Chapter 221 My Fair Princess: Qianlong 06
Chapter 221 My Fair Princess: Qianlong 06
Yongqi once again saw Yongrong walking out of the Yangxin Palace with a calm face, and his mood was very complicated.
Ziwei behind him didn't know Yongrong. When she saw Yongrong, she was just a little curious. She was very curious about the identity of this young man who walked out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
Yongrong saw Yongqi walking not far away and nodded slightly to Yongqi in greeting.
Yongqi suppressed the bitterness in his heart and nodded to Yongrong.
When the two of them had passed each other, Ziwei looked at the receding figure and asked Yongqi, "Who is that?"
Yongqi said: "That is Yongrong, the prince who was adopted by Prince Shen."
As soon as he finished saying this, Yongqi felt a little surprised why he introduced Yongrong in this way.
Ziwei was very surprised. Yongqi said that Yongrong was the emperor's child, but he was adopted out because he did something wrong. And could an adopted prince still be valued by the emperor?
After listening to what the nanny said about all the matters in the palace during this period, Ziwei's first thought when she heard that the prince was adopted out was whether the prince had done something wrong to make the emperor hate him, so he was adopted out.
But it doesn't seem like Yongrong is disliked by the Emperor.
Seeing Ziwei's somewhat surprised expression, Yongqi chose to remain silent without any extra explanation.
Seeing that Yongqi didn't want to talk more, Ziwei chose not to ask any more questions.
She and Yongqi came to the Yangxin Palace because of Xiaoyanzi's matter. It would not be good if she made Yongqi impatient at this time.
Yongqi and Ziwei came to the outside of the Yangxin Palace, and Wu Shulai stopped them.
Wu Shulai: "I greet the Fifth Prince and Princess Huanzhu. I wonder if you two have something important to discuss with the Emperor."
Yongqi nodded, "Well, is the Emperor free now?"
Wu Shulai: "Then I will go in and report first."
Wu Shulai came out after a while and welcomed Yongqi and Ziwei in.
As soon as she saw Qianlong, Ziwei knelt on the ground, shocking everyone present. Even Yongqi did not expect Ziwei to do this.
Qianlong said sternly: "Ziwei, what are you doing? Get up!"
Yongqi looked at Ziwei with disapproval.
Originally, if he had just said a few good words for Xiaoyanzi, Xiaoyanzi would have had the opportunity to be a maidservant beside Ziwei. But now with Ziwei's behavior, this might not happen and might even annoy the Emperor.
Ziwei could not see Yongqi's ugly expression, but looked at Qianlong with light in her eyes and said, "Your Highness, I have something to ask you, please agree."
When Ziwei said this, Yongqi suddenly felt dizzy and thought: It's over.
He looked at Qianlong cautiously.
Sure enough, when Qianlong heard Ziwei's words, his face turned dark instantly.
Qianlong looked at Ziwei with cold eyes.
"Ziwei, are you threatening me?"
Ziwei didn't know why the emperor was angry, and quickly denied it, "I didn't mean to threaten you, I just have something to ask you."
"Hmph!" Qianlong snorted coldly. Everyone in the hall except Qianlong knelt down, not daring to breathe.
Yongqi felt secretly bitter in his heart, knowing that the Emperor would definitely be angry with him today.
It’s all Ziwei’s fault, this woman who is always causing trouble but can’t do anything good.
He was blinded by greed and brought her to see the Emperor.
Qianlong threw the brush in his hand to the ground.
He looked at Ziwei as if she were a stranger. He glanced at the people kneeling in the hall and said sternly, "Princess Huanzhu has been disrespectful in front of the palace. She is confined to the Shufangzhai and cannot leave without an imperial decree. Fifth Prince, you don't know how to judge people. Go back to the study and study."
After saying this, he didn't look at Ziwei and Yongqi's pale faces, but pointed at Wu Shulai and said, "What are you still standing there for? Take the man away!"
Wu Shulai stood up quickly: "Hey!"
He pointed at a few young eunuchs and dragged the two men out.
He looked at Ziwei with some anger in his eyes.
Just beg for mercy nicely, but kneeling down as soon as you enter the door, isn't that typical of looking for trouble?
Not only was she disliked by the Emperor, but she also implicated the Fifth Prince.
Yongqi and Ziwei did not hide their visit to the Yangxin Palace from others.
They were surprised to see Ziwei and Yongqi being dragged out of the Yangxin Palace with pale faces not long after they entered. Later they learned that Ziwei was under house arrest and could not leave without an imperial decree, and Yongqi had returned to the study to study. They were shocked.
I don’t know what they did to make the emperor so angry.
Ziwei, the newly-crowned Princess Huanzhu, is essentially under house arrest for life.
The most surprising thing was that Yongqi went back to the study to study.
Yongqi is already past the age to study in the upper study room. Now all the students in the upper study room are his younger brothers who are ten years younger than him. If he goes back to study, isn't the emperor's intention obvious?
The Fifth Prince was disliked by the Emperor.
Some people who were good at changing their attitude according to the situation immediately changed their tune and openly and secretly mocked the Fifth Prince and his faction. Some people even started to choose a new leader.
The women in the harem were also active in their thinking. The concubines of the princes began to send people out to get the most certain news so that they could be prepared and help their sons ascend to the throne.
After Qianlong came to this world, he directly dispatched all the secret guards, striving to keep everything under his control.
Naturally, he knew everything that happened in the harem and the court.
He watched these people's actions coldly, and secretly asked the secret guards to collect evidence, waiting to give them a fatal blow one day.
As for Xiaoyanzi, Qianlong sent secret guards to investigate Xiaoyanzi's true life experience.
In this life, Xiaoyanzi did not make trouble in the harem, and Concubine Ling had never seen Xiaoyanzi, nor did she have a good impression of Ziwei.
Concubine Ling truly liked Emperor Qianlong. After learning that Ziwei had knelt down in the Yangxin Palace to threaten Emperor Qianlong to do something, she began to look down on this princess.
She is a princess, but she kneels down when she is told to do so. She has no self-respect or backbone at all.
She had seen Ziwei, and she felt petty and had none of the manners of a princess. Even with the guidance of a governess, her nobility was only superficial.
……
Xiaoyanzi, who was arranged by the Fucha family to work in a manor, was wholeheartedly waiting for good news from Ziwei. She tried her best to take advantage of the situation in her job and was not efficient at all.
The nanny in the farm just turned a blind eye to this. After all, this person was brought by Master Fucha himself, and Xiaoyanzi was hot-tempered and even more like a shrew than her. She couldn't stand any grievance. She couldn't afford to offend this person.
But Xiaoyanzi was disappointed, as there was no good news from Ziwei and Erkang did not come to see her.
One or two days was fine, but Erkang didn't show up in the farm for half a month and Xiaoyanzi became panicked.
Before she could go find Erkang, she was driven out of the farm by the farm maid with her luggage, holding a letter from Erkang to Xiaoyanzi in her hand.
Nanny: "Fu Jin said that you can leave now. This place is not suitable for you. Here is the letter and silver from the young master. Consider it as your travel expenses. Leave now."
Xiaoyanzi was driven out and became anxious. She threw the envelope that Nanny handed over to her on the ground without even looking at it, and shouted, "Impossible! I want to see Erkang. How can they do this!"
