The original host, a hidden heir to a family, was sent to grow up on an estate after family struggles. She was cheerful and easygoing. Before the female lead arrived, she met the future co-ruler of...
**Section 3: Cradle of Sleep and Moonlight Ordinance**
Just when Qibao was about to blurt out the devastating collective blessing!
Buzz!
An extremely gentle wave, yet carrying an irresistible soothing force, like the gentlest drizzle on a spring night, instantly enveloped the entire banquet hall! The wave came from two directions:
1. **Chenbao's Abacus Barrier:** Dabao Su Chen, who had been monitoring the entire situation, reacted the moment the system alarm sounded! The abacus in his arms erupted with an unprecedented soft golden light. Rather than confronting Qibao, it was like the strongest yet most gentle net, instantly enveloping her, isolating her from the external energy and forcibly delaying the impending torrent of blessings!
2. **Zero Treasure's Eternal Lullaby:** Almost immediately after Chen Bao's attack, Ling Bao, Su Ling, awakened by the commotion in her cradle, seemed slightly disturbed by the overly bright light of her sister, Qi Bao. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she unconsciously extended her little finger, gently tapping Qi Bao's direction. A stream of purest platinum light silently shot out, immersing itself in Chen Bao's golden barrier. Like a brilliant baton, the light pattern instantly transformed and woven Chen Bao's resilient energy web into a force field composed of countless tiny light symbols, emanating a lullaby-like atmosphere of eternal tranquility!
Enveloped in this dual power, Qibao felt an irresistible warmth and drowsiness wash over her, a feeling of returning to her mother's womb. Her high spirits receded like a tide, and the dazzling light of her strawberry birthmark visibly dimmed and softened. Her outstretched arms drooped softly, her head nodding, long eyelashes draped over her face, and she mumbled a half-finished blessing: "...Happy...Huh..." She fell into a deep sleep while standing!
The holy light energy slowly subsided like a appeased giant beast and retreated deep into the birthmark.
The entire banquet hall instantly fell from extreme noise and chaos to a silence so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with a sweet lingering sound.
The guests maintained various stiff postures, looking at the little birthday boy who was standing in the center of the venue, sleeping peacefully in the soft golden and platinum light, and then looking at the "traces of blessings" left on each other (the faint strawberry scent on the messenger's hair, the remaining sugar threads on the saint's hair, the scattered abacus beads of the minister, and the ox-horn embroidery on the clerk's boots). They felt a lingering fear, but inexplicably felt a sense of... warmth after surviving a disaster?
Ah Luo quickly stepped forward and gently picked up the sleeping Qibao. Su Li also hurried forward to check on him.
Like a final summary and standard, the Poison Tongue System's announcement clearly appeared on the giant rainbow birthday cake in the center of the banquet hall, on the surface of each creamy strawberry, and even on the rims of the guests' wine glasses:
**[General's Mansion Blessing Energy Receiving and Release Safety Management Regulations Version 1.0]**
**First: The strawberry holy light of His Highness Qibao (Su Qi) contains the potential for "Spiritual Manifestation of Words," and can easily lose control when emotionally unstable. The area within a ten-foot radius is a high-risk blessing zone.**
**Article 2: The text of the blessing to His Highness Qibao must be submitted to His Highness Chenbao (Su Chen) three days in advance for record. All metaphors, exaggerations, and figurative rhetoric are prohibited! It is recommended to use monosyllabic safe words such as "good", "peace", and "hmm".**
**Article 3: When His Highness Qibao is emotionally agitated (as indicated by the brightness of his strawberry birthmark exceeding 300% of its normal value), His Highness Chenbao will activate the "Abacus Sleep Barrier" and His Highness Lingbao (Su Ling) will provide assistance with the "Eternal Number Lullaby" to force him into a calm (sleep) state.**
**Article 4: If the blessing materialization is accidentally triggered, you can urgently seek help from His Highness Heng Bao (Su Heng)'s 'Pacifier Blessing Vacuum Cleaner' for energy recovery (the recovered energy will be harmlessly neutralized by His Highness Yu Bao (Su Yu)'s Rainbow Candy).**
**Article 5: This regulation takes effect immediately, and the final right of interpretation belongs to this system and Qibao's Sleeping Face.**
**[Attachment: Risk Assessment Report on the Birthday Blessing Energy Event (generated by Chenbao Abacus, including 4 remaining issues such as 'Permanent Embroidery of Ox Hoof Boots')]**
The guests looked at the clauses flashing on the strawberries on the cake, especially the one prohibiting metaphorical and exaggerated "safeword" blessings, and then touched the remaining "blessing souvenirs" on their bodies, with complicated expressions. This was probably the most unique and memorable birthday party.
As the night deepened, the guests departed with mixed feelings and a sweet aura (the lingering traces of Holy Light). Peace finally returned to the General's Mansion.
Qibao was placed on a small bed covered with soft flower petals, sleeping soundly with a satisfied smile on his face, as if he was still savoring those "interesting" blessings in his dream. The strawberry birthmark on his forehead emitted an extremely faint, steady, soft light.
Su Li sat by the bed, gently stroking her daughter's sleeping face, and sighed helplessly and lovingly: "This ability... is such a sweet burden."
Xiao Jue stood by the window, looking at the cold moonlight in the courtyard, the Guihong ruler humming at his waist, his voice steady, "Blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. Qiqi's heart is pure, and her strength is also pure. She doesn't want to be out of control. Guiding and protecting are the right way." He looked at Lingbao who was also sleeping in the cradle, and then looked outside. The second baby, Su Heng, was showing off to the third baby, Su Yu, his pacifier, which looked even more golden after absorbing the blessed energy. The eldest baby, Su Chen, was holding an abacus, carefully reviewing tonight's energy data in the moonlight. His little face looked particularly calm in the moonlight.
Moonlight flowed like water across the silent courtyard and across the peaceful sleeping faces of the children in the room. All the chaos and absurdity, at this moment, settled into a deep tranquility.
Strawberry's holy light's rampage was like a brilliant yet fleeting display of fireworks. When the fireworks faded, what remained was a yearning for pure beauty, a sense of responsibility to protect, and the warm light of home, forever burning for the children in this vast courtyard. And the rules of the Poison Tongue System, like boundary markers under the moonlight, silently protected this sweetness and peace.
