Before Ekang could finish his words, Qing'er walked out of it, clapped her hands and said loudly:

"Erkang! Well said, so well said! I applaud you!"

Ekang and the Empress Dowager were both surprised, and Ekang looked at Qing'er in a mess and said in a daze:

"Qing'er...I'm sorry...I...I..."

"What's wrong with me? It's so reasonable that I'm both moved and admired!" Qing'er said with a frank smile and turned to the Queen Mother, "Lady Buddha! You sent me away just to force Erkang to take me in? Didn't I tell you clearly? I don't want Erkang, I don't want Erkang, who only has Ziwei in his heart! If you have to promise me to Erkang, you need to remove Ziwei from his heart first, otherwise it would be too insulting me! Today, even if Erkang agreed, I will refuse! Erkang was right. Doing this will hurt the three of us! Especially, it will hurt me! Because they both have feelings for each other, which onion and which garlic do I think?"

The Queen Mother was stunned and looked at her and said:

"Qing'er, I know you have your pride...but..."

Qing'er stepped forward, pulled the queen mother aside, and whispered:

"Can I go and talk to Erkang?"

The empress dowager was stunned and thought Qing'er was going to persuade Ekang in person, so she nodded.

Qing'er walked towards Erkang and said:

"Let's go to the Royal Garden for a walk!"

The two walked into the garden. When Qing'er saw that no one paid attention to them, she said hurriedly:

"Laofu insists on his own. Don't take it as my intention, that will make me feel ashamed!"

Erkang stared at her, and his feelings for her were so complicated.

"Qing'er, if I hurt you, I hope you don't get angry and don't mind, I... I don't know what to say to you. Over the past year, you have helped us again and again, and worked hard for us! What you did for Ziwei, for Xiaoyanzi, for me, for the fifth prince...everything, every bit, is in my heart! I am not an ungrateful person. I once said that I am willing to smash you to pieces, but..."

Qing'er raised her clear eyes, looked at him frankly, and interrupted him gently:

"Don't say it! I know every word, every thought, and every feeling in your heart very well! Since I witnessed this love between you and Ziwei with my own eyes, I feel moved and shocked! I envy you so much, and I hope you will be happy!" She smiled and said proudly, "How could I let myself get stuck between you and sit in the cold-shoulder? Then... wouldn't it belittle myself too much? Am I not worthy of having my Erkang?"

Erkang was shocked and looked at her deeply, with real impressed eyes.

"Qing'er! You have changed!"

"oh?"

"You are no longer following the side of the Lord Buddha, that timid little girl. You are already a woman with flesh and blood and thoughts! Ziwei said that you are full of poetry and books and talented, and are the fire buried under the iceberg. You look "cold and arrogant" on the outside, and you are "passionate and rushing" on the inside! I think that the one she analyzed is the most real you!"

Qing'er was stunned and asked in emotion:

"She said that to me?"

"Yes! We left the palace and talked about you often!"

Qing'er was a little shocked, her eyes shining with brilliance, thinking to herself, the one who knows me is Ziwei!

"Ziwei, she understands me!" She looked at Erkang, "You and Ziwei are my confidants! I think we can still enjoy the snow and the moon together when we are gray-haired. I will not destroy this beautiful relationship! So, don't take the advice of Lord Lafayette to heart, I will convince her! If you owe me, just pay back the friendship you have in your life!"

"Yes! The friendship of a lifetime will never change!" Erkang said sincerely.

The two looked at each other deeply and summarized all their feelings into a most sincere and noble friendship. Both of them knew that there are many variables in life, and even loving couples may not last forever. However, their friendship will not change for the rest of their lives. In the following years, they did confirm this. We will not express those later.

Back at that time, after Qing'er and Ekang had a plea, she returned to Cining Palace and confessed to the Empress Dowager again:

"Lao Fu! Please spoil me once, don't promise me to Erkang! I don't want 'Ehuang Niaoying', I'm not 'Ehuang', nor 'Niaoying'! Erkang loves Ziwei so much, if I follow him, what status will I have? Although I was moved by him before, it's over! Now, he is just my elder brother! Please don't object to him and Ziwei anymore, that's good to me!"

"But, I remember you said that you also have the feeling of 'being ready'..." The Queen Mother said in confusion.

"I still have that feeling, but it's not Erkang! It's about a character in the void, it's a fantasy and dream! I also hope to have someone like Ziwei, who has no other woman in my heart!"

"Where is such a person? Even if there is one, you can't meet him! You don't want Erkang now, what should you do in the future?"

Qing'er looked at the Queen Mother and said thoughtfully:

"I know that Lady Wu really loves me and thinks about me everywhere! Let's do this, Lady Wu gives me a right so that I can choose my future! If one day I like that person, I will tell Lady Wu that at that time, Lady Wu will help me decide!"

The empress dowager looked at her pamperedly, and had no choice but to leave Ekang to Ziwei.

"Then... let's do it like this! Don't be ashamed of it!"

"At that time, I will never let go of the opportunity again!" Qing'er felt relieved and smiled.

So, on that day, the Empress Dowager held Qing'er's arm and came to Shufangzhai.

"Ziwei! Little Swallow! I'll come to see you two. It's cold. What else is there to lack in Shufangzhai?" The empress dowager asked kindly and caringly, "Is the quilt warm enough? Do you want to make a few more winter clothes? I think you two girls are wearing very thin clothes!"

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi looked at the Queen Mother in shock. This was the first time. When the two of them heard the Queen Mother's warm conversation, they were both shocked. Erkang and Yongqi stood behind them, with a look of surprise on their faces. Ziwei hurriedly bent her knees and said gratefully:

"God of Lafite, we have nothing to do. In Shufangzhai, we have everything we need to eat, drink, use and wear! Thank you, Lord of Lafite, care!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Yongqi and Erkang, and they were a little nervous. Because he was caught by the Empress Dowager again, he arrived at Shufangzhai early in the morning. Erkang was particularly nervous, not knowing whether the last proposal had been settled? What if the Empress Dowager and Ziwei talked about, wouldn’t it be a big upside down again? He couldn’t help but look at Qing'er. Qing'er understood his uneasiness and immediately gave him a stable smile. Erkang was in a little calmer. The Empress Dowager’s eyes also fell on Erkang’s face:

"Erkang, your Ama has been implicated by you, thank you for your hard work this time! How about you mom?"

Erkang was flattered and reported:

"Go back to Lao Fu, Ama and Mother, when I saw me coming home, the two princesses were in good health and were so happy that everything was fine!"

"Then...when will Ertai come back?"

"Ertai was about to set off, but Seya was pregnant, and Balbeen refused to let her set off at this time, so it might take a while! Fortunately, I'm already home, and Ama and the others are at ease!"

"Be pregnant? That's great!" said the queen mother happily, "I didn't expect my brother to be in front of my brother! I think you two have to pick up the days of great joy! Tomorrow, I will study with the emperor!"

When Ekang and Yongqi heard this, they were surprised. Ziwei lowered her head shyly, and the little swallow rolled her eyes and pretended to be confused.

Yongqi stepped forward and asked sincerely and frankly:

"God of Lafayette, you don't object to our marriage anymore?"

The empress dowager looked at Yongqi, looked at Xiaoyanzi, walked over, grabbed Yongqi with one hand and Xiaoyanzi with the other, and said:

"Yongqi, I didn't choose this granddaughter-in-law, I always feel a little uneasy! But you convinced me with facts, and I am so moved! Yes, I don't object to you anymore! I accept you and hope you accept me!"

Yongqi was so moved that she shouted:

"God of Lafayette! Thank you!"

The Empress Dowager let go of Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, turned around and pulled Ziwei and Erkang, and said:

"There are also Ziwei and Erkang. You couple have suffered so many storms and waves. They are still so determined. I really can't help but be moved! I will no longer hinder you, I wish you all blessings!"

Ziwei was surprised and said gratefully:

"Laofu! Ziwei has no more extravagant requests to receive your blessings!"

Erkang was also overjoyed and said repeatedly:

"Thank you for your understanding, thank you for your accomplishment! Thank you for your tolerance and... everything!"

Xiaoyanzi was surprised and happy. Looking at the empress dowager, she couldn't believe it. Zhang big eyes said:

"Laofu! Will you still be angry when I say the wrong thing in the future?"

"Don't be angry!" said the queen mother with a smile, "I think it is 'Memories'!"

"Memories City?" Xiaoyanzi shouted in surprise, "God Lafayette also knows Memories City?"

Qing'er smiled and inserted:

"I told Lord Lafayette! I have told you all the thrilling stories. Now, I'm talking about Chapter 3. Lord Lafayette is so interested in listening to it!"

"Havenly Master, do you know everything? Don't we blame us?" Ziwei asked in disbelief.

The Queen Mother looked at Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi and said affectionately:

"Two girls, I have had many misunderstandings about you before. You don't blame grandma anymore, right?"

"Grandma?" Xiaoyanzi opened her eyes wide.

"Yes! Isn't it called 'grandma' in ordinary families? I remember someone told me that the three words 'Laofu' are really awkward. I want to be an ordinary 'grandma' now!"

The little swallow was so moved and surprised, and shouted enthusiastically:

"Grandma! I'm so happy! I have a father, a brother, and a grandma again! Then... have you forgiven all my big and small mistakes?"

"Didn't Ziwei say it? The greatest virtue in life is 'forgive'!" said the Queen Mother.

"Lao Fu! With these words from you, I'm so glad we're back!" Ziwei shouted with tears.

The Queen Mother hugged the two girls tightly in her arms.

Erkang and Yongqi looked at each other, and they were all shining with brilliance and were very moved.

Qing'er looked at all this with a smile, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips. Erkang walked to Qing'er and said gratefully and sincerely to her:

"Qing'er! Thank you!"

Qing'er smiled at Ekang.

The matter in the palace has come to an end for the time being. Now, we will talk about Huibinlou.

That night, Huibin Building reopened, and the opening scene was really grand.

I saw a row of young men in red dress beating drums vigorously, and the drum sound was rumbling.

Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and Jin Zuo were all shining and stood at the door of Huibin Building with a smile, happily.

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang, Yongqi, Xiaojian surrounded Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and Jinsuo, and everyone looked around excitedly. Baoya was even more excited when she stood beside Ziwei.
