Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

On this day, the palace was as lively as usual. Xiaoyanzi was holding her son in the yard to bask in the sun, while Nan'er was teasing her younger brother and laughing from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and Ertai walked into the palace, exhausted.

As soon as Ertai saw Yongqi, he shouted excitedly: "Yongqi! I'm back!"

Yongqi was stunned at first, but then he was overjoyed. He quickly walked forward, hugged Ertai tightly, and said excitedly: "Ertai! You are finally back! I missed you so much!"

When Xiaoyanzi heard the noise, she came over with her child in her arms and said in surprise, "Oh, Ertai, how come you came back so suddenly? You are such a rare guest!"

Ertai smiled and looked at Xiaoyanzi, saying, "Xiaoyanzi, long time no see! I've been thinking about you guys, so I'll come back to see you as soon as I have time!"

Xiaoyanzi laughed and joked, "Huh! You still remember us. I thought you were having so much fun outside that you forgot about us!"

Ertai waved his hands and said, "How can that be possible? I've always been thinking about you all!"

At this time, Zhihua also came over holding Mianyi and said with a smile: "Ertai, welcome back. You have been gone for such a long time."

Ertai nodded slightly and responded, "Concubine Zhihua, it's been a long time since we last met. Your child has grown so big. He's so cute!"

Zhihua smiled and said, "Yes, Mianyi can already walk and speak a little."

Ertai squatted down, looked at Mianyi at eye level, and said kindly with a kind smile on his face: "Mianyi, do you still remember me? I am Uncle Ertai!"

Mian Yi opened her big eyes and looked at Ertai. She tilted her head, as if trying to recall something. After a while, she said in a baby voice, "Uncle Ertai..."

Ertai laughed happily, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Mian Yi's little face, saying: "Haha, this little guy is really smart! Come, uncle will hug you, okay?"

Mian Yi looked at Zhi Hua, and when she nodded, she stretched out her hands for Er Tai to hold. Er Tai carefully picked up Mian Yi, lifted her high above his head, and said with a smile: "Wow, Mian Yi is so heavy, he will definitely be a strong boy in the future!"

Mian Yi was lifted up, she was stunned at first, then she started to giggle and waved her little hands in the air.

Zhihua smiled and said, "Ertai, please don't let him fall."

Ertai smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Concubine Zhihua, I know what's going on."

As he said that, Ertai put Mianyi down again and took out a small toy from his arms, which was a delicate little wooden horse. He handed it to Mianyi and said, "Mianyi, uncle brought you a small gift. Do you like it?"

Mian Yi took the little wooden horse, her eyes lit up, and she said happily, "I like it. Thank you, Uncle Ertai!"

Ertai touched his head and said, "How good of you!"

At this time, Erkang and his son Dong'er also hurried over.

As soon as Dong'er saw Ertai, his eyes lit up. He immediately broke free from Erkang's hand, ran over, and shouted, "Uncle Ertai! You're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Ertai opened his arms, caught Dong'er, picked him up, spun him around and said, "Oh, Dong'er, you've grown so big! Uncle missed you so much!"

Dong'er hugged Ertai's neck and said happily: "Uncle Ertai, don't leave again now that you are back. I still have so much to say to you!"

Ertai smiled and said, "Okay, Dong'er, uncle will stay a little longer this time and have a good chat with you."

Nan'er also ran over, pulled Ertai's clothes, and said excitedly: "Uncle Ertai, you are back. Brother Dong'er and I are so happy! We have been looking forward to seeing you!"

Ertai looked at Nan'er and Dong'er with a face full of satisfaction, and said: "Nan'er, Dong'er, you are so old now, you are really becoming more and more sensible!"

As they talked, everyone walked into the house.

When they got to the house, Ertai looked at the little prince in Xiaoyanzi's arms and asked curiously, "Xiaoyanzi, is this your new baby? He's so handsome!"

Xiaoyanzi said proudly, "Of course! How can my son not be handsome!"

Yongqi smiled and said, "Ertai, you haven't given this little guy a name yet, you have to think about it carefully!"

Ertai thought for a while and said, "Well... this child is chubby, how about naming him Aixinjueluo Mianhong? It means he will have a great future!"

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, Ertai, this is a good name! I like it! Then let's call him Mianhong!"

Nan'er clapped her hands and said, "Great, my little brother has a name now. Brother Mianhong, it sounds really nice!"

Everyone laughed.

In the evening, the palace held a banquet to welcome Ertai.

At the banquet, Ertai raised his glass and said to everyone, "I am so happy to see you all again after coming back this time! Although I have experienced a lot in the past few years, I have always missed the days in our palace! Come, let me toast to you all first!"

After saying that, Ertai drank it all in one gulp.

Yongqi also raised his glass and said, "Ertai, you've been away for so long, you must tell us about your experiences outside!"

Ertai smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course! My experience is really rich and colorful!"

Xiaoyanzi couldn't wait to say, "Ertai, come on, don't keep us in suspense! Did you encounter anything interesting?"

Ertai put down his wine glass and began to tell the story: "The place I went to has a very strange custom. They hold a grand horse racing competition on every major festival. And this competition is not just about who can run faster, but also about completing various difficult movements on horseback! I also went to join in the fun and almost fell off the horse. It was so thrilling!"

Everyone listened with great interest. Xiaoyanzi widened her eyes and said, "Oh, that's too dangerous! Are you not hurt?"

Ertai smiled and said, "Fortunately, I am quite agile. I just got a little scratched. It's nothing serious!"

Zhihua also asked curiously: "Ertai, besides the horse racing competition, are there any other special things?"

Ertai thought for a moment and said, "There's more! The women there are very good at singing and dancing, and their dancing style is very different from ours, especially passionate and unrestrained! I also learned a few moves from them, and I'll show them to you later!"

Nan'er clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Great, great! Uncle Ertai is going to dance!"

Everyone laughed again.
