The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine Yu was still angry.

"Tell me the truth about what you did wrong to deserve your royal father's confinement!"

Yongqi lowered his head and said nothing. Concubine Yu thought for a moment and screamed, "Is this all about Xiaoyanzi again?"

Upon hearing this, Yongqi was dissatisfied: "Mother, what do you mean by again?"

After hearing what Yongqi said, Concubine Yu was completely certain that it was all because of Xiaoyanzi, and she felt very disappointed in him.

"Didn't mother tell you a long time ago not to hang out with that little swallow? She's useless except for corrupting you!"

Her son used to be so sensible. Thinking of this, she felt extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have gone to Mount Wutai. She really picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.

Yongqi took a deep breath and said, "Mother, this matter is a little complicated, but I can assure you that the Emperor is just a little angry for a moment. He will release me in a few days."

"Really?" Concubine Yu was skeptical.

Yongqi nodded seriously: "Really."

Only then did Concubine Yu feel relieved and she took the time to turn her attention to Cai Lian, who had followed Yongqi from the beginning.

"Then who is this?"

Thinking of the promise Yongqi made to herself before the tour, Concubine Yu screamed again.

"Mother asked you to conquer Qing'er but you didn't listen. Before leaving the palace, you promised me that you would bring back a daughter-in-law. Could it be her?"

Concubine Yu pointed at Cai Lian, her defenses somewhat broken.

She didn't even know which poor girl came from some small family. She wasn't even qualified to be a maid for her Yongqi, so she was naturally dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Yongqi was afraid that his mother would offend Cailian, so he quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Cailian was rescued by us on the road. She had no relatives and was selling herself on the roadside to bury her father. I saw that she was pitiful and clever, so I bought her back to serve you."

Cailian was also very tactful and stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Your servant Cailian, kowtows to the Empress Yu."

Concubine Yu ignored her and continued to ask Yongqi: "So how are things going between you and Qing'er?"

Yongqi shook his head slightly: "Mother, it's impossible for Qing'er and I to be together. I always think of Qing'er as my biological sister. Please don't mention this matter in the future."

When Concubine Yu heard Yongqi say this, she knew what was going on.

"You lost to Yongheng, didn't you?"

The other candidate, Erkang, had lost the opportunity long ago. Seeing Yongqi like this, we knew that Qing'er had chosen Yongheng.

Concubine Yu sighed silently, wondering why Yongqi was so disappointing.

It seems that the matter of marrying a wife depends on her as the mother.

When Yongqi heard this, he felt very depressed. He really liked someone else, and he didn't know when he could tell his mother.

I don’t know when he will be able to be with Xiaoyanzi openly?

After fooling Concubine Yu with a few words, Yongqi finally noticed Cai Lian who was kneeling there.

"Cai Lian, get up first and let the maid in the palace teach you some etiquette. From now on, you will serve your mother."

When Concubine Yu heard this, she quickly stopped him and said, "Hey, why do you want to serve me? I have no shortage of people to serve me. Taking good care of you is the most important thing."

Concubine Yu looked at Cai Lian carefully for a while, and seeing that she was indeed well-behaved and pretty, she became more satisfied with her.

Since Yongqi was able to bring the person back, he must have the intention of taking her as his wife.

It doesn't matter. She can just serve as a maid first, and then promote her to a concubine when Yongqi gets engaged.

These are not important matters. Now she still needs to carefully consider Yongqi's lifelong affairs.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yu's expression softened. "Cai Lian, right? She's a good girl. You should serve the Fifth Prince well in the future. We don't have so many rules in Yonghe Palace."

Cai Lian nodded obediently: "Thank you, Concubine Yu. I will do my best to serve you, prince."

In Shufangzhai, the palace maids who were happily waiting for their master's return, waited for Gege and Ziwei to return, escorted back by the guards.

Little Swallow was extremely unconvinced and kept shouting while struggling.

"Let me go back. I need to explain clearly to the Emperor. How could he confine us without finding out the truth? Does he want to lock us up for life?"

The guards didn't care what Princess Huanzhu said. After pushing the people into Shufangzhai, they turned around and locked the door.

After all, this was not the first time that this princess had been under house arrest. It seemed that she had made a mistake during the southern tour and angered the emperor.

Seeing the two people being pushed down, Jinsuo hurried forward to help Ziwei up: "Miss! Are you okay? What happened? Why are you under house arrest just after returning to the palace?"

Ziwei shook her head slightly sadly.

Little Swallow covered her butt and stood up from the ground. "This is a long story. Let's go inside and talk about it. I'm so pissed off I'm going to die."

Mingyue Caixia wanted to follow to see if the princess was injured, but was ruthlessly locked outside the door.

Inside the house, Xiaoyanzi was still shouting, "We three sisters have something to say, no one is allowed to come near."

Mingyue Caixia and the four talented scholars sighed. It seemed that Princess Huanzhu was not having a smooth journey on her southern tour. They sat in a row in the courtyard, missing the happy life when Princess first entered the palace.

"Miss, why are you still grounded? Was the journey difficult? Did you tell the truth? What's the situation now? Did Xiaoyanzi make a mistake again?"

As soon as Jinsuo sat down, he asked a series of questions. Ziwei couldn't answer them one by one, so she sighed and said, "This is a long story."

So Ziwei told the story of how Erkang had made a mistake and was about to be beheaded, and how Xiaoyanzi, in a moment of impulse, told the truth about the real and fake princesses in order to plead for mercy.

However, he concealed the fact that he himself knew about the assassination.

Jinsuo was heartbroken after hearing this. "Miss, if you tell the truth, why didn't the emperor recognize you and even locked you up? Doesn't he believe you?"

Ziwei's eyes were filled with tears and she shook her head. She couldn't believe that the emperor didn't want to recognize her. She still held on to hope.

"Perhaps it was because of the White Lotus assassination attempt, and the Emperor was busy dealing with it, so he didn't have time to think about recognizing me."

Ziwei said this to comfort Jinsuo and also to comfort herself.

Xiaoyanzi was not worried at all and casually put her hands on Ziwei and Jinsuo's shoulders.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm Xiaoyanzi here, what could possibly go wrong? The Emperor is willing to recognize even me, so he will definitely recognize such an outstanding Ziwei."

Jinsuo suddenly shook off Xiaoyanzi's hand and glared at her: "If you hadn't said it on impulse and didn't choose the right time, our young lady might have become a princess by now."

"Then I am also trying to save Erkang. Besides, isn't Erkang doing this for Ziwei?"

For Ziwei? Jinsuo was a little confused.

Ziwei hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, my original purpose was to let my father know that I existed and to let him remember my mother. Now that everything has been accomplished, I have no regrets."
