Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Ziwei held onto the sullen Xiaoyanzi, "But the situation is different now. Concubine Yu is back, and the Fifth Prince is no longer living alone in Yonghe Palace. It's always inconvenient to travel in the middle of the night. Think about it, isn't it possible that Concubine Yu is holding him back, making him feel powerless?"

Xiaoyanzi's eyes moved slightly, obviously she heard it.

"After finishing this cup of chocolate, let's go to bed, okay? Maybe tomorrow morning, the Fifth Prince will come to coax you."

"...Ziwei, what are you talking about? Who wants him to coax her?" Xiaoyanzi finished drinking the chocolate and lay down awkwardly.

……

"Fifth Prince, you have been making lanterns for the Ullambana Festival these past two days. I was wondering why you didn't go to Shufangzhai these past two days."

"I've been busy for two days, and you only just realized it's a lamp. What a sharp eye you have."

"It's the slave who can't speak."

The young eunuch knew that his master was not angry, so he brought a cup of tea and retreated with a flattering smile.

"Host, you are finally going to meet Xiaoyanzi. I didn't even feel like browsing the forum yesterday."

A aggrieved voice sounded, and Lu Yi chuckled.

"Are you so afraid that I'll be kicked out by the Heavenly Dao? The reward for this mission is so generous, I can pretend to be a bootlicker to the end, and I won't quit the job."

"Host, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Yi picked up the finished lotus lantern, propped up his chin and admired it lightly, saying in a very soft voice, "Don't worry, our blessings are yet to come."

There was still some time before the Ullambana Festival, so she touched up the lanterns to make them look less ugly.

Shufangzhai was already in chaos. Fu Erkang was busy on business and couldn't get away. Ertai came early in the morning. Listening to Xiaoyanzi's crying, his eyebrows wrinkled into a small knot.

Benjamin said, "Don't be sad, Xiaoyanzi. How about this? I'll go get Yongqi and we can talk it out face to face."

"Yes, Xiaoyanzi, you are sad here, but Yongqi doesn't know at all."

Ertai coughed and suggested, "How about this? I'll go find my brother and ask him to bring the Fifth Prince over."

"May I?"

"No, Ertai. Erkang has work to do. He doesn't have time. Don't go looking for him."

"Leave Xiaoyanzi to me. I have a way."

Ziwei finished speaking, half-knelt in front of Xiaoyanzi and smoothed her bangs. "Xiaoyanzi, don't be angry. Let's go light the lanterns, okay?"

Little Swallow raised her head.

"Do you still remember the Yulan Festival? The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress in the palace will all be attending, and Yongqi will definitely be there too."

"Humph!"

Ziwei stood up and squatted in the direction Xiaoyanzi turned her head. "Xiaoyanzi, there are so many beautiful lanterns at the Yulan Festival. Don't you want to go and see them?"

"Yes, those colorful lights are floating on the river for everyone to watch. It's really lively. Little Swallow, you will definitely regret it if you don't go!"

"Of course I'm going. If Yongqi can go, then so can I! After hearing what Ertai described, why shouldn't I go?"

"That's great. Ziwei still has a way. She always finds a way to make our princess happy."

At the Ullambana Festival, Lu Yi held a lotus lantern and looked around at the crowd.

The old Buddha sitting in the seat was puzzled: "What is Yongqi looking at? Look at how focused he is."

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the Fifth Prince is absent-minded."

Concubine Yu smiled when she heard this. "Replying to Her Majesty, and Her Majesty, Yongqi has never been very interested in lantern festivals. Perhaps he has seen too many."

"Really? Concubine Yu, I don't think so."

"Go and call Yongqi over." The Empress Dowager glanced at the Queen.

Lu Yi came over and met them one by one.

"Yongqi, is that a lotus lantern in your hand? The shape is quite... unique."

"Replying to the Empress, I made this lantern myself. It took me two days, but it's still not as good as the craftsmanship of the palace masters."

Lu Yi hid the lotus lantern slightly behind him and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Buddha."

Qing Er laughed and said, "My Lord, look at Fifth Prince. He's shy in front of you."

Several women laughed, and it looked quite harmonious.

Lu Yi stood behind Concubine Yu, his gaze suddenly paused, and he quietly retreated.

Concubine Yu noticed it immediately and her eyes turned cold as she looked in Xiaoyanzi's direction.

Lu Yi turned around and came to the front of Xiaoyanzi, "Xiaoyanzi, I'm sorry about what happened that day. I apologize to you. Please don't be angry with my mother anymore, okay?"

"Why should I be angry with Concubine Yu? She's not wrong. I cause trouble here and there. I, Xiaoyanzi, am a troublemaker!"

"Xiaoyanzi, don't say that about yourself. It's my mother who doesn't understand you well enough. I believe you will gradually change her mind." Lu Yi took out a bright lotus lantern from behind him and said softly, "I made a lotus lantern for you. Fortunately, I finished it before the Ullambana Festival started. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make it in time."

"What, Yongqi, have you been making lotus lanterns for Xiaoyanzi these two days?" Ziwei was surprised.

"Yes, Xiaoyanzi is so angry, of course I can't apologize empty-handed. This lotus lantern took me two days to make. Xiaoyanzi, for its sake, can you please forgive me?"

Little Swallow lowered her head, silently took the lotus lantern and looked at it.

"Yongqi, look at Xiaoyanzi, she's so fond of her!" Ziwei said happily, "Xiaoyanzi, I'm right, the Fifth Prince wouldn't be so cruel to you. This is really a huge misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding?"

"Fifth Prince, you don't know, Xiaoyanzi is crying... well."

"Don't say it, don't say it, Ziwei!" Xiaoyanzi shyly covered Ziwei's mouth, her eyes met Lu Yi's for a moment, then she let go, "I'm not crying, Yongqi, don't be so self-indulgent."

"Are you still angry with me?" Lu Yi's eyes were so gentle that they almost melted water.

"For the sake of the lotus lantern, I will let you go and won't be angry for now." Little Swallow raised her chin proudly and pulled Ziwei to go release the lantern.

"Fifth Prince, Concubine Yu has been watching you and may have something to say to you. Xiaoyanzi and I are going to release lanterns."

Lu Yi watched Ziwei being pulled away by Xiaoyanzi, and then returned to Concubine Yu with a smile on his face.

Without waiting for Concubine Yu to get angry, Lu Yi whispered, "Mother, I promise I won't go anywhere from now on. I will stay by your side. Please don't be so stern."

"It's rare that you still remember mother after sending the lanterns."

Next, Lu Yi concentrated on appreciating the lanterns. If she stayed with Xiaoyanzi all the time, it would affect Xiaoyanzi's performance.

This lantern festival was really grand. The concubines who were usually at loggerheads with each other put aside their prejudices and talked to each other to make the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and Empress happy.

Unfortunately, the peaceful atmosphere was soon broken, and the frightened voices of the palace people were heard one after another.

"No, it's gone!"

"The Buddha's Dharma ship is on fire! Put out the fire!"

The scene was in chaos, but Lu Yi remained diligently guarding the Emperor and Empress Dowager.

"Xiaoyanzi! You set fire to the Buddha's Dharma ship. Do you have evil intentions and want to take revenge on the Buddha?!" The Queen was the first to ask, but the Emperor said nothing. Xiaoyanzi really went too far, and it would be good for her to be scolded by the Queen so that she could realize her mistake.

"Empress Dowager, Xiaoyanzi is not that kind of person. Please don't misunderstand her like this! Xiaoyanzi, please speak up and apologize to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager quickly." Lu Yi looked worried and kept winking at Xiaoyanzi.
