After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

When Princess Changle heard Su Li talking about what could have been their past lives, she felt a mysterious sensation spread through her heart. However, Su Li was only delighted because of his rapid increase in points. These points were gained because he had physical contact with Princess Changle by helping her fight off joint and muscle atrophy with whole-body exercises. Yet, this was no easy task.

Su Li’s personal attributes were average, but once his physicality reached 60 and all his attributes surpassed the average, he possessed abilities beyond that of ordinary people. Although Princess Changle was not heavy and weighed only about 100 pounds, engaging in an activity lasting over two hours was quite challenging for Su Li.

Despite Princess Changle’s beauty and attractive presence, Su Li was drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

I’m still a small puppy… Su Li sighed with emotion.

Nevertheless, considering the rewards in terms of points and the growing intimacy between them, Su Li speculated that he could effortlessly accumulate an additional 3,000 points each day. It would be even more advantageous if he could share a bed with Princess Changle at night, potentially earning him six or seven thousand more points. If he were responsible for attending to all of Princess Changle’s needs personally, without any female officers present to supervise, Su Li estimated that he could accumulate a staggering 40,000 points in a single day.

It’s quite common to refresh small attribute point gift packs, Su Li thought.

He reflected on the previous refresh rate, estimating that approximately ten to twenty packs could be released in a month. With each gift pack opening two attributes, it meant that a total of twenty attributes could be increased within a month.

Su Li was still enthusiastic about the system when he first traveled through time. Even though he didn’t have any points initially, he eagerly checked the daily refreshed products. Most of the items had not been seen in a long time since they were only refreshed once, but small gift packs for attribute points were relatively common. Su Li had been observing them for several months, and sometimes there were more than 20 copies available in a month, while at other times, there were only a few or even less than a dozen refreshes.

As for other commodities, it varied greatly. Sometimes they were cheap but useless, while other times, they were extremely expensive. Although, with Princess Changle’s ability to earn points, he was earning more than 20,000 points daily. Even if he disregarded the fixed expenditure of attribute points, he could save over 300,000 points in a month.

This meant that Su Li could buy almost all the commodities in the system as long as they weren’t too expensive. It was also advantageous to frequently refresh the attribute point gift packs since there was a minimum attribute increase limit each month. Attribute points were considered high-quality and affordable, as they provided significant bonuses with each point. While the difference between 60 points and 61 points might not be substantial, there was a significant gap between 99 points and 100 points.

Moreover, Su Li could continuously add attribute point gift packs to his innate attributes through the system. This was a terrifying prospect, as it meant he could potentially accumulate unlimited attribute points. It was even possible to reach a level where he could rival an entire country with his attributes alone. The highlight of the system shop was that, as long as one had enough money to spend, one could attain unparalleled power.

With Princess Changle’s help, Su Li could easily become an influential figure. Although, he wondered if, after ten or twenty years, he would still be considered human with attributes at such an extraordinary level.

……

On the opposite side, the female officer silently observed the scene happening before her. While assisting Princess Changle in her recovery, Su Li engaged in a one-sided conversation with the unresponsive princess. It took considerable time before a smile finally graced Princess Changle’s face. It had been a while since she had last laughed, ever since falling into a coma.

The female officer witnessed the furrowed brows of the imperial physicians and the various peculiar metaphysical rituals. Ultimately, His Majesty had placed all his hopes on one option, following Yuan Tiangang’s suggestion and selecting a commoner for wedding benediction. The female officer couldn’t voice her discontent with Li Er’s decision, as it was beyond her place to question it.

While most people pitied Su Li, the unfortunate soul destined to be buried with the princess, the female officer only believed that Su Li had won favor with Princess Changle. She had watched Princess Changle grow up and considered her as her own daughter. Naturally, she didn’t want Princess Changle to marry a crude peasant. It was like a father in today’s world who wanted his well-behaved daughter to marry someone respectable, but would rather she didn’t end up with a lively person who was involved in supernatural activities.

The female officer smiled, finally finding a hint of appreciation for Su Li. Nonetheless, she was merely a female officer and couldn’t question Li Er’s decision, regardless of her dissatisfaction. If the son-in-law proved capable of taking care of and protecting the princess, it would be a positive development. While the marriage could not be changed, the female officer hoped that everything would progress smoothly.

“Excuse me, please hurry up with the princess’s bath,” the female officer instructed a maid. Having already stayed up all night, she needed to be relieved. From her current viewpoint, it was impossible to entrust Princess Changle’s care solely to Su Li.

Before anything else, she must report to Li Er that Su Li had participated in Princess Changle’s treatment. While it was reasonable for the son-in-law to be involved in his wife’s care, it was also necessary to obtain the emperor’s approval for daily involvement.

The governor of the princess’s mansion was responsible for managing this matter. Su Li also had to inform Li Er of his participation in Princess Changle’s treatment. This was not a decision that the governor of the mansion could make on her own.

In the Temple of Manna, the Empress of the Great Tang, Zhangsun Wuji, gently shook Li Shimin’s arm and said, “Your Majesty, you must eat something.”

Li Shimin replied sorrowfully, “The palace physicians have tried various methods, including witchcraft, feng shui, and seeking blessings from temples and Taoist priests, but there has been no improvement in the princess’s condition. How can I eat in such circumstances?”

Yesterday, Li Er again visited the temple to pray for a miracle, but there was still no good news. He could hardly bear to look at his daughter’s increasingly frail and pallid face. It felt surreal how she had been vibrant and full of life just a short while ago, and now she lay motionless on the bed, showing no signs of response.

“No matter what, Your Majesty, as the ruler of the country, you must sustain yourself,” the Empress continued. “And according to Yuan Tiangang… the wedding should bring news about her awakening soon…”

“That’s wishful thinking!” Li Shimin exclaimed, pounding his fist on the table. The thought only enraged Li Er further.

Yuan Tiangang had promised Li Er that Princess Changle would wake up after the wedding benediction, but the news so far had been displeasing. Li Er had hurriedly consulted with doctors and followed Yuan Tiangang’s suggestion to marry his daughter off to a commoner, but it had not brought any improvement to her condition. When he consulted with the old Taoist again, the latter had brushed him off, saying that they would have to wait for some time.

Li Shimin was frustrated with the situation. None of the priests, monks, or doctors seemed capable of helping his daughter. To make matters worse, Princess Changle had to marry a peasant in her current state.

At that moment, a eunuch interrupted Li Er’s thoughts, informing him that the magistrate of the Li Quality Mansion had something to report.
