My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Early the next morning.

Qing'er hurriedly helped the old lady wash and change her clothes.

The Chen family was bustling for a while last night but soon became quiet. When Qing'er woke up in the morning, she heard from the Chen family's servants that Xiaoyanzi was scratched on the face by a cat last night and had to get several stitches.

"Qing'er, how come Xiaoyanzi was scratched by a cat last night?" The old lady looked solemn as she looked at Qing'er standing behind her in the mirror.

Qing'er also looked confused at this moment. "I don't know. I heard it from the servants early in the morning. I don't know the details."

The old lady knew that Qing'er was worried about Xiaoyanzi, so she turned around and looked at Qing'er when she was about to ask something else.

Zhihua came in with breakfast. "Zhihua pays her respects to the old Buddha, wishing her good health and happiness. She also pays her respects to Princess Qing, wishing her good luck."

"Zhihua, why are you here?" Old Buddha looked at Zhihua and asked. A faint smile suddenly appeared on his face which was originally full of sorrow. "Are you okay last night? I heard that Xiaoyanzi was injured."

Zhihua put the breakfast on the table, then quickly walked to the side of the old lady, and together with Qing'er, she helped the old lady walk to the table.

"My Lord Buddha, Zhihua is fine, but Princess Huanzhu couldn't escape this disaster." Zhihua's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. Thinking of what happened last night, she still felt a little scared, and she also thought of the stitches Princess Huanzhu had to get on her face.

Fortunately, the matter between her and that man was temporarily covered up, otherwise... otherwise, not only herself but everyone in the Chen family would be implicated.

"Good girl, it's over now." The old lady looked at Zhihua with heartache, then looked at Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, after you pay your respects to the Emperor and Empress, go see Xiaoyanzi."

"Yes, Lafayette."

Qing'er bent down.

"Princess Qing, I'm also planning to go see Princess Huanzhu. Why don't we go together?" Zhihua walked to Qing'er, took Qing'er's hand and said.

After Qing'er served the old lady breakfast.

She and Zhihua went to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress first. Coincidentally, at this time, the Emperor and the Empress had also heard about what happened last night and were preparing to go see Xiaoyanzi.

On the way there, I also met Empress Ling Fei.

"Concubine Ling, please stop walking around. You should rest more in your room at this time." When the emperor saw Concubine Ling hurrying over not far away, his eyes unconsciously stayed on her belly.

Concubine Ling touched her slightly bulging belly and said, "Your Majesty, I have already come with you on the southern tour, so this little distance is not a big deal. Let's go and see Xiaoyanzi."

The emperor was speechless after hearing Concubine Ling's words.

Indeed, compared with the Southern Tour, this distance is nothing compared to the big one and is not worth mentioning at all.

"Emperor Father, Empress Dowager, and Consort Ling."

Xiaoyanzi, who was sitting in her seat and screaming in pain, jumped up immediately when she saw the emperor, empress and Concubine Ling coming.

She stepped forward, grabbed the Queen's hand, and began to recount what happened last night. "Empress Mother, you didn't see my face last night. It was all covered in blood, and... and Ertai, Erkang, Yongqi, and my brother, they all took turns restraining me, and then the doctor just took a needle and thread to sew me up..."

As he spoke, the wound on his face began to ache again.

The Queen felt distressed when she saw Xiaoyanzi's ferocious expression. After looking at everyone, she asked seriously, "Have you caught that beast?"

Everyone shook their heads.

At this moment, Zhihua suddenly spoke up, "To answer the Queen, that cat must be a stray cat. My parents and three sisters all know that I've been afraid of cats since I was a child, so they've instructed the servants not to keep cats privately. Even if a stray cat is seen nearby, it's simply chased away and no one feeds it."

"Father Emperor, Empress Dowager, do you know how thrilling last night was?" Xiaoyanzi described what happened last night in vivid detail and with gestures, completely ignoring the pain from the wound on her face.

In short, she would stop and rest when her wound hurt, and then continue talking.

After the emperor heard what Xiaoyanzi said, his brows frowned slightly. Since no one in the world would privately keep cats, and no one would feed stray cats without permission, then where did these stray cats come from?

It's rare to see a stray cat attacking people directly, unless...

"Father Emperor, you must avenge me!" Xiaoyanzi suddenly said angrily, "If my fair and tender face is left with a scar, it will be ruined."

The emperor nodded and immediately ordered someone to investigate.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi helped the Emperor and Empress sit down respectively, while Concubine Ling sat on the other side of the Emperor with the help of Qing'er and Zhihua.

now.

The Queen's gaze remained on Xiaoyanzi's head, but she was reluctant to speak.

Xiaoyanzi got goosebumps all over her body when the Queen looked at her. "Empress Mother, why do you keep looking at me like that... Is there something on my face? Or... have I become uglier?"

When the Queen saw that Xiaoyanzi could still make a joke in this situation, she immediately laughed.

Seeing that the Queen was smiling but not saying anything, Xiaoyanzi stamped her feet out of habit. Just as she was about to speak, she pulled the wound on her face.

"Alright, alright, Xiaoyanzi, just be quiet." The Queen couldn't help but say when she saw her like this, "You can't stop even though your face is injured."

When Xiaoyanzi heard the Queen say this, she immediately asked, "My Queen Mother...but what on earth were you laughing at just now?"

The Queen said, "I am laughing at you, the chirping little swallow, because from today you will become a little rabbit."

"Ah? Little rabbit?" Xiaoyanzi looked at the queen in surprise, then looked at everyone present and found that everyone was covering their mouths and laughing.

So she turned around and walked to a mirror, and when she saw herself clearly, her eyes widened.

"Who...who bandaged himself like this?"

As Xiaoyanzi spoke, she touched the two ears on her head with her hands, which looked ugly.

Seeing Xiaoyanzi's puzzled expression, Ziwei quickly replied, "Isn't that the doctor who stitched you up last night?"

"This doctor didn't even bother bandaging me properly." Xiaoyanzi pursed her lips and continued, "But considering he risked his life to sew me up yesterday, I forgive him."

"Xiaoyanzi, you are being unreasonable."

The emperor suddenly said seriously, "The doctor worked so hard to sew up your wound, and you actually complain that the bandage is ugly. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
