My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"no problem."

Xiaoyanzi was in a good mood and had a bright smile on her face.

Ertai placed the chessboard on the table, and then carefully placed one of the jars of chess pieces in front of Xiaoyanzi.

"Ertai, you have to play well and never give in to me. When we played chess before, Ziwei always gave in to me." Xiaoyanzi pouted and looked at Ziwei happily, then supported her chin with her right hand and prepared to start playing chess.

Ertai looked at the cute little swallow in front of him. Her big, lively eyes were twinkling and there was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ertai felt a ripple in his heart silently, perhaps this was what it felt like to be loved.

At this moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slowly reached towards Xiaoyanzi's forehead. His fingertips lightly touched the strands of hair on her forehead, and he pushed them behind her ear. He said modestly, "I'm afraid my chess skills are not as good as yours."

"You're the one who said that. If I lose, just wait and see how I'll deal with you."

Xiaoyanzi raised her head slightly and looked at Ertai.

"Cough cough."

Jealous Wang Yongqi coughed heavily.

Ertai quickly withdrew his hand after hearing Yongqi's cough. "Alright, alright, Xiaoyanzi, let's play chess. Let me see if your chess skills have improved recently."

Xiaoyanzi gently scratched the tip of her nose with her thumb and said, "I guarantee that your jaw will drop in surprise."

Ertai and Yongqi played chess with Xiaoyanzi until noon, so they called Erkang to stay in Shufangzhai for lunch before leaving reluctantly.

After eating and drinking, the little swallow stretched lazily.

I played chess with Ertai Yongqi for such a long time today. Ertai also taught me a lot of new words afterwards. I am really tired.

She couldn't help but yawn and lay down on the table to rest.

"Xiaoyanzi, don't fall asleep." Ziwei sat next to Xiaoyanzi and leaned against her affectionately. "Do you feel that Ertai and Yongqi seem to be acting strangely today?"

Xiaoyanzi tilted her head and looked at Ziwei nonchalantly and said, "Really? Why don't I feel that way?"

"Xiaoyanzi, I found that they both seem to like you." Ziwei pursed her lips and looked at Xiaoyanzi seriously.

When Xiaoyanzi heard Ziwei's words, she was completely shocked. She opened her mouth wide and didn't say anything. She even didn't dare to believe what Ziwei said.

"What did you say? How could they possibly like me?" Xiaoyanzi was stunned for a long time before she slowly spoke, "Are you mistaken? I'm Xiaoyanzi, I can't even read a single word. Besides, Ertai and Yongqi's identities are exactly the same as mine."

Ziwei reached out and held Xiaoyanzi's hand. "Xiaoyanzi, to be honest, I've noticed they've been particularly attentive to your affairs lately. Besides, haven't you noticed? Ertai particularly likes to touch your head. How could a man be so kind to a woman?"

After hearing this, Xiaoyanzi immediately frowned and fell into deep thought. She carefully recalled what had happened between her, Yongqi and Ertai during this period, and couldn't help but ponder it in her heart.

But after a while, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Like me? Impossible." Xiaoyanzi waved her hands, still not taking Ziwei's words to heart. "Have you forgotten? When we were in the slum, Liu Qing treated me the same way. He liked to touch my head all the time, but Liu Qing just treated me like his own sister, and I treated Liu Qing like a brother."

Ziwei looked at Xiaoyanzi's reaction and said nothing more, but she still felt something was wrong.

The next time she meets Erkang, she will ask him privately for his opinion. After all, Erkang and Ertai are brothers, and he has spent a lot of time with Yongqi, so he must know something.

"Then...what do you think of these two?" Ziwei looked around and found that she and Xiaoyanzi were the only ones in the room, so she quickly asked in a low voice.

Xiaoyanzi smiled and said, "Well, I just treat them as brothers." When she said this, Xiaoyanzi suddenly frowned.

Ziwei saw Xiaoyanzi frowning and tried again, "If they both invite you to play together, who will you agree to?"

"Then I would definitely choose Ertai." Xiaoyanzi answered without hesitation.

Ziwei continued, "Why don't you think about it before answering me."

"This still requires..."

Just as Xiaoyanzi was about to continue speaking, Mingyue and Caixia ran in with new clothes they had just brought from the Imperial Household Department.

"Girl, girl, the new clothes are ready. Come over here and try them on to see if they fit you." Mingyue and Caixia unfolded the new clothes respectively. "If they don't fit, we can go to the Imperial Household Department and have them make alterations."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei took the clothes and put them on quickly.

They admired each other's clothes.

"This dress is so beautiful. Not only is the color nice, but the pattern on it also looks lifelike." Caixia praised after helping Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei tidy up their clothes.

Mingyue packed up the remaining fabric and put it in the house. She came out and said with a smile, "There's still a lot of fabric left. When the season changes, we'll have the people from the Imperial Household Department come over to take your measurements and make you two some summer clothes."

"No need. Xiaoyanzi and I couldn't wear all the clothes that the Empress and Concubine Ling sent us last time. Let's not trouble the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Ziwei remembered that there were several new sets of clothes in the closet that she had not had time to wear, so she quickly stopped him. Besides, there was no need for so many clothes.

"That's right, don't bother yourself."

Xiaoyanzi also echoed.

Jinsuo, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Miss, Xiaoyanzi, I've seen some princesses change their clothes twice a day, but you two always wear the same outfits over and over again. Besides, we have extra fabric now, enough to make new clothes, so why don't you do it?"

As Jinsuo spoke, she felt sorry for her young lady. It was okay for her to have no money and no new clothes to wear outside the palace.

But now that he has successfully entered the palace and recognized his relatives, why are he still so reluctant to let go?

Besides, don’t girls all like to dress themselves up beautifully and wish to have new clothes to wear every day?

But the young lady is still as frugal as before.

Seeing Jinsuo pouting, Ziwei knew what she was thinking and started jokingly, "Jinsuo, don't be like that. Don't you understand what kind of person I am? I have so many clothes that I really can't wear them all. Do you think I'm a supernatural being?"

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of laughter came from the room.

Xiaoyanzi held her belly and laughed: "Ziwei, I didn't expect you to be so humorous."

"But..." Jinsuo looked at Xiaoyanzi hesitantly and then at her young lady. When she was about to continue speaking, she was interrupted by her young lady.

Ziwei held Xiaoyanzi's hand and said, "Xiaoyanzi, it suddenly occurred to me that we haven't been back to the compound since we entered the palace. How about we find some time to go back and make some new clothes for the people in the compound?"
