My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

The Emperor pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "The King of Tibet came here with this intention, but it was put on hold because of Xiaoyanzi's matter. Now that Xiaoyanzi has been found, I would like to choose a good man from among the many outstanding men in our Qing Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I have a good candidate in mind."

The queen looked at the emperor seriously.

"Who is it? Queen, please tell me quickly." The emperor looked at the queen expectantly, "I am a little curious about the candidate you mentioned. I wonder who this man is from."

"This man is Shen Xiang, the youngest son of Concubine Ling's distant relative. I once had the honor of meeting him on the Empress Dowager's birthday. Shen Xiang is a handsome boy with extraordinary manners and graceful behavior. The most important thing is that his martial arts skills are even better than Erkang and Ertai." The Queen said word by word.

The emperor listened even more attentively.

"Empress, I will go to Concubine Ling after the morning court tomorrow. You should also arrange this matter as soon as possible so that the two children can meet each other." The emperor became happier and happier as he spoke, and his face was filled with smiles.

Seeing that the Emperor did not object to this, the Queen continued, "But I am worried that Concubine Ling will not agree. If the two children fall in love, then wouldn't Chen Xiang have to go to Tibet with them?"

After hearing the Queen's words, the Emperor waved his hands repeatedly. "Well, the King of Tibet said that Seya is a very independent child. If she wants to stay in Beijing, the King of Tibet will agree."

"That's good, that's good." The Queen patted her chest gently. "If that's the case, I'll do it with peace of mind."

Cining Palace.

After Qing'er came back from the Bachelor's Mansion, she seemed to have lost her soul. She tried to calm herself down, but her mind was always in a mess.

Even the cup that she was holding in her hand suddenly became heavy for some reason. Her hand suddenly loosened and the cup accidentally fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Seeing this, Qing'er quickly bent down to pick up the fragments, but her finger just scratched the edge of the fragments and bright red blood flowed out.

"Princess, please let me handle this little thing." Qiao'er saw that her princess's hand was cut and felt distressed. She looked into the inner room and found that the old lady had not been disturbed, so she whispered, "Princess, I will take you to get it bandaged first."

The old lady was sitting in the inner room preparing to rest. She didn't know Qing'er's finger was cut. She just heard the sound of something falling to the ground outside, so she asked, "Qing'er, what's wrong? Did you break something? Don't pick it up, let the servants clean it up."

"Yes, Lafayette."

Qing'er responded, then raised her eyes slightly and looked at Qiao'er.

Qiao'er looked at her own princess curiously and asked, "My dear princess, what's wrong with you today? You have been absent-minded since returning from the scholar's residence. Did Master Erkang say something to you?"

Qing'er did not respond to Qiao'er, but was thinking about other things.

Seeing that her princess didn't respond, Qiao'er continued to ask, "Princess, do you like Young Master Erkang?"

After hearing the words "Erkang" and "like", Qing'er finally reacted. She stared at Qiao'er with wide eyes and explained, "I don't like him. Besides, he also has a girl he likes. That girl is better and more beautiful than me."

"Princess, how could she be better and prettier than you? You are the most outstanding and beautiful woman in our Qing Dynasty."

Qiao'er knew who the woman her princess was talking about was. It was none other than Princess Mingzhu from Shufangzhai.

That princess is not as beautiful and outstanding as our own princess.

Moreover, her own princess was raised by the Empress Dowager herself.

As long as the princess tells the Empress Dowager a word, Master Erkang will become her husband.

"Princess, have you been unhappy because of this matter?" Qiao'er thought that her princess was sulking, so she said that she didn't like Master Erkang.

"Qiao'er, Erkang and I have already made things clear. I plan to go and tell the old lady my feelings tomorrow."

"Well, Qiao'er supports you. I think Master Erkang and you are the most suitable couple." Qiao'er smiled, "Please don't give Master Erkang away so easily."

When Qing'er heard Qiao'er's words, she knew that she had misunderstood what she meant. She raised her hand and gently tapped Qiao'er on the forehead.

Qiao'er covered her forehead with her hands and looked at her princess, "Princess, why did you hit me for no reason?"

"What on earth are you thinking about all day long?" Qing'er whispered, "Do you think I'm the kind of woman who won't marry anyone but Erkang? Besides, since Erkang already has a woman he truly loves, why should I get involved? Besides, can't I, Qing'er, find a better man than Erkang?"

After listening to what her princess said, Qiao'er looked at her thoughtfully.

But just when Qiao'er was about to speak.

There was suddenly a rustling sound in the courtyard of the Cining Palace.

Qing'er glanced at Qiao'er and said, "Go outside and see what the noise is."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Qiao'er trotted to the yard, looked around for a while but didn't find anything, "Gege, it's okay, it might be the cat from last time."

"Oh, then come in quickly."

Qing'er got up and walked into the old lady's room, and found that the old lady had already fallen asleep.

At this moment, Qiao'er came in with a basin of water from outside, ready to wipe her princess's face, "Princess, it's getting late, I'll take care of you and let you rest."

The voice just fell.

There was a rustling sound in the yard again, accompanied by the sound of small stones rolling down from the eaves.

After Qing'er and Qiao'er looked at each other for a moment, Qing'er plucked up the courage to walk into the yard.

"Princess, please don't go out. Let me go." Qiao'er held her princess's arm. "It would be bad if the cat hurt you."

Qing'er always felt that something was wrong. If it was a cat, why didn't it make any sound? Moreover, she had lived in the Cining Palace for so long, but she had never heard of any concubine in the nearby palaces keeping cats.

Besides, why does this cat have to come to the Cining Palace?

She winked at Qiao'er, and Qiao'er understood what her princess meant, so she quickly went in, got a broom, and followed her princess closely.

When Qing'er saw Qiao'er following her with a broom in her hand, she walked cautiously into the yard.

Just as Qing'er stepped out of the house, a dark shadow hiding not far away suddenly appeared in front of Qing'er.

Qing'er was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back.

At this moment, when Qing'er was about to open her mouth to scream, the man in black stepped forward and covered her mouth.

However, when Qiao'er, who was following behind, was about to raise the broom to hit the man in black, the man in black raised his hand and grabbed the broom that was swinging towards him.

"Don't talk, all of you."
