Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Sister Lan." He Xi looked at Lan Xin, and Lan Xin smiled at her.

"Sister Lan, could it be that..."

"No, I, I just..." Lan Xin immediately understood what He Xi meant and said shyly.

He Xi's heart sank, wondering if her sister was just a love-brained person.

"He Xi, I understand. I understand my identity." Lan Xin suddenly said in a deep voice.

Although she admired Hao Zhen for releasing the white fox, it was not enough to make her have other ideas.

In fact, she had another idea. As the adopted daughter of the queen, she would most likely be married off to Mongolia in the future. If so, if she was lucky enough to stay in the capital, Prince Shuo's Mansion would be a great choice.

She had never been like He Xi, she had no choice.

But she was a contented person. The Queen and Hexi treated her very well, and she cherished such days very much.

He Xi obviously didn't know that Lan Xin, who was so young, thought so much. For some reason, she just didn't have a good impression of Hao Zhen.

But she soon put the matter out of her mind. She just didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter several years later.

Now she is extremely shocked.

The story goes like this. Ever since Lan Xin entered the palace, it was like a Pandora's box was opened. Not long after, Prince Yu died in the battlefield, and his only daughter, Princess Qing, was brought into the palace.

Lan Xin was raised by the Queen, Qing'er could not go to Kunning Palace, and the status of other people was not high enough. In order to prevent others from saying that he treated loyal ministers badly, Qianlong thought about it and decided that the Queen Mother was the most suitable.

The Queen Mother saw Qing'er, who was gentle, quiet, and kind, and wanted to raise her. The two hit it off immediately, and Qing'er served the Queen Mother.

He Xi was shocked when he found out.

No way, Qing'er? Why does this name sound so familiar?

You have to know that in her childhood, My Fair Princess was very popular all over the country, and she had watched it several times. Of course, a certain grandma had only watched this drama.

Yes, why didn't she think of it? Wasn't it Rong Mama, one of the villains, who was with her day and night?

It’s just that the ferocious Rong Mama in the TV series was very amiable in front of her.

It’s a pity that she still hasn’t reacted even after more than ten years.

Then the crazy swallow and the little white flower...

He Xi shook her head. It was useless to think too much. Anyway, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were on good terms now. She wanted to see what that Crazy Swallow had to be so proud of since she was the legitimate princess.

She had no intention of avoiding it, but she also had no intention of provoking it. She just wanted to let nature take its course. In terms of identity, status, and favor, she had never been afraid of anyone.

From then on, Qing'er and Lanxin all became Hexi's playmates, and the three of them had a very close relationship.

Six years passed in a flash, and the royal daughter grew up.

There are always some short-sighted people who disturb the beautiful and peaceful days.

That day Hexi was inspecting her roses in the imperial garden as usual.

These rose seeds had been gathering dust in the warehouse before. Hexi liked roses very much, and after knowing this, she asked Qianlong to allocate a small plot of land in the imperial garden for her to plant roses.

After finally getting his daughter to make a request, Qianlong naturally agreed without saying a word.

That day Hexi and Qing'er Lanxin made an appointment to go see her roses. It would be okay if they didn't see them, but once they saw them, they were furious.

Family members, who understands? There is actually a flower thief in this heavily guarded harem!

"Brother, will we get into trouble by doing this?" Ertai asked anxiously.

Erkang said confidently, "You are just timid. Didn't the imperial physician say that your Majesty has a lot of liver fire recently, so it's best for her to drink some rose tea?"

"Can……"

"Don't worry, hurry up and get more. I didn't expect there are roses in the Imperial Garden."

Although Ertai was uneasy, Erkang's long-term suppression of him made him dare not refute.

"How dare you! Which little thief dares to steal flowers?" When Linlang saw two people dressed as guards picking roses in the rose garden, she was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, unable to control her anger.

Er Kangertai stopped immediately after hearing this and looked up at them.

"Who are you! Why are you picking my flowers?" He Xi looked at the destroyed roses with heartache.

Erkang and Ertai looked at each other and quickly knelt down. Judging from the man’s attire, he must be a member of the royal family.

"Please forgive me, my brother and I. Our father is the scholar of Fuda University, and our aunt is Concubine Ling. The imperial physician said a few days ago that my aunt has a strong liver fire, so..."

He Xi sneered, wow, so this is the big nose and the son-in-law.

Hexi also understood what Erkang meant. It turned out that he wanted to bring up Concubine Ling. Little did he know that Concubine Ling would take a detour when she saw her!

"Oh? Concubine Ling asked?" Hexi said in an ambiguous way. Erkang didn't understand what she meant. When he heard Hexi's words, he immediately thought that Hexi was afraid.

He had heard from his mother that his aunt was quite favored in the palace, and it seemed to be true.

Thinking of this, Erkang boldly looked up and saw Hexi, a beautiful girl, but he didn't know which palace she was from.

"Yes, that's what my aunt told me to do."

He Xi curled the corners of his mouth, it was time to tighten the string again.

Hexi called Saiwei and Saiguang to hold Erkang Ertai down, and then brought him to Qianlong.

I happened to meet Fu Kang'an.

Hexi complained to Qianlong as soon as she saw him, which frightened Erkang and Ertai so much that they were stunned.

"My dear father, they have ruined my roses beyond recognition."

Qianlong had never seen Hexi, who was usually good-tempered, so angry. He looked at the frightened Erkang Ertai with anger in his eyes.

He Xi still felt unsatisfied and insisted on adding fuel to the fire.

"Father Emperor, they said they were following the orders of Concubine Ling's mother. I wonder how Xi'er caught their eye again."

"Besides, there are many women in the harem, and these two people come in and out freely. My daughter is really..."

The more Qianlong listened, the angrier he became. Yes, Erkang Ertai is so bold!

Upon hearing this, Fukang'an glared at the two of them. He didn't expect that there would be such ignorant people.

He has been careful with his words and actions since he got older, but he never expected that there would be such a bold and reckless person.

The thought of offending the princess made Fu Kang'an dislike them even more.

At this time, the Fifth Prince asked for a meeting.

He Xi raised his eyebrows. Wow, now everyone is here?

The fifth prince Yongqi rushed over. He heard from the eunuchs in the Yanx Palace that Erkang and Ertai were in big trouble.

"See Huang Ama."

"Hmm." Qianlong was unhappy and said in a deep voice, "Yongqi, what are you doing here?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, I heard that Er Kang Er Tai offended the fifth sister."

"Oh? So what? Are you here to plead for mercy or to request severe punishment?"

"Father, Er Kang Ertai is my son's study partner. He is straightforward and sincere. There must be a misunderstanding."

Yongqi and Erkang Ertai have a good relationship, so naturally they don't want them to encounter such a hardship.

"Fifth brother, do you mean that if they are straightforward, they can wander around the harem as they please? Being sincere means picking all my roses without asking why?"

"Or in the eyes of Fifth Brother, the safety of the women in the harem is not worth mentioning?"

The more Qianlong listened, the angrier he became. Since when did his harem begin to move around as freely as if it were his back garden? This was totally unruly.

"How dare you! Yaolin, pass on my decree, Lingpin is demoted to a noble lady, her title is revoked, and Erkang and Ertai are sent back home and dismissed from their posts."

"In addition, the scholar from Fuzhou University was not good at educating his children. He was fined one year's salary and confined to reflect on his mistakes to serve as a warning to others."

"Hmm--" Yao Lin quickly picked up one of the brothers in each hand and took them out before they had the chance to protest.

Yongqi wanted to plead for mercy, but he could not resist Yaolin's agility. With Qianlong also beside him, he could only watch his brother suffer in frustration.

"Why is my sister so aggressive?!"

"Hehe, it seems that in Fifth Brother's heart, my sister's innocence and safety are not worth mentioning. Instead, he treats those slaves as brothers." He Xi retorted bluntly.

Although the Fifth Prince is still young, he has already begun to show the characteristics of barbecued pork, so He Xi attacks him mercilessly.

The more Qianlong listened, the angrier his face became. What a shame! His eldest son, a dignified prince, was actually so friendly and respectful to the bannermen and servants, and he ignored the innocence of his sisters.

He is really his great son!
