Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

Chapter 25 The Queen recognizes Xiao Yanzi’s adopted daughter

Little Yanzi waved her arms and shouted loudly, signaling everyone to calm down.

"Don't worry, everyone. Everyone has a share. Tell me first where you come from."

An old man with gray hair on his temples knelt on the ground and prayed to God, speaking tremblingly.

"Female Bodhisattva, we escaped from another place. There was a flood in our hometown and we really couldn't survive. We came all the way to the capital to beg the emperor to save his people."

Yongqi and Erkang looked at each other and wondered how the local officials were doing, not reporting such important news.

"Okay, I understand. Do you know how many people have come to the capital? Let me count them first and buy you meat buns later."

This was the first time that Xiao Yanzi was called a female Bodhisattva, and she felt very happy. She thought about how she had eaten too much and never finished her meal when she was a child. She felt very sorry for them and directly used her own money to provide disaster relief.

"Everyone, please thank this female Bodhisattva." The old man was about to kneel down and kowtow, and Little Yanzi quickly helped him up.

"Grandpa, get up quickly."

Within half an hour, nearly a thousand refugees had gathered. Everyone felt very uncomfortable seeing their emaciated appearance.

Xiao Yanzi pulled Yong Qi's sleeve with a guilty look on her face, "Yong Qi, I want to help them, but I only have 20,000 taels of silver, which is not enough."

Xiao Yanzi spent all the money to buy meat buns and rice, and several people helped distribute it to the refugees, but each person only received about ten kilograms of rice and five or six meat buns, which could not solve the actual problem at all.

Yong Qi held Xiao Yanzi's face with both hands and did not hesitate to praise him.

"Xiao Yanzi, you have done a good job. Let's go back to the palace immediately and ask Emperor Ama for help."

"Yeah." Xiao Yanzi felt a little depressed. Maybe he had been caught in the rain and wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

Ziwei took her hand understandingly and comforted her. "Little Yanzi, Huang Ama will definitely make proper arrangements. What you do now is equivalent to helping Huang Ama solve his urgent need. You are good."

"Then let's go back to the palace quickly. We can go out to play in the future, but they can't wait." Little Yanzi, who has always loved playing, seems to have grown up in an instant, and she is even more likeable like this.

"Xiao Yanzi, I won't accompany you. Liu Qing and I will help you arrange these refugees."

Xiao Jian refused to go to the palace because he was afraid that seeing the emperor would not suppress the hatred in his heart.

Xiao Yanzi and the others rushed back to the palace just before the palace gate closed. As soon as they entered the palace, Xiao Yanzi and Yong Qi hurried to Qianqing Palace to seek help from the emperor.

The emperor was reviewing the memorial and was a little surprised when he heard the voices of Yongqi and others.

"Hey, aren't these kids leaving the palace? Why are they back after just one day?"

As soon as Xiao Yanzi entered the door, she knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down her face. She heard Grandma Sun say that children who can cry will be fed milk.

"Your Majesty, please save the refugees."

The emperor's eyes trembled when he heard about the refugees. The appearance of refugees meant that someone was suffering somewhere he didn't know.

Yong Qi quickly recounted what he saw outside the palace, and also told the emperor about Xiao Yanzi's efforts to help the refugees.

The emperor was furious and quickly ordered Yongqi to get money to save people.

"It's unreasonable. The people below all know and don't report it. Do they really think that I am blind and deaf? Yongqi listens to the order. You immediately go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to transfer 200,000 taels of silver to resettle the refugees."

"Little Yanzi's move is really beyond my expectation. Little Yanzi, what reward do you want?"

The emperor looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, and felt a little more sincere love in his heart. She was brave and resourceful, and knew how to repay kindness. It would be great if such a girl could be my daughter.

"Little Yanzi doesn't want rewards. Little Yanzi only hopes that the emperor can deal with corrupt officials and prevent them from harming the people."

Xiao Yanzi's words shocked the emperor, but he had another thought in his heart. It's time for me to go out and take a look. When I stay in the Forbidden City every day, I only see what they want me to see. There are far more places that I can't see. Today's incident

"The Queen has arrived." The father-in-law outside announced loudly.

"I see you, Your Majesty." The flag on the Queen's head was a little crooked, and it was obvious that she had come running.

"Queen, what happened to Yongxun?" Seeing that she was still breathing slightly, the emperor stepped forward and took her hand, asking worriedly.

"Yongxun is fine. I heard that Xiao Yanzi came to you crying. I was afraid that someone would bully her, so I felt a little anxious, so I lost my etiquette."

The queen did not expect that one day she would be favored by the emperor. She lowered her head to block the moisture in her eyes. When she saw that Little Yanzi was fine, she felt relieved.

"Queen, you are considerate. Not only is Little Yanzi fine, but she has also made great achievements. I am worried about how to reward her."

The emperor informed the queen about Xiao Yanzi's rescue of the victims, and a trace of joy flashed in the queen's eyes.

The queen helped Xiao Yanzi up, took her hand, and gave her a loving look.

"Your Majesty, I often think of my poor daughter. If she were still alive now, she would be about the same age as Xiao Yanzi."

The emperor also looked sad when he heard her mentioning his daughter who died young.

"Hey, Zi Tong, don't be too sad. My child is your child. On weekdays, let the princesses often go to Kunning Palace to chat with you."

The queen twitched the corner of her mouth where he couldn't see her. She really didn't dare to compliment her.

"Queen, if you are sad and bored, Xiao Yanzi can chat with you to relieve your boredom."

Xiao Yanzi's sincere gaze made the queen more sure of her inner thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I like Xiao Yanzi very much. It just so happens that Xiao Yanzi has also made great achievements. Why don't you let Xiao Yanzi be my adopted daughter?"

The queen looked at the emperor with some earnest eyes. If it were different before, the emperor might have considered it, but Xiao Yanzi was being favored now, and the identity of an adopted daughter was not yet within reach.

The Emperor's sharp eyes paused for a moment on the Queen and Little Yanzi, and then he smiled. The Queen's idea was a good one, and he thought so too. Sooner or later, Little Yanzi will be my daughter.

"This matter is a harem matter, and it is entirely up to you to make the decision. Although you are the adopted daughter of the queen, you still have to have a title. I wonder if the queen has thought about it."

The queen was overjoyed. She didn't expect the emperor to be so generous. There was a huge difference between having a title and not having a title. She thought about it for a moment.

"Your Majesty, little Yanzi is just like the daughter given to me by God. Why not call her Princess Huanzhu."

"My name is Princess Huanzhu. I wonder if the Queen is optimistic about the future. When Ziwei's identity is revealed to the world, she will also announce Little Yanzi, one is Pearl Princess and the other is Princess Princess. Let the world see how many daughters I have." Excellent, showing the majesty of the heavenly family.”

The emperor proposed that Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi be together, which showed that in his heart the two people had equal status.

"Your Majesty, the date has been chosen a long time ago. The day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day."

The queen is in a good mood now, but Xiao Yanzi is in a fog. She seems to have heard the queen say that she has been banned from the princess, and her name is Huan Zhu Princess.
