Chapter 173 Not Even as Good as Xiaoyanzi
The emperor's tent was not far from Jing Yan and others, so he had noticed the situation here a long time ago.
He didn't take it seriously at first, until Ziwei said the word "illegitimate daughter", the emperor's scalp went numb.
Is it necessary for this child to emphasize in front of everyone that she is an illegitimate child?
Or does being an illegitimate daughter make her look good? Or does it make him look good?
The emperor silently glanced at everyone and saw that no one was making any big moves. He was just about to bring up a topic to liven things up, but Ziwei cried even louder.
Those who were crying thought someone had died, as if they didn't know.
The emperor just felt his head pounding.
Everyone around looked at Ziwei and whispered to each other.
Yongheng couldn't stand it anymore. If Ziwei were a man, he would definitely punch him.
"Are you going to leave or not? We didn't do anything to you. Who are you crying for?"
Ziwei didn't say anything, but glanced at Jingyan.
At this sight, Jingyan felt his scalp tingling, and Fu Lingan immediately stood up to block Jingyan.
Jingyan didn't understand why Ziwei suddenly came here. It was impossible that she really wanted to be friends with them.
She looked around and saw that everyone was sitting together happily. She guessed Ziwei's predicament at the moment, but she still couldn't understand Ziwei's behavior.
After all, Jingyan is a normal person after all.
"Ziwei, I don't know why you suddenly came here. After all, we should all tacitly agree that we should keep our distance from each other. But you cried so miserably, I guess you wanted everyone to think that we bullied you, right?"
Hearing this, Ziwei was stunned and for a moment she even forgot to cry.
Seeing this, Jing Yan knew that he had guessed correctly. He stepped forward and continued, "You want everyone to think that we're isolating you because you're an illegitimate child? But have you ever thought about why you're so unpopular? Perhaps you should look for the reasons within yourself."
After listening to Jingyan, Seya stood up and said, "That's right, you keep saying you want to be friends with us, but after just a few words you start crying and accusing us. If this happened in Mongolia, I will show you my methods."
After saying that, Seya took out a whip at some point and swung it heavily at Ziwei's feet.
After all, in front of the emperor and ministers, Seya was much more restrained.
Fearing that Seya would act impulsively, Qing'er stood up and pulled her behind her. She stood next to Jingyan and said, "Ziwei, have you ever considered that your motives for approaching everyone from the very beginning were not pure? How can we become friends like this?"
Ziwei was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Is the purpose impure?
She only knows to do what is needed and work towards whatever goal needs to be achieved. How can her purpose be impure?
Ziwei felt that Qing'er's words were completely different from what she had always thought, but she didn't want to admit that Qing'er was right.
Everything is just their pretense. If it weren't for the interests, how could they be around Jing Yan?
Didn't Benjamin and Ertai try to curry favor with Jingyan for their own selfish interests?
Everyone is just doing it for profit, and it sounds nice.
Ziwei thought of this and turned to walk towards the emperor. She was so pitiful, the emperor would definitely scold them severely and then comfort her.
Yongheng saw that she was about to go to the emperor and stopped her: "What? Do you still want to complain?"
Jingyan stepped forward and held Yongheng: "Brother, let her go."
Fu Ling'an had already noticed that the emperor had noticed the situation here. He thought that the emperor was not so stupid that he could be easily deceived.
Besides, Qi Keer, Fu Heng, Ji Xiaolan and others are still here.
"Yeah, leave her alone."
After Fu Ling'an finished speaking, he signaled to the emperor with his eyes.
Yongheng then snorted coldly: "You're such a snitch, no wonder no one wants to play with you."
After saying that, everyone stopped paying attention to Ziwei and let her go to complain.
Because of Ziwei's disturbance, the meat was overcooked.
Fortunately, when Fu Ling'an and Ertai were silent, they quietly picked out the meat for Jingyan and Seya.
The two of them gave some to Qing'er.
A group of people ate with gusto, but Yongheng was the only one drooling at the sight. "That's enough! Starve me to death if you dare!"
On the other side, the emperor couldn't wait for Ziwei to get close before he shouted angrily: "Ziwei, what are you doing all day long?"
Ziwei felt a little aggrieved and a little bit incredulous: "Emperor Father?"
She was clearly the one who was wronged. Could it be that the emperor was so biased?
The emperor now had a headache just looking at Ziwei. "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. I originally thought you were a well-behaved and polite girl, but it turns out you're not even as good as Xiaoyanzi."
When Ziwei heard that he was not as good as Xiaoyanzi, she sneered and could not believe that such words could be said by the emperor.
"Not as good as Xiaoyanzi? Father Emperor, that little scoundrel from the countryside turned the palace upside down. You've completely forgotten how angry you were at the time. Now you're saying I'm not as good as her?"
Ziwei felt like she had heard a huge joke. It was bad enough that she was not as favored as Jingyan, but now she was publicly said to be not as good as Xiaoyanzi. She even heard it from her royal father. Ziwei felt that she could not accept it at all.
Seeing Ziwei acting like a madman, the emperor frowned slightly and said, "Yes, Xiaoyanzi is a little naive, but she is not as petty as you."
Ziwei sneered. How could Xiaoyanzi not have her own little thoughts? How could you mistake her for a princess if she didn’t have any little thoughts?
But she didn't say this out loud. Ziwei knew very well that arguing any further would only make the emperor furious.
It was not her intention to offend the emperor. She was not the impulsive Xiaoyanzi.
In this case, Ziwei kowtowed and admitted her mistake: "What the emperor said is right, Ziwei knows that I was wrong, but Ziwei also wants to say one thing, I really just want to improve my relationship with the princess, there is no other intention."
The emperor looked at the face that looked very much like Xia Yuhe, with tears in her eyes looking at him, and couldn't bear to blame her too much.
Especially in front of all the ministers, he couldn't make things too awkward. He sighed and didn't understand how a good child could become like this.
"Forget it, aren't you close to Yongqi? Go find Yongqi."
After saying this, the emperor shouted to Yongqi, "Yongqi, come, take your dear sister away!"
Yongqi didn't want to go. He also felt that Ziwei was a bit embarrassing, and what the emperor said just now was indeed right. In Yongqi's eyes, Ziwei was inferior to Xiaoyanzi in everything except knowledge and talent.
Moreover, she actually said that Xiaoyanzi was a folk gangster. Yongqi was naturally a little angry. Aren't Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi sworn sisters? How could she say that about her?
But in front of the emperor, he didn't dare show any reluctance. He stood up and took Ziwei aside.
Concubine Yu looked at Ziwei and sighed. She didn't like the previous Princess Huanzhu, and she didn't like the current Princess Huanzhu either.
She likes sensible and steady women.
Looking at Yongqi, Concubine Yu sighed again. Why did her son always get involved with such despicable women?
Concubine Qing, who was familiar with Concubine Yu, tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Sister Concubine Yu, don't let irrelevant people affect your mood."
The others immediately followed with a smile: "Yeah, where were we just talking about? Let's continue."
Concubine Yu was satisfied to see that everyone treated Ziwei as nothing.
Everyone continued chatting as if the farce had never happened.
Only in other places would there be occasional fragmented discussions about this Princess Huan Zhu.
