The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 166: No More Xiaoyanzi in the Forbidden City

She and Erkang haven't seen each other for a long time.

It was obvious that she missed Erkang so much when she was in the clan house, and she had a lot of things to say to him, but now that they met, they could only look at each other in silence.

Erkang saw Ziwei didn't move, so he took the initiative to speak: "Ziwei, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as beautiful as ever. I miss you so much."

Ziwei opened her mouth, but she couldn't say the words "I miss you".

After a moment, she smiled slightly and said, "I'll push you back to the room and take a rest."

On the way back to the room, the two looked at each other in silence. Erkang's full attention was now on Ziwei, so how could he not notice that Ziwei was different?

But he still had hope for Ziwei, because he knew that Ziwei could not accept the fact that he had an amputation for the time being.

After all, he himself couldn't accept it.

But he is still himself, he has not changed. Ziwei loves him as a person, and he is very convinced of this.

Moreover, if it was Ziwei who became disabled, Erkang could be sure that he would not abandon her, so he also believed in Ziwei.

Erkang looked at Ziwei and tried to find a topic to talk about. "I heard that Xiaoyanzi and Liu Qing and Liu Hong are going to hold a banquet. Logically, I should go and help out, but now I can't. I can only wait for the opening day to show my support."

After saying this, he smiled rather nonchalantly, as if he was very open-minded about it and could mention it without any hesitation.

When the Huibin Building was mentioned, Ziwei's expression softened a bit. "Really? Then I'll ask Yongqi when it opens. I should go and help out."

"From now on, this guest house can also serve as our base outside the palace, making it more convenient for us to meet."

Erkang was still fantasizing about slowly restoring his and Ziwei's close relationship to what it was before, but Ziwei was thinking that it would be difficult for her to leave the palace, and they probably wouldn't meet often.

Seeing Ziwei's absent-minded look, Erkang said tentatively: "Ertai is getting married soon. To be honest, although I hate him, I also envy him for being able to marry the woman of his dreams."

Ziwei's expression was unnatural for a moment, and she laughed dryly: "Yes, it's really enviable that lovers finally get married."

Seeing Ziwei like this, Erkang was a little disappointed. He pretended to be indifferent and smiled: "I can't do it in this life. It's good for you to be like this. I am in this state now. I can't delay you any longer."

Without waiting for Ziwei to speak, Erkang said to himself, "Originally, I wanted to let you leave the palace if everything went well, and when you come back, let your father ask for the title of Princess Gulun for you. It's a pity that it turned out like this. But now you are a princess, that's fine too. As long as you are fine, I will be relieved."

"The Emperor will definitely arrange a marriage for you in the future. Marry a good man. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."

She didn't expect Erkang to say this. This was his plan. Ziwei felt a little ashamed for a moment. He was so kind and always thought of her, but she judged him by her own standards. It really made her extremely ashamed.

Ziwei choked up and shook her head: "I won't marry anyone. My heart already belongs to you. Even if I can't marry you, I won't marry anyone else."

For a moment, Ziwei even thought that in order not to disappoint Erkang's deep love, it would be okay for her to never marry.

Erkang smiled bitterly, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? I can only feel at ease if I see you happy."

Ziwei couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying with her hands covering her mouth.

Why is their fate so bumpy? If everything had gone smoothly, she and Erkang should have been able to get married smoothly. How could it have come to this?

Ziwei is now torn between her conscience and her desires. She doesn't want to let down Erkang, whom she deeply loves and who also loves her, but she also doesn't want to marry Erkang, who has become a disabled person.

She knew that what she did was wrong, and she felt ashamed and conflicted.

Erkang saw that his goal had been achieved and stopped talking.

On the other side, Xiaoyanzi met Liu Qing and Liu Hong, whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Liu Qing, Liu Hong! I miss you so much!"

Xiaoyanzi walked forward and hugged the two of them very generously. It had been a long time since she last saw them, and she really missed them.

Yongqi smiled and walked forward, calmly separating Xiaoyanzi's hand from Liu Qing's shoulder. He said with a smile, "Now that Xiaoyanzi has been returned to you, isn't it time to start the business?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyanzi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are really amazing, you can even rent a shop in this area."

Liu Qing chuckled, "It's the money you gave us, so we're keeping it. We figured it wouldn't be a good idea to keep performing, so we decided to start a small business. At least this way, the kids in the compound can have a better life."

Several people were chatting and laughing. Yongqi was relieved to see that Xiaoyanzi was in good spirits. It seemed that he had underestimated Xiaoyanzi. She was a heartless person who could be happy anywhere.

After seeing Yongqi off, Liu Hong arranged a room for Xiaoyanzi.

"Xiaoyanzi, you should have some rest. I'll call you for dinner tonight."

Xiaoyanzi had a smile on her face, but when she was the only one left in the room, tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.

This room is the best room Liu Hong has prepared for her. After all, the conditions are better now, and they want to give Xiaoyanzi better conditions.

But in the eyes of Xiaoyanzi, it looked tattered.

Looking at the empty room in front of me, and then thinking about the Shufangzhai palace full of ornaments and luxurious decorations, it was not even as good as the inn where I stayed when I followed the emperor on his southern tour.

Xiaoyanzi couldn't accept the disparity for a moment. She sat down on the chair, feeling overwhelmed with sadness.

Now she had completely left the Forbidden City.

This was clearly the freedom she had always longed for, but now she just wanted to go back to that cage. She missed her Shufangzhai and the four talented men and four beauties, she missed her emperor, the four guards, and even the unpleasant Jingyan and the queen.

It’s all Jingyan’s fault. If she hadn’t forced herself to come out, the Emperor would definitely not have been willing to drive her away after he calmed down.

Thinking of the Emperor, he emphasized coldly over and over again: "Don't call me Emperor anymore."

Xiaoyanzi was extremely heartbroken. Why couldn't she be the emperor's daughter? It would be great if she was the emperor's biological daughter.

But God just wanted to play such a huge joke on her, letting her experience the full love of the most noble person and then letting her lose it.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi cried even louder. Liu Qing and Liu Hong heard Xiaoyanzi's crying and hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Xiaoyanzi, what's wrong with you? Are you being wronged?"

Xiaoyanzi was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, I just feel a little reluctant to leave the Emperor."

Hearing Xiaoyanzi say this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had been princesses, so how could they just let it go?

Liu Hong stepped forward and wiped away Xiaoyanzi's tears: "It's okay, it's okay, just think of it as a dream. When you wake up, you will still be the Xiaoyanzi in the compound, okay?"

"Oh no," Xiaoyanzi uttered two words silently. She felt wronged.

Xiaoyanzi buried herself in Liu Hong's arms and cried for a while, then she looked like nothing had happened again. Liu Qing and Liu Hong were relieved.

What they didn’t know was that Xiaoyanzi was no longer the same Xiaoyanzi as before.
