it's AI! Dad's company researches this!

“Jian Niannian…” Pei Yunjing repeated.

Niannian felt itchy from the ointment on her face, so she took the opportunity to scratch her cheek awkwardly.

Pei Yunjing noticed the bright red handprint on Niannian's face, never expecting that even the Fairy in the Mirror would be bullied.

At this moment, Pei Chang'an, who was behind him, had fainted because he had not eaten or drunk anything for three days.

"Chang'an... Chang'an! Wake up, don't sleep!" Pei Yunjing hugged Pei Chang'an and shook him hard, trying to wake him up.

"What's wrong with him?" Niannian asked with concern, leaning over the mirror.

Pei Yunjing said coldly, "I'm starving..."

!!!

starving!

died!

They will disappear just like their mother!

No, I can't die!

Niannian jumped off the stool, shouting, "Hurry up and charge your batteries, or you'll die!"

After saying that, she craned her neck to look around for a plug and socket. It must have been because it hadn't been charged for a long time!

???

Charge?

Pei Yunjing was very puzzled, "We haven't eaten for three days. If we don't eat soon, Chang'an will starve to death!"

He only knew that there was lightning in the sky, but he didn't understand what charging meant.

Upon hearing this, Nian Nian instantly understood: "Eat? Oh, so you AIs need to eat too! Wait a minute, I'll go get you some food right away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran to the door with her short legs, tiptoed to unlock the door with a "click," and then poked her little head out, her bright eyes looking around warily.

Ok……

Nobody's here, not even Grandpa!

Niannian's big eyes darted around, and she turned and ran towards the dining room. Taking advantage of the maid's inattention, she jumped onto the dining table with a "whoosh," picked up a large roast chicken, and ran back to her room.

"Click-clack-"

Her short legs moved as fast as a whirlwind...

With a "click," she tiptoed and locked the door again, then with a strong push of her little head, she lifted the roast chicken onto the counter.

"Eat it! You're welcome!"

Pei Yunjing looked up and saw the large roasted chicken in the mirror, a puzzled expression on his face. "How do we eat this? Are we supposed to eat the bronze mirror?"

Niannian explained in her childish voice, "Eat it with your mouth!"

Is this AI really that stupid? Do I even need to teach it how to eat?

Then it suddenly dawned on her that the AI ​​in the mirror couldn't reach the giant roast chicken at all. So, she gave it a hard push with her little hand, and to her surprise:

Half of the giant roasted chicken was actually submerged in the bronze mirror!

As if possessed, Nian Nian pushed it forward again, and the whole roasted chicken was placed perfectly into the bronze mirror. She didn't care about being surprised, because there was a starving little brother waiting to be eaten in the mirror!

"Now you can eat!" After saying that, she rested her chin on her hands, blinked her big eyes, and looked at the bronze mirror with great anticipation.

Pei Yunjing helped Pei Chang'an lean against the wall, then stood up and walked to the bronze mirror.

The aroma of chicken, mixed with the scents of chili and cumin, filled his nostrils. It smelled so good! He hadn't smelled anything like it in a long time.

Unexpectedly, the fairy in the mirror could even bestow food upon us.

He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said very politely, "Thank you, Immortal Nian Nian. Once I get out of this predicament, I will definitely repay you handsomely!"

Even though he was in the cold palace, as a prince, his movements remained fluid and elegant.

"Oh dear, oh dear, I'm not a fairy, no need to be so polite, eat up!" Niannian said with a smile while waving her hand.

Pei Yunjing no longer declined and picked up the roast chicken, walking towards Pei Chang'an.

At this moment, Pei Chang'an was awakened by the aroma of roasted chicken. Before he even opened his eyes, a chicken leg was stuffed into his mouth. The chicken meat, roasted at high temperature, had its juices locked inside.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, bursting with flavor. The crispy skin is fragrant and the tender chicken, with its savory juices, fills your mouth with wonderful taste.

wow!

He opened his eyes like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, grabbed the chicken leg tightly with both hands, and began to gnaw on it.

Pei Yunjing gently stroked his back: "Don't rush, Chang'an, eat slowly, there's plenty more! There's plenty more!"

Seeing him eat so heartily, Pei Yunjing couldn't help but swallow, his ink-black eyes fixed on the remaining roast chicken.

No, I have to wait until Chang'an is full before I can eat. After all, this is a delicacy that the immortal Nian Nian has bestowed upon me with great difficulty, so I should prioritize Chang'an's meal first.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Niannian asked curiously.

"I'm not hungry!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a rumbling sound came from Pei Yunjing's stomach.

Niannian blinked and said cutely, "Are you worried there won't be enough to eat? Wait for me!"

After saying that, she skipped off the stool, skillfully opened the door, and ran towards the kitchen.

Not long after, she slowly walked back carrying a bowl of fragrant braised beef noodles. She almost spilled the soup just now!

Niannian tiptoed and pushed the noodles and chopsticks onto the bronze mirror, and the braised beef noodles appeared on the bronze mirror table on Pei Yunjing's side.

The enticing aroma instantly filled his nostrils, making him gurgle and gulp.

Pei Yunjing finally couldn't resist anymore. He picked up the noodles and stuffed them into his mouth. The braised flavor was rich, the meat was tender and juicy, the large chunks of beef were cooked until soft and flavorful, and the noodles were also very chewy.

"Hehe, isn't it delicious? Eat slowly!" Niannian smiled sweetly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Dangdangdang..."

"Niannian, Grandpa misses you!" Grandpa Fu said softly. He had just seen Niannian's small figure running into the room with a bowl of noodles in her arms.

After a busy business trip, Grandpa Fu was most concerned about this little baby.

Damn!

Grandpa is coming to see her!

Niannian touched her face and found that the redness and swelling on her face had not subsided. What should she do? If her grandfather saw it, it would be bad if he kicked her aunt out.

In her sweet, childlike voice, she called out, "Grandpa, I'm asleep now, see you tomorrow!"

"Alright, alright, Niannian can still talk even when she's asleep! See you tomorrow!" Grandpa Fu said affectionately.

Thinking that he could only spoil his precious granddaughter, Old Master Fu turned and left.

Only after hearing her grandfather walk away did Niannian breathe a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face relaxed.

"Are you afraid your grandfather will worry?" Pei Yunjing said coldly. He had heard the conversation between the two of them and had a guess in his mind as he looked at Nian Nian's swollen face.

These words revealed the truth to Niannian, who nodded gently: "Yes, so I think I'll just have to bear with it and it will pass."

Pei Yunjing sneered, "Ha, how naive!"

Although he was only seven years old, he knew the rules of the palace by heart. How could he possibly endure being bullied? "Actually, to put it another way, it's a bit tiring."
