My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"But how can we take dreams seriously?" Rong Mama held the Queen's hand and strolled in the yard.

"You're right. Dreams shouldn't be taken seriously. But you know that the Empress Dowager is very particular about background. Now that Xiaoyanzi has entered the palace, for safety's sake, we should first investigate Xiaoyanzi's background. We should even do it before Concubine Ling."

After saying that.

A smile suddenly lit up the queen's face.

I will never let Concubine Ling ride on my head again in this life.

In the previous life, Concubine Ling always took pride in having given birth to several children for the emperor. She even tried to put herself down on a daily basis. She even liked to gossip in front of the emperor and the Empress Dowager, making herself unpopular both internally and externally.

The queen felt inexplicably angry when she thought of this.

"By the way, didn't you just say that the Fifth Prince compiled a collection of idioms for Xiaoyanzi and was going to teach her idioms?" The Queen turned her head and looked at Rong Mama.

Rong Mama nodded and said, "Well, Xiaoyanzi was very unhappy a while ago about Mingzhu Gege being able to study in the Shangshufang. But the most surprising thing is that the Fifth Prince was willing to put aside his status as a prince to teach Xiaoyanzi. If it were someone else, they would definitely not be happy to go."

"Yes."

The Queen walked to the stone table and sat down before speaking again: "But Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi are not suitable."

"I think so too, but I think the second young master of the Fu family is very nice to Xiaoyanzi. They often talk and laugh together." Aunt Rong smiled.

The queen also laughed.

If Xiaoyanzi could be with Ertai.

I'm afraid this is the best destination for Xiaoyanzi.

Next time, I must find an opportunity to test Ertai's opinion first. If Ertai is interested, then I can ask Xiaoyanzi. If the two young people have a good impression of each other, then this matter will be easy to handle.

"Go take the cold and warm jade chess pieces that the emperor sent a while ago from my room and send them to Shufangzhai. Say they're for Princess Mingzhu. Also, have the Imperial Household Department send a set of good study treasures and rice paper to Xiaoyanzi, and also send a few rolls of the latest satin."

"Your Highness, that cold and warm jade chess piece was specially given to you by His Highness. Why are you giving it away right away?"

There was reluctance in Rong Mama's tone.

Why would such a good thing be given away? Moreover, this cold and warm jade chess piece is a tribute. If the Emperor knew about it, I might be accused of looking down on the things sent by the Emperor.

The voice just fell.

The emperor's voice came from outside, "You want to give away all the things I gave you, then it will suit your wishes, right?" His tone was slightly serious with a hint of ridicule, and his face was full of smiles, and he didn't look angry at all.

However, after hearing what the emperor said, Rong Mama thought that the emperor was angry, and was so scared that she quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to kowtow.

"Stand up, don't kneel down all the time." The emperor raised his hand and walked past Rong Mama and went straight to the queen.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

The queen bowed, took the emperor's arm and walked into the house. She personally made tea for the emperor and asked the little palace maid to bring out some food.

The emperor took a piece of lotus cake and put it into his mouth to savor it for a while. "The desserts in the Queen's palace are really getting more and more delicious."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." The Queen looked at the Emperor happily, her heart already filled with joy.

The emperor took a sip of tea and continued, "Just now I heard that you were going to give the cold and warm jade chess piece away. Who are you planning to give it to?"

The Queen nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, I am not very good at playing chess. I have heard that Ziwei is very good at chess, so I would like to give this chess piece to Ziwei. If I keep such a good chess piece with me and don't play it often, wouldn't it be a waste of your Majesty's kindness?"

"Well, Ziwei does have her own unique insights into chess, and her chess skills are beyond doubt." The emperor rubbed his hands.

The queen raised her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on the emperor's face.

It can be seen that the emperor must be itching to try his hand at it.

"Your Majesty, I have a good idea right now."

The queen looked at the emperor mysteriously, but kept fiddling with the chess pieces in her hands.

This chess piece feels really cool in my hand.

I feel a little overwhelmed by the coolness now, but in summer this chess piece will become a good thing to cool down.

Seeing that the emperor remained silent, the empress continued, "How about you and I send the chess pieces to Shufangzhai right now? This way, I can learn the art of chess from your majesty, and then we can have a good sparring match in the future. What do you think?"

When the emperor heard the queen's words, his eyes immediately began to shine, or to put it bluntly, they were radiant.

He hasn't played chess properly for a long time.

The last time I played chess was the day before the hunt with that brat Lao Wu. I haven't played chess properly since then.

"Good idea, the Queen knows me best." The Emperor held the Queen's hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"Then let's set off now." The Queen turned to look at Aunt Rong, "Take the chess pieces with you quickly. As for the other things, have the eunuchs in the palace send them along."

"Yes, I obey."

In Shufangzhai.

Xiaoyanzi is still immersed in joy at this moment.

Ziwei sat quietly aside, flipping through the collection of idioms. She felt that since she wanted to teach Xiaoyanzi to learn idioms, she could not use the popular method.

Xiaoyanzi is lively and active, so it is impossible to ask her to calm down and study well.

If you can draw vivid and interesting pictures next to the idioms, it will not only make the idiom collection more colorful but also make Xiaoyanzi learn more attentively and with more interest.

"Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi."

The emperor walked into Shufangzhai with great interest, "I'm here to play chess with Ziwei."

The devilish laughter came from the yard into the house.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi stood up to greet them.

"My daughter pays her respects to the Emperor and Empress Dowager. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years to the Empress Dowager.

"Xiaoyanzi pays respects to the Emperor and Empress. May the Emperor be blessed with good fortune and the Empress be blessed with long life and good health."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei helped the Queen and the Emperor to sit down respectively.

"How come the Emperor and Empress are free to come to Shufangzhai today?" Ziwei asked. "Why didn't they send someone to inform us beforehand? Otherwise, Xiaoyanzi and I could make some sweet and sour snacks for you two to try."

When the queen saw Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi surrounding her and the emperor affectionately, she suddenly felt warm in her heart.

The Queen waved to Rong Mama and the eunuchs, then said, "I have prepared gifts for you two. Come and see if you like them."

When Xiaoyanzi heard that the Empress had gifts for her and Ziwei, she immediately came forward and said, "Wow, Empress, these gifts are so timely. Ertai was planning to come over in a few days to teach me how to read."
