My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

in the following days.

The emperor seemed to be possessed. For several days in a row, apart from discussing state affairs and reading memorials with several ministers who followed him, he spent most of his time with the woman named Xia Yingying.

Because of this, whenever the Empress Dowager heard the melodious singing coming from the boat, she would get furious. However, every time she mentioned this matter to the Emperor, the mother and son would have a big quarrel, and in the end, the matter would not be resolved despite everyone's dissuasion.

"Erkang, isn't this singing beautiful?" Ziwei leaned on Erkang's shoulder and said word by word, "Actually, I saw her from a distance last time. I felt that she looked nothing like my mother, but I don't know why she seemed to have a bit of my mother in her. She always gave me a very familiar feeling."

Erkang looked down at Ziwei, "Maybe it's because of the similar expressions."

The words fell.

Suddenly, the sound of broken strings was heard from the boat.

It seemed so out of place in the quiet night.

Just like ripples suddenly appearing on the calm surface of a lake, one's heart can't help but be gripped by the waves.

"Erkang, the strings of the zither are broken. It seems something bad is going to happen." Ziwei said.

Erkang could clearly feel that Ziwei's hands were clenched a little. He patted Ziwei's shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't be suspicious. It's just a broken string."

Ziwei shook her head and looked up at Erkang seriously, "Erkang, you don't understand the meaning of a broken string. And why would such a good string break?"

"Silly boy, let me accompany you back to the boat."

Erkang no longer discussed the problem of the strings with Ziwei. For him, what he cared about was not why the strings broke, but Ziwei.

He began to worry when he saw that Ziwei was always uneasy.

However, just when Ziwei returned to her boat.

But the little swallow ran out in a hurry.

Ziwei saw that Xiaoyanzi looked flustered. She grabbed Xiaoyanzi's arm and asked, "Xiaoyanzi, where are you going so late?"

"Ziwei, Ertai just heard from somewhere that the Emperor plans to bring that girl Yingying back to the palace after his southern tour, and he's going to confer the title of noble lady on her."

Xiaoyanzi pushed Ziwei's hand away as she spoke.

Ziwei and Erkang looked at each other in disbelief.

Ertai, who was now following Xiaoyanzi, nodded to Ziwei and Erkang. "I didn't hear it very accurately, but it's absolutely true that the Emperor wants to bring Xia Yingying back to the palace. He's even sent someone to rush back to the Forbidden City to inform the Imperial Household Department to proceed as soon as possible."

Xiaoyanzi took Ziwei's hand and hurried towards the emperor's boat.

As Xiaoyanzi walked, she looked at Ziwei with a serious expression, "Ziwei, the Empress Dowager has already rushed over with the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ling. Actually, I'm worried about Concubine Ling's health. She's pregnant now, what if something happens on the boat?"

After hearing what Xiaoyanzi said, Erkang quickly agreed, "I think what Xiaoyanzi said makes a lot of sense. Our most important thing is to get Concubine Ling away from there so that she won't be upset."

But at this time Ziwei's mind was blank.

I couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

I just followed the little swallow and kept moving forward.

"Your Majesty, are you crazy?" The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor angrily. He actually wanted to bring such a woman back to the palace and make her a noble lady.

The emperor looked at the old Buddha respectfully and said, "Old Buddha, please forgive my son this time. Please let him be willful for once."

"Once?" The old Buddha continued, "This isn't the only time you've been so willful. In short, no matter what, I won't allow you to take her back. Otherwise... otherwise, how am I going to explain this to my ancestors after I go down?"

The more Lafayette spoke, the more excited he became.

Seeing this, the Queen quickly and gently stroked the old Buddha's chest.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The Queen turned to look at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, please think twice before making Miss Xia a noble lady. Besides, no one can be a noble lady right away. You should at least start with the final consent."

The emperor now completely refuses to listen to anyone's advice.

The more everyone opposes him, the more he will do it.

The Empress Dowager could no longer care about so many things at this time. She raised her hand and shook off the Queen's hand, looking at the Emperor in frustration.

"Your Majesty, if you really insist on having your own way today, then I will have no choice but to sever our mother-son relationship."

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor angrily.

Concubine Ling, who was standing by, was even more at a loss as to how to proceed.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were arguing more and more fiercely, he was at a loss for a moment, and he was also disappointed with the Emperor's attitude towards Xia Yingying.

In all these years, she had never seen the emperor quarrel with the Empress Dowager over a woman.

The emperor was unmoved after hearing what the old Buddha said. "Old Buddha, my son has been unfilial today. I must make her a noble lady."

"Alright, alright, now I can't persuade you anymore. No one can persuade you anymore. Since you insist on doing this, I wonder how you'll shut up those gossips in the future." The old Buddha said, "Your Majesty, you must know that people's words can be terrifying."

After saying that.

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang, Ertai and Yongqi also rushed over.

When they arrived, they just saw the old lady coming out with the support of Qing'er.

"May the Buddha be blessed, and we respectfully send him off."

They first saluted the old Buddha.

The old lady was very angry at the moment. She glanced at them unhappily and then walked away holding Qing'er's hand.

"It seems that even the Empress Dowager can't persuade the Emperor anymore." Erkang reminded, "Everyone must act wisely after we go in. Especially Xiaoyanzi, don't say the wrong thing."

Little Swallow nodded.

In this situation, she didn't dare to speak carelessly.

"May the Emperor and Empress be blessed, and may Empress Ling be blessed."

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor! We, your servants, join you in wishing you both long life and good health."

"All of you, please stand up." The emperor waved his hand with a sullen face. "Why are you all here? If you are here to persuade me, then please leave."

Xiaoyanzi swallowed her saliva and walked cautiously to the side of Concubine Ling. She then said, "Actually, we are here to see Concubine Ling. I haven't spoken to Concubine Ling for several days."

"Then you should accompany Concubine Ling back quickly. Her belly is getting bigger, so it's better for her to go back and rest early." The emperor said in a flat tone.
