Li Ruiheng and a few others tried making a cake in the kitchen. After several attempts, they finally succeeded.
Then they made several and shared them among the Li family members.
The festive atmosphere of the New Year was immediately lifted.
Xiao Sheng pushed Li Xingran's car and took her back to her room.
Shirley asked Aunt Cheng to help carry Li Xingran to the bed.
Xiao Sheng stood outside for a while.
When Sherry came out, she saw the Emperor still standing at the door and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the young lady is asleep. She will be taking a nap for an hour. You may continue with your duties!"
"Sherry, I have a few questions for you."
"This servant is terrified." Xue Li knelt down.
"Rise and answer, rise and answer. From now on, you don't need to be so restrained in front of me."
When Xiao Sheng was still the Crown Prince, Xue Li was respectful to him, but she wasn't afraid of him.
But after he ascended the throne, everyone's attitude towards him suddenly changed.
This is probably what life is all about – the give and take!
"Your Majesty, whatever you wish to ask, this servant will answer to the best of her knowledge." Xue Li stood behind Xiao Sheng with her head bowed.
"What has your young lady been busy with lately?" Xiao Sheng had so many questions to ask.
"Your Majesty, Miss has been staying at home recently, thinking about things for next year, but I don't know the specifics."
When Shirley came to Li Xingran's side, she didn't have to do any work at all.
Because Shirley discovered that although Li Xingran was not yet two years old, she did not need anyone else to help her with eating, dressing, or combing her hair.
Li Xingran can even recognize and write characters, do arithmetic, and recite texts without any problem.
She was just a companion.
Sometimes I help Li Xingran carry heavy things.
Sherry felt that she was not here to be a slave. Have you ever seen a slave who can earn a thousand taels of silver a year?
She has it in Sydney.
"Does your young lady have any particular favorite things?" Xiao Sheng continued to ask.
"Miss loves gold the most. She has collected a lot of gold, but she doesn't like other jewelry."
"In her words, only gold retains its value the best."
"Anything else?"
"Miss has been reading quite a few books lately."
"Master Huoshan brought Miss a few books, which I can't understand, but Miss can understand them! I asked the eldest young master and the others, and none of them can understand them! Miss is so amazing."
Is it a book from overseas?
"Yes, yes, that character is very strange."
"Sherry, can you read too?"
“Miss taught me some things on a regular basis, and now I can write and understand quite a few books.”
Xiao Sheng recalled Li Xingran's thoughts; it seemed she was fluent in six languages.
It's amazing that Li Xingran was able to teach Xue Li, who had never written or read before, in such a short time. This is something that not everyone can do!
The more Xiao Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that only the throne was worthy of Li Xingran, and nothing else seemed to be right for him.
"Sherry, what do you think of your young lady?"
Once this was mentioned, Sherry started talking non-stop.
“Our young lady is so kind. She never scolds me.”
"She also paid me a very high salary, ah, a monthly allowance. According to the prostitute, everyone who works gets paid, it's called a salary. Being with her every day is like working."
"Miss is so beautiful, she'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty."
"Miss also knows a lot, a lot, a lot of stories, and sometimes she tells me some of them, they're so interesting."
Xiao Sheng was truly envious of Xue Li at this moment, as she could accompany Li Xingran day and night.
Xiao Sheng took a small goldfish out of his pocket and placed it in Xue Li's hand.
"Sherry, thank you for saying so much today."
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable! Answering your questions is my duty."
"There aren't that many responsibilities in this world. Take it, listen to your young lady, gold is the best store of value!"
"Alright, I'll accept it then. This little fish is quite cute; I'll give it to Miss later." Shirley smiled innocently.
No wonder Li Xingran specifically asked for Xue Li. Such a naive little girl, all she ever thinks about is Li Xingran.
Thinking of the little girl in the book who was burned alive by Xiao Yuyan along with Li Xingran, Xiao Sheng felt heartbroken.
Let's take some time to deal with Xiao Yuyan too!
Xiao Sheng was urged to return to the palace by a small horse. After bidding farewell to Li Ting and his wife, Xiao Sheng returned to the capital.
Emperor Hui's soul has returned to its place, but because Zhao Yunwan used special methods to extract one of his souls, Emperor Hui's body is very weak.
It needs to be raised.
Inside Zhao Yunwan's body was still the soul of that old hen.
Li Xingran said that Zhao Yunwan's body was still useful, so it was kept in a secret room in the East Palace and looked after by Linghu Yao.
Li Xingran confirmed with the King of Hell that Zhao Yunwan's soul is currently undergoing extreme torture in the underworld.
And they will never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
After Xu Ningyou fed the farmer the medicine, she sent him back to where he was.
Upon returning home, the old mother was heartbroken to find her brothers had become mentally disabled.
The family was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat.
So the farmer had no choice but to take his elderly mother and two brothers and beg from place to place.
If they hadn't harbored malicious intentions towards Zhao Yunwan, she might not have used such vicious seductive techniques.
However, the cause and effect in this world are predetermined. Only by not being greedy or robbing, and by earning one's own living, can one obtain the best life.
On New Year's Eve, the Li family still had a reunion dinner together as a whole family.
Li Xingran made a list, and Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin were responsible for purchasing the ingredients, while Fan Zuan helped to cook modern dishes.
The people in the Li family kitchen prepared the traditional New Year's Eve dinner of the Southern Chen Kingdom.
