After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Rui Rui was only five years old, so adorable, and so kind to him. She even gave him nine more years of life so he could fulfill his filial duties.

But in the end, he failed to take good care of her and even made her take the blame for him!

He's such a bad older brother; he didn't teach Qian Ge well, nor did he protect Zhao Hua!

Situ Tan wiped away his tears: "Father, I want to visit Zhaohua in a few days!"

"Go if you want to. Zhaohua has been kind to you, and we owe her a lot this time. Have your mother send some gifts from the storeroom to take with you. Don't be impolite!"

"yes!"

At that moment, Situ Tan secretly made up his mind that such a thing would never happen again!

In the future, as long as he lives, he will protect Tang Rui!

...

Night is falling!

Tang Rui, however, did not come to Qin Zhiyan's courtyard. Instead, she stayed in her Cuiwei Pavilion, indulging in food and drink.

"Princess, slow down, please slow down!" Seeing her mouth covered in grease, Rong Momo kept wiping it clean for her. "It's all yours, no one's going to take it from you!"

"I'm so hungry!" She vomited and had diarrhea so much in the palace that she had no more food in her stomach. She had to replenish it.

but…

Granny Rong asked curiously, "Princess, why aren't you dining with the Princess today?"

In the past, Tang Rui would go to Qin Zhiyan's place for a free meal eight out of ten times, and Qin Zhiyan would prepare a feast for her.

But today, when Qin Zhiyan sent someone to invite her, Tang Rui refused.

Tang Rui smiled meaningfully: "Father has broken his fast, but today is Mother's special day. Why should I join in the fun?"

Breaking the fast?

It took Rong Momo a few seconds to realize what those two words meant, and she was immediately overjoyed: "Princess, you mean the Prince..."

"That's exactly what you mean!"

Upon receiving Tang Rui's affirmation, Rong Momo wept with joy: "The Princess has waited for so many years, and finally, her wish has come true."

Tang Rui: "..." She understands and respects it. Anyway, she wouldn't do that if it were her!

She was right; Situ Che was indeed doing something bad with Qin Zhiyan.

However, Situ Che was inexperienced, and his first time was when he was forced by Tang Rao.

The second time, Gu Ruoxue took the initiative, and it was dark again.

Coincidentally, Qin Zhiyan was unloved by her father and had no mother before she got married. Rong Momo thought she knew how to do it, so no one taught her.

The two of them huddled in bed for a long time, trying to figure out which approach was correct, but they still couldn't.

In the end, to avoid making any mistakes, Situ Che simply visited them all.

The next day, after Tang Rui woke up, she heard the maids whispering that she had called for water seven times that night.

Tang Rui: "..."

Wow, that's incredible! The guy who had sex seven times a night is actually her biological father.

As a daughter, I shouldn't pry into my father's bedroom affairs.

But when Tang Rui went to discuss the shop with Consort Li, she heard her crying to her maid in the room.

They say Situ Che has favored the Princess Consort and Consort Gu, when will it be her turn?

Tang Rui couldn't bear to see the "domineering CEO" cry, so she wrote a schedule and presented it to Situ Che, hoping he would adopt it.

Situ Che's eyes twitched when he saw the schedule presented by his precious daughter, and he was so angry that he almost beat her up with the chicken feather Zenzi.

How can she act like a daughter?

Are these things she should be worried about?

We still need to arrange for a nanny, otherwise what will become of this daughter in the future?

So, the next day happened to be the day off for the Imperial Academy Supervisor, and Tang Rui, who was fast asleep, was woken up by Rong Momo before dawn.

Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, Tang Rui looked at Rong Mama in confusion again: "Mama, isn't today a day off?"

"It's a day off, but His Highness has invited an old nanny from the palace to teach you manners." At this point, Rong Mama pointed to an unfamiliar old nanny beside her and introduced her: "This is Yuan Mama; she's a veteran of the palace, and she used to serve the Empress Dowager!"

What?

Tang Rui felt like the sky had fallen: "Is Father finally going to harm me?"

Rong Momo: "..." What kind of talk is this?

Granny Yuan, who had remained silent, gave a forced smile, her cloudy old eyes scrutinizing Tang Rui critically: "Princess, please get up quickly, lest you be late."

"Wait, wait a minute, I'll go ask Father." Tang Rui didn't care about sleeping anymore, she immediately got up, quickly washed and dressed, and rushed to Situ Che's study.

When she arrived, Situ Che was already up and standing in the courtyard.

Qingfeng, whom he hadn't seen for many days, also returned and was beside him, seemingly talking to him about something.

Upon seeing Tang Rui, Situ Che raised his hand.

Qingfeng understood immediately, shut up, and cupped his hands in a respectful greeting to Tang Rui: "Princess!"

"It's so good that Qingfeng is back!" Tang Rui wasn't in the mood to find out what he was saying to Situ Che. She ran up to Situ Che, tilted her head back, and looked at him with her wet eyes: "Daddy, did you hire a nanny for me?"

Situ Che nodded: "You are a princess of the royal family, and your words and actions represent the imperial family. You should learn the proper etiquette."

Tang Rui was almost in tears: "Can't I just not learn? I think I'm very well-behaved!"

Situ Che chuckled: "Good? Good enough to make a schedule? That's outrageous!"

"I was just concerned about my stepmothers, what did I do wrong?" Tang Rui didn't want anything to take up her rest time, so she clung to Situ Che's leg and continued, "Daddy, I won't dare to do it again! Please ask Granny Yuan to go back, okay? There are so many formalities, I can't learn them all!"

Seeing her like this, Situ Che's heart softened, and he squatted down to comfort her, saying, "Zhaohua, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. As long as you persevere and learn diligently from Granny Yuan, how could you not learn? Your father believes that you will definitely become a qualified young lady from a prominent family."

"Nonsense!" Tang Rui pouted and began her long-winded explanation: "What do you mean by 'the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold'? Whether plum blossoms are fragrant or not has nothing to do with the bitter cold they endure. Plum blossoms are fragrant because they are naturally fragrant."

Situ Che: "..." He was speechless!

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Tang Rui tugged at his trouser leg, her eyes brimming with tears: "Father, I have to get up so early every day to go to the Imperial Academy. I finally get a day off, and you still send a nanny to torment me. Do you really love me?"

Situ Che, who had initially intended to let it go, turned cold again upon hearing the word "love": "There's no room for discussion. If you don't learn properly from Granny Yuan, your meals will be halved from now on."

"...Are you my stepfather?"

"Daddy is so mean! I don't like you anymore!"

Seeing that she couldn't reason with her, Tang Rui stormed off in a huff.

Qingfeng watched her retreating figure with concern, and said carefully, "Your Highness, the princess is still young, there's no need to push her so hard. Besides, that person might take her away to the Southern Barbarians in the future... Women are respected, so she won't need to learn these things."

Situ Che glanced at him sideways: "Do you think I invited Granny Yuan here just to teach her manners?"

Qingfeng, puzzled, asked, "Does Your Highness have another meaning?"
