Waking up early in the morning, Xiao Chuchu, who had been entertaining her brother by playing a handheld drum, twisted her little neck from the bed to see Wei Zheng with a wooden splint on his right arm.

"Princess, Fifth Prince, the Emperor says you should avoid leaving the palace for the next few days if possible, as it's very chaotic outside."

Xiao Chuchu blinked her eyes, [What happened that made the Emperor think it's so chaotic recently?]

"Oh, Master Liu just finished a meeting with the Emperor at the Chonghua Palace. The Emperor wants you to take the Fifth Prince and the little princess to have a meal there."

Concubine Liu immediately expressed her gratitude, "How is Sergeant Wei's arm injury? Would you like to have some tea here before we go?"

"I'm honored to serve you," Wei Zheng smiled. "No need for tea. Just get ready quickly, Princess, and go to the Emperor. Don't keep him waiting."

So urgent?

Wei Zheng excused himself first, exchanging a glance with the Fifth Prince.

Most likely, the Emperor wanted to hear the little princess's thoughts.

They were also eager to know what Concubine Liu's father had discussed with the Emperor during his visit to the palace.

Did the Emperor find out about the Liao King's affairs?

Without hesitation, Concubine Liu swiftly instructed Zhang Jia Wet Nurse, "Check the little princess's diaper and feed her some milk, then we'll head over."

In just the time it took to burn one incense stick, Xiao Chuchu had finished eating and drinking, and was burped by the wet nurse.

Energetic and lively, she was carried by Concubine Liu, accompanied by the Fifth Prince, to the Chonghua Palace.

As soon as they entered the main hall, they were greeted by Wei Zheng and led to a side room.

A dining table had already been set up there, and Wei Zheng smiled, about to take Xiao Chuchu away.

"The Emperor misses the little princess, so he wants to see her before the meal."

Concubine Liu and the Fifth Prince felt a sudden pang in their hearts.

Something big must have happened.

The Emperor was so impatient that he used the excuse of having a meal with them, but couldn't even wait until lunchtime to hear the little princess's thoughts.

"Don't worry, Princess, I'll take good care of the little princess," Wei Zheng said carefully as he took Xiao Chuchu away.

The side room was just two chambers away from the main hall of the Chonghua Palace.

The little princess's voice soon carried over clearly.

[Did my grandfather suddenly gain the Emperor's favor?]

[Wow, is my grandfather well-suited to be an Imperial Censor and offer advice?]

Concubine Liu and the Fifth Prince exchanged a glance, both finding seats near the door in the side room.

They silently picked up their tea cups and held their breaths, listening intently.

In the main hall, when Xiao Yunzhou saw his daughter arriving and heard her soft, tender voice, he beamed with delight.

Not only was the little princess incredibly talented, but she was also adorable and blessed, making him happier than his sons.

[I didn't expect that after my Emperor father restored his power, he would recognize and utilize talents so well.]
