The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

The next morning, Liu Yixin saw them off.

"County Magistrate Liu, thank you so much for your hospitality, hahaha."

Liu Yixin was still a little reluctant, "Your Majesty, can't you stay a few more days? I haven't taken you to taste our local specialties yet."

"Well, we won't stay any longer. If we stay any longer, we'll become a nuisance to others."

Xiaoyanzi limped out, holding her buttocks.

Seeing Xiaoyanzi like this, the emperor held his forehead helplessly and said, "Xiaoyanzi, you were in such a hurry to travel early this morning that you forgot about your injury. Can you please rest for a few more days?"

How could Xiaoyanzi, a woman who has been strong all her life, say no?

He hurriedly patted his chest to assure himself that there was nothing wrong.

"But you can't ride a horse or a carriage like this."

Erkang felt deeply about this. He was really tortured to death in the first few days after they set out on their southern tour.

Xiaoyanzi still insisted: "It's okay, I'm Xiaoyanzi, I'm very fast, I can just walk."

Ziwei: "How about this, if Xiaoyanzi feels any pain on the way, we can all walk with her."

"Then that's all."

The emperor was about to order everyone to set off when he discovered that a few people were missing.

"Hey? Where are Yongqi, Ertai, and Benjamin, the three inseparable foreign brothers? Why didn't they show up today?"

Yongqi must have gone to help Xiaoyanzi find cotton, so where were Benjamin and Ertai?

I hope Benjamin is also going to help Xiaoyanzi find cotton. The three brothers are really united.

Jingyan originally noticed that Benjamin had not been so enthusiastic towards Xiaoyanzi along the way, and thought that Benjamin had changed his personality and let it go. Unexpectedly, he could not escape the Shura field that was coming.

Jingyan blamed Benjamin wrongly this time. Actually, he didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to refuse the Fifth Prince.

It turned out that there was a knock on Benjamin's door early in the morning.

"Benjamin! Benjamin!"

When sleepy Benjamin opened the door, he saw Yongqi's eyes full of brilliance.

"Fifth Prince? What's the matter so early in the morning?"

"Benjamin, I've been thinking about it. Didn't Xiaoyanzi hurt her butt? She must be uncomfortable riding in the carriage today. Let's go find some people to buy some cotton to make a cushion for her."

"Ah? I, I won't go."

Benjamin didn't want to go. He had already decided not to get involved in what was going on between the two of them. The Fifth Prince wanted to show his affection, so could he please not drag him into it?

Yongqi doesn't think so. In the past, he would do anything for Xiaoyanzi with Benjamin. Now that Benjamin is not proactive, he feels a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, you know I'm used to a life of luxury. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it. Why don't you go with me?"

"Oh well."

Ertai, who was pretending to be asleep in the room, heard this and knew that Benjamin could not refuse Yongqi. In order to avoid Benjamin's embarrassment, Ertai decided to step forward.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that Ertai had also woken up, Yongqi's eyes lit up. That's great, the more people the better.

After speaking quickly, Ertai naturally wouldn't disagree: "Let's go together, three of us."

Looking at the slightly reluctant Benjamin, Ertai shook his head slightly.

Given their status, it seemed difficult for them to completely reject the Fifth Prince. Most of the time, they just did what the Fifth Prince ordered.

The three of them wandered around the village, buying cotton everywhere.

But freshly harvested cotton is not easy to obtain. Yongqi had ideas but no practical experience, so it was a waste of effort for several people to search around.

Seeing that time was getting later and they still hadn't found any cotton, Yongqi ordered the three of them to go to farmers' homes separately to buy some.

Benjamin, on the other hand, encountered obstacles everywhere and was extremely depressed.

The truth is that the people here had never seen a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes like him. Everyone was scared away when they saw his appearance. How could they possibly sell cotton to him?

After going door to door for a long time and being turned away everywhere, Benjamin sat depressed under a big tree at the entrance of the village.

He said he wouldn't come, but they insisted that he come. Not only did he not help at all, he was also called a "ghost".

He, a 'living person', would really be depressed.

Ertai was doing very well. He was generous with his money and the nearby farmers had never encountered such a good thing. Almost every farmer who had cotton was willing to sell it to him.

"Benjamin!"

Looking at Benjamin who was sad alone under the tree, Ertai rode towards him quickly.

Looking at his empty horse and then at Benjamin's expression, Ertai knew he had hit a wall.

"Okay, Benjamin, look at how much I bought. It should be enough. Let's go back when Yongqi comes back."

Looking at Ertai's two full sacks of cotton, Benjamin no longer cared about being sad.

"Ertai, why did you buy so much?"

Not to mention making one cotton chair, even five or six would be enough.

"I think the master and the others must be very tired from riding in the carriage. Since we are here, why not buy some more and make one for each of them so that they can be more comfortable on the journey."

This doesn't count as going out to find cotton specifically for Xiaoyanzi.

Finally, when the emperor was getting impatient, the cotton-buying trio finally came back.

Looking at the bags of cotton on the three horses, several people opened their mouths in surprise.

"Yongqi, where did you go to buy this? What did you buy? It's such a big bag."

Yongqi just smiled without saying anything, took the sack off his horse and pulled Xiaoyanzi to the other side.

Looking at the slightly puzzled crowd, Ertai began to explain: "It's like this. The Fifth Prince said he wanted to buy some cotton to make a cotton chair for Huanzhu Gege, so that she wouldn't feel any pain when she was traveling."

Everyone understood, and the emperor sighed: "Yongqi has really grown up. He knows how to take care of his sister and looks like a big brother."

Yongqi, Ziwei and others felt very bitter after hearing this.

Fu Kangan touched the other large bags of cotton curiously: "Are these all cotton? We don't need so much, right?"

Ertai and Benjamin smiled at each other.

"I bought some extra and made some cotton chairs for the master and the ladies so that everyone can be more comfortable when traveling."

The emperor did not expect Ertai to be so thoughtful and considerate. He smiled and praised: "Well, you good children have grown up."

"Ertai, in particular, is very steady and careful, which is very good."

Ertai scratched his head shyly. It was rare for him to be praised by the emperor, so he was really shy.

Jingyan was also very happy holding the soft cotton: "Ertai, thank you very much, this cotton is really soft."

As for Erkang, he was already upset because the emperor ignored him completely.

Seeing Ertai taking advantage of the opportunity and catching the emperor's eye, he began to feel a bit of resentment towards Ertai. He was his younger brother and should live in his shadow. How could he be in the spotlight himself?
