Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

The morning sun shines through the mottled leaves and shines on the courtyard in front of the palace where Concubine Hua lives. In the courtyard, several peonies are in full bloom, and the layers of petals are delicate and swaying gently in the breeze, as if showing off their beauty. A butterfly dances among the flowers, occasionally resting on the stamens, and the colorful scales on its wings sparkle charmingly in the sun.

Concubine Hua sat on a carved bench in the palace, with a sly look in her eyes. She gently stroked her armor, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips. The housekeeper beside her stood respectfully, eyes downcast, waiting for Concubine Hua's instructions.

Hua Fei slowly said, "Madam, have you heard about Concubine Xiao's incident?" Her voice was gentle, but it carried an unquestionable majesty. Hua Fei's fingers rhythmically tapped the armrest of the bench, her eyes fixed on the void in front of her.

The housekeeper quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Concubine Xiao was confined to her room for a month by the Emperor for ruining Princess Seya's marriage." The housekeeper bent down slightly and folded her hands in front of her.

Concubine Hua sneered lightly and said, "Although this Concubine Xiao is a little reckless, she is also thoughtful. Mammy, please arrange to find a smarter palace maid to go to Concubine Xiao and be her personal maid. She will be used by me in the future." A trace of calculation flashed in Concubine Hua's eyes. She sat up straight and placed her hands naturally on her legs.

The housekeeper asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao just made a mistake, why should we still be involved with her?" The housekeeper raised her head and looked at Concubine Hua with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes at the nanny and said, "What do you know? Although Concubine Xiao was punished, she is a noble in the palace after all. Moreover, she had the courage to do such a thing, which shows that she is still useful. I will place someone next to her, so that I can monitor her and, if there is any need in the future, I can use her to do something." There was a hint of impatience in Concubine Hua's tone. She stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the peonies outside the window.

The housekeeper suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise. I'll arrange it right away." The housekeeper bowed respectfully and then retreated.

In the palace where Concubine Xiao was confined, Concubine Xiao was sitting by the bed, with a hint of frustration in her eyes. Her room was decorated very exquisitely, but at the moment she had no mood to appreciate it. Her fingers unconsciously tugged at the bed sheet, her heart full of regret.

"Why am I so impulsive? Now I'm under house arrest for a month. How am I going to live in this palace?" Concubine Xiao muttered softly, her shoulders drooping slightly and she looked a little listless.

At this time, her personal maid came in and said softly, "My dear, don't be too sad. This month will pass quickly." The maid's voice was very gentle. She walked forward and gently patted Noble Lady Xiao on the shoulder.

Concubine Xiao sighed and said, "It's easy for you to say that. I have offended a lot of people this time." She raised her head and looked at the palace maid, her eyes full of worry.

At this moment, the housekeeper sent by Concubine Hua came to Concubine Xiao's palace with a palace maid.

The housekeeper nanny walked into the room and said with a smile, "Lady Xiao, I've brought you a palace maid. This maid is smart and hardworking. The queen thought that you are under house arrest now and may not have enough people around you, so she asked me to bring her to you." The nanny's face was full of smiles and her eyes were narrowed into slits.

Concubine Xiao looked at the housekeeper and the palace maid with some confusion and asked, "Is this Empress Hua's kindness?" She stood up and walked to the housekeeper with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Sir, this is of course the Queen's good intention. The Queen also sympathizes with your situation." The housekeeper's eyes were sincere and there was no trace of flaw.

Concubine Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Well, since it is Concubine Hua's kindness, I will accept this maid." Concubine Xiao looked at the maid and said, "What is your name?"

The palace maid bowed respectfully and said, "My lord, my name is Xiaozhu." Xiaozhu's voice was clear and pleasant. She lowered her head and looked at the ground.

Concubine Xiao nodded and said, "Then you will serve me well from now on."

Xiao Zhu bowed again and said, "Yes, my lord, I will serve you wholeheartedly."

When the housekeeper saw that the matter was settled, she said, "My lady, I will go back and report first." After that, she left Noble Lady Xiao's palace.

In Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Yongqi, Erkang, Ertai and Princess Seya are discussing the follow-up arrangements for the marriage of Ertai and Princess Seya.

Xiaoyanzi jumped around the room excitedly and said, "Seyya, your marriage to Ertai is finally going smoothly. We have to celebrate it." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were shining with joy and her hands were waving constantly.

Ziwei smiled and said, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be so excited. Although the matter has been resolved now, we still have to be careful. After all, things in the palace are unpredictable." Ziwei sat on the chair with her hands on her legs, a hint of caution in her eyes.

Yongqi also nodded and said, "Ziwei is right. We can't be careless. I don't know what Concubine Hua is planning." Yongqi stood aside, his hands folded in front of his chest with a serious expression.

Ertai said: "No matter what conspiracy Concubine Hua has, as long as we all unite together, we will be able to deal with it." Ertai's eyes were firm. He held Princess Seya's hand and gave her an encouraging look.

Princess Seya said: "Yes, I believe we can do it. However, let's make preparations for the wedding first." There was a hint of shyness on Princess Seya's face, and her head was slightly lowered.

Erkang said, "Then let's start by choosing the wedding dresses." Erkang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, thinking.

Just when everyone was discussing the matter enthusiastically, Xiao Dengzi hurried in and said, "My lords, I have heard a piece of news." Xiao Dengzi was panting, he bent over with his hands on his knees.

Yongqi asked, "Little Dengzi, what's the news?" Yongqi walked up to Little Dengzi and stared at him.

Xiao Dengzi took a breath and said, "I heard that Concubine Hua sent a maid to Concubine Xiao, and this maid looks very smart."

Xiaoyanzi frowned and said, "Why is Concubine Hua suddenly so nice to Concubine Xiao? There must be some conspiracy." Xiaoyanzi put her hands on her hips, her eyes full of suspicion.

Ziwei also said: "Xiaoyanzi is right. Concubine Hua must have a purpose in doing this, we have to be careful and vigilant." Ziwei's eyes were filled with worry, she stood up and walked to Xiaoyanzi.

Erkang thought for a while and said, "We can let Xiao Zhuozi approach the palace maid and see if we can get something out of her."

Ertai nodded and said, "This method is feasible. But Xiao Zhuozi must be careful and not be discovered."

Yongqi said, "That's our decision then. Xiao Dengzi, go call Xiao Zhuozi over and we'll make the arrangements."

Little Dengzi said, "Yes, master." After that, he hurriedly left Shufangzhai.

Elsewhere in the palace, Concubine Ling also heard about Concubine Hua sending a maid to Concubine Xiao. She sat in her bedroom with a look of deep thought in her eyes.

Concubine Ling's personal maid said, "Your Majesty, what is Concubine Hua planning now?" The maid stood aside, looking at Concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling sighed softly and said, "This Concubine Hua is always restless. No matter what conspiracy she has, let's wait and see, and then find a way to deal with it." Concubine Ling stroked her hair gently with her fingers, her expression calm.

With Hua Fei's plan, the atmosphere in the palace has become tense again. All parties are watching in secret, waiting for new variables to emerge. Can Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and others see through Hua Fei's conspiracy again and successfully deal with the challenges in the palace? ... (Subsequent content will be continuously updated)
