My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Chapter 18 Idioms about Swallows

for a long time.

Qing'er couldn't hold it in any longer and asked before Erkang could even speak: "Erkang, are you in love with Princess Mingzhu?"

"That's not true." Erkang quickly denied that he liked Ziwei and looked at Qing'er with embarrassment, "Why do you ask that?"

The words fell.

Erkang felt that the air around him began to become heavy.

However, at this moment, Qing'er suddenly laughed inexplicably, and her silver bell-like laughter spread all around.

"You still say no? We grew up together, how could I not know what you're thinking? Besides, even Qiao'er beside me has noticed something, let alone me."

Qing'er hates it most when people lie to her.

Especially Erkang.

Although Qing'er has no romantic feelings for Erkang, after all, she and Erkang grew up together, so how could she not know what he is thinking?

"Qing'er." Erkang approached Qing'er and lowered his head and asked softly, "Could it be that my expression is so obvious?"

Qing'er looked at Erkang with some displeasure, pouting and complaining, "It's so obvious that even a blind person can sense it, okay?"

"No way? Does anyone else know about this besides you?"

Erkang's face was full of surprise.

Is it true that my feelings for Ziwei are so obvious?

He had been very careful to restrain himself, and even Ertai and Yongqi didn't know about it, but in the end it was Qing'er who pointed it out first.

He scratched his head shyly and blushed.

When Qing'er saw Erkang like this, she just smiled slightly.

After all, I was overthinking it.

At first she thought Erkang had not realized that he fell in love with Mingzhu Gege, but now it seems that he has realized it a long time ago, but has just hidden this love in his heart temporarily.

"I don't know about the others." Qing'er continued, "But you hid it quite well. You didn't even tell us."

"Well, I'm not sure how she feels about me."

Erkang said softly.

That shy look is just like that of a girl.

Qing'er changed the subject: "What on earth do you want to talk to me about? Do you want me to help you test Mingzhu Gege's thoughts?"

Erkang was so scared when he heard Qing'er's words that he quickly shook his head.

"Good Qing'er, I don't want to let her know so soon." Erkang said, "I want to find a suitable opportunity to tell her in person."

Qing'er nodded, thought for a moment, and then reminded him, "But you have to hurry. You know that the old Buddha has been trying to bring us together all along. He just asked me what I think of you. So I'm worried that before you can express your feelings to Princess Mingzhu, the old Buddha will be eagerly preparing our wedding."

Erkang was instantly panicked.

I thought to myself, I really need to hurry up.

Otherwise, if things really turn out as Qing'er said, it would be too late.

"Qing'er, I know what's going on. Thank you for telling me. But by the way, how did you answer the Old Buddha?" Erkang was a little curious about what kind of person he was in Qing'er's heart.

Qing'er deliberately said, "You came just when I was about to say something, and I didn't even have the chance to say anything bad about you in front of the old lady."

Erkang didn't know what to say for a moment, but stood there for a long time before he slowly spoke again: "Actually, I didn't come to you for anything serious. It's because Yongqi wants to compile a collection of idioms for Xiaoyanzi. It made Ertai, Mingzhu and I so confused that we don't know what to do."

"A complete collection of idioms?"

Qing'er opened her mouth and felt puzzled.

Does Yongqi feel that he has been too idle these days?

Why would you want to compile a collection of idioms for no reason?

"Come with me to Shufangzhai first. I guess Shufangzhai is in chaos now."

Erkang couldn't wait to take Qing'er and continue walking towards Shufangzhai.

When the two of them arrived.

Ertai and Yongqi were laughing so hard that they were out of breath. Even the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace were laughing so hard that they rolled on the ground.

"Oh, you... why are you all lying on the ground?" Qing'er exclaimed as she looked at the people rolling on the ground.

The maids and eunuchs were laughing so hard that they had no strength left in their bodies at this moment, but when they recalled the scene where the Fifth Prince and Master Ertai were teaching Xiaoyanzi to read idioms, they could not help laughing.

So everyone had to roll on the ground while greeting Qing'er.

"Alright, alright, stop greeting." Qing'er waved her hands. She didn't care about their greetings. "What happened to make you all laugh like this?"

When Ziwei saw Qing'er coming, she ran up to her and took her arm as if she had seen a rescuer, saying, "Qing'er, Erkang finally invited you here. If you hadn't come, I would have been lying on the ground crying for help."

Qing'er followed Ziwei into the house and saw Xiaoyanzi holding a book seriously. The four big words "Collection of Idioms" were written on the outermost cover.

Yongqi and Erkang Ertai followed behind, trying hard to suppress their laughter.

But the moment the three of them saw Xiaoyanzi, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

There were bursts of laughter in the room.

"Can you all stop laughing at me?" Xiaoyanzi angrily put the collection of idioms on the desk, then stood up angrily and walked over to them.

Erkang was already laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight, but he still didn't forget to tease Xiaoyanzi, "Xiaoyanzi, Xiaoyanzi, what Qing'er said before was right, you really are a happy person. How come a perfectly good four-character idiom becomes so out of place when it comes out of your mouth?"

"Non-sensory? Why are you saying these four words I don't understand again? Can't you say something I can understand?"

The little swallow stamped her feet anxiously.

I thought to myself, why does this guy always say four-character idioms that I have never heard of? It really makes me angry.

"You all bully me because I'm uneducated."

Xiaoyanzi looked at Yongqi and Ertai, then turned to look at Ziwei. She found that Ziwei was actually laughing with them, and even laughed more and more vigorously. She simply laughed along, "Alright, alright, you guys can laugh if you want. Anyway, Qing'er said that I am the happy pill in this palace, so I don't care."

Qing'er still looked confused.

So she walked to the desk, picked up the idiom encyclopedia and gave it a quick look. She found that although the idioms were classified in detail, there were many characters that Xiaoyanzi did not recognize.

That's why Xiaoyanzi pronounced the idiom in a weird way.

Qing'er walked over to everyone with the idiom collection and said with a smile, "Well, I just took a quick look. It's not entirely Xiaoyanzi's fault that she mispronounced these idioms. The most important thing now is to let Xiaoyanzi learn the characters first. I think it's normal for her to mispronounce them since she doesn't know many characters."

"That's right, that's right."

Xiaoyanzi nodded repeatedly after hearing Qing'er's words.

At this moment.

Yongqi, Kangertai and Ziwei all stopped.

Ziwei took the idiom collection from Qing'er and found that there were indeed many words that Xiaoyanzi did not recognize.

Just now, I was so busy explaining the meaning of each idiom to Xiaoyanzi that I forgot what Qing'er had just said.

"I think what Qing'er said makes a lot of sense." Ziwei nodded. "We are really forcing things to happen right now. Since Xiaoyanzi wants to study hard, we should also teach her in a targeted way."

Erkang and Ertai looked at each other and then turned their attention to Yongqi.

Yongqi quickly understood what the two brothers meant when he saw their looks, but suddenly frowned again.

Ertai felt that this was a good opportunity for him to show off in front of Xiaoyanzi. He excitedly stepped forward, walked over to Xiaoyanzi and said, "Leave this task to me."

Since entering the palace, Xiaoyanzi has loved playing with Ertai the most.

Unfortunately, Ertai could not enter the palace anytime and anywhere.

Every time I can only wait for Ertai to come to Shufangzhai to find me.

But whenever Ertai came, Yongqi would follow him, like a follower that couldn't be driven away.

"Ertai, you will be the one teaching me from now on," Xiaoyanzi immediately followed up Ertai's words, "but you will have to work hard to come to Shufangzhai every day."

Seeing this, Yongqi immediately said, "Why bother Ertai? He rarely comes to the palace. Leave this matter to me."
