My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

The corners of Zhihua's mouth twitched slightly.

Looking at the man in front of him coldly.

So what if they grew up together? Ultimately, it still can't compare to the imperial power and wealth.

You can say that she has become a phoenix by flying to a tree, or that she is vain.

But as soon as she enters the palace, the Chen family will rise to prominence.

What's more, the man she was going to marry was the fifth prince, Yongqi, the emperor's favorite son.

If the Fifth Prince is able to perform well, he will become the Crown Prince in the future, and she will be the Crown Princess of the Qing Dynasty. If he is not so good, he will at least be a prince, and she will be the princess.

Aren’t days like this nice?

"Whatever you say, there is no such thing as regret in my world, Chen Zhihua." Zhihua said word by word. Her parents had never taught her the word regret since she was a child.

"..."

The man was speechless.

Since she was determined to go, he was destined to be unable to stop her.

Then I wish her a bright future.

"Oh, that cat scratched Princess Huanzhu's face last night." Zhihua had actually come to him to talk about this. "Remember to deal with the cat. I secretly scattered some spices on the ground yesterday. It got used to the smell of the spices and followed it here. But when it saw Princess Huanzhu and I standing together, it thought I was in danger and pounced on her."

After all, Zhihua was still completely defenseless in front of him.

I told him everything that happened last night.

Besides, she was never afraid of cats. The reason she told them that she was afraid of cats was just to divert the blame elsewhere.

The man smiled and said, "Only you can come up with this kind of thing, but it's a good thing to do this way. This way I can escape smoothly. Otherwise, I might be discovered by her."

"I have nothing else to do, so I'll go back first."

Zhihua stood there in a daze for a moment. Why... why did she feel so reluctant to let go?

When she turned around and was about to walk back, the man suddenly came up and hugged her from behind.

The man said softly, "I'll never see you again. Is today the last time we meet?"

"Are you crazy? They haven't left yet." Zhihua tried her best to push him away, but he hugged her tighter and tighter.

"When are they leaving?" the man kept asking. After a moment, he pressed again, "Are you really planning to marry that Fifth Prince?"

The voice just fell.

Zhihua raised her foot and stomped hard on his foot in anger: "You are talking nonsense. You already said that I will fly to the branches and become a phoenix. Who else can I marry if I don't marry him?"

"Marry me." The man laughed shamelessly, then let go of his hands obediently and looked at Zhihua reluctantly.

"Come on." Zhihua pursed her lips and said, "Alright, I just slipped out today when everyone else was resting. You can take care of yourself."

The man didn't give up at this time and asked: "Can I see you one more time before I leave?" In fact, the reason why the man didn't give up was not because of childhood sweethearts or the feelings of growing up together, but because he was greedy for her beauty and family background.

How could Zhihua not know that if she really cared about these illusory feelings, she would have rejected the Empress Dowager long ago.

It’s a pity that she is not a love-brained person.

She wants status.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Zhihua left after saying this coldly.

When I returned to Chen's house.

Zhihua pushed the door open and walked in. The moment she turned around and closed the door, the candles in the room suddenly lit up.

"Zhihua, kneel down right there." Chen Bangzhi sternly looked at Zhihua, who had just returned from outside. "Do you know what you're doing?"

Zhihua looked at her parents sitting at the table with surprise.

She was suddenly at a loss.

"Mom and Dad, shouldn't you be asleep at this time on normal days? Why did you suddenly come to your daughter's room today?" Zhihua pretended to be calm, with a hint of resentment in her tone, while pouring tea for her parents.

Chen Bangzhi looked at his daughter, who was usually well-behaved and sensible. He really couldn't imagine that she would do such a rebellious thing.

"Mom and Dad, you're here now, but why haven't you lit the candles yet? You scared me by sitting inside in the dark." Seeing that her parents didn't say anything, Zhihua spoke again.

Seeing Zhihua like this, Chen Bangzhi was instantly furious. He raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table.

He looked at Zhihua seriously and asked, "Zhihua, how could I raise such an ungrateful daughter like you? You are a lady from a wealthy family, no matter what. Why weren't you in your room so late at night? What were you doing? Tell me yourself."

"Dad..." This was the first time Zhihua saw her father lose his temper. She stammered for a long time and couldn't explain what was going on.

Madam Chen was also startled by her master. She walked up to him and took his arm, "Master, please talk nicely if you have something to say. Why are you so angry?" At this point, Madam Chen suddenly lowered her voice and continued, "The emperor and the others haven't left yet. Aren't you afraid of being heard?"

"I'm already an old man, am I still worried about people finding out?" Chen Bangzhi reached out and slapped Zhihua hard in the face. "Chen Zhihua, if I hadn't sent someone to follow you all the way today, I'm afraid I would never know you were meeting another man until I die."

After hearing this, Zhihua realized that it was no wonder that her father said he was not feeling well and wanted to go back to his room to rest after dinner tonight. It turned out that he had secretly found someone to follow him.

Zhihua saw that her father and mother already knew about this.

She didn't argue but admitted it directly.

"Dad, Mom." Zhihua paused and continued, "There's nothing special between me and that man. You actually know him. He's Uncle Nalan's second son. But I've made things clear to him this time. Besides... he and I are just brother and sister."

When Zhihua said the last sentence, she was obviously feeling guilty and even found it a little funny.

Chen Bangzhi sneered, "Humph, so it's him, it's actually him. But don't tell me you two are brother and sister. When you say these things, you are simply treating me and your mother as fools. Do brother and sister relationships require hugging and tugging?"

"Father...Mother..."

Zhihua was suddenly speechless and didn't know where to start.

"Okay, have you really explained it to him clearly?" Chen Bangzhi asked after thinking for a moment.

Zhihua nodded without saying anything.

Seeing that his daughter didn't say anything, Chen Bangzhi immediately raised his voice again, "Talk to me, what does nodding mean?"

"It's all clear, and it's over." Zhihua looked up at her parents. "I remember what you said to me, and I won't let you down. I can see that Mr. Buddha came to Haining this time for a purpose, so of course I won't miss this opportunity."
