Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Good luck to Princess Hexi." The guards knelt down and greeted them.

Only Ziwei, Hexi and others were left at the scene.

Ziwei felt a pang of pain when she saw the guard who had just rejected her righteously paying his respects to Hexi.

Although they were both daughters of the emperor, they were treated differently. No one even knew that she was a princess.

"Ziwei, why are you here?" He Xi asked.

Ziwei moved her mouth but couldn't speak. Her self-esteem kept whipping her.

Maybe He Xi didn't care about her at all, but she silently regarded He Xi as an imaginary enemy in her heart.

Ziwei is also very interesting. She can easily forgive Xiaoyanzi who stole her identity, because she knows that what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true, and she is not afraid that Xiaoyanzi will take away everything from her.

After all, Xiaoyanzi is just a person who mingles in the market and has no talent at all, while she has been carefully trained by Xia Yuhe since she was a child, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which makes her more in line with the standards of a lady from a noble family.

She was not worried that Xiaoyanzi would replace her.

But unlike Hexi, Ziwei couldn't find any advantages in her.

Hexi is the Queen's biological daughter. The Queen is a person who has high demands on everything, so her daughter naturally cannot be bad either.

So although Hexi looks careless, he actually learned everything he needed to learn, and he learned it very well.

As a civil servant who grew up under the exam-oriented education system and a strong-willed Chinese woman throughout her life, He Xi would never admit defeat.

Therefore, Hexi is not behind others in terms of etiquette.

Ziwei also felt very painful, but she unconsciously compared herself with Hexi in her heart. The more she compared, the more she felt that she was inferior to Hexi. Whether it was Qianlong's favor or Hexi's own ability, it made Ziwei extremely inferior.

You have to know that Ziwei is a person who looks weak but is very proud inside.

In fact, He Xi didn't know that Ziwei had always regarded her as an imaginary enemy, because they were not on the same track at all.

I was quite surprised to see Ziwei and Xi today. Since Ziwei got married, she has basically never returned to the palace, except when she needed help.

Of course, there was also the reason that Qianlong did not like her returning to the palace, but more importantly, Ziwei was unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.

The last time Ziwei returned to the palace for help was because Erkang fell ill and she was isolated and helpless.

He Xi brought Zi Wei into the palace without any hindrance. Seeing this, Zi Wei felt more and more inferior, but He Xi had no idea that Zi Wei, who was half a step behind her, was thinking so much.

Maybe it doesn't matter if He Xi knows it.

The Zichen Palace where Hexi lived before she got married is still in the palace, so Hexi often returns to stay there for a while.

He Xi brought Ziwei to Zichen Palace and told her the reason why Ziwei came to the palace.

Although Ziwei had many little plans in her mind, she was still clear-headed when it came to major issues.

Ziwei fell to her knees at once.

"Princess Hexi, please save Ziwei, please help Ziwei."

"Is Falcon sick again?" The first thing He Xi thought of was Falcon's illness.

Ziwei shook her head.

"Is Dong'er sick?" He Xi continued to guess.

She knew Dong'er, who was about the same age as Mianyou and Qiao Jing.

He Xi had glanced at Dong'er from a distance before. She looked much thinner than people of the same age.

I heard from Qing'er that Dong'er was born with a congenital deficiency, so he often catches colds and gets sick.

What is even more shocking is that Dong'er's congenital deficiency is related to Fulun's wife.

How did Qing'er know that?

This is also thanks to her mother-in-law. Hailancha's mother has some friendship with Fulun's wife.

When Ziwei was pregnant, Fulun's wife proudly said that her secret recipes would definitely be of great use.

This caused many noble ladies to come and ask for the secret recipe.

Hailancha's mother-in-law was also worried about Qing'er's failure to get pregnant, and Fulun's wife often told her mother-in-law about it.

Hailancha has a strong character, so Qing'er's mother-in-law did not make trouble.

Later, after Dong'er was born, the doctor diagnosed her with congenital deficiencies, and the doctor bluntly stated that it was caused by the folk remedies used by Fulun's wife.

Qing'er's mother-in-law was very fortunate that she did not listen to what Fulun's wife said at that time.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so she should not interfere too much.

So Qing'er always remembered Ziwei's matter and mentioned it to Hexi.

Hexi was surprised after hearing this. She still remembered that in the drama, Fulun's wife was a very knowledgeable, magnanimous person.

How come you have become ignorant, stupid and petty now?

Later, He Xi figured out some of the tricks, because at that time in the drama, Fujin was in high spirits, her eldest son was highly regarded by Qianlong, and her daughter-in-law was Qianlong's biological daughter. Even though she was given the title of Mingzhu Gege, a not very important title, Ziwei's identity was known to the world, and everyone knew that their Fu family had married the real emperor's daughter.

The second son married into the Tibetan royal family. Although his reputation was not very good, he was still a legitimate son-in-law.

Fulun's official career was also smooth sailing, and Concubine Ling was deeply favored by the emperor, so Fujin had no worries at all and could naturally maintain her decent and tolerant appearance.

When life's misfortunes come knocking on the door, even a lady who is used to putting on a show will inevitably be broken down.

He Xi looked at the tired Ziwei and found it hard to imagine that she was a young woman in her early twenties.

What marriage brought to Ziwei was perhaps the collapse of her fantasy of love.

Ziwei continued to shake her head.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Dong'er is in good health recently."

"Then why are you entering the palace?" He Xi didn't believe that Ziwei just wanted to enter the palace to see Qianlong. When she stabbed Qianlong in the back, there was no such deep father-daughter love.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ziwei's face. It could be said that asking Ziwei to bow her head was more painful than killing her, but Erkang used love to kidnap her.

"In reply to the princess..." Ziwei told Hexi about last night's conversation with difficulty.

In fact, she also had a bad feeling in her heart.

She knows Erkang best, and their love is not fake in a way.

It was because of this understanding that she noticed something was wrong behind Erkang's eagerness.

If it were any other time, Erkang would have sensed her unwillingness, nor would he have rushed her into the palace.

In the past, Erkang must have been the first one to notice her emotions.

But now there is only Erkang's big talk and empty words.

"Ziwei, are you suspicious about something?" He Xi asked tentatively.

Fu Kang'an mentioned to her that the capital city had been in unrest recently and some foreigners were ready to make some moves.

But what they didn't know was that Fukang'an and his men had already noticed it and were on guard.

It’s just that it’s still unclear what they intend to do, so we’re keeping our troops in place to avoid alerting them.

I just don't know if these two things are related?
