Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

The next day, as they were getting ready to set off, Little Swallow came leading a horse and said she wanted to ride it.

Qianlong agreed without much thought, but he still criticized her for looking like a monkey and not as dignified as Ziwei.

Xiaoyanzi muttered, "Master, do you like Ziwei more than me now?"

He does not mean that.

Ziwei and Erkang looked at each other, their faces suddenly changed, and Qing'er became more certain of her guess.

I didn't expect that Ziwei, who looks so weak, actually has such a big thought.

It’s just like she said herself, don’t judge a book by its cover.

When they arrived at a town, they got off the car and found a garden to rest for a while.

Ziwei diligently brewed some fresh tea, and the steaming white mist of the hot tea floated in the air.

Qianlong praised Emin's ability to get things done, and Hexi also said a few words.

Naturally, E Min did not dare to take credit for it.

"Thanks to the master's great fortune and Fu Kang'an's efficiency, Mr. Zheng agreed immediately."

E Min admired Fu Kang'an very much. He was the most capable among the new generation and was also a humble and polite person, so E Min was naturally happy to speak well of him.

Qianlong became more and more satisfied with Fu Kang'an, and he was doing okay.

He glanced at Hexi, but Hexi didn't react at all.

Are you kidding? Qianlong is a naughty boy. How could Hexi give him something to make fun of?

"Master, Erkang also went there, why don't you praise him?" Xiaoyanzi took credit for Erkang.

He didn't notice at all the indescribable expression on E Min's face for a moment.

Who in the family understands! The names are so similar, but their personalities are so different, and their abilities to do things are even more different.

Is there anyone who would reveal his identity as a royal guard as soon as he sees someone? He is not the emperor, and he is the only royal guard to talk about every day.

That's Vulkan.

Mr. Zheng was originally welcoming, but when he saw Fukang's arrogant look, his face suddenly turned bad. If Fukang'an hadn't tried to smooth things over, he really would have looked down on a royal guard.

Regardless of whether this identity is true or false, there are tens of thousands of guards in front of the emperor, so there is really nothing to show off.

Even so, he was still taking credit for this? He was giving Fulun face by not filing a complaint.

E Min was ashamed for messing up such a small task.

E Min laughed it off, but his impression of Xiao Yanzi and others plummeted.

While chatting and laughing, Ziwei brought out the freshly brewed Biluochun tea.

"Master, this is the Biluochun tea I brought from home. I know you are not used to the tea here, so I brought it here specially."

Mr. Zheng just came over to greet him, and he was unhappy when he heard this. What's wrong? How bad is his tea? Is it even hard to drink?

Mr. Zheng didn't know the identity of Mr. Ai in front of him, and his warm hospitality was completely due to his businessman's character.

When you go out, you make friends everywhere.

But this doesn't mean he can tolerate being humiliated many times.

Hexi saw Mr. Zheng coming over, and also saw Ziwei still not knowing why and continuing to be attentive to him.

She picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Father, each tea has its own merits. Although our Biluochun is of the highest quality, this Jiangnan tea is not inferior. It tastes sweet and slightly bitter at first, but then turns sweet. It is really a good tea."

Ziwei was unhappy that Hexi disturbed her, but due to her status she did not dare to say anything and looked at Qianlong aggrievedly.

But I threw all my seductive eyes at the blind man.

Upon hearing this, Qianlong also took a sip of Zheng Yuanwai's tea and nodded in agreement. It was indeed a unique flavor.

Mr. Zheng looked at it for a while and came in laughing.

"I am honored to have you visit my humble home."

Qianlong stood up and returned the greeting.

"My humble name is Zheng Facai, nice to meet you."

"I, my surname is Ai. Mr. Zheng is really enthusiastic. This is my daughter, this is my son, and the rest are servants. I am sorry to bother you today." Qianlong briefly introduced everyone.

Zheng Yuanwai looked at He Xi with admiration: "She is indeed the apple of Master Ai's eye. She knows when to act and when to retreat, and she is dignified and generous."

He Xi bowed with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, Master Zheng. I feel so ashamed to accept it."

Mr. Zheng was a warm and hospitable person. Although there had been some grudges between them before, he had traveled far and wide and had a broad horizon, so he naturally saw that Qianlong and others were of extraordinary status.

After a brief greeting, Mr. Zheng left as he still had some accounts to check at the shop downstairs.

Qing'er saw Erkang looking around not far away and decided to go and test it out.

Along the way, she saw that Ziwei was very meticulous and considerate to Qianlong, and was also respectful and polite to Fulun.

Could this be the new pawn that Concubine Ling is using to win favor? What a good trick.

"Falcon? What are you doing?"

When Falcon saw that it was Qing'er, he immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Oh, just looking around."

"Is that so? What do you think of Ziwei?"

"Ziwei? Ziwei is naturally gentle and well-mannered." Qing'er could see clearly the tenderness in Erkang's eyes.

That's not right. If Ziwei was a chess piece jointly pushed forward by Concubine Ling and the Fu family to win favor, then what did the affection in Erkang's eyes mean?

Before she could figure it out, Erkang spoke again.

"Qing'er, you have changed a lot." Erkang pretended to be familiar.

"Me? What changes have I made?" Qing'er was a little surprised. Because of He Xi, she and Erkang were not familiar with each other.

"Three years ago, on Wutai Mountain." Erkang stopped there with an ambiguous expression.

Before Qing'er could respond, Xiaoyanzi disturbed the situation again.

"What has changed? What Mount Wutai?"

"Nothing." Erkang restrained his smile.

Xiaoyanzi took Qing'er to keep in touch with her.

She had discussed with Ziwei's four main guards and concluded that Qing'er was a target who could be won over.

Moreover, Qing'er is quite favored by the Old Buddha and may be of great use at a critical moment.

Qing Er couldn't handle Xiao Yan Zi's enthusiasm, so she responded perfunctorily. Xiao Yan Zi couldn't understand it anyway. →_→

As they talked, Qing'er observed the interaction between Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi.

It seems that she has to give up the plans of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

Qing'er knew that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Qianlong intended to marry her to Yongqi, but she didn't care at first.

Before meeting Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi seemed to be a good person. Now, whether it is the relationship between brother and sister or the unusual feelings, they are warning her not to get involved.

"Yongqi, it's better for us to put this matter aside."

Little Swallow came up and asked curiously, "What's going on? Oh, you have a secret!"

"Secrets? I don't have as many secrets as you do."

Xiaoyanzi looked flustered and was frightened by Qing'er's words.

"We have no secrets, no secrets."

Xiaoyanzi is not good at disguising herself, Qing'er can see it at a glance, but she doesn't bother to delve into it further.

She came here just to make it clear that she didn't want to have anything to do with either Erkang or Yongqi.

Yongqi understood the hidden meaning of Qing'er's words and looked at her with gratitude.

Qing'er decided to stay away from it. She had an inexplicable premonition that this would be a big, bad thing.

Their plans had nothing to do with her. Like Lan Xin, she was living under someone else's roof and could not afford to make any mistakes.

Qing'er has always been clear-headed and insightful.
