Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

In the early morning of the imperial palace, the sun gently sprinkled on the stone road in the courtyard, with mottled light and shadow. Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, Ziwei, Erkang, Princess Seya, Ertai and Jinsuo hurriedly walked towards the palace of Emperor Qianlong. Xiaoyanzi's steps were brisk. As she walked, she said, "The emperor is so wise, he will definitely restore the courtyard." Her eyes were full of expectation, and her hands were swinging unconsciously.

Ziwei nodded and said, "I hope so. The old people in the compound are all waiting for this good news." Ziwei's voice was soft, her eyes revealed a hint of worry, and her hand gently rested on Xiaoyanzi's arm.

Yongqi frowned and said, "We need to talk to the Emperor and explain the actual situation of the compound in detail." Yongqi's expression was serious, his hand was on the sword at his waist, and his steps were steady.

Erkang looked at everyone and said, "We can also tell the emperor the significance of the slum to those elderly people and its status in the hearts of the people in the capital. This way the emperor will consider it more comprehensively." Erkang's eyes were focused, his hand supporting his chin as he thought.

Princess Seya folded her arms across her chest and said, "In our Mongolia, a residence is very important to the elderly, just like their roots. The slums are the roots of those elderly people." Princess Seya's posture was upright and her eyes were firm as she spoke.

Ertai followed behind and said, "We must let the emperor know how many people's peace has been destroyed by Concubine Hua's conspiracy." There was a hint of indignation in Ertai's voice, and his pace quickened.

Jinsuo also said, "Princess, gentlemen, we must let the emperor see our determination." Jinsuo's eyes were bright and she followed Xiaoyanzi closely.

They arrived outside the palace of Emperor Qianlong, and after the guards informed them, they walked in. The palace was very solemn, and Emperor Qianlong was sitting on the dragon chair reading memorials.

After Xiaoyanzi and others paid their respects, Xiaoyanzi couldn't wait to say, "Father Emperor, you must restore the slum. The old people in the slum are now homeless. They are all kind-hearted people and should not be treated like this." Xiaoyanzi knelt on the ground, her eyes full of pleading, her body leaning forward slightly.

Emperor Qianlong put down the memorial, looked at Xiaoyanzi and said, "Xiaoyanzi, I know why you are here. I have already sent people to investigate the affairs of the Imperial Household Department. As long as it is confirmed that the slum was framed, I will naturally restore it." Qianlong's voice was steady, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Ziwei stepped forward and said, "Father Your Majesty, the slum is not just a place to live for those old people. It is where they have lived all their lives and it is their support. Moreover, the slum is a place full of warmth and kindness in the hearts of the people in the capital. Everyone knows that the old people there help each other and live in peace with the world. It is really unfair that Concubine Hua and Concubine Li targeted the slum in order to frame us." Ziwei's voice was soft but powerful. There was a sincere light in her eyes and she knelt slightly to salute.

Yongqi went on to say, "Father Your Majesty, you have also seen the residents of the slums come forward to testify. They are all honest and decent people. If the slums are judged as illegal buildings and demolished, the people of the capital will be disheartened. They will feel that their lives are not guaranteed under the power of this imperial palace." Yongqi's expression was serious. He looked up and looked directly at Emperor Qianlong, clasping his hands in salute.

Erkang also said: "Your Majesty, the existence of the slum did not violate any regulations, and it had always been peaceful before. It was suddenly judged to be an illegal building, and the conspiracy behind it is already obvious. If Your Majesty restores the slum, it will not only provide a home for those elderly people, but also show your fairness and kindness to the people of the capital." Erkang's eyes were firm, he stood straight, and his words were clear.

Princess Seya said on the side: "Your Majesty, in our Mongolia, if a leader can protect the weak, he will be respected by everyone. You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Restoring the slums is like protecting the weak, which will make your people love you more." Princess Seya performed a Mongolian salute, her eyes full of respect and expectation.

After listening to their words, Emperor Qianlong pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. I have decided to restore the legal status of the slums." Emperor Qianlong's voice was full of majesty, and his eyes revealed a firm determination.

When Little Swallow heard this, she jumped up with joy and said, "Long live the Emperor! You are so wise." Little Swallow's face was filled with a bright smile and she turned around excitedly.

Ziwei also showed a gratified smile and said, "Thank you, Father Emperor. Your decision will make many people happy." Tears flashed in Ziwei's eyes, and she bowed again to express her gratitude.

Yongqi, Erkang and others also expressed their gratitude.

Emperor Qianlong said: "However, since the slum is to be restored, it needs to be repaired well. I will allocate some money to make the slum look brand new." Emperor Qianlong waved his hand lightly, as if he had already seen the renovated slum.

Xiaoyanzi said quickly: "Father, we also want to contribute to the renovation of the slum. We can find craftsmen and prepare materials ourselves." Xiaoyanzi's eyes sparkled, her hands clenched into fists, full of energy.

Emperor Qianlong nodded and said, "Okay, I approve. However, you must supervise it carefully and make sure there are no mistakes in the project."

Xiaoyanzi and others happily left the palace and walked towards the slum.

The compound looked a bit run-down at this time, with mottled walls and overgrown weeds. The old people sat together, their eyes filled with helplessness and expectation.

Little Swallow ran over and said loudly, "Grandpa and grandma, the Emperor has restored the courtyard and will allocate money for its repairs. We will help too." Little Swallow's voice was clear and loud, and her eyes were full of joy.

When the old people heard this, they all stood up with pleasant smiles on their faces. An old man said excitedly: "It's great, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the princesses." The old man's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were moist.

Ziwei walked among the elderly people and said, "Grandpas and grandmas, let's start planning the renovation of the compound now." Ziwei's voice was gentle and kind, and her eyes were full of warmth.

Yongqi said: "Erkang and I will contact the craftsmen we agreed on before. They have excellent skills." Yongqi put his hand on Erkang's shoulder, and they smiled at each other.

Erkang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now." After that, the two turned around and left the compound.

Princess Seya said: "I can ask Mongolia to send some special building materials to make the courtyard more distinctive." Princess Seya's eyes sparkled with pride and she straightened up.

Ertai said: "Then I will help clear the weeds in the yard and clean up this place first." Ertai rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work.

Jinsuo said, "I can go with Xiaoyanzi to pick out some daily necessities suitable for the compound, such as tables, chairs, benches, etc." Jinsuo's voice was crisp, and she looked at Xiaoyanzi with anticipation in her eyes.

Little Swallow said happily: "Okay, let's go now."

As a result, the slum began to become lively, and everyone was busy renovating the slum.

Yongqi and Erkang came to the place where the craftsmen lived, which was a simple wooden house area. Yongqi shouted loudly: "Masters, we are here to disturb you again." Yongqi's voice echoed in the wooden house area.

An old master came out and said with a smile: "Fifth Prince, Young Master Erkang, what brings you here today?" The old master's face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were bright.

Erkang said, "Master, the slum can be restored. The emperor has allocated money for its repairs. We would like to ask you to help repair the slum." Erkang's expression was sincere and he saluted to the master.

When the old master heard this, he said happily: "This is a good thing. We must do a good job."

Yongqi said, "Master, we can't be careless on this project. We have to renovate the slum to make it both solid and beautiful." Yongqi looked at the master with a serious look.

The old master patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Brother. The skills of us craftsmen are inherited from our ancestors. We will definitely not let you down."

On the other side, Xiaoyanzi and Jinsuo were choosing daily necessities at the market, which was crowded with people and full of various commodities.

Xiaoyanzi stopped in front of a table and chair stall, picked up a chair, looked at it and said, "Jinsuo, look at this chair, it's sturdy and beautiful, very suitable for the slum." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were full of excitement, she shook the chair to check if it was sturdy.

Jinsuo looked at it carefully and said, "Princess, this chair is good, but we need to look at more. Maybe there are better ones." Jinsuo's eyes scanned the surrounding stalls.

Little Swallow ran to a stall selling bedding, picked up a quilt, touched it, and said, "This quilt is so soft. It must be very comfortable for the elderly to cover themselves with it." Little Swallow's face was filled with smiles, and she hugged the quilt in her arms.

Jinsuo smiled and said, "Princess, let's make a list of what we need first, and then slowly choose." Jinsuo took out a piece of paper and a pen from his arms.

Xiaoyanzi nodded and said, "Good idea."

Princess Seya wrote a letter to Mongolia to prepare building materials. She sat in a corner of the compound, the sun shining on her. As she wrote, she said, "These materials will definitely make the compound unique." Princess Seya's eyes were full of anticipation.

Ertai worked hard to weed the yard, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He said as he pulled out the weeds: "There are really a lot of weeds, but after we clear them, we can start the real repair work." Ertai had a determined smile on his face.

With everyone's efforts, the renovation of the compound is gradually underway. In the palace, although Concubine Hua and Concubine Li are under house arrest, Concubine Ling is secretly observing everything. I wonder what new plan she is planning... (Subsequent content will be updated continuously)
