Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

In the palace, there was a peaceful and tranquil scene. Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were in Shufangzhai, enjoying this rare peaceful time.

Xiaoyanzi lay on the chair, crossed her legs, and said with a smile: "Oh, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. That Concubine Ling should not dare to cause trouble again recently."

Ziwei sat aside, fanning herself gently, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyanzi, we can't let our guard down. Who knows if she will come up with any bad ideas again."

At this time, Jinsuo came over with a worried look on her face. "Girls, it's better to be careful."

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi also nodded in agreement. "Yes, Gege, we can't let our guard down."

Mingyue and Caixia were busy preparing fruits for Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, saying, "Princess, we will always be with you."

On the other side, Concubine Ling and Concubine Hua were discussing the next plan in the palace.

Concubine Ling frowned, her eyes full of calculation. "We can't let Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei be so proud."

Hua Fei fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand, with a slight smile on her face. "Hmph, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to deal with them."

Just then, a eunuch came to report that the Empress Dowager, Qing'er, Concubine Chun and Concubine Ying had returned from Mount Wutai.

The palace suddenly became lively and people rushed to greet him.

Xiaoyanzi took Ziwei's hand and said excitedly: "Ziwei, I heard that the Queen Mother is back. I wonder if she will like us."

Ziwei was a little nervous. "Xiaoyanzi, we have to be careful and not upset the Queen Mother."

When the Queen Mother and others appeared in front of everyone, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

Xiaoyanzi said loudly: "Xiaoyanzi pays her respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed."

Ziwei also said gently: "Ziwei pays respects to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be well."

The Queen Mother looked at them and nodded slightly. "Get up."

Qing'er looked at Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei with a smile, her eyes full of encouragement.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Ying looked at them kindly and nodded slightly.

Hua Fei was standing aside, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

Back in the palace, the Queen Mother summoned everyone.

The Queen Mother sat at the top and said solemnly, "I learned a lot from this trip to Mount Wutai. Now that I am back in the palace, I hope everyone can live in harmony."

Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but interrupt, "Queen Mother, we have always been in harmony."

Ziwei gently pulled on the corner of Xiaoyanzi's clothes, signaling her not to talk too much.

The Queen Mother glanced at Xiaoyanzi and continued, "But I have also heard some bad things. Concubine Ling, do you have anything to say?"

Concubine Ling was startled and knelt down immediately. "Empress Dowager, I don't know what you are referring to."

The Queen Mother snorted. "Hmph, you know what you did."

Concubine Chun said at the side: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Ling has indeed been a little too much recently."

Concubine Ying also nodded and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, she always targets Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei."

Seeing this, Concubine Hua quickly said, "Queen Dowager, there may be a misunderstanding."

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Hua, her eyes full of majesty. "Misunderstanding? Then explain it to me clearly."

Concubine Ling and Concubine Hua were speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Qing Er stood up. "Queen Mother, why don't you let Xiao Yan Zi and Zi Wei tell us what happened?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly. "Okay, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, you can tell us."

Xiaoyanzi immediately stood up and told them everything about how Concubine Ling had made things difficult for them.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face became even gloomier. "Ling Fei, do you have anything else to say?"

Concubine Ling could only bow her head and admit her mistake. "Empress Dowager, I know I was wrong. Please punish me."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "Humph, I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, I won't let you off easily."

Concubine Ling quickly thanked her. "Thank you, Queen Mother."

After this incident, Concubine Ling and Concubine Hua did not dare to take any action for the time being. Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei also felt more at ease under the protection of the Queen Mother.

In Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi said happily: "Haha, the Queen Mother really helped us a lot this time."

Ziwei also smiled. "Yes, but we still have to be careful."

Jinsuo said at the side: "Girls, we don't have to be afraid of Concubine Ling anymore."

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi also said happily: "Yes, Gege, now that the Queen Mother is back, we have someone to back us up."

Mingyue and Caixia also nodded and said, "Princess, we will always protect you."

On the other hand, Concubine Ling and Concubine Hua were unwilling to accept defeat.

Concubine Ling gritted her teeth and said, "We can't just let it go like this. We must find a way to turn the tables."

Hua Fei also nodded and said, "That's right, we can't let Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei be so proud."

They began to plot a new conspiracy...
