Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder! Chapter 352 - 18: Princess (18)

"Prince Lian, you need not count on Xiao Six. Though he is your brother, Prince Lian is selfish, lacks foresight, and can even sell you out for profit. Rember, do not trust Prince Lian."

"As for your other brothers, their relations with you are likely only superficial. Over the years, the Emperor has favored you greatly, which has sparked jealousy among the won of the harem. If their sons ascend to the throne, their difficulties towards you will surely intensify. The Emperor does not want you to endure such grievances. Xiao Six, the Emperor wants you to read these morials. Do you understand the Emperor’s intentions?"

The Emperor’s eyes glittered brilliantly, while Li Shuning felt a bit apprehensive. This Emperor, was he planning for her to beco the Emperor?

This truly made her feel unexpectedly flattered.

Since arriving in this world, she has consistently treated the Emperor sincerely. Of course, even with sincerity, it was perhaps expected in the Emperor’s eyes. Nonetheless, she did what she should, treating the Emperor like her own biological father. Unexpectedly, the Emperor trusted her so much.

To allow a woman to beco Emperor, her father’s courage was truly great.

However, Li Shuning was unwilling to be the Emperor; it was too tiring. She entered the Task World intending only to complete tasks well, then focus on her cultivation, and maybe live like a lazybones.

"Father, Xiao Six thinks you may be too extre in your thinking. My brothers shouldn’t be that way; after all, they are children of the Emperor, and with such a good father, they wouldn’t be too far off."

The Emperor sighed inwardly, realizing he had raised Xiao Six too well, too pure and kind.

"Father, let’s continue to observe; the Emperor is still young after all. Xiao Six is not afraid, Xiao Six has Father to protect him."

Undoubtedly, Li Shuning’s words were extrely considerate.

The Emperor thought for a mont before saying, "Xiao Six, you are still too kind-hearted, but the Emperor won’t force you. As long as the Emperor is here. However, considering your age, it’s ti you stop staying in Lanxin Hall; take so ti to go out."

From that day onward, the people serving Li Shuning would always take her to the Imperial Garden and other places to wander around.

On this day, Li Shuning brought a box of freshly made red date pastries and a pot of passion fruit tea, intending to deliver them to Qinzheng Hall.

According to Li Fu, recently, governntal affairs have been hectic and the Emperor hasn’t rested or eaten well for several days.

Li Shuning thought about it and decided she needed to show her concern.

Naturally, it was unsuitable for a palace maid to deliver them.

Li Shuning took her attendants and headed toward Qinzheng Hall.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Before reaching Qinzheng Hall, she encountered a young man.

The man exuded charisma, eagerly gazing at Li Shuning.

Li Shuning rely nodded and proceeded onward.

Chen Zijin felt sowhat disappointed; why couldn’t he present himself better? This was the Sixth Princess.

He hadn’t expected to encounter the Princess while preparing to leave the palace; the Princess was truly beautiful. It’s rumored that the Sixth Princess is choosing a husband; if...

"Father, no matter how busy you are, take good care of your health. This is made by Xiao Six himself; will you try it?"

The Emperor smiled, nodded, and ate a few pieces before returning to work. Li Shuning secretly gave Li Fu so instructions before leaving.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, the young man was still standing there.

Upon seeing Li Shuning, Chen Zijin’s eyes lit up, saluted again, and ntioned composing a poem for Li Shuning to appreciate.

Li Shuning looked at the man for a while, making Chen Zijin feel uneasy.

Li Shuning, having experienced many Task Worlds, understood the man’s intentions.

With a sneer, Li Shuning left, leaving Chen Zijin’s face sowhat pale.

Naturally, these episodes were also reported to the Emperor, who was displeased, telling Li Fu, "Originally, I thought the scholar was stable; unexpectedly, he’s so frivolous. My Xiao Six is not the type of girl who lacks discernnt. If she were easily swayed, she wouldn’t be my Xiao Six. Does he think a princess lacks vision?"

Evidently, the scholar intended to climb high but not only failed; his impression on the Emperor worsened significantly.

Not long after, the scholar was assigned out of the Imperial City to serve as a minor official.

The Emperor began searching for a husband for Li Shuning, prompting many families in the Imperial City to beco active.

But the more the Emperor searched, the less satisfied he was, feeling that none of them matched his Xiao Six.

In the story, Su Zi arranged for Li Shuning to marry her cousin.

This ti, Su Zi is plotting the sa.

Currently, Su Zi is rely the Princess Lian Consort, and Prince Lian hasn’t beco Emperor yet, so actions are still cautious.

Su Zi is also relatively restrained towards the Su Family mbers.

At this ti, the cousin from the plot has yet to develop a bad reputation.

Recently, Li Shuning has been encouraged by the Emperor to go out more, so Su Zi invites Li Shuning to visit Prince Lian Mansion.

Initially, Li Shuning didn’t want to go but reconsidered and agreed.

"Then I’m afraid to trouble the Imperial Sister-in-law. Xiao Six hasn’t visited since Brother established the mansion, so this ti I must admire it."

Since Su Zi invited Li Shuning, she naturally had plans prepared early.

On that day, Li Shuning got up early, selected gifts, and left the palace with her attendants.

Since it’s the first visit, gifts are necessary.

Upon arriving at Prince Lian Mansion, Prince Lian and Princess Lian were already waiting at the entrance.

This was likely done for the Emperor’s viewing.

Otherwise, as a brother, there’s no real need for such actions.

This was Su Zi’s explanation.

Su Zi had long inford Prince Lian of her plans, and Prince Lian complied.

After welcoming Li Shuning inside, Prince Lian headed to the study.

Su Zi led Li Shuning around Prince Lian Mansion.

"Imperial Sister, in sumr, this is a great place for scenery, though the current scenery falls short."

"Imperial Sister-in-law is modest; it’s already quite good here now."

A large lake lay before them, with small boats—boating on the lake felt very leisurely.

The two walked ahead while a group followed behind.

At this mont, two individuals approached from the opposite direction.

Su Zi exclaid and walked forward.

After a while, Su Zi laughed, "Imperial Sister, this is my cousin, who has just returned from Lin City. He’s obtained a great treasure, which drove him to visit, coincidentally encountering you; it’s destiny."

Li Shuning just smiled without saying anything.

Su Ziqian saluted Li Shuning and showed an item.

"Your Highness Princess, Sister, this is sothing Ziqian found in Lin City; it’s fun."

Su Zi, with the two, sat in the pavilion.

Su Ziqian brought a glass music box.

No doubt, Su Zi had arranged this.

Su Zi secretly glanced at Li Shuning; noticing no reaction from her, felt sowhat helpless. This was the best thing she could think of.

After all, the Imperial Palace lacked nothing; only these little trinkets might be more attractive. Yet, Li Shuning showed no interest at all.
