“Little Princess, the porridge is here,” the voice of the Nursemaid rang in her ears as she approached the bed. “Damn it,” Luo Bingbing cursed inwardly, realizing how poor her alertness had become; she hadn’t even noticed someone coming so close. It must be because this body is so weak. I need to start my fitness plan right away.
“Little Princess, shall I feed you?” the Nursemaid asked.
“Mm.” After finishing the porridge, Luo Bingbing told the Nursemaid that her body was too weak, as if a gust of wind could knock her over. She wanted to work hard to improve her health and asked the Nursemaid to prepare more nutritious meals for her. Hearing this, the Nursemaid was overjoyed, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing the Nursemaid suddenly in tears, Bing Bing immediately asked, “Nursemaid, what’s wrong?”
Through her tears, the Nursemaid explained, “Because the Prince is usually stationed in Yang City and rarely returns home, the Consort has been in charge of the household. The steward and accountant are close to the Consort; they often exploit the Princess, withholding food and clothing. Even your monthly allowance of ten taels has been taken by them.” After hearing the Nursemaid’s lamentations, Bing Bing felt a surge of anger. No wonder she looked so emaciated; it turned out this little one had been deprived of basic necessities. Those arrogant servants were taking things too far! Even if this body’s original owner was mute and neglected, she was still a royal Princess, the daughter of Lord Lo An! How dare they bully their master so openly? They must have received tacit approval from that legitimate wife! Truly despicable. Once she regained her strength, she would deal with those blind Dog Servants first. Following the principle of “return what you’ve taken from me and spit out what you’ve eaten,” they would wish for death! However, if she wanted to recover her health now, doing it openly wouldn’t work; she would have to find another way. The previous pitiful girl wouldn’t have known how to handle this, but she was a princess from a thousand years later with a mysterious Ability—dealing with these old relics would be a piece of cake!
“Nursemaid, come closer.” After the Nursemaid leaned down by Bing Bing’s bedside, Bing Bing whispered several underhanded methods for obtaining food. After a flurry of murmurs, the Nursemaid nodded vigorously, her bright eyes fixed on Luo Bingbing.
Bing Bing felt uneasy under the Nursemaid's gaze; she knew there were doubts in her mind. Yet on the surface, she remained calm and composed, hiding the turmoil within. With an innocent expression, she asked, “Nursemaid, do you think I’m much smarter than before?”
Though there were doubts in her heart, seeing that adorable expression and hearing those childlike words made the Nursemaid’s overflowing maternal love triumph over any suspicion. She thought to herself: I must not have slept well last night; that’s why I’m being paranoid.
“Yes, Little Princess is very clever.”
“Nursemaid, which room did my mother live in before? I want to go see it.”
“It’s in our Piaoyun Pavilion’s main courtyard, Little Princess. Once you’re feeling better in a couple of days, I’ll carry you there. For now, you should rest.”
“Mm.” To soothe the Nursemaid’s heart, Luo Bingbing agreed and closed her eyes. The Nursemaid sat by the bed for a while and thinking that Bing Bing had fallen asleep, went outside to do some embroidery. But Bing Bing wasn’t asleep at all; she was meditating. In her past life, her mother had died early after taking a bullet for her father during a crisis due to revenge from enemies. Her Ability had been inherited from her mother; her maternal family was a hidden clan of modern-day Ability users. Everything she practiced was taught by her mother—she hadn’t forgotten a single thing; it was all etched in her mind. Her father had been deeply affected by her mother’s death and focused solely on developing his gang to avoid repeating history with her; he rarely spent time with her. Thus, she believed he didn’t care about her or understand what she needed. She wondered if he had realized yet that she had disappeared in modern times…
Suddenly, she felt as if her sea of thoughts had doubled in size, just like when she reached the Orange Level of her Ability in her previous life. She immediately checked the level of her Ability within her body and was so shocked that she almost screamed; the light surrounding her was indeed orange, which meant she had leveled up just by meditating on her Ability. It should be noted that although she had a high IQ and an excellent memory, it took her six months in her previous life to cultivate from Crimson Level to Orange Level! Now, she hadn't even been practicing deliberately for more than an hour, indicating that the energy here was much denser than in modern times. Moreover, having already practiced once in modern times, it seemed that her current cultivation would yield twice the results with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Luo Bingbing stopped wasting time and immediately activated her Ability to set up an invisible barrier. Then she crossed her legs and focused on a faint internal breath at her dantian, guiding it through the meridians of her body. After all, without strength, words were meaningless; only with power could one walk confidently.
An hour passed, then two; time slipped away unnoticed. The Golden Crow descended from the mountain, and the Cold Moon had long since risen, quietly ushering in the dark night. Outside the door, the anxious voice of the Nursemaid could be heard. Luo Bingbing quickly dispelled the barrier to let the Nursemaid in.
She opened her eyes and once again activated her Inner Strength to check her Ability. To her astonishment, she found that her Ability level had reached Blue Level, and all of her injuries had automatically healed! This fact left Luo Bingbing shaking her head in disbelief at how extraordinary her body was! Goodness! It was not just extraordinary; it was simply a unique anomaly! In her previous life, she had started cultivating her Ability at the age of three and spent five years reaching Blue Level. So it was no wonder she was astonished!
The Nursemaid had been trying to open the door for a long time without success. Upon entering and seeing Bingbing sitting on the bed, she thought something must have happened! So as soon as she entered, she rushed to Luo Bingbing's side and asked, "Little Princess, are you okay?" Seeing the Nursemaid's anxious expression and concern for her made Luo Bingbing feel deeply touched and happy because ever since her mother passed away, no one had cared for her like this. From that moment on, the Nursemaid truly occupied a place in her heart.
"Nursemaid, I'm fine. You don't need to worry; I've grown up now. No one can bully us anymore." The Nursemaid was taken aback by Bingbing's words, but Bingbing didn't give her time to be stunned and continued with a shocking revelation. "You know how they treated me; moreover, my mother was harmed by someone. If I don't learn to grow up now, I might be next."
The Nursemaid was stunned by Luo Bingbing's words.
"How could that be?" The Nursemaid was startled by Luo Bingbing's statement, fear evident in her eyes. Although aside from herself and the Third Prince who treated Little Princess well, others in the royal residence were not kind to Little Princess, it shouldn't come to harming her life! She was only six years old! She posed no threat to anyone!
"Could it not be?" Luo Bingbing stared directly at the Nursemaid, a fierce and resentful expression on her small face that did not belong to someone of her age. "Although I don't remember much from before, you should still remember! This time I suffered injuries and lost my memory, but what will happen next time?"
"This..." The Nursemaid hesitated. Indeed, what Bingbing said was not wrong; having stayed in the royal residence for so many years, she had witnessed many treacherous deeds and knew there were many unjust deaths. Looking at this child whom she had raised with great care broke her heart. Although she was a princess in the royal residence, she lived worse than third-class servants there—worse than an ordinary child from a common family. "Sigh... Little Princess, do whatever you want! The Nursemaid will always be with you."
"No matter what Bingbing becomes?"
"Yes, no matter what Princess becomes, you will always be my Little Princess."
"Then Nursemaid, please go bring dinner in first. After we finish eating, can you take me to see the room where my mother used to live? Is that okay?"
"Alright, Princess. Please wait a moment; I'll be right back." Although the Nursemaid wasn't very sharp-witted, she sensed that Little Princess seemed different now—not only smarter but also more violent and cold-hearted; an intimidating aura emanated from her that resembled that of the prince. But as long as she still drew breath, she would protect Little Princess always.
After finishing the meal, the Nursemaid took Bing Bing to the room of her nominal mother. Although somewhat worn, it was kept very clean, likely due to the Nursemaid's frequent cleaning, as not a speck of dust could be seen.
"Nursemaid, what did my mother enjoy doing in the past?" Don't think that Luo Bingbing was just idly wandering and asking questions; she actually wanted to see if she could find something valuable.
"I remember Consort X was a talented woman who played the zither beautifully and often painted in her study."
"Where is the study?"
"It's right next door. Does Little Princess want to go there now?"
"Yes, let's go!"
The study, though a bit old-fashioned, was very tidy and easy to understand at a glance. Bing Bing casually flipped through a few books and quickly discovered some valuable ones, such as the Records of the Grand Historian, which documented the history and geographical distribution of this world. It turned out this was an alternate dynasty with Four Great Empires standing in the east, south, west, and north: Eastern Jin Yang, South Silver Moon, Xiao Haotian, and Northern Mo Han. Surrounding these Four Great Empires were many smaller nations that were vassals. Golden Sun and Silver Moon had much better climates compared to Hao Tian and Mo Han, producing abundant grains and textiles, allowing their citizens to live comfortably and relatively wealthily.
Hao Tian experienced prolonged droughts and was mostly inhabited by nomadic tribes skilled in horseback riding and archery. They were quite fierce and relied on trading cattle and sheep with Golden Sun and Silver Moon for necessities, making them relatively poor, yet their military remained the strongest on the Starry Continent.
Mo Han was located in an extremely cold northern region with low temperatures and year-round snow that formed glaciers. Travel was difficult; one had to use sleds to go outside. They produced iron, minerals, and weapons but were also relatively poor, trading these resources with Golden Sun and Silver Moon for daily necessities.
Due to the balance of power among the four nations and frequent trade between them, this world appeared quite peaceful on the surface. However, whether it was truly peaceful underneath was hard to say. Bing Bing knew an old Chinese saying well—war is everywhere! Especially in royal affairs!
