Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 116 New My Fair Princess 5

Last night, Emperor Qianlong went to Yunmeng Hall after dark and stayed there until midnight. This news spread like wildfire in the harem, causing everyone to speculate and discuss.

The maids and concubines in the harem were whispering to each other, saying that Emperor Qianlong had taken a fancy to Xiaoyanzi and even planned to take her as his concubine. This news spread quickly throughout the harem like a spring breeze.

Some palace maids privately discussed Xiaoyanzi's beauty and lively personality, wondering if she could really win Qianlong's favor. The concubines, on the other hand, secretly worried that Xiaoyanzi's appearance would affect their own status.

Ziwei in Shufangzhai was like an angry little bird after hearing this, carrying Jinsuo and preparing to question Xiaoyanzi. The Fifth Prince also hurried to Yunmeng Palace after hearing this. Xiaoyanzi, at this time, knew nothing about the rumors outside. The Empress Dowager in Cining Palace smiled after hearing this, like a blooming peony. Qing'er asked curiously, "Old Buddha, are you not angry?"

The Queen Mother held Qing'er's hand and soothed her, "What's there to be angry about? If she's willing, I'd be incredibly happy. Such a wonderful woman is the one that the Emperor has set his eyes on. It's a blessing for the Emperor. If the Empress weren't still around, I wouldn't be surprised if the Emperor said he wanted her to be his empress one day. Only when a capable woman is in the Imperial Family can the Emperor feel at ease..."

Qing'er nodded and said, "Qing'er understands. Xiaoyanzi can only marry the emperor or the prince, otherwise she will have to stay single for the rest of her life and become a royal princess!"

The empress dowager looked at Qing'er with satisfaction and said, "My Qing'er has grown up and become sensible. The emperor and I have chosen Fucha Yunheng, the son of Lord Fucha, as your husband. He is now a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the court. You will have a bright future in the future..." Qing'er lowered her head and said nothing, her face blushing with shyness, like a ripe apple.

Ziwei stepped into Yunmeng Palace with a solemn expression. Her eyes were fixed on Xiaoyanzi, and she demanded, "Xiaoyanzi, are you going to marry the Emperor? He could be your father!"

After hearing Ziwei's words, Xiaoyanzi was bewildered. She opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer. Her heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment. She didn't understand why Ziwei suddenly said such a thing.

Ziwei looked at Xiaoyanzi's expression and became even more angry. She walked over, grabbed Xiaoyanzi's shoulders, shook her and said, "Xiaoyanzi, what are you thinking? How could you marry the Emperor? He's our father!"

Xiaoyanzi was a little dizzy from being shaken by Ziwei. She broke free from Ziwei's hand and said, "Ziwei, please let me go first. Who said I was going to marry the emperor? Besides, why did you come to me? This matter is not your business. Not to mention that I don't want to marry him, even if I do, what does it have to do with you! He is your father, not mine, and I am a princess of a certain rank. Please stop yelling at me all the time. Qiuyue, please get out!"

Ziwei let go of her hand, looked at Xiaoyanzi and said, "Xiaoyanzi, how could you say that to me? How could you do that? You are no longer my good sister Xiaoyanzi. I want to break up with you."

Xiaoyanzi impatiently asked Xia He to kick them out. She had a headache. She had to make medicine for the Queen's illness later. She didn't want to talk to her love-brained daughter, fearing she would become stupid. After Xia He sent them away, Chunhua came to report that the Fifth Prince wanted to see her. Xiaoyanzi said bluntly, "No..."

Zhou Ninghai was ordered to investigate who was spreading the rumors. He knew the matter was of grave importance and needed to find the mastermind as quickly as possible. He inquired everywhere, searching for clues.

Meanwhile, Emperor Qianlong also sent the Sticking Rod Office to investigate. He was furious at the rumors and eventually discovered that it was Concubine Wei who had sent people to spy on the Yunmeng Palace out of resentment.

Concubine Wei was secretly pleased with herself, believing her plan to be flawless. However, she was unaware that the Emperor had already discovered that she was responsible. Meanwhile, Zhou Ninghai had also uncovered some clues.

Through meticulous investigation and analysis, Zhou Ninghai finally discovered some key clues. He followed these clues step by step and gradually uncovered the truth of the matter, concluding that it was the former Concubine Ling, now Concubine Wei, who was responsible.

Just as Xiaoyanzi was about to submit her investigation report to Emperor Qianlong for his attention, she received news that the Emperor had decreed that Concubine Wei be demoted to a concubine and imprisoned in a side hall of the Yanxi Palace. Her children were to be given to other concubines to raise, and renamed Yudie. Upon hearing this, Xiaoyanzi smiled and told Zhou Ninghai and the others to leave her alone.

However, this rumor gave Qianlong another thought. If he married Xiaoyanzi, would their child inherit Xiaoyanzi's true teachings? Would that make the Qing Dynasty even more powerful? He could then train him to be his successor...

Little Swallow, who was sneezing here, didn't know that Emperor Qianlong had started to set his sights on her. On the first day of August, Ziwei got married. Emperor Qianlong, as the emperor, issued an edict to confer Ziwei the title of Gushan Gege, and gave her Mingyue Caixia and others as dowry so that she could marry into the Fulun Mansion. After the wedding, Erkang and others thought that the emperor would change his mind and restore their positions, but there was no news. At first, Erkang was quite affectionate towards Ziwei, but as time went by, he found that Emperor Qianlong did not care about this daughter, so he didn't care anymore. He took concubines one after another, and Ziwei quarreled with him every day and cried all day long. Little Swallow, who got the news, shook her head, she was in love!

Back in Jingyang Palace, Xinrong was trying every trick in the book to get close to the Fifth Prince. Finally, one day, while drunk, the Fifth Prince mistook Xinrong for Xiaoyanzi and consummated their marriage. Although Xinrong knew the Fifth Prince still loved Xiaoyanzi, she stopped bothering him after learning that Xiaoyanzi was no longer seeing him. Her current mission was to quickly bear a child, so that the Fifth Prince would be reconciled... and her position would be secure.
