Reincarnated as the daughter of my mortal enemy, all I want is to ascend the throne.

Some things are not meant to be yours, and no matter how hard you try, they will never be yours.

Li Yan was too used to this feeling, just like how he could never get clothes made by his mother before.

Li Qingyan lay half-lying on Yan Xu's head, shaking her head as she looked at Li Yan.

"Old Deng will drive you crazy."

Seeing her expression, Li Yan knew this little brat was doing it on purpose. He slightly raised his eyelids. "Looks like those newly delivered books don't need to be put in your study either..."

"Oh no!"

Li Qingyan was shocked; she had actually forgotten about this.

[Host, you've gone too far, haven't you? I heard that several of those books are unique copies.]

That flying fork really knows how to stab someone in the back.

A fawning smile immediately appeared on Li Qingyan's face as she reached out and called out, "Daddy~ hug me~"

Li Qingyan has grown a bit taller recently, but she's still quite chubby. When she stretches out her plump little hands, she really looks like a chubby little rabbit.

Li Yan didn't take the bait. He just watched as she reached out her hand, gently lifted the tea lid, took a sip of tea, and looked relaxed.

"Old Deng, with his eccentric temper."

Li Qingyan patted Yan Xu on the shoulder, telling him to put her on the ground.

Once on the ground, Li Qingyan toddled over to Li Yan's side, looked up at him, and said, "Dad~ your daughter is the most filial daughter. I can forget anyone but you."

Li Qingyan climbed onto the table and sat down. She took out a light blue hair ribbon from her bosom. The ribbon was embroidered with auspicious clouds in silver thread, and a pearl pendant with matching tassels hung from the end of the ribbon. It looked exceptionally gorgeous.

"This is from Dad."

Li Yan glanced at it lightly, snorted coldly, and pointed to the crown on her head, "Put it on."

Li Qingyan's lips twitched as she looked at her bright yellow robe. This golden robe paired with a blue hairband was just too ugly.

She rubbed her face, her reason and aesthetic sense battling. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Dad...this doesn't match."

This trip is solely for ancestor worship; no other colored clothing was prepared.

A hint of melancholy flashed in Li Yan's eyes. He rested his chin on one hand and hooked the tassel of the hair ribbon in Li Qingyan's hand with the other.

He's the emperor, so he can't dress too badly.

"Your Majesty, I have a set of blue military attire, the same color as this hairband. If Your Majesty doesn't mind..."

Yan Xu naturally prepared a lot of clothes for his trip away from home.

Upon closer inspection, the subtle embroidery on the blue military uniform turned out to be an osmanthus pattern. Wearing this outfit, Li Yan appeared tall and slender, losing some of his scholarly air and gaining a more carefree and elegant air.

This blue robe made Li Yan look like a young man in his early twenties. He was reminiscent of the young general in silver armor in the military camp years ago. It was somewhat mesmerizing.

Li Qingyan stood on the table and personally removed the golden dragon hair crown from Li Yan's head, tying on a blue hair ribbon.

Looking at Li Yan in the bronze mirror.

"As expected of the father I chose, look at him."

【…】

Feicha shook his head, potato chips in his mouth. The host was no longer the one who had cursed Li Yan in the space, saying he looked like a toad.

-----------------

On the way back to the city, Li Qingyan didn't want to ride in a carriage, so she sat on her horse and followed Li Yan's carriage.

Li Yan lifted the curtain to look at her, "The little brat is so chubby and thick-skinned, doesn't she feel cold?"

Li Qingyan looked at him with her eyes half-closed, speechless.

"Li Yan, I'm not deaf, I'm just a child."

It was past noon when they returned to the city, and it got colder and colder. Li Yan not only put several layers of clothes on her, but also put the thickest fox fur cloak over her original cloak, making her look like a rice ball covered in white fur.

Li Qingyan's eyes darted around, "Li Yan..."

Before she could finish speaking, the horse beneath Li Qingyan suddenly neighed and galloped away. Li Qingyan instinctively leaned on the horse's back and grabbed the reins.

"Your Highness!"

"You little brat!"

Li Yan and Yan Xu reacted quickly, leaping onto their horses and galloping off in Li Qingyan's direction, one in blue and one in red.

The soldiers behind him followed closely, but how could human legs compare to the speed of a thoroughbred horse?

Li Qingyan gripped the reins tightly. Li Yan had told her that she must not be thrown off the horse, or she would die.

There's something wrong with this horse.

Li Qingyan racked her brains, thinking about how to save her life. There was a river just across this forest, and she was a good swimmer; she could survive if she fell in.

The harpoon lured it toward the river.

Yes, host. You...

You must hold on tight...

The mechanical sound of the fork trembled slightly, and the crackling of electricity exploded in Li Qingyan's ears.

"Okay, okay... don't get agitated, my ears are killing me."

People are often calmest when they are most desperate.

only……

There is a cliff ahead.

"Oh no."

Just as Li Qingyan was about to jump off her horse and take a gamble, she heard a horse neighing in her ear.

The horse's neighing made her horse stop beside the cliff.

Is this what they call pulling back from the brink?

Li Qingyan's heart pounded, and she rolled her eyes dramatically. "That joke isn't funny at all."

Before she could react, she was suddenly picked up. Li Qingyan turned around and saw that it was Wuhen.

It was clearly at the horse farm, so how did it end up here?

Li Qingyan was carried away and placed on the ground.

The horse on the cliff had strange eyes. As soon as it calmed down, it charged at Li Qingyan as if it wanted to kill her.

Wuhen turned around and kicked the horse with its hind legs, sending it plummeting off the cliff.

Li Qingyan, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. She knew Wuhen was smart, but she never expected him to be this smart.

Wuhen rubbed its nose against Li Qingyan's face, opened its mouth and ripped off the two cloaks on Li Qingyan's body, threw them on the ground and kicked them twice. It also snorted at Li Qingyan twice, right on her face.

Li Qingyan wiped the saliva off her face and glared at Wuhen, "Why did you spit on me?"

Wuhen snorted at Li Qingyan again.

Li Qingyan closed her eyes, then opened them again, grabbed Wuhen's mane, and mounted her horse.

[Host... please stop...]

The flying fork's electronic face froze instantly.

Li Qingyan then took a bite out of Wuhen's horse ear. Wuhen kept snorting, and even though he couldn't understand what she was saying, he felt that her words were very filthy.

When Li Yan and Yan Xu arrived, they saw a small rabbit nibbling on the horse's ear.

Li Yan glanced at Yan Xu, frowned, and asked, "Did Yan Li teach you this?"

When Yan Li was five years old, she was frightened by the family's hunting dog and, in a fit of anger, bit the dog's head.

Yan Xu's face remained expressionless; he simply said, "Perhaps."

Wuhen dared not shake off Li Qingyan, so he could only keep shaking his head.

Li Yan quickly went over, grabbed Li Qingyan by the back of her collar, pulled her down, and held her in his arms.

Upon seeing Li Yan, Li Qingyan immediately hugged his neck, "Li Yan, that horse went mad just now..."

"If it weren't for Wuhen, I would be dead."

She buried her face in Li Yan's neck without crying, but her tears soon soaked Li Yan's clothes.

Fortunately, Li Qingyan wasn't too scared after fighting with Wuhen. Li Yan glanced at the hoofprints on the cliff edge and could tell that Wuhen had kicked the horse off.

Wuhen snorted when they made eye contact. She deliberately lowered her head to show him the ear that Li Qingyan had bitten earlier.

Li Yan raised an eyebrow. Was this horse trying to become a spirit?

Feeling that Li Qingyan in his arms had calmed down, he pulled her face away. "Wuhen saved you, why did you bite it?"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Li Qingyan belatedly spat out the horsehair in her mouth, "What a stupid horse."

Li Yan flicked her head, "Little brat, you're not allowed to swear... horse."

Li Yan sat on a rock, holding Li Qingyan in his arms, listening to the little one in his arms complain about how Wuhen had treated her earlier.

Before they could exchange more than a few words, Wuhen walked over and snorted at Li Qingyan, looking like he was cursing her. The two of them then started snorting back and forth.

Yan Xu picked up the cloak from the side, put it away, and placed it on the horse's back.

Seeing Li Qingyan still arguing with Wuhen, he chuckled, walked over, and picked her up. "Little Princess, are you going to bite it again?"

His words were laced with teasing.
