At the Celestial Master's Mansion—

Mu Qingge wanted to speak several times to ask Xian Ji if the sky over the capital was clearly not a natural disaster, but man-made, and if so, who was responsible was perfectly clear.

Then why is it that even when the Tang family came knocking on their door, the adults still remain so indifferent?

This is something that adults should be concerned with.

However, a whole day has passed, and the adults remain unmoved.

Also, what did the adult talk to the little girl about? Why didn't he punish the little girl who was causing trouble, but instead let her do whatever she wanted?

She didn't think that adults were incapable of harming the little girl, so in her view, there was only one possibility: the adults were indulging the little girl.

Why?

How did a little girl, whom we don't even know, manage to bewitch the adults?

She wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.

Then the only option is to go to the Yu residence in person and ask that little girl for clarification.

Yufu.

Anmangu has returned, along with an uninvited guest, Chongzheng.

Of course, An Mangu didn't want to bring people back, but Chong Zheng followed behind, his purpose naturally being to take the Tang family with him.

The group entered the Yu residence in a grand manner. Su Mi'er didn't even have time to be happy about Anmangu's return before she hurriedly began preparing for the banquet.

When the emperor visits, he is certainly not an ordinary guest.

Although Chongzheng said that it should be simple and casual, more than twenty dishes were still prepared for the meal.

Anle had no intention of joining in the fun, but she was personally called out by Chongzheng, who claimed he wanted to see this little girl who could understand the will of Heaven. Since the emperor was so open and didn't hold back, she naturally couldn't keep quiet either.

Throughout the banquet, An Mangu kept a cold face and didn't say a word.

He naturally knew the purpose of the emperor's visit to his home.

But if I bring this up in front of him, will his little niece misunderstand and think it's his idea?

He really didn't want his little niece to misunderstand him.

An Mangu's face was cold and sullen. An Dalin noticed that something was wrong with his son, but he couldn't bring himself to ask in front of the emperor.

I could only sit awkwardly at the dinner table, and even the food I was chewing tasted bland.

Yan Qingxue nudged Anle, who was sitting next to her and eating heartily, and said with her eyes, "The emperor is sitting right in front of you, how can you still eat?"

What exactly do they mean by coming here? Anyone with eyes can see it, yet you're still pretending not to know. How can you be so thick-skinned?

Anle smiled and put a piece of food on Yan Qingxue's plate. Seeing that she hadn't eaten much rice, she urged her to hurry up.

"Hurry up and eat. The Tang family has really put you through a lot of trouble. You've been so worried, haven't you? You haven't eaten properly all day, have you? You can't afford to lose your appetite now."

Especially, we can't let people like the Tang family make us feel nauseous; that would be doing our stomachs a disservice.

Once Anle brought up the Tang family on her own initiative, the floodgates opened.

Chongzheng was just looking for an opportunity to speak, and now this opportunity had come knocking on his door. He seized the chance and wouldn't let it go.

"Ahem... Actually, the Tang family isn't some great villain. Of course, they are indeed a bit arrogant and domineering, but they are still a respectable family and have some dignity. For you, a little kid, to speak so freely like this, isn't it a bit disgraceful for the Tang family?"

"He's trying to kill my whole family, what do I care if he's honorable or not? What does it have to do with me? I'm not the one suffering, I'm not the one losing face. He brought this on himself, he can't blame anyone else, he deserves it. He brought this on himself, it's already a favor that the Tang family wasn't struck by lightning." An Le's words were extremely vicious, but his face was all smiles, looking completely harmless, as if he were talking about trivial matters like everyday life.

Throughout his speech, he seemed somewhat naive, speaking in a completely innocent and childlike manner.

Hearing this, Chongzheng felt much relieved. This child really is just a child; he speaks without thinking and is still just a child at heart.

Compared to those who are two-faced and treacherous, this kind of child is much easier to deal with.

Chongzheng thought he could control Anle, so he started playing the tricks of coaxing children.

"The Tang family is truly despicable, actually framing Commander Yu like this."

Anle glanced at Chongzheng with a grin and corrected him, "It's not a false accusation, it's a frame-up, a deliberate attempt to harm, a plot to commit treason, it's robbery and banditry."

Chongzheng: "..." This kid is incredibly quick-witted.

"Ahem... Eat." Seeing Anle contradicting the emperor like this, An Dalin put a green tea cake on Anle's plate, afraid that she would say something else that would offend the emperor.

The emperor himself is here! Lewa is still too young.

They don't understand the immense power of the emperor.

"This child is straightforward, I like her. I feel a connection with her, so I will recognize her as my goddaughter today."

The moment Chongzheng uttered those words, the entire dinner table froze, completely still.

What? ?

Adopted daughter?

More than one table of people were stunned. Anle himself was also taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Chongzheng with a strange expression.

She naturally knew a little about the situation in the capital, which she had heard from Yan Qingxue.

Everyone knew perfectly well why the emperor had come at this time.

So, in order to do the Tang family a favor, the emperor planned to give her a title?

The emperor's adopted daughter?

To be honest, she didn't feel like she had benefited from the situation.

If they really become father and daughter, it's hard to say who will benefit from whom.

Anle couldn't laugh at all. She stared at Chongzheng with a melancholy gaze and said, "Your Majesty, I am unworthy. I am just a commoner, without talent, virtue, skill, or ability. I am truly unworthy of this royal title."

"Ah... I can take it, I can take it. I like you very much, child. From now on, you are my royal princess. I hereby bestow upon you the title of Princess Yang Le."

The title "Yang" was reserved for only daughters of the imperial family born to the emperor. Being granted the title "Yang" was quite different from being a princess without rank, which shows how highly it was regarded.

Upon hearing this, An Mangu frowned. "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

“Commander Yu, what I say is the rule.” Chong Zheng glanced at An Mangu with a deep look in his eyes, signaling him to shut up.

The title of princess was forcefully imposed upon her, leaving her no room to refuse.

On the day Chongzheng left, an imperial edict was issued to the Yu residence, bestowing upon Anle the title of Princess Yangle, and proclaiming it to the capital.

An Mangu looked at An Le apologetically, opened his mouth, and said, "Le-wa, I failed in this matter. I should have refused back then."

Anle shook her head with a smile. "Uncle, don't take it to heart. It has nothing to do with you. Isn't this a good thing? Now that I have the title of princess, I can walk freely in the capital from now on."
