Chapter 97 Look at this cake. Isn’t it big and round?

"Xiaojiu!" Lu Yanshi called out to Lu Li in a hurry, trying to interrupt her from using the gossip system to find out about this matter.

"My father's waist is uncomfortable. Blow on it and it will stop hurting."

"Ah?" Lu Li was dumbfounded.

Xia Shuyi was originally worried that the emperor would blame Lu Heng, but when she heard Lu Li's inner voice, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

My daughter is still young, and we can’t let her see such things.

So she held back her laughter and diverted Lu Li's attention to Lu Yanshi.

"Yes, if you blow on it for father, he will feel less uncomfortable." She walked to Lu Yanshi's side while holding Lu Li.

Hearing her mother say so, Lu Li no longer had any doubts.

"Okay, blow." She took a deep breath, puffed up her cheeks, and then blew out hard.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Lu Li played the flute very seriously.

[Father, you still have the nerve to call my third brother childish. ]

[I think he is childish. He thinks that the pain will go away if he blows on it. He is just fooling a child.]

Lu Li's cheeks were sore from blowing so much, and she couldn't help but complain about her father in her heart.

Lu Yanshi felt hopeless after hearing this. He felt that his image in his daughter's heart was becoming increasingly unbearable.

But at least he succeeded in diverting his daughter's attention, and she no longer cared about whose card he turned over.

He glanced at Xia Shuyi and Lu Heng, and seeing that they were worried about him, he felt relieved.

Fortunately, he was the only one who could hear Xiaojiu's thoughts, so this matter was not particularly embarrassing.

The imperial physician arrived soon and examined him. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. As long as he did not do any major surgery and took good care of himself, he would recover soon.

With the imperial physician's help, Lu Yanshi felt much more at ease.

He didn't want to attend his daughter's first birthday party in this image.

…

Qi Xingyue returned to the house that Lu Yanshi had arranged for them.

Seeing her, Qi Xingran asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Queen suddenly drove me away, and I don't know what happened." Qi Xingyue was confused.

"Did you say something wrong and make her angry?" Qi Xingran immediately blamed his sister.

"Didn't I tell you that you must be cautious and please the Queen and the Ninth Princess?"

Qi Xingyue felt very aggrieved.

When she was in Beiyong, she was a princess who was pampered by others. She had never suffered such humiliation before, being driven away just like that.

"I didn't say anything wrong. I praised them both to bits."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Qi Xingran put away his coldness.

He said patiently: "Xingyue, only you can help me. Whether we can recapture Beiyong and whether we can survive, you are the most crucial link."

"I understand, Prince. I will go tomorrow." Qi Xingyue agreed with sobs.

"If we succeed, when we return to Beiyong, I will make you the eldest princess." Qi Xingran described a beautiful future to her.

Qi Xingyue felt much better when she thought about how she would be second to none in the world.

"Well, I will try my best." Qi Xingyue nodded heavily.

If Qu Fufeng was present, he would definitely tell Qi Xingyue.

Look at this cake. Isn’t it big and round?

…

The next day, Qi Xingyue dressed up carefully and went to Weiyang Palace again.

Xia Shuyi had already learned about his plan from Lu Yanshi. He first gave Qi Xingyue a little sweetness to make her think that she had succeeded and was very familiar with Xiaojiu. Then he would capture her personally and abduct her at the first birthday banquet.

So this time, Xia Shuyi was quite enthusiastic towards her.

But her eyes never left Qi Xingyue, for she was afraid that she might change her mind and poison her daughter in advance.

Fortunately, Qi Xingyue did not take any action, but just talked to her politely for an hour.

Xia Shuyi took the opportunity to extract a lot of secrets about the Beiyong harem from her. This information might be useful to the emperor when he conquers Beiyong in the future.

As Lu Li's birthday banquet approached, envoys from various countries gradually arrived.

The first to arrive were people from Dongling Kingdom.

[Wow, the person who came is actually Helian Qian's grandmother. ]

When Lu Li heard that someone from Dongli Country was coming to visit, he immediately used the melon-eating system to investigate.

Lu Yanshi was shocked to hear this. He did not expect that the eldest princess Helian Sari, who was the pillar of Dongli, would come in person.

"I've met Emperor Xia." Helian Sarri came in and nodded to Lu Yanshi.

"Can I see the child?"

As soon as she arrived, she got straight to the point.

"Of course no problem." Lu Yanshi nodded and asked someone to invite Helian Qian over.

Helian Sazhi held the teacup in his hand, feeling uneasy.

From the moment she received the invitation from Emperor Xia, she couldn't contain her excitement.

Over the years, she had received countless messages that appeared to be from her daughter, but each time she was disappointed.

This time, Xia Huanglu Yanshi said that he found her grandson.

He said nothing about her daughter.

Heliansa hesitated for several days, and finally decided to come to Daxia in person.

The emperor's brother tried to stop her several times, but she still insisted on doing it.

She is already fifty years old and doesn't know how many years she can live. If she can see her own blood one more time before she dies, she will die without regrets.

Soon, Helian Qian was brought to the main hall.

"Helian Qian pays his respects to the emperor." He saluted Lu Yanshi respectfully.

During this time, he was well taken care of.

All the supplements in the harem were sent to him, and Lu Yanshi also hired a famous teacher to teach him martial arts. He now looked tall and smart, completely different from the poor little boy who was beaten and bullied a few months ago.

[Wow, Helian Qian has changed so much, I almost can't recognize him. ]

Lu Li widened her eyes.

When Helian Qian saw her, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing his deep dimples.

"Helian Qian meets the Ninth Princess."

He saluted Lu Li respectfully.

"No need to be polite!" Lu Li said these two words before Lu Yanshi.

Lu Yanshi laughed. Apart from Rourou and his father the Emperor and his mother the Empress, the word this child said most clearly was "no need to be polite".

"Stand up. This is the eldest princess of Dongling Kingdom." Lu Yanshi looked in the direction of Helian Saji.

Helian Qian froze in place on the spot.

The emperor didn't tell him that he would meet someone else today.

He turned his head and looked at Princess Dongli.

Helian Sarji had white hair and a kind look with a hint of sternness, which made him want to get closer but dare not.

When Helence saw him, tears rolled down his cheeks.

This child looks exactly like his mother.

No need to verify, this is definitely her grandson!

"Where is your mother?" she asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Dead." Helian Qian lowered his head, his tone extremely lonely.

Although this answer was expected, Helen Sar was still shocked.

Lu Yanshi left the main hall to the two of them to reminisce about the past, and he came out holding Lu Li in his arms.

Lu Li turned her head repeatedly and looked towards the hall, her little face full of confusion.

[Will Helian Qian leave with his grandmother? ]

[If he leaves, how long can he remember me? ]
