On that day, the King of Shu had someone inform the Duke of National Defense that as long as he and the Former Empress were in love, he would grant them marriage, but they must never force the Former Empress.0

The King of Shu carefully remembered the teachings of the fairy child in his dream, "To share weal and woe, to be in love, what's wrong with that?"0

The implication was that without feelings, it would be absolutely impossible.0

The King of Shu now had complete faith in the fairy child from his dream.0

Not only was the memorial submitted by the chancellor exactly what the fairy child had told him in his dream the night before.0

Another more frightening thing was that he had never been to the capital of Jing Country, but the image of the city gate of Jing Country's capital that the fairy child showed him in the dream was identical to the painting of Jing Country he found after waking up.0

This proved that the fairy child had truly descended into his dream!0

It wasn't something he had imagined himself.0

The King of Shu thought of the displeased look on the fairy child's face in the dream and felt a chill run down his spine, "Someone, summon the envoy immediately to go to Jing Country and apologize!"0

...0

In Jing Country, the Little Princess's first birthday feast was celebrated nationwide.0

Not only did The Emperor Xiao Yunzhou, the Empress Dowager, and all the civil and military officials prepare gifts for the Little Princess, but even Zhou Xing, Wu Yun, Chu State, and Shu Kingdom sent envoys to congratulate the Little Princess.0

These envoys were also quite high-ranking.0

The semi-retired King of Chu, having handed over state affairs to Princess Yunwu, had been lingering in Jing Country and hadn't left, just in time to participate in the first birthday feast.0

Similarly, King Zhou Ling had also come, leaving the Crown Prince to oversee state affairs, and he came to Jing Country to hear the unfinished story of "The First Immortal Lord."0

There was also Khan Wu Yun, who called Xiao Yunzhou his brother, who had also come from afar.0

The King of Shu from Shu Kingdom, disguised himself, intending to pose as an ordinary envoy, but upon seeing the four kings gathered together, his back was almost soaked with sweat.0

"Jing has an immeasurable future," said the King of Shu. His words and actions were recorded by the accompanying attendant, to be included in the future history of Shu Kingdom.0

"My elder brother's previous attack on Jing was extremely unwise."0

"Our Shu Kingdom should join with all countries to create a peaceful and harmonious world."0

The alliance of five countries, the joint efforts of five kings, was unbreakable.0

"Where's the Little Princess? It's time for her to pick objects for her future," Xiao Yunzhou didn't have much mood to exchange pleasantries with the kings of various countries today.0

On the Little Princess's birthday, he only thought about his fairy-like daughter.0

Xiao Yunzhou had just been distracted by the King of Chu for a moment, and when he turned his head and couldn't see the Little Princess, he anxiously looked for his daughter.0

Except for the King of Shu, the other kings were used to his doting behavior towards his daughter.0

Only the King of Shu was curious about Xiao Yunzhou's beloved young daughter. He had thought it was because the girl's mother was noble, and wanted to see how beautiful the Little Princess's birth mother was. But when he saw Concubine Liu come out holding the adorable Little Princess in a pink jacket, he was stunned.0

The young girl in this beautiful woman's arms had eyebrows and eyes like a painting, red lips and white teeth, delicate features, and seemed somehow familiar.0

The King of Shu almost impulsively fell to his knees!0

This... this Little Princess of Jing Country looked a bit like the fairy child in his dream!0

Except that the fairy child in the dream was five or six years old, while this Little Princess of Jing Country was just one year old!0

The King of Shu opened his mouth, unable to utter a word for a long time.0

Until he heard the King of Chu say beside him, "Xiao Yunzhou, is your Little Princess blessed with a fortunate fate? Since her birth, Jing Country has been prospering day by day, and the entire country's atmosphere has changed anew."0

The King of Shu heard this and felt as if he had been enlightened!0

A fortunate fate... With eyes similar to the fairy child in his dream, wasn't this indeed a great fortunate fate!0

"I didn't bring any valuable items, but this jade pendant with dragon and phoenix designs was given to me by my grandfather. Today, I will pass it on to the Little Princess."0

The King of Shu pushed aside the King of Chu next to him, disregarding etiquette, and took off the precious jade pendant he had worn for many years to give to Xiao Chuchu.0

[Huh?]0

[Oh my, did the King of Shu recognize me?]0

Xiao Chuchu, in Liu Chaniang's arms, blinked at the excited King of Shu.0

[Fortunately, when I entered the dream, I added quite a few beauty filters to myself, so the King of Shu probably just thinks I look similar.]0

Xiao Chuchu blinked her almond eyes at the King of Shu, and the King of Shu felt his heart melt.0

The fairy child... no, the fortunate child who resembled the fairy child, had looked at him.0

The King of Shu became excited at once, "May I hold the Little Princess?"0

"No, you may not." Xiao Yunzhou rolled his eyes and kept him at a distance.0

"..." The King of Shu was speechless.0

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, "It's time for her to pick objects for her future, please." What a joke, trying to steal his daughter, dream on!0

Xiao Yunzhou took Xiao Chuchu from Liu Chaniang's arms, avoiding the intense gazes of the King of Shu, King of Chu, and others, and finally placed Chuchu on the silk-covered long couch for the object-picking ceremony.0

On this couch were precious items sent by civil and military officials, such as Chancellor Fu Cha, the Top Scorer of the Imperial Examination, the Duke of Dingguo, and the Imperial Academy of Medicine, including official seals, writing brushes, ink stones, and inksticks.0

There were also some items from the imperial harem, such as books, wooden swords, needlework, and rouge sent by the Empress Dowager, the Fifth Prince, and the Eldest Prince.0

There were also exquisite clothes and jade horses sent by neighboring countries.0

Xiao Yunzhou smiled and patted his daughter's head, "Pick whatever you like."0

Xiao Chuchu looked at him, then at Liu Chaniang and her Fifth Brother the Crown Prince, and then glanced around at the officials, hesitating.0

[Who put that first-rank official seal there? I don't want to be an official, it's too tiring.]0

[Brush, ink, inkstone, and paper... Well, I've had enough of nine years of compulsory education and college entrance exams. I don't want to take the imperial exams again, nor do I want to study for another nine years.]0

Xiao Chuchu looked along the items, rejecting each one.0

[Practicing martial arts with a wooden sword would hurt my hands.]0

[I'm not good at needlework and embroidery, it tires my eyes.]0

[This rouge isn't as good as modern cosmetics. It's just average.]0

[I already have clothes, and I don't want to pick the little horse either.]0

Xiao Chuchu crawled along, and suddenly there was one item she wanted to pick.0

The spectators at the first birthday feast went from watching for fun to becoming nervous.0

"This jade comb is nice, come to your royal grandmother, dear~" The Empress Dowager was anxious. She didn't expect the Little Princess to excel in both civil and military affairs, but she couldn't not pick anything at all.0

After all, this object-picking ceremony was a good omen.0

"There's also this little spinning wheel, look~ Come to your royal grandmother and take it, alright?"0

Xiao Chuchu glanced at it and then turned her head away.0

The Empress Dowager broke out in a cold sweat, and the surrounding spectators became nervous.0

Xiao Yunzhou, who could hear his daughter's thoughts, was even more worried. His daughter didn't like anything, what should they do?0

But just when everyone thought the object-picking ceremony was going to fail and they were preparing to think of an auspicious phrase to get through it, Xiao Chuchu stopped.0

She stopped in front of a small golden bowl.0

[I've already collected almost all of the 108 elite profiles.]0

[Talented people who are favorable to our Jing Country are spread across the five countries.]0

[If everyone works together to govern the world, how can the world not be at peace?]0

[I've exchanged so much modern technology, everyone's lives will become more and more prosperous.]0

[My Fifth Brother will ascend to the throne in the future and take care of me, there won't be any problems.]0

[It's time for me to retire.]0

Xiao Yunzhou listened to his daughter's words and his eyes widened.0

What?0

Retire?0

She's only one year old... Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched.0

But he couldn't argue.0

Yes, his fairy-like daughter had already done so much, should the world continue to rely on her, a young child?0

Did they, the five kings, crown princes, princesses, officials, and common people of the five countries, not have any ability themselves?0

Xiao Yunzhou saw Chuchu with a face of contentment, hugging the small golden bowl in her arms, about to lie down—0

Xiao Yunzhou finally smiled and said, "Good!"0

"Our Little Princess has picked the small golden bowl."0

"Blessings accumulated in the previous life, a life without worries in this one!"0

"May Jing Country be peaceful and prosperous, with fine clothes and good food for all!"0

The King of Shu, King of Chu, and others exchanged glances, and laughed heartily along with the civil and military officials of Jing Country.0

"The Little Princess is a person of fortunate fate, born with a golden bowl in her arms!"0

"Henceforth, the world will surely enter an era of peace and prosperity!"1
