The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 39: Disagreement among the Four Guards

After Erkang finished his shift, he did not leave the palace, but gathered the four guards together for a meeting.

"I saw Ziwei last night."

Benjamin was a little shocked. No one could stop them from meeting.

"Ziwei, my father, and I have discussed this and have decided to find an opportunity to reveal Ziwei's identity on the road so that the two girls can return to their respective homes. It would be best if the emperor could recognize both daughters."

Yongqi nodded and said that they would do their best to help Ziwei on the way.

Now he and Xiaoyanzi are still brother and sister. If the truth can be revealed, he can pursue Xiaoyanzi openly.

Erkang returned the favor and said to Yongqi, "When the truth comes out, you and Xiaoyanzi will no longer be brother and sister. Ziwei and I will definitely help you realize your dream."

"It's a word."

Yongqi thought of something again and felt a little worried: "I don't know whether my mother will accept Xiaoyanzi. She is determined for me to marry Qing'er now."

"Marry Qing'er?"

Erkang was a little shocked, and then a little jealous. He already regarded Qing'er as his own, so naturally he didn't want her to be involved with others, even her good brother.

But he knew that if he said this he would be criticized, so he pretended to avoid Qing'er like a vicious snake, with a distressed look on his face.

"Yes, Father said before that I was also in the range of the husband that the old Buddha wanted to choose for Qing'er. It's really annoying. Apart from Ziwei, I can't think of anyone else in my heart."

"I feel exactly the same as you do." Yongqi didn't know what Erkang was thinking and thought he had found a confidant.

Benjamin didn't know the underlying plot and was still pondering the issue: "But if you guys ignored Qing'er and avoided her all the way, she would probably be very upset."

"So what? I just can't accept anyone other than Ziwei." Erkang shrugged and didn't care.

Ertai was disgusted by Erkang's behavior. He was discussing how to coax Qing'er yesterday, but today he acted like he was avoiding her and was in love with Ziwei.

I really don’t know how he became like this. It seems like everything went wrong all of a sudden.

Did it rot suddenly? No, Ertai just discovered it now.

Now Ertai doesn't even want to go home. He feels disgusted with that home. If Benjamin hadn't invited him, he wouldn't have come to watch Erkang's performance.

Unable to hold it back any longer, Ertai spoke up: "I'm not saying anything, isn't there still Prince Yongheng? Maybe Qing'er won't even look down on you two."

Benjamin agreed: "Yes, Jingyan and Yongheng are siblings. I think they will have a closer relationship. You two don't have to worry too much."

Erkang was still shaking his head: "You don't understand. A good man like me must take precautions before anything happens."

Ertai got angry when he saw Erkang's behavior: "I think it's wrong for you to criticize others behind their backs. They didn't force you to marry them. Besides, even if you wanted to marry them, they might not want to marry you!"

"No, I definitely don't want to get married. You treated Jingyan like that before, and Qing'er must have hated you to death. I really don't know where you get your confidence from."

Ertai's attack successfully broke Erkang's defense.

"Ertai! How dare you talk like that!" Fuerkang threatened Ertai with his eyes. He was worried that Ertai would get too emotional and tell others what he and Ama had discussed yesterday.

Ertai sneered: "Brother, don't really let me down."

This was Ertai's warning. If Erkang stopped while he was ahead, he would not want to cause a quarrel between the brothers. But if Erkang really went too far, he would not sit idly by.

After saying that, Ertai turned and left.

Yongqi and Benjamin were a little at a loss. They didn't know what Erkang and Ertai were talking about. Why did Ertai get so angry for no reason?

"Erkang, you're being impulsive. Go back and rest. Princess Qing has her own self-respect and pride. She won't break you and Ziwei up. Don't worry."

After saying that, Benjamin patted Erkang on the shoulder and chased after Ertai.

Seeing Benjamin and Ertai gone, Yongqi sighed, "Erkang, are you two having a fight? Why is he so angry?"

Erkang looked at Yongqi and said in a slightly slower tone, "Don't worry about this. Our top priority now is to get the truth out so that you can realize your dream. As for Qing'er, there's nothing wrong with her either."

On the other side, Benjamin also caught up with the furious Ertai.

"Ertai!"

Ertai kept walking: "Are you here to mediate?"

Benjamin shook his head. "How could that be? I also think Erkang went a bit too far, but I don't understand why you suddenly got so angry."

Hearing Benjamin agree with him, Ertai slowed down his pace, feeling a little distressed.

"Benjamin, I really feel that my brother and the others have changed a lot, and it's a bit unreasonable."

Benjamin nodded, he felt the same way, "Let's go to my Ruyi Pavilion and have a seat."

In Ruyi Pavilion, Ertai drank a cup of hot chocolate and finally calmed down.

Benjamin whispered, "It's rare to see you lose your temper. This is not like your usual style."

Ertai was a little distressed: "I just think that they are so disgusted and slandering a girl behind her back. It's too much. It doesn't respect people at all."

Benjamin laughed and said, "I thought you liked Qing'er."

"Qing'er?" Ertai was a little shocked. "How is that possible? How can I be worthy of her?"

"Then you don't like Xiaoyanzi, do you?" Benjamin's expression froze for a moment.

Ertai laughed and said, "That's even more impossible. Do you think I am you and Yongqi?"

Benjamin didn't expect his thoughts to be so obvious. He rubbed his head shyly and said, "Is it that obvious?"

"It's so obvious. As a bystander, I can see it clearly. However," Ertai changed the subject, "I feel like you've been going to Shufangzhai less often recently. Are you giving up?"

Benjamin held up his head in distress. "I don't know either. I didn't tell you that I noticed Xiaoyanzi when she was performing outside the palace. So I was surprised to see her as a princess in the palace later."

Ertai didn't expect that the two had such a story, so he continued to ask.

Benjamin shrugged. "You'll know later. We got to know each other through fighting. I was attracted to this quirky girl."

"Then what are you worried about? Because of the Fifth Prince?"

"It's partly his fault, but more importantly, I've gradually noticed that Xiaoyanzi seems to have changed. She doesn't seem as innocent and cute as before, so I don't know what to do."

Ertai nodded: "Xiaoyanzi's character does have many shortcomings, but it's okay. Take your time. One day you will see through your own heart."

Benjamin didn't expect Ertai to say such a thing, and said with emotion: "In fact, you are the smartest and most insightful person."

"I've already said that a bystander sees more clearly!"

"Good brother, then tell me quickly, do you have a girl you like?"

This question stumped Ertai. After thinking about it carefully, he came up with an answer: no.

Benjamin was a little disappointed. It turned out that those who see things most clearly usually don't have a loved one.
