If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

Qin Shuxing was sitting by the window in her study, drinking tea.

The tea is this year's newly harvested daisy tea, brewed just right, with a clear and bright liquor and a refreshing aroma.

He held his teacup, his gaze fixed on the old sycamore tree outside the window, watching a leaf swirl in the wind before slowly falling to the ground.

Logically, this scene should be quite relaxing, but Qin Shuxing...

"Sigh..." He sighed sadly, his mind replaying the dream from last night.

After an unknown amount of time, the heavy, carved door was suddenly opened.

The servant announced this at the door.

"Your Majesty, a reply from the Duke of Winster's household has arrived."

The servant respectfully presented it with both hands, but before he could even look up, he suddenly felt a whirlwind pass by in front of him.

The next second, Qin Shuxing had already opened the letter and was standing in front of the French windows reading it word by word.

The letter meant that the thing he couldn't stop thinking about, called jelly, could indeed be made.

However, it requires a special material, which is the fruit of a climbing plant. It has a thick skin and many seeds and cannot be bought in ordinary markets.

Pei Yuening inquired and learned that it seemed to be only on the wall of the Parliament Building in the capital.

Qin Shuxing burst out laughing when she saw the last sentence.

"Hahahaha!!!"

He folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and then turned to look at the door: "Someone come here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Bring me my 'battle robe,' I need to go out for a while."

The attendant was taken aback: "Your Majesty, are you going to the Winster mansion for another free meal...?"

"Oh no!" Qin Shuxing tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Never mind, it doesn't matter."

"..." The attendant sighed helplessly, bowed, and withdrew, saying, "Yes."

The next day.

Imperial Morning News - Special Edition.

Last night, the House of Representatives was attacked by terrorists, and the decorative plants on the west wall were almost completely stripped bare. The perpetrator is suspected to be a repeat offender, and the motive is unknown.

This newspaper reported last night: A bizarre incident occurred early this morning on the western outer wall of the Imperial Diet Building.

According to eyewitnesses, nearly two-thirds of the originally lush decorative climbing plants on the west wall of the House of Representatives were plucked away overnight.

The remaining parts were scattered and crooked, with clean cuts where the vines broke off, clearly indicating that they had been picked by someone. The cruelty and wickedness of the method were simply incomprehensible.

Is it the loss of humanity or the decline of morality? Let's take a look at today's news.

"I heard a noise while I was on night duty last night."

An unnamed guard told this newspaper, "When I went over to look, I only saw a dark figure crouching on the wall, his movements were so practiced it was appalling. I asked him who he was, and he said he was 'patrolling'."

"I immediately sensed something was wrong. What kind of inspector would be squatting on a wall picking fruit in the middle of the night?"

According to the on-site investigation, the fruit that was picked was a green fruit, and its specific purpose is still unclear.

Several fallen leaves were found at the base of the wall, along with a black strip of cloth that appeared to have been accidentally torn off during the crime.

The evidence has now been handed over to the Parliamentary Security Office for processing.

"This has happened so many times." A staff member of the parliament told this newspaper, "You talk about strategy and tactics, security cycles, how many times have they changed wave after wave?"

"Is it even going to work? It's just the same old thing in a new guise..." The staff member sighed helplessly. "What kind of team does the Privy Council next door have? They're the Knights of Lorraine."

"Who are you people? You ordered us to guard this place?"

"What's the current state of our parliament? There are only a handful of people. Even the Speaker, that old man, has been retired but rehired. Can he hold his position?"

"We can't defend it." The staff member shrugged. "You know we don't have the capability, right?"

"If this continues, we'll get robbed."

"After stealing property, they steal confidential information, and then they steal election ballots."

"Then there's nothing left to steal."

The reporter attempted to ask, "On the other hand, our parliament is an imperial organ on par with the Privy Council..."

Staff member: "Oh, thank goodness!"

"I've already said it, the gap you've created isn't even properly laid. Can you guarantee me that the House of Representatives will undergo reforms like the Holy Academy or the Privy Council in the future?"

"Be more practical."

"I advise you to first understand your own reform plans."

"Duke Luo was doing quite well at the border, why did you find a reason to bring him back? Tell me."

"As a result, he ended up working at the Privy Council with Duke Ye."

"And then there's Prince Lin, tell me how you explain that?"

"Oh, they've lost all sense of shame."

The above is based on on-site interviews.

Reports indicate that following last night's incident, senior members of the parliament held an emergency meeting to discuss whether to reinforce the surveillance magic array on the outer wall.

A spokesperson for the parliament stated that the matter has been reported to the Emperor, and whoever is responsible will be thoroughly investigated.

As of press time, the suspect has not yet been apprehended.

The details of this case are still under further investigation, and this newspaper will continue to follow the developments.

……

ducal mansion.

Pei Yuening stretched and went downstairs.

"Ughhhhhh—"

He suddenly fixed his gaze halfway through his dragon roar.

"Oh my god!"

In the living room, there was a large pile of lush green fruit.

Pei Yuening stood on the stairs, looking at the pile of creeping fig fruits on the ground.

There were at least thirty or forty of them, each one round and plump, with dew still clinging to their skins, clearly having been picked not long ago.

"...I actually got one." Pei Yuening squatted down, picked up one, and weighed it in his hand.

Thick skin, good elasticity, indicates it's fully ripe.

"Mr. Butler," Pei Yuening asked, "when was this delivered?"

"Young Master, it arrived before dawn." The butler smiled. "I think it must be His Majesty."

“…Okay,” Pei Yuening stood up. “Then I’ll do it first. Could you please go to the room and wake Juanjuan and the others up for me?”

"Yes."

The butler left.

Pei Yuening had someone move the fig fruits into the kitchen, tied on an apron, and began processing them.

First, peel off the outer skin and scrape the densely packed seeds inside into a large bowl.

Next, he wrapped the seeds in gauze, poured in a bowl of water, and began to rub them vigorously.

The gelatinous substance inside the seeds is gradually extracted through kneading, and the water becomes viscous and clear.

He kneaded the mixture repeatedly for about half an hour until the water became thick enough before he began to filter out the residue.

Gao Gao and the others came in, yawning.

"Ughh ...

Listen to the cake roll sing.

They squinted and yelled, then slowly came to their senses.

"Master..." Gao Gao rubbed her eyes, "Why did you call us...?"

Pei Yuening didn't even turn her head: "Come on, lend a hand."

"Okay," Curly flapped its wings and flew to the kitchen counter, sitting down. "Huh?"

"Master, what are you doing?"

It sniffed it carefully, then its eyes lit up: "Is it jelly?!"

Upon hearing this, Egg and Cake screamed, "What?! Jelly!"

They swooped down quickly and approached: "Really?"

"Okay," Pei Yuening placed the bowl in front of them, "Help me use magic to speed up the freezing of this thing."

"No need for too much, just enough to solidify."

"Alright!" Juanjuan rolled up her non-existent sleeves, leaned close to the rim of the bowl, and gently pointed at the viscous liquid inside.

White condensed mist emanated from its hand, slowly enveloping the bowl.

A thin layer of frost quickly formed on the surface of the bowl, and the viscous liquid was thickening and solidifying at a visible speed.

"That's fine," Pei Yuening reminded him. "This is perfect."

Juanjuan immediately stopped.

The jelly in the bowl had already solidified. Pei Yuening poured it out, cut it into pieces, and then garnished it with some diced fruit.

The glistening jelly, cradling vibrant fruit pulp, swayed gently in the morning light, looking incredibly tempting.

Pei Yuening scooped up a little with a spoon and tasted it.

It has a sweet and refreshing taste that melts in your mouth, just like the familiar texture of creeping fig jelly.

"Ughhhhhh!!!" The cake roll next to me was practically drooling.

"Master! Give me a bite! Give me a bite! Give me a bite!!"

"Okay, okay." Pei Yuening pushed their portions over to them.

Ye Jiyun placed the tray on the table and asked the housekeeper to deliver it.

Qin Shuxing packed the food into a food box and handed it to the servant outside the door to be delivered to the palace.

There's also Luo Ren.

Pei Yuening's gaze fell on the three little ones who were engrossed in eating.

"After you finish eating, send this to the Duke's mansion."

Gao Gao chewed her food, then, taking a moment from her busy schedule, looked up and said, "Okay! Got it!"
