TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 268 Return of the Pearl Buddha 36

Xiaoyanzi, who was standing by, was unhappy when she heard that Ziwei was to be a palace maid. She felt guilty for taking over the identity of a good sister.

Now we want her to be a palace maid, how can this be possible?

Xiaoyanzi had seen with her own eyes what kind of life the palace maids lived in the palace, and she treated Caixia and Mingyue with the utmost kindness.

Even so, they could only live better in Shufangzhai.

She knew very well that in the eyes of these high-ranking nobles, palace maids were just slaves.

Xiaoyanzi had heard from Concubine Ling that she had suffered a lot of criticism because of her background as a palace maid.

Even if Ziwei regained her identity, everyone would still remember that this princess had once been a palace maid.

"No, I don't agree. Ziwei can't be a palace maid."

"You don't have to talk so much. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't care about anything in the future."

Xiaoyanzi held Ziwei's hand and looked at the opposite side fiercely. She felt more and more that these two people were brainless and were always so nagging.

Even though Yongqi kept explaining, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei no longer gave them any good looks.

Yongqi turned his head helplessly and looked out the window. Since arriving in Beijing, his relationship with Xiaoyanzi had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the sweetness they had experienced on the journey seemed to have never appeared again.

She was always so impatient when it came to Ziwei's affairs, and Yongqi felt a little frustrated.

Then what does his love mean? Is he the one who can be abandoned at any time?

How could the proud and arrogant Fifth Prince be willing to endure such humiliation? But when he thought of the emperor's love for Xiaoyanzi, he came to his senses.

Looking out the window at the increasingly familiar scene, I was thinking about my next plan.

Ziwei, who was standing by, lowered her eyes and stared at her covered hand, her eyes feeling a little hot.

Fortunately, she met Xiaoyanzi, and there are still people who care about her.

Outside the carriage, Jinsuo pursed his lips as he listened to the noise inside, then fell into deep thought as he looked at the wide road ahead.

How would others view a princess who had served others? I think they would look down on her.

Just like her, even after being freed from slavery, she was still different from them.

The moment Erkang appeared, especially after he confirmed his return to the palace, Jinsuo automatically returned to his previous position.

The days of supporting each other in that small courtyard seemed like a dream.

From now on, Ziwei will be a princess of the royal family, and Xiaoyanzi will at least be the sweetheart of the Fifth Prince. It is hard to say whether she is a concubine or a concubine, but it is different after all.

What about myself? Where should I go from now on?

At this time, the emperor and empress received the news and were waiting for them to return early, and Nan Chu was also invited out.

She was studying the little guy's system rewards when she was invited here by the emperor.

At this time, she was hugging Yan Ning and whispering to him.

"How do you like the toys I sent you yesterday?"

"I like it!" Yan Ning's eyes lit up and he looked at Nan Chu with admiration.

"Grandmother is amazing. The town is so realistic. My brother played with me for a long time. He even wanted to borrow it from me, but I refused."

Nan Chu hugged the meat ball in his arms tightly and shook it gently a few times.

"Okay, I won't give it to him. That's Yan Ning's toy."

"Talk to the Empress Dowager if there's anything you'd like to see improved."

Yan Ning frowned and carefully recalled the scene of yesterday. She had experienced both defending the city and attacking the city, and she had different ideas when she changed her identity.

"Grandmother, let me think about it~"

She tilted her face upwards obediently, her eyes no longer filled with the anxiety and sadness she had before.

The relationship between the empress and the emperor did not deteriorate. Living together in Kunning Palace, they shared little secrets, and the relationship between mother and daughter became better and better.

Having gained the favor of the Empress Dowager, Yan Ning felt very safe in this environment.

If the system hadn't jumped up from time to time, she would have suspected that the dream she had was fake.

Nan Chu gave Yan Ning a huge simulated town, which was half the size of a house and could be seen as a simulated natural disaster game.

Each house can be disassembled to adjust the losses and supplies in the city according to different modes such as floods, locusts, etc.

There is a thick stack of rules alone, but unfortunately they cannot read them because the palace servants next to them will make adjustments based on their decisions.

If you play well, the refugees outside the city will not attack the city, but there are too many things to consider and it is easy to forget.

The two half-grown children became angry after playing for a while.

If this had happened in the past, Yongqi would never have thought that the reduction in the amount of food and fodder would lead to a decline in officials' loyalty. He was dumbfounded the moment he saw the city gates opened.

Yan Ning obtained a treasure map by opening the granary to release grain. There were a large number of weapons hidden in the hidden cave, allowing her to take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

"Grandmother, can you plan a few more adventures? The weapons in the cave are not enough. There are a lot of supplies in the city, and it will take a long time to use them up."

Nan Chu was delighted, but he still pretended to be surprised and tapped the little girl's forehead.

"Why are you thinking of attacking the city? The hours in the hourglass are all numbered. You can definitely become a wealthy businessman and organize the people to rebuild next spring."

"Not only that, you can do whatever you want."

The script was perfected after multiple calculations by the system, and every option was taken into consideration. The rules were not just those they saw.

The palace servants who followed and served were all strengthened by the system, otherwise the human brain alone would not be able to memorize these rules.

"I don't want~"

Yan Ning shook his head vigorously. "This is such a waste of time. I can take it down and build it slowly."

"Imperial grandmother, please add one~"

Nan Chu asked maliciously: "Want weapons?"

"Yeah yeah~"

"What kind of weapon do you want?"

Yan Ning was a little confused. Isn't this just a setting? Could he really make it for himself?

"You've never seen a real siege engine, have you?"

Seeing her nod, Nan Chu continued to fool her, "It's okay, just think boldly, what kind of weapon do you think is the most powerful? Tell the Empress Dowager and I'll have someone add it to you later."

"I'll make sure you have fun."

Yan Ning responded thoughtfully, and Nan Chu smiled with satisfaction.

The good thing about the primary system is that it is designed to seduce the host and will work hard to fulfill the host's desires.

I am not afraid that you dare to think, I am just afraid that you have enough food and clothing and no desires.

Despite the energy limitations, the primary system is fully sufficient in such a small world.

Yan Ning had a strong execution ability and immediately jumped out of Nan Chu's arms to flip through the book.

Nan Chu pushed him back and said, "Don't worry, your father is still here. Let's go see Princess Huanzhu first."

"Okay then." Yan Ning pouted unhappily. She didn't have a good impression of Princess Huanzhu, and the palace maids who gossiped had some influence on her.

Nan Chu touched her nose affectionately, making her giggle.

She prayed silently in her heart that the little girl must be a good person and have enough pure energy so that she would be able to fight in the future.

Not long after, Yongqi came in with Xiaoyanzi.

"My son, I would like to send my regards to Emperor Ama."

"This humble lady pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."

After the ceremony, several people knelt nervously on the spot. As soon as Xiaoyanzi entered the room, she saw many people sitting in the room, including the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and Concubine Ling.

She was a little panicked for a moment. With so many people around, she wondered if she should proceed as planned.

Ziwei suppressed her excitement and glanced at the emperor, then quickly lowered her head. This was the father she had been waiting for for so long.

As for the others, she didn't notice them for the time being.

The emperor was not in the mood to pay attention to these things. He was already very angry.

But as soon as he saw Xiaoyanzi's wrapped arms, he became anxious and looked a little thinner. Only his eyes were still as smart as before.

He didn't have time to scold her for her audacity.

"Hurry up and get up. The imperial physician should come and take a look at Princess Huanzhu's injuries."

"How can you be so bold? Don't I love you enough? Is there anything you can't talk about? The Empress Dowager has already allowed the princes and princesses to leave the palace. You..."

The emperor's scolding gradually faded as Xiaoyanzi's eyes were filled with tears of grievance.

He turned to look at the imperial physician beside him and said, "Be gentle, don't hurt Princess."

"Yongqi has already written to me about your injury, Xiaoyanzi. It's one thing to have good intentions, but you also have to act within your means."

"You are my daughter. You must always put your own safety first."

"Father Emperor, you don't know, that child is so young, how can I just ignore him?"

"Okay, okay, I can't convince you. Wait until your injury is healed, and then I'll show you how I punish you."

The emperor didn't care. Xiaoyanzi's kindness just touched his heart. He liked Xiaoyanzi because of her straightforwardness and purity.

Ziwei, who was lowering her head, was becoming more and more horrified. Xiaoyanzi was right. The emperor was very good to her and cared about her very much.

With such a preference, it's no wonder that she was so crazy about wanting to cling to this warmth.

Thinking that this was her father, Ziwei smiled bitterly.

Will he still like me like this in the future? After such a ridiculous deception, will he really still have feelings for me?

Ziwei didn't know that she once again began to doubt the matter of recognizing her relatives.

Should I burst this bubble? But~do I really want to destroy this warmth?

She silently recited Xia Yuhe's name in her heart, hoping that her mother's spirit in heaven could give her guidance.

On the other side, the imperial physician, after diagnosis, said that the injury was not too serious, but it was delayed a lot of time due to the bumpy road, and the subsequent treatment might be a bit difficult.

Then he went back to the Imperial Hospital to prepare medicine and came back later to give acupuncture.

The emperor's eyes finally fell on Ziwei and Jinsuo.

"Are you Xiaoyanzi's sisters outside the palace?"

"Your Majesty, it is me."

The trembling in Ziwei's words did not attract the attention of others. It was normal for ordinary people to be afraid when they saw the emperor.

"Lift your head and let me see. How great must your charm be to make Xiaoyanzi abandon me as her father and wander around the world with you!"

"Emperor Father! It's none of their business..."

The emperor stopped Xiaoyanzi with a look and waved his hand to tell her to stay quiet.

He knew how important these two people were to Xiaoyanzi, and because he loved them, he wasn't really angry.

But this bland remark frightened Ziwei quite a bit.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault."

"Hahaha, look how scared you are. Am I that scary? Get up."

"Did you write the letter that Xiaoyanzi left behind?"

Ziwei nodded in confusion, and when she carefully opened her eyelids, she saw the emperor's face full of admiration.

"I remember that it was written in a very good hand, not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Ziwei's eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly smiled and thanked him.

Seeing that eager and cautious smile, Xiaoyanzi felt a pang in her heart, and became more determined in her decision.

He knelt down immediately.

"Of course Ziwei's handwriting is good, Your Majesty. She is your biological daughter. Xia Yuhe is her mother, and the token also belongs to her."
