Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

Although Qing'er was a little curious, she didn't ask any more questions and instead held Lafayette's arm.

"Lafayette, let me help you go out for a walk."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Qing'er, you will get married next spring. The Ai family remembers that when they first raised you, you were just like a dumpling with milk."

As he spoke, he made gestures with his hands, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "You are only a little bit older. I didn't expect you to grow so big in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast."

"Lafayette, even if I get married, I will still be your Qing'er." Qing'er's voice was soft and cute, making the Queen Mother laugh.

At the embassy outside the palace, Seiya was looking around in the room. Yun'er poked her head and couldn't help but ask her, "Princess, what are you looking for?"

Saya searched for a long time but couldn't find it. She said angrily, "I don't know where I put the purple jade hairpin that Ertai's mother gave me. Why can't I find it?"

Yun'er walked over and put away the things that Saya had messed up one by one, "Princess, could it be that you dropped it when you were kidnapped, or maybe it was dropped in that black shop."

The more Saya thought about it, the more distressed she became. That hairpin was so beautiful.

"Oh, maybe. Tomorrow I will ask my father to smash that black shop to pieces. I will really make this princess mad."

"Hahaha, my precious daughter, what do you want your father to do?" Balben happened to walk in and heard his daughter's words.

After hearing this, Saya immediately ran to her father's arms and acted coquettishly, "Father, you are teasing your daughter again, and your daughter is ignoring you."

"Saya, are you ready to play in the martial arts competition tomorrow?" Balben touched his daughter's head and asked with a smile.

"Why not? I represent our Tibet. I must let the Qing Dynasty see how powerful our Tibet is."

Seiya said with excitement, her cheeks turned red with excitement.

Balben felt very proud when he saw how beautiful his baby daughter was.

"It just so happens that my father will choose your consort tomorrow. My Saya will be worthy of the bravest and most handsome son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty."

When Saya heard her father's words, Ertai's face appeared in her mind unconsciously.

I don’t know how the Queen Mother is going to help me, or whether I will get what I want.

"Father, my daughter needs to rest and prepare well for tomorrow's martial arts tournament."

Balben smiled fondly, "Okay, okay, father, I won't disturb your rest."

As for the Grand Scholar's Palace, Fulun and his wife had already received news from the Queen Mother, and they had to let Ertai play tomorrow no matter what. The couple were taking turns persuading Ertai.

Fulun said with difficulty, "Ertai, the emperor stipulates that one person from each family of officials of third grade and above will participate in tomorrow's martial arts competition. You also know the situation of our family. Your brother and Ziwei are secretly in love, so it is not convenient to attend, so as not to cause trouble. Unnecessary misunderstanding, my father thinks you are good at martial arts, so why not let us have you as your age is appropriate."

Ertai almost spit out the tea he drank and looked at his father in disbelief.

"Amma, don't you know that the King of Tibet plans to take advantage of the martial arts competition to find a consort for Princess Seya? My brother's life is his life, isn't my life my life? My son doesn't want to marry blindly."

Fujin knew his son best, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder with a very gentle smile.

"Ertai, is it possible that your father will harm you? I want to ask you, do you hate Saya? Or is Saya too ugly for your liking?"

Ertai also suddenly thought of the kiss that broke away that day. It seemed to be quite soft and fragrant. Saya's quirky little face from ancient times and modern times also appeared in his mind. He asked himself, do he hate it?

"Mom, I really don't hate Saya, but this can't be confused. Saya is very beautiful, but my son is just a companion, and he doesn't have any official position, so how can he be worthy of her?"

Fujin smiled and said nothing. If he didn't hate her, he must have liked her. The child Saya was lively, cute, and smart. He immediately fell in love with her as his daughter-in-law.

Fulun also figured out his son's inner thoughts. Women are strong and men are weak. No wonder Ertai has low self-esteem.

"Ertai, you don't have to worry about this. If you can come out on top in the martial arts competition, the emperor will definitely give you a promotion. Then your status will match that of Princess Seiya."

Seeing that he couldn't make sense with his parents, Ertai was so anxious that in order to get them to give up the idea, he could only reveal his relationship status.

"Ama, Mom, my son has someone he likes. It's unfair to her to start a relationship with Saya rashly. My son has always been upright and would not do such despicable things."

Fulun and Fujin were stunned. Ertai had someone he liked. Why didn't they know about it? They both asked.

"Ertai, which girl do you like? What is that girl's personality like? What is her family like? What do her parents do?"

A series of questions directly confused Ertai. Why did things go differently from what he thought? Amma and E Niang shouldn't have given up on this idea, so why did they force others to do so.

"Amma, Niang, I have unrequited love. Don't ask. I won't tell you if you ask. She has someone she likes. I don't want her to find out that I like her."

Fujin smacked his tongue, thinking that Ertai was still an infatuated lover.

"Ertai, I understand what you mean, but it's not what you said. You will never forget her. Is it possible that you will never marry a wife in this life?"

Ertai was stunned. It was obvious that he had never thought about this problem before, "Mom, Saya is passionate and unrestrained. The relationship she pursues is flawless. I am not worthy of pursuing her."

"Ertai, your mother-in-law and I didn't tell you to marry Seiya right away. Everything must be done step by step. But if you really don't like Princess Seiya, Amma won't force you. You can't go there tomorrow because you're sick. The palace is fine, the emperor has Amma to deal with, and your happiness is the most important."

Fulun made a move to retreat in order to advance, and said to himself rather regretfully.

"Oh, it's just a pity for Princess Seiya. Today, the emperor let me take a look at the list of contestants. Most of them are mediocre men. Although their martial arts are extraordinary, their talents and appearance are really a bit wronged for Seiya. I won't say any more. Let’s not talk about it, everyone has his or her own destiny, and I can’t worry about it that much.”

After Fulun finished speaking, he gave Fujin a look, and Fujin understood it immediately.

"Ertai, you should go to bed early. E Niang has no other intention tonight. She is just very happy to see Saya and wants to take her as your daughter-in-law. But if you don't like E Niang, don't force it. When Saya gets married, eh My mother went to put makeup on her herself, and I don’t know who this good girl Saya took advantage of.”
