"You naughty child, His Majesty is in a bad mood today, so you better behave."

The female official named Murong Wan'er, who had been a personal maid since the princess's time, later became the chief stewardess when the princess became the empress. Within the palace, she was not only highly respected but also held significant authority.

"I understand, Aunt Wan."

Qin Tianjiao nestled in Murong Wan'er's arms, speaking very obediently.

But in his heart, he thought, "Bad mood? Is it that time of the month for her? Can't mess with that..."

The carriage arrived smoothly at the palace, and Murong Wan'er carried Qin Tianjiao directly to the empress's bedchamber.

If one didn't know better, they would think the empress had already married and had children, with small beds for children and all kinds of toys in the bedchamber, all prepared for Qin Tianjiao.

"Godmother~ Tianjiao misses you so much." Qin Tianjiao said in a child's innocent tone.

"Come, godmother hug you. Oh, little one, you've gotten heavier again."

The empress hugged Qin Tianjiao and kissed his little face, showing great affection.

Since she first saw this child, she had grown very fond of him. Initially, she had declared him as an adopted son, from an emperor's perspective. However, over the past year, she had truly come to see him as her own child.

As for Gu Luoyi? Just a nanny!

The domineering aspect of an emperor was evident.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deceiving the Goddess of Luck's emotions, rewarding 1000 points of villain points.]

This was also the main reason why Qin Tianjiao liked coming to the palace!

Without Qin Yingxiong, he had found a stable source for accumulating villain points. Moreover, he was now the only source of experience, so he had to work hard.

"You little rascal, do you want me to decree your presence in the palace? Can't you just say you want to see godmother? Or is Gu Luoyi not allowing you to come and accompany godmother?" The empress lay on the bed, placing Qin Tianjiao on her stomach.

"If the eternal empress acts as a mattress, shouldn't I get some achievement for that?" Qin Tianjiao teased the system.

"Little rascal, are you asleep? Just closed your eyes and fell asleep, looks like I'll be the only one enjoying the lychees brought as tribute."

"Yawn... Sorry, godmother, I just dozed off with my eyes closed. Did someone mention eating lychees in my dream?"

"Eat... nothing! Go play by yourself!"

"No, lying on godmother is so comfortable, I want to keep lying down."

Murong Wan'er held the lychees urgently sent from the Ten Thousand Mountains, feeling a myriad of emotions.

Which emperor didn't have hands stained with blood, achieving greatness at the cost of countless lives.

Now, she was both coquettish and angry with a one-year-old child. If anyone found out, their jaws would drop!

Even these lychees were ordered by the empress to be urgently sent from the Ten Thousand Mountains, with no stops along the way. The Spirit Beasts flying were exhausted several times... all just for this little one to taste something new.

"Your Majesty, the lychees are washed." Murong Wan'er put down the lychees and respectfully said.

"Good, leave them there. Today, I won't see anyone. Handle minor matters yourself, postpone major ones," the empress said sternly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Murong Wan'er left, the empress reached out, and a lychee flew out of the plate into her hand.

She peeled the lychee, fed it to Qin Tianjiao in one go, showing that she had done this many times and was quite skilled.

These lychees were not ordinary; they were fruits from a thousand-year-old lychee tree in the Ten Thousand Mountains, not only sweet but also containing spiritual energy. They were a rare type of Spirit Medicine.

The Great Xia Dynasty had a special team responsible for guarding this lychee tree, and its fruits were offered as tribute every year.

"Delicious, so sweet. I want to feed godmother too." Qin Tianjiao's small hand extended, and the spiritual energy within him seemed to extend his arm, picking up a lychee and placing it in his hand. After peeling it, he offered it to the empress.

The empress ate it delightfully, the lychee sweet in her mouth, making her heart equally sweet.

What she felt from Qin Tianjiao was the affection she had always wanted but never received.

The imperial family had no familial affection!

When she was young, she studied under the Jade Lake Sacred Land, which was one of the few happy memories of her childhood. If it weren't for the annoying Gu Luoyi, it would have been even more perfect...

Returning to the Great Xia, she didn't receive her father's love, mother's care, or siblings' welcome.

Instead, she faced brutal struggles!

She thought this was her fate, but everything changed after she met Qin Tianjiao. She felt the pure innocence in this little one's heart.

She quickly found emotional solace, pouring all the love she imagined her parents would give her into Qin Tianjiao.

Unconditional love, boundless indulgence.

"Little rascal, has the Jade Lake Master already taken you as a disciple?" the empress casually asked while peeling the lychee.

"It seems so? I don't know, but those peaches are really delicious. But lychees not peeled by godmother aren't as tasty."

"Hmph, always trying to please godmother. Those Flat Peaches take three thousand years to ripen, how can they compare to these lychees?" The empress said insincerely, but the curve of her mouth gave her away.

"Did she mention when you should go to the Jade Lake Sacred Land?"

"I don't know. I won't go; I can't bear to leave my mother or godmother."

"You've been pampered for nothing. But you still have to go. The Jade Lake Sacred Land is one of the Three Great Saint Lands, and with your talent, only a Sacred Land is worthy of teaching you. Your ancestors can lay the foundation for you, but it's impossible for them to make you a Great Emperor." The empress said.

"However, godmother also studied under Jade Lake, so she can teach you for a few years on behalf of your master. You can go when you're older, alright?" The empress finally showed her true intentions.

"Okay, I'll listen to godmother." Qin Tianjiao suppressed a smile, pretending not to have noticed.

"I'll write a letter to your master. Are you full? Let's go to sleep." The empress tidied up the lychee peels.

"Okay."

The empress hugged Qin Tianjiao, humming an unknown tune softly and patting his back gently.

Qin Tianjiao's eyelids grew heavier and heavier...
