5: The unpredictable Empress Sister! Arrangements for Princess Pingyang!

Li Shengyuan looked at his pitiful younger sister and said angrily,

“How can you still complain about your palm being hit? Wasn't it you who instigated your classmates to burn the teacher's books and beard a few days ago, making me apologize to the teacher repeatedly!”

The Empress Master Sister smiled, and Princess Pingyang burst out laughing.

Seeing the Empress Master Sister look over, she quickly sat up straight, her expression solemn, putting on a dignified and virtuous appearance.

However, the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.

The Empress Master Sister gently stroked Li Ruotang's hair with soft eyes, and seeing her shy and embarrassed look, she gently said,

“You must study hard at the Academy and become like your Big Brother in the future. You can't be naughty, understand?”

Li Ruotang raised her small face and looked at the Empress Master Sister, saying seriously,

“Mm-hmm, Ruotang will definitely work hard to study and then become as amazing as Big Brother and His Majesty Imperial Sister!”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately tensed. Li Shengyuan and Princess Pingyang both cautiously observed the Empress's expression.

To become like her...

Doesn't that mean becoming the Emperor?

This kind of joke cannot be said carelessly.

The Empress Master Sister listened to Li Ruotang's words and smiled charmingly, saying,

“Then Ruotang must work hard. It's very tiring to become like Imperial Sister.”

It was as if she regarded Li Ruotang's words as innocent childish talk, or simply didn't take them seriously at all.

“Mm-hmm.” Li Ruotang nodded with a smile.

Then, touching her little belly, she smiled shyly and said, “His Majesty Imperial Sister, Ruotang hasn't had dinner yet. When are we going to eat?!”

“Since Ruotang is hungry, let's have them serve the dishes now!”

The Empress Master Sister smiled and instructed the black-robed maid Zhixuan. Soon, maids brought various delicacies to their table.

“Junior Brother, Princess Pingyang, let's all start eating. We can chat while we eat.”

After speaking, she smiled and began talking with Li Ruotang, occasionally serving her food.

Li Shengyuan looked at the Empress Master Sister's gentle expression. He was now somewhat unable to fathom the Empress Master Sister's thoughts.

He wondered when the smile on her face was real and when it was fake...

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, those who become Emperors are truly not ordinary people...

Then, his heart stirred. It was a good time to check the Empress Master Sister's entries.

[White Entry: None]

Li Shengyuan: ???

The Empress Master Sister didn't even have a single ordinary point about her?

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but look at the Empress Master Sister with a surprised expression.

But he quickly understood. The Empress Master Sister was indeed a perfect person!

Her talent was strong. Although she was only seven years older than Li Shengyuan, the Empress Master Sister was already a High-Grade expert. Even Li Shengyuan now found it difficult to fathom her strength.

Her appearance was like a celestial immortal; otherwise, Li Shengyuan wouldn't have used those few poems to describe her.

Being able to firmly sit on the throne for seven years, her methods and luck were self-evident!

The entire luck of Great Gan was carried on her. Which Son of Luck could have stronger luck than her?

At this moment, the Empress Master Sister also noticed Li Shengyuan's surprised gaze. She couldn't help but look up at him and asked curiously,

“Junior Brother, why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”

Li Shengyuan smiled slightly and said, “It's nothing. I was just watching Imperial Sister serve Ruotang food and it reminded me of some past memories.”

The Empress Master Sister nodded gently, and then, under Li Shengyuan's surprised gaze, she directly picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Li Shengyuan's bowl, smiling gently,

“This is seven-colored elk meat from the Western Regions. It's rich in vital energy and good for your cultivation. Eat quickly.”

Li Shengyuan looked at the Empress Master Sister's gentle appearance and couldn't help but feel a moment of daze. Then he quickly thanked her,

“Thank you, Imperial Sister.”

Then the Empress Master Sister picked up another piece of seven-colored elk meat and placed it in the bowl of her eagerly anticipating younger sister, Princess Pingyang.

Upon receiving the Empress Imperial Sister's reward, Princess Pingyang immediately beamed with joy and, like Li Shengyuan, quickly expressed her thanks.

After wiping Li Ruotang's greasy mouth with a handkerchief, the Empress Master Sister smiled at Li Shengyuan and said,

“Junior Brother, actually, Imperial Sister has one more matter to ask of you today.”

Upon hearing this, Li Shengyuan quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and said seriously, “Imperial Sister, please speak.”

The Empress, however, reached out and held her younger sister Princess Pingyang's hand, saying softly,

“In a blink of an eye, Princess Pingyang has also grown up. She is now eighteen and will soon graduate from Black White Academy.”

“My mother and I originally wanted her to learn some music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and needlework, then find a good family and arrange a marriage for her.”

“But who would have thought this girl would be so keen on cultivation and learning various Dao methods.” A hint of helplessness appeared on the Empress Master Sister's face.

Princess Pingyang, upon hearing this, smiled playfully, “Although I also like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Dao methods are still more suitable for me.”

The Empress Master Sister dotingly flicked her delicate nose, then looked at Li Shengyuan and said seriously,

“Since she likes it, Mother and I won't force her. After much thought, I think the Demon Suppression Division is more suitable for her.”

Li Shengyuan was stunned, “Demon Suppression Division?”

“But the work of the Demon Suppression Division is very hard on weekdays. If you really want the Princess to gain experience, she could go to other yamen. For example, the Imperial Observatory is very suitable for the Princess.”

The Demon Suppression Division is in charge of slaying demons and monsters. When demons and ghosts cause trouble in various parts of Great Gan, they need to quell the rebellion.

Although Li Shengyuan was in the capital, he sometimes had to travel to various parts of the country, but there were also many opportunities to earn merits.

The work of the Imperial Observatory was much simpler. On weekdays, they would just refine pills and artifacts, invent some daily necessities, and improve the lives of the common people.

The black silk worn by the Joyous Union Sect demoness Liu Ruyan was introduced by Li Shengyuan. The product sold out soon after its release, which also brought Li Shengyuan a windfall, with a considerable share of income every month...

Although Great Gan had silk gauze clothes and skirts, various types of silk stockings were invented by Li Shengyuan.

As for observing celestial phenomena and formulating calendars, these were not something that the lower-level members of the Imperial Observatory could participate in.

However, the Empress Master Sister shook her head slightly and said, “I value you, Junior Brother!”

“Me?” Li Shengyuan was somewhat surprised for a moment.

At this moment, Princess Pingyang also looked up at Li Shengyuan with an expectant expression.

After a moment of stunned, Li Shengyuan quickly came back to his senses and said,

“Imperial Sister, do you want the Princess to follow me for a period of time?”

Upon hearing this, the Empress Master Sister also showed a faint smile and nodded,

“That's right!”

“Princess Pingyang gaining experience with you, with you taking care of her, I am very relieved, and she is willing to do this!”

Li Shengyuan looked at Princess Pingyang, who was full of anticipation. When their eyes met, Princess Pingyang lowered her head shyly, a blush appearing on her exquisite and flawless jade face.

“Alright, since Imperial Sister and the Princess trust me so much, then I will do as Imperial Sister says!”

The Empress Master Sister smiled contentedly, looked at Princess Pingyang, and instructed, “Princess Pingyang, then starting tomorrow, you will follow Shengyuan. You must listen to him and study hard with him, understand?”

“Yes, I will, Imperial Sister.” Princess Pingyang nodded repeatedly.

Then she secretly looked at Li Shengyuan with eyes full of anticipation, but quickly moved her gaze away, afraid of being discovered.

After this matter was discussed, the Empress Master Sister looked at Li Shengyuan with a solemn and serious expression and asked,

“Junior Brother, a High-Grade demonic cultivator appeared outside the capital's outer city this afternoon. After you fought him, what are your thoughts?!”
