My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

When Qiao'er saw that the man in black dared to cover her own princess's mouth with his hand, how could she tolerate someone treating her own princess like this.

She walked forward, hugged the man in black, opened her mouth and bit his waist hard.

"It's me, it's me." Xiao Jian quickly pulled off the cloth on his face. In order not to attract the soldiers, he had to endure the pain and whisper, "Princess Qing, it's me, Xiao Jian."

When Qing'er saw that the man in black was actually Xiao Jian, she quickly reached out and waved at Qiao'er, signaling her not to alarm anyone.

"Princess, who is he?" Qiao'er looked at Xiao Jian with eyes filled with anger and curiosity. "I'm going to find someone to arrest him right now. This guy is definitely not a good person. He broke into the Cining Palace once or twice."

After Qiao'er finished speaking, she immediately ran outside.

Seeing this, Qing'er quickly raised her hand and pushed Xiao Jian's hand away. She then caught up with Qiao'er, grabbed her arm, and said, "Qiao'er, he is Xiao Yanzi's brother, his name is Xiao Jian."

"Miss Xiaoyanzi's brother?" Qiao'er looked at her own princess in surprise. How come she had never heard that Miss Xiaoyanzi had a brother?

Qing'er pursed her lips and felt that it was really hard to explain this matter at the moment. After all, she was a little confused.

"Qiao'er, you go in and guard the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager wakes up, come out and inform me." Qing'er said softly. The Empress Dowager must not find out that Xiao Jian had trespassed into the Cining Palace. If the Empress Dowager knew about it, Xiao Jian would definitely be beaten.

After hearing Qing'er's words, Qiao'er pursed her lips, then walked in reluctantly. But after entering, she thought about it and felt a little uneasy, so Qiao'er took a cloak and put it on her own princess.

"Princess, please let me stay at the door." Qiao'er's eyes fell on the man named Xiao Jian. She always felt that this man was weird, and she was not at ease letting her princess be alone with him.

What if... what if this man has other thoughts about my princess? That would be terrible.

You will be in trouble if the time comes.

Qing'er couldn't do anything to Qiao'er, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be good for Qiao'er to accompany her. "Go in and make two cups of tea."

Xiao Jian saw the little girl turn around and leave.

He looked at Qing'er with an apologetic look on his face, "My name is Xiao Jian, please forgive me, Princess Qing."

"Xiao Jian, is Xiaoyanzi okay?" Qing'er continued, "I can't believe Xiaoyanzi was injured while trespassing in the enclosure a while ago. She'd just recovered and suffered this kind of misfortune again. Those two beasts deserve to be hacked into pieces."

Xiao Jian looked at Qing'er and replied with a smile, "After you left, Ziwei and Jinsuo personally brought her porridge and some refreshing side dishes. Perhaps it was because she hadn't eaten in the past few days, so after finishing such a large bowl of porridge, she actually complained that it wasn't enough."

As Xiao Jian spoke, he gestured to show the size of the bowl used to hold the porridge.

Qing'er suddenly burst out laughing as she listened. She picked up her handkerchief and covered her mouth with it. "Oh, Xiaoyanzi is so cute. But hearing you say that, I feel relieved. In fact, I have been feeling very nervous since I came back last night."

Xiao Jian saw a warm smile on Qing'er's face.

Such a smile is so healing.

At this moment his heart was about to melt.

Xiao Jian's eyes met Qing'er's for a long time, neither of them moving away.

It was not until Qiao'er came out of the house with tea that they realized how rude their behavior was.

Xiao Jian lowered his head and took two steps back, keeping a distance from Qing'er.

"Princess, the tea is here." Qiao'er placed two cups of freshly brewed tea on the stone table. She frowned at Xiao Jian and said unhappily, "After drinking the tea, please leave here on your own accord. Also, please don't tell anyone that you were in the Cining Palace after you leave, lest you ruin our princess's reputation."

Xiao Jian smiled awkwardly and said nothing else.

Qing'er knew Qiao'er said this for her own good, so she didn't blame her. Then she looked at Xiao Jian and asked, "Xiao Jian, you must have something special to tell me by coming to the Cining Palace so late at night, right?"

Xiao Jian nodded and said, "Xiaoyanzi and Ertai are planning to make a kite at the Bachelor's Mansion tomorrow. After Xiaoyanzi recovers, we plan to go for an outing in the suburbs, so I wanted to ask if you would like to go."

"Make kites and go for an outing?" Qing'er's eyes lit up when she heard Xiao Jian say that they would make kites in the Bachelor's Mansion tomorrow. Just as she was about to answer Xiao Jian, she hesitated.

Xiao Jian saw Qing'er's melancholy look but couldn't bear to expose her. "Qing'er, if it's not convenient for you tomorrow, I'll tell them then."

Xiao Jian knew that no one in the deep palace could come and go freely like those outside the palace.

They have to think carefully about where they want to go and what they want to do.

But...but he really hoped she could go with him.

Qing'er said, "I'll talk to the old lady tomorrow. If she agrees, I'll come out right away."

"Really?" Xiao Jian felt much better when he heard Qing'er say that.

"You don't want me to go?" Qing'er suddenly joked, but her cheeks began to redden. She lowered her head and said, "If... if you don't want me to go, then I won't go."

Xiao Jian quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no, I didn't mean that."

Say it.

Xiao Jian flipped over and jumped onto the edge of the wall.

Qing'er saw him move away from her in a flash, and looked at him in surprise as he stood steadily on the edge of the wall.

Xiao Jian looked at Qing'er happily and smiled at her, then disappeared into the night.

"Gege, he finally left." Qiao'er pursed her lips and said impatiently, "If he doesn't leave soon, I'll use a broom to make him leave."

Qing'er turned around and looked at Qiao'er, admonishing her, "I won't let you say such things again. At the very least, he's Xiaoyanzi's brother. Besides, Xiaoyanzi has been named Princess Huanzhu by the Emperor, and the Empress has adopted her as her adopted daughter. So, you better be careful with your words."

Qiao'er looked at her own princess with curiosity, "What kind of charm does this little swallow have that makes the current emperor and the empress like her so much?"

Qing'er ignored Qiao'er, turned around to look at her and walked into the inner room.

Seeing that her princess ignored her, Qiaoer continued to ask, "Princess, are you really going to the Bachelor's Mansion tomorrow?"

Qing'er nodded. "I really want to go. I hope that Master Buddha will agree tomorrow. You can also come with me tomorrow."
