TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 274 Return of the Pearl Buddha 42

Behind Nanny Gui was a very friendly-looking Nanny. When she saw Ziwei, she took two steps forward to greet her.

"This servant pays respects to Princess Mingzhu."

"Princess, you only have one personal maid with you. The Empress Dowager was worried that you might be wronged, so she specially sent Aunt Chun to serve you. She is an old lady in the Cining Palace."

"Madam, please stand up. We will trouble you a lot in the future." Ziwei stepped forward and helped the person up personally, with a gentle and warm smile.

Since she had just arrived, she naturally had to be kind to others.

"Princess, please forgive me for being such an embarrassment to you. This is my duty."

Aunt Gui's eyes flashed but she didn't say anything. She had thought that this person was a strong-willed person, but she didn't expect that he was so gentle.

She waved to the people outside to come in.

"Princess, these are all newly sent palace maids from the Imperial Household Department. Please select the ones you like and keep them."

Ziwei looked over helplessly. The yard was filled with three or four rows of people. With so many people, how could she choose?

Nanny Gui smiled and raised her voice, "Princess, just do as you wish. The Empress Dowager said that if there's anything wrong, just tell me and we'll change it."

Ziwei felt warm in her heart and immediately gained confidence. She selected a few palace maids who looked honest.

Before leaving, Aunt Gui whispered again, "Princess, don't worry about staying here. You will be the master here in the future."

"You are of royal blood, and no one can bully you for no reason."

"Thank you for your guidance, Madam. I will always remember your kindness."

After everyone left, Jinsuo and Ziwei hugged each other and exclaimed softly, "Miss, you finally recognized your father. That's great!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly."

Ziwei held the handkerchief in her hands against her chest, looking towards the main hall with tears in her eyes, "Did you see that? That's my grandmother. She's so gentle."

"The Empress and Consort Ling are also good people. Thanks to their help, Xiaoyanzi and I would not have been able to get through this."

Ziwei could see clearly that all the configurations in this hall were similar to those in Qing'er's.

It just looks more plain, and since she's still in mourning, this is just right.

The servants are all newcomers, so there is no need to worry about them fooling people. There is also an old nanny by their side, so they can speak with confidence to others.

Every aspect has been considered.

When Ziwei saw Qing'er for the first time, she was a little flustered. She was worried that the old lady didn't like her, and even more worried that they wouldn't get along well.

Now I look at it again but I am not afraid at all.

Ziwei adapted well to the Cining Palace. Aunt Chun taught her very attentively and she learned quickly.

In addition to learning etiquette and rules, he would go to Shufangzhai to see Xiaoyanzi every day, and would also accompany the Old Buddha to listen to books and play chess with Qing'er.

Her schedule is packed and she has so much to learn.

Xiaoyanzi's arm has gradually recovered under the treatment of the imperial physician in the palace, and she can now move it, but she still needs to be careful not to overexert herself.

That day, Ziwei was about to go out when she happened to meet the Thirteenth Prince Yongjing and the Seventh Princess Jiayue who were digging a hole in the garden.

The Empress Dowager liked children, so they often went to the Cining Palace.

Ziwei remembered the kindness of the Queen and Concubine Ling. In addition to paying her respects, she also often went to give them small gifts. As time went by, they became very familiar with each other.

"Sister Ziwei! Where are you going?"

Jiayue ran over holding a sweet potato covered in mud. Ziwei was quick to catch her. She looked around and found that all the palace servants were gone.

He understood that she had sneaked out to play again, so he turned around and asked the palace maid to go and report the news, while he squatted down and wiped the little face of the Seventh Princess.

Yongjing also ran over and stood in front of Ziwei with his chin raised high, indicating that Ziwei must not leave him behind.

Ziwei chuckled and lightly scratched Yongjing's nose. "Why did you bring Seventh Sister out again, and in such a state?"

"Sister Ziwei, we planted sweet potatoes here before. Huzi said they should be ripe this season, so I wanted to dig them out and take a look."

Seventh Princess Jiayue was also excited and held the sweet potato in her hand in front of Ziwei.

"Sister Ziwei, look at it. It's big. I dug the hole myself and planted it."

Ziwei was a little surprised. Since she entered the palace, she found that these brothers and sisters were well educated, but she never thought that they could grow things by themselves.

Even she had never done this before, and she felt a little ashamed for a moment.

"Great, you guys are amazing, I've never seen anything like that before."

Jiayue smiled shyly after being praised, "Hu Zi said this would be delicious when grilled. Thirteenth brother and I are going to try it. Sister, please come with us."

Ziwei shook her head regretfully, "I'm afraid it won't work this time. I'm going to Shufangzhai to visit Princess Huanzhu."

"Besides, it's very dangerous for children to play with fire casually. When the palace servants arrive later, can you let them play with you?"

This wasn't the first time the two little ancestors had run away. The palace maids had been protecting them in secret for a long time. If so many people couldn't even take care of a child, they would have died in the palace long ago.

When they heard this, they stood up and ran over panting.

"Good luck to the Thirteenth Prince, good luck to the Seventh Princess, and good luck to the Pearl Princess."

"Thank you, Princess Mingzhu, for taking care of us. It took us a long time to find you."

The person who spoke was the head aunt who served Thirteenth Prince personally. Seeing her anxious, Yongjing scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Hey, Auntie, I left a note. Didn't you see it?"

My face shows that I know I was wrong, but I will do it again next time.

After a while, another group of people appeared.

Seeing this, Ziwei also prepared to leave, but was delayed for a while.

"Sister Ziwei, please wait for us and take us with you so that Sister Xiaoyanzi can taste what we grow."

Yongjing and Jiayue moved quickly. Without waiting for Ziwei's reaction, they ran towards the pit.

He quickly hugged the sweet potatoes they had dug in his arms and looked at Ziwei eagerly.

The palace maids wanted to go up and help, but the two men twisted their bodies and refused to let go.

No one could refuse such a cute little bunch, so Ziwei hesitated for only a moment before deciding to take them with her.

Xiaoyanzi is lively by nature and gets along well with these children.

They only spent time together once at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, but they fell in love with Shufangzhai. However, Xiaoyanzi was recovering from her injuries and often went to disturb them.

In Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi was flipping through the sketchbook in her hand out of boredom.

When she was in Jinan, Ziwei encouraged her to study hard. Now she knows the commonly used characters and has read some books.

The emperor was quite surprised by this. He couldn't understand why Ziwei could do it when even the most knowledgeable masters in the palace couldn't teach her.

He paid more attention to his daughter.

Mingyue came in with tea and couldn't help but persuade her, "Princess, you've been looking at it for quite a while. Be careful not to hurt your eyes. Take a break!"

I used to get a headache just seeing books, but this time I feel like a completely different person.

Everyone in Shufangzhai was surprised. They were both happy and disappointed.

Only such a princess can survive better in the palace and will no longer get into trouble as easily as before.

At the same time, I was worried that the lively and kind master would slowly disappear.

"Wait a minute, let me see why it doesn't work."

Xiaoyanzi stood up and looked at the book in her hand with a frown, her right hand still gesturing in the air.

"Gege, what can't you say?"

"This is the secret book of martial arts!" Xiaoyanzi spread out the book in her hand, and Mingyue saw that it was covered with pictures of little people practicing martial arts moves.

"Gege, have you been looking at this these days?"

She was so surprised that her voice became much higher.

Xiaoyanzi looked at her puzzledly, "Yes, what else do you think it is?"

"Yongji brought me a martial arts manual he said he found outside last time. I finally memorized the first part with great difficulty."

"Why doesn't this have the same effect as in the book?"

Xiaoyanzi was still unwilling to give up, and stretched out her fingers and tried several times at the chrysanthemums on the table.

Not only did the flowers not fall, but even the leaves did not move.

Mingyue and Caixia on the side smiled awkwardly and laughed it off. Although they were illiterate, they also felt that this matter was unreliable.

Seeing that Xiaoyanzi's movements were getting more and more violent, the two of them hurried forward to stop her.

"Princess, your injury hasn't healed yet, please be careful."

"If it really doesn't work, you can ask the Twelfth Prince next time you see him. You can also ask Princess Mingzhu. She's well-read and might have a solution."

Xiaoyanzi finally calmed down and said, "Okay, let's see when Ziwei should come over. I'll let her check to see if I've recited it wrong."
