A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 135 It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

He slept for a hundred years, and when he awoke, everything had changed. Even his closest father and mother were gone. It was a situation that no one could bear.

Not to mention that the little princess is only three years old.

Therefore, although the little princess usually appeared very carefree and innocent, Emperor Xuanhe still had to worry about her.

Just like today, the little princess woke up so early and went to the Scarlet Jade Garden again.

When Emperor Xuanhe thought of his little princess wandering alone in the Scarlet Jade Garden, recalling everything from a hundred years ago, his heart instantly ached.

It's all the fault of those later emperors of the Great Qing Dynasty for being incompetent.

That's why the little princess needed to wake up after a hundred years of slumber to save them. If emperors like Emperor Qian Yuan had the ability, they wouldn't have needed the little princess to sacrifice so much.

"Your Majesty, Princess Fuqing has arrived."

Just as Emperor Xuanhe was about to go see his little princess and comfort her.

But then she heard Liu De's reminder, looked up, and saw the little princess walk in.

From afar, Emperor Xuanhe observed the expression on the little princess's face and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she was alright.

"Your Majesty's nephew, Sui Sui is here."

"Sui Sui has something important to tell you."

Emperor Xuanhe had the young princess sit next to him and then gestured for Liu De to bring over a plate of pastries.

Originally, Emperor Xuanhe limited the amount of these pastries his youngest aunt could consume each day, fearing that eating too much would damage her teeth.

But now, he feels that when people are sad, eating more of their favorite foods can make them feel better, which is not a bad thing.

As for bad teeth...

It's just one more day of eating; it won't cause tooth decay.

Sure enough, Emperor Xuanhe saw that his little princess's mood instantly improved after taking a bite of the sweet pastry.

While eating, he told Emperor Xuanhe about the dream he had the previous night.

At first, Emperor Xuanhe didn't think anything of it.

She assumed that the little princess had mentioned Emperor Qianyuan and his wife during the day, and that she had been thinking about them during the day and dreaming about them at night.

But later on, Emperor Xuanhe realized something was wrong.

"...Little Princess, are you saying that the Emperor Taizu said there would be a snow disaster at the end of the year, and that I must be careful?"

"Yes, that's what Father Emperor said."

Emperor Xuanhe: It seems that Emperor Taizu asked his little aunt to tell him what will happen in the future.

However, he did know about the snow disaster.

The booklet that the little princess gave me before listed the major natural disasters that have occurred in Daqing in the past ten years.

The snow disaster that occurred at the end of the 42nd year of Emperor Xuanhe's reign was among them.

Just ...

Emperor Xuanhe also mentioned this matter in the same way.

"...The problem is that there aren't many other ways to keep warm right now, and the coal mines aren't enough either."

But at that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Sui Sui's mind...

[An impending snowstorm has been detected. A task is now being issued.]

[Task Issued: Su Xiuxiu, a peasant girl from Xinghua Village, Anhe County, is the host's cousin. The host can send her to the capital. She can invent a heated kang (traditional heated bed) and honeycomb briquettes that can be used by ordinary people, helping the people of Daqing overcome the snow disaster. The host is requested to appoint Su Xiuxiu as a female official, have her work for the host, and win Su Xiuxiu's heart.]

[Difficulty Rating: Hell Level. The host is merely a sixth-rank official in the imperial court, unable to interfere with the appointment of officials. While the practice of appointing female officials existed in the past, restoring it now is extremely difficult. The host must overcome the opposition of the court officials to appoint Su Xiuxiu as a female official, and also use their own charm to win Su Xiuxiu's heart—truly no easy task.]

[Mission Rewards: 5 coal mines and 2 cotton-producing areas within Daqing. Cotton quilts, cotton-padded coats, and other clothing made from cotton have excellent warmth retention.]

Sui Sui thought to herself, "Wow, it's been so long! Finally, all the tasks have been assigned."

Just ...

Sui Sui felt that all of this was a bit abnormal.

Who is Su Xiuxiu?

Sui Sui doesn't remember knowing such a person.

Or is it her own cousin?

The person who could be called her cousin is probably already dead; how could she possibly still be alive?

Moreover, she, Sui Sui, is Princess Fuqing, a princess, not a sixth-rank official!

And female officials... Didn't she already appoint Xiao Shishi and Xiao Huaxi as female officials?

Appointing a female official is not difficult.

Sui Sui thought that all of this was really strange.

However, Sui Sui didn't care about these things.

As long as she does everything she says, she'll get a reward.

Coal mines, and cotton too.

Sui Sui knew, of course, that these two things were good.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Sui Sui will help you."

Emperor Xuanhe smiled, not allowing himself to show any worry in front of his little aunt, "Yes, nephew naturally trusts little aunt."

"Oh, right, nephew, Father also mentioned something else. The wicked eldest prince of Chen Kingdom is coming to attack Daqing!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe's expression immediately turned serious.

The reason is simple: the name "Chen State" is a very sensitive word for the emperor of Daqing.

This is simply because the two countries are sworn enemies.

It's the kind of fight where it's destined to be a fight to the death.

"Little Imperial Aunt, could you tell your nephew the details? The Emperor Taizu said that the eldest prince of Chen is coming to attack Daqing?"

"Correct!"

Sui Sui recalled the words her father had said to her in her dream, and dared not omit anything, telling him everything she knew.

After listening, Emperor Xuanhe remained silent.

He heard it clearly.

In his dream, Emperor Taizu and his little princess asked the little princess to tell him about the snow disaster, as well as the fact that the eldest prince of Chen would cross the sea to attack Daqing at the beginning of next year.

In fact, Emperor Xuanhe was not surprised that Chen Guohui wanted to attack Daqing.

After all, Chen Guo had always coveted Daqing.

They almost managed to take over Daqing back then, but because the old emperor of Chen was seriously ill and there was internal strife in Chen, several princes went back to fight for the throne, so they withdrew, which gave Daqing a few years to catch its breath.

In recent years, Emperor Xuanhe had been paying close attention to news from the Chen Kingdom.

The old emperor was seriously ill back then, but he hasn't died in the past few years. However, he should be dying soon.

At that time, he thought, wait until the old emperor of Chen died.

With the new emperor on the throne, it is estimated that it will not be long before the new emperor's position is consolidated, which will coincide with the time when the Chen Kingdom attacks Daqing.

But I never expected it to come so quickly.

The old emperor was still alive when the eldest prince of Chen wanted to attack Daqing.

Emperor Xuanhe was also aware of the combat capabilities of the eldest prince of Chen.

He was a brave and skilled warrior, but also a ruthless one.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanhe was not at all surprised that the eldest prince of Chen would commit the massacre of a city.

but……

Those are the people of Daqing, his subjects.

How could he stand by and watch his people be slaughtered?

"Little Princess, I know about this matter. I will think of a solution."

"Ah."

After his youngest princess left, Emperor Xuanhe sat on the dragon throne and sighed.

It's really like adding insult to injury.

The snow disaster is still unresolved, and now the Chen army is coming.

but……

Emperor Xuanhe thought that now that he knew, he would definitely have to take precautions.

Thinking of the sea area bordering Chen State and Daqing.

Emperor Xuanhe said, "Liu De, go and invite Consort Liu Chen here!"
