My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Hydrangea.

My mother loved hydrangeas the most when she was alive.

Dad knew that Mom liked hydrangeas, so he asked someone to bring back a lot of hydrangeas and planted them at the doorstep and in the yard.

It’s a pity...my parents passed away one after another.

The hydrangeas gradually withered.

I once went back to my hometown and thought that if I took good care of the hydrangeas, they would survive, but the hydrangeas did not survive after all.

Xiao Jian lowered his head, tears slowly sliding down his cheeks.

Dripping onto the ground.

I didn’t expect that Xiaoyanzi also likes hydrangeas like her mother.

"Master Xiao, why are you crying?" Xiao Dengzi suddenly saw Master Xiao wiping his tears when he stood up from moving his things. He then smiled and said, "Master Xiao, you're crying because your sister is getting married, right?"

Xiao Jian sighed and nodded without saying anything.

"Master Xiao, this is a happy thing. Besides, the princess is marrying into the Fu family, and you will also live there. You and the princess will be able to see each other every day in the future." Xiao Dengzi continued, but then changed the subject, "I think the ones who are most reluctant should be the emperor and the empress. They must be very upset to marry off both the princess and the princess at the same time. This palace will be much quieter in the future."

When Xiao Jian heard the word "Emperor", his expression suddenly became solemn.

"I'm going to tell the princess and the princess later that they should come to the palace more often, otherwise the palace will really return to its former lifeless state."

Xiao Dengzi was working hard to move things while talking, and didn't notice Xiao Jian's expression at all.

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Qing'er and Seya came out of the house and happened to hear the second half of what Xiaodengzi said, but they didn't hear a word of the previous words.

Seya stepped forward and immediately stopped him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about on such a joyous day? Hit yourself in the mouth right now, and don't say anything like that again. Do you understand?"

"That's right." Little Swallow came skipping over to the stool. "Did you hear me? Don't say anything about life or death."

Xiao Dengzi looked at his princess and princess with a look of grievance, then looked at Princess Seya. When he was about to defend himself, he was interrupted by Princess Seya again.

"Well, don't try to quibble. It's wrong to say something unlucky like that on a day like this. Good days require auspicious words," Seya said with mock seriousness. "Like, 'Grow old together...' and 'Holding hands with you...' Oh, I can't remember."

Seeing that Seya hadn't finished her words, Xiaoyanzi quickly spoke up, "It's to hold your hand and grow old with you."

"Yes, yes, yes." Seya nodded with a smile, "That's exactly what I said."

now.

Qing'er looked at Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, and Seya and said, "I won't bother you for now. There are still many things I need to arrange in Cining Palace."

"Okay." Ziwei nodded with a smile.

However, Xiaoyanzi happily pulled Qing'er with one hand, and held Xiao Jian's arm with the other, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, let me take you out. It's just right that I'm taking my brother to Kunning Palace."

When Xiao Jian heard that Xiao Yanzi was going to take him to Kunning Palace, his face darkened slightly.

"Brother, the Empress Dowager had previously asked me to take you to meet her, but something happened later, so we never had the chance to meet her," Xiaoyanzi explained. "She's very curious about you."

After hearing this, Ziwei suddenly looked at Xiaoyanzi meaningfully and said, "Indeed, it's time to bring Xiaojian to meet the Empress Dowager. After all, we will become a family in the future. Don't you agree, Xiaoyanzi?"

Qing'er lowered her head shyly and said nothing.

Instead, Xiaoyanzi smiled and responded, "Of course not. After our wedding is successfully concluded, I will take my brother to meet Mr. Lafayette and introduce him to her solemnly."

……

Jingfu Palace.

A while ago, since returning from the Southern Tour.

Xia Yingying was arranged to live in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

At the beginning, the emperor would come and stay overnight every night.

But the emperor didn't come these days, so today Xia Yingying quietly sent the eunuchs in the palace to secretly go to the Jingshifang to ask about it.

"Here they come." Nanny Zhang from the palace staggered in excitedly. "The eunuch we sent out has returned with news."

When Xia Yingying saw Nanny Zhang stumbling in from outside, she quickly stood up and supported Nanny Zhang.

Xia Yingying actually respects this Aunt Zhang very much.

After all, she had just entered the palace, and Nanny Zhang was quite caring towards her, and she had once served the old empress dowager.

"Madam, what did they say?" Xia Yingying looked at Madam Zhang expectantly. "What did the Imperial Household Department say?"

Nanny Zhang replied respectfully, "The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department said that the Emperor and Empress have been busy arranging the engagement between Princess Huanzhu and Princess Mingzhu, so the Emperor hasn't summoned anyone to his bedchamber these past few days."

After hearing what Nanny Zhang said, Xia Yingying breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion. It turned out that she was busy with the engagement and that was why she didn't come.

Xia Yingying closed the door and pulled Aunt Zhang to her side. "Aunt Zhang, please help me think of a way to move me out of Gyeongbokgung Palace."

"Xia Chengzi, you're... you're making things difficult for me."

Aunt Zhang was startled.

How could she have the final say on such matters?

Besides, she is just a slave, what can she do?

Seeing that Nanny Zhang looked embarrassed, Xia Yingying decided not to make things difficult for her.

"Madam Zhang, when is the engagement date for the princess and the princess?" Xia Yingying suddenly looked up at Madam Zhang. "I'll find an opportunity to show up then."

When Aunt Zhang saw that her family had agreed, she seemed very excited.

She opened her mouth but swallowed the words back.

Seeing Nanny Zhang's hesitation, Xia Yingying said disappointedly, "I know I come from a poor background. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Ling don't like me, and the Empress Dowager looks down on me even more. So I must find a way to please them."

"yes……"

Aunt Zhang nodded.

"Madam," Xia Yingying whispered, "If you think about it, I've been assigned to live in Gyeongbokgung Palace. Even if the Emperor likes me now, he has to deal with government affairs every day, and Gyeongbokgung Palace is far from the Yangxin Palace. He'll get bored after a while, so I must find another way out for myself."

Seeing her hesitate for a moment, Aunt Zhang said, "The engagement is tomorrow, but even if you come up with a good idea, it's too late."

"It's okay, there's still time."

When Xia Yingying heard that the engagement was tomorrow, she quickly looked at Aunt Zhang and ordered, "Aunt, please get me some red and gold paper, and two lanterns."

"What do you want these for at this time?"

Aunt Zhang looked at her in surprise.

Xia Yingying looked at Aunt Zhang mysteriously without explaining.

"Go quickly, it will be of great use."
