"Your grandfather has practiced martial arts his whole life. How could a little girl like you possibly surpass him in just a few days?" A gruff voice rang out.

Zeyan turned around, his eyes immediately lit up, and he bowed respectfully.

Yun's father came over and picked up Zeyan in his arms. "I haven't seen my grandson for a few days, and he's become even more handsome. But why has he lost weight?"

During this period, Yun's father was busy arranging defenses everywhere.

Although Luo Luo and Mo Beichen had made all the necessary arrangements before leaving, they were still somewhat uneasy.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief only after the number of palace guards doubled, and then rushed back to see his two adorable grandsons.

They happened to run into Yunmu, who, upon hearing Qianyue crying, rushed over together.

As soon as we arrived at the door, I heard my granddaughter asking, with a wronged expression, why she wasn't as good as her maternal grandfather.

"This little guy has quite the ambition, huh? He's only been learning for a few days and he already wants to surpass his maternal grandfather?" Yun's father walked up to Qian Yue with a smile.

Compared to Zeyan, Qianyue is as chubby and fair-skinned as ever, like a little glutinous rice ball.

Qianyue obediently greeted Yun's father and mother, then said coquettishly, "My mother is so amazing, I am her child, of course I am the most amazing."

"Oh? Why is she the most powerful, and not as powerful as her mother?" Seeing that Xiao Qianyue's eyes were red, Yunmu felt sorry for her, but asked with a smile.

The little guy finally managed to distract himself, so we absolutely mustn't bring up the old topic again.

Qian Yue answered matter-of-factly, “My brother taught me that the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, and our dynasty is full of talented people, just like the powerful back waves.”

"So, Qianyue will definitely be better than her mother," Qianyue added.

This theory made a group of people laugh.

When Qianyue saw her maternal grandfather arrive, she begged him to teach her martial arts.

As she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, and abruptly ran back to stand in front of her brother.

With bright, sparkling eyes, she stared at her brother and said, "Brother, I've got it! I'm going to practice martial arts and become the most powerful female general, to give Mother and Father a surprise."

Zeyan and everyone present were stunned.

It's not that they look down on Qianyue, but this little princess cries at the slightest thing.

Practicing martial arts and fighting are so tough, how could someone as delicate as her endure it?

However, everyone at the venue doted on the two siblings, and they didn't take Qianyue's words lightly, nor did they directly undermine her confidence.

Zeyan asked earnestly, "Why does Qianyue want to be a female general? Being a princess and protecting the people would be good too."

This is easier.

Qian Yue disagreed, saying, "Only when a female general kills all the enemies can the people prosper."

She silently added in her heart: That way, her father and mother will no longer be forced to leave them because of the enemy's harm.

Zeyan was startled when he saw her suddenly drop in mood.

It turns out she knew everything and understood everything.

They are even smarter than him.

He was taken in by his father, who taught him at any time, and he also received instruction and guidance from the Grand Tutor.

Qianyue ate and slept, slept and ate, interested in everything, but only half-heartedly engaged in anything.

Under such circumstances, the fact that she could figure out so many things shows that her younger sister is exceptionally intelligent.

Zeyan felt both proud and heartbroken.

Originally, it should have been him, the older brother, who was forced to become sensible and mature.

He should have been the one to protect his sister from the wind and rain, but unintentionally, the little princess was forced to grow up.

The others didn't think that much about it; they just encouraged Qianyue to keep going.

Zeyan said earnestly, "I believe Qianyue will definitely become a female general."

He will be her strongest support, allowing her to fly with peace of mind.

Qianyue smiled brightly after hearing her brother's words.

She knew her brother understood her.

Afterwards, in a good mood, Qianyue dragged Yun's father to practice martial arts.

Yunmu held Zeyan's hand with concern, "Have you been eating properly? Why have you lost weight?"

Zeyan said helplessly, "Grandmother, you just saw me and Qianyue yesterday. How could there be any change in just one day? Besides, we eat three meals a day without missing a single meal. How could we have lost weight?"

Yunmu chuckled and patted Zeyan's head. "Alright, you always have so many reasons."

I need to have a good talk with Ziheng later. In court, if they can contribute, they shouldn't bother her precious grandson.

She couldn't help but feel resentment towards Mo Beichen.

So young, yet he's placing such a heavy burden of the nation on such a young child.

Seeing that Yunmu was silent, Zeyan glanced at her expression and knew what she was thinking.

"Grandmother, please don't blame Father. He's very tired too."

Back then, I accompanied my father to court, handled memorials, and discussed matters with court officials.

Although his father involved him in these matters, he ultimately had his father behind him, shielding him from everything.

After his father passed away, he became emperor and only then did he realize how tired his father had been.

Fortunately, he had the help of his maternal uncle, the Grand Tutor, and Uncle Han; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure from so many senior officials.

Zeyan silently made a decision in his heart: he would be a good emperor and give his father and mother a more peaceful and prosperous dynasty.

Now that the world has just been settled, there are constant disturbances in various places, and the throne is occupied by a child.

Naturally, many people had their own ideas.

Even those countries that were once terrified by their fathers and mothers are beginning to stir.

Moreover, he had already heard his maternal grandfather say that there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.

Beyond their continent, there are other continents.

With Father and Mother gone, their continent was exposed to the sight of other continents.

In the short term, other continents may not know the situation and dare not take any rash actions.

But once they have investigated the situation on this continent, they will naturally not stand idly by.

So he also has a lot to do.

The kind that can't wait.

“Grandmother, you must be tired today. Please have the nanny take you home to rest. I will visit you again later.” Zeyan stood up and bowed.

Yunmu glanced at him, sighed, and said with heartache, "Don't overwork yourself, or your father and mother will be heartbroken. Let them do whatever they need to do, okay?"

Yunmu still saw him as a child, but she also became increasingly aware that he was a monarch, not an ordinary child.

She couldn't control him too much; he always had his own clear path to follow.

Moreover, this path is the only way to become an emperor, to become a wise and benevolent ruler.

"Grandson will remember this and will never let his grandmother and parents worry. Please rest assured, grandmother." Zeyan bowed his head and solemnly promised.

Yunmu nodded, and without wasting any more of his time, she left.

Zeyan hurriedly went to the Imperial Study to discuss the current riots in various places with the Grand Tutor and others.
