My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"My daughter has no objection. It is my daughter's honor to study in the Shangshufang with all my brothers and sisters." Ziwei bowed slightly, "Thank you, Father Emperor, for your grace."

The old lady looked at Ziwei with satisfaction, feeling very relieved. Then she took Qing'er's hand and said, "From now on, an old woman like me will also have a left and right hand."

Qing'er asked suspiciously, "Master Buddha, Qing'er doesn't understand what you mean. Can you explain the reason?"

The old lady did not directly answer Qing'er's question.

Instead, he took Qing'er to Ziwei, held Ziwei's hand, and stacked their hands together.

At this moment, the old lady just regarded herself as a grandmother in an ordinary family, not an old lady who would kneel down and kowtow to anyone who saw her.

She looked at Ziwei and Qing'er with great joy and said slowly, "Qing'er, look at the emperor's right and left hands, they are the brothers Yongqi and Erkang Ertai. I, an old woman, envy them so much that I also want to have a right and left hand. But now, my right and left hands are Qing'er and Ziwei."

After hearing what the old Buddha said, Qing'er responded with a smile, "Old Buddha, you have more than just Ziwei and I as your right-hand men. Have you forgotten that there is another happy person in our palace?"

In fact, just when the old lady said that she and Ziwei were the right and left hands, she had already noticed that Xiaoyanzi kept her head down and remained silent, looking depressed.

Qing'er guessed that Xiaoyanzi must be unhappy because the old lady didn't mention her.

"Qing'er, what you said makes me a little confused."

Lafayette felt a little curious.

Qing'er waved at Xiaoyanzi. "How could you have forgotten Xiaoyanzi? Could it be that the last time Qing'er told you Xiaoyanzi's story, you didn't find it interesting?"

When the old lady saw this, she suddenly realized.

The last time Qing'er came back from Kunning Palace, she told me everything that happened to Xiaoyanzi outside the palace, which made me laugh so hard that I couldn't stop smiling.

Even everyone in the Cining Palace was laughing so hard that they fell down.

"Oh, you all, look at my memory." The old lady also waved at Xiaoyanzi, "How could I forget Xiaoyanzi? Xiaoyanzi is really my happy pill."

Xiaoyanzi quickly understood what Old Buddha meant, so she hurried forward and took Old Buddha's hand, "Old Buddha, if you want to hear my stories in the future, just ask someone to come to me anytime, anywhere. Storytelling is what I'm best at, as long as you don't mind."

"Swallow, oh Swallow, what are you talking about? How could I dislike you? I wish you would come to the Cining Palace to see me every day."

The old lady raised her hand and gently stroked Xiaoyanzi's head.

Everyone chatted for a long time in the Qianqing Palace.

Until Karl Lagerfeld yawned.

Everyone tactfully prepared to return to the palace to rest.

Ziwei felt that today was the first day for her and Jinsuo to enter the palace. She wanted to stay with Concubine Ling to learn about the palace etiquette and become familiar with the palace environment, so as not to make a fool of herself in front of outsiders in the future.

"Xiaoyanzi, I'm sorry." Ziwei guiltily held Xiaoyanzi's hand and said, "Jinsuo and I can't accompany you today. Let's talk after we move to Shufangzhai tomorrow."

"Okay." Xiaoyanzi nodded and followed the Queen back to Kunning Palace.

After returning to Kunning Palace.

Xiaoyanzi still looked depressed.

Madam Rong sent a young eunuch to talk to Xiaoyanzi.

But no matter what the young eunuch said or did, she still looked uninterested in anything. She leaned limply against the crabapple tree, looking exactly like a scallion wilted by the sun.

"Xiaoyanzi, what's wrong with you?" Rong Mama poured a glass of cold water from her room and came to Xiaoyanzi, handing the cup to her. "Are you tired after such a long morning? Drink some water and relax."

Xiaoyanzi took a look at the cup handed to her by Rong Mama, then took it from her without saying a word and drank the water in the cup.

She looked at the empty cup in her hand, then raised her hand and wiped the water stains on the corner of her mouth without caring about her image. If it weren't for Rong Mama bringing her water, she probably wouldn't have realized that she was so thirsty that she could drink from an entire water jar.

Seeing that Xiaoyanzi still seemed very thirsty, Rong Mama turned back and poured her another glass of water. Seeing that she drank the water in big gulps, Rong Mama asked, "Do you want more?"

Xiaoyanzi shook her head and continued to look down at the cup in her hand for a long time before she slowly said, "No, thank you, Aunt Rong."

"Just now I saw you sitting here alone, looking unhappy, but a few days ago, even with your injuries, I saw you cheerful. What's wrong with you today?" Rong Mama saw that she was still listless after drinking some water, "Is it because Princess Mingzhu is staying in the Yanxi Palace that you are unhappy?"

Xiaoyanzi paused and then shook her head.

She was not unhappy that Ziwei and Jinsuo were staying at Concubine Ling's house tonight.

"Madame Rong, is the Shangshufang that the emperor mentioned today only accessible to the royal family members like the princes and princesses?"

Xiaoyanzi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and blinked at Rong Mama beside her.

Aunt Rong nodded seriously and replied, "Yes, and the teacher in the Shangshufang is Master Ji Xiaolan. His knowledge and culture are among the best."

Xiaoyanzi felt a little depressed.

She was about to say something, but she swallowed the words back as they were on the tip of her tongue. She felt that her knowledge was probably not even as good as that of the maids and eunuchs in the palace.

Xiaoyanzi sighed heavily and said, "Ziwei is so lucky to be able to go to the Shangshufang to study with Master Ji."

After listening for a long time, Rong Mama finally understood what Xiaoyanzi meant and asked tentatively with a smile, "Do you also want to go to the Shangshufang to study?"

Xiaoyanzi didn't expect that Rong Mama had guessed what she was thinking. She bit her lips lightly and nodded slightly.

“It would be nice if I could go too.”

After Xiaoyanzi finished speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly.

She was well aware of her own status, which was far inferior to those princes and princesses in the palace.

Now it is a great blessing for her to be able to enter the palace.

But in the final analysis, she still envied Ziwei for being able to study in the Shangshufang. However, Ziwei was a princess, the emperor's biological daughter, so it was natural for Ziwei to go to study.

"Well, learning is not an easy thing." Rong Mama could see that Xiaoyanzi really wanted to go to the Shangshufang, so she persuaded her, "And it won't be learned in a day or two. It requires long-term persistence."
