The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Without the little swallow making noise, Jingyan said his ears were quiet and he enjoyed his food more.

Fu Ling'an, who had been observing the princess silently, saw that the princess' mood had obviously improved and came to a conclusion.

If Princess Huanzhu is unhappy, the princess will be happy.

Benjamin, who usually gets as nervous as Yongqi when Xiaoyanzi is angry, didn't say a word this time.

Although Benjamin almost couldn't help but speak up to mediate when Xiaoyanzi and Jingyan quarreled, he still controlled himself.

First, Xiaoyanzi doesn’t need him, and second, the attraction of Xiaoyanzi seems to have faded.

When Benjamin first discovered this, he was very overwhelmed, but now he has gradually gotten used to it. Xiaoyanzi is no longer the beautiful and lively girl who performed on the street.

She is no longer the innocent and lively little deer she was when she first entered the palace.

She is now Princess Huanzhu, and whether she is a real princess or a fake one, he cannot reach her level. He also sees clearly the incompatibility between them.

No more illusions.

Good friend Ertai obviously also noticed the changes in Benjamin, and was happy to know that Benjamin was becoming more and more sober.

He was the Fifth Prince's study companion, so he had been familiar with Benjamin since childhood. Even because of Prince Yongqi's identity, there was a natural barrier between them.

It can be said that in this palace, Ertai Benjamin, who are both inferior people, will be closer.

So when Ertai found out that Benjamin and Yongqi both liked Xiaoyanzi, he was very worried about Benjamin.

Because whether it is his identity as a painter or a foreigner, or his delicate and kind heart, it is clear that Benjamin cannot compete with the Fifth Prince.

Ertai didn't want his good brother to get hurt, and he was even more worried that the two of them would turn against each other because of Xiaoyanzi.

Fortunately, fortunately Benjamin can now figure it out on his own.

Seeing that he no longer revolves around Xiaoyanzi and no longer puts Xiaoyanzi first in everything, Ertai is really happy for him.

In the evening, several people returned to the inn next to the Yue Lao Temple.

Yongheng told Fu Lingan what Qing'er had said to him before, as well as the strange reactions of the protagonists during the shooting competition today.

When Fu Ling'an heard that it was a task assigned to Jingyan by the old lady, he marked the importance of this matter with a star.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yongheng said innocently, "Qing'er just told me that, and then I thought I could leave the men's side to me. But after taking on so much responsibility, I found that I had no idea where to start, so I had no choice but to come to you, my good brother."

Fu Ling'an nodded. This was very Yongheng, his style.

After a brief thought, Fu Lingan said, "It's hard to approach Yongqi and Erkang, but there are some people who are easy to approach."

"Who?"

"The two people who burned incense with us that day were Benjamin and Forte."

As for the secret of their small group, Fu Ling'an already had a vague guess and sent people to investigate, but before the matter was concluded, the guess was just a guess after all, and Fu Ling'an could not say it out loud to influence Yongheng's thinking.

However, the southern tour still has a long way to go, and there is still time for everything.

Yongheng nodded, thoughtfully: "They seem to be marginal figures in the small group, and they don't seem to be very close to those people. Will it work?"

"Since it's a shared secret, they must know it. Even if they don't, they'll probably find out from their daily interactions."

Yongheng thought Fu Lingan's words made sense: "I have a good impression of them. Besides, Benjamin also teaches my sister to draw, so they must have a good relationship. My sister even spoke up for him yesterday."

Fu Lingan smiled and said, "The little princess is indeed very kind to her friends."

Yongheng tsk-tsk, "Tsk, you're being really mean to me, your brother."

Fu Lingan smiled and shook his head. Yongheng clapped his hands and said, "Let's take action. The first step is to get close to them."

After saying that, he pulled Fu Lingan out the door.

The two sat in the hall, waiting for the bait to come.

But they finally waited for Benjamin and Ertai.

Yongheng was quite familiar: "Benjamin! Ertai! Come on, let's have tea together."

Yongheng is a very talkative person. Although Fu Lingan is a man of few words, he will not be like a gourd with a sawed-off mouth when he needs to speak. The three of them have a pretty good chat.

Yongheng: "Today's shooting competition is really an eye-opener."

Ertai: "After seeing Miss Hu and Gao Liang today, I've become quite curious about this Yue Lao Temple."

I will tie a red ribbon at night to pray for a good marriage.

Everyone nodded, and they all tacitly came up with the idea of tying a red ribbon.

Yongheng: "Yes, the residents here really believe in this Yue Lao Temple, so it must be quite effective."

Having said that, they all tacitly changed the subject, as no one wanted to let the other know that they were going to tie a red scarf in the evening.

At first, Yongheng was chatting with them with the intention of getting close to them, but after chatting for a while, he found that these two people were to his liking.

The three views of several people are similar and they can chat very well.

Benjamin and Ertai also gradually relaxed from their initial restraint.

The few of them were chatting happily, and the conversation moved from the hall to Yongheng's room.

As they chatted, the topic naturally turned to the trouble-making Xiaoyanzi and the frequent conflicts between Jingyan and Xiaoyanzi.

Benjamin was also distressed when he mentioned this: "Xiaoyanzi was not like this when she first entered the palace. At that time, she was innocent and lively. Although she made some jokes, they were harmless and she was a very likable girl."

Yongheng was shocked: "Are you talking about the same person who tried to beat up my sister by the lake that day?"

Ertai smiled helplessly: "It's just one person. We are also shocked. Xiaoyanzi has really changed a lot without us noticing."

Looking back at the time when Xiaoyanzi first entered the palace, she was innocent, lively, and naive, like a little swallow, like a little elf. But now...

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Xiaoyanzi has become easily angered since the time when Lao Foye and Jingyan returned to the palace."

Ertai was also annoyed: "Yeah, yeah, he gets angry all the time, it's really scary."

What the two said made Yongheng laugh non-stop.

Seeing Yongheng's complete disbelief, Ertai said seriously, "Really? You believe us. And it's not just Xiaoyanzi, but also my brother, the Fifth Prince, and Ziwei. I feel like they've all changed. I even asked Benjamin the other day if they were all possessed by evil spirits."

Fu Lingan spoke up: "Indeed, the Fifth Prince would never say anything about power and oppression before, but it seems that he is too concerned."

When the phrase "concern leads to confusion" came out, Benjamin and Ertai nodded in agreement, saying it was very insightful.

Isn't it just that concern leads to confusion? Yongqi and Erkang are the same, both care too much about these two girls.

Yongheng stopped talking and changed the subject: "Oh, it's okay. Maybe you didn't fully understand them before. Don't worry about it. After all, whether they change or not is beyond your control."

This made sense, and the two nodded and kept it in mind.
