Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Seeing that Ling'er was so loved by the Emperor and Empress, Lu Jin and Prime Minister Su couldn't help but stroke their beards and smile with satisfaction.

Some officials are already thinking about whether they have younger generations at home. In two years, the Crown Prince and Princess Showa will go to school and will definitely need study companions, so they can make some careful plans.

Ling'er sat on the emperor's lap, shaking her legs while eating the fruits or cakes fed by the queen, and enjoying the singing and dancing with a very contented look on her face.

She thought that it was better to sit up high for a better view.

The dancers in the audience danced enchantingly, and Lu Zhanxing was a little excited at first, but later he felt a little drowsy.

In the center of the stage, there was a veiled woman playing the piano, her eyes flickering towards the emperor on the dragon throne. If Lu Zhanyan was a lustful person, he would surely not be able to resist taking a look at her appearance.

Queen Chu couldn't help but glance at His Majesty out of the corner of her eye. She saw that he was concentrating on coaxing Ling'er to eat and didn't pay any attention to the actions of the woman in the center of the stage.

I couldn't help but find it funny. Your Majesty has promised that I will be with him/her forever, so why would he care about those vulgar women?

Queen Chu was relieved, and she raised her glass to congratulate him with a smile: "I wish your majesty a happy new year, and may you have this day every year!"

"The Queen is the same." Lu Zhanyan raised his glass and drank together.

The Queen had already given her toast, and other ministers also began to raise their glasses to celebrate.

Seeing that everyone was toasting, Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "Ling'er wishes the Emperor's uncle and aunt good health, happiness every day, beauty like a flower, and eighteen years old every year!"

The hall suddenly became quiet!

Then Lu Zhanyan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Ling'er, who taught you to say that?"

Ling'er said in a baby voice: "Is Ling'er wrong? Father often says this to grandmother."

Mrs. Luo pursed her lips and smiled. Her son loved to make her happy. He often said these words.

Queen Chu smiled and said, "No wonder Second Imperial Aunt looks so young, it turns out that my Imperial Brother sends her blessings every day!"

Mrs. Luo also found it funny: "Xing'er has always been filial. Every time she sees me worried, she will say these things to cheer me up."

Feeling the envious looks of the ladies, Luo straightened her back and felt that she had become several years younger.

So everyone raised their eyes to look at Prince Yi, only to see him dozing with his head supported by his hands, his long and thick eyelashes trembling slightly. No matter how many times they looked at it, his androgynous face was still stunning.

In the past, perhaps it was because Lu Zhanxing was too romantic and his reputation of frequenting brothels was more famous than her appearance, so even if she was handsome, some girls from aristocratic families would not choose such a nobleman. But now that her status and position are different, people notice her appearance at first sight.

Su Xianye was staring at her husband's sleeping face. When she noticed that everyone was looking at her, her pretty face turned red and she gently pushed Lu Zhanxing: "Your Highness..."

Lu Zhanxing woke up slightly, thinking that the banquet was over. He rubbed his eyes in a trance and stood up: "Is it over? Let's go!"

Everyone: "..."

Lu Zhanyan asked with concern: "Didn't you get enough rest, brother?"

When Lu Zhanxing came back to his senses, he realized that the banquet was not over yet. He thought that everyone must have discovered that he had fallen asleep, so Su Xianye woke him up. He could only laugh and said, "My brother, I am a little drunk. I need to take a rest for a while."

"I'm glad you're okay. If you're tired, go to the side hall and rest." Lu Zhanyan was very considerate.

"Okay, then I'll go first." After saying that, he really left.

Leaving everyone confused: "..."

Lu Jin stood up helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have spoiled this child. I will teach her a lesson when I return."

"Uncle, you don't have to be like this. My brother is also a person of true character. You don't have to blame her too much."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty!"

At this moment, everyone intuitively felt how favored Prince Yi was. If someone else left the banquet like this, he would definitely be punished for disrespecting the emperor.

Lu Zhanyan looked at Ling'er in his arms and said, "Ling'er, what you said is very good. Tell your uncle the emperor. I will give you whatever you like."

Ling'er's eyes lit up: "Really? How about giving this jade ring to Ling'er, so that when Ling'er sees it, she will remember the emperor's uncle."

Her father once told her that if the royal uncle and aunt asked her what reward she wanted, she should take it from them. After all, they were brought up by the emperor and empress, and would be valuable in the future.

Lu Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and took off the white jade ring on his thumb and handed it to her: "Then you must always think of your uncle!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Emperor. As soon as Ling'er sees this jade ring, she will think of you and come to the palace to see you."

Ling'er knows how to make people happy at a young age. As soon as the banquet is over, she will quickly take the jade ring into the shared space and then collect dust there.

"Aunt, the bracelet on your hand is so beautiful. Can you give it to Ling'er? When you give birth to a little sister, Ling'er will give her lots of beautiful jewelry."

This little girl is so sweet, she's telling me she's pregnant with her second child. Queen Chu glanced at His Majesty shyly, then smiled and handed a pair of jade bracelets to the little girl. She was afraid that she would lose them, so she asked her to remember to give them to her father and mother for safekeeping.

After getting her gift, Xiao Ling'er first thanked in a baby voice, then struggled to get down, and went to find her father regardless of anyone trying to stop her.

The father and daughter have exactly the same personalities.

Xiao Ling'er went to the side hall and found that her father was not there. He might have slipped away long ago.

Finding that the prince was asleep, he climbed onto the bed and slept beside him, but his consciousness entered the space.

But I don't know that danger is approaching...

At this time, Lu Zhanxing was strolling in the Imperial Garden. She felt her daughter's call in the space, so she looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she slipped into the space.

"Father, look!"

Xiao Ling'er happily showed off the treasure she had obtained.

This girl...

Lu Zhanxing was speechless. He was so greedy for money at such a young age.

Others can't speak well at the age of one and a half, but this girl is very articulate. Could she be a child prodigy?

She knew that there were many child prodigies in ancient times, some who could read at the age of three and some who could compose poetry at the age of five. Could it be that she had also given birth to a child prodigy?

Ling'er felt that her father had more treasures in the space than she did, but she could only look but not take anything out. So she decided that her things must surpass her father's, so she tried her best to get other people's treasures.

Lu Jin, Luo Shi, and Prime Minister Su were the four people who were cheated the most, especially this girl who was so sweet-talking that others were willing to give things to her.

Once, Lu Zhanxing was very curious: "Why don't you ever ask your aunts and uncles for anything?"

Ling'er said, "The aunts want to leave the treasure to their own little ones. Ling'er is sensible and cannot accept it."

In fact, she hasn't started to deceive yet.

Lu Zhanxing was just about to be moved by the child's principles, and then he saw the eldest sister appear with a moved look on her face. She kissed Ling'er and gave all the good things to Ling'er when she returned.

After that, the second and third sisters also knew what Ling'er said, and they went even further and gave Ling'er good things.

Lu Zhanxing finally understood. What a sensible person. Ling'er probably said that on purpose because she saw Lu Xihua appear.

Didn’t you see that the three sisters and brother-in-law were willing to give things to Ling’er?

She is obviously less than two years old, speaks fluently, has strong logical thinking, and others might still be helping her count money when they are sold.

This IQ must have been inherited from that person.

Thinking of Mu Qingli, Lu Zhanxing felt a little lost. The Wu family had been disintegrated, and he wondered where he had gone.

Is it still as written in the book, disappearing without a trace?
