A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 168: Being a Perfect Man in My Fair Princess (3)

"Don't I know nothing? She doesn't even know that you like her. She follows you around all day long, but she doesn't seem to have any interest in you. I think even Ertai is more likable than you." After her defense was broken, Concubine Yu spoke with thorns, and every word pierced Yongqi's heart.

Yongqi instantly felt resentful towards Ertai, but when he thought of Xiaoyanzi's personality, he let it go. After all, Xiaoyanzi was likable, and Ertai's liking for her showed that he had good taste.

Ertai had no idea what misfortune had befallen him. At the moment, he was comforting his drunk brother.

"Why don't you like me? Now it's a luxury for me to even get close to you." Ertai didn't know who Erkang was talking about, but no matter who it was, he knew that this was the person his brother couldn't get.

"Brother, stop drinking. You still have to work tomorrow. If you drink any more, how can you work tomorrow and protect Brother Qing and Master Buddha?"

"Princess Qing, yes, there is also Princess Qing." Erkang thought of his way out and knew in his heart that this was his only way. After burying the regret in his heart, he wiped his face.

Ertai couldn't do any of those little moves, so he repeated to himself several times that this was his real brother, and then he took the man back. After Erkang washed up with the help of the maid, he was thrown onto the bed by Ertai.

After instructing the maid to wake up Erkang tomorrow, Ertai left. He also had to be on duty beside the Fifth Prince and couldn't be late.

The next day, the Fifth Prince saw Ertai beside him and felt that he was not happy with everything about him. He immediately gave Ertai a few days off, and then went to Shufangzhai alone to find Xiaoyanzi to go to the Shangshufang together.

Shiyi passed by the Fifth Prince and looked at the hurried Erkang. Shiyi shook his head and said, "It seems that some people are really exhausted."

"What instructions does Sixth Prince have?" the eunuch behind him asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, you go back and take good care of your mother. I will go there myself." The young eunuch bowed and left.

Shi Yi crouched down and turned to go behind the rockery. Soon, Qing'er and Erkang appeared here. Qing'er was shy and said, "Do you really still remember the days when we looked at the stars and the moon together and talked about poetry and songs?"

"I remember, Princess Qing"

"No, call me Qing'er"

The two of them were exchanging sweet words within the bounds of etiquette, and Shiyi felt a little regretful for watching the show here.

"Then when will you ask for permission to marry me?" Qing'er was very shy, and her upbringing only allowed her to say this.

"Qing'er, can you wait for me a little longer? Wait until I have achieved something great. I don't want you to suffer with me." Erkang's face was full of sincerity.

"Erkang, following you, I am not afraid of being wronged." Qing'er's face was full of emotion.

Shiyi in the dark was speechless. After waiting for the two to leave, the person Shiyi was waiting for finally showed up. When Concubine Yu came over with the palace maids, it was obvious that they didn't see anything.

At this time, Shiyi's deliberate waiting was effective. He changed his voice slightly and said, "I heard that the Fifth Prince has a good relationship with Princess Heshu."

"They are siblings. Isn't it normal for them to have a good relationship?"

"Oh, you don't understand this. The Fifth Prince and Princess Heshu are not biological siblings. Princess Heshu is just the Emperor's adopted daughter."

"You mean, the Fifth Prince and Princess Heshu are..."

"Who's there?" Concubine Yu shouted angrily when she heard this, but no one paid attention to her: "If you don't come out, I will have people search the entire imperial garden."

But still no one came out, so Concubine Yu turned around and went in the opposite direction of Shiyi. Shiyi took the opportunity to turn around and leave. It was unknown whether the stimulated Concubine Yu would remain silent or go crazy.

In the study, Yongqi was carefully teaching Xiaoyanzi how to write. The familiar feeling made Xiaoyanzi unable to refuse Yongqi, while Ziwei was playing with the special iron brush in her hand out of boredom.

"Yongjue, why are you so late today?" He looked Shiyi up and down: "Did something happen to you?"

"It's okay, I just got my clothes dirty when I went out, so I was delayed for a while." Shi Yi said perfunctorily, then turned around and watched the relationship between Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi develop with Ziwei.

The ambiguous atmosphere was not broken until Ji Xiaolan's arrival. Yongqi covered his hands, feeling a little excited inside. Xiaoyanzi's face was full of shyness, looking like a little girl in love.

Upon seeing this, Shi Yi could only sigh at the attraction between the male and female protagonists, otherwise there wouldn't have been such great progress so quickly, and he completely ignored his own role in fueling the flames.

Soon, there was some ambiguity between Erkang and Qing'er. Erkang finally made up his mind to ask Concubine Ling to help him and Qing'er get together.

Concubine Ling took the matter decisively and tentatively mentioned Erkang to the Empress Dowager. Qing'er beside her lowered her head shyly. The Empress Dowager knew that Qing'er was willing and spoke to Concubine Ling with satisfaction. Concubine Ling knew that the matter was settled.

"What a coincidence. Concubine Yu was talking to me about Yongqi's marriage two days ago." Concubine Ling smiled and chatted with the Empress Dowager.

"It seems that Yongqi has no sweetheart, so it's difficult for me to make any arrangements." When Yongqi was mentioned, the Queen Mother began to worry.

"I have noticed that Yongqi has a very good relationship with Heshu. I think maybe I can find out about Yongqi's preferences from Heshu?" Concubine Ling was a top-notch eloquent woman. She could listen to the empress dowager after she said a few words.

When Xiaoyanzi was summoned by the Queen Mother, everyone was there. Yongqi was really worried about Xiaoyanzi going to see the Queen Mother alone, so he simply followed her.

"Empress Dowager, Princess Heshu and the Fifth Prince are here."

"This child, when I summoned Heshu, he followed me here with his eyes eagerly," the Queen Mother teased with a smile. She thought Yongqi came to show his filial piety.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Xiaoyanzi bowed obediently, and the Empress Dowager called out in a friendly manner.

"Have you recovered from your injury? Have you taken any medicine recently? How do you feel?" The Queen Mother asked Xiaoyanzi a series of questions, making her dizzy.

It took Xiaoyanzi quite some time to answer these questions, and the Queen Mother finally got to the point: "You have a very good relationship with Yongqi. I wonder if Yongqi has ever told you whether he has a sweetheart?"

"Never heard of it," Xiaoyanzi shook her head after carefully recalling.

"This is strange," the empress dowager was puzzled. The emperor at that time already had children at this age, but Yongqi didn't even have a maid to share the same room with him.

"Why is Your Majesty still asking Xiaoyanzi? If your grandson has someone he likes, he will be the first to tell Your Majesty." Yongqi desperately winked at the Queen Mother.

"So, there is one?" The Queen Mother understood immediately.

With the cooperation of the grandfather and grandson, Yongqi finally said the name of his sweetheart in front of Xiaoyanzi: "My grandson likes Xiaoyanzi, and I only want Xiaoyanzi in this life."
