Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

After the turmoil at the birthday banquet, Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, Ziwei and others successfully thwarted the conspiracy of Concubine Ling's followers, and the palace temporarily returned to peace. However, a new story is quietly unfolding.

One day, the emperor summoned everyone to the imperial garden. Xiaoyanzi was curious about what the emperor wanted to do, but she saw the emperor looking at Ziwei with a loving face.

"Little Ziwei, actually I have always known that you are my daughter." The emperor said slowly.

Ziwei's eyes instantly turned red, and she knelt down to salute: "Father Emperor, your daughter... your daughter is grateful for your grace."

The emperor helped Ziwei up, full of emotion: "These days, you have suffered a lot of grievances. Although I already knew your identity, I have never found a suitable time to officially recognize you. Now, I want the entire palace to know that you, Xia Ziwei, are my most beloved daughter."

Xiaoyanzi's eyes widened, and then she said with a smile: "Haha, Ziwei, you are so lucky. From now on, we can make trouble in the palace together again."

The emperor looked at Xiaoyanzi helplessly: "Xiaoyanzi, you are always so naughty. But I have already treated you as my daughter."

Then, the emperor announced a grand recognition ceremony for Ziwei. The whole palace was decorated with lights and was bustling. Ziwei was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked radiant. Xiaoyanzi ran around excitedly and made some funny remarks from time to time.

"Wow, Ziwei, you are as beautiful as a fairy today. If Erkang saw you, he would be stunned." Xiaoyanzi joked.

Ziwei blushed and patted Xiaoyanzi: "You just talk nonsense."

After the recognition ceremony, the emperor thought that Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei needed to improve their knowledge, so he ordered Xiaoyanzi to study with the princes. When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she immediately looked bitter.

"Father, studying is so boring." Xiaoyanzi muttered.

The emperor said seriously, "Xiaoyanzi, you must stop fooling around. Only by reading more can you make progress."

Xiaoyanzi had no choice but to follow the princes to the study. In the study, Ji Xiaolan had been waiting for a long time. He looked at the group of princes and princesses, thinking secretly in his heart how to teach them.

After everyone sat down, Ji Xiaolan cleared his throat.

"Today, let's review some poetry. Fifth Prince, please recite a poem by Li Bai." Ji Xiaolan said.

Yongqi nodded slightly and recited calmly: "Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. Have you not seen that the white hair in the mirror of the hall is sad, which was black in the morning and turned white in the evening."

Ji Xiaolan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Ertai, you recite a poem by Wang Wei."

Ertai recited calmly: "After the rain in the empty mountains, the weather turns to autumn late. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks."

Then, Ji Xiaolan's eyes fell on Xiaoyanzi, who suddenly became nervous and looked around.

"Princess Huanzhu, please recite a poem." Ji Xiaolan said with a smile.

Xiaoyanzi scratched her head and stammered, "That...that...Master's eyes were so round that half of them disappeared after one punch."

As soon as these words came out, the Fifth Prince, Ertai and other princes couldn't help laughing. Ji Xiaolan was also angry and amused.

"Princess Huanzhu, this is not a serious poem. You must study poetry seriously and stop fooling around," said Ji Xiaolan.

Xiaoyanzi stuck out her tongue: "I understand, Master Ji."

Ji Xiaolan decided to let them compose poetry. He gave a theme and asked everyone to write poems based on the theme.

"Today's theme is 'Spring Scenery'. Everyone please think about it and write a poem," said Ji Xiaolan.

The brothers were all lost in thought, seriously composing their own poems, while Xiaoyanzi looked bewildered, not knowing where to start.

After a while, Yongqi finished his poem first.

"The spring breeze blows the green willows, and the flowers compete to beautify the blue sky. The returning swallows add new colors, and the beautiful scenery is as charming as a painting."

Ji Xiaolan looked at Yongqi with appreciation: "Fifth Prince's poem has a beautiful artistic conception and appropriate words. Very good."

Ertai also continued to recite his poem.

"The warm spring sun shines on the earth, and the peach and plum trees are full of fragrance. The brooks are gurgling and the scenery is charming and intoxicating."

Ji Xiaolan nodded and praised: "Ertai's poems are also very good."

It was Xiaoyanzi's turn. She held it in for a long time and finally squeezed out a sentence.

"Spring is here and the flowers are blooming, and my heart is filled with joy, little swallow."

Everyone burst into laughter again. Ji Xiaolan shook his head helplessly.

"Princess Huanzhu, this is not a poem. You should learn more about the rhythm and rhyme of poetry." Ji Xiaolan said.

Xiaoyanzi pouted and said, "Master Ji, this poem is too difficult. I can't learn it."

Yongqi came over and said patiently: "Xiaoyanzi, don't be discouraged. I will teach you. Poetry has certain rules. We can start from the simple ones."

Under Yongqi's guidance, Xiaoyanzi began to slowly understand the secrets of poetry. Although she still found it difficult, she tried hard to create.

After a period of study, Xiaoyanzi's poetry skills have improved a little. Although she is still not as good as the brothers, she is no longer as naughty as before.

During her studies, Xiaoyanzi often made some jokes. Once, Ji Xiaolan asked everyone to recite an ancient Chinese article. Xiaoyanzi recited it haltingly and even mispronounced some words.

"I don't know why it is so." Little Swallow muttered.

The brothers burst into laughter again. Ji Xiaolan corrected her mistake with a smile.

"My Fair Princess, it's like 'I don't know why,' without the word 'also'," said Ji Xiaolan.

Little Swallow scratched her head embarrassedly: "Oh, I always can't remember."

Although Xiaoyanzi encountered many difficulties in her studies, her efforts and progress were seen by everyone, and the emperor was also pleased with her changes.

Ziwei performed very well in her studies. Her poems were beautiful and her articles were very elegant. The emperor praised her highly.

As time went by, the relationship between Xiaoyanzi and the brothers became more and more harmonious. They studied and played together in the study room and spent many happy hours together.

Life in the palace continues amid laughter and joy, and perhaps there will be more stories waiting for them in the future.
