My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Chapter 88 The Emperor and Xia Yingying

After leaving the Chen family.

After traveling by land intermittently for more than half a month, they finally reached their destination and prepared to change to water transportation to continue their journey.

Although the journey over the past half month has been arduous, we have also gained a lot. Not only have we provided relief to the disaster victims along the way, but we have also caught all the corrupt officials.

"Your Majesty, this time we have gained quite a bit." Fulun jumped easily from a small boat to the larger one next to it. "I have completed all the tasks you instructed me to do."

"Have the disaster victims along the way been resettled?"

The emperor frowned and looked at Fulun.

Fu Lun cupped his fists and replied respectfully, "Everything has been arranged. As for the follow-up work, the children said they want to do it themselves and I won't feel at ease until I personally monitor them."

The emperor nodded.

Then he asked other detailed questions.

After getting the answer he wanted, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, the local officials here have arranged a performance. Would you like to go and see it now?" Fu Lun asked. "I heard that he is a famous local with a good voice and plays the piano very well."

The emperor had originally been planning to go in and have a good rest, and then enjoy the night view of the Jiangnan water town in the evening. However, after hearing Fulun's words, he instantly forgot the fatigue of the past few days.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of refusing, Fulun immediately took the emperor to another ship.

When the emperor just arrived on another ship.

The local officials had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw the emperor coming, they immediately went up to greet him and waved to the women inside, indicating that they could perform.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor." The leading official quickly saluted and then led the emperor in.

The emperor took his seat.

We started drinking some wine while enjoying the beautiful songs and dancing.

However, I don’t know if I was drunk, but the woman leading the group and masked with white gauze suddenly looked familiar to me for a moment.

The emperor put down the wine glass in his hand, then slowly walked to the woman. He raised his hand and gently grasped her wrist.

His eyes happened to meet hers.

It's her, it's really her.

"It's really you!" The emperor swallowed and suddenly shook his head, "No, you are not her."

Seeing this, Fulun and the other two officials quickly and tactfully retreated with the other women.

"Girls, please go back first." Fulun made a gesture of invitation and turned around and waved to a guard, indicating that he should send the girls back first.

"Sir, we have to wait for my sister to come out and go back together."

One of the women, wearing lake blue clothes, walked up to Fulan and looked at him with difficulty.

"Don't worry, young lady." Fu Lun said with a smile, "We will send Miss Yingying back safely, so you can go back without worry."

Fulun looked again at the guard standing behind him.

The guards looked seriously at the girls in colorful clothes and signaled them to leave quickly.

At this moment, only the emperor and Xia Yingying were left on the boat.

Just as Fulun and the others went out, the emperor drank two more glasses of wine.

"Take off your veil." The emperor looked at her domineeringly. "You said your name is Xia Yingying? Your last name is Xia and hers is also Xia. Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"

Xia Yingying didn't know what he was talking about, she just obediently took off the veil from her face.

A stunningly beautiful face appeared before the emperor.

The emperor was a little at a loss when he saw this beautiful face. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead. A breeze blew by, ruffling the fine hair on her forehead.

"You don't look like her," the emperor couldn't help but sigh, "but why is it that your every frown and smile are so similar to hers? Especially just now, under the veil, for a moment I thought you were her."

Xia Yingying looked at the emperor with a puzzled look on her face, her lips moving slightly, "Your Majesty, is she your queen you are talking about?"

The emperor raised the corner of his mouth after hearing this, looked at Xia Yingying with a forced smile, and slowly said: "She is an old friend of mine, she has passed away."

Xia Yingying's eyes suddenly dimmed.

The emperor pushed a few strands of hair from her forehead behind her ears, then slowly approached her.

Seeing this, Xia Yingying quickly took a few steps back and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for me to go back."

"Hmm?" The emperor paused and continued, "You should stay here today and chat with me."
