The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

Ling Jinhan led the way in front with brisk steps, as if the delicious food in the reception building was already beckoning to them.

Just as he raised his foot to step over the threshold, Ling Chenyu's voice came from behind him.

"Fourth brother, wait a minute."

Ling Chenyu shouted, his voice was firm and anxious. He took Liu Yaoyao's hand, and they walked side by side to Ling Jinhan.

"Fourth brother, Yaoyao and I just came back from Nanyang and brought some local specialties to Father. Also, I haven't seen Father for a long time, so I want to pay my respects to him first when I come back this time. As for the banquet, we can have it anytime, there's no rush."

Ling Chenyu said with a smile, his words revealing his longing for his father and his indifference towards the banquet.

Ling Jinhan's heart skipped a beat. He had originally wanted to use this banquet as an opportunity to get closer to Ling Chenyu, but he didn't expect Ling Chenyu to suggest going to pay a visit to the emperor first.

His eyes rolled around, and he was thinking about how to persuade Ling Chenyu.

However, he searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable excuse, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

"Ninth brother is right. I was not thoughtful enough." Ling Jinhan said with a wry smile, but in his heart he was secretly cursing himself for his mistake.

Ling Jinhan's concession did not please everyone.

Seeing this, Liu Jingshu immediately stepped forward and blocked Liu Yaoyao's way.

She put her hands on her hips, looking like a spoiled little girl.

She glared at Liu Yaoyao and said, "Sister, Prince Chen is going to pay his respects to the Emperor, and there is no need for you, a woman, to follow him. Why don't you stay and wait for your brother-in-law while enjoying the banquet?"

Liu Yaoyao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Liu Jingshu's smug look.

She shook her head gently and said, "Sister, you misunderstood. I am not going to go with him to pay respect to the emperor, but to go with Chen Yu. We are husband and wife of the same mind, so naturally we should pay respect to our father together."

Liu Jingshu suddenly became so angry that her face turned red.

She didn't expect Liu Yaoyao to refute her so directly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Ling Jinhan hurried forward to smooth things over, but in his heart he was secretly glad that he had not offended the couple.

Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao left the reception building side by side, like a pair of immortal lovers, floating out and heading towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Behind the two of them, Ling Jinhan and Liu Jingshu's gazes were like two sharp arrows, shooting straight at their backs, but they had no choice but to watch them walk away.

The group arrived outside the Qianqing Palace unhindered. The solemn and dignified palace seemed to be telling them of the royal majesty.

Eunuch Yu hurried forward to report, and then the two of them stepped into the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as they entered the door, they knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live father!" Their voices were loud and echoed in the palace.

However, the old emperor who was high above did not seem to be in a hurry to respond to them. He kept them in suspense for a long time, as if he was watching a good show.

Finally, when the two of them were almost unable to hold on, the old emperor slowly spoke, personally stepped down from his seat and helped Ling Chenyu up.

"Yu'er, you've suffered a lot these years." The old emperor's voice was filled with emotion and kindness.

Ling Chenyu bowed and said quickly, "I dare not."

His voice was humble and respectful, but his eyes gleamed with determination.

"Is your leg completely healed?" The old emperor looked at Ling Chenyu with satisfaction in his eyes, "Good, good, our country has someone to defend its territory."

Ling Chenyu smiled and said, "Father, my leg is not fully healed yet. When I prayed at Dayanzi Mountain for good weather and prosperity in Ling Kingdom and longevity for you, the gods saw my sincerity and gave me this bottle of magic water. I thought my leg was just like that and I didn't need this magic water, so I brought it back to you, and I hope you will live forever."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of crystal clear liquid from his arms, raised it above his head, and presented it respectfully to the old emperor.

Liu Yaoyao stood aside, looking at Ling Chenyu's serious expression, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: This Zixi is getting better and better at talking.

The old emperor took the bottle of magic water and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth, and it was too late for Eunuch Yu to stop him when he saw this.

After drinking a bottle of water, the old emperor felt a warm current flowing through his body. The heaviness in his body seemed to have dissipated a lot in an instant, and he became refreshed.

"It's worthy of being called the magic water!" the old emperor exclaimed, "Where is the god? Is there any other explanation?"

He excitedly grabbed Ling Chenyu's hand and squeezed it tightly, seemingly unaware of how much strength he was using.

Ling Chenyu smiled slightly and said, "God is everywhere between heaven and earth. As for the other instructions... God said that Father is the true dragon emperor destined by heaven. As long as he cares about the people, he will be blessed with a long life."

The old emperor was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Good! Good! I will remember God's instructions and live up to Heaven's will!"

Liu Yaoyao, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but laugh in her heart: This Ling Chenyu is getting better and better at acting.

However, this can be regarded as a sword hanging over the old emperor's head.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly cast an admiring look at Ling Chenyu.

"Well, well, well, our Ling Kingdom is blessed by the gods, so there is no need to worry about not being prosperous! Come here, there will be a huge reward!"

The old emperor smiled from ear to ear, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out by joy. He looked several years younger, and his whole body was radiant, as if he had returned to the glory of his youth.

Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao stood aside, looking at the old emperor's cheerful face, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

This time they came back to meet the emperor and it was considered a smooth journey.

"Thank you, Father." Ling Chenyu bowed respectfully, and then took the opportunity to say, "Father, this is my wife, Liu Yaoyao. She is virtuous, smart and capable, and is a good match for me. I want to give her a jade butterfly and officially become the Princess of Chen. Please grant me your permission."

As he spoke, Ling Chenyu pulled Liu Yaoyao down to kneel together. The two of them knelt side by side, looking particularly well-matched.

The old emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked Liu Yaoyao up and down and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, she is a good woman. Since you are Yu'er's wife, you should have a title. Come, prepare the jade butterfly and enthrone Liu Yaoyao as the princess of my Ling Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yu on the side hurriedly responded and stepped back to prepare the jade butterfly and the enthronement ceremony.

Liu Yaoyao was overjoyed when she heard this. She didn't expect Ling Chenyu to ask her to have Jade Butterfly at this time, and she didn't expect the old emperor to agree so readily.

She was filled with gratitude, and her eyes turned even softer when she looked at Ling Chenyu.

Seeing this, Ling Chenyu felt proud.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor asked: "Can you still find the gods?"
