In fact, life went on as usual after he ascended the throne, except that his family moved from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to the Imperial Palace.

Lady Hou originally thought that since her daughter wouldn't be able to go to the palace this time, she could simply buy a courtyard outside the palace for Xiangxiang to live in.

Who knew that Hou Xiangxiang and Wang Dani would pack their things and move into the palace with Huo Xiaolong? The two girls' confidence was astonishing.

“My sisters, when one of them attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!” the little girl said, standing in front of the Lady of the Marquis.

"Then what are you?" Dani asked.

"I am a dog!"

"So I'm a chicken?"

Lady Hou was about to scold her daughter a few words: "The palace? Is that a place anyone can go with?"

Long'er, dressed in casual clothes and looking no different from a teenage girl on the street, skipped in.

"Aunt Hou, are you all packed yet? We're moving!"

"..."

Fine, what can we do? Move it!

The palace is different now than before. The three little princesses directly asked for the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. They said they wanted to stay in the courtyard where Huo Xiaolong had lived, so they could toughen up.

In the future, the three of them can act more like princesses.

Huo Xiaolong wasn't a stingy person; he consistently gave these people the same amount of rewards and monthly allowances as princesses.

After packing their things, everyone headed towards the palace.

Now, Cen Ang is the one who calls the shots in the palace.

It wasn't all for nothing that I learned these palace skills; my daughter will find them useful.

As soon as they entered the palace gates, a group of eunuchs and palace maids knelt before Huo Xiaolong and Cen Ang.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! The Palace Attendants and the maids pay their respects to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

Long'er seemed to adapt quite well, the girl said with a straight face:

"For matters concerning the inner palace, consult the two empress dowagers or the empress."

After saying that, she left, her little hand still giving Hou Xiangxiang and Dani'er a secret signal.

"What Empress Dowager?"

Cen Ang stood at the palace gate, not understanding.

The title of Empress Dowager is bestowed by the Emperor, and she is also in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. She can help her daughter manage household matters, but the title of Empress Dowager is a bit too much for her to bear...

"Aunt, no, Empress Dowager."

The aunt from the Imperial Kitchen looked at Cen Ang with sparkling eyes, her gaze full of admiration.

"Yesterday, His Majesty issued an imperial edict stating that you are now Empress Dowager Suyu, and His Majesty's birth mother is Empress Dowager Xianren."

This kid,

No wonder it ran so fast.

"I don't live in the former Empress Dowager's palace anymore, it's bad luck."

"Go and help me put my things in the side hall of the emperor's bedroom."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The palace was huge; the sleeping quarters were like a large courtyard.

He Yi and Huo Shuwen lived in a side hall of the palace, while Cen Ang naturally lived in a side hall.

"What are you afraid of, Long'er? It's just the Empress Dowager. Are you afraid that Mother Cen will beat you?"

Hou Xiangxiang followed the girl's footsteps and then asked.

"Why wouldn't I be afraid? If Tingche's mother hadn't died, she would have become the Empress Dowager. My mother adores her white moonlight. If she feels this arrangement isn't right, I'll get beaten up."

"I am now the emperor, and the emperor cannot be beaten."

Da Ni'er's mouth hasn't stopped since she entered the palace. She even brought the food box that the head of the Imperial Kitchen was carrying. The snacks in the palace are really delicious. The grassland king hadn't even swallowed the food in his mouth before he started talking.

"Your Majesty, give me two more plates of this, it's delicious."

"Also, I accidentally let slip yesterday that you were going to personally lead the expedition against Loulan. I think you're going to get a beating today."

Huo Xiaolong opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Wang Tianci! This is just an idea! And you've already blurted it out?"

"I let it slip, but I didn't mean to."

Hou Xiangxiang ignored what the two were chatting about and interrupted to ask:

"Did you sleep with Tingche last night? Is it better to sleep alone or with a man in your arms?"

"If sleeping with a man feels good, I'd get one too."

Huo Xiaolong sat on the dragon throne in the imperial study, looking at Da Ni'er who kept talking and Hou Xiangxiang who had a gossipy look on her face, and couldn't help but ponder.

What's the difference between now and before?

These two sisters are both not very bright, and becoming emperor will only make things more stressful for them.

Outside, you can hear the voices of the ladies from the brothel.

"Huo Kaixuan, don't you dare touch Xiongzai's fur! He's your aunt's darling!"

The move was busy, and no one had time to look after the children. Huo Kaixuan has just started crawling, and if we didn't keep an eye on him for a second, he would climb out of bed to grab the teddy bear.

The bear cub was too afraid to move, fearing it might pull its cub off the bed.

The little girl's attention was diverted, and she pushed open the window to look outside.

The warm sunlight shone through the plum blossoms, and a few petals fell on Huo Kaixuan's face as the wind blew by. Xiong Zai sneezed softly, blowing the petals away.

A few pink petals twirled in the air and landed on the ground.

"Siman! Why are you carrying firewood over there? That's for cooking!"

“I’ve set up the whole iron smelting workshop here.”

"Didn't you say you wanted to be a beautiful little princess? Good boy, my son, listen to me, little princesses don't do blacksmithing."

Siman got her new clothes for the New Year all black from her own mess. She went back and forth to the Shangshi Palace to fetch firewood. The little girl was pretty, especially her eyes, which she took after Mantuo. Although she didn't have her mother's seductive charm yet, she would still blink and stare at you.

Anyway, apart from her own mother, no one in the family could stand it anymore.

Right now, the little girl pouted twice, just like Huo Xiaolong when he was thinking of an excuse to do something bad.

"Then I'll quit being a princess and become a blacksmith!"

"It's okay, Siman. Your mother is lying to you. I asked my father, and he said that even princesses can forge iron."

Liu Buhui got beaten again, but while being beaten, she still ran over to comfort Siman.

Mando's face turned noticeably red; it's quite impressive that she could turn such a beautiful courtesan into such a flushed woman.

Master Miao flew over the tree with a feather duster, grabbed Liu Buhui, and disappeared with a light touch of his toes.

The little girl watched with delight from the window and casually accepted the pastries handed to her by Da Ni'er.

“Long’er, I think your palace is quite nice. It’s nothing like what my godmother said before, cold and desolate. Look, it’s so lively.”

The girl stood up, took a few steps, crossed her arms, and leaned against the window.

Xiongzai was coaxing the child, Siman was arguing with her mother, and every now and then Liu Buhui's wails could be heard.

Yes, that's wonderful.

"It has to be good. With you all here, everything is fine. So you all have to stay close to me, understand?"

"Absolutely, don't worry, I'll arrange everything clearly for you and Dani'er."

What Xiangxiang meant was, "I know you two are mentally ill and abnormal. As long as Sister Xiaohai is here, Long'er and Dani'er will never be like that."

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it Zhang Mama's loud voice.

"Dinner's ready! Let's eat!"
