Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

In the early morning, the courtyard was shrouded in a light morning mist. The sun shone through the mist, adding a hazy beauty to this place under renovation. Xiaoyanzi came to the courtyard early in the morning. Her eyes were sparkling, and she was full of energy as she looked at the busy scene in front of her.

Little Swallow ran to the craftsman who was building a wall and asked curiously, "Master, when will this wall be completed?" She squatted down, stared at the bricks in the craftsman's hands, and supported her chin with both hands.

The craftsman smiled and replied, "Sister, at this rate, we'll be able to complete this wall in two or three days." The craftsman had a simple smile on his face, and his hands didn't stop moving at all.

The little swallow jumped up excitedly and said, "That's great! The yard will soon have a new look." She waved her arms and ran around in the yard like a happy little bird.

Ziwei also came to the slum, holding some flower seeds in her hand, and said to Xiaoyanzi, "Xiaoyanzi, I want to plant some flowers in the yard. After the slum is repaired, it will become more beautiful." Ziwei's voice was gentle and pleasant, and her eyes were full of longing.

Little Swallow ran to Ziwei, looked at the flower seeds and said, "Ziwei, this is a great idea! After planting the flowers, this place will be like a garden." Little Swallow's eyes were shining with excitement. She took some flower seeds from Ziwei and said, "Let's plant them now."

Ziwei smiled and nodded, and the two came to a corner of the yard. Ziwei squatted down and loosened the soil with a small shovel, saying, "Little Swallow, these flower seeds include peonies, roses, and some daisies. When the flowers bloom, the various colors will complement each other, which must be very beautiful." Ziwei's movements were gentle, and she carefully scattered the flower seeds into the soil.

Xiaoyanzi followed Ziwei's example and began to loosen the soil and plant flowers. As she was planting, she said, "Ziwei, I can imagine the grandparents sitting in the flowers and basking in the sun. They must be very happy." Xiaoyanzi's face was filled with a happy smile, and her hands were covered with soil.

Yongqi and Erkang walked into the compound and saw Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei planting flowers. Yongqi smiled and said, "You really have the leisure time." Yongqi walked briskly to Xiaoyanzi, looked at the soil in her hands, and joked, "Xiaoyanzi, you are almost turning into a little clay figure."

Little Swallow raised her head, made a face and said, "Yongqi, when the flowers bloom, you will understand our intentions." Her eyes blinked mischievously.

Erkang said to Yongqi, "Let's go check on the progress of the craftsmen and make sure everything is going smoothly." Erkang's expression was serious, his hand on the hilt of the sword, and he walked towards the direction of the craftsmen.

Yongqi responded and said to Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, "You guys take your time planting, we'll go over there and take a look." After that, he followed Erkang over.

Princess Seya walked into the courtyard with several Mongolian craftsmen. She said loudly: "Xiaoyanzi, I have invited a few more Mongolian craftsmen to help. They have some unique skills." Princess Seya stood tall and straight, with pride in her eyes.

Little Swallow stood up, patted the dirt off her hands, and said happily: "Princess Seya, you have been a great help." She ran over to greet Princess Seya and the Mongolian craftsmen.

After the Mongolian craftsmen saluted Xiaoyanzi, one of the older craftsmen said, "Princess, we will use traditional Mongolian craftsmanship to decorate some places in the courtyard, such as carving some exquisite patterns on the doors and windows." The old craftsman's voice was low and hoarse, but full of confidence.

Xiaoyanzi said excitedly: "That's great! The slum will definitely become unique." Her eyes were full of anticipation.

In the palace, Concubine Ling was sitting in her own palace, with a maidservant waiting beside her. The maidservant said softly, "Madam, Xiaoyanzi and the others are doing very well in the renovation of the compound."

Empress Ling Fei nodded slightly and said, "It's a good thing that they can successfully renovate the compound, so those elderly people can have a stable home as soon as possible." Empress Ling Fei's eyes were calm, and her hands rested lightly on the armrest.

The little maid was a little surprised and said, "Madam, don't you think Xiaoyanzi and the others are too prominent? And before that, you..."

Empress Ling Fei interrupted her and said, "What happened in the past is over. Now I have figured it out. Why should I always make things difficult for them? Besides, the Emperor also values ​​them, so I will not interfere in this matter anymore." Empress Ling Fei's voice was gentle, with a hint of relief on her face.

Back at the compound, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei had already planted the flowers and were watering them. Xiaoyanzi said as she watered them, "Ziwei, these flowers must grow quickly." Her eyes were full of anticipation, and she was watering them rhythmically with the kettle in her hand.

Ziwei smiled and said, "Little Swallow, as long as we take good care of them, they will thrive." Ziwei's eyes were gentle. She looked at the newly planted flowers, as if she had already seen the flowers blooming.

At this time, a craftsman came running over and said anxiously: "Ge Ge, it's bad. We don't have enough wood, what should we do?" The craftsman had a worried expression on his face and his hands were rubbing the corners of his clothes nervously.

Little Swallow frowned and said, "How can it not be enough? Wasn't it calculated before?" Little Swallow put down the kettle and looked at the craftsman in confusion.

The craftsman said helplessly: "Gege, we don't know. It was enough, but today we suddenly found that a lot is missing."

Yongqi and Erkang came over after hearing the noise. Yongqi said, "Did someone do anything?" Yongqi's eyes became cold and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

Erkang thought for a moment and said, "It's very likely. We need to find out what's going on." Erkang's expression was serious and his eyes were firm.

Xiaoyanzi said angrily: "There must be someone who doesn't want us to renovate the slum smoothly. We must find this person." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were burning with anger and her body was trembling slightly.

Ziwei comforted her, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be angry yet. Let's find a way to solve the wood problem first." Ziwei's voice was gentle, and she patted Xiaoyanzi's arm gently.

Princess Seya said: "We can look for wood somewhere else, or recalculate the amount to see if there is something wrong." Princess Seya's voice was steady, her hands folded across her chest, thinking about a solution.

Ertai also came to the slum at this time. After hearing what happened, he said, "I'll go to the nearby lumber stores to see if there is any lumber for sale. Let's solve the problem at hand first." Ertai's eyes were firm, and he turned around and prepared to leave.

Yongqi said, "Ertai, I'll go with you." Yongqi and Ertai hurriedly left the compound.

On the way to the lumber store, Ertai said to Yongqi, "Yongqi, do you think that someone in the palace is playing tricks? It's so strange that there is suddenly not enough wood." There was confusion in Ertai's eyes and his steps were hurried.

Yongqi frowned and said, "It's very likely. We must be careful and not let their conspiracy succeed." Yongqi's expression was serious, his hand on the sword at his waist.

They came to the timber store and found the owner of the timber store looking worried. Yongqi walked up to him and asked, "Boss, we want to buy some timber. Do you have any left?"

The lumber store owner sighed and said, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to sell. But a group of people came this morning and bought most of my lumber. Now there's only a very small amount left." There was helplessness in the owner's voice.

Ertai frowned and said, "Boss, do you know who those people are?" Ertai's eyes became sharp.

The boss shook his head and said, "I don't know. They didn't tell me. I just know they were a group of well-dressed people."

Yongqi and Ertai looked at each other. They knew that someone must have done this on purpose. Yongqi said to the boss, "Boss, then you can sell us the remaining wood."

The boss nodded and said, "Okay, sir."

Yongqi and Ertai returned to the compound with the wood. Although they solved part of the wood shortage problem, they knew that the conspiracy behind it had not been resolved.

When Xiaoyanzi saw the wood they brought back, she said happily: "Yongqi, Ertai, you are finally back. However, we still have to find out who is causing trouble." There was determination in Xiaoyanzi's eyes and her fists were clenched tightly.

Ziwei said: "That's right, we can't just let it go like this. We have to let those who want to destroy the renovation of the slum know that we are not so easily defeated." Ziwei's voice was gentle but powerful.

Erkang said: "We have to be more careful. I suspect there will be more troubles later." Erkang's expression was serious. His hand was on the hilt of the sword, and he looked around vigilantly.

Princess Seya said: "In our Mongolia, we will fight back more bravely when facing the enemy's conspiracy. We have to do the same now." Princess Seya's eyes were firm and her fists were clenched to show her determination.

So, while the people in the compound continued to repair the house, they also began to investigate the truth behind the shortage of wood. Under the transformation of Concubine Ling, the people in the palace also began to have different thoughts. A new story is about to unfold...
