Chapter 222 4 obstacles
Seeing that Xinrong was finally interested, Ziwei knew that she was right to mention Xiaoyanzi.
She pretended to be distressed and smiled helplessly, "Sister also knows my identity. I have been troubled by Xiaoyanzi before. Not only Shufangzhai, but even the palace has been turned upside down by her."
Xinrong nodded silently, she had heard of it.
Seeing Xinrong nod, Ziwei thought she agreed with what she said, and she tried her best to complain about Xiaoyanzi's heroic deeds.
Xinrong was quite surprised to hear this. She was a very law-abiding person and she never thought that there would be such an unrestrained woman in the world.
I had heard about Xiaoyanzi’s heroic deeds before, but I didn’t expect that Ziwei, as her good sister, would think of Xiaoyanzi in this way.
When Xinrong heard that Xiaoyanzi was only pretending to be a princess because she was greedy for the wealth and glory in the palace, she was even more amazed: "It's amazing that you are willing to forgive her."
If what Princess Huanzhu said was true, Xinrong was speechless to her. She was too easy to talk to. No wonder someone could occupy her identity for so long.
Ziwei smiled sadly: "Sister is right, but I have always believed that harmony is the most valuable."
Xinrong nodded helplessly. Everyone has their own destiny, and she couldn't interfere with her choice.
"If you say so, Xiaoyanzi is with the Fifth Prince just for wealth and glory?" Xinrong felt confused. Wasn't it for the so-called love?
Ziwei nodded slightly, but she said, "Xiaoyanzi had a hard life in the past, so she won't give up the opportunity to have a good life."
"In fact, being a concubine with a leisurely life is more suitable for her." Xinrong felt that his pursuits were different from Xiaoyanzi's, so there shouldn't be any conflicts of interest.
"But she wants to monopolize the Fifth Prince. But don't worry, Sister. I didn't know you were such a good person before. Now that I've met you, I will definitely help persuade the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi."
Seeing Ziwei's innocent smile, Xinrong didn't know what he said that made her think that he was such a "good person". He could only say that it was not surprising that the girl in front of him had her identity stolen.
"Actually, there's no need. Our marriage is decided by the Emperor, and any struggle they make is only hurting themselves."
Xinrong didn't want to owe her any favors. Marrying the Fifth Prince was a foregone conclusion, and it was useless even if the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi disagreed.
Hearing this, Ziwei quickly changed her tone: "Yes, yes, it's just that as a friend, I also hope that you can live in harmony and happiness."
Since Ziwei said so, Xinrong didn't say anything more and could only let her go. At least she shouldn't do it under the banner of helping her.
"But how can I get out of the palace to see Xiaoyanzi?" Ziwei looked a little distressed.
Good guy, he's waiting for her here. Xinrong remained calm, with the same distress on her face: "Yeah, it seems difficult to leave the palace."
Seeing Xinrong had no solution, Ziwei secretly thought it was useless and smiled cheerfully: "It's okay, I can go and persuade Fifth Brother first. It's also time for me to pay my respects to Concubine Yu. I'll take my leave now."
This Princess Huanzhu kept talking about useless things, and Xinrong was tired of dealing with them. Seeing that she was finally leaving, Xinrong hurriedly stood up to see her off, otherwise she would really find an excuse to drive her away.
"Goodbye, sister. I'll come and play with you some other day."
Xinrong endured it again and again, but still politely reminded, "Princess Huanzhu, just call me Xinrong. I may be younger than you."
Hearing this, Ziwei laughed awkwardly twice, and the expression she tried so hard to maintain almost cracked. She smiled playfully: "It doesn't matter, you will be my sister-in-law sooner or later."
Hearing this, Xinrong smiled and waved her hands. She really didn't know whether this princess was really stupid or naive.
Ziwei returned to Yonghe Palace again. This time she was lucky because the Fifth Prince was there when she asked for an audience.
Now that Yongqi can't go out, Ziwei is willing to go out and comfort Xiaoyanzi for him, and Yongqi is very grateful.
But how to help Ziwei leave the palace became a big problem.
"Maybe you can ask Painter Lang for help. He has a token to leave the palace, and then you can pretend to be a eunuch." Ziwei was a princess after all, and since he was the fifth prince, Lang Shining didn't dare to refuse.
Before leaving, Ziwei said, "Fifth Prince, you and I both understand that Xiaoyanzi is incapable of managing the household affairs. It would be difficult for her to manage the household affairs for even a day, let alone a lifetime."
Unexpectedly, Ziwei also came to persuade him. Yongqi was a little shocked. "Do you really think so? But I can't let Xiaoyanzi down."
"You just need to love Xiaoyanzi well after you get married. Although you can't give her the position of legal wife, in your heart, Xiaoyanzi is your only wife."
"After all, Xiaoyanzi only cares about you. She doesn't care about these material things."
Ziwei left lightly after throwing the bomb. Yongqi pondered, "Don't you care about these external things..."
Unfortunately, Ziwei and Yongqi's calculations were wrong. Lang Shining was willing to help because of Benjamin.
Benjamin is already at sea, and he had a falling out with the Fifth Prince before leaving. How could Lang Shining possibly help Ziwei again?
Especially in this situation where it doesn't look like a good thing.
"Princess, even if you force me to death, I can do nothing. I dare not do anything that goes against the Emperor."
Ziwei said all the nice things he could, but Lang Shining just kept repeating the same thing like a piece of wood. Ziwei lost her patience and left angrily.
Jinsuo looked at her own princess who had been struggling for a whole day without any progress and felt a little anxious: "Princess, why don't you go and ask the emperor for help? He will agree to your leaving the palace."
"How can that be? Don't you think about why we are going out? How can we let the Emperor know?"
Hearing Ziwei's scolding, Jinsuo knew that the princess was in a bad mood and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Go find Empress Lingfei."
In the Yanx Palace, Concubine Ling did not expect that Ziwei, whom she had not seen for a long time, would suddenly come to her door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you do me a favor?" Ziwei knelt down sadly as soon as she entered the room.
During this period, she had completely fallen out of favor with the Fu family, and the Yanx Palace was deserted. She was also treated coldly. Now that Ziwei had something to ask for help from her, Concubine Ling was also a little angry.
"What are you saying, Princess Huanzhu? How can I, a concubine who has fallen from favor, help you?"
Listening to Concubine Ling's sarcastic remarks, Ziwei felt guilty and cried miserably.
"Your Majesty, Ziwei really has no other choice. Erkang needs me to go out. Before, when the Fifth Prince was here, I could go out and help his family, but the Fifth Prince is under house arrest now. I am really worried about them."
When Concubine Ling heard whether Ziwei wanted to leave the palace to ask her for help or for Erkang, her heart softened.
After all, this child is not doing this for his own selfish interests.
"But you've asked the wrong person. I'm no different from someone imprisoned in the cold palace now. I have no power in the palace anymore. I can't help you even if I want to."
Ziwei knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly: "My Queen, is there nothing you can do? I am really worried about them."
Concubine Ling sighed. It was just about letting Ziwei leave the palace, which was fine with her. However, Ziwei's coldness also made her feel disheartened.
Besides, the Fu family implicated her. If it weren't for the Fu family, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Concubine Ling didn't want to help.
