Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Ziwei got married and was sent out of the palace in a sedan chair.

There was no wedding and no princess ceremony.

Ziwei has been crying her eyes out these days. She often dreams of Xia Yuhe. Sometimes she encourages her to persevere for love, and sometimes she scolds her for doing this. She is going crazy.

Ziwei looked for Hexi, but Hexi didn't want to see her. She was not a child anymore and should be responsible for her actions.

But Ziwei knelt in the Zichen Palace and couldn't get up, so Hexi had to see her.

"Princess, please save me!" Ziwei cried and begged Hexi, leaving Hexi confused.

Qianlong did not want their lives, so how could he save them?

To be honest, it was already very merciful. She was even given the title of Princess Ziwei and Mingzhu. It was not announced to the world nor included in the family tree. It was more like an honorary title and was useless.

"Princess, Ziwei really doesn't know what to do."

"Ziwei, admit it, it's not that you don't know, you know it too well, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me today." He Xi hit the nail on the head and exposed Ziwei's darkest side.

Ziwei was startled and her face became even paler. She had not been able to eat these days, which made her look even weaker.

He Xi, however, showed no sympathy for the girl and continued to speak frankly.

It is also because Ziwei is her half-sister.

"Ziwei, you are too smart, but also too stupid. You are smart because you are thoughtful and talented, but you are stupid because you consider everyone except your father and your own responsibilities."

"If you really cared about the emperor, you wouldn't burn him to death, and you wouldn't be so foolish as to join the bondservants and end up in this situation."

"No one can tolerate your mistakes infinitely. If you still have a little awareness of being the daughter of the Emperor, stop making trouble and live a peaceful life. Besides, Xiaoyanzi is not a person who stays content."

He Xi left after he finished speaking, leaving Ziwei kneeling there in a daze for a long time.

He Xi felt that she had done her best, and she met her because she knew that Qianlong would soon know what had happened.

She never hesitated to put in superficial efforts. No matter how sincere she was or whether she was pretending, if Ziwei could listen to her, perhaps it would not be too late.

Later, Ziwei quickly forgot her troubles under Erkang's sweet words and happily married into the Fu family. When Hexi found out, she felt that she had done something unnecessary and even wanted to persuade her to wake up from her love-brain.

Ziwei cried because she felt that she had lost too much and felt confused, not because she really regretted it. With the blessing of love, these sacrifices were all given a halo, or she had to numb herself to move on.

He Xi expressed that he did not understand and did not respect it, but please lock it up.

I heard that Fulun and his wife had some objections.

Originally, it was thought that Ziwei was the emperor's biological daughter, or at least a Heshuo Princess. Even if she was given the status of a bannerman, Qianlong could still turn the tide if he wanted to. But it was obvious that Qianlong did not want to waste his time and embarrass himself.

As a result, not only was his career affected, but he also married a bondservant woman, and ended up losing more than he gained.

Erkang was very happy. He really liked Ziwei, but he didn't know how long this love would last under the baptism of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

***

Yongqi came home from school today with a frown on his face, looking very worried.

It happened that He Xi and Lan Xin were talking to the Queen.

"what happened?"

"Brother Yonglu doesn't look well." Yongqi sighed in a mature manner.

During this period, Qianlong had been cultivating him, so he gradually developed some aura.

"Yonglu? What happened to him?" He Xi asked curiously. She had never seen this timid but clear-minded child since that day.

"Ah, I saw him coughing all the time today, and he looked very uncomfortable."

Yongji had always been in good health, as strong as a calf. His younger brother Yongjing was also well taken care of by the empress, so he was a little confused about Yonglu's weakness.

The Queen never used her children to win favor, but that didn't mean she didn't know about Concubine Wei's little tricks.

She just stood there and watched, waiting to see when this clever guy would fail.

He Xi also guessed something. There are similar plots in modern palace dramas. However, she didn't expect that Concubine Wei could even kill the prince she had been longing for.

Lan Xin and Yong Ji didn't understand why and just thought Yong Lu was born with deficiencies.

Seeing that Lan Xin seemed ignorant of the ways of the world, the Queen wanted to teach her and give He Xi some advice at the same time.

He Xi is a clever child, so she is not worried about her being bullied, but she lacks experience.

"Lady Wei is really ruthless."

Lan Xin's face changed immediately when she heard this. Could it be that Yong Lu's body was taken care of by Concubine Wei?

But isn't Yonglu her biological son? How could it be...

Seeing that Lan Xin had thought of it, the Queen continued, "Noble Lady Wei is not presentable, but she is cruel enough. This is what I want to tell you."

"Don't underestimate anyone. The lower the person, the more ruthless they are."

Lan Xin and He Xi nodded, but Yong Ji's eyes suddenly turned red as he just figured it out.

Although he likes his younger brother Yongjing the most, he also likes Yonglu, who is quiet and looks at you intently with his bright eyes.

Otherwise I wouldn't be so worried today.

But now even his own mother is going to attack him, being alive is a blessing.

"I want to go find the Emperor!" Yongqi wanted to save his brother.

"Wait! Madam Rong, stop him." Madam Rong hugged Yongqi, and Yongqi fluttered in her arms.

"What's the use of your saying that?" The queen had a gloomy face. It was all her fault that she had protected the child too well, causing Yongqi to remain so naive until now.

Originally, Emperor Qianlong ignored him and the Queen just let him do whatever he wanted, but things are different now. It’s time to put some thick black theory on the agenda.

"I'm going to expose this vicious woman!"

"Where's the evidence?" The Queen saw Yongqi was stunned, "I ask you, what evidence do you have?"

"Yongji, you are not a child anymore. You can't be so willful anymore."

"Can……"

"I know you want to save Yonglu, but Concubine Wei is meticulous and I'm making all my inferences based on her style of doing things."

"Before there is irrefutable evidence, hastily accusing someone will only put yourself in danger."

The Queen's words calmed Yongqi down a little. At that time, he was still a sincere little fat boy, far from the cold-blooded and ruthless emperor in the future.

"Yongji, you are the emperor's legitimate son, which means that many people are watching you. Don't put yourself in danger, okay?"

The Queen's rare gentle voice made Yongqi instantly obedient.

Hexi was amazed by what she saw. She had never realized that the Queen also had her own way of educating her children.

In fact, Hexi always felt that the Queen doted on Yongji. It wasn't that she was strict with Yongji, but she always protected Yongji under her wing.

It's good that now, Yongqi can appropriately face the ugliness of human nature and the darkness of the harem.

However, the Queen couldn't bear to see Yongqi looking so dejected, so she said she would help Yonglu.

After all, she is the legitimate mother. To put it bluntly, there is no benefit for her if Yonglu dies. She has a legitimate son and the emperor's respect. Although she is not a good person, she will never harm her children.

Some people should tighten their skin.
