Princess Beiyan was mentally prepared to be humiliated by the powerful, but to her surprise, the founding emperor of China, who was said to be a little crazy, was unexpectedly friendly and kind when facing her.
Not only did the other party stop her from kneeling down to him, but he also kindly had someone bring her tea and snacks.
Although she didn't dare to drink or eat, and even didn't dare to sit still, she was afraid that the other party would suddenly attack her after she relaxed.
She didn't want to experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell, so she was always cautious.
Yu Zizhen saw it, but she did not immediately declare that she had no ill intentions.
After unceremoniously driving Yu Zicheng away, Yu Zizhen didn't say a word to the girl about his relationship and marriage problems with the Princess of Northern Yan.
She started to find topics to talk about from the business the girl was doing, and kept talking to the girl about China's business and industrial development issues.
Although the girl was reserved because she was wary, Yu Zizhen could see that she was really thoughtful and capable.
Isn't it a pity to lock up such a powerful woman in the inner house and let her be bullied by Princess Zhenbei?
As soon as this idea came up, Yu Zizhen couldn't help but feel eager to try it out.
She asked the girl, "Princess, would you like to serve as an official in the court?"
The princess of Northern Yan suddenly looked up, unable to conceal the surprise and astonishment on her face.
Yu Zizhen stroked his chin and began to plan the follow-up matters. "If Princess is willing, then I will have someone prepare a new identity for you."
"You..." Princess Beiyan was torn between her conscience and her desires. After a while, she trembled her lips and asked Yu Zizhen incoherently, "Are you really willing to..."
Yu Zizhen nodded vigorously with a serious face, "Sir, don't joke."
Princess Beiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her body had been stiff because her nerves were too tense.
Suddenly relaxing, the girl felt uncomfortable all over her body.
Yu Zizhen asked her, "Zicheng said that you've long wanted to give up your identity as the Princess of Northern Yan. Is that true?"
"Yes. My biological mother was a Han Chinese slave girl. I am nominally a princess in Northern Yan, but in reality, I am a pitiful little thing that can be bullied by everyone."
She couldn't tell others about her time travel, so she could only describe her miserable situation.
Of course, she hadn't lied to Yu Zizhen and Yu Zicheng. In Northern Yan, she was truly a poor little thing that could be bullied at will by most of her father's wives, concubines, and children. Even the servants who had the slightest respect in the palace dared to privately find fault with her, the "princess."
"Then you can choose a new name for your family." Yu Zizhen looked at her with his chin propped up and a smile, "Then let me test you to see how capable you are and how much responsibility you can bear without hiding your shortcomings."
Princess Beiyan was slightly surprised. It turned out that she was deliberately hiding her incompetence, but the other party had already seen through it.
At that moment, she suddenly felt even more admiration for Yu Zizhen. She admired her sharpness, and even more so, her broad-mindedness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity." She stood up and bowed sincerely to Yu Zizhen. "My biological mother's surname is Chen, Erdong Chen. She wanted to return to her homeland and see my grandmother again until her death. I...will change my name to Chen Nianzhi from now on."
Yu Zizhen raised an eyebrow, "Do you need my help to find someone?"
Chen Nianzhi smiled bitterly, "I can't find her. She... has passed away."
Her biological mother was just an ordinary citizen in the North. Because her father died early and her uncles and aunts did not accept her, she had always depended on her widowed mother.
After her only daughter was abducted, Chen Nianzhi's grandmother was devastated and soon fell ill and passed away.
After investigating these things, Chen Nianzhi not only visited her grandmother's grave, but also secretly thanked her distant cousin who had kindly helped collect her grandmother's body and hold the funeral under other pretexts.
At this point, Chen Nianzhi thought her mother's affairs were over.
She briefly told Yu Zizhen the inside story. After listening, Yu Zizhen did not mention her maternal relatives again, but just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Chen Nianzhi's identity is sensitive, and she is unwilling to have much contact with distant relatives from her mother's family. Yu Zizhen thinks that from the overall perspective, it is not a bad thing.
The two women, who also came from a more developed civilization, got along better and better after Chen Nianzhi let down her guard. It was not until Xiao Yuanjin sent someone to remind Yu Zizhen to have dinner that Yu Zizhen suddenly realized that she and Chen Nianzhi had been chatting about this and that for almost an hour.
She invited Chen Nianzhi to have dinner in the palace and said that she could help her change her appearance permanently.
Chen Nianzhi wanted it more than ever. In order to live a stable life in China, a place more similar to her hometown, she no longer wanted to bear this easily recognizable face.
She would rather not be that beautiful than be recognized by people related to Beiyan again.
Chen Nianzhi nodded repeatedly, indicating that she was very willing.
Then, she personally experienced the "miracle" created by Yu Zizhen that was widely circulated in the community.
It turned out that after the two of them had a simple dinner together, Yu Zizhen simply pinched her face a few times, and she quickly got a face that looked very similar to her in her previous life.
She was also a great beauty in her previous life, but her beauty at that time did not have any exotic characteristics.
After listening to her detailed description of the areas she wanted to fine-tune and the overall effect she wanted to achieve, Yu Zizhen decisively used a "disguise" on Chen Nianzhi's face while randomly kneading her face.
Yu Zizhen has used this skill many times. Basically, as long as she thinks about it, the face she wants can be perfectly reproduced on the target person's face according to her requirements.
"Can I take a look?" Yu Zizhen touched a bronze mirror and gestured to Chen Nianzhi to look at her face herself.
Chen Nianzhi touched his face several times in amazement, shaking his small head back and forth, "Oh my God, this is too amazing!"
She originally wanted to say, "How on earth was this done?", but thinking that Yu Zizhen was the emperor of China after all, Chen Nian subconsciously changed her words.
Even though she had behaved without any airs when interacting with Chen Nianzhi just now, Chen Nianzhi did not dare to speak too freely in front of the emperor in feudal society.
Chen Nianzhi didn't dare blurt out words like "How did you do that?" which might seem like prying into the emperor's privacy.
"I just took advantage of luck, unlike you, whose abilities are truly amazing."
Although Yu Zizhen would not tell anyone in the world about the system, this did not prevent her from admitting that these things that seemed magical to others were not her own abilities.
Moreover, she really admired Chen Nianzhi. They all grew up receiving nine years of compulsory education and later went to high school and college. However, the basic knowledge that Chen Nianzhi remembered firmly, Yu Zizhen had already returned most of it to her teachers shortly after graduating from high school.
