New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

"I didn't expect it either." Song Qing really didn't expect that she would be with Ertai.

Bachelor's House

"Mother, our sons are back." Erkang and Ertai returned home and hurried to pay their respects to their mother.

"Okay, okay, it's good to be back." Fu Jin looked at her two sons and said with a smile. "How did your trip go?"

Erkang and Ertai knew what Fu Jin was talking about, so Erkang said, "Mother, we have already received the amnesty order for this trip, which is a big step forward."

"The amnesty order has already been issued? That's really a big step forward." Fu Jin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.

"This is all thanks to Princess Qing." Fulun said at this time.

"What does this have to do with Princess Qing?" Fu Jin was puzzled. "Did Princess Qing ask for this pardon?"

"Let Ertai talk about this." Fulun glanced at his youngest son, and Fu Jin also looked at Ertai.

Ertai was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly reminded of himself. "It's like this. We were assassinated on the way. Qing'er saved the emperor from being stabbed by the assassin, so she was retaliated and stabbed. At that time, Qing'er asked the emperor for this special pardon."

Ertai's words were more official, and he didn't say why Qing'er wanted to help.

"Princess Qing knows about your affairs? Then why is she helping you so much?" When Fu Jin heard that Song Qing was stabbed and still asked for a special pardon for them, I immediately felt that this was strange. Princess Qing was too good to them!

"You'll have to ask Ertai about this," Fulun said calmly after taking a sip of tea. Erkang also looked at Ertai with a teasing look.

"Well, it's because Qing'er and I are together." Ertai did not hesitate and immediately told the reason. Just kidding, he is very anxious now, and he is still waiting for his mother to help him talk to the old Buddha about this matter!

After hearing this, Fu Jin was stunned. She looked at Fu Lun, then at Er Kang, and finally at Er Tai. She was very confused. Didn't Qing Er have a tacit understanding with Er Kang before? Why did she become Er Tai now?

"Mother, Qing'er didn't care about what happened in Biyun Temple three years ago, so she likes Ertai." Erkang saw his mother's confusion and explained. Speaking of this, he was also very embarrassed. When he thought of the stupid thing he did at that time, he was speechless.

After listening to Erkang's explanation, Fu Jin finally calmed down and looked at Fu Lun, "Why didn't you tell me about this? It wasn't mentioned in the previous letter."

When Fulun saw his wife's angry questioning, he quickly explained, "Oh, I was thinking of giving you a surprise. Don't be angry, have some tea." He quickly handed a cup of tea to his wife.

"Hmph." Fu Jin finished her tea, snorted, and ignored Fu Lun.

Erkang and Ertai were used to seeing their father and mother behave like this.

"Mother, I'm sorry to ask you to take care of Qing'er and me. Please go and talk to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible." Ertai quickly expressed his thoughts.

Seeing her son so anxious, Fu Jin smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, you are too anxious. Qing'er won't run away again."

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work, mother!" Ertai said with a smile.

The next day, Shufangzhai

The old Buddha brought Song Qing to find Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei. "Qing'er has told me your secret. Xiaoyanzi, you are so bold that you dare to pretend to be a princess and have pretended for so long. You are simply lawless."

The stern words of the old Buddha startled Xiaoyanzi, and she quickly said, "Old Buddha, didn't Qing'er tell you? I was shot into the palace by the fifth prince. I didn't want to come in."

"Shut up. You've been pretending for so long. If you want to correct this mistake, you can do so at any time. You've been pretending for so long. Even if you have hidden secrets and fears, you don't have to cover it up with the word 'have no choice'. Anyway, you didn't correct it in time, which means you have evil intentions. There's no point in explaining anymore." Little Swallow was speechless after being frightened by the old lady's violent speech.

Seeing this, Ziwei quickly came to the rescue and said, "Master Buddha, Xiaoyanzi really does look like Gengzheng. She was beaten because she wanted to correct herself. She said "I am not a princess" and was beaten half to death. She was frightened and didn't dare to say anything."

"There is another reason that Xiaoyanzi didn't tell you. She was moved by the emperor. A person who had no parents since childhood suddenly enjoyed the love of his father. She was flattered and reluctant to give up that precious feeling. This is more meaningful than money and status." Song Qing felt that she had to persuade him with emotion and reason. "Old Buddha, I think if I were Xiaoyanzi, I would also be tempted by this feeling. After all, this feeling is really precious."

After hearing what Song Qing said, Xiaoyanzi felt that someone understood her, and her eyes immediately became red. "Yes, that's right. It was like that at the beginning."

After hearing what Song Qing said, the old lady thought of her life experience. She lost her parents at a very young age, so she really longed for fatherly love. By putting herself in her shoes, she could understand Xiaoyanzi a little.

"Ziwei, you and Xiaoyanzi, the coincidences, and the mystery of your life experience, if I say that I completely believe it, I would be too dishonest. If I say that I don't believe it at all, it is impossible. Frankly speaking, I am half-believing and half-doubting." The old Buddha expressed his thoughts very frankly.

"Grandma, the road to recognizing my relatives has been very difficult. Now, I have no bigger ambitions. During the three months of traveling with the emperor, I think I have gotten what I wanted. I understand where my life came from, and that is enough. It is not that important whether I become a princess or not. I have also fulfilled my mother's last wish. Today I will listen to your decision, Grandma." Ziwei's words were very sincere, and could be said to be from the bottom of his heart.

"Ziwei, I believe in your sincerity. I came here today to tell you something. Your matter has to be put aside for the time being. The emperor has been busy with the affairs of the Mongolian prince recently. He cannot accept your story at this time. It will be a big shock to him. You all should keep your mouths shut recently. Wait until I have made the arrangements, and then we can talk about this matter, okay?" It must be said that the old Buddha was really moved by Ziwei's words just now.

"Thank you, Master Buddha. I will definitely follow your arrangements." Ziwei said.

"Okay, the Mongolian prince is here with the princess, and I have a lot of things to arrange. Qing'er, let's go." Now that the matter was discussed, the old Buddha took Song Qing away.

Before leaving, Song Qing gave Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei a reassuring look.
