Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

In the early morning of the imperial palace, the sunlight was like golden silk threads, shining through the mottled leaves and onto the ground, forming a pattern of interlaced light and shadow. In Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, Ziwei, Erkang and Princess Seya were sitting around the stone table, nervously arranging tasks for Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi.

Xiaoyanzi stared at Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi, gesturing with her hands and said, "Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, you must be careful. There must be a lot of guards and spies around Concubine Hua's palace. You can't be discovered." Xiaoyanzi frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry.

Little Dengzi bowed respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Princess. We will be careful. But how can we get close to the people around Concubine Hua?" There was a hint of doubt in little Dengzi's eyes, and his hands were tugging at the corner of his clothes nervously.

After thinking for a moment, Yongqi said, "You can pretend to deliver something, such as some fresh fruits or snacks. When the people in Concubine Hua's place see the food, they shouldn't be too defensive." Yongqi supported his chin with his hand and looked at Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi with a serious expression.

Ziwei nodded in agreement and said, "Yongqi, this is a good idea. However, the gifts you send must look very exquisite so as not to arouse suspicion." Ziwei's voice was gentle and steady, and she gently fiddled with the teacup on the stone table.

Erkang added: "Also, you should pay attention to your words and actions. Don't act too nervous, be as natural as usual. If you are asked any questions, try to answer briefly and don't say unnecessary words." Erkang sat upright, his hand on the hilt of the sword, his eyes full of caution.

Princess Seya said on the side: "In our Mongolia, it takes a lot of courage to carry out such a mission. Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, you are as brave as our Mongolian warriors." Princess Seya's eyes were full of encouragement, and she clenched her fists to cheer them up.

Xiao Zhuozi straightened his chest and said, "Thank you all masters for your teachings. We will remember them." Xiao Zhuozi's eyes became firm. He looked at Xiao Dengzi, and they nodded to each other.

Xiaoyanzi stood up, walked to Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi, took out some change from her bosom, handed it to them, and said, "Take this money, you can use it if you need anything." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were full of trust, and she patted Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi on the shoulders.

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi took the silver, bowed again, and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Then, Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi set off. They walked cautiously towards Hua Fei's palace.

Hua Fei's palace was called Yikun Palace. It was tall and magnificent, and its red walls were particularly dazzling in the sun. There were several guards standing at the gate of the palace, holding long spears and scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi walked to the palace gate. Xiao Dengzi took a deep breath, walked up to the guard and said, "Big brother, we are Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi from Shufangzhai. Our princess asked us to deliver some fresh fruits and snacks to Empress Hua." Xiao Dengzi had a flattering smile on his face. He looked at the guard with an exquisite food box in his hand.

The guard looked at them, then at the food box and said, "Leave it here, we'll take it in." The guard's voice was cold, and he had no intention of letting Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi in.

Little Dengzi's heart tightened, but he still said with a smile: "Brother, our princess said that these fruits and snacks must be handed over to Concubine Hua's maids in person. This is the only way to show our Shufangzhai's sincerity. Please be flexible." Little Dengzi leaned forward slightly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, you can go in. But don't wander around. Come out as soon as you've delivered the things."

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother."

They walked into the Yikun Palace, where a faint fragrance filled the air. The palace maids came and went, busy shuttling back and forth. Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi looked around, looking for a suitable target.

Suddenly, Xiao Dengzi saw a palace maid standing alone in a corner arranging flower pots. He winked at Xiao Zhuozi, and then the two of them walked towards the palace maid.

Little Dengzi walked up to the palace maid and said with a smile, "Sister, we are Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi from Shufangzhai. Our princess asked us to send some fruits and snacks to Concubine Hua. Please help me accept them." As Little Dengzi spoke, he opened the food box, revealing the fresh fruits and exquisite snacks inside.

The palace maid raised her head, looked at them and said, "So you are from Shufangzhai. Put you here." The palace maid's voice was very flat and she didn't have much expression.

Little Dengzi had no intention of leaving. He smiled and said, "Sister, these fruits and snacks were carefully selected by our princess. Sister, it must be very hard for you to work for Concubine Hua." There was a hint of curiosity in little Dengzi's eyes, and he tried to get closer to the palace maid.

The palace maid glanced at Xiao Dengzi and said, "It's okay. You can go." The palace maid's attitude was still cold.

Xiao Zhuozi said from the side: "Sister, we heard that Concubine Hua is very powerful. Do we have to be extra careful when doing things around her?" There was a hint of awe in Xiao Zhuozi's eyes, and his body leaned forward slightly.

After hearing what Xiao Zhuozi said, the maid raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Of course. Empress Hua is not easy to mess with. If you do something wrong, you will be punished." The maid's expression became a little serious, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

Little Dengzi took the opportunity to say, "Sister, it's really not easy for you. By the way, sister, we have encountered some strange things in Shufangzhai recently. I wonder if you have heard about it?" Little Dengzi lowered his voice a little, his eyes fixed on the palace maid.

The palace maid looked at Xiao Dengzi in confusion and said, "What's so strange? How would I know about what's happening in your Shufangzhai?" There was a hint of confusion in the palace maid's eyes.

Xiao Zhuozi said quickly: "Sister, it's like this. Our princess wanted to renovate the houses for the elderly in the compound, but it was suddenly determined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be an illegal building and was forcibly demolished. We suspect someone is behind this." There was a hint of anger in Xiao Zhuozi's eyes, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

After hearing what Xiao Zhuozi said, the maid's face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal and said, "What does this have to do with our Concubine Hua? Don't suspect people rashly." The maid's voice became a little stiff, and she turned around and was about to leave.

Little Dengzi noticed something was wrong with the palace maid, so he quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Sister, we don't doubt Concubine Hua's intention. We just want to ask you, have you heard any rumors? Sister, if you know anything, please tell us. We are really anxious." There was a hint of pleading in little Dengzi's eyes, and his body almost knelt down.

The maid hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then whispered, "I don't know anything. You should leave quickly. If someone sees me talking to you, I will be in trouble." The maid broke free from Xiao Dengzi's hand and hurried away.

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi looked at each other. They knew that this palace maid must know something.

Xiao Dengzi said: "Xiao Zhuozi, we can't give up like this. Let's find someone else to try." Xiao Dengzi's eyes were firm and his fists were clenched tightly.

Xiao Zhuozi nodded and said, "Okay."

They were looking for their target in the Yikun Palace again. Suddenly, they heard two eunuchs talking in a low voice.

A eunuch said, "Have you heard? The incident in the compound was planned by Concubine Hua."

Another eunuch asked in surprise: "Really? Why would Concubine Hua do this?"

The first eunuch whispered, "It's because Princess Xiaoyan and the others always go against Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua wants to teach them a lesson."

When Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi heard the news, they were overjoyed. They quietly followed the two eunuchs, wanting to hear more.

The two eunuchs walked to a secluded corner and continued their discussion.

The first eunuch said, "Empress Hua asked Empress Li to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and make arrangements, and the compound was declared an illegal building. Moreover, Empress Hua was planning to frame Princess Xiaoyanzi and the others in front of the emperor when they went to ask for his help."

The second eunuch said worriedly, "Isn't this too much? If the emperor finds out, Concubine Hua will be in trouble."

The first eunuch sneered and said, "How would the emperor know? As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know."

When Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi heard this, they knew they had enough evidence. They left Yikun Palace cautiously and headed towards Shufangzhai.

In Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, Ziwei, Erkang and Princess Seya were waiting anxiously.

When Xiaoyanzi saw Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi coming back, she hurried to greet them and said, "Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, how are you? Have you heard any news?" Xiaoyanzi's eyes were full of anticipation, and her hands tightly grasped Xiao Dengzi's arm.

Little Dengzi panted and said, "Princess, we found out. The incident of the slum was indeed planned by Concubine Hua. She asked Concubine Li to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make arrangements, and then the slum was declared an illegal building. Moreover, she was planning to frame you, Princess, in front of the Emperor." There was a hint of anger in little Dengzi's eyes, and his body was shaking slightly with excitement.

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she said angrily, "This Concubine Hua has gone too far. Let's go and settle the score with her." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were burning with anger, and she turned around and was about to leave.

Yongqi quickly grabbed Xiaoyanzi and said, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be impulsive. We have evidence now, we need to plan carefully and can't act rashly." Yongqi held Xiaoyanzi's arm tightly, his eyes serious and firm.

Ziwei also said: "Yongqi is right. We have to think of a way to let the emperor know about Concubine Hua's conspiracy, while at the same time preventing Concubine Hua from biting us back." Ziwei's voice was gentle and calm, and her eyes were full of wisdom.

Erkang nodded and said, "We can write down this evidence and then find a suitable opportunity to present it to the emperor. However, we must be careful not to let this evidence fall into the hands of Concubine Hua." Erkang's expression was serious, his hand on his chin, thinking about the specific plan.

Princess Seya said: "In our Mongolia, when dealing with such a wicked person, we will let everyone know her evil deeds. We will also let everyone in the palace know about Concubine Hua's conspiracy." Princess Seya's eyes were firm and she clenched her fists to show her determination.

So, they began to discuss how to present the evidence to the emperor and how to let everyone in the palace know about Concubine Hua's conspiracy. Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace didn't know that her conspiracy had been discovered by Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi, and was still secretly planning her next move...
