Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

After Fulun took his wife away, Ertai kept echoing his father's words in his mind. He clenched his hands, the veins on his hands bulged, and he was still holding Seiya's lost purple bird tightly in his palms. Hosta.

His father said that all the people participating in the competition tomorrow are crooked and unworthy of Seiya. When he thinks of Seiya marrying a reckless man in the future, she is so fragile. What if she is bullied by that reckless man? Ertai's whole body is filled with tears. Oh no.

Little did they know that he was completely concerned and would become confused. Saya's marriage was decided by her own decision. If Saya didn't like it, how could Balben, the king of Tibet, agree to it.

Seiya is the only princess in the family. She is favored by her brothers, her father, the Queen and her queen. Tibet has a tradition of women being superior to men. Seiya's status is terrifyingly high. She is also a sweet-tempered person who will fight for whatever she likes. , how could she wrong herself to marry someone she didn't like.

Ertai stood up and paced around the room, feeling in a dilemma for a moment.

"Forget it, she and I are very different in status, and Saya also hates me. If I play tomorrow, I won't be laughed to death by her."

Ertai kept comforting himself in this way. After falling asleep at night, he had a nightmare.

In the dream, he and Saya were happily racing horses on the grassland at first. It was so uncomfortable and comfortable. The corners of Ertai's mouth were slightly raised in a smile while he was sleeping.

But suddenly the scene changed, and he saw Saya's face was sallow and thin due to torture, and there was no sparkle in her eyes. A reckless man kept beating Saya with a whip.

"Run away. Your father is far away in Tibet and will not come to save you. Just accept your fate and give me a good child, or I will beat you to death."

Saya hid in the corner and kept crying and begging for mercy, "Ah, don't hit me, stop hitting me, I don't want you to be my consort, Ertai, come and save me, save me."

Ertai trembled all over and suddenly woke up from his sleep. He touched the cold sweat on his head. Seiya's cry for help was still echoing in his ears. He raised his head and glanced out the window. It was still dark outside. He didn't know what to do now. How many days has it been?

He was completely sleepless and felt a little thirsty. He got out of bed, poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Fortunately, it was a dream. It really scared me to death. How could I suddenly have such a dream?"

At the same time, a thought quietly sprouted in his mind, and he quickly made a decision. After Ertai got dressed, he got up and went to his Amma's yard.

The boy in Fulun's yard saw that the second young master had arrived before dawn and hurried forward to greet him.

"Master Ertai, do you have anything to do with me? Do you need me to wake up the master and his wife?"

Ertai waved his hand, "No, I'll just sit here for a while and wait until Amma and Er Niang wake up."

The young man didn't say much and took Ertai to a side room. "Master Ertai, wait here. When my wife wakes up, I will come and call you."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Ertai is a humble person and usually doesn't put on airs with his servants in the house. The servants like him very much.

After it got slightly light, Fujin helped her husband get up, and Fulun got dressed for the tournament.

"Master, I don't know if Ertai has figured it out. I'm really worried."

Fulun was unsure, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You don't have to worry."

Fulun had just packed up and walked out. A trace of imperceptible regret flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he had made a miscalculation.

"Master, Master Ertai has been here since the fourth watch and has been waiting for you to wake up in the penthouse."

When the boy saw Fulun going out, he stepped forward and told his master about Ertai's arrival.

Fulun's heart turned from sadness to joy, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Ertai is here, why don't you wake me up."

Fulun walked to the penthouse in three steps and two steps at a time. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his silly son sitting there uneasily. "Young man, I can't scare you to death."

"Ertai, what do you want to do with Amma? Amma has to go to court in the morning and will discuss with the emperor the candidates for the martial arts tournament later. If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Ertai suddenly raised his head, looked at his Ama, and gave a dry cough in embarrassment.

"Amma, you're awake. After thinking about it, I still think I can go to the martial arts competition in place of my eldest brother. I don't know if it's still too late."

Fulun was very happy in his heart, but he was very serious on his face, "Ertai, have you thought about it? Your happiness is the most important thing. Amma and Er Niang will never force you. We only hope that you can be happy for the rest of your life."

Ertai was frightened by that nightmare. Even if he said that he didn't like Saya, he wouldn't believe it. Her lively personality was like a replica of Little Swallow. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help but think about it. What if? It would be great if Princess Seiya was a little swallow. Maybe Seiya was the compensation given to her by God.

"Amma, I have thought about it. My son loves Saya. If I have the opportunity to be her consort, I am willing to treat her wholeheartedly."

Fulun was extremely happy. He lied to your father last night and said he didn't want to go. He didn't even look at what your father did. He couldn't cure you of being such a brat. He said to him in a serious tone.

"Ertai, it's settled. After marrying Seiya, shouldn't the girl you admire in your heart also let go? We in the Fu family don't have a tradition of being quick and easy. If you dare to treat Seiya badly, Ama will come first. I’ll take care of you.”

Ertai did not notice at all that in the past few days, Xiao Yanzi's position in his heart had become less and less. A girl named Saya suddenly broke into his heart and occupied an increasingly important position in his heart.

"Amma, I will fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a husband. I don't have no feelings for Seiya, but I hope to pursue her with a complete and pure heart."

Fulun looked at him with a smile, "Okay, Amma knows what you want. You can go with Amma. Today, the emperor said that he would not attend the morning court, and asked all the ministers to bring their own contestants to the palace. A martial arts arena.”

Ertai immediately understood that it was Amma who was provoking him. He didn't need to say anything until now, and he was content with it.

At the palace martial arts arena, Balben arrived early with Seiya and the participating warriors.

"Your Majesty, you must not be reluctant to let go of whoever Saya has your eye on today."

For the sake of the friendship between the Qing Dynasty and Tibet, the emperor said very generously, "Baliben, as long as Seiya likes it, I will grant her a marriage on the spot."

"Hahaha, I'll wait and see." Balben looked at his daughter playing in the distance.

"Saya, which one do you like? Look at that man's high nose, but he seems to be a little hunched, which doesn't suit you. This one doesn't work. Let's look at the next one."

Xiao Yanzi took Ziwei and Qing'er to analyze which man they could marry to Saiya, and the discussion was filled with excitement.

A look of disgust appeared on Saya's face, "Yeah, I don't want it."

Qing'er was the only one who knew the inside story. She glanced at the audience and found that Ertai was not among the contestants. She couldn't help but be a little confused. Didn't Lafayette say that she was ready? Why hasn't the protagonist come yet?

"Little Yanzi, maybe Saya has someone in mind." Qing'er gently pushed Xiao Yanzi.

Little Yanzi's big eyes moved nimbly, with a look of eating melon on his face.

"Oh, it turns out there is someone in mind. No wonder. Don't hide it from everyone, Saya. Tell us who it is. We will give you advice together and help you win it in a minute."

With Xiao Yanzi's carefree character, he completely forgot that he had been thinking about bringing Seiya and Ertai together before, and he turned around and completely forgot about it in the past two days.

"I don't have anyone in my heart. I just came to Qing Dynasty and I am not familiar with this place. How can I meet people? I haven't even held a man's little hand and you are making fun of me." Saya increased her voice to cover up. Your true inner thoughts.

Ziwei joked at the side, "Yes, Seiya has just arrived and was kidnapped not long ago. Where can she meet a man? Little Yanzi, we will have to give Seiya a good look in a while. We must give Seiya a choice." A wishful man."
