Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

After learning that Concubine Ling was in trouble, Yongqi went to visit her. He was so attentive that if you didn't know her, you would think she was his biological mother.

Poor Concubine Yu, her heart and eyes were full of her son, but in the end she didn't even come to see him when she was sick.

Concubine Yu didn't know what happened, but it was obvious that Yongqi was scolded and despised by Emperor Qianlong. Concubine Yu was worried and went to the empress, the queen mother and the emperor for Yongqi. However, her motherly heart met the barbecued fifth prince.

After a few days of crying, Concubine Yu, who was already in poor health, collapsed as expected, while Yongqi was only thinking about having a love affair with Xiaoyanzi.

It is worth mentioning that Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi broke the window paper and got together in private.

Qianlong may know it or may not know it, or it may not matter.

As long as it doesn't cause any discredit to the royal family, I won't bother to pay any attention to it.

Yongqi didn't know that he had not only lost the heir to the throne, but was also almost abandoned by Qianlong.

***

Shufangzhai.

The moon is bright and the clouds are colorful, and there are small stools and tables guarding the door.

It wasn't easy for Ziwei to enter the palace after she got married, so it was rare for them to get together.

The little stool signaled with his eyes: What is the master doing again?

Xiao Zhuo curled his lips and shrugged: "Who knows! We should be thankful that we are not implicated."

Caixia: That’s right. I just wanted to serve quietly and then be released from the palace safely when I was old enough. Who knew I would run into such a person.

Mingyue: Well, it’s just nice talk, we still have to be alert.

The four of them looked at each other and sighed.

inside the room.

Ziwei had red eyes and tears in her eyes, she looked so pitiful.

Xiaoyanzi was so angry that she wanted to beat Erkang. He said he would treat Ziwei well, why did he become like this in less than half a month?

Erkang had no words to express his pain. His parents were dissatisfied with Ziwei, and he had tried his best to deal with them. After all, he really loved Ziwei.

"Xiaoyanzi, don't blame Erkang. I know I didn't do well enough."

Fu Jin had been looking down on her these days. Her son, whom she was so proud of, had married a bondservant.

Although this was their operation, they did not expect Qianlong to be so cold-blooded and ruthless.

Otherwise, why do people say that the Fu family is like a nouveau riche? Although Ziwei has been destined to be a bondservant, she is of royal blood after all. There is no telling when the situation will turn against her.

Xiaoyanzi sat on the chair dejectedly. She couldn't get out now and couldn't even protect herself.

Yongqi paced in the room. He always felt that things could turn around until the last moment.

The key is to bring out the strengths of Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi.

"Strengths? What strengths do I have? Long legs?" Xiaoyanzi stretched her legs, showing a rare self-awareness.

Yongqi was helpless as Xiaoyanzi was still so imaginative.

"After a few days when the Emperor's anger has subsided, I will go and ask him to release Xiaoyanzi from her house arrest."

"Ziwei, your gentleness and kindness and Xiaoyanzi's liveliness and cheerfulness are precious. Let's take our time and make the Emperor fall in love with Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi again."

The more Yongqi talked, the more he felt that this was a promising idea. After discussing it with the others, they decided to proceed step by step, keeping quiet for a while before considering other options.

Yongqi also has his own thoughts. Given Xiaoyanzi's current condition, the chances of her asking Emperor Qianlong to grant her a marriage are too low, so he can only take it step by step.

And crape myrtle is also an important part.

Ziwei naturally agreed. The intelligent girl could feel the contrast between Fu Jin before and after, and she could feel the disparity in status, fame and favor.

If Hexi married into the Fu family, Fu Jin would never dare to show disrespect. In the final analysis, she is just a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Erkang held Ziwei's hand, and the love and determination in his eyes moved Ziwei.

"Ziwei, please believe me. I love you, only you. I am sorry for putting you through this during this period of time."

Erkang's sweet words made Ziwei forget her sorrow. She was so moved that she nodded and threw herself into Erkang's arms.

The four people hugged each other in pairs.

The four servants outside the door vaguely heard the love words and looked at each other. It was difficult to comment.

I have to say, Yongqi’s IQ is still online even when he’s not eating barbecued pork.

Half a month later, Xiaoyanzi was finally released from prison. If Ziwei and Yongqi hadn't stopped her, she would have run all over the palace.

He Xi was not surprised. It would be too low if the protagonist died so easily. But it didn't matter. Only a dull knife would hurt when cutting flesh.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei asked Benjamin for help. Benjamin couldn't resist Xiaoyanzi's entanglement and had to agree.

"cake?"

"Yes, the cake is delicious. The emperor will definitely like it." Benjamin said confidently.

Xiaoyanzi believed it, after all, Benjamin's chocolate was really delicious.

Xiaoyanzi acted immediately and drove away the people from the imperial kitchen, planning for a big fight.

This made the supervisor very worried, as the time was almost up. If he delayed the important guest's meal, ten heads would be enough to compensate.

As a last resort, the steward went to ask Emperor Qianlong for instructions. When Qianlong heard that it was Xiaoyanzi who was causing trouble again, he felt annoyed. He didn't expect that she would never change her bad habits.

"Kick them out! Who allowed them to make trouble in the imperial kitchen?"

"But the Fifth Prince is also here..." The supervisor had a hard time saying this. He was being cautious.

"Give them an hour, and kick them out when the time is up! Just don't delay Xi'er and the Queen Mother's meals."

"Whoo."

Under Benjamin's guidance, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei did a great job.

When the other palace servants saw their supervisor coming back, they quickly surrounded him.

After the chief eunuch gave a general explanation, the others finally felt relieved. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter if the master went crazy, but they, the servants, would be the ones who would suffer.

As Xiaoyanzi was doing this, she turned into a harlequin cat, with cream all over her face and body. She wiped it off casually, looked at the cake that had taken shape, and said proudly with her hands on her hips, "Humph, I will definitely do better than that princess."

I don’t know why, but Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are quite hostile towards Hexi, as if he is their nemesis.

As for Benjamin, it was hard to describe. The mental state of the cake was a little sloppy, but it was too late as time was running out.

Xiaoyanzi carried the cake carefully and was stopped when she arrived at the imperial study, as expected.

Wu Shulai refused with a fake smile: "Princess Huanzhu, please go back."

"You..." Xiaoyanzi couldn't stand this bad temper and started to curse back.

"Ahem." Ziwei coughed. "Xiaoyanzi, let's wait here. I believe the emperor won't be so cruel." After saying that, Ziwei stood there with her back straight. Seeing this, Xiaoyanzi had no choice but to follow suit.

Wu Shulai showed disdain on his face. This was the first time that the emperor's daughter became a bondservant, and the news had already spread throughout the palace.

Out of caution, he went in and passed the message, and the result was predictable.

The sun was scorching at noon, and Ziwei was weak, so she was sweating profusely and was about to fall down in a short while.

Just then, He Xi arrived.

She came to deliver pear soup again.

The main reason was that Qianlong seemed to be addicted to drinking. One day when he came late, Wu Shulai came to him in a hurry and asked what happened.

It seems that Qianlong becomes more like a child as he gets older.
