My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Chapter 81 A lonely man and a widow

The emperor thought for a long time before slowly answering, "Your Majesty, Zhihua is well-educated, sensible, and considerate. She will make a very good legitimate wife in the future."

"I also believe so."

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with the Emperor's answer.

After all, in the Empress Dowager's heart, Zhihua is the only one who can be Yongqi's legitimate wife. Although Zhihua looks weak on the surface, she is actually a very independent and capable person. Only such a woman is suitable to be Yongqi's legitimate wife.

The Queen sat quietly on the side, listening attentively to the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

In the previous life, in the marriage of Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, Zhihua was just a pawn used by the Empress Dowager to threaten Xiaoyanzi.

However, in this life, the queen is not a fool.

She could hear that the Empress Dowager had actually sent people to investigate the daughter of the Chen family long before the Emperor decided to go on the southern tour, and whether there was a southern tour or not, the Empress Dowager would definitely find a suitable time to bring Zhihua into the palace.

Otherwise, according to this timeline, it would be impossible for Karl Lagerfeld to know Chen Zhihua so well when they met for the first time.

"My Lord Buddha, from what you said, you want to match these two children together?" The Queen looked at the Lord Buddha and suddenly asked.

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, Zhihua is a good girl. She will be a very good wife. Besides, Yongqi needs a woman who is compatible with him to assist him."

After hearing this, the emperor quickly agreed, "Your Majesty, you are right."

"Then I will arrange for someone to bring Zhihua into the palace." The Queen looked at the Empress Dowager virtuously.

Seeing the Queen's thoughtfulness, the Empress Dowager patted her hand with satisfaction and said, "You are so thoughtful."

backyard.

Zhihua took the brush and wrote a few lines on the rice paper. After finishing, she put the brush on the pen holder.

"Excuse me, Fifth Prince, I'm sorry for showing off."

Zhihua said modestly as she looked at the words on the rice paper.

Yongqi looked at Zhihua with admiration and praised her, "I never thought your handwriting was so beautiful. Every word on this paper is in the same font."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Fifth Prince." Zhihua continued with a smile, "Actually, I've only scratched the surface. I practice whatever fonts are popular, so my handwriting is just so-so. And for a while, I was particularly fascinated by Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, but my father often laughed at me for not studying hard and always slacking off."

Yongqi saw that the woman in front of him was so humble and low-key, and her tone of voice was gentle, completely different from Xiaoyanzi. His heart seemed to be a little moved at this moment.

He shook his head hard to make himself more awake.

He kept reminding himself not to have any other excessive thoughts.

"Zhihua, you are so modest." Yongqi said slowly.

However, at this moment, Ziwei and Erkang came to the backyard while strolling.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw Zhihua, Yongqi and others.

"Yongqi Zhihua." Ziwei and Erkang walked up to them and greeted them.

When Zhihua saw that it was Princess Mingzhu and Young Master Fu, she quickly bowed and said, "Good luck to Princess Mingzhu, good luck to Young Master Fu."

Seeing this, Ziwei immediately went over to hold Zhihua's hand, "Zhihua, don't be so formal. This is not the imperial palace. You don't have to bow to us. Just call me Ziwei."

"This... is absolutely not possible." Zhihua shook her head.

night.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

However, only Xiaoyanzi couldn't sleep.

So she took advantage of the fact that Ziwei and Seya were both asleep and quietly slipped out by herself.

But just when we reached the rockery.

Xiaoyanzi vaguely saw two shadows swaying behind the rockery, and even seemed to hear some rustling sounds, so in order to avoid alerting the enemy, she quickly found a secluded place to hide.

"I never thought you were this kind of woman." The man hugged the woman standing in front of him tightly, his tone clearly filled with dissatisfaction. "What did you promise me in the beginning? You said you would always follow me, but now you're leaving me?"

"Keep your voice down and let me go. I'm warning you, if you don't leave I'll call for help." The woman deliberately suppressed her voice and spoke in a very soft voice.

Little Swallow stood nervously in a corner, not moving.

But...but maybe I was too anxious just now.

There was no time to find a good hiding place.

Now he could only be forced to step on a stone that was not even as tall as himself, with the other foot suspended in the air. However, his body was pressed tightly against the rockery behind him, and he tried to lean his center of gravity back as much as possible.

He struggled to grab the protruding stones on the rockery with both hands.

This way she could barely keep her body balanced.

Fortunately, the rockery behind him could just cover his body, and it was night time, so he wouldn't be easily discovered.

"Didn't you promise to marry me? I was about to propose, but how can you go back on your word now?" the man asked over and over again.

"Shut up, stop saying such nonsense. Who do you think you are? Why should I follow you so wholeheartedly?"

The woman's voice was filled with anger.

"Why? Because we grew up together, and because of the solemn oath we swore to the heavens." The man suddenly became emotional. "And have you completely forgotten our happy times?"

"Happy time? The happy time you're talking about isn't looking at the stars and the moon? Humph, don't be ridiculous. I can spend this kind of time with anyone. Why do you think I'll follow you forever?"

The woman's words pierced the man's heart like needles.

The man looked at the woman in front of him sadly.

I didn't expect that the woman who made me give my heart to her would be so heartless.

"Go away, forget me, and don't come to me again. I don't want you to turn against me." said the woman.

Xiaoyanzi continued to maintain her posture with difficulty.

Who on earth is this late at night? These two are so bold.

Aren’t a single man and a single woman afraid of being discovered when they are alone in the same place?

"oops."

Perhaps because she had been standing on one leg for too long, Xiaoyanzi's feet began to feel numb, and she couldn't help but complain.

The woman behind the rockery heard the sound and pushed the man in another direction in panic, blinking at him to signal him not to speak.

The little swallow realized that she had been exposed, so she jumped down from the rock.
