CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: THIRTEENTH PRINCESS, BORN BLIND IN ONE EYE

Qinglian walked while answering countless questions, feeling nervous. Initially, she managed to respond, but later on...

Her delicate palm began to sweat. She took a small handkerchief from her sleeve and quietly wiped her palm.

Despite the multitude of questions, she felt no displeasure towards her little companions!

There was even a hint of joy.

Except for her nurse and the palace maid Chun Xing, few sisters in the palace talked to her.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the Imperial College.

As expected, the Ye Family’s guardians and three teachers were still waiting at the familiar teahouse, but now with an additional group of people.

The chubby Housekeeper Tan was among them, along with the four black-clad, long-robed, knife-wielding guards of the Tan Family. Their attire was too conspicuous, so they each changed into civilian clothes.

After changing into civilian clothes, the guards appeared more approachable.

They were no longer fierce-looking, and they left their weapons behind as well. With the new school term starting, the abundance of students made it easy for the government and guards to notice any weapons.

The Little Traitor sat quietly next to Mr. Xun, looking calm and composed.

Upon arriving at the teahouse,

everyone noticed the fairy-like beauty of the young girl accompanying Ah Zhi. Instantly, they realized this was another new friend she had made.

Ye Family felt gratified: Indeed, she is our daughter.

Father Ye rushed over after the early morning court session to pick up his daughter and arrived just in time. Upon seeing the fairy-like beauty of the young girl, he thought, yes, Ah Zhi’s friends are all excellent.

More than excellent, this was the current princess.

The daughter of your leader.

Ye Zhi eagerly introduced the little fairy to everyone, afraid she might be a step too late, "Father, Mother, Teachers, this is the Thirteenth Princess, Qinglian, whom I mentioned and wanted to introduce to you all."

Seeing her face full of joy and her eyes radiant, she completely forgot the Little Traitor was still upset when he left, focusing solely on Qinglian.

Ye Family warmly approached and held Li Qinglian’s hand as if they were not outsiders at all, saying, "Ah, the princess is truly beautiful, graceful and poised, even prettier than Ah Zhi."

In her heart, the less well-read Ye Family thought her little daughter was the prettiest. But now, praising Qinglian as prettier than her daughter showed her genuine belief.

Truly a noble daughter, she grew up with jade-like features, amazing.

Qinglian looked at the hand being held, um, are elders always this warm... stunned, yet warm inside.

However, saying she was prettier than Ah Zhi, would Ah Zhi be upset with her mother saying so?

With a perplexed gaze, she looked over.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhi was even more proud and exaggerated, absolutely agreeing with her mother’s view.

"That’s right, in my heart, the little fairy is the prettiest, with half-curved phoenix eyes hiding amber, and cherry red lips like a ruddy cherry."

There was not a hint of jealousy in her pure gaze~

In the novel "Concubine’s Favor," the author wrote:

The first beauty in the Daqing Dynasty was not the heroine Liu Qingxi, but Li Qinglian.

The Thirteenth Princess was born blind in one eye. Her right eye looked normal but could not see, relying solely on her left eye.

Her birth mother died in childbirth, her mother’s family was far beyond the Western Regions, and she grew up struggling in the palace. She liked the State Preceptor Pei Wanmu, but after being betrothed by the Emperor, unwilling to marry, she died on the escape route along with the State Preceptor.

She didn’t have to die; however, the State Preceptor died saving her, going mad in the process, and Qinglian, in her grief, committed suicide.

"Half-curved phoenix eyes hiding amber, red lips a cherry" is how the author described her appearance!

...

The academically struggling Ye Zhi memorized this line at the time. Having been in the Daqing Dynasty for so long, she had forgotten most of the book’s details, only remembering the gist, never expecting this verse to roll off her tongue so easily.

Perhaps it was because the author wrote such a tragic fate that it left a deeper impression.

The fairy-like features of this little fairy alive and well before her, how could her fate be so tragic.
