Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

As the boat slowly sailed, Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi and others were getting closer and closer to the palace. They were both reluctant to leave Jiangnan and looking forward to life after returning to the palace.

Finally, the ship arrived in the capital. After getting off the ship, everyone rushed back to the palace without stopping. The emperor had already learned of their return and was waiting for them in the palace.

Xiaoyanzi and others came to the palace, and after seeing the emperor, they knelt down to pay their respects.

"Your servant greets His Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

The emperor looked at them and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Get up. What have you gained from this trip to Jiangnan?" asked the emperor.

Xiaoyanzi said first: "Father Emperor, Jiangnan is so beautiful, there are so many delicious and fun things to do."

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "You only know how to eat and play. What about the others?"

Yongqi stepped forward and said respectfully, "Father, Jiangnan is picturesque and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I have also learned a lot from it."

Erkang also said: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan has a profound cultural heritage and rich folk art. This trip has broadened our horizons."

Ziwei said gently: "Father Emperor, the people in Jiangnan are very kind and warm, and life there is full of poetry."

After listening to their words, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, you all have gained something from this trip to Jiangnan. I hope you can apply what you have learned in Jiangnan to your future life," said the emperor.

After returning to the palace, everyone's life gradually returned to its previous rhythm. Xiaoyanzi started studying with the princes again, but now she was more serious about her studies.

In the school, Ji Xiaolan was very pleased to see the changes in Xiaoyanzi.

"Princess Huanzhu, you have made great progress after this trip to the south of the Yangtze River," said Ji Xiaolan.

Xiaoyanzi smiled proudly: "Master Ji, I also learned a lot in Jiangnan."

Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi from the side, his eyes full of admiration.

"Xiaoyanzi, you are getting stronger and stronger now." Yongqi said.

Little Swallow pouted and said, "Of course, I, Little Swallow, will not always lag behind."

Ziwei continued to accompany the emperor in the palace and help him solve his problems. Her gentleness and intelligence made the emperor love her even more.

One day, the Queen called Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei to Kunning Palace.

"Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, did anything interesting happen during your trip to the south of the Yangtze River?" asked the Queen.

Xiaoyanzi immediately excitedly talked about her experiences in Jiangnan, and the Queen and Madam Rong listened with great interest.

"Empress, Jiangnan is so beautiful, and we encountered many interesting things." Xiaoyanzi said.

Ziwei also smiled and added: "Empress, the people in Jiangnan are very welcoming, and we have also felt their kindness."

The Queen nodded and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot from your trip to Jiangnan. You should work harder in the future to help the Emperor."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei responded in unison: "Yes, Queen."

Days passed in the palace. However, the peaceful life did not last long. Concubine Ling's followers began to stir again.

One day, a young eunuch quietly came to Concubine Ling's bedroom and reported to her what happened after Xiaoyanzi and others returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, after Princess Huanzhu and Princess Ziwei returned to the palace, the Emperor has become even more fond of them. We can't just sit back and watch." said the little eunuch.

Concubine Ling's eyes turned cold: "Humph, do they think everything will be fine once they return to the palace? We must find a way to deal with them again."

Concubine Ling began to plan a new conspiracy. She decided to use some things that happened during Xiaoyanzi's trip to Jiangnan to spread rumors and destroy the reputation of Xiaoyanzi and others.

Soon after, rumors began to circulate in the palace about Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi in Jiangnan. Some said they were behaving improperly in Jiangnan, and others said they were colluding with people from the folk.

Xiaoyanzi was very angry when she heard these rumors.

"Who is talking nonsense? We clearly did nothing in Jiangnan." Xiaoyanzi said angrily.

Yongqi was also very angry. He decided to find out the source of the rumor and clear Xiaoyanzi's name.

"Xiaoyanzi, don't be angry. We will definitely find out the mastermind behind this and clear our name." Yongqi said.

Erkang and Ertai also joined the investigation team. They began to investigate secretly and found that these rumors were spread by Concubine Ling's followers.

They immediately told the emperor and empress about this.

After hearing this, the emperor's face darkened.

"This Concubine Ling has not given up yet. I must punish her severely." said the emperor.

The Queen also said: "Your Majesty, we cannot allow Concubine Ling to do whatever she wants. We must completely eradicate her power."

The emperor decided to punish Concubine Ling again and ordered a strict investigation of those who spread rumors. After some investigation, the emperor finally found evidence to confirm Concubine Ling's conspiracy.

Concubine Ling was punished by the emperor again, and her followers were also punished one after another. Xiaoyanzi and others finally cleared their grievances, and their reputations became even more famous.

After this incident, Xiaoyanzi and others became more vigilant. They knew that Ling Fei's followers would not give up, and they must always be vigilant to protect themselves and those around them.

In the palace, they continue to use their kindness and bravery to create a peaceful and stable living environment for the emperor and the people. And their story will continue to be played out in the palace...
