My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"Your Majesty, I will tell you the truth. In fact, I want you to grant me a marriage with Ziwei." Erkang looked at the emperor sincerely. He and Ziwei were truly in love. He wanted to stay by Ziwei's side forever to protect and love her.

Especially after what happened last night.

Erkang became more certain of his thoughts.

So he came to see Ziwei early this morning. Besides, he had already decided last night that he would ask the emperor for permission to grant him and Ziwei a marriage.

The emperor looked at Erkang solemnly, and was a little at a loss for a moment. He pretended to be calm and remained silent for a long time.

After all, the Empress Dowager had mentioned to her several times that she wanted to arrange for Erkang to be Qing'er's husband.

Although he had already roughly known the little thoughts of these young people, he began to feel a little embarrassed when the matter was suddenly placed in front of him. On one side was his daughter who had been lost and found, and on the other side was Qing'er, the most beloved by the Empress Dowager.

"Erkang, I need to think about this matter for a while." The emperor said solemnly, "Since you and Ziwei are here today, I might as well tell you."

"Father Emperor, don't listen to Erkang's nonsense. The relationship between him and me is not what you imagine." Ziwei suddenly said, "And... and I haven't decided to get married yet."

The emperor sighed slightly and continued, "Ziwei, don't be so hasty to refuse. Erkang is a responsible man. I believe he will be a responsible husband and father in the future. However, Erkang's marriage is not something I can decide unilaterally."

Not long after the emperor finished speaking, the Empress Dowager slowly walked in from outside, supported by Qing'er.

"Your Majesty, where do you get this from?"

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor with a serious face.

"Greetings to the old Buddha, may the old Buddha live in peace and happiness."

When the Emperor and the Empress saw the Empress Dowager coming, they quickly stood up from their seats and bowed to her.

"Everyone, please get up. We are not in the palace now. There are not so many complicated rules. Just be casual."

The old lady raised her hand and signaled everyone to get up quickly.

"My Lord Buddha, why don't you take a little more rest today?" The Queen stepped forward and took the Lord Buddha's hand from Qing'er. She helped the Lord Buddha sit down.

The Empress Dowager gently patted the back of the Empress's hand and whispered softly, "The climate in Jiangnan is very humid and hot. I'm not used to the environment here. I didn't sleep well last night and woke up early this morning, so I just got up and walked around. Later, I heard from the servants that the Emperor and Empress came to the other courtyard to see Ziwei, so I asked Qing'er to accompany me to come and see Ziwei as well."

Ziwei was deeply moved after hearing what the old lady said.

She stepped forward and bowed deeply to the old Buddha. "Ziwei thanks the old Buddha here. It is a blessing for Ziwei to be remembered so much by the old Buddha."

At this moment, the old lady glanced at the people present.

Finally, her eyes fell on Erkang.

Erkang also noticed that the old lady was looking at him seriously.

When he bowed to the old lady and was about to speak, he was interrupted by Ziwei.

Ziwei stepped forward and took Old Buddha's arm, smiling and saying, "Old Buddha, have you had breakfast?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head, but she was not in a hurry to answer Ziwei's question, because she had heard what the emperor said before she came in, and he asked Ziwei not to refuse so hastily.

"Your Majesty, since you and the Empress are here, I would like to discuss Erkang's marriage with you." After a long silence, the Empress Dowager suddenly looked at the Emperor and Empress. "In fact, in my heart, Erkang is truly an excellent man, and I have already found a very good woman for him, but I have never found the right opportunity."

The emperor and the empress looked at each other.

As for the others, they all stood there in a daze.

The Emperor looked at the Buddha and said slowly, "Buddha, I wonder who this woman you are talking about is?"

A smile suddenly appeared on the old lady's face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She gently patted the back of Qing'er's hand, and then looked at everyone present.

"This woman is naturally the princess of our Aixinjueluo family. Moreover, this princess was carefully selected by me, and she is also my most beloved princess."

The old lady spoke word by word, and even looked at Qing'er from time to time while speaking.

Qing'er was completely panicked by the look from the old lady.

She quickly asked, "Old Buddha, who exactly is this princess you're talking about? Please stop playing dumb with everyone. Look at Erkang, he's already getting furious."

The old Buddha fixed his gaze on Erkang, who was standing there anxiously. "Erkang, don't you want to know who this woman is?"

Erkang looked at the old Buddha nervously, a little at a loss for a moment. He looked at Qing'er again and said, "Old Buddha, actually, I already have someone I like."

The old lady noticed that Erkang's eyes lingered on Qing'er, so she deliberately said, "I know who you like. In fact, Qing'er has already told me before. But in my heart, Qing'er is the most outstanding woman in the world, and naturally she should be paired with the most outstanding man in the world."

After the old man finished speaking.

Qing'er and Erkang were suddenly panicked.

Ziwei was even more confused. In the heart of the Empress Dowager, Qing'er was the best woman in the world, and Erkang was the best man in the world. So according to this logic, was the Empress Dowager going to arrange a marriage for Qing'er and Erkang?

The Empress Dowager had already discovered Ziwei's thoughts, and Erkang often went to Shufangzhai on weekdays, and Ziwei was always talking about it every day. Besides, she was the champion of the palace fight in the previous session.

How could she not know what these two children were thinking?

Besides, these two children are indeed a perfect match, and Qing'er has already expressed her feelings to me before.

Therefore, I will not let Qing'er walk the same path I have walked before. Since Qing'er's heart is not on Erkang, I should not force them to be together.

"Master Buddha, Qing'er has already understood my feelings. Qing'er is so outstanding. She deserves a better man to accompany her."

"Are you saying Qing'er isn't worthy of you?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly after hearing Erkang's words and asked, "In your opinion, who else in this palace could be as outstanding as Qing'er?"

Erkang clasped his fists and looked at the old Buddha solemnly, saying word by word, "Qing'er is indeed a very good woman. But before I met the woman of my own, I also thought she was very good. But when I met the woman I like, I found that there are actually such excellent women in this world."
