After washing up, Iris came to the bedroom, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and all kinds of books on the bedside table. Especially the big bed in front of Iris, the bedding is so soft like that white velvet. The elegant black iron wire adds a sense of mystery. The moonlight outside the window scattered through the leaves of the trees into the house, looking more and more beautiful.

The wind blows, caressing the bed. The white silk quilt is a kind of warm and delicate touch, like a seductive embrace.

There is an inexplicable fragrance in the house. With a careful sniff, this fragrance is actually emitted by the bed, which made Iris feel curious. Which bed can emit this natural fragrance?

"This bed is made of rosewood! Rosewood is loved by me for its satin-like texture, fine and dense texture, and dark color. Rosewood also has excellent processing properties. A very small section of rosewood has higher strength, and can be deliberately carved and designed by the craftsman at will." Ye Li, wearing a nightgown, stood in the doorway and explained to Iris.

Ye Li pointed to the bed: "Look, the foot of the bed is also carved with a rose pattern!"

Iris took a closer look. She found that there were really roses, and the roses were carved as if they were real, so you can imagine how dexterous the craftsman's skills were!

"Thanks for your compliments, granddaughter! This rose is carved by me." Ye Li walked towards Iris.

"Eh?"

"All right! Go to bed and rest!" Ye Li patted the bedding.

"Does Grandma sleep here too?" Iris asked.

"Of course! This is my room! I didn't expect to meet my granddaughter, so I didn't help you pack your room. I'll have my maid help you pack a room exactly like mine later, how about that?" Ye Li smiled.

"No, no! I'll be leaving here in a few days, so I'll trouble your grandmother during this time!"

"Eh? Leave here? Where do you plan to go? Are you going back to Xiao Ya?"

"No, I'm going back to White Stork to finish my studies." Iris 's voice was small. She was afraid that Ye Li would get angry.

"Oh! That's how it is! Is it okay to leave after the New Year?" Ye Li inquired.

"Yes! I've bothered your grandmother during this time."

Iris didn't expect that instead of being angry, her grandmother was kind enough to ask if she wanted to spend New Year's Eve here! The main thing was that Ye Li used a question to ask Iris.

If it was Lilia, she wouldn't have asked her at all. If Iris dared say she wanted to go to White Stork, her both legs would be broken. And then Lilia would agree her to go to White Stork, but both legs were broken at that time, how could she go White Stork?

Grandmother is so nice! Why would she give birth to such a demon as Lilia! The two made a stark contrast.

"Grandmother! I want to know some stories about Lil ...Ahem, I want to know some stories about my mother when she was a child. Well ... just think of it as a bedtime story, okay?" Iris asked playfully.

"Of course! Where would you like to hear it from?"

"Birth! The earlier the better."

Speaking of which there was a bit of excitement on Iris 's face as she wondered what Lilia was really like as a child.

"Well ... I have two children, one named Lizzy Cecilia, and the other named Lilia Cecilia ,that is, your mother. The two were born together. They were twins, a boy and a girl. Xiao Zi is the brother, Xiao Ya is the sister, but Xiao Ya never called Xiao Zi brother. She always called Xiao Zi by name."

"Call her brother by name? Is it disrespectful to the elder brother? Shouldn't you educate my mother properly?" Iris asked, puzzled.

"Yes! I should have educated Xiao Ya properly, but Xiao Zi and Xiao Ya were born at the same time. So it is reasonable for Xiao Ya to disobey this older brother. From their acquired cultivation, Xiao Zi's strength is much stronger than Xiao Ya, and does not insult the name of the elder brother, but Xiao Zi always said he is not as good as Xiao Ya. I do not know the reason, maybe this question still need you to ask Xiao Ya."

"Okay!"

"As a child Xiao Ya was very naughty. Every day she yelled to play in the human world. I could not resist her, so I let her go. But within a month, she assassinated that human monarch, and she killed all the human magicians alone. Eventually we occupied that country without a single soldier, and now it has become the 'Blood Bank' of the Blood race."

"Blood Bank??" Iris looked at Ye Li in confusion.

It was likely that the humans in that country were domesticated like livestock, while the Bloods were the slaughterers, killing these "livestock" at will. At least that's what Iris thinks. She has seen this kind of thing before so many times.

"It's not what you think. Our Blood is still very benevolent. After entering the army, there was no massacre of the people there. In that country, a new obedient leader became a leader. We do not oppress the people there, and the blood is donated by the people there. Donating blood is an honorable thing for human beings, and their blood can save fellow human beings who are on the verge of death. The gratuitous voluntary activity of human beings is beyond our comprehension. 80% of the donated blood were given to the Blood race, and the remaining 20% left them as a rescue medicine for their compatriots. After all, the blood also has a shelf life. It cost a lot to deal with the blood. The 20% is enough for those humans to use." Ye Li explained.

"Lord Grandmother, why not keep these humans in captivity! Wouldn't it be simpler to kill them for their blood!"

Ye Li gently stroked Iris 's head and said, "Such tyranny will surely incite an uprising. Rebellion! We need to suppress it! Even if we suppress it, there will be revolts in the future. If the revolt continues, the Bloods will cost more manual power and material resources. The country will be left to their own governance, but can not escape the hands of the Blood. It is enough for humans to eat, and wear warm clothes during their lifetime. If we satisfy their basic needs, why do they need to rebel? In addition, humans have the shelter of the Blood, can other races dare to invade? Moreover, their leader is not only obedient, but also wise. He can distinguish clearly the benefits and harms. If he is stupid, we replace him into another leader!

Ye Li told Iris the reasoning behind it.

"Is this the art of being emperor?" Iris asked in confusion.

"You can think so! But it is only the tip of the iceberg. The art of being emperor needs not only to manage the interests of the country, but also to be able to learn from other countries, just like the current Dwarf country Lilvia. You will be able to understand sooner or later. I believe that the child chosen by Xiao Ya."

Ye Li smiled at Iris .

"The story is here for now! It is time for you to sleep, or you can not grow well!" Ye Li covered the quilt on Iris , turned out the light, and went to sleep ...
