Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

Faced with Yongqi's extreme and uncontrolled reaction, Ertai showed no fear and refused to give in. His eyes turned cold, and he swung his arm violently, slapping Yongqi fiercely in the face. At the same time, he loudly retorted, "Yongqi, don't go crazy and talk nonsense here! The truth is definitely not what you see!"

Before he finished speaking, the two of them pounced on each other like two enraged lions, tightly entangled together, and then started a thrilling and extremely fierce close combat.

Xiaoyanzi, standing by, was completely dumbfounded. She stared at the two men fighting fiercely in front of her, muttering, "Yongqi, Ertai, are you two too full and have nothing to do? I'm starving, and you dared to eat secretly behind my back and fight to digest it."

At that moment, Falcon rushed to the scene and, without a word, forcibly separated the two men. He roared angrily, "It's come to this point, and you still have the mind to fight here? Stop it immediately!"

When the two finally stopped fighting, Fu Erkang was still furious and demanded angrily, "Why don't you tell me what happened? Everything was fine, why did you suddenly start fighting? Ertai, how could you fight with Yongqi? And how did your clothes end up on Xiaoyanzi?"

At this time, Xiaoyanzi came back to her senses after being asked by Falcon. She looked down at the clothes she was wearing and remembered what happened before she went to bed. It seemed that her clothes were accidentally wet.

She clutched her clothes tightly, slowly stood up, and said coquettishly: "I accidentally got my clothes wet when I was fishing just now. Ertai was just kind enough to lend me his outer robe. Oh, Yongqi, I'm so hungry now!" Yongqi didn't expect the real situation to be so simple. All this was just a misunderstanding of his own.

"Ertai, it seems that I have wronged you." Yongqi said this casually with a little embarrassment, but there was a clear lack of sincerity in his tone.

Then he frowned, looked at Xiaoyanzi with concern and said, "You'd better change your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold and getting sick. Erkang, Ertai and I will go find some food to fill your stomach."

Before he finished speaking, Fulun came jogging over, panting with exhaustion, holding a few brightly colored wild fruits tightly in his arms.

"Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, look, I picked these fruits with great difficulty. They can fill your stomach temporarily. Let's continue to look for other food later." As Fulun said this, he handed the fruits in his arms to everyone.

Seeing this, Yongqi took the initiative to pick out a bright red fruit, handed it to Xiaoyanzi carefully, and said gently: "Try this, it shouldn't be too sour." Then he picked up another equally bright red fruit and put it in his mouth to chew.

The Fu family, father and son, had no choice but to choose fruits with green skin. As soon as they took a bite, the strong, astringent taste instantly filled their mouths, causing them to frown and look embarrassed. They had never tasted fruits with such a unique flavor before.

"Yongqi! We have to be extra careful from now on! We must not let the master down again, otherwise things between Ziwei and I will become extremely difficult." After Falcon quickly finished the fruit in his hand, he put on an old-fashioned and worried look, sighed deeply and said.

Fulkang wasn't the only one who understood the deeper meaning of this. Yongqi, a prince himself, naturally understood it all too well. He knew that without the emperor's favor and care, their fate would be tragic.

In the past, he was the most favored and perhaps there were many things he didn't need to worry about, but now, whether it was out of his feelings for Xiaoyanzi or the threat from Yongji, Yongqi was deeply aware that the time had come for him to learn to "compete for favor."

Yongji, that little brat, took advantage of his young age and pretended to be innocent, carefree and cute all day long to please the emperor. It seemed that he didn't pay as much attention to himself as before... Thinking of this, Yongqi couldn't help but clench his fists secretly -

Humph! In that case, I might as well do the opposite. Using the excuse of helping the Emperor solve his problems and share his worries, I will strive for opportunities to demonstrate my abilities and regain his favor.

Furthermore, he must devise every possible means to enlist the aid of Concubine Ling. The Empress, now aged and fading in beauty, could never compare to the youthful, charming Concubine Ling. He desperately needed Concubine Ling's influence in the Emperor's ear; conversely, Concubine Ling desperately needed a prince to lean on. This way, both sides would gain what they needed, achieving a win-win situation.

"Erkang is absolutely right. We must not lose the master's favor. Xiaoyanzi, you must try to repair your relationship with Ziwei. The emperor's attitude towards her is very serious now!"

Hearing this, Xiaoyanzi pouted and muttered in annoyance, "Ask me to please her? No way! She was the one who wanted me first. I'm a very principled person, just like that army... or food thing you guys were talking about."

"A gentleman does not accept food given out of pity," Ertai quickly interrupted to correct him.

"That's right, that's exactly what the saying 'A gentleman doesn't accept food given out of pity' means." Little Swallow placed her hands on her hips and growled majestically, "Unless she comes and apologizes to me, I won't forgive her so easily!"

Yongqi had never been willing to force Xiaoyanzi. Seeing her like this, he didn't say anything and just looked at her lovingly.

Falcon said, "I still have to find a way to talk to Ziwei and let her know how much I miss her during this period. Ziwei is soft-hearted, and maybe she will return to her old self after seeing her once."

Ziwei curled the corners of her lips. This Falcon was dreaming all day long. His calculations were all written all over their heads, but they were so self-righteous that they thought others couldn't see it.

She wanted to see what would happen to him along the way. She didn't mind beating him up. He had such a big nostril and was disgusting people all day long.

"Okay, it's getting late. I guess the master and the others are about to set off. Let's go quickly!" Fulun urged and took the lead to walk out of the woods.
