Chapter 164 Leaving the Palace and Meeting Fu Jin
Xiaoyanzi didn't know what Ziwei was thinking at the moment, so she said innocently, "I'll go back to our Shufangzhai and hide for a while. Otherwise, the little witches will definitely go to Yonghe Palace to chase me away tomorrow. If I hide here with you, they'll think I'm gone."
When Ziwei heard that Xiaoyanzi came to see her just to stay in Shufangzhai, she smiled slightly.
"Xiaoyanzi, they know you and I have the best relationship, so why wouldn't they come to Shufangzhai to find you? I think it's better for you to leave on your own."
Xiaoyanzi didn't expect that Ziwei didn't help her and also wanted to let her go. Xiaoyanzi felt betrayed and was about to get angry.
But Ziwei successfully predicted it and covered Xiaoyanzi's mouth, "Xiaoyanzi, listen to me, I'm doing this for your own good."
"You also know that Princess Yi Jingyan dislikes you. If she finds out you're still in the palace, she'll definitely kick you out with a big fanfare. Then your reputation as a female heroine like Xiaoyan will be ruined. It's better for you to leave on your own. That way you'll be more elegant."
Ziwei patiently persuaded Xiaoyanzi, and Xiaoyanzi also felt that she was very reasonable.
"Hmph, just leave if you want. This palace is like a cage. They can be trapped in this cage. I don't care."
Ziwei still smiled: "Then I will personally send you out tomorrow and bring you enough money. I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."
At this time, Yongqi also rushed to Shufangzhai, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be angry."
It would have been fine if Yongqi hadn't said this, but Xiaoyanzi was naturally angry when he said it. She snorted coldly, "You can't even beat Ertai, you're really incompetent."
Yongqi had a hard time speaking out his heart. Who could have known that Ertai would suddenly become so powerful?
He was beaten for Xiaoyanzi. Not only did she not comfort herself, but she also complained that he couldn't beat her. What kind of logic is this?
But Xiaoyanzi was angry now, and Yongqi knew that arguing with her would only make things worse and would not do any good.
So he suppressed his dissatisfaction and comforted Xiaoyanzi instead.
"Okay, Xiaoyanzi, I will practice martial arts well in the future. I will definitely not lose next time and will not embarrass you, okay?"
What Xiaoyanzi likes most is that Yongqi puts down his airs to coax her. Whenever she sees him like this, Xiaoyanzi always feels that Yongqi loves her very much.
I lost all my energy for a moment.
"Humph! I was just telling Ziwei that I'm leaving the palace tomorrow."
Seeing that Xiaoyanzi agreed so easily, Yongqi looked at Ziwei with gratitude. It turned out that only Ziwei could persuade Xiaoyanzi, who was stuck in a dead end.
Xiaoyanzi's personality really doesn't suit her to live in the palace. It would be better for everyone if she leaves the palace.
"Then I'll send you out tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll take you directly to Huibinlou. Liu Qing and Liu Hong are waiting for you to go there and celebrate the grand opening."
Thinking that Liu Qing and Liu Hong had been waiting for her, Xiaoyanzi felt a little proud for a moment. She, Xiaoyanzi, could always do well wherever she went.
The next day, Ziwei helped Xiaoyanzi leave the palace.
Xiaoyanzi had nothing to take with her. She couldn't take any of the utensils or clothes from the palace.
Although Ziwei had just become a princess and was in great need of money, she still gritted her teeth and helped her collect fifty taels of silver because of the sisterly love between her and Xiaoyanzi.
These were enough for her to spend without extravagance for a long time outside the palace.
Xiaoyanzi took the bundle, weighed it, curled her lips, but didn't say anything.
Ziwei reported back to the emperor and asked him to personally escort Xiaoyanzi out of the palace.
The two went to the palace gate together and waited for Yongqi's carriage.
At this time, a woman outside the palace gate ignored the guards' obstruction and shouted loudly: "Miss Ziwei! Miss Ziwei!"
The two turned around and saw Erkang's mother waving at them.
Fu Jin had changed so much that Ziwei was a little reluctant to recognize her for a moment.
Xiaoyanzi had only seen Fu Jin once, when she secretly ran to Fu Mansion, and now she couldn't recognize her: "Ziwei, who is this?"
Ziwei opened her mouth slightly and took two quick steps forward: "Fujin?"
Fu Jin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Hey, Miss Ziwei, you are finally out of the clan residence. We finally got what we wanted. It is worth it for my master and Erkang to run around for you."
As she spoke, Fu Jin seemed to have thought of something and began to cry bitterly with her hands covering her face.
When Ziwei heard Fu Jin mention Erkang and thought of Erkang's current situation, she couldn't help but feel sad. The two of them got emotional and hugged each other, crying their hearts out.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xiaoyanzi was a little at a loss for a moment. Fortunately, Yongqi came at this time. She pulled Yongqi and asked him what to do.
Yongqi also knew that Fu Jin and Zi Wei were sad because of Er Kang, so he sighed and stepped forward to comfort them: "Zi Wei is able to leave the palace today, so let's go see Er Kang later. Although it's a bit sad, it's good that we can finally get together now."
Fu Jin was startled. Even if they were all fine, the Fu family would suffer the greatest loss in the end.
But after waiting for so many days, the Fifth Prince finally came out of the palace again, and Ziwei also came. He would definitely take them back to see Erkang.
The wife paid her respects to the fifth prince.
Turning around as if she had just thought of something, she bowed to Ziwei and said, "Now it's time to call you Gege."
Ziwei hurriedly stopped Fu Jin from bowing, "Fu Jin, you are the elder, please don't embarrass me. Besides, without the help of you and Er Kang, there would be no Ziwei today. Fu Jin, just call me Ziwei."
Seeing that Ziwei was still bright, polite and warm to others, Fu Jin felt relieved. She nodded, looked at Ziwei with heartache, and kept muttering to herself.
"Ziwei, you've lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a lot in prison. Fortunately, now you have finally gotten your reward. Seeing that you are living a good life now, Erkang and I can rest assured."
Not to mention how he treated Ziwei in the past, but now he treats her three times closer than his own daughter.
Yongqi had not been there since the Fu family moved, so Fu Jin led the way and they walked towards the courtyard.
On the way, Fu Jin kept chatting with Ziwei, as friendly as a mother and daughter who had not seen each other for many years.
Seeing Ziwei and Fu Jin chatting so enthusiastically, Yongqi always had a bad feeling.
Until I heard Fu Jin say: "Er Kang was not feeling well, but he was always thinking about you. He even called out 'Zi Wei' when he went to bed at night, fearing that he would not be able to help you if you were wronged. Later, we heard that you were imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, so we made inquiries everywhere, but unfortunately, our family was dismissed from their posts, so there was nothing we could do."
Hearing that Erkang cared about her so much, Ziwei's eyes turned red again.
Looking at Ziwei's performance, Fu Jin said, "Fortunately, no matter how hard it was, I have finally gotten through it. When you two meet, I can finally express my true feelings openly."
Yongqi understood Fu Jin's hint and frowned before Ziwei said anything.
He didn't expect that Fu Jin was still thinking about these things. No wonder she kept talking about Erkang's concern and care for Ziwei. It turned out that she was still thinking about letting Erkang marry Ziwei.
After thinking about this, Yongqi couldn't help but find it a little funny.
If it were in the past, it would be fine. Ziwei is now a princess after all, and Erkang has become such a useless person. In addition, there is a huge gap between their statuses. How can they get married again?
