My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Inside Jingyang Palace.

Since Zhihua came back, she has been staying in her room all day.

Yongqi came straight into the room after returning from the morning court session and saw Zhihua sitting in front of the dressing table again, patiently carving on a comb with a carving knife.

Yongqi approached Zhihua curiously, picked up one of the combs and began to study it. However, he found a lifelike flower carved on the back of the comb.

"Zhihua." Yongqi asked curiously, "What kind of flower is carved on it? I've never seen it before."

Zhihua lowered her head and continued to carve patiently, "This is a crape myrtle. After I finish carving the swallow pattern on this comb, I will color the pattern together."

Yongqi held the comb and looked at it carefully from front to back for a long time before putting it down.

He slowly walked to the bed, took off his coat, and then lay down on the bed.

When the emperor was in court today, he talked about a lot of things and asked me many questions in front of so many people. Although I answered them one by one, I just responded in a perfunctory manner.

Yongqi sighed deeply and then pinched his eyebrows with his hands. Then he stretched and yawned.

"Zhihua, how did you suddenly remember to carve a pattern on the comb yourself?" Yongqi suddenly asked, "If you want one, just ask someone to go to the Imperial Household Department and let them know. They have plenty of beautiful combs there."

The voice just fell.

Zhihua's hand suddenly trembled, and the carving knife accidentally cut a deep cut on her finger, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Nanny Gui, who had just walked in from the door, saw this situation and quickly put down the things in her hands. Then she walked forward quickly, took out a handkerchief and held her wife's hand tightly.

"Fujin, why...why is there so much blood suddenly?" Nanny Gui asked anxiously.

"Madam Gui, I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy and accidentally cut my finger. Please bandage it for me."

Zhihua said while enduring the pain.

Yongqi, who was originally lying in bed resting, heard that Zhihua's finger was injured. He immediately got up from the bed and came to Zhihua's side. Then he took out gauze from the medicine box and carefully bandaged Zhihua's hand.

"Yongqi, thank you." Zhihua said with her head down.

"Zhihua, why are you saying thank you?" Yongqi packed up his things and returned to his seat. "Don't carve the comb for now. It won't be too late to carve it after the wound heals."

Zhihua pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'm going to give these two combs to Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi. I didn't give them any gifts when they got married..." Zhihua paused here before continuing, "Also, what happened in Yanxi Palace last time was all my fault. I plan to take this opportunity to formally apologize to Xiaoyanzi and hope she can forgive me for what I did."

Yongqi was inexplicably moved when he heard Zhihua's words. He nodded and said, "It's great that you think so."

"Yongqi, you should go and rest." Zhihua stood up and walked to the dressing table. She picked up the carving knife again and began to carve patiently. "I have to hurry up. After I finish carving, there are still several steps to go."

three days later.

Zhihua asked Nanny Gui to put the two combs she had made earlier into two exquisite brocade boxes.

When Yongqi came back, Zhihua hurried to greet him.

She held Yongqi's hands tightly and said, "Yongqi, Yongqi, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"What's wrong?" Yongqi was confused by this question.

"I want you to accompany me to the Bachelor's Residence, is that okay?" Zhihua turned around and glanced at the two brocade boxes in Nanny Gui's hands. "The combs are ready. I want to go to the Bachelor's Residence in person and give them to Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi."

Yong Qi was slightly stunned before he refused, "Oh, it won't be too late to give the gifts to Xiaoyanzi and Ertai when they come to the palace together next time. Why bother coming all this way in person?"

Zhihua waited for Yongqi to finish and quickly continued, "Yongqi, what's the matter? Before, when I told you to go to the Bachelor's Mansion, you ran faster than anyone else, but now you refuse to go..." Zhihua paused and then continued, "Or maybe you don't want to go with me. If you don't want to go with me, then I'll have to let Nanny Gui accompany me to the Bachelor's Mansion."

When Zhihua said this, she deliberately showed an aggrieved look on her face. She knew that Yongqi would definitely agree when he saw her like this.

The result was exactly as she expected.

Yongqi took a deep breath and then agreed.

At this moment, Zhihua still frowned and looked at Yongqi deliberately and said, "Yongqi, it's okay, I'll go by myself."

Seeing this, Yongqi quickly said, "After lunch, I'll accompany you to the Scholar's Mansion."

"Really?" Zhihua smiled immediately after hearing Yongqi's words, "Thank you, Yongqi."

Had lunch.

Yongqi accompanied Zhihua and set off for the Bachelor's Mansion.

When we arrived at the Bachelor's Mansion, Rong An and Rong Hua were just at the door.

"Fifth Prince, Fifth Lady." Rong An was the first to run up to greet them. "Why are you two here? Let me take you in."

Yongqi jumped out of the carriage and waited for Zhihua.

Zhihua supported Nanny Gui's hand and got off the carriage.

Then he asked Nanny Gui to quickly take the brocade box that had been prepared in advance.

"Zhihua, let's go in quickly." Yongqi said as he walked inside, then turned to look at Rong'an and asked, "Where are your eldest and second young masters? Hurry and ask them to come out to greet me."

After hearing this, Rong An immediately yelled at Rong Hua.

Ronghua ran inside.

Within a moment.

Erkang, Ertai and Xiaoyanzi came out from inside.

When Xiaoyanzi saw Zhihua following Yongqi, she immediately restrained her smile from ear to ear.

Yongqi naturally noticed the change in Xiaoyanzi's expression and asked, "Xiaoyanzi, what's wrong? From the look on your face, it seems like you don't welcome Zhihua and me. If you really don't welcome the two of us, then we have no choice but to go back."

Xiaoyanzi waved her hands and smiled awkwardly, "How could that be? Why wouldn't I welcome you?"
