My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Qiao'er bowed, smiled, turned around and walked into the house.

She first took out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the stone table. Then she went in and took out two lanterns and hung them up.

When she came out, she asked another maid to help her get a cloak for her daughter to put on. "It's just the beginning of spring, and the nights are cold and dewy. You'd better put on the cloak. If you catch a cold by accident, the old lady will be very worried."

Qing'er pulled her cloak closer and tied a bow on her chest. Then she walked to the stone table and started writing on the rice paper.

Xiao Jian sat on the roof, playing with the flute in his hand, and eavesdropping on their conversation.

Qiao'er stood aside and looked at the words her princess wrote on the rice paper carefully, praising her: "Princess, your handwriting is getting better and better."

"No way, you're just talking nonsense. My handwriting is still the same, but it's far worse than Erkang's." Qing'er said modestly.

After hearing this, Xiao Jian immediately turned his head to take a look at the words written by the woman, but his eyes fell squarely on her fair face.

This woman is simply beyond words.

She looks like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world.

Xiao Jian couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Princess, for some reason, Young Master Erkang has been constantly going to Shufangzhai with the Fifth Prince these past few days, but rarely comes to our Cining Palace." Qiao'er suddenly spoke up. "And I've noticed that Young Master Erkang and that Princess Mingzhu get along really well. They can talk about anything together."

After hearing this, Qing'er's hand, which was about to start writing, suddenly paused. The smile on her face gradually faded, the corners of her lips drooped slightly, and her heart seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of dark clouds.

But she quickly composed herself.

His original smile and confidence returned to his face.

"Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi both live in Shufangzhai now. They all like to go and play with them. Don't we also often go to visit Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi?" Qing'er smiled slightly.

"But Master Erkang was clearly very close to you before, but now he's running over there all day long. Don't you find it strange?"

Qiao'er curled her lips, feeling unhappy.

Although it's not my turn to take care of this kind of thing.

But after all, I still feel a little sad for my own princess.

After all, Master Erkang and the princess grew up together, and they were the golden boy and jade girl that everyone envied. However, the most important thing was that their marriage had already been decided.

But now, a girl named Princess Mingzhu has inexplicably come in between them. What is going on?

"So what?" Qing'er didn't mind. "Don't say these things anymore. Just do your job well."

"Princess, I'm just standing up for you, especially that Xiaoyanzi who's always making noises and doesn't act like a girl at all. Although we're really happy with her around, don't you think she's very noisy?" Qiao'er complained.

Xiao Jian vaguely heard them mention Xiao Yanzi's name, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

So he stood up and walked slowly forward a few steps along the edge of the roof, but he never expected that he would kick a medium-sized stone at his feet.

The pebbles rolled quickly to the ground and made a noise, which seemed particularly abrupt in such a quiet night.

Qiao'er heard stones rolling down from the roof and immediately stepped forward to protect her own princess behind her. With a serious expression, she shouted loudly, "Who is so reckless as to dare to attack the Cining Palace at night?"

Qing'er was frightened by Qiao'er's behavior and took two steps back.

now.

A breeze blew, causing the trees in the yard to rustle. A black kitten sleeping in the corner meowed softly and then ran quickly past them.

By the time the two of them reacted, the little black cat had already disappeared.

"Oh, it turns out to be a kitten." Qiao'er raised her hand and scratched the back of her head with an embarrassed look on her face.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Xiao Jian was about to sit down and rest, but his legs became numb and weak, perhaps because he had been squatting for too long, and he didn't have time to react at all. He rolled down from the roof and lay straight on the ground.

Qing'er and Qiao'er were so frightened by the person who suddenly appeared in front of them that they completely lost the ability to think. They just stood there in a daze, staring at the man lying on the ground.

After a long time.

Xiao Jian then struggled to get up from the ground, thinking that the name of this Hero Xiao might have to be changed.

"Who are you? How did you appear here?" Qiao'er looked at the man in front of her in astonishment. When she turned around and was about to shout loudly, she found that the man had already circled behind her and Gege and covered their mouths tightly with his hands. "Um... Um..."

Xiao Jian whispered, "Don't be afraid, ladies. I'm not a bad person. My name is Xiao Jian. I promise you, ladies, I won't hurt you as long as you don't scream."

After hearing this, Qing'er and Qiao'er immediately nodded heavily.

After that person lets go.

Qiao'er immediately placed herself in front of her princess, but her eyes remained fixed on the man. She asked, "Tell me, why are you here in the Cining Palace?"

"Miss, I don't mean to offend you. I came to the palace looking for someone, but the palace is so huge that I ended up here. I wanted to rest on the roof for a while before leaving, but I never expected to lose my balance and fall right off the roof."

Xiao Jian explained his purpose word by word.

Qiao'er didn't bother to pay attention and continued, "Stop talking so much nonsense. The person you're looking for is not here. You've come to the wrong place."

"I won't hide it anymore." Xiao Jian paused. "I vaguely overheard the conversation between the two girls just now, so I guess you should be Xiaoyanzi's friends, right?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Qing'er swallowed and asked.

"To be honest, ladies, the Little Swallow you're talking about is most likely my sister. So, could you please tell me which way to Shufangzhai, where Little Swallow lives?"

Qing'er looked at him in disbelief. She had never heard Xiaoyanzi mention that she had a brother in the past few days.

I just vaguely remember Xiaoyanzi saying that she was an orphan and her parents died when she was very young. As for why her parents died or even who else was in her family, she had long forgotten everything.

But now a brother suddenly appears out of nowhere.

"Why should I believe you?" Qing'er retorted, "Unless I can find a reason that convinces me."

The voice just fell.

The room where the old lady was was lit with a faint candlelight.

"Qing'er? Who are you talking to so late at night?"

The voice of the old lady came from the room.

Seeing this, Qing'er quickly turned around and walked towards the old lady's house, but the moment she entered the house, Qing'er suddenly stopped and looked back at the man named Xiao Jian.

But right now.

Qing'er felt her heart skip a beat.

But it soon returned to normal.

She had never felt this strange feeling from Erkang before.

"Qing'er?"

"Lord Buddha, here I come."
