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

Shufangzhai is some distance away from Chengqian Palace and is considered a relatively remote place in the palace.

Many people in the palace thought that these two princesses were exiled to remote places and were most likely out of favor, but they didn't know that this was the emperor's feeling and was also the home chosen by Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei indirectly.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei stayed in Shufangzhai for several years in their previous life and had deep feelings for it. Since they had to leave their mother and live alone in a courtyard, they might as well live in their original place.

After they arrived at Shufangzhai, the emperor's reward came soon, including two palace maids, four eunuchs, two housekeepers, and dozens of boxes of gold and silver treasures and jewelry...

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei looked at each other and realized that fate was so wonderful. The person who was sent at this time happened to be the beautiful and talented man they once knew.

"Your servant Mingyue and your servant Caixia come to see Princess Huanzhu. Princess Mingzhu, may you have good luck!"

The two beautiful girls respectfully bowed and greeted the two princesses sitting in the seats above. One of them was gentle and dignified, while the other was a little impatient.

"Mingyue Caixia, hurry up and get up."

Xiaoyanzi saw her former friends from Shufangzhai coming back and excitedly asked them to stand up, her face full of joy of reunion.

Ziwei also looked at the familiar team members with a smile on her face, feeling quite excited.

Mingyue and Caixia looked at each other, quite puzzled, wondering why the princess was so excited? But seeing these two favored princesses with such good tempers and attitudes, they were relieved, and hurriedly bowed and stood up and stepped aside.

At this time, the four young eunuchs also knelt down and saluted.

"The servants Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Duzi, Xiao Wenzi, and Xiao Fangzi pay their respects to Princess Huanzhu and Princess Mingzhu. May the princess be blessed with good fortune!"

Four young eunuchs with handsome faces but different personalities came in from outside the door with their bodies bent, and respectfully bowed and greeted the two princesses who were sitting in the upper seats.

Xiaoyanzi raised her eyebrows at Ziwei and said, "See, it's not that I want to change his name, but their original names were very weird."

Ziwei suppressed her laughter and nodded. Well, she finally understood why the names of the talented scholars in Shufangzhai were so strange.

"Ahem, what are these little stools, little tummy, and little smell?

Why are your names so weird? The four of you please stand up. However, Xiaofuzi, Xiaofangzi, your names seem a bit strange. I will change them for you.

"Little Dengzi should be called Little Stool, Little Belly should be called Little Table, Little Wenzi should be called Little Mosquito, and Little Fangzi should be called Little Bug. This way, we are all one family."

Xiaoyanzi felt that she had become accustomed to the names of "small table" and "small stool". If she called them by their original names, she would forget them. So she had to change their names out of embarrassment.

Ziwei looked at her lovingly and did not stop them. Instead, she asked them if they had any objections.

The four eunuchs below were dumbfounded. Looking at each other, the two who were renamed Little Table and Little Bug wanted to refuse, but were reminded by the other two companions, "You have entered the palace, and your family does not expect you to carry on the family line. Why are you so obsessed with this name?"

The two of them thought it made sense, and the four of them expressed their gratitude together.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei discussed it briefly and felt a little embarrassed to change several people's names like this, so they suggested giving each of them a reward of one hundred copper coins as a name-changing fee.

It's not that they are reluctant to spend money, but small favors can make people feel more sincere than giving them silver, because human nature is never satisfied. If they give them a silver ingot easily, they will forget their original intention of serving the master well, and will find ways to please the master just to get rewards. In this way, the nature of the matter changes.

As expected, when the four young eunuchs who had changed their names learned that they had received a reward called name-changing fee, they excitedly bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Mingyue and Caixia on the side were a little envious, but they were quite satisfied with their original names and didn't want to change to some weird names just for that little bit of reward money.

"Okay, we are a family from now on. Xiaoyanzi and I are easy-going, so you can be more casual. As long as you do your job well, it will be fine."

Seeing everyone whispering, Ziwei couldn't help but stand up and speak to everyone in a gentle voice.

Everyone stood up and responded, "Yes! I know, I know!"

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei looked at each other and decided to change their name in the future. It would be nice to be the four beauties and four talented men as before.

But since they just met, it’s better not to make such unconventional requests and suggestions. They plan to make changes after getting along for a while longer.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei walked slowly in Shufangzhai. Seeing the familiar plants, trees, tables and chairs, they couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

They couldn't help but stroll around the yard, as if they had returned to the good old days.

Looking at the brand new house, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei felt a mixed feeling in their hearts. This place was once full of laughter and joy, witnessing their deep friendship and countless adventures. Now, although everything is brand new, they can still feel the warmth and kindness.

However, as their thoughts drifted, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei could not help but recall the bits and pieces that had happened here. Every detail was so clear, as if they had just experienced it yesterday. They remembered the ignorance when they first entered the palace, and also remembered the various difficulties and challenges they had gone through together later.

"Time flies!" Xiaoyanzi sighed. Yes, Ziwei agreed, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. But then she laughed again, "But now we have grown up, haven't we?"

Indeed, time flies, and in the blink of an eye they are no longer the innocent little girls of the past, nor are they the ones who entered the palace as princesses under false identities. One entered the palace as a maid just to restore her identity...

They have experienced many ups and downs, and have also gained growth and strength. Facing the future, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are full of expectations.

They know that life will not always be smooth sailing, but as long as they stay together, they will be able to overcome any difficulties. Because they believe that no matter how many thorns there are ahead, they will work together to create a beautiful future of their own.

"Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, here we come!"

Just as the two were daydreaming and reminiscing about the past, a familiar voice was heard at the door. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw, just like many times in the past, four young men with different styles strode in with smiles on their faces. The moment they saw them, their eyes seemed to light up.
