Emperor Yongning saw Jun Ning remained silent for a while, still looking dazed, thinking she was dissatisfied with the bit of silver he offered, feeling it was too little.
So he added, "Not one tael, ten taels."
Jun Ning was filled with disbelief.
Seeing Jun Ning still did not nod in agreement, Emperor Yongning continued, "Fifty taels."
Jun Ning finally spoke, with a tone of disbelief.
Emperor Yongning: "Yes."
Emperor Yongning: "Quickly call me Father Emperor?"
Who would refuse money!
That’s fifty taels of gold, just a call of Father would earn it easily.
Jun Ning no longer hesitated, clearing her throat, preparing to address him.
But in the short time she was clearing her throat, Emperor Yongning raised the price to one hundred taels of gold per call.
In shock, "Father Emperor... Father Emperor... Father Emperor... Father Emperor... Father Emperor..."
Jun Ning was very straightforward, shouting five times in one breath. She berated herself internally for being too quick, wondering why she didn’t wait until each call was worth two hundred taels of gold, then she would have earned a thousand taels of gold.
She sighed and stretched her little hand towards Emperor Yongning.
"Five hundred taels of gold?"
Emperor Yongning hadn’t yet had the time to savor the happiness of having a little princess call him Father Emperor, when he heard Jun Ning’s words.
His mouth twitched slightly, speaking with a hint of reproach, "Calling only when given money, not calling if not given? Someone who recognizes money but not people."
Of course, she wouldn’t call without money.
But Jun Ning wouldn’t say this directly, instead she threw another question to Emperor Yongning: "Uh... Father Emperor, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Whether it’s truth or lie, anyway there’s nothing good to hear from your mouth, now I don’t want to hear anything." Emperor Yongning wanted to savor the joy of having a little princess more, not wanting his mood spoiled, "Five hundred it is, Xiao Lizi will give it to you later, now you stay with Father Emperor properly, and don’t make Father Emperor angry again."

Following that, whether reviewing memos or eating, Emperor Yongning had in his arms a cute little one.
From time to time, calling her "darling" repeatedly.
It really seemed like he was spoiling her immensely.
Because of the repeated calls of "darling," Emperor Yongning suddenly remembered another matter, his little princess hadn’t been given a formal name yet.
Jun Ning currently only had a nickname, called "Yi Yi," which was chosen by Qiong Hua.
The formal name had not been chosen, most likely Qiong Hua was waiting for Emperor Yongning to decide.
Now it seemed like waiting was over.
Emperor Yongning personally considered several formal names for Jun Ning.
Jing Shu, Jia Shi, Zhao Xi, Bei Ning...
Every one was a good name, drawn from "The Book of Songs," poetic and romantic.
But Jun Ning didn’t really like any of them.
Jun Ning asked, "Father Emperor, can I have a single-character name? Not a double-character one."
"Sure." Emperor Yongning thought for a moment, then said, "Ning, Yi, Lin, Zhi. These characters are all good, paired with our Jun Family royal surname, can’t be bad. It’s up to which one you like best?"
Emperor Yongning mentioned "Ning" first among the single characters because out of these characters, he favored "Ning" the most.
However, his favor doesn’t mean Jun Ning favors it as well; he didn’t intend to force Jun Ning, wanting her to choose for herself.
Jun Ning smiled and said, "I’ll go with Ning! I like Ning."
Hearing this, Emperor Yongning laughed heartily, "As expected of my darling, favoring the same character as me, truly in sync with my thoughts."
