After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

“Can you really let me bring it up casually?

Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, your words are binding, you cannot go back on your word."

Tilting her head slightly and blinking playfully, Li Shiliu was wondering what kind of conditions she could propose to make the deal.

"You little fox, don't try to set a trap for me. I only told you to ask, but I didn't say I would definitely agree to it."

"Hmph, you're such a scoundrel..."

Li Shiliu pouted and rolled her eyes without any courtesy, which caused Emperor Jiade to burst into laughter.

Even though it was not the first time that the eunuch Li Chengen, who was standing nearby with his hands hanging down, had seen this, he was still amazed, and his opinion of Li Shiliu quietly rose a little.

The emperor has so many princes and princesses, but none of them can be as relaxed and at ease as Li Shiliu in front of the emperor, even for Aunt Shu's sake.

The chief eunuch Li Cheng'en had been following Emperor Jiade since he was a teenager, and he knew everything about Emperor Jiade. For so many years, Emperor Jiade sat on the highest dragon throne in the world, alone, and there were not many people he could truly trust. Li Shiliu was the only one who could make Emperor Jiade so truly trust her and yet be so relaxed.

Eighteen years ago, Emperor Jiade had not been in power for very long and did not have the control over the court as he does now. At that time, there was chaos in the court. Some important officials colluded with the Northern Qi Kingdom, stole the tiger talisman and military maps, and invaded the Da Chong Dynasty. The Grand Princess and Emperor Jiade almost lost their lives. Fortunately, Aunt Shu saved them with her own life, otherwise the Da Chong Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

Unfortunately, Aunt Shu's only daughter, Miss Li Shiliu, lost her mother when she was only three months old. She was adopted by the eldest princess, who had never married and had no children, and was treated as her own daughter.

After all, she was the child he had raised since childhood, and Emperor Jiade regarded Li Shiliu as half his own daughter, even caring about her more than ordinary princesses.

And if nothing unexpected happens, as the only adopted daughter of the Grand Princess whom Emperor Jiade trusts the most, Li Shiliu should be the Grand Princess's heir in the future, and it is even possible that this will include Tencent, which was founded by the Grand Princess.

The daughter of a powerful official in the court who is trusted by the emperor, her identity, status and strength have long surpassed those of an ordinary princess, and she is not subject to the various constraints of a princess. This is how Li Chengen positioned Li Shiliu.

However, seeing how naturally Li Shiliu and Emperor Jiade got along, Li Chengen, who had spent the longest time with Emperor Jiade, felt that he had underestimated Li Shiliu.

Another person who also felt that he had underestimated Li Shiliu was Nanyang Yao, who had been silently acting as an invisible man.

I never thought that the future Lady Yueguogong, Li Shiliu, and Emperor Jiade would get along like this.

It was not like the emperor treating his courtiers, nor was it like the emperor treating the young lady of a big family. How should I put it? It was more like the interaction between a trusted elder and a favored younger generation. They were so confident that even the eye rolls were so fresh and unpretentious, without any affectation.

It seems that Li Shiliu is much more interesting than he sees, and she is worth spending more of his time and energy on.

Nanyang Yao, who felt that he could not see through Li Shiliu, had a great interest in a woman for the first time in these two lives. Nanyang Yao vaguely felt that if he wanted to avenge the Nan family's extermination, it might be much easier with Li Shiliu's help.
