Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

During the years in the palace, the story continues, and new chapters slowly unfold in the interaction between the Queen and Xiaoyanzi.

One day, Xiaoyanzi came to Kunning Palace as usual. When the queen saw her, a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaoyanzi, I heard you say in the school, 'Master's eyes are so round that half of them will be lost with one punch.' Are you trying to make me laugh to death?" the Queen asked with a smile.

Xiaoyanzi scratched her head in embarrassment and laughed, "Your Majesty, I just spoke too quickly. Master Ji's eyes are really round, so I just said it."

The Queen was amused by Xiaoyanzi's innocence. "You are always so eccentric. Have you said any other strange poems?" the Queen asked curiously.

Xiaoyanzi rolled her eyes and began to recall the days in the academy. "Yes, Queen. Once, Master Ji asked us to write a poem on the theme of 'Autumn Scenery'. I thought for a long time and came up with the line 'Autumn is here, the leaves turn yellow, and I, Xiaoyan, am so happy'." After saying this, Xiaoyanzi also laughed.

The queen smiled from ear to ear. "Your poem is really unique. What about the poems written by other princes?"

Little Swallow tilted her head and thought for a while. "The poem written by the Fifth Prince is very good. He said, 'The autumn wind blows the leaves away, and the frost and dew reflect the cold stars. The geese fly by, leaving their voices to recall the past, and the years go by and the emotions are condensed.' Ertai is also good. He said, 'The warm autumn sun shines golden, and the fragrance of rice fills the fields. The joy of the harvest makes everyone smile, and the beautiful life has a long rhythm.'"

The Queen nodded and praised: "The Fifth Prince and Ertai are indeed very talented writers. You should learn from them."

Xiaoyanzi pouted and said, "I am also trying hard, Queen. But poetry is really difficult."

The Queen smiled and encouraged her: "Take your time, Xiaoyanzi. You have made great progress."

In the following days, Xiaoyanzi worked harder to learn poetry. She often pestered Yongqi and Ertai to teach her, and would also study on her own in her spare time.

One day, Ji Xiaolan gave everyone another difficult question: "Today, let's write a seven-character regulated verse on the theme of 'Winter Scenery'."

The brothers fell into deep thought and began to think carefully. Xiaoyanzi looked troubled and didn't know where to start.

Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi and said softly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyanzi. Let's think about the characteristics of winter first."

The little swallow frowned and said, "It's very cold in winter and it will snow."

Yong Qi nodded: "Yes, then we can start with snow. For example, 'Winter snow falls for nine days, covering the mountains and rivers with silver'."

Xiaoyanzi's eyes lit up: "I understand, Fifth Prince. Then I will continue with 'The crystal clear ice flowers hang in front of the window, and the beautiful scenery is like a painting reflecting my heart'."

Yongqi smiled and encouraged her to continue. "Very good, what about the next two sentences?"

Xiaoyanzi thought hard, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. "The winter plum blossoms bloom proudly in the frost and snow, and the fragrance is so fragrant that it makes one feel sorry for oneself."

Yongqi's eyes showed surprise: "Xiaoyanzi, you did a great job. Let me help you with the last sentence. 'The winter scenery is particularly beautiful, full of poetry and love'."

Ji Xiaolan heard their conversation and came over to check. Seeing the poem written by Xiaoyanzi, he smiled with satisfaction. "Princess Huanzhu has made rapid progress. Although this poem still has some flaws, it is already very good."

Little Swallow jumped for joy. "Haha, I finally know how to write poetry."

As time went by, Xiaoyanzi's attainments in poetry became higher and higher. She was no longer the one who could only say strange poems, but a princess who could write beautiful poems.

However, life in the palace was not always so peaceful. Although Concubine Ling had become more restrained after being punished by the emperor, her followers did not give up. They secretly observed the actions of Xiaoyanzi and others, looking for opportunities to make trouble again.

One day, a palace maid quietly came to Concubine Ling's bedroom and reported to her about Xiaoyanzi's situation in the school.

"Your Majesty, Princess Huanzhu is becoming more and more popular with the Emperor and the Empress in the academy, and her poems are getting better and better. We can't just sit back and watch." said the maid.

Concubine Ling's eyes turned cold: "Humph, she is just lucky. We must find a way to ruin her good fortune."

Concubine Ling began to plan a new conspiracy. She decided to take advantage of Xiaoyanzi's progress in poetry to create some trouble.

Soon after, some rumors spread in the palace. Some people said that Xiaoyanzi's poems were plagiarized by others, while others said that she wrote them with the help of Yongqi and Ertai.

Xiaoyanzi was furious when she heard these rumors. "Who is talking nonsense? I came up with all my poems by myself."

Yongqi and Ertai were also very angry. They decided to find out the source of the rumor and clear Xiaoyanzi's name.

They began to investigate secretly and found that these rumors were spread by Concubine Ling's followers. They immediately told the emperor and the queen about this.

The emperor's face darkened after hearing this. "This Concubine Ling still refuses to give up. I must punish her severely."

The Queen also said: "Your Majesty, we cannot allow Concubine Ling to do whatever she wants. We must completely eradicate her power."

The emperor decided to punish Concubine Ling again and ordered a strict investigation of those who spread rumors. After some investigation, the emperor finally found evidence to confirm Concubine Ling's conspiracy.

Concubine Ling was punished by the emperor again, and her followers were also punished one after another. Xiaoyanzi was finally cleared of her grievances, and her reputation became even more famous.

After this incident, Xiaoyanzi cherishes her life in the palace even more. She knows that although there are many difficulties and challenges, as long as she has the support of her friends and the love of the emperor and empress, she will be able to overcome everything.

The situation in the palace has become more stable after this incident. Xiaoyanzi and her friends continue to write their own legendary stories in the palace, and there are more exciting things waiting for them in the future.

In this palace full of joy and challenges, Xiaoyanzi's story continues. With her bravery, kindness and wisdom, she has brought endless vitality and vigor to the palace. Let us look forward to her wonderful performance in the future.
