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

Erkang looked at Ziwei who was peeking out from behind the screen. After receiving her pleading look, he rubbed his fingers and made up his mind.

"Yongqi, let's talk."

Erkang took Lu Yi's arm and said, "Let me ask you, do you absolutely disapprove of Liu Qing and Liu Hong entering the palace?"

"Yes, if the matter is exposed, Xiaoyanzi will be in big trouble." Lu Yi said seriously.

"Okay, in that case, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. I have my own way to send the person to the palace. Empress Yu is keeping a close eye on you, so you probably won't be able to attend Xiaoyanzi's birthday party. Out of sight, out of mind."

Having achieved his goal, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and coughed, "Erkang, don't say bad things about my mother. She just wants to have dinner with me. There are no other restrictions."

She turned around and glanced at everyone, "You guys are silent, so you agree with Erkang's idea?"

Torment flashed in Ertai's eyes. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Brother, just like the Fifth Prince, I don't agree with your actions."

"Ertai, since when did you and Yongqi become accomplices?" Erkang couldn't believe it.

"Brother, let's get to the point. From my impression, you're not a risk-taker. Why would you take such a big risk for Xiaoyanzi?"

Ziwei also looked over.

"I'm not doing this for Xiaoyanzi. I'm doing this for someone else." Erkang hinted at something, and Ziwei's face gradually turned red.

"Have you seen enough?" Lu Yi interrupted the two people's affectionate gaze and said:

"Erkang Ziwei, and Benjamin, you insist on taking unnecessary risks, and Xiaoyanzi insists on it. If that's the case, then just do it!"

A glimmer of hope rose in Ziwei's heart: "Fifth Prince, then you..."

"It's getting late. I'm going back to Yonghe Palace to accompany my mother."

Before leaving, Lu Yi said in a deep and sad voice: "Xiaoyanzi, I'm leaving. I wish you a happy birthday."

After saying that, Lu Yi turned around and walked away, covering the upturned corner of his mouth with one hand. From the back, his slightly shaking shoulders made him look extremely sad.

Ziwei sat beside Xiaoyanzi's bed and said, "Xiaoyanzi, Fifth Prince is really sad. Didn't you see that he cried when he left Shufangzhai?"

"...Who made him say such outrageous words!" Xiaoyanzi muttered and pulled the quilt over her face.

The next day, Lu Yi got up and stretched himself, feeling refreshed. After paying his respects to Concubine Yu, he was just wondering how Shufangzhai was doing when the eunuch came in with a message.

"Fifth Prince, the painter Ban is here and wants to go to the academy with you."

"understood."

Lu Yi adjusted his expression and walked out.

On the way, Benjamin said, "Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi has been confined by the Emperor again. She was finally about to be released, but now, even Concubine Ling and the Fu family have been reprimanded. How could the Empress Dowager come here at such a coincidence? We were drinking and celebrating, and the Empress and the Empress Dowager suddenly came in!"

Lu Yi glanced at him and asked, "Er Kang Er Tai, aren't you going to school today?"

"They are at home reflecting on their actions and cannot come to school. Yongqi, you are right. If they bring someone from outside into the palace late at night and are caught in Shufangzhai, the blame will be firmly pinned on Xiaoyanzi!"

"In front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, even if the Emperor wanted to cover it up, he had to punish a lot of people. I am only able to sit here with you thanks to my master."

Lu Yi nodded as if she had realized something. The emperor was now trying to cover it up, and it had happened many times. She would wait and see.

"After school, let's go see Xiaoyanzi. She must be very sad and needs our comfort." Lu Yi took the initiative to speak.

Benjamin's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.

He admired her and said, "Yongqi, if I had known earlier, I would have supported you. You are the one who truly cares about Xiaoyanzi."

Lu Yi patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said, "Hey, don't think too much about it. Shufangzhai is just unlucky. It has nothing to do with Erkang."

……

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor put down the memorial he had just finished reading and said, "Yongqi is here? Let him in quickly."

"Yongqi greets the Emperor, may the Emperor be blessed."

"Yongqi, what's the matter?" The emperor stroked his beard. Could it be that Yongqi also came to plead for Xiaoyanzi?

"Father Emperor, my mother told me that you intend to go on a tour incognito."

"Concubine Yu? I know. She heard it from the Empress Dowager, right? Haha, that's right. I have this intention. Yongqi, you will go with me then."

Lu Yi lifted his robe and knelt down, "Father Your Majesty, I want to plead for Princess Xiaoyanzi."

"These days, she can't go to school or leave the house. All she can do every day is crack the whip. Can you take pity on those fallen leaves and release her from her confinement?"

"She's already unhappy because of being locked up. How can she be a qualified pistachio and make you happy in the future?"

The emperor paused, dipped his brush in the inkstone, and said, "I only asked her to stay in Shufangzhai to reflect on her mistakes. You make it sound like I'm throwing her into prison."

"For Xiaoyanzi, house arrest is like being in jail!"

Lu Yi kowtowed and said, "Father Emperor, since you are going on a tour incognito, why not take Xiaoyanzi with you as well? This will make the journey more joyful."

"Yongqi, come here." The emperor waved to Lu Yi thoughtfully.

"I've thought about it, and you're right. Xiaoyanzi has been confined for such a long time, which is really torture for her. But I have a request."
