Rebirth of the Ninth Princess

"Oh, my precious little one has suffered so much. Don't worry, Your Highness. From now on, Hanxue and me will treat you even better."

Hanxue rubbed her reddened eyes and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We'll keep your secret. Are you hungry? Let me wash your face first, and then I'll make you something to eat."

Yuanjiu allowed them to lead her with one on each side, feeling a sense of warmth she had never experienced before.

She softly said, "Aunt Yue, Hanxue, don't call me 'Your Highness.' Just call me Xiaojiu. Father Emperor said you're my family."

Both Hanxue and Aunt Yue's eyes reddened again, and they exchanged a smile before saying in unison, "Yes, Xiaojiu."

The usually cold Heavenly Dragon Palace now radiated warmth like never before.

Since Yuanjiu had arrived at the Heavenly Dragon Palace, she had gained a separate kitchen that was specially prepared for Hanxue and Aunt Yue.

To be more precise, it was for Yuanjiu.

On most days, Hanxue and Aunt Yue would be here preparing various dishes and snacks for her.

Yuanjiu was still curious about those spiritual fruits, after all, such things didn't exist in her previous world.

She sat on a small stool, watching Hanxue skillfully slice the spiritual fruits into pieces and arranging them on a snow-white porcelain plate.

When Ouyang Qingcheng entered, he saw Yuanjiu sitting on the small stool and resting her chin in her hands while intently watching the stove with a cute expression.

"My darling, why are you in the kitchen?"

Hanxue and Aunt Yue quickly bowed their heads and Yuanjiu called out "Father Emperor" as she ran towards him.

Ouyang Qingcheng casually waved his hand at them and quickly scooping the small figure into his arms while heading towards the exit. "My darling, have you had breakfast?"

Yuanjiu nodded. "What about Father Emperor?"

"Mm, Father Emperor has already eaten."

After returning to the rest room, Ouyang Qingcheng sat at the desk and placed Yuanjiu on his lap.

He holding her tightly and deeply inhaling with satisfaction. "My darling, you're so comfortable to hold."

Yuanjiu watched as Ouyang Qingcheng opened a memorial, only to find it completely blank.

"There are no words."

"This is a confidential memorial, a highly secretive one. No one else can see it, and only the crystal stone, which has been engraved with the blood seal of the Emperor, can reveal the words," said Ouyang Qingcheng.

He took out a square, translucent purple crystal and lightly brushed it against the blank page, and lines of text began to appear.

After being quietly held in her father's arms for a while, Yuanjiu began to feel bored.

She then calmed herself and focused on adjusting her ability.

However, she suddenly sensing a fluctuation in her father's aura.

Although it was only brief, Yuanjiu managed to catch it.

"Father?"

"It's nothing. My darling, would you like to go out of the palace for a walk?" Ouyang Qingcheng put away the confidential memorial and smoothly changed the subject.
