Bai Tuantuan, who was still in the palace, was unaware of the imperial decree.

At this moment, she was leading Mu Bingbing and Mu Shuishui in cultivation.

It wasn't until evening that he left the palace with Chen Zhixiu.

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Chen Yijun.

"Second Uncle!" Bai Tuantuan's eyes lit up, and she ran over. "Second Uncle, why are you back? Where's Second Aunt? And where's Xiaobao?"

Chen Yijun smiled, looking more mature and composed than he had seven years ago: "They've all been waiting for you at home, little girl. We haven't seen each other for so many years, can't you show some concern for your uncle?"

"Uncle's doing just fine!" Bai Tuantuan said sweetly, clinging to Chen Yijun's arm. "I really want to see Xiaobao and go home!"

"Second Brother," Chen Zhixiu called out with a smile.

Chen Yijun's smile deepened: "Xiu'er is getting younger and younger, it seems to be thanks to Tuantuan."

"That's right!" Bai Tuantuan raised her head, extremely proud.

After the three of them boarded the carriage, Chen Yijun said, "Did you know that Tuantuan has been named Princess Zhenguo?"

"What?"

Chen Zhixiu and Bai Tuantuan both exclaimed at the same time, their faces showing indescribable surprise and shock.

Princess Zhenguo?

When did this happen?

How could they not know!

Upon seeing this, Chen Yijun's smile vanished, replaced by a deep sense of vigilance: "You don't know?"

“An hour ago, not long after Ali and I returned to the Bai family, an imperial decree arrived from the palace. It was personally announced by Eunuch Cai, who conferred upon Tuantuan the title of Princess Zhenguo and bestowed upon her the title of Shengning.”

"The name of the country?" Chen Zhixiu fell silent, looking at Bai Tuantuan with a puzzled expression.

Bai Tuantuan frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Is it because of the Crown Prince?"

"No, I have to figure this out." Bai Tuantuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the palace tomorrow."

"But the imperial decree has already been issued, and I'm afraid it can't be taken back." Chen Yijun sighed. "Could it be that the Emperor deliberately chose a time when you weren't around?"

Bai Tuantuan waved her hand: "Never mind, we'll find out tomorrow."

When the three arrived at the Bai residence, they saw Ning Chengzhu and his family there as well.

"Tuantuan!" Du Chunhua greeted her, her brows furrowed. "What exactly happened with this Princess Zhenguo?"

Chen Zhixiu said that they didn't know either: "Today we went to the flower viewing banquet. The Empress was really too much, so we went to Consort Li's palace. We only just left the palace now and didn't hear any imperial decree. It was our second brother who told us."

Bai Tuantuan nodded, then looked at Ning Nanxiao: "Do you know?"

Ning Nanxiao paused for a moment, then slowly said, "One of the reasons for this is because of the Crown Prince; you saved the Crown Prince."

Bai Tuantuan nodded: "Yes, today the Crown Prince went to the Empress's palace, and I predicted that he would have a very bad omen, so I gave him some advice."

"The second reason is that the Emperor has taken a liking to your abilities." Ning Nanxiao frowned. "If he just wanted to rely on you and tie you to the Sheng Ning Kingdom, that would be fine. But I'm afraid he wants to take you for himself."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Bai Tuantuan laughed: "That depends on whether he has the ability to take it from me."

“His Majesty is not that kind of person,” Bai Tuantuan said slowly. “From what I know of His Majesty, if he were jealous, he would have taken action against me long ago. Why would he wait until today?”

“Tuan Tuan is right.” Bai Han stroked his beard and replied, “The Emperor employs virtuous and capable people and is not a tyrant. However, in this way, Tuan Tuan will have to spend some time and effort to appease the public.”

"I expected that many people would come looking for trouble when I returned to the capital. Having the status of a princess, and a princess who protects the country, is beneficial to me." Bai Tuantuan's voice was soft but exceptionally clear and strong. "Since I have received benefits, I will naturally repay them. Being tied to the fate of the nation is not a bad thing for me."

"Good!" Bai Han laughed. "We are, after all, people of Sheng Ning Kingdom. If Sheng Ning Kingdom prospers for a long time, it will benefit our descendants."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tuantuan had an idea. Just as she looked up, she met Ning Nanxiao's eyes.

"unified?"

Ning Nanxiao leaned close to Bai Tuantuan and whispered two words.

Bai Tuantuan's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

"Sister, sister!" The little dumpling's soft voice rang out, and then Bai Tuantuan saw a little boy with two braids rubbing his eyes appear in front of her at the door.

Looking at Xiao Bao's adorable face and big eyes, Bai Tuantuan's heart melted!

She rushed over and picked up the little one, saying, "Good baby, I'm your big sister. Come on, say it again!"

Xiao Bao hugged Bai Tuan Tuan's neck, blinked his big eyes, and giggled, "The fairy sister in the painting!"

Rong Manyi smiled and said, "Over the years, we have been asking Xiu'er for Tuantuan's portrait. Every time Xiaobao sees it, he says it is a fairy sister."

"She's absolutely gorgeous!" Du Chunhua chimed in. "Look at our regimental commander, she's just so beautiful!"

"Chen Yufeng, I hope that our Xiaobao will be a trustworthy and reliable person in the future, and I also hope that Xiaobao's reputation will resound throughout Shengning Kingdom."

Chen Yufeng...

Bai Han nodded: "A good omen, a good name."

Rong Manli was overjoyed: "Quickly, Yufeng, thank you, sister."

Chen Yufeng gave a proper bow, then threw himself into Bai Tuantuan's arms, unwilling to leave.

After chatting for a while, everyone went home.

The next morning, Xiang Chaoyang arrived at the Bai family's house.

As for the other sisters on the isolated island, they were sent to the white, round isolated island.

Xiang Chaoyang's arrival brought another round of excitement to the Bai and Chen families.

Bai Tuantuan hurriedly met with Xiang Chaoyang, handed her over to Yuan Chenchen, and then entered the palace.

"The little girl is here." The Emperor put down his brush and beckoned to Bai Tuantuan. "Come, sit down."

Bai Tuantuan stepped forward and looked at the Emperor, saying, "Tell me, Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the ministers for bestowing upon me the title of Princess Zhenguo?"

"Hahaha!" The Emperor laughed loudly, "You silly girl! You're Bai Tuantuan! Even if they have opinions, they'll just keep them to themselves."

"However, matters of the court are my responsibility. I have given you this opportunity, so you must seize it!"

Bai Tuantuan pouted: "If it weren't tied to the fate of the nation and beneficial to me, I wouldn't have taken on such a huge undertaking!"

The emperor was taken aback, then laughed again: "Of all the people I've met, only you dare to speak the truth."

Bai Tuantuan said helplessly, "You know I'm cultivating. You have dragon energy within you. Even if I lied to you, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow it! It would harm my cultivation! That's why I wouldn't do such a thing!"

The Emperor was in a very good mood: "Yesterday I heard that you entrusted the cultivation to Bingbing and Shuishui?"

Bai Tuantuan nodded: "Yes, we can only start with the children! Your Majesty, you can't do it, you're too old!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Very well, I'm getting old. I'll rely on you all from now on!"

The continuous laughter caused the Crown Prince and Ning Nanxiao, who were standing outside, to exchange a glance.

Mu Yangwei sighed, "Sure enough, my daughter is the real source of joy."

Ning Nanxiao nodded: "Then you should have one."

Mu Yangwei: "Then if you have a son, we can become in-laws?"

Standing to the side, Grandpa Cai suppressed a laugh, thinking, "They're not even married yet, they're thinking too far ahead!"
