Zimu didn't care what other people thought or how shocked they were. She continued to improve and perfect those weapons using the cold weapon manufacturing skills that Rongtuan had exchanged for her.

Under Zimu's constant persuasion, the emperor recruited a group of craftsmen and famous blacksmiths to jointly study how to further improve the performance and quality of weapons.

Thanks to the continuous efforts of these people, steel that has been tempered a hundred times has emerged, and the weapons of this dynasty are dozens of times more powerful than before.

At the same time, under the emperor's instruction, Zimu slowly began to build up his own power.

With the guarantee of the emperor, the weapons she had made before, and her reputation as a talented woman who was famous far and wide, the team that was previously given to Zimu by the emperor was renamed Yulin Guard by Zimu.

Now the soldiers of the Yulin Guard are very convinced of Zimu, their new superior.

In particular, all the new weapons made by Zimu were first equipped by the Yulin Guards. Every time the Yulin Guards trained with other soldiers, the equipment on them made other soldiers salivate.

The Yulin Guards also felt very proud and were stricter with themselves. Even Zimu's strange training methods would be carried out by these soldiers without asking reasons.

In early winter, a letter came from Yangzhou saying that the eldest sister Hualan was engaged. Zimu looked down and saw that the engagement with the eldest sister was with the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion, so he wished he could grow wings and fly back to Hangzhou.

After bidding farewell to His Majesty and the Queen, Zimu took the information his people had found about the underworld past of the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion and rushed back to Yangzhou without stopping with the guards assigned to him by the Emperor.

After arriving in Yangzhou, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Yuan family had already replaced the Zhongqin couple and stood at the Yangzhou dock.

Thinking back to when the Queen Mother heard me say that my elder sister Hualan was promised to the second son of the Earl of Zhongqin, her expression was not happy and she asked me to put on airs when I returned home.

Even this time when she went home to visit her relatives, her support was no less than that of a royal princess. As the mother of a country, it was not easy for the Queen Mother to tell her minister's family affairs openly.

She also knew that Zimu was smart and would definitely understand what she meant, so the Yuan family, who had originally been blocking the dock in a grand manner, hurriedly gave up their seats after hearing the palace eunuch say that Princess Jinyang had arrived.

"younger sister"

Changbai's originally depressed mood became less angry after seeing Zimu: "Fourth sister, it has been a short time since you received the letter. You must have rushed back to Yangzhou. Come home early. Grandma, father, mother and your mother will definitely be happy to know that you are back."

Zimu felt happy when he saw his two brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Even though he knew what was going on, he asked knowingly: "Second brother, third brother, what's going on with you?"

"Mr. Yuan Wenchun and his wife from the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion pay their respects to Princess Jinyang. May the Princess always be happy and safe."

At this time, the eunuch who came out from the deep palace moved a throne behind Zimu with great tact.

After sitting down, he didn't even look at Yuan Wenchun and his wife's round eyes, but stared at his two brothers.

"Sister, come here and let me tell you..." Chang Feng couldn't help it first.

Although Chang Feng moved closer to Zimu and acted as if he was saying "I'm telling you something in secret", his voice could be heard clearly by Yuan's Dalang and his wife, as well as the people of Yangzhou who were watching the fun around.

Changbai also knew that if this matter was made public, the Earl's Mansion of Zhongqin in Bian Jing would probably be laughed at by the people of Yangzhou, and the Sheng family might even be implicated.

But thinking that Changfeng was just venting his anger for his family, he just let Changfeng do what he wanted.

Sure enough, Old Man Sheng, the Tongpan, was also quite famous in Yangzhou. The people who gathered around to watch the fun were all whispering, saying openly or secretly that the Yuan family was not honest.

"So that's how it is. Uncle Zhongqin is ill..."

Zimu turned around as if he had just seen Yuan Wenchun and his wife bending and half-crouching to salute: "How dare you! Why didn't you remind me that Yuan Dalang and his wife were still being polite here?"

"Yes, it's my fault. I should have reminded the princess."

After hearing Zi Mu's behavior, Gu Tingye, who was using the alias Bai Ye and was not far away, also felt for the first time the style of the little princess who was personally raised by the emperor.

At this time, Gu Tingye also felt that the Yuan family was a little unfair.

"Yuan Jia Dalang, you and your wife, please get up. This is the first time I've been away from home for so long. I'm so happy to see you two brothers."

"The princess left home at a young age, so she was so happy to see her family that she didn't care about anyone else. My husband and I know and understand."

Yuan Wenchun and his wife smiled on the surface, but they were very depressed in their hearts: Even if they didn't understand, what could they do? Although this little kid was young, she was a princess with military power, and her status was even higher than the two princes of the side branches of the Bianjing royal family.

"I heard that the old uncle is seriously ill, and the countess is tired from taking care of him personally?"

Yuan Wenchun said awkwardly, "Thank you, Princess, for caring about the Yuan family. It is precisely because of this that my father and mother can only send my husband and me to propose marriage on behalf of the two elders."

"Really? The Earl's wife is really hard-working. Not only does she have to take care of her seriously ill husband, but she also has to take her daughter and niece to poetry gatherings everywhere, and she is also tired and sick. The Earl is really capable."

"This……"

"Second brother, third brother, let's go back first. The others can come and greet us after we return home and inform our parents and elders."

"Okay, I'll go home first to tell grandma and father. Second brother, you accompany fourth sister back slowly." After saying that, Sheng Changfeng turned around and jumped on the horse.

Zi Mu's eunuchs also carried the sedan chair out from the boat, and the group left in a mighty manner, leaving Yuan Wenchun and his wife looking at each other in bewilderment among the piles of betrothal gifts at the dock.

Madam Wang, who was furious in the room, and Old Man Sheng, who was trying to comfort her, felt relieved when they learned that Zimu had rushed back and fed Yuan Wenchun and his wife a big meal at the dock.

Lin Qinshuang, who was greeting the ladies of the guests in the front hall, knew that her daughter had returned and happily waited for her to come in. The originally noisy guests instantly quieted down.

The Yuan family, the proposal of marriage, and all these were forgotten by everyone, who were just waiting to see the little princess.

Even Old Madam Sheng was much happier than before, because her little girl Mo asked Chang Feng to pass on a message to her that her old friend, Madam Kong, had also come to Yangzhou this time.
