My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Concubine Ling nodded and lowered her brows, then opened the window and looked outside.

After checking that no one was outside, he closed the window again and said boldly, "Sister, whether this method is good or not is not up to us to decide. It all depends on what Xia Yingying does in the future."

The Queen looked at Concubine Ling with a half-smile, "Sister, you said that, but from now on, the Emperor won't be visiting our palace for a while. I'm afraid the threshold of Gyeongbokgung Palace will be trampled down by him."

The queen couldn't help but tease.

"Well, isn't this perfect? My sister and I can have some peace and quiet for a while." Concubine Ling had someone make another cup of tea for the Queen and continued, "Besides, having someone to share our burden is great. Besides, the Empress Dowager doesn't like her to begin with. From now on, Xia Yingying will have to do everything in her power to please the Empress Dowager."

"But you can coax her, but don't try to be clever. The old man is not a fool. Besides, the old man won't fall for it."

"That's right." Concubine Ling looked at the Empress and continued, "The Empress Dowager is a person who values etiquette and family background. Even if Xia Yingying has put in so much effort, her family background is not good, so people will always criticize her."

"Too."

The queen smiled and nodded.

Humph.

I'm afraid Xia Yingying still thinks it's a great honor for her to enter the palace and become a concubine, but she doesn't know that once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, and it won't be so easy to get out again.

"It's just that the old lady will be angry for a long time. We two should spend some time with her these few days." The queen said disapprovingly, and took a sip of tea. "Good tea."

"This is the Longjing tea that the emperor recently gifted me. If you like it, I'll have Zi Fu send it to you."

After Concubine Ling finished speaking, she turned around and winked at Zi Fu.

Zi Fu nodded and took out the Longjing tea from the cabinet.

"Thank you, sister." The queen stood up with a smile, then looked at Zi Fu and said, "Then come with me."

"Yes."

Early the next morning.

Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi and Seya got up very early.

The three of them got out of the boat together and prepared to go to the market to have a look and see if there were any good things. If they found anything nice, they would buy it and take it back.

At this moment.

Seya's eyes suddenly fell on a stall.

"Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi." Seya took their arms and ran to the stall. "Look at these little clay figurines, they are so lifelike."

Xiaoyanzi liked these various clay figurines the most. She took some clay figurines from the shelf and looked at them left and right, but after looking for a long time, she found that none of them looked like herself.

"Hey, can you help me make a little statue of me?" Xiaoyanzi put all the clay figurines in her hands back on the shelf. "Boss, why are you ignoring me? Are you not doing business?"

Xiaoyanzi saw that the boss who made clay figurines was ignoring her.

So she simply walked around to the boss and continued, "Boss, why don't you teach me how to make clay figures later?"

The boss looked up at the chattering woman, then looked at the other two women standing in front of his stall. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be children from wealthy families.

Why did he take a fancy to this inconspicuous clay figurine today?

The boss pursed his lips and said cautiously, "Girl, I'm just a small business. If you really want to buy something, just pick something you like from the shelf. I never teach you how to make clay figurines easily."

"Hmm? Boss, I sincerely want to learn from you." Xiaoyanzi kept pulling at the boss's arm, begging, "Please teach me."

The boss raised his head impatiently and looked at the woman who was pleading with him. He refused firmly: "I said I won't teach you. I won't teach you."

Say it.

The boss suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the stall opposite him, then raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.

Seya, Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi looked in the direction the boss pointed.

It turned out to be a stall selling sugar figures.

The owner of the sugar figurine painting stall drew one lifelike pattern after another, which was very beautiful.

Seya pulled Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi towards the candy figurine stall and said, "Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi, look, this is amazing."

"Xiaoyanzi, since the boss doesn't want to teach you, then don't force it." Ziwei said affectionately, holding Xiaoyanzi's arm. "Besides, I think this sugar figure painting is not bad either."

"The sugar figurine paintings are really good, but..." Xiaoyanzi actually still wanted the clay figurine owner to teach her how to make clay figurines. She wanted to make one in the image of Ertai and give it to him on his birthday.

The sugar man painting boss felt very happy when he saw the three women in front of him praising his sugar man paintings.

He looked at them proudly and couldn't help but said, "Whatever you three girls want to draw, whether it's flying in the sky or walking on the ground, as long as you can name it, I can use this syrup to draw it for you."

"Then...then draw me a butterfly." Seya said first, "I want a dancing butterfly."

"OK, no problem."

The boss scooped a spoonful of syrup from the hot pot and quickly drew the shape of a butterfly on the table. Then he moved it left and right. Finally, while the syrup had not completely hardened, he took out a bamboo stick from below and placed it on top.

A lifelike butterfly appeared in front of everyone.

"Girl, yours is done." The boss handed the butterfly to the woman. "What do the other two girls want to do?"

"Boss, please make a little rabbit for me." Ziwei looked at Xiaoyanzi after she said that, but found that Xiaoyanzi beside her was gone. When she was looking for Xiaoyanzi around in confusion, she suddenly saw Xiaoyanzi trying to coax the boss who made clay figures again.

So Ziwei added to the candy man's boss, "Please make me another swallow. How much is it?"

"Four copper coins, make two and get one free."

The boss is a good businessman.

Within a moment.

A rabbit and a swallow were also made.

Ziwei took the rabbit and the swallow and followed Seya to the little swallow.

"Little Swallow." Ziwei happily took the things in her hand and prepared to give them to Little Swallow. "Look, I asked the boss to make a swallow too. Isn't it beautiful?"

Xiaoyanzi had no thoughts at all at the moment.

She had finally persuaded the boss to teach her how to make clay figures, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make them well.

Especially the facial features are so difficult to carve.

"Ziwei, Seya, I only need the eyes and nose now." Xiaoyanzi said, "You two wait for me for a moment, I will be done soon."
