After seeing off the emperor and empress that day, Zimu held the newly acquired token in his hand for a long time without saying a word.

"Sister? Miss?" Seeing that Zimu was still in a trance for a long time, Madam Kong continued to call out, "Princess?"

Zimu came back to his senses and saw Madam Kong, who was about the same age as his grandmother, looking at him with a worried look on her face. So he asked embarrassedly, "Madam, I was lost in thought just now. What do you want to call me for?"

"Girl..."

"Mammy, you are my grandmother's best friend. Just treat Zimu as your own descendant. Mammy, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Zimu noticed that Madam Kong was hesitant to speak. After spending these days with her, Zimu had already regarded Madam Kong as an elder who was as wise and astute as Old Madam Sheng.

After spending so many days together, not only Zimu was looking at Grandma Kong, but Grandma Kong was also paying attention to Zimu.

She thought more than once that this girl was worthy of being raised by her elder sister. Her demeanor was exactly the same as her elder sister's when she was young.

She was even more afraid that Zimu would be too stubborn in the future, but Madam Kong understood that steel is easily broken.

It was only today that Madam Kong realized that the little girl she had taken the initiative to take care of might be more determined than the older sister she knew, Madam Sheng.

"Your reputation as a precocious and talented lady has long been known in Bianjing. There are some things I shouldn't say, but since it concerns your future, I still want to remind you."

"Mammy, like grandma, is a wise elder. Mammy, please say whatever you want to say. Zimu is all ears to listen to Mammy's teachings."

Grandma Kong smiled and took Zimu's hand, saying earnestly: "Young lady, the nobles in this palace are the most difficult to guess. Today's incident, on the surface, seems to be that the emperor values ​​you, and has made you a princess and given you some officers to obey your orders, but who knows if there is any other secret? I'm afraid you need to be more careful in the future."

Zimu nodded seriously: "Thank you for your reminder, Madam. I understand. But I still need you to take care of me in the future."

Madam Kong patted Zimu's hand and comforted her, "Of course, don't worry, young lady, I will take care of everything in the palace for you."

Zi Mu knew in his heart that in this deep palace, every step was dangerous and if he was not careful, he could be doomed.

Now Zimu only knows that the current emperor is a soft-hearted and benevolent emperor, but she doesn’t know whether this emperor will trust his soldiers as much as her father, Emperor Wen, in her first small world.

Moreover, the deep palace where he now lived was not as harmonious as that of Emperor Wen, otherwise there would not be a dozen concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards without even a prince.

"Thank you, Madam. I feel relieved now that you are here with me."

"Don't be afraid, Princess. Nanny will always be with you." After Nanny Kong was bought into the palace by her stepmother, she had the opportunity to leave the palace, get married and have children when she was young.

However, Nanny Kong did not trust her father and stepmother, so she chose to stay in the palace and never get married. When she heard that her elder sister's granddaughter was going to live in the palace, she returned to the queen and went to Zimu.

Now he really treats Zimu as his own granddaughter and takes care of her in every way.

Zimu thought that he should take it one step at a time. With the experiences of Grandma Kong and Rongtuan at home giving him these small worlds, he would be able to overcome the danger and keep himself and his family safe with his own wisdom and abilities.

-----------------

At night, Zimu lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep, looking at the soft moonlight outside the window.

[What's wrong with Qinqin?] Rongtuan felt that his cub was in a bad mood, so he changed into the skin of a red panda again and appeared on Zimu's bed to comfort the cub.

Zimu knew that the palace had ears, so he asked in his heart: [Emperor Rongtuan is kind and compassionate, but is he a qualified and good emperor? The foreign countries on the border are eyeing him covetously. The current peaceful and prosperous times are like castles in the air, but the court still values ​​civil officials over military officials. ]

[Dear, don't worry about this emperor's future suspicion. Although he is not as decisive as Emperor Wen, he is definitely not a tyrant. ]

[Rongtuan, help me find the improved crossbows and weapons and the mechanical drawings that Shao Shang left behind in the first small world in this space.]

[Okay, dear] Rongtuan continued, [I will help you use your points to redeem a set of advanced skills for cold weapons and hidden weapons]

[As expected of you, this is really useful. I will exchange all the items you think I can use now.]

[Okay, honey, go to sleep, you'll be fine when you wake up. ]

After watching his cub fall asleep, Rongtuan exchanged a lot of things in the system store, all kinds of internal and light skills for Zimu to use.

The next day, when Zi Mu woke up, there were a lot more things in his mind, and even his body felt a lot more relaxed.

-----------------

Ever since Zimu entered the palace, the dignitaries in Bianliang had been watching silently. After the emperor gave Zimu the title of a princess, some people could no longer sit still.

If the current emperor had not had a son, Zimu would probably have been rumored to be brought into the palace and raised by the empress as the future prince's wife.

Princess Pingning, who was also raised by the Queen and adopted by her as her daughter, also went to the palace a few days later to test the Queen's opinion.

"Pingning is here. It's rare to see you bring your Yuanruo to the palace to see me."

The queen had no children throughout her life and there were constant struggles in the harem, which led to the only princess in the palace growing up dying of depression early due to some secrets after her marriage.

She had raised Princess Pingning for many years when she was young, and in her heart she regarded Princess Pingning as half a daughter. She was a little curious about Princess Pingning bringing her son into the palace today.

"I heard that the fourth daughter of the Sheng family in Yangzhou..."

Princess Pingning suddenly remembered the imperial decree from His Majesty, so she changed her words and continued, "I heard that Your Majesty left Princess Jinyang in the palace to be raised by Your Majesty. I am happy for Your Majesty. Although raising a child by your side is a lot of worry, it can also provide a lot of time."

The Queen also understood what Princess Pingning meant: "Although the imperial decree of His Majesty stated that Princess Jinyang will be raised by me from now on, it was His Majesty who volunteered to teach Zimu personally."

Princess Pingning asked in surprise: "The emperor teaches you personally? But Princess Jinyang is not a man after all, how can she be taught?"

The queen was all smiles when she spoke of Zimu, and repeated to Princess Pingning what Zimu had said before.

Even Princess Pingning was extremely curious about Princess Jinyang, who was personally conferred by the emperor.

"I didn't expect that girl to have such ambitions at such a young age. She is indeed as ambitious as most men."

Princess Pingning then changed the subject and asked, "I wonder if His Majesty has said when the canonization ceremony for the princess will be held?"

The Queen nodded and said, "Father Zimu will return to Bianjing to take up his post after the New Year. Although Sheng Hong has worked diligently for so many years and has not made any great achievements, he has made many small ones."

"Your Majesty means that the enthronement ceremony will be held after the Sheng family returns to the capital."

Princess Pingning nodded in understanding: "This little princess is of noble status and the canonization ceremony cannot be neglected. Madam Sheng will be relieved to see her granddaughter in person."

The Queen scolded Princess Pingning with a smile: "You are still as clever as you were when you were little. It seems that I treated you harshly in the past."
