The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Qing'er looked at Qianlong gratefully and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will pay attention to it." After that, she took her leave.

Qianlong: "I'm glad you understand. Go ahead."

Qing'er: "Yes, I'll take my leave."

Qing'er bowed and left, leaving Qianlong sitting alone on the dragon throne, continuing to think about how to better liberate women from the backyard. Women account for half of the population. If they could all be used, how many people would be able to use them?

After Qing'er finished her business, she walked slowly, but her eyes could not help but wander around. This palace witnessed the years she and the original owner had spent together, and the original owner had almost grown up here. Thinking of the harem, Qing'er couldn't help but sigh: I wonder how many women's youths are buried within these palace walls! After that, she shook her head and turned to walk towards the Cining Palace. Since she has come to the palace, she might as well visit the Empress Dowager. On weekdays, Qing'er doesn't like to enter the palace. After all, she has to pay a courtesy and greet every time she enters the palace, which is really uncomfortable. Especially for someone like her who used to be in a high position, it is even more difficult to get used to it.

At the same time, Xiaoyanzi was jumping excitedly in the room because she was about to study with Ziwei. Although Xiaoyanzi did not have much enthusiasm for studying, this time she could not only spend time with Ziwei, but also have the opportunity to improve herself. The most important thing is that it can bring her closer to someone. Just as she was immersed in joy, she suddenly heard Liu Hong come in and say that someone was looking for her. Xiaoyanzi was overjoyed and thought that he had sent someone to pick her up, so she couldn't wait to jump out of the room. However, when she saw the gloomy-faced brother standing outside the door, she was scared and wanted to escape back to the room immediately. Seeing that she still wanted to run, Xiao Jian immediately flew in front of her and said, "Why, you didn't see your brother coming, why are you running? You left a letter and ran away from home? And you said you were coming to find me. I waited for you in Luoyang for half a month and didn't see you. If the shopkeeper in the capital hadn't written to say that he saw you here, I would have thought you were sold by human traffickers?"

Xiaoyanzi: "Brother, I didn't mean to do that. I heard you say you were coming to Beijing, so I came straight here. I didn't stop on the way except for necessary things. You knew you were so slow, but you blamed me."

Xiao Jian: "You still dare to say that? Didn't you hear me checking the store accounts along the way?"

Xiaoyanzi: "I didn't hear anything. I just heard that you were coming to Beijing."

Xiao Jian: "You always only listen halfway." Xiao Jian felt a little disappointed with this.

Xiaoyanzi: "Now that it's already like this, stop nagging me."

Xiao Jian: “…”

Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Yanzi and sighed helplessly. His sister was always so impulsive and impulsive. However, he also understood that Xiao Yanzi's personality was just like that, and it would be difficult to change her. Moreover, she had come to Beijing alone this time, and she must have endured a lot of hardships along the way. Thinking of this, Xiao Jian softened his heart again.

"Okay, okay, since you are here, come back with me first." Xiao Jian said.

"Go back? Where to?" Xiaoyanzi asked puzzledly.

"Of course I'm going home!" Xiao Jian answered as a matter of course.

"Home?" Xiaoyanzi asked doubtfully.

Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Yanzi with heartache, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Silly girl, where your brother is is home, right? We also have a house in the capital."

Hearing this, Xiaoyanzi felt a sudden warmth in her heart, her eyes turned slightly red, and she choked up and said, "Brother..." When she first arrived in the capital, she didn't know anyone and had run out of money. Fortunately, she met Liu Qing and Liu Hong who took her in.

Xiao Jian gently hugged Xiao Yanzi and comforted her, "Okay, don't cry, let's go home now." As he said that, he took Xiao Yanzi's hand and walked forward.

Xiaoyanzi suddenly remembered that she still had to wait for someone here, so she quickly pulled her brother's sleeve and said, "Brother, don't be anxious. Let me tell you about my experiences these days and have something to eat here. You must have known I was here, so you came to find me without stopping."

Xiao Jian: "Okay, I won't say anything more. Then tell me if you encountered any problems when you came here?"

Xiaoyanzi clasped her hands together and said to Liu Hong, "Liu Hong, could you please help my brother make a bowl of noodles? Please."

Liu Hong: "Okay, I'll go right away. Why do you have such an expression for just a bowl of noodles?"

Xiaoyanzi hugged Liu Hong: "I know, you are the best."

Seeing her like this, Liu Hong didn't know what to say, so she shook her head and went to the kitchen.

After seeing Liu Hong leave, Xiao Yanzi said to Xiao Jian, "I encountered a lot of things here. The first thing was meeting Liu Qing and Liu Hong. At that time, they were on the street..."

Xiaoyanzi excitedly recounted her experiences in the capital to Xiaojian, particularly the group of interesting friends she had made. Xiaojian listened attentively, occasionally interjecting, feeling both surprised and amused by Xiaoyanzi's experiences.

As they were talking, Liu Hong came over with a bowl of steaming hot noodles. Xiaoyanzi immediately picked up her chopsticks and started to devour the noodles, praising Liu Hong's cooking skills as she ate.

After finishing her noodles, Xiaoyanzi burped contentedly and continued chatting with Xiaojian. She told Xiaojian that she felt unprecedented freedom and happiness here, but she also missed her family and friends.

Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Yanzi with a smile and told her that her family had been looking for her and hoped that she could return home soon. Xiao Yanzi nodded and said that she missed home too, but it was impossible for her to go back anytime soon, so she told Xiao Jian about Prince Yu's request that they go to study.

When Xiao Jian heard this, he immediately grabbed Xiao Yanzi's hand nervously and asked anxiously: "Xiao Yanzi, what did you say? You said you know Prince Yu?" His eyes were full of anxiety and expectation, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Xiaoyanzi was startled by her brother's reaction and looked at him in bewilderment. But she still honestly recounted every detail of her interactions with Prince Yu. Xiao Jian couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He felt his sister was the lucky charm of their family!

For so many years, Xiao Jian has been trying to clear his father's name and let the world know the truth. Although the evidence is now complete, many people are reluctant to bother because it happened so long ago. Therefore, they have been unable to find a solution to the problem.

Xiao Jian had considered killing Mayu's family directly, but doing so would have forever burdened his father with the stigma of the Qinglong Gang. Prince Yu was the perfect person to resolve this dilemma. More importantly, he could directly meet with the Emperor and reveal the truth.
