"Girl, stop being so shy. I feel so scared."

"..." Zi Mu was silent for a moment and then said in disbelief: "Your Majesty actually said that I was so shy? Your Majesty, do you still remember that I am a girl?"

"Oh, I just remembered it after you said it." The emperor looked at Zimu with his eyes wide open. The look of disbelief made the emperor laugh.

Empress Cao smiled and shook her head, "Your Majesty, why are you teasing this child?"

"That's right. You're still teasing children at your age. The Empress is the best." Zi Mu turned around and buried his little face in Empress Cao's arms.

Empress Cao looked at Zimu's shameless look and stroked his furry head and said, "Alright, don't be so ungrateful. Keep all these. I'll have the stewards come to see you in a few days. Madam Kong beside you is a capable woman. She can help you and teach you well. Don't refuse, understand?"

"Well……"

"Okay, I'm not that suspicious, especially towards a little girl like you." The emperor sighed and continued, "All I want in my life is for the people to live and work in peace and for our borders to be free from invasion by barbarians."

Zi Mu sat up and saluted solemnly to the Emperor and Empress: "Zi Mu knows, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty and the Empress. I will do my best to ensure the peace of our borders, so that I can repay your Majesty for your kindness today."

"I... have no children, and the only princess who grew up to be mine got married... and passed away."

"His Majesty"

The emperor gently patted Empress Cao's hand and said, "I know I have been sorry to you in the past."

Queen Cao shook her head and said that she had gritted her teeth to get through such a difficult journey. Now she doesn't want to think about it so much. She is old, and it doesn't matter to her whether she has children or not.

<The queen and the emperor here are not as old as in the drama. The emperor is at most less than 50 years old, but his health is indeed not good>

"Girl Zimu, I treat you as my own daughter. I believe the Queen feels the same as I do."

Queen Cao nodded and glanced at her husband whom she had married with great joy when they were young. Now it has been almost twenty years and the joy of her youth has long since calmed down. What remains now is the affection and habit of accompanying each other over the years.

The emperor looked at his wife, smiled and nodded, then turned to Zimu and continued, "So you don't have to worry about me being too suspicious. Just like what you said... my vision is not as small as you think."

Zimu smiled awkwardly: "So your majesty knows everything."

[Is there a possibility that you are just too bad at acting? People like them who are born in the royal family all have many tricks up their sleeves. Except for your father, the founding emperor, the others have many tricks up their sleeves.]

[Baby Rongtuan, shut up and go play with your brother in the main system. ]

[Okay, darling, goodbye darling, love you, darling]

Zimu thought that as expected, a woman who traveled through time to ancient times and slapped everyone in the face, and was also ambiguous between the royal children and the heirs of the aristocratic families, making friends with them all and playing them in the palm of her hand, was the kind of person that only existed in cool novels.

"Your Majesty, if you say so, I will know."

"You have been back in Yangzhou for more than half a month. Neither I nor the Queen are used to it. Only after you came back did I feel that this palace has some popularity."

Zi Mu pretended to be surprised and said, "So I am so important to your Majesty and your Majesty. I am truly honored."

"Queen, you see, I told you that this girl would shine brightly when she was given a little sunshine, but you didn't believe me. You even told me before that this girl was well-behaved and lovely, and she would definitely not make me angry for no reason. Have you seen it with your own eyes now?"

"My lady, I didn't. I'm not like that. I'm a well-behaved, smart, talented, and beautiful girl, and I'm very dignified and decent..."

Both the Emperor and Empress Cao were amused by Zimu's series of denials and self-praise.

Seeing Zimu blushing and lowering her head, Empress Cao spoke up for Zimu: "Okay, okay, our little girl Zimu is the most clever and smart little talent."

The emperor laughed loudly and continued, "Zi Mu, since you are back this time, I have an idea I want to tell you."

Zi Mu's eyes lit up, thinking that the emperor had some idea. She looked at the emperor with sparkling eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me. No matter what, I will do my best."

"You don't need to do your best, but I have been listening to you all day long, Your Majesty, the Queen, and I always feel that you can change your name."

"Change it to something else? Change it to what?"

"The Queen and I intend to adopt you as our daughter. From now on, you will call us Father and Mother."

Zi Mu opened his mouth several times to say something but just didn't know how to say it. Now seeing that the emperor and the empress were looking at him expectantly, he opened his mouth and said, "I am already very satisfied to be able to accompany your majesty and your majesty like this, but..."

"But... Grandmother, father and mother don't know yet, so I..."

Empress Cao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Zimu is right. He will not return to the capital to take up his post until after Shenghong's year. This must indeed be informed to Zimu's parents."

"Okay, I'll do it for now. I'll call you that for now. When your father returns to Bianjing, I'll tell him in person and then put it on the royal family tree."

"I also want to be included in the royal family genealogy? Your Majesty...isn't your father over-praising me, your son?"

"It doesn't matter. It's worth it for me and the queen to have a daughter like you in this life."

"It is my great honor to be able to accompany my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress."

"I am so happy to have such a wonderful daughter today. The Queen has given me so many gifts. I also want something for my daughter. Someone, bring the box of South China Sea pearls I got a few days ago and send it to Jinyang."

"Thank you, father, emperor, and mother, for your reward."

The emperor and the empress did not stop Zimu from paying her respects. After Zimu stood up, the emperor looked at her and said earnestly, "Zimu, you will be busier and more tired in the future. If you have any questions, just come to your father and your mother."

"Yes, I understand."

In the following days, Zimu not only studied with the emperor as before, but also worked harder to improve his martial arts.

She originally wanted to change the ending of her original body and her original mother, but now she has another goal, which is to live up to the expectations of the emperor and the queen.

In addition to studying and practicing martial arts, Zimu even did not give up the training of the Yulin Guard in the military camp.

Zimu’s Princess Mansion had just been built, and the plaque at the door that read Princess Jinyang’s Mansion was changed to Princess Jinyang’s Mansion three days later.

While taking care of the original things, Zimu's relationship with the people around him is getting better and better, especially the ladies in the harem.

Especially Concubine Rong. After Zimu learned that the land with hot springs in his princess mansion was given to him by Concubine Rong, he went to Concubine Rong's palace to express his gratitude.

Concubine Rong is not too old, so it’s just right for her to have someone to play and talk with from time to time. She is also willing to spend time with Zimu.
