Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

After Xiaoyanzi and others returned to the palace, they were a little nervous, not knowing what was waiting for them.

At the same time, Qianlong arrived at the Queen's palace. When the Queen saw Qianlong, she quickly stood up and saluted.

"Good luck to the Emperor," said the Queen.

Qianlong waved his hand slightly: "Queen, please don't be polite. I have something to say to you."

The Queen looked at Qianlong in confusion: "What does the Emperor want?"

Qianlong hesitated for a moment, then said: "I will tell you one thing. In fact, Xiaoyanzi is not my biological daughter. Ziwei is my biological daughter."

The queen widened her eyes in surprise: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Qianlong sighed and told the Queen everything about Xiaoyanzi's entry into the palace and how she helped Ziwei.

"At the beginning, Xiaoyanzi entered the palace by accident and was mistakenly thought by me to be my daughter. But Ziwei is the real princess." Qianlong said.

The Queen frowned slightly: "Then why did the Emperor say it now?"

Qianlong said helplessly: "I have only recently confirmed this. Moreover, I don't want Xiaoyanzi to be hurt because of this matter. Although she is not my biological daughter, she is a very kind child."

The Queen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't have any opinion on Xiaoyanzi because of this matter."

Qianlong smiled with satisfaction: "I am relieved that the Queen thinks so."

Just then, Concubine Ling came in with a group of palace maids.

When Concubine Ling saw Emperor Qianlong and the Empress, she bowed quickly and said, "Good luck to the Emperor and the Empress."

Qianlong nodded slightly: "Get up."

Concubine Ling stood up, her eyes moving between Qianlong and the Empress, secretly guessing what they were talking about.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xiaoyanzi and the others left the palace. Is this true?" Concubine Ling asked softly.

Qianlong frowned slightly: "It was the Queen who allowed them to leave the palace to do business."

Concubine Ling's heart was moved, but a concerned expression appeared on her face: "Your Majesty, there are rumors everywhere now. If they go out like this, what if something happens?"

Qianlong glanced at Concubine Ling and said, "I have already told them to be careful."

Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Your Majesty has thought it through. But I am worried that this rumor might be spread by someone deliberately targeting Xiaoyanzi and the others."

Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I am also asking people to investigate this matter. If I find out who is behind this, I will not let them off easily."

Concubine Ling said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise. I will also pay attention to this matter and share your worries."

Qianlong nodded: "Okay, you can leave now."

Concubine Ling bowed and withdrew, but she was thinking about how to make use of this opportunity.

On the other side, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were worried about the rumors.

"Ziwei, what do you think we should do? When will this rumor be quelled?" Xiaoyanzi asked with a frown.

Ziwei frowned slightly: "We can only wait for the results of the investigation by the Emperor Father."

Xiaoyanzi sighed helplessly: "It's so annoying."

At this time, Yongqi, Erkang and Ertai came over.

Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi and said gently, "Don't worry, Xiaoyanzi, we will always be with you."

Xiaoyanzi felt warm in her heart: "Yes, I know."

Erkang also said: "We have to trust the emperor, he will definitely handle this matter well."

Ertai nodded: "Yes, Xiaoyanzi, don't think so much."

Xiaoyanzi bit her lip: "Okay, what should we do now?"

Yongqi thought for a moment and said, "We should keep a low profile and not give those who spread rumors an opportunity to take advantage of us."

Xiaoyanzi said helplessly: "Okay, this is the only way."

As the days passed, the situation in the palace became more and more tense, and Xiaoyanzi and the others were waiting for the moment when the truth would be revealed.

One day, the eunuch around Qianlong came to tell Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Yongqi and others to go to the imperial study.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

When we arrived at the imperial study, Qianlong was sitting at the desk with a serious expression on his face.

"Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Yongqi, Erkang, Ertai, I have found the source of the rumors." Qianlong said.

Xiaoyanzi asked quickly, "Father Emperor, who is spreading rumors?"

Qianlong frowned slightly: "Some people who are jealous of you are behind this. I have dealt with them."

Xiaoyanzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, the truth is finally out."

Ziwei also said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Qianlong looked at them and said earnestly: "This incident also teaches you a lesson. You must be more careful in the palace in the future and don't trust others easily."

Xiaoyanzi and the others nodded quickly: "Yes, Father Huang."

Qianlong looked at Yongqi again and said, "Yongqi, as a prince, you must take good care of Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei."

Yongqi bowed and said, "I obey your command."

Qianlong nodded: "Okay, you all go down."

After Xiaoyanzi and the others left, they were filled with emotion. After this incident, they also understood more clearly the complexity and dangers in the palace.

In Concubine Ling's palace, she was very angry when she learned that the source of the rumors had been discovered.

"These people are so useless. They were found out so quickly." Concubine Ling said to herself.

A maid said cautiously: "My lady, what should we do now?"

Concubine Ling's eyes turned cold: "Humph, we can't just let it go like this. We must find a way to get rid of Xiaoyanzi and the others."

The palace maids were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.

The crisis in the palace has not been resolved. What challenges will Xiaoyanzi and her friends face?
