Three-Year-Old Li'er: The Cutest Girl in the Empire

Adorable child + farming + makeover

Three years ago, on the day Prince of Zhenbei Xiao Yi returned to the capital, he found a baby girl at the gates of his residence and named her Xiao Muli. Now she is three years old. Prince Xiao Yi sits alone in his study for half a day, his thoughts consumed by the question of how to raise his daughter. Xiao Muli is not only his only child, but also the apple of the eye of his elder brother, the emperor, and his sister-in-law, the empress. She is likewise the sole darling of the Empress Dowager and Consort Dowager Wen. Which of these elders hasn't doted on her and treated her like a treasure? Thinking of his imperial elder brother, Xiao Yi can't help cursing him under his breath: “Foolish emperor!” Take the time Xiao Muli yanked off Crown Prince Xiao Ze's belt in front of everyone at the Imperial Academy, causing complete chaos. His imperial brother not only refused to reprimand her, but even gave Xiao Muli a golden token exempting her from minor offenses, while sternly scolding the crown prince instead. The incident gives Xiao Yi a terrible headache, leaving him convinced that he's failed to raise his daughter properly.

A few days ago, Xiao Muli got into even worse trouble and hit Grand Tutor Qin's grandson. Grand Tutor Qin is renowned for his uprightness, yet this time he scolded his own grandson. That shows just how much the little girl's reputation for mischief has earned even Grand Tutor Qin's wariness.

Now Xiao Yi sits upright at his desk, staring intently at the bottle of pills on it. He is lost in deep thought. Once he leaves on this journey, he may never get another chance to protect Muli. With her unruly, impulsive nature, she's bound to suffer someday.
