New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

It was a hot summer day and the palace was quite hot. Except for the favored concubines and princesses who were supplied with ice in the palace, most people had to endure it.

Among the favored palaces, Chengqian Palace was the most prosperous. Not only was there the favored Concubine He in Chengqian Palace, but there were also two princesses who were almost famous throughout the capital and were quite loved by the emperor.

In Chengqian Palace, the scorching sun was burning the earth, and the cicadas on the trees in the yard were chirping wildly, making people feel irritated.

The palace maids and eunuchs walked back and forth in the yard with reluctant expressions on their faces, and from time to time their eyes fell into the house to look at the two little princesses who were packing up their things.

Inside the house, a young girl in a red and blue Manchu dress stood there gracefully. Her pretty face showed reluctance and a little expectation. She packed her clothes hesitantly in her hands and looked at the familiar room, feeling very uncomfortable.

In the next room, the young girl, who had the same expression of reluctance as her, was wearing a pink and yellow cheongsam and gently stroking objects in the room with her slender hands. She felt sad at the thought of leaving and not being able to stay any longer.

Perhaps because the two of them were packing too slowly, a voice came from the door, urging, "Xiaoyanzi Ziwei, are you done packing?"

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Xia Yuhe, who was dressed in a gentle palace dress, walked into the house with a gentle expression. As she walked, she smiled and asked, "You two girls, what do you want to do so reluctantly?

Your father has granted you Shufangzhai, and you can start your own business in the future. When the time comes, you can sleep in as much as you want, and I won't bother you anymore. Aren't you happy?

Besides, even if you go to Shufangzhai, it is still your home. Why are you reluctant to leave? What? You two little girls, do you want to forget your mother after having a new home? "

There was disdain in her words, as if she wished they would leave sooner. However, upon closer inspection, her eyes were red, as if she was about to hold back her tears.

Xia Yuhe looked at the two rooms and the two girls who had grown into graceful young ladies, her eyes filled with pride and reluctance.

These two children have lived in her Chengqian Palace almost all year round. They can be said to have grown up here. Now that they have just turned sixteen, the emperor has granted them a house and asked them to live in Shufangzhai. They moved there today. Not to mention that the two children were reluctant to leave, she was also very uncomfortable.

When Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei heard their mother's voice, they dropped the clothes they were half-packing, walked to their mother, and hugged her arms on the left and right, acting coquettishly.

"Mom, we can't bear to leave you. We will definitely come back to see you often. No matter where we are, this is our home."

After ten years of transformation, Xiaoyanzi has grown from a mischievous child into the graceful young lady she is today. Her big, clear and bright eyes blink from under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and her fair face is covered with red lips, making her look cute and lovely. Even her dignified and elegant Manchu dress cannot conceal her casual personality. Her temperament is fully revealed when she walks, and there is nothing wrong with her.

Xia Yuhe nodded with red eyes, and wanted to reach out to touch the two children's heads, but she was held by the two men and could not move. She had no choice but to follow their strength, went into the room with them, and sat down beside the bed.

Ziwei has a gentle face that is quite similar to Xia Yuhe, but there is some of the emperor's heroic spirit between her eyebrows. At this moment, her pretty fair face has slightly red eyes, and she leans on her mother's shoulder reluctantly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Okay, okay, you two girls, aren't we all in the palace? When you've packed up, I'll send you to Shufangzhai to rest. There should be a lot of empty rooms there. Then, I'll stay with you for a while, too."

As Xia Yuhe spoke, she couldn't help laughing, but her smile was a little bitter. She said that the two children couldn't bear to leave her, but in fact, she couldn't bear to leave the children even more.

Looking at them from being naughty children to gradually becoming the most outstanding princesses in the palace, they really have suffered a lot.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei snuggled in Xia Yuhe's arms and chatted with her for a while. They reminisced about the interesting things that happened here, and they all felt that time was flying fast.

After a while, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei packed up their things and moved the iron basin containing ice cubes in the room to the living room and Xia Yuhe's room. Then, they asked their personal maids to carry a small bag and go to Shufangzhai.

In fact, there was no need to pack, but they had lived here for thirteen years and there were some frequently used clothes and jewelry that they needed to take away.

They left the rather cool room and came outside. Looking at the rather hot day outside, several people sighed at the same time, but did not delay.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei politely declined Xia Yuhe's offer to go to Shufangzhai with them. After all, the weather was too hot and she would feel very uncomfortable if she went there.

Xia Yuhe sighed and agreed. After ten years of changes, she was no longer young, but had gained a touch of charm. Now, returning to the children's room, she looked at the room which had not changed much from before and felt a little empty in her heart.

----

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei walked along the familiar road towards their new home. They had walked this road thousands of times before. After being reborn, they were not sure whether they would live here again in the future, so they often strolled here. They felt that this route was as familiar as if it was engraved in their bones.

Jinsuo and Hongdou were their personal maids. They followed the princesses to Shufangzhai. While carrying small bags, they did not forget to hold umbrellas for the two princesses to shade them from the sun.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the two people who were sweating all over, thought for a moment, and asked for an umbrella. She held the umbrella over herself and Ziwei, and asked them to use the umbrellas to block the sun.

Jinsuo and Hongdou were already used to their princess being so considerate, but they were still very happy to be respected by their master.

"Okay, Jinsuo, Hongdou, let's go. It's getting hotter."

Xiaoyanzi, who was walking forward with Ziwei holding an umbrella, found that Jinsuo and Hongdou were not keeping up, and could not help but urge them.

"Hey, here we are."

The two responded, then followed the two of them holding an umbrella.

Ziwei glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but smile. Xiaoyanzi was still so gentle and considerate.

Afraid that she would get tired holding the umbrella all the time, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I play for a while?"

Xiaoyanzi glanced at her and said, "I have been learning martial arts for twelve years. Can I be tired just holding an umbrella? Are you looking down on me? Huh?"

Seeing her joking around, Ziwei laughed and couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, "Humph, you treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, so just hold the umbrella."

Having said that, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

"Okay, Princess Mingzhu, I will obey your command."

Xiaoyanzi chuckled and spoke in a funny way.

The two smiled at each other. The loss and sadness they felt about leaving Chengqian Palace slowly disappeared, and they were full of expectations for the future.
