My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"I'm standing here in front of you now, okay?" Xiaoyanzi smiled and tried to comfort them. "Who am I, Xiaoyanzi? Didn't Grandma Sun always say that if you survive a hardship, there will be greater blessings in the future? I, Xiaoyanzi, am a blessed person. Moreover, the Emperor and the Empress have been very kind to me and haven't blamed me."

Ziwei and Jinsuo looked at each other for a while and then laughed. Only then did Ziwei realize that Xiaoyanzi had said so much in the first half of her sentence. In fact, she just wanted to say that those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future.

"Xiaoyanzi, please sit down quickly and let me take a good look at the wound on your body."

Liu Hong pulled Xiaoyanzi and asked her to sit down.

"Alas, Liu Hong, my wound has healed. Besides, there are outsiders here. How can I take off my clothes?" Xiaoyanzi looked at the two young eunuchs who were only two steps away from her, and then said to them, "You two should go back to the palace. By the way, tell the Queen that I will not be going back tonight. I want to stay in the courtyard."

The two young eunuchs were instantly panicked.

Before leaving, Madam Rong said that no matter when she came back, she would bring the girl back to the palace safely.

Otherwise... otherwise they will both be punished.

After all, Rong Mama was notoriously strict in the palace.

But the girl wants to stay in the slum now, how can this be tolerated?

Isn't this just waiting to go back and receive the punishment directly?

"Girl, this is absolutely unacceptable."

"Yes, yes, you can go back now." Xiaoyanzi waved her hand. "Ziwei and Jinsuo and I will go to the palace together tomorrow. I have a lot to talk to everyone tonight, so I can't go back for a while."

The two young eunuchs hesitated for a long time.

The sky gradually darkened.

It's time to go back to the palace. If I don't go back now, I might never be able to go back.

"Girl, let's go back first."

"You two, walk slowly."

Liu Hong took the initiative to see them out. Not long after they left, Liu Qing came back with Grandma Sun and the children.

"Liu Hong, those two people just now were..."

Liu Qing looked back at the two young eunuchs who had already walked away.

"Grandma Sun, Liu Qing, and the kids, come in with me." Liu Hong excitedly led them into the house. "Look who's back."

Granny Sun was so excited to see Xiaoyanzi back that she went up to her and quickly held her hands. "Swallow, oh Swallow, you're finally back. I've been thinking about you all the time these past few days."

"Grandma Sun, I miss you too, so I asked the Queen to allow me to return to the compound today. The Queen also prepared a lot of delicious food for everyone."

As Xiaoyanzi spoke, she opened the brocade boxes one by one.

Each brocade box has three layers, and each layer contains many pastries that you have never seen in your daily life.

Xiaoyanzi distributed the cakes in the brocade box to everyone one by one.

"Grandma Sun, the Empress specifically ordered the Imperial Kitchen to prepare this pastry for me to bring back to the compound. Come and try it."

Grandma Sun took the cake from Xiaoyanzi with trembling hands. Looking at the exquisite cake, she said excitedly, "I have lived for most of my life, but this is the first time I have eaten such exquisite cakes, and they are made in the imperial kitchen of the palace."

"Grandma Sun, take your time eating. There's plenty of food here."

Liu Hong smiled as she watched Grandma Sun taste the pastries.

There were ripples in my heart.

Seeing Grandma Sun happy, she became happy too.

"That's it."

the next day.

It's just dawn.

The two brothers Erkang and Ertai set out from the Bachelor's Mansion.

"Brother, should we go to the palace gate and wait for the Fifth Prince?" Ertai rode his horse slowly behind Erkang, but Erkang didn't speak for a long time.

Ertai quickened his pace and came to Erkang, but found that he looked thoughtful and was not listening to him at all. So Ertai rode up without saying a word and blocked Erkang's way.

When Erkang found that his way was blocked by Ertai, he was forced to break free from his thousands of thoughts.

"The compound is outside the western suburbs of the city, and it's still quite a distance away. I can't wait to get there to pick up Miss Ziwei and bring her to the palace, but you're just blocking my way."

"Brother, what are you talking about? I say one thing and you say another. It's totally irrelevant." Ertai retorted.

Erkang cleared his throat slightly to hide his embarrassment at the moment, "Aren't you asking me where the slum is?"

Ertai pulled the reins in his hand and then made way.

What happened to his brother today?

He has been acting nonchalant ever since he came back from the compound yesterday.

"When did I ask you about the compound?" Ertai looked at Erkang with complicated eyes. "I was asking if you wanted to wait for the Fifth Prince. When he arrives, we can go to the compound together."

"Oh."

When the two brothers walked side by side to the palace gate.

Yongqi had been waiting here for a long time.

When he saw Erkangertai, he quickly trotted and got into the carriage behind.

"lets go."

……

Ziwei, Jinsuo, Xiaoyanzi and others were all in the yard looking outside, until Erkang, Ertai, Yongqi and the other two appeared at the gate of the slum, then they all went to greet them.

Seeing that the Fifth Prince had only just arrived with his men, Xiaoyanzi immediately questioned him, "Why did you only just arrive now? You made us wait here so early in the morning. I thought you weren't coming."

"Xiaoyanzi, calm down. We're here now," Yongqi explained. "You know, I woke up early this morning to pay my respects to the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager Cixi. I can't leave until I've paid my respects."

The voice just fell.

Erkang, who was standing behind Yongqi, stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed once more to everyone. "It's our fault for keeping you waiting, but first, let me introduce you. The person who just spoke is none other than the current emperor's fifth son, Aisin-Gioro Yongqi, his beloved son. The person standing behind me is my younger brother, Ertai."

Ziwei's gaze lingered on them, then she leaned forward and said, "Ziwei pays her respects to the Fifth Prince, and to the First and Second Young Masters Fu."

Yongqi saw this and quickly stepped forward to help her up. "You don't need to greet us. You just heard what Erkang said. I am Yongqi, the fifth son of the current emperor. Our generation is the Yong generation. In terms of age, I am older than you, so I should be considered your fifth brother."

Ziwei bowed to Yongqi again and then began to explain, "Though the words 'Fifth Brother' are just two simple words, they carry a thousand pounds of weight with me. I've been traveling from Jinan to here for over half a year, and after arriving in Beijing, I've run into obstacles everywhere. You're the first relative I've met. I can't express how thrilled I am right now."

"However, I have not yet officially met the Emperor nor received his approval. I hope that until I receive his approval, I will be allowed to address you as Fifth Prince."

Yongqi was stunned by what Ziwei had just said.

I didn't expect her to be so insightful.

On the way to the slum.

He kept wondering whether this sister he had never met was someone who was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

However, upon seeing her now, her words immediately dispelled my previous thoughts.
