Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Qianlong asked word by word: "What did you say?"

Qianlong's tone was already very dangerous, but Xiaoyanzi still continued to speak stubbornly.

"Father Emperor, I am not your daughter. Ziwei is."

"I was shot by an arrow. When I woke up, you said I was a princess, the emperor's daughter. The emperor even fed me medicine personally. I was so touched and reluctant to leave. But now I want to return my father to Ziwei." Xiaoyanzi said sincerely.

Seeing this, Ziwei also stepped forward and said, "It's a long way from Jinan to the capital, but I made it through it because I really want to recognize my father."

"I was really sad when Xiaoyanzi was mistakenly identified, but I couldn't say anything because it was a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Your Majesty, I have remembered all the kindness you have shown me these days. Countless times, I have called you Emperor Father in my heart. I am also so envious of Hexi because she has your most ardent fatherly love." Ziwei said with tears in her eyes.

The two people fell to their knees, crying.

The Mongolian prince, who was almost out of the door, didn't know whether to leave or stay, so he made up his mind and slipped out quietly.

When I walked out of the door, I heard Qianlong transform into the Roaring Emperor. I was relieved that I ran fast.

As expected, Seya was right, Princess Huanzhu was a disaster.

I didn’t expect that there were so many big melons in the capital, and there were also stories about real and fake princesses.

Therefore, he politely declined when Qianlong proposed the idea. Now it seems that this princess is not an easy one to marry. If he is not careful and marries a fake one, it will be a laughing stock.

He Xi heard Seya mention this, and she couldn't remember whether this was in the original novel, but she knew that Xiaoyanzi was a fake princess.

Sooner or later this matter will be exposed, and then everyone will be embarrassed.

Although Seya was puzzled, she dissuaded her father out of her unconditional trust in Hexi.

The Mongolian prince also listened to the advice, and since he was not keen on remarrying, he refused.

Now it seems like a wise move.

The Mongolian prince was secretly rejoicing, while Emperor Qianlong was furious.

He felt like a fool, being fooled around.

"Wu Shulai! Get out!" Qianlong ordered, gritting his teeth.

Wu Shulai was as if he had been pardoned. He ran out in a hurry, closed the door considerately, and acted as a door god diligently.

Today, no matter who comes, it’s useless.

What a coincidence, another big boss has come... Wu Shulai turned pale when he saw him.

In the imperial study room.

Qianlong calmed down his anger a little, and the four people below knelt on the ground in unison.

"Father Emperor, please forgive me for calling you this countless times in my heart. I really want to know you as my father!"

"Then why didn't you tell me after entering the palace?" Qianlong tried to calm down.

"I can't! Father Emperor." Ziwei shook her head violently. "You have already announced Xiaoyanzi to the world. If I tell everyone, it will put Xiaoyanzi to death."

"What's more, Xiaoyanzi and I have become sworn sisters, how could I..."

"You also know that everyone knows it, but do you know that even if I know it now, it will not help." Qianlong rubbed his swollen eyebrows.

"Huang Ama!"

"I am not your royal father!" Qianlong was heartbroken. It was so ridiculous that the emperor's daughter was included in the bondservant population.

If he recognized Ziwei, he would be trampling on the reputation of the royal family.

So he could make any compensation to Ziwei except giving her a legitimate identity.

This possibility had been shattered since the day Ziwei was recruited into the Baoyi by the Fulun family and Concubine Ling.

Ziwei looked at Qianlong in disbelief. She had gone through so much hardship and traveled thousands of miles just to find her father.

However, Qianlong rejected it with one word.

***

The weather has changed recently and Qianlong's throat is not very good, so Hexi cooks a bowl of pear soup and sends it to him every day.

Qianlong was delighted to enjoy Hexi's filial piety, and especially loved to enjoy it in front of Fukang'an and Fuheng...

Today is no exception.

"Blessings to Princess Hexi." Wu Shulai put on a flattering smile, but it was more sincere.

Who in the entire harem didn't like Princess He Xi? She was everyone's favorite. Except for a few exceptions, she treated the servants with a gentle voice and never treated them harshly.

The Zichen Palace is also the first choice for new servants and maids entering the palace. They are not like those people who only call each other brothers verbally, but in fact, they are the servants who get into trouble and take the blame.

"Is the Emperor here?"

"Princess Hexi, Princess Huanzhu and the Fifth Prince are inside." Wu Shulai winked at Hexi.

He Xi understood immediately, it seemed that the time had come for things to happen.

But she didn't understand. How could she suddenly explode when everything was calm? She had already...

He Xi was certainly not considering Xiaoyanzi, it was just a matter of reputation for the royal family.

She didn't know that there was Concubine Ling, the "god of assist".

After knowing that Qianlong was furious, He Xi planned to go back home and had no intention of joining in the fun.

However, Qianlong noticed some movement outside. He was already furious and it seemed as if he had found an outlet to vent his anger.

"Who's outside?"

He Xi sighed. People without the aura of the protagonist can't even escape it when passing by.

Hexi walked in leisurely, and Qianlong's original anger dissipated a lot at once.

"It's He Xi."

"See Huang Ama."

"No need to be polite, it's cold outside, why don't you put on more clothes?"

Hexi bowed and walked towards Qianlong without looking away.

"It's okay. My daughter is just worried that the pear soup will get cold." He Xi seemed not to have seen the four members of Return of the Condor Heroes.

"You are so considerate." The restlessness in Qianlong's eyes and eyebrows has subsided a lot.

"This is..." He Xi looked at the four people who looked miserable in confusion.

"Hmph." Qianlong snorted coldly. There was no precedent for killing sons, otherwise Qianlong would really have the intention to kill him.

No emperor could accept being fooled, let alone the crime of deceiving the emperor which disrupted the royal bloodline, and the crime should be punished by death.

Qianlong looked at Yongqi, who was once his most proud person, with disappointment. Once upon a time, Yongqi was smart, studious, sensible and considerate, but how come his mind became more and more confused?

Then he looked at the dejected Xiaoyanzi. Seeing Qianlong lose his temper, Xiaoyanzi was also scared.

It was rare that I felt scared, fearing that my life might be in danger this time.

But He Xi knew that although there were big obstacles this time, they were like cockroaches that could not be killed...

As for the self-depraved Ziwei, Qianlong felt nothing at all. Xiaoyanzi exhausted all his guilt towards Xia Yuhe.

Now Ziwei's various behaviors that are not acceptable to the public will only make Qianlong blame Xia Yuhe for not educating his daughter well, even though he has never assumed the responsibilities of a father.

Although this matter involved a royal scandal, Qianlong had no intention of hiding it from Hexi.

"Humph, these audacious people actually disturbed the royal bloodline."

"Ah!" He Xi pretended to be surprised and looked at Xiaoyanzi and the others in amazement.

Ziwei felt extremely embarrassed. They were both daughters of the emperor, but one was high above her, judging her, while she was groveling below. The huge gap made her confused. Did she really do the right thing?

Why is my life becoming more humble and bleak?

Didn’t mother say that she would risk her life for love?
