Chapter 8(2/3)

"Are you too much? She is just a childish temper and has no intention! You are the queen, why are you serious about a child? What crime did she commit and want to send it to the clan's mansion?" Qianlong asked.

"The crime of disobedience!" the queen replied coldly.

At this time, Concubine Ling couldn't help but step forward and said to the queen:

"Queen, don't be angry! The princess is careless and doesn't understand the rules. However, he is good at heart and is very enthusiastic about people! He has always been very popular these days in the palace. Several young princes and princesses like her very much. It is probably a misunderstanding that they bump into you today. You are not aware of villains, so don't bother with her. Let her compensate you, right?"

"Yes, yes! Xiaoyanzi, you kowtow to the queen!" Qianlong agreed, not wanting to make the queen too unfair. After all, she controls the three palaces and six courtyards, and it is her right to take charge of all the rules in the palace.

Xiaoyanzi looked at Qianlong, and Qianlong quietly winked at her. Xiaoyanzi refused to disobey Qianlong, so she turned around and kowtowed to the queen, and muttered:

"Anyway, if you kowtow, you won't lose a piece of meat!"

This sentence was so loud that the queen's face turned pale. Little swallow kowtowed reluctantly, stood up and walked to Qianlong to look for "protection". The queen's uneasiness was like a burning fire, with flames rising. She turned around to face Qianlong and Concubine Ling, and said righteously:

"Emperor! I have a few words that I have to say, and my loyal words are unpleasant. If it makes the emperor unhappy, I don't care! This Condor Princess, since she has been named "Prince", every move represents the royal style. If she does something ridiculous, it will hurt the emperor's dignity! Now, she has caused a lot of trouble and made many jokes. In addition, she is bold and unlucky! The palace is full of people, and her behavior is already messy! If she doesn't discipline her, it will become a big problem in the palace and a big joke among the people! So, I think she should punish me with this attitude today, even if she doesn't send it to the clan's house, so that the concubines and princes in the harem should be wary!"

The queen's words were righteous and reasonable, and Qianlong had to remain silent.

When Concubine Ling heard that she had to punish her, she couldn't help but speak again:

"Queen! Although Xiao Yanzi is reckless, she is not raised in the palace after all, so it is understandable! In addition, her straightforwardness and innocence are the most cherished by the emperor. If she has to be restrained by ethics, wouldn't she wipe out all her advantages! There are not enough regular princes in our palace?"

Concubine Ling's words could be heard in Qianlong's heart, and Qianlong hurriedly nodded and said yes.

"That's exactly! What Concubine Ling said is what I want to say! This is the Concubine Princess. Since it comes from the people, isn't it good to keep her a little 'people'? As for discipline, I have this meaning, but don't be too hasty and scare her, take it slowly!"

When the queen saw Concubine Ling and Qianlong sang together, she was extremely angry, but she was inconvenient to attack. She glared at Xiaoyanzi, who was glaring at her face, and asked the emperor for a peace of mind and said:

"The emperor said so, just do it! I will take my leave first!"

Qianlong nodded, and the queen took her people and withdrew.

As soon as the queen left, Xiaoyanzi smiled, kowtowed to Qianlong and Concubine Ling willingly, and said loudly:

"Little Swallow thanks Emperor Ama for saving his life! Thanks to Concubine Ling for protecting him! I will repay you again in the next life!"

Qianlong was both angry and funny, bent down and pulled up the little swallow and stared at her:

"Don't be too proud. What the queen said is also her reason! She is the mother of the country. Why do you even contradict her? You are not too light or too heavy, you make enemies everywhere, and do some strange things at any time. What should I do to you?"

The little swallow rushed out:

"Just take care of me more and ask me less, and that's fine!"

Qianlong stared at her and smiled.

Qianlong smiled like this, and everyone in the room laughed. A storm disappeared like this. Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi and couldn't help but accept the disadvantage of this strange and tricky "fake princess". She admired her so much that she was so impressed.

On the same day, at the Bachelor's House, Yongqi met his real sister, Xia Ziwei!

Ziwei was wearing a flag suit, elegant and luxurious, walked over gently, raised her clear big eyes, stared deeply at Yongqi, and bowed her knees.

"Xia Ziwei has met the fifth prince!"

Yongqi looked at Ziwei up and down, secretly applauding in her heart.

"My name is Yongqi. You should know that our generation is ranked as the 'Yong' generation. As for age, I am a little older than you, so I should be your fifth brother!"

When Ziwei heard Yongqi say this, her eyes warmed up and stared at Yongqi, she was moved and said with emotion:

"Your sentence "Fifth Brother" is only two words, but it weighs a thousand pounds for me! I have been here from Jinan for half a year and have been struggling in Beijing for several months... I tried every means and ran into walls everywhere! You are the first relative I met! I can't tell you how excited I am now. Although I have no chance to get the emperor's recognition, I am still full of gratitude to God, because you have already recognized me!"

Yongqi was so moved. Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi were simply people in two worlds. Xiaoyanzi had no rules and made a big difference; Ziwei was slender and gentle, like a poem and picturesque. Yongqi said sincerely:

"I really didn't expect that I had a sister like Xiaoyanzi in the palace. Outside the palace, there was a sister like you! Ertai and I were talking about you and Xiaoyanzi all the way!"

"Do you believe my story? Are you not afraid that I am a liar? Don't you think Xiaoyanzi is the real princess, and am I a fake?" Ziwei asked.

Erkang nodded to Ziwei and said:

"Now there is no doubt at all, because Xiaoyanzi has taken everything to the fifth prince and Ertai!"

Ziwei shook and asked in a trembling voice:

"She asked? She admitted?"

"Yes! She admitted it! She said that love had to be done. At that time, there were many situations and many misunderstandings, which led to today's situation! She cried and said she was sorry for you!" Ertai touched.

Ziwei staggered for a moment, and Jinsuo hurriedly supported her. Ziwei felt pain in her heart:

"Did she solve this kind of big thing with the word 'sorry'?"

Erkang walked forward and said sincerely to Ziwei:

"I think, now, our message is meaningless. Only when you meet Xiaoyanzi can you clarify all kinds of problems! Ertai just told me that many things happened to Xiaoyanzi in the palace, and it is already full of crises. At present, it is not known whether we can leave the palace. However, we will definitely find a way to arrange it!" Looking back at Yongqi, "Is that so? The fifth prince will help us, right?"

Yongqi nodded desperately.

"Yes! I must find a way! Xiaoyanzi kept begging me and asked me to take her out to see you! Do you know? In order to see you, she climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and was almost beaten to death by the guards as an assassin! She also brought a lot of jewelry and silver, saying that she wanted to send it to you for use!"

"Is that true?" Ziwei was shocked again.

"Yes!" Yongqi stared at Ziwei, her eyes sincere and profound, and kept looking deep into Ziwei's eyes, "Ziwei, can I have a request?"

"Fifth Prince, don't be so polite. If you have any instructions, just say it!"

"Please don't hurt Xiaoyanzi! No matter what the facts are now, I believe that Xiaoyanzi's love is understandable! It's about life and death, you should still think twice!"

Ziwei looked at Yongqi in shock, and suddenly, on the handsome face, in the bright and luminous eyes, she saw some touching affection. He liked Xiaoyanzi so much! She thought vaguely. In order to protect Xiaoyanzi, or he would rather not have his sister! Xiaoyanzi, she had this magic, so that the people around her could not help but like her and protect her. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be jealous of Xiaoyanzi, should she hate Xiaoyanzi, or had forgiven Xiaoyanzi, or continued to like Xiaoyanzi. Really, after hearing what Xiaoyanzi was doing in the palace, seeing Yongqi and Ertai's loyalty to Xiaoyanzi, her heart was already soft. Hate Xiaoyanzi? She couldn't hate Xiaoyanzi! She was confused and silent for a while.

Three days later, Yongqi and Ertai brought a thick letter to the Bachelor's Mansion to hand it over to Ziwei.

Ziwei opened her eyes wide in surprise and shouted excitedly:

"Little Swallow gave me a letter? The letter she wrote? How could she write?"

"Yes! What a thick letter, she repeatedly told me to give it to you personally! She said she had 'written' all night long before she wrote it out!" Yongqi said.

Ziwei received the letter, Erkang, Ertai, Yongqi, Fulun, Fujin, and Jinsuo couldn't help but wait and see with curiosity. Erkang looked at Ziwei and asked:

"Didn't you say that Xiaoyanzi hasn't studied any books?"

"Yes! I taught her to write my name, but I taught her a lot of geniuses. I always blamed my name for a lot of strokes! So, when she wrote me, I felt so strange!"

Everyone stretched out their heads to look, and saw the word "Ziwei" written on the envelope.

Ziwei cut the envelope and hurriedly pulled out a stack of letter papers.

Ziwei saw several paintings.

The first painting is about a little bird with an arrow in its chest, lying on the ground, surrounded by some people.

The second painting shows a bird sleeping on the bed, and a man in a dragon robe pulling an arrow with tears in his eyes. There is a small flower crying in the distance.

The third painting shows the bird leaning on the bed, staring at the round eyes, a group of people put the princess headdress on the bird's head, and the man in a dragon robe stood beside him and smiled.

The fourth painting is a flower, and the little bird is wearing a plaid headdress.

After reading the four paintings, Ziwei was already filled with tears. She handed the painting to Ekang. She was so excited that she shouted:

"I understand now! I knew that Xiaoyanzi would not deceive me, and I knew that there must be a reason! She was injured? None of you told me that she was injured? Why don't you say that? Did she get shot by an arrow? Is it serious?"

Erkang and others rushed to see the paintings, and they had a little understanding. Yongqi asked everyone in surprise:

"You didn't tell Ziwei that Xiaoyanzi was carrying her into the palace?" Then he looked up at Ziwei, "I shot her with an arrow. At that time, four imperial physicians consulted. The emperor said that if Xiaoyanzi could not be cured, the imperial physician would ask him to "recommend him to see you". It took him ten days to cure it!"

"Why didn't you tell me? None of you said it!" Ziwei shouted.

"We thought you knew, I thought my brother told you!" Ertai said in surprise.

"I thought Ertai had said it, but none of us said it?" Erkang also asked in surprise.

"I will tell you this story later..." Erkang shook the letter in his hand, "Did you understand it?"

Ziwei smiled with tears.

"I understand!"

Fulun and Fujin took the letter and looked at it. Fulun couldn't help asking:

"What did she say?"

Ziwei solemnly took the letter, opened it, looked at the letter and said:

"You may not understand, I will read it to you!" Then he recited the letter seriously, moved and full of emotion, "Where do you send me all your thoughts? Draw a painting for me! The little bird is me, the little flower is you! When the little bird is wandering in life and death, the little flower shed tears in sadness! When the little bird is hard to open, the emperor has no way to refuse the wrong love! When the little bird is confused, the princess' name has already revealed the earth! The little bird is so sorry, the little flower must not be angry! I will give you a pearl one day. Then, the little bird will carry a thorn to apologize for your confidant!"

Ziwei was chanting and saying with great slightestness. Everyone was stunned when they heard it. Erkang stared at Ziwei, and there was still indescribable admiration in a vibrating mood. Everyone was moved and shocked.

After reading the letter, Ziwei smiled at everyone with tears in her eyes.

"That's it. She explained everything clearly!"

Yongqi stared at Ziwei and shouted with convincing thought:

"The so-called princess should be like this!"

"Wow! What is 'expression'? I've learned about it today!" Ertai shouted.

Erkang looked at Ziwei warmly, sighed, and said to himself:

"We have all encountered the strange women in the world!" Looking back at Yongqi, "Fifth Prince, thank you for your arrow! Good shooting!"

Yongqi was stunned.
