The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

"It's over!" the four of them exclaimed at the same time.

Yongheng and Fu Ling'an went to put out the fire, while Jingyan and Qing'er ran towards the old lady.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she collapsed in her chair and couldn't breathe. The Emperor and several concubines surrounded her to comfort her, fearing that she would get hurt from her anger.

There was still a commotion of putting out the fire on the other side.

Jingyan and Qing'er quickly helped the old lady to calm down.

"Master Buddha, please calm down."

"It's over. Dharma Ship, my wishes for my ancestors are all over."

"Old Buddha, it doesn't matter if you burn this Dharma ship a moment earlier or a moment later. As long as your heart is sincere, the ancestors will see it."

Qing'er was extremely anxious. She was really worried that the old lady would get hurt by her anger.

"Yes, Qing'er is right, Mr. Buddha, please drink some water."

"Master Buddha, you must relax and take care of yourself."

The fire was put out.

Looking at the Dharma ship that had been burned into a hollow shell, the old Buddha was so angry that he almost fainted.

"It's over, it's over."

"Grandmother, don't worry. Yan'er ordered a Dharma boat a few days ago. He wants to pray for you when the auspicious time comes. Would you mind taking it out and using it?"

When everyone heard that Jingyan had prepared a magic ship, they were all surprised.

"Really?"

Jingyan nodded: "It's just a little small."

The emperor laughed heartily: "What's the harm? Hahaha, Yan'er, thanks to your filial piety, the old Buddha's love for you is not in vain."

Then he said to the old Buddha: "Old Buddha, please relax. When the auspicious time comes, shall we burn the small Dharma boat of Yan'er?"

When the old lady heard that there was still room for improvement, her mood gradually calmed down.

Seeing that the old Buddha was no longer angry, the emperor shouted loudly: "Who burned the Dharma ship? Who did this?"

The emperor was furious and everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The Empress Dowager also said that if this traitor is caught, he must be taught a lesson.

Little Swallow's burnt embroidered shoes and the Swallow Lantern were presented.

It's obvious who the arsonist is.

Our protagonist Xiaoyanzi saw that the situation was not good and secretly ran away.

Yongqi even moved to block her.

How could Jing Yan let her run away? He had been keeping an eye on her for a long time.

Seeing her sneak away, Jing Yan put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Who is that?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiaoyanzi.

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she turned around and met the emperor's majestic eyes. She turned around and wanted to speed up.

But the little swallow could never fly out of the emperor's palm.

"Xiaoyanzi, stop right there! Four guards, bring her back to me."

The emperor waved his hand and ordered the four guards who were usually ordered to protect Xiaoyanzi to bring her back personally.

Xiaoyanzi was pulled back by several people.

When passing by Ziwei, he didn't forget to complain about her: "It's all your fault! You said my problem would appear like a pair of shoes, and now it really appeared! And it was a pair of shoes."

Ziwei didn't dare to refute and could only kneel down with her head down.

"Father, I didn't mean it." Xiaoyanzi knelt down and explained pitifully.

Jingyan looked at the unrepentant Xiaoyanzi and was speechless.

Will you die if you honestly admit your mistake?

The old Buddha was really angry: "You burned my Dharma ship. It is simply unforgivable. If Jingyan had not prepared other Dharma ships in advance, it would have been destroyed by you alone today."

She looked at the emperor, waiting for his order.

The emperor was also very disappointed when he saw Xiaoyanzi, who did not repent.

"You burned the Buddha's Dharma ship and you still don't repent. Go back and reflect on your mistakes."

What Xiaoyanzi feared most was being confined to reflect on her mistakes. Upon hearing this, she wailed, "Father Emperor, I really didn't mean it. Besides, didn't Jingyan prepare the Dharma ship for the old Buddha?"

She kowtowed and said, "Father Emperor, Lord Buddha, please be magnanimous and don't punish me."

Jing Yan sneered: "Princess Huan Zhu, what you said is funny. If I hadn't prepared the Dharma ship, would you not have burned it?"

Jingyan's words completely ignited Xiaoyanzi. She jumped up and pointed at Jingyan and scolded him, "Stop trying to sow discord here! Don't you just want to see me punished?"

Jing Yan was unmoved. "Of course I want to see you punished. You burned the Buddha's Dharma ship, and I want to punish you myself."

"I didn't mean it!" Xiaoyanzi looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Yongqi couldn't bear it any longer and started to plead, "Your Majesty, Father Emperor, Xiaoyanzi really didn't mean it. Please forgive her this time."

Concubine Yu was unhappy when she saw Yongqi meddling in Xiaoyanzi's affairs, and she glared at him and told him not to speak.

Yongqi wanted to say something else, but the emperor didn't want to hear it anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, Xiaoyanzi, whether it was intentional or not, you burned the Buddha's Dharma ship. This is unforgivable. Take her back and put her under house arrest."

The little swallow was taken away wailing.

The mess by the river was cleaned up, and Jingyan brought up the Dharma boat he had made.

"Grandmother, look at this. It's nothing compared to the Dharma ship made by Uncle Huang."

The emperor smiled and continued, "But it's so small and exquisite. I put a lot of thought into it."

The old Buddha was extremely satisfied when he touched the Dharma ship.

When the auspicious time arrived, everyone burned the Dharma boat and held a ceremony, and the Ullambana Festival ended successfully.

Everything was peaceful here, but Shufangzhai was in chaos.

Xiaoyanzi yelled angrily, "I'm so pissed! I thought the old lady was such a kindhearted person! I didn't expect she was in cahoots with that Jingyan!"

Mingyue Caixia hurriedly stopped her from speaking.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to curse. You want to ground me in Shufangzhai just for such a small accident? I didn't do it on purpose!"

Ziwei looked at Xiaoyanzi helplessly, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be angry. Burning the Dharma ship is a serious matter. The emperor has already shown great mercy by merely confining you."

The mention of the Emperor showing mercy made Xiaoyanzi even more excited: "The Emperor used to dote on me the most, but ever since this Princess Jingyan came back, the Emperor has stopped loving me. It's only been a few days, and how many times has he punished me?"

"Well, maybe the emperor had to punish you today because he was in front of the old lady. Tomorrow, when the emperor's anger has subsided, you can go and beg him again. He will definitely lift your house arrest."

After much difficulty in persuading Xiaoyanzi, she woke up the next day to find that the emperor did not agree to lift the ban on Xiaoyanzi at all.

Xiaoyanzi was so angry that she couldn't eat. She scolded Jingyan and then the Empress Dowager in the hall.

The four beauties tried to persuade her, but there was no other way. Ziwei could only hope that Yongqi and Benjamin would coax her.

But what about Yongqi?

He was tripped by his own mother.

Yesterday, Yongqi pleaded for Xiaoyanzi and angered Concubine Yu. Today, he was "confined" by Concubine Yu. There were people watching him wherever he went, and he was absolutely not allowed to go near Shufangzhai.

As for Benjamin, he was also tripped by someone, but he was tripped on his own initiative.

The reason was that Qing'er got up early this morning to serve the Empress Dowager, and Jingyan was bored so he ran to Ruyi Pavilion to find Master Lang to learn painting.

He happened to meet Benjamin who was about to give a balloon to Xiaoyanzi.

"Princess He Zhao, why are you here? Are you here to paint?" Benjamin bowed and greeted.

Jingyan waved his hand: "Benjamin, you are getting more polite to me as you grow older. Just call me Jingyan like when we were little."

Benjamin scratched his head and said okay, he has indeed been a little influenced by Xiaoyanzi recently, and he even started to think that the princess was spoiled.

Obviously we were all good playmates when we were young.
