Truly Ye Yubei's daughter, just as fickle as he was

"In that case, I won't summon the Imperial Physician. Prepare yourself properly tomorrow and go to the Royal Academy."

Ye Yubei affectionately stroked his daughter's head. He also hoped his Tang Tang would become an accomplished young woman.

Though that dream seemed far beyond reach, it wasn't impossible to achieve.

[No, no, no, I haven't lost yet. I can still put up a struggle.]

[What excuse can I use? What excuse should I find? Little Useless System, get out here and give your boss some ideas! If you come up with a good one, I'll do a mission today.]

The system: "Really? Tang Tang, do you really mean that?"

[Of course I do. When have I ever lied to you?]

"Tang Tang, you can sneak into the pond in the back garden tonight and take a cold bath. Then you'll really be sick tomorrow, and if you're sick, you won't have to go."

[Little Useless System, you never disappoint! It's happily settled, then. Tomorrow I can lie flat and be a salted fish again, la-la-la!]

Ye Yubei pricked up his ears, but he still couldn't make out exactly what wicked scheme Ye Tangtang was plotting.

Whatever wicked scheme she had in mind, he had to get her into the classroom tomorrow, lest she keep flitting around in front of him and giving him a headache with all her noise.

Having such a noisy daughter really was a headache.

Ye Tangtang pointed at the spicy strips on the table. "Emperor Father, why haven't you finished the spicy strips? Don't you like what Tang Tang gave you?"

"Of course I like it," Ye Yubei said tearfully.

"Then why aren't you eating any more, Emperor Father? You have to finish this packet of spicy strips. They were so hard for me to get."

Ye Tangtang looked at him expectantly. "I'll watch Emperor Father finish this packet of Spicy Strips with my own eyes."

Ye Yubei: "..."

"Emperor Father, hurry up and eat."

Then Ye Yubei had a mouthful forcibly fed to him...

They were so spicy that the great tyrant nearly began questioning his entire existence.

[Wow! Scumbag Dad is amazing! He doesn't even think these are spicy. As expected of Emperor Father—so mighty and imposing!]

For the sake of his dignity, he endured.

In his daughter's eyes, he was exceptionally mighty.

Ye Yubei forced himself to endure and finished all the spicy strips.

What in the world was this damned stuff?

Its production had to be banned from now on!

Banned!!

"Emperor Father, I've delivered your food, and you've eaten it. I'm leaving now."

Ye Tangtang waved her little hand at Scumbag Dad, her smile utterly harmless.

Emperor Father seemed to really like what she had brought him this time. Surely she had successfully earned some affection points.

Ye Yubei was sweating all over his head from the heat. Just go already.

The moment Ye Tangtang left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Ye Yubei grabbed a teapot and began drinking, downing two whole pots of water in a row.

It was the first time Eunuch Wang had ever seen His Majesty lose his composure like this. What on earth had happened?

"Your Majesty, what happened? Why are you sweating so much? Let this servant wipe it away for you."

The heat nearly brought tears to Ye Yubei's eyes. "Go. Go and bring me all the latest tribute fruit."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, these are the latest fruits offered in tribute by the Qin Ye Kingdom, and they're the freshest as well. Please try them and see whether they suit your taste."

Ye Yubei no longer cared whether they suited his taste. His mouth was about to explode. He grabbed an orange and ate it, then ate dragon fruit, bananas, and grapes before finally suppressing the burning in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, what exactly did the Ninth Princess give you to eat? How did you end up like this?"

Ye Yubei pointed at the Spicy Strips packet on the table. "Go open that bag and give it a lick. Then you'll know why I'm like this."

Eunuch Wang wouldn't dare disobey His Majesty's command. He actually opened up the packet of Spicy Strips Ye Yubei had just emptied and licked it.

The heat nearly made him cry out on the spot, but when he saw His Majesty, he forcibly swallowed the cry.

Tears streamed down his face. He was a eunuch to begin with-how could he withstand such heat?

"Your Majesty... what poisonous substance is this?!"

Watching Eunuch Wang cry from the heat inexplicably put Ye Yubei in a wonderful mood. Sure enough, good things ought to be shared.

"This is something good Tang Tang gave me. Eunuch Wang, what do you think of the flavor?"

"Very... very good..."

Eunuch Wang tearfully forced out those words.

He would never dare eat anything the Ninth Princess sent again. It could kill a man!!

After what had just happened, Ye Yubei suddenly saw the light.

Whatever those women did had nothing to do with him. His daughter was still the sweetest-she even remembered to bring him food.

Apart from being a little noisy... and setting her father up a little, there was nothing much wrong with that girl.

Ye Tangtang leisurely made her way to the Palace of Gathered Elegance. By then, evening had fallen.

"Tang Tang, where did you run off to? Why were you gone so long?"

Ye Tangtang fell into a warm embrace, fragrant and soft, and couldn't resist nuzzling against it.

[Wah, wah! Mommy's so soft and smells so lovely~ Snuggles~]

"I went to bring Emperor Father something to eat. Mommy, Emperor Father really loves spicy strips. He finished both packets."

Shen Qingqing was doubtful. "R-really?"

She vaguely remembered that His Majesty disliked spicy food and couldn't tolerate even a little heat.

"Really! Emperor Father finished both packets of spicy strips right in front of me. He's definitely going to like me a lot now, right? Maybe he'll even give me a reward. I want money, money!"

Ye Tangtang's eyes sparkled. With money, she could go find handsome young men and buy things to eat.

"What a little money-grubber. Tang Tang, what do you need so much money for?"

[To find handsome young men, of course (,,•́ . •̀,,)]

Shen Qingqing: "..."

When had her daughter turned into such a little lecher?

Last time, she had even been thinking about marrying thirty prince consorts.

Shen Qingqing looked utterly speechless. "..."

"Is it to find handsome young men? Does Tang Tang still want to marry lots of prince consorts?"

"Mommy, I don't! I never!"

Ye Tangtang shook her head innocently, looking for all the world as though she had been falsely accused.

[How does Mommy know what I'm thinking? Could it be... a mother and daughter's hearts are linked? She really is my mommy. She nearly saw through my true nature. Luckily, my acting is superb.]

[Hahahaha! Thirty prince consorts can't satisfy me anymore. Scumbag Dad has three thousand beauties in his harem, so wanting three hundred isn't excessive, right?]

Shen Qingqing: "..."

She really was Ye Yubei's daughter.

She was every bit as fickle as he was.

A great big philandering radish!

"Mommy, you have to believe me. How could I possibly be that fickle? I'm Mommy's sweetest little darling."

Ye Tangtang nestled in Shen Qingqing's arms, rubbing her soft little face against her chest and wrapping her two little paws around her waist.

[Huff, huff... Mommy smells so lovely~]

[Her waist is so slender!!]

[So big and soft. I'm burying my face in them!]

Shen Qingqing: "..."

Whose little lecher was this?

Ye Yubei's. Definitely not hers.
