Wan'er smiled indulgently, but a hint of majesty flashed in her eyes as she said, "Summon General Lu Feng." Little Taiping smiled excitedly, knowing that her mother doted on her.
Lu Feng arrived shortly after, still dressed in civilian clothes, clearly having not had time to change into court attire. "Don't present Lu Feng to His Majesty," Wan'er said with a wave of her wide sleeves. "My dear minister, there's no need for such formalities. May I ask how your investigation is progressing?"
Lu Feng, standing below the main hall, revealed a joyful expression, his voice somewhat excited, "Your Majesty, under Your Majesty's rule, the people live in peace and prosperity, there is no theft or robbery, and there are no more beggars." The main hall erupted in commotion, everyone excited and happy about this.
Wan'er's lips curled up, already knowing what was going on. She looked at Little Taiping and asked, "What does Taiping want from her mother?" Little Taiping smiled innocently and ran like the wind to Lu Feng, hugging his leg and saying, "Mother, Taiping wants Lu Feng to be her Crown Princess." As soon as she finished speaking, the court, which had been filled with joy, became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Wan'er's smile deepened as she looked at Yunnuo on the Empress's throne. Yunnuo smiled knowingly and nodded to Wan'er. They had already figured this out and discussed it with Jin Fan, who had agreed. He was currently taking care of his youngest son and had no time for Taiping. Besides, Taiping wasn't a child in his eyes.
Wan'er smiled as she looked at Little Princess Taiping, noticing the expectant look in Little Princess Taiping's eyes and Lu Feng's petrified expression. Wan'er said excitedly, "Granted." Then she stood up and said, "Court adjourned. I hope all my beloved ministers will enjoy good health in the future." The ministers bowed and said, "Your Majesty is too kind to us. We respectfully see Your Majesty off."
And so, Lu Feng was nominally Taiping's man, and thus remained unmarried. He too was waiting, waiting for the day Taiping grew up. Lu Feng shook his head slightly, saying, "If I leave without saying goodbye, His Majesty will be angry." Taiping reached out and grasped Lu Feng's hand, saying, "I've already left a letter for Mother. I believe Mother also hopes I'll go out and gain some experience." Lu Feng wanted to say, "But..." Wan'er interrupted, "No buts!" Saying this, she took Lu Feng's hand and ran outside.
"Sister, where are we going?" A similarly innocent and childlike voice rang out, and a small, thin figure blocked Little Taiping's path. Little Taiping looked at the child in front of her and said, "Lan'er, why aren't you studying? What are you doing here?" The little girl named Lan'er had her silver hair casually scattered around her side, and her delicate face was like a fairy, yet also like a goddess—indescribably beautiful. She was only three years old, yet already so devastatingly beautiful; if she grew up, what would she be like? It was unimaginable. (I'm sure you all know whose child this is. Promised.)
Lan'er's large, peony-like eyes flashed with a shrewd light, but her face maintained a naive and obedient expression as she said, "Sister, we'll encounter danger this time we go out." Taiping was slightly taken aback and looked at Lan'er, asking, "What kind of danger?" Don't let this little one's seemingly innocent appearance fool you; she's actually incredibly shrewd. Even more unbelievable is that Lan'er can see the future and the past. Moreover, she's a genius among geniuses. She doesn't need to study at all.
Lan'er chuckled and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed." Then, with a sweet smile, she added, "However, the ending will be good." With that, Lan'er ran away from Taiping, waving the envelope in her hand. "Sister, go and gain experience! I'll give this letter to Mother." She then ran off with an innocent smile. (Good heavens, when did she take the letter from Taiping? Wan'er's child is truly extraordinary.)
As for Taiping, after hearing Lan'er's first sentence, he really wanted to beat her up, but after hearing the last sentence that the ending was good, Taiping felt relieved. Then, disregarding Lu Feng's objections, he insisted on dragging Lu Feng away.
(Taiping's adventure begins, hehe, slyly laughing. But Xiaobing also really wants to write about Lan'er. Alas, greed never ends well.)
Little Taiping's Carefree Life 002
In the elegant and majestic hall, Wan'er, dressed in white, sat gracefully in the main seat, sipping fine tea. Beside her sat her seven men, each gazing at her with deep affection and doting eyes. It seemed they were hopelessly infatuated.
"Mother, Father, Daddies." A childish voice rang out, and a white figure flashed by. The petite body rushed into Wan'er's arms. Wan'er shook her head affectionately and put down the tea in her hand. She gently stroked the little one's silver hair and said, "Lan'er, you're being spoiled again."
Lan'er raised her stunningly beautiful face and innocently said, "Mother, Lan'er didn't mean that. Besides, Lan'er is still young, so of course she needs her parents' love." Hearing Lan'er's words, Wan'er and the seven handsome men smiled indulgently. Yunnuo took Lan'er's little hand and asked, "Where did you go?" Lan'er smiled sweetly and took out a letter from her bosom. "Mother, my sister went away to gain experience. This is a letter she left for you. She also took General Lu Feng with her when she left." Wan'er and the others were not in a hurry. They all looked like they understood.
Lan'er chuckled and handed the letter to Wan'er. Wan'er took the letter from Lan'er, opened it, and smiled. "It's alright, it's time for her to see this new world." She then looked at Lan'er, stroking her silver hair, and asked, "When are you setting sail, Lan'er?" Lan'er smiled sweetly, sticking out her delicate little tongue, looking incredibly cute. "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Mother. Even I, who can know the past and future, can't understand Mother." Wan'er affectionately tapped Lan'er's little nose, saying, "Naughty girl, don't try to change the subject."
Lan'er's face immediately fell. "I knew it! I always lose. Oh well. It's not time yet." As she finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in Lan'er's peony-like eyes, so quick it was almost imperceptible. But could it escape Wan'er's notice? The answer was no. Wan'er and Yunnuo exchanged a glance, both seeing a smile in each other's eyes.
On the bustling street, Wan'er's glorious history was widely circulated.
A six-year-old girl with an alluring, otherworldly beauty walked down the street. Though only six, she already captivated everyone's hearts. Behind her followed a large block of ice—no, to be precise, a strikingly handsome block of ice. These two were Taiping and Lu Feng.
Taiping was very curious about everything ancient. Although she often acted in period dramas in modern times, none of them were as realistic as the real thing. Now, she could experience ancient life firsthand. "Little Fengfeng, I want to eat that!" Taiping, like a little child, pointed to the pastry stall not far ahead, looking at Lu Feng with pleading eyes. Lu Feng said helplessly, "Taiping, wait for me here, don't run around." Little Taiping obediently nodded. Only then did Lu Feng feel relieved enough to buy Taiping the pastries.
Little Princess Taiping looked around, and those who knew her would exclaim in surprise, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Those who didn't might think she was a country bumpkin. However, judging from her clothes, she was clearly rich and noble, so no one dared to underestimate her.
Suddenly, Taiping stopped looking around. Watching a black figure flash by, a smile curved her pink lips. She glanced at Lu Feng in the distance, then used her light footwork to dash swiftly towards the woods ahead. A figure followed closely behind.
Lu Feng, who was buying pastries by the roadside, saw two figures flash by, and alarm bells rang in his mind. 'Oh no, Taiping.' Without thinking twice, he followed. The pastry vendor was in for a rough time. "Sigh, your pastries," the vendor muttered to himself, watching Lu Feng's disappearing figure. "These young people nowadays are so arrogant. They give you money but don't take the pastries, deliberately looking down on us. Don't they know that the people of our Hundred Flowers Kingdom are poor?" Oh dear, Lu Feng, your image is completely shattered. You're supposed to be a great general of a nation!
Taiping moved with incredible speed, his feet barely touching the ground. He stopped deep within the forest, saying, "I never imagined there were people in this world who could keep up with my lightness skill. Unbelievable!" (Of course there are. Your mother is no pushover, and what about your brothers and sisters? Do you think they aren't Wan'er's children? Although you are the Grim Reaper, your power hasn't fully recovered yet.)
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black landed and said, "Not at all, not at all. How could I dare to compare with your skill?" Taiping coldly smiled and said, "Who sent you to assassinate me?" The man in black smiled and said, "Kill me if you want." Taiping narrowed his phoenix eyes and turned to look at the man in black, looking him up and down and said, "I am the Crown Prince of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom."
The man sneered contemptuously, "I'm going to kill the Crown Prince of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom." With that, he drew his sword, his attack as swift, ruthless, and precise as lightning. Taiping dodged the man's sword with a quick turn, her voice suddenly turning icy as she said, "I'll give you one last chance. Who sent you?" The man coldly smiled, "As expected of the Empress's daughter, your aura is extraordinary. But so what?" With that, he spun around, quickly appearing beside Taiping and thrusting his sword at her.
Taiping's nimble little feet landed on the man's sword, she flipped backward and spun around. She landed gracefully and said, "Your skill is truly impressive. Today, let me, Taiping, have a good spar with you."
I'm so excited! Since coming to this world, besides fighting that old man Liu Yun, I've also fought Wanluo's father, though he always loses. (Wanluo, your lifelong reputation is ruined. And you didn't even want Wan'er to know that your son betrayed you years ago.) I begged Yunluo's father to spar with me, but he always said, "Wait until I'm strong enough." I really don't understand. (Even your mother can't beat Yunluo, if you can, I'll become your disciple.) But this time, I'm really interested.
The man in black, his face veiled, obscuring his features and expression, said, "It's my honor." Well, wouldn't it be an even greater honor for you to assassinate Taiping? With that, the man leaped into the air, his toes barely touching the ground. He channeled his energy into his palm, striking the sword directly at Taiping.
A serious look flashed in Taiping's eyes. This man was not easy to deal with; his skill was... truly a monster. Taiping channeled all his energy, touched a tree beside him with his toes, spun around, and landed on the sword. "Wow, haha, not bad, not bad. I can also experience the feeling of flying on a sword."
Incredulity flashed in the black-clad man's eyes; he had used all his strength! Taiping stood on the sword, and just as the sword flew back, with lightning speed, Taiping reached out and removed the man's veil. "You…"
(Dear friends, Xiaobing is currently preparing a new book. It will be published soon! Hehe, please support it when it's released.)
Little Taiping's Carefree Life 003
Little Taiping's Carefree Life 003 Taiping stood on the sword, and just as the sword flew back, in the blink of an eye, Taiping reached out and removed the man's veil at a speed invisible to others. "You..." Taiping was stunned. This face... it's just too damn handsome!
The man in black had long, glossy black hair, cascading down his back unbound, smooth and flowing like the finest silk. Beneath delicate, almost feminine eyebrows were a pair of captivating, black tulip-shaped eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, adding to his alluring charm. His lips were slightly pursed, a half-smile playing on his lips. His skin was as white as snow, seemingly radiating a silvery glow. "What? Your Highness, are you moved?" the man said, pulling the stunned Princess Taiping into his arms. "Then marry me and take me back to the palace." As he spoke, a glint of cunning flashed in his beautiful eyes.
Taiping looked up at the man, unable to resist his tall stature. Unwilling to admit defeat, she smirked and said, "Fine, marrying you to assassinate my mother? No way!" The man, displeased, asked, "Then, what does Your Highness think of Yu Fan?" Taiping raised an eyebrow. "Yu Fan?" The man smiled slightly, his beauty breathtaking. "Indeed, that's my name."
Taiping was surprised. Such a dangerous person, married with such a sacred name—what a waste! Taiping pushed aside Yu Fan, who was several centimeters taller than her, and lightly touched the ground, floating into the air. She naturally saw the surprise and wariness in the man's eyes. Taiping's interest was piqued. Her delicate hand caressed Yu Fan's face, and she lifted the man's chin, saying, "Truly a face as beautiful as a flower, a beauty. It's a pity this prince has no romantic inclinations."
One sentence completely enraged Yu Fan. 'What? A beauty?' A murderous glint flashed in Yu Fan's eyes. Seeing the situation was dire, Taiping acted with lightning speed, striking Yu Fan's pressure points. Not forgetting to take advantage of the handsome man, Taiping's small hands roamed over Yu Fan's body and face, touching him here and there. The little beauty Yu Fan was so angry his eyes were practically bulging.
At that moment, Lu Feng sensed it too. He rushed over and hugged Xiaoping tightly. "Taiping, are you hurt anywhere? Honestly, how could you act on your own when I wasn't by your side?" Only now did he realize how much he cared for her. *What am I thinking? I'm just worried about the Crown Prince.* (o(︶︿︶)o Sigh, it turns out Lu Feng is a love idiot.) Lu Feng suppressed his negative emotions, looking at Taiping with concern. Even he himself didn't realize that his eyes were overflowing with tenderness.
Taiping was touched and cutely stuck out her little tongue, saying, "I'm sorry, little Fengfeng, I'll never let you worry again." Lu Feng raised his head slightly and said, "Just this once, understand?" Little Taiping nodded obediently.
Lu Feng then looked at the man standing to the side. When he saw the man's face, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Taiping and asked, "Is he the assassin from earlier?" Taiping nodded curiously. "Little Feng, why are you so surprised?" Taiping tilted his head, looking quite adorable. Lu Feng frowned and looked at Yu Fan, slowly saying, "The number one assassin in the martial world, the alluring young master Yu Fan."
Taiping paused slightly, carefully scrutinizing the handsome man before her. Yu Fan narrowed his eyes, examining Lu Feng intently. "Indeed, I am the Enchanting Young Master." Lu Feng smiled faintly. "I've long admired your name, but even so, His Highness's plans are not something you can easily achieve." Yu Fan snorted coldly. "You should know that my skill surpasses yours." Lu Feng said nonchalantly, "So what? You still lost to His Highness." "You..." Yu Fan's eyes reddened with anger, but he was powerless to move.
Taiping, standing to the side, flashed a cold glint in her eyes and said, "Charming young master? Your employer is quite mysterious, actually setting his sights on the throne of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom. What? You want to capture me, threaten my mother, and force her to abdicate in his favor? What a pipe dream." Yu Fan was slightly taken aback. As expected of the Crown Prince, his martial arts skills were already so advanced at such a young age, along with his sharp mind. And his appearance was truly captivating. Yu Fan curled his lips, a deep amusement flashing in his eyes.
Taiping didn't even bother to look at him, grabbing Lu Feng's hand and heading outside. Little did she know, after Taiping left, a petite white figure appeared, dressed in snow-white lotus robes, with flowing silver hair, large eyes like the peony, the queen of flowers, and skin as smooth as silk. She had delicate pink lips. Her beauty was breathtaking, her aura like that of a celestial goddess—no, even more beautiful than a goddess. And she was only a three-year-old girl.
Yu Fan was mesmerized. The girl floated in the air, turned around and sat on the tree branch. Her face was expressionless, and she slightly parted her pink lips and said, "I knew it. There would be danger. She's such a worrying older sister." As she spoke, the little girl noticed Yu Fan, who was frozen in place below, and said, "Hey."
Yu Fan was taken aback and asked, "And you are, young lady?" The girl smiled sweetly and said, "I am Yunlan, the younger sister of the person you were about to assassinate." Yu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, his body swaying, and he took a few steps back before realizing he could move again. He then looked at Lan'er and said, "You can go now. My target is not you, but the Crown Prince." Lan'er laughed upon hearing this.
With a twirl, Lan'er's small body floated in front of Yu Fan and said, "What an idiot! Even if you're willing to let your sister go, she won't let you go. One of my future brother-in-laws, I hope we can get along well in the future." As soon as she finished speaking, Lan'er's figure disappeared, leaving only her silvery giggles.
Yu Fan was completely confused and muttered to himself, "They're really two strange people. The older sister is like that, and the younger sister is even more hopeless." With that, he picked up the sword from the ground and chased after Taiping in the direction she had gone.
So, Taiping dragged Lu Feng along aimlessly for a while, only to complain, "Ah...where am I?" Taiping looked left and right, while Lu Feng behind her said helplessly, "Taiping, you've already made us circle around thirty times." Lu Feng's words only made Taiping angrier, "Oh dear, what do we do now?" Lu Feng walked to Taiping's side, stroking her hair, and said, "Don't worry, we'll find a way." With that, the two resumed their search for a way out.
Until Taiping called out anxiously, "Lu Feng, where are you?" the two of them finally found a different route, but the further they walked, the stranger it became; the fog grew thicker and thicker. Until Taiping called Lu Feng's name, but there was no answer. Where were they?
Little Taiping's Carefree Life 004
Little Taiping's Carefree Adventures 004 Taiping felt a mix of fear and anxiety. "Lu Feng, where are you?" Fearfully, Taiping ran forward, looking around. Everything was a white blur; she couldn't see anything. Suddenly, a place caught her eye—there was no fog there. Perhaps Lu Feng was there too. Thinking this, Little Taiping felt a great weight lifted from her heart. She ran towards it as fast as she could. But was it really as simple as she thought? The answer was no.
As Taiping stepped out of the fog, her small feet lurched forward, and there was no turning back. Taiping stared wide-eyed at the bottomless abyss. The wind whistled past her ears. Her small body drifted downwards. At that moment, she completely forgot she knew light-footed kung fu; her mind was a mess. "Lu Feng," she called out his name, a voice filled with both dependence and fear echoing from the bottom of the cliff, reverberating through the forest.
With a crackling sound of a branch snapping underfoot, Lu Feng looked around, the terrified cry of Taiping echoing in his ears, "Taiping!" Lu Feng's heart ached. He frantically looked around, but all he saw was a vast expanse of white. He ran, his heart filled with pain, worry, and self-reproach. "Taiping, Taiping, where are you? Come out! I promise, I promise to be your Crown Princess. Where are you?" Was it too late to realize his own heart now?
At the foot of the cliff, the mountains and waters were pristine, and the air was soft, transparent, clear, and moist. As dusk approached, the sun slowly sank into the thin clouds, becoming a bright red orb. A pink hue, even more delicate and tender than a chubby baby's cheek, appeared on the western horizon. The natural world was so beautiful at this moment: everywhere radiated bright sunlight, everywhere flaunted vibrant colors, everywhere echoed with melodious birdsong and insect chirps, everywhere wafted intoxicating fragrances. This was a world of green, an ocean of flowers.
In this earthly paradise, lay a little girl, breathtakingly beautiful like a porcelain doll. Her long eyelashes drooped, her delicate face smudged with dirt, her nose small, her lips translucent. Her clothes were somewhat tattered, and her hair was disheveled. She was truly an adorable little beauty. Yes, this little beauty was Taiping.
Beside Taiping stood a three-year-old girl, her beauty indescribable. Her silver hair flowed freely, and her peony-like eyes blinked adorably. Her breathtakingly beautiful face gazed innocently at Taiping on the ground. Then, she squatted down, reached out her delicate little hand, and poked Taiping's cheek, saying, "I say, sister, you're supposed to be a grim reaper, but you're so useless. You let me down at the crucial moment." With a slight sigh, she turned and vanished.
Taiping frowned slightly, opened her captivating phoenix eyes and looked around. "Ah, where is this? Uh..." Taiping reached out and covered her head. "My head hurts so much." Then she rubbed her head before starting to look around.
"So beautiful. I remember falling from the top, it must have been a bottomless cliff, but how come I only have these scrapes? That's strange." (Of course not, Lan'er saved you, of course you only have scrapes. Sigh, everyone, I really wanted to write about Lan'er, so I had her play this mysterious beauty. I hope you all like it.)
Taiping stood up, brushed the dirt off her clothes, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the air. "This is wonderful! This place is like heaven!" she exclaimed. Little Taiping then curiously walked deeper into the area, wondering what lay beyond. (Um, do you know how worried your Lu Feng is about you? He's worried sick!)
Taiping's curiosity always brought her benefits. There was a tree in front of her, a very peculiar one. From Taiping's angle, it looked like the Chinese character for "person" (人). How could there be a tree shaped like the character "person"? Moreover, this tree only bore one fruit, shaped like a baby, its entire body gleaming like a black gemstone. Taiping liked it at first sight.
Little Taiping swallowed hard, her little hand unconsciously rubbing her tummy. She'd been out for so long and hadn't eaten yet. "Even heaven has taken pity on me," she thought, before continuing on her way.
Reaching the tree, Taiping tiptoed and carefully plucked the black, gem-like fruit from the tree with her small hands. She stared intently at the fruit in her hand, to eat it or not to eat it? Eating it felt wasteful, but not eating it left her so hungry. Oh dear, what should she do?
Little Taiping was quite conflicted. A rumbling sound came from her stomach. Finally, Taiping decided to surrender. She couldn't go against her stomach no matter what. Little Taiping opened her tiny, translucent mouth and took a small bite. "Mmm, more," she murmured. She then disregarded everything else and began to eat heartily. If anyone saw this, they would surely faint. Such a beautiful Crown Prince, eating fruit without any decorum—where was the justice?
Taiping quickly devoured a small fruit. She rubbed her tummy; she was still so hungry. All her money was with Xiaofengfeng. Xiaofengfeng? Right, where was Xiaofengfeng? Oh no! Taiping anxiously looked around. She needed to quickly find a way to get to the top and find Lufeng, otherwise, she would be terrified. (How narcissistic of her!)
Taiping stood up anxiously, but perhaps because she had risen too abruptly, her head throbbed with pain. She felt as if her veins and bones were about to burst through her skin. "Ah, it hurts... that fruit, that fruit..." She couldn't utter any more words. Her small body was enveloped in black mist, and her once innocent face was no longer childlike. As the mist dissipated, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared. The clothes worn by a six-year-old were clearly no longer suitable for the body of this sixteen-year-old girl.
A cascade of black hair fell like a waterfall over the beauty's hips. Her clothes, clad in delicate fragments, clung tightly to her full, rounded breasts, revealing glimpses of them and stirring the imagination. Long, thick eyelashes and alluring, languid phoenix eyes resembled Wan'er. A high, delicate nose and translucent, tender lips. Her eyebrows were like autumn water, and her skin as smooth as jade in a gentle breeze. Beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. What an ethereal woman she was, untouched by worldly concerns!
(Oh, dear readers, if there are any shortcomings in this book, I hope you can give me your feedback. I will try my best to correct them.)
Little Taiping's Carefree Life 005
Little Taiping's Carefree Life 005 Taiping felt weak all over, and a chill ran down her spine. Taiping weakly lowered her head, and what came into view shocked her so much that her eyes widened. "What, what's going on? What happened? Did I transmigrate again? Impossible, that fruit, yes, that fruit is definitely problematic."
Taiping took a deep breath. Heavens, this is it, this is it. Wait. Taiping paused, as if remembering something. She took a step, her legs weak, as if all her strength had been drained. She walked feebly to the distant lake, her beautiful face reflected in the clear water. "Good, fantastic." Taiping looked at the beauty in the water. This was truly amazing, even better than herself in modern times.
