Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

The morning sun shines through the mottled leaves and onto the paths of the palace. Although Xiang Fei and Meng Dan have not slept all night, their eyes are full of expectations for the future, but this expectation is mixed with a little uneasiness about the unknown.

Xiang Fei was packing her bag carefully, and the maid was helping her fold the clothes. She couldn't help but say, "Xiang Fei, look at this handkerchief. It's the one you used when you first entered the palace. Do you want to take it with you? Humph!"

Xiang Fei gently picked up the handkerchief, with a ripple of memories in her eyes, and said, "Take it with you. This can be regarded as a memory of the past in this palace. Humph! Although I will start a new life in the future, the days in this palace cannot be easily forgotten. Humph!"

The maid nodded and said, "Yes, Madam. But when you arrive in Dali, you will have a new and happy life. You will be very happy with Brother Mengdan! Humph!"

Xiang Fei smiled and said, "I hope so. But during this period of hiding my identity, I have to be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong. Humph!"

At this time, Xiaoyanzi rushed in with a small bundle in her hand. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted: "Madam Xiangfei, Brother Mengdan, I'm here! Humph! I brought you some things you may need on the road, but they are all good things! Humph!"

Xiang Fei raised her head in surprise and said, "Xiaoyanzi, what are you doing... humph!"

Xiaoyanzi put the bag on the table, patted her chest and said, "My lady, I thought you would need something since you have a long journey. Here are some medicines and some small things I made to entertain you on the road. Humph!"

Meng Dan came over and said gratefully: "Miss Xiaoyanzi, thank you so much! Humph! Your kindness is really touching. Humph!"

Little Swallow waved her hands and said, "Oh, what are you thanking me for? We are all friends. I hope you can enjoy your life in Dali! Humph!"

As he was talking, Yongqi also walked in and said with a smile: "Empress Xiang Fei, Brother Meng Dan, Xiaoyanzi and I are here to see you off. Humph! Although the emperor has made all the arrangements along the way, you still have to be more careful. Humph!"

Meng Dan nodded and said, "Brother Yongqi, thank you for your concern. We will be careful. Humph!"

Yongqi looked at Xiang Fei and said, "Madam Xiang Fei, when you get to Dali, if you have the chance, please write us a letter so that we can know how you are doing. Humph!"

Xiang Fei replied, "Well, Brother Yongqi, if there is really such an opportunity, I will definitely let you know. Humph! But since I am hiding my real name, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass on the message. Humph!"

Little Swallow interrupted and said, "Oh, who cares! We'll talk about it when the time comes! Humph! Anyway, it's all that matters as long as you guys are doing well! Humph!"

Soon, Ziwei, Qing'er and Jinsuo also came together.

Ziwei walked forward and said to Xiang Fei gently, "Madam Xiang Fei, we came to see you. We don't know when we will meet again after this separation. Humph! When you arrive in Dali, you must take good care of yourself. Humph!"

Xiang Fei held Ziwei's hand and said, "Ziwei, I will. You should also take good care of yourself in this palace. Humph!"

Qing Er also said, "Madam Xiang Fei, the scenery in Dali is so beautiful. You and Brother Meng Dan will definitely like it. Humph! I hope you will be happy every day there! Humph!"

Jinsuo nodded and said, "Yes, Madam, you can go without any worries. We will all be thinking of you. Humph!"

While everyone was talking, Ali Hezhuo also arrived. He looked at Xiang Fei with eyes full of reluctance and said, "Han Xiang, your father will come to see you again. After this separation, you will never see each other again. Humph! When you arrive in Dali, you must live a good life and don't let your father worry. Humph!"

Xiang Fei's eyes were red, and she said, "Father, don't worry, your daughter will be fine. You must take care of yourself in Huijiang. Humph!"

Ali Hezhuo looked at Mengdan again and said seriously: "Mengdan, Hanxiang is now handed over to you. You must treat her well. If you let her suffer any injustice, I will not forgive you! Humph!"

Meng Dan clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Prince Ali Hezhuo, don't worry, I will protect Hanxiang with my life and will never let her suffer any injustice! Humph!"

At this time, Madam Rong and Madam Gui were also whispering not far away.

Rong Mama whispered, "Humph! Are Xiang Fei and Meng Dan really leaving like this? I don't know if there will be any trouble in the future. Humph!"

Aunt Gui echoed, "That's right. Can you hide your identity from everyone? Humph!"

Concubine Ling was just passing by. When she heard what they were saying, she glared at them and said, "You two should stop worrying about this! Humph! The Emperor has already made all the arrangements. How could there be any trouble? Humph!"

The Queen also came over, looked at Xiang Fei and Meng Dan, and sneered, "Humph! I hope you can really live peacefully in Dali as the Emperor wishes, and don't cause trouble for the Qing Dynasty! Humph!"

The old Buddha came slowly and said solemnly: "Xiang Fei, Meng Dan, this time, it's all up to you. Humph! Always remember, don't ruin this hard-won situation due to a momentary negligence. Humph!"

Xiang Fei and Meng Dan hurriedly bowed and said, "We will definitely remember the old Buddha's teachings! Humph!"

In the afternoon, everything was ready. Xiang Fei and Meng Dan changed into simple clothes and prepared to set off. The guards sent by the emperor were waiting outside the palace gate to escort them all the way to Dali, Yunnan.

Meng Dan looked at Xiang Fei and said softly, "Han Xiang, let's go now. A new life is about to begin. Humph!"

Xiang Fei took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's go, Meng Dan. No matter what the future holds, we will face it together. Humph!"

Just as they were about to step out of the palace gate, Xiaoyanzi suddenly shouted, "Wait! Lady Xiangfei, Brother Mengdan, I have something to say! Humph!"

Everyone looked at Xiaoyanzi. Xiaoyanzi ran up to them, her eyes slightly red, and said, "My queen, big brother, if you have a baby when you get to Dali, you must tell us! Humph!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing. Xiang Fei also blushed and said, "Xiaoyanzi, what are you talking about! Humph!"

Meng Dan smiled and said, "Miss Xiaoyanzi, if that day really comes, I will definitely tell you. Humph!"

Afterwards, Xiang Fei and Meng Dan followed the guards and slowly walked out of the palace gate under the gaze of everyone. They looked back at the palace where they once lived, with mixed feelings in their hearts, but more of a longing for the future, and then resolutely embarked on the journey to Dali, Yunnan.
