The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 878 - 876

President Mu’s carriage had already gone far, but his words still lingered in Xin Lin’s ear.

Xin Lin realized that in terms of actual skill as a Spiritual Delicacy Master, she wasn’t even on par with the most ordinary Imperial Chef in the Imperial Palace, let alone compete with people like President Mu and Master Chen. Fortunately, this time the preparation method for the Emperor Toad was sashimi, otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the capability to prepare any Five-star Spiritual Food.

Moreover, President Mu’s words seemed to hold another meaning.

"Another day, I’ll have to pay a visit again."

Xin Lin contemplated.

"Master Xin, the Emperor is still waiting for you."

Captain Yang reminded her from the side.

Xin Lin nodded, no longer insisting on Captain Yang changing the form of address.

Before this birthday banquet, Xin Lin was merely Chu Beiqing’s daughter, a regular student at Qingtian Academy.

But after tonight, Xin Lin’s outstanding performance undoubtedly turned her into a famous Spiritual Delicacy Master in Purple Cloud City, her status vaguely threatening Master Chen of De Yue Building.

Moments later, Xin Lin arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

Inside, Chu Beiqing was drinking tea with Emperor Longteng.

"My dear..."

Seeing Xin Lin, Chu Beiqing jumped up, waving his arms excitedly. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Father, look at you, I’ve told you many times, clean your mouth after eating."

Xin Lin, seeing some sugar syrup on her silly father’s mouth, helplessly wiped it clean for him.

Behind her, Emperor Longteng raised his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing.

The sharpness flashed briefly, and when Xin Lin pulled Chu Beiqing along to greet Emperor Longteng, he reverted to being the benevolent-looking Emperor Longteng.

"Rise, Xin Lin, I’ve told you many times, when we’re alone, you and your father are like family to me, no need to fuss over formalities."

Emperor Longteng casually waved his hand, signaling Xin Lin to sit down.

Xin Lin sat upright, while her silly father grabbed a piece of sugar lotus root from the table and munched it happily.

"I heard these sugar lotus roots and buns were made by you. Beiqing is lucky to have such a good daughter."

Emperor Longteng said with envy.

Only after the banquet did he find out from Shi Pin that the Empress Dowager had secretly arranged for Xin Lin to prepare the longevity buns and sugar lotus roots to surprise him.

The guests uniformly praised the freshly made delicacies by Xin Lin, and coupled with the previous Ice Cold Royal Clam, Emperor Longteng was very pleased with this birthday banquet.

"If Your Majesty enjoys them, Xin Lin could prepare some to send to the Imperial Palace daily."

Xin Lin lifted her little face, her big dark eyes full of surprise and delight.

"No need daily, I understand your studies at Qingtian Academy keep you busy. If I’m ever in the mood, I’ll have you send some over, and you studying together with Little Xinzhuo will be nice companionship."

Emperor Longteng gazed at Xin Lin’s innocent and charming little face, unknowingly a smile appeared on his lips.

"You and your father are nothing alike."

Xin Lin hesitated, then promptly said.

"I resemble my mother... Well, my mother is slightly less attractive than my father."

The Xin Family in Xin Lin’s memory was often plagued by illness and didn’t look well.

"Haha—you child, your words are indeed charming. It’s a pity you’re not my daughter."

The Emperor’s words carried some regret.

Upon hearing that, Xin Lin’s eyes flashed, and she immediately knelt, kowtowing loudly.

"If Your Majesty wouldn’t mind, Xin Lin could call you Godfather. You are as close as brothers with my father, I’m my father’s daughter, and therefore your daughter."
