Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Maternal grandfather?"

In terms of real power, the Minister of Justice in the Great Zhou Dynasty was definitely among the top twenty, if not the top ten.

Wang Guodong was not only of high status, but also a man of both literary and military talents.

A person who can sit in the position of Minister must be exceptionally literate. Back then, he achieved the highest rank of the second class in the imperial examinations.

That is, in the national unified examination held every three years, he ranked 7th in the country.

At the same time, he also made great progress in martial arts. He broke through to the Grandmaster level and reached the Free and Unfettered Realm.

Of the six ministers in the past, only the Minister of War was a master of the Free and Unfettered Realm.

There was no other way; without sufficient strength, it was impossible to suppress the arrogant and fierce generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wang Guodong was the second.

This was also related to the fact that he was able to gain the favor of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty back then.

But now, Wang Guodong, who holds a pivotal position in the entire Great Zhou court, actually took the initiative to get up and greet this middle-aged slave woman.

"Who is this?"

"Her name is Gongsun Da Niang. She's a new nanny I just took in."

Luo Qingqing looked puzzled.

Could it be that my maternal grandfather made some mistake when he was young?

If my grandmother finds out...

Luo Qingqing shook her head, banishing the dirty thoughts from her mind.

"To be your nanny?"

Wang Guodong's old eyes widened in disbelief. What kind of unbelievable story had he just heard?

How could a powerful being at the Free and Unfettered Realm come to their Minister's residence to serve as a servant?

Do they deserve it?

"This must be Minister Gongsun Shengnan. I greet you, Your Excellency!"

Gongsun Da Niang walked forward slowly and bowed deeply to Wang Guodong.

Wang Guodong politely returned the gift.

"Yes……"

He mumbled something, uttering only one word.

Lady Gongsun nodded with a smile, "Your insight is astute. I was assigned by the Prince to accompany the future Princess."

Gongsun Da Niang is one of the three secret guards under Li Changqing who have reached the Free and Unfettered Realm.

She hopes to be by Luo Qingqing's side as the future president.

"Your Highness?"

Luo Qingqing, who had been feeling very down lately, suddenly brightened up.

Those clear eyes stared intently at the woman before him: "Is Your Highness going to provide me with guards?"

"Miss guessed correctly. Now that your status is different, you naturally need to be careful. I've been staking out the Minister's residence for a month now. Unfortunately, Miss hasn't left the residence..."

For the past month or so, Luo Qingqing has been listening to her maternal grandfather analyze the court and learning the art of household management from her maternal grandmother and aunts.

Although deep down she would have preferred to work for the Six Doors.

But as the future Princess Consort of Qinghe, Luo Qingqing was well aware of her responsibilities. At this moment, she couldn't possibly care less about apprehending the wanted criminal.

If it weren't for the fact that the Prince of Qin's residence had remained silent...

She no longer gets depressed and goes out to clear her head...

Assuming she hadn't left the manor, she naturally wouldn't have known that Lady Gongsun had been waiting for her for a month.

"What danger do I face that requires a powerful being at the Free and Unfettered Realm to protect me at all times?"

Upon learning of Gongsun Da Niang's level of attainment, Luo Qingqing's first thought was that she was unworthy of it.

That's the Realm of Freedom!

Even in the martial arts world, it is enough to be a powerful force.

One of the main reasons why the Beggars' Sect has not been unified for so many years is that they have never had a powerful figure at the Free and Unfettered Realm to take charge of the overall situation.

Is this the kind of person who specifically protects her?

Luo Qingqing felt that she was not qualified at all.

"The young lady from the Luo family is naturally out of the question."

Gongsun Da Niang's voice was warm, but she spoke without any politeness. As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Guodong.

Even the Ministry of Personnel is not qualified.

"However, our future Princess Qinghe will definitely need to be protected by secret guards from the Xiaoyao Realm. The Prince specifically instructed that recently, many people have been trying to find out the location of the Princess and her concubines. He is afraid that someone with malicious intentions might directly target you."

For those top-tier wealthy families, the position of a concubine is clearly not enough to satisfy their demands.

What they want is a princess, and the future position of empress.

A dark glint flashed in Wang Guodong's eyes.

It seems he underestimated those guys!

The fact that the Prince of Qinghe made these arrangements clearly indicates that someone has already approached the Prince's residence.

No wonder the Princess Consort of Qin has been slow to arrive at the Minister's residence.

It is estimated that at this time, the Qin Prince's Mansion was also facing considerable pressure.

Although the position of the Ministry of Personnel was not low.

However, this does not mean that there were no better marriage partners than the Minister's Mansion in Kyoto, or even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Changqing's confrontation with the Crown Prince at Baima Temple clearly fueled the ambitions of those guys.

The Duke's Mansion, several Marquis's Mansions, and those reclusive families and sects...

They are all marriage partners stronger than the Minister's family.

"Becoming a princess is truly not easy. Does Your Highness have any message for me?"

Luo Qingqing accepted her future husband's arrangements without hesitation.

"The Prince said that Miss need not worry, he will arrange everything. In addition to me, Miss can mobilize 10 of the Prince's secret guards. This is the token to mobilize the secret guards! However, most of the secret guards are not in the capital, Miss can inform me in advance if you need anyone, so that I can dispatch them."

"Are all 10 bodyguards at the Grandmaster level?"

"It is possible."

Li Changqing did have some bodyguards at the Innate Realm among his subordinates.

However, if specifically requested, there can be more than ten secret guards at the Grandmaster level.

"Besides these, His Highness has one more thing to say to Miss Luo alone."

"Then I'll go for a walk."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guodong immediately stood up.

After he left, Lady Gongsun continued, "The prince wants to tell Miss that the reason he didn't annul the engagement was because he fell in love with Miss at first sight."

"Oh dear, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

The usually dashing Constable Luo was unusually shy.

She could actually sense that the Prince of Qinghe liked her.

From Luo Qingqing's perspective, she had no way to resist this marriage agreement.

But if Li Changqing is unwilling, no one can force him.

The second time the two met, Li Changqing began to support her.

Now, they've even sent him a secret guard, and one who's at the Free and Unfettered Realm.

This kind of care is more convincing than any sweet words.

"His Highness also said he is very busy and hopes Miss Luo can understand. His Highness cannot be by his future princess's side every day, so he hopes Miss Luo can always be happy."

"What do you want? What do you want to do? Just tell me. Even if I can't do it, Your Highness will help me find a way."

After thinking for a while, Luo Qingqing understood what her fiancé meant.

He didn't have much love, especially the kind of love that involves being together day and night.

This was determined by Li Changqing's personal pursuits and status, and it wouldn't change no matter who he married as his queen.

But he can give Luo Qingqing a lot of money and a lot of power.
