New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

"The old Buddha is right. It's time to arrange a marriage for Qing'er and Ertai. Otherwise, Ertai will be so anxious." The emperor wanted to laugh when he thought of Fulun's worried look. Ertai was anxious. Every day he was urged to find the old Buddha, that is, to urge his father to find the emperor to arrange a marriage.

"It's time, otherwise the Fu family's wife will be annoyed by her son's nagging." The Empress Dowager also thought of the embarrassed look of the Fu family's wife when she came to the Cining Palace, which was really funny.

"I will ask the Imperial Observatory to calculate the date after some time." The emperor spoke, and this matter was probably settled.

Song Qing was responsible for listening along the way, but didn't say too much. The only thing she needed to do was not to promise her to someone else.

"Speaking of arranged marriages, please ask Her Majesty to arrange a marriage for Yongqi with someone of equal social status, so that he can settle down as soon as possible." This Concubine Yu is really good at taking advantage of every opportunity. When she just returned to the palace, she had thought of letting Song Qing marry Yongqi. Fortunately, Song Qing expressed her determination. Now that Song Qing has someone, she has to arrange one for her son as soon as possible.

The old lady thought of Xiaoyanzi. When she knew Xiaoyanzi's and the others' secret, she already knew about Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi's relationship. Although she didn't want to marry Xiaoyanzi to Yongqi openly, she still had to consider it.

Now that Concubine Yu had asked, she didn't know who to name. "Then I'll have time to take a good look at him."

After hearing the words from the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yu felt much more at ease.

Seeing that no one was saying anything, the Queen started thinking again, "Why not point Xiaoyanzi to Benjamin? I heard that the two of them are closer than the Fifth Prince, and they even walked hand in hand in the Imperial Garden in the middle of the night."

Song Qing really couldn't help but swear. What kind of bullshit is this queen talking about? You are the one walking hand in hand in the garden!

"It's unfair. When we went on tour last year, we lived together for several months. Xiaoyanzi treated Benjamin as a buddy, and Benjamin was even more cautious and silly like a priest. Your Majesty, please don't make fun of them. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, no princess has been married to a foreigner. I'm afraid your jokes will get out and not sound good!" Song Qing smiled on her face, but she was roaring in her heart, "You dog queen, don't be shameless. Shut up now!" She kept chattering all day long!

Without giving the Queen a chance to speak, the Empress Dowager said, "Qing'er is right. Your spies are sometimes looking for trouble and saying random things to report back. Just listen to them and don't take them seriously." The Empress was stunned as soon as the Empress Dowager said this.

The emperor, who had just been gloomy because of the queen's words, suddenly became sunny. "Okay, let's not discuss this issue. A few days ago, I received a letter from General Zhao Hui, saying that Ali Hezhuo from Xinjiang, with his princess, is coming to see us. It looks like everyone will be busy for a while."

After hearing what the emperor said, Song Qing became even more worried. With Hanxiang's arrival, things became more complicated. Fortunately, there was still some time, so it seemed that she had to hurry up and confess to the emperor!

After learning that Hanxiang was coming, Song Qing went to Shufangzhai that night.

"Qing'er, why did you call all of us here today?" Ertai felt strange. This time Qing'er hurriedly called them all to Shufangzhai, saying that she had something to say, which made them feel nervous.

"Yes, Qing'er, why did you suddenly gather everyone together today?" Ziwei looked at Song Qing's serious expression and felt a little nervous for a moment.

"Today I accompanied the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to visit the garden, and learned that Ali Khoja from Xinjiang would come to meet the Emperor with his princess Hanxiang." Song Qing said after closing the door.

"Another princess is coming! Doesn't that mean we will get to meet new people again?" Xiaoyanzi was very happy when she heard that a new princess was coming.

"Qing'er, the princess is coming, why do you look so serious?" Benjamin asked puzzledly.

"Are you worried about Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei?" Ertai felt that Qing'er was probably worried about this matter.

"Yes, we have to hurry! This secret cannot be delayed until the people from Xinjiang come, so I came here today to discuss this matter with you." Song Qing was really tired, worrying to death every day.

"This matter really needs to be put on the agenda. We must have a foolproof plan, otherwise, the outcome will be difficult to resolve." Erkang was also very worried and said in a heavy tone.

"Some time ago, the people that the old Buddha sent out to investigate Ziwei's background have returned and have indeed confirmed Ziwei's identity. So the old Buddha has been on our side recently. When the time comes, I will ask the old Buddha to help us act as a lobbyist and strive to complete the task." Song Qing thought for a while and said.

"It's great to have the help of the Old Buddha. At least our situation won't be too difficult." Yongqi felt more at ease when he heard that the Old Buddha would help.

"In a few days, I will let the Empress Dowager take us to see the Emperor alone, and try to get things done at once. Also, the Queen must not interfere. What she said in the Imperial Garden today was annoying enough. If she is present at that time, I will be pissed to death." Song Qing was speechless when she thought of the Queen's suffocating behavior in the Imperial Garden in the afternoon.

"I didn't expect that someone with such a good temper like Qing'er would be so mad at the Queen. It seems that the Queen also has some power." Ziwei said with a smile as she looked at Qing'er's angry expression.

"That old witch is so powerful! She can make people angry to death!" Little Swallow, who suffered greatly from her, said quickly.

Ertai looked at Song Qing who was angry and handed her a cup of tea. "Don't be angry. Drink some tea to calm down."

Song Qing took two sips of tea before returning to the topic. "This time we have evidence and the old Buddha. The rest depends on your performance, Ziwei. You are the main character and the most important. Don't let me down." Ziwei understood and agreed immediately.

Just when Xiaoyanzi thought that she had nothing to do, Song Qing suddenly looked at her and said, "As for Xiaoyanzi, just try to agree with Ziwei and don't say anything useless."

"Okay, okay, I will do it." Xiaoyanzi felt uneasy when she saw Song Qing's eyes.

"If it weren't for Qing'er's help, perhaps this wouldn't be so easy for us." It must be said that Yongqi had revealed the truth, and Song Qing had arranged things clearly for them. They just had to carry out the instructions, and as long as they didn't slack off, there would be no problems.

Everyone agreed. After the discussion, they dispersed. Ertai wanted to send Song Qing back to Cining Palace and ask her something.

On the Palace Road

"Qing'er, we have already figured out the situation clearly. Why do you still look so solemn?" Ertai felt that Song Qing had been in a bad mood today and had a vague feeling of worry, so he asked.
