His daughter must have epilepsy

Ye Tangtang looked at Jun Yuyuan's hands, with their well-defined knuckles and long, slender fingers.

Wow, those really are the male lead's hands. They're so beautiful! He could be a hand model!

Ye Tangtang said softly, "Could I... shake your hand?"

Jun Yuyuan nodded. What this little girl said and what went on in her head were worlds apart.

Ye Tangtang took Jun Yuyuan's hand and gave it a gentle shake.

I touched him! Waaaah, I finally touched him!

Shen Qingqing: "..."

What a headache.

Had her daughter taken a fancy to this one too? Who was he, anyway?

Jun Yuyuan: ?

Why did she want to touch his hand? Did she like him?

But the very next second, reality slapped him squarely in the face.

Little Useless System, this should count, right? I really touched him! I should get points this time, right? Let me draw! I want to draw cake! Cake!

Points?

Had this little girl touched his hand just for these so-called points, which could also be used to draw cake? What were points? And what was cake?

Jun Yuyuan did not understand. This was the first time he had encountered anything like this, and he felt as though he had been used...

He had always been the one using other people.

A sharp glint flashed through the boy's eyes.

Ye Tangtang was still immersed in her delight, a smile on her face, her eyes curved into crescents and two little dimples showing.

What a huge haul today! The male lead alone gave me 1,000 points! I love the male lead, hahahaha!

Love?

Jun Yuyuan's fingers stirred slightly. In his palm, he held the lollipop Ye Tangtang had given him.

System: [Well done, Tang Tang! Now you only owe me 200 points.]

Then Ye Tangtang clasped Jun Yuyuan's hand again and shook it. Although he looked fierce and frightening, he had not seemed to snap at her when they shook hands earlier.

"You did save my life, after all. I'll repay you."

Jun Yuyuan: "?"

"Are you remembering it wrong? All I did was help you up."

Ye Tangtang nodded. "Mm-hmm! That still makes you my lifesaver. Let me shake your hand."

Ye Tangtang clung to Jun Yuyuan's hand and refused to let go. Ye Yubei ground his teeth as he watched. Did his daughter like that brat so much?

What was so good about that brat, apart from his pretty face? Was he as handsome as Ye Yubei? Besides, he was the crown prince of a fallen nation.

Still, Jun Yuyuan must be the male lead Tang Tang had mentioned. That made things simple. If he eliminated Jun Yuyuan, he would remove all future trouble for good and could remain emperor of Northern Li for years to come.

Jun Yuyuan naturally knew what Ye Tangtang was up to. She was merely using him to earn points, then draw the things she liked to eat.

Still, the little girl's hand was rather soft. Jun Yuyuan gently squeezed it, and Ye Tangtang shuddered all over before hurriedly letting go. Although she was already twelve, she had never been in a relationship!

Little Useless System, the points came through, right? After paying off the 200 points I owe you, I still have 300. Give me a draw! A draw!

All right.

Ye Tangtang immediately selected thirty consecutive draws. Clang, clang, clang! A wave of dizziness washed over her, and her little heart nearly leaped out of her chest with excitement.

Had she drawn some peerless treasure? Ideally, it would be a Soul-Restoring Pill that could bring the dead back to life, giving her beautiful mother another life.

Two jellies, a bag of Potato Chips, a carton of yogurt, and a pack of sanitary pads!!

Ye Tangtang was about to go crazy. Where were her lollipops? No ice cream, no cake, and no Soul-Restoring Pill either. What was the point of giving her sanitary pads?

She did not even have her period!

Still, she could give them to her beautiful mother, so they were at least a little useful.

Ye Tangtang returned dejectedly to her seat. All her efforts today had gone to waste.

Jun Yuyuan knew she was finished using him. She had not even offered a word of thanks. What an ungrateful little Xiao Bai. Had she failed to draw something she liked?

Ice cream, cake...

Jun Yuyuan quietly committed those two things to memory.

"Tang Tang, why are you so glum? Tell Mother what happened."

Shen Qingqing gently gathered her little daughter into her arms and stroked her head. Ye Tangtang looked up pitifully.

"Mother, am I a little Xiao Fu?"

"Of course you are. Tang Tang is Mother's greatest little Xiao Fu."

"Then why is my luck so terrible? I couldn't even draw a single cake..."

By the end, Ye Tangtang was muttering to herself.

"Tang Tang, what did you say?"

"Nothing, Mother. I'm hungry."

Ye Tangtang turned grief into appetite and began eating again, until her little belly was round and full.

At least this was much better than the previous world. She had transmigrated to the cultivation world at ten and spent two years slacking off before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After arriving in this damned place, she had even managed to become a princess, with so many delicious things to eat.

The banquet ended.

The consorts took their leave one after another. Ye Linze cast a reluctant glance at his ninth sister before leaving with his mother.

Ye Tangtang stretched lazily. She would go back and sleep some more. Being a princess was wonderful: eating, drinking, playing, lounging around, and sleeping.

"Mother, let's hurry back."

"All right."

Ye Yubei's gaze darkened. "Tang Tang, stay behind. Jun Yuyuan, you stay too. Emperor Father has something to tell you."

Ye Tangtang sat obediently. Daddy must be about to reward her! Hahahaha, she had already decided what reward she wanted.

Jun Yuyuan, however, was somewhat surprised. After all these years in the palace, had the emperor of Northern Li finally noticed him?

He had already kept such a low profile...

The Third Princess said in a sugary voice, "Emperor Father, I want to stay here and keep you company too."

"No need. Leave with your mother."

The Third Princess looked at Ye Tangtang beside her and glared viciously. Why did Emperor Father care so much about this little burden?

She's gone mad. This fake innocent is going mad again. I haven't done anything to provoke her. Still, she meets a pretty miserable end, but she only has herself to blame.

Ye Yubei pricked up his ears. After all, this was his third daughter, once his most beloved child. But Ye Tangtang stopped there.

Once everyone had left, a line of imperial physicians slowly entered from outside, standing in a neat queue. There were more than twenty of them, practically emptying out the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"Emperor Father, what's this for?"

Aren't you choosing a husband for me? Where are the candidates? These men are all too ugly and old! I don't want them. I want a handsome young man.

Ye Yubei: "..."

"Tang Tang, Emperor Father asked the imperial physicians to examine you. Didn't you say your hands had frostbite? Do they still hurt?"

"They don't hurt anymore, Emperor Father. They don't hurt at all. I'm not sick either. I don't want to see the imperial physicians."

Ye Tangtang burrowed into her beautiful mother's arms, feeling wronged. She wanted a husband, not imperial physicians.

Not sick?

Ye Yubei suspected that this daughter of his was ill, and seriously ill at that. Perhaps she had the legendary epilepsy.
