“She’s gone.
An Er, how do you feel about her?"
Speaking of this, An Er has something to say.
"Master, I am more or less certain that the soul of this Miss Wang is most likely Xiao Xi!
I have fought with Xiaoxi before, so I am somewhat familiar with her moves.
This Miss Wang just cooperated with her subordinates to fight a tiger. Both their moves and the degree of tacit understanding were very similar to Xiaoxi's.
Also, when Miss Wang saw me, her eyes didn't look like she was seeing a stranger, but rather like she was very familiar with me."
An Er paused after he finished speaking, "Master, if Miss Wang's soul is really Xiao Xi's, then Xiao Xi, a young man who has now become a girl, there is absolutely no way she would like the young master of the Zhao family.
Miss Wang keeps saying that she wants to cancel her engagement with the young master of the Zhao family, but why would she refuse your initiative to help her issue an order to cancel the engagement?
I really can’t understand this.”
Yin Huaixu twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Don't say you can't figure it out, I can't figure it out either.
But I am sure that she is absolutely ruthless towards Zhao Mu!"
He finally found her alive again, and this time, he would protect her no matter what!
If she really wants to marry another man, forget it!
This time, he won't let her go so politely!
There seemed to be huge waves surging in Yin Huaixu's deep eyes.
Ying Xixi, sitting in the carriage on the way back home, suddenly felt a chill on her back.
The next day.
The entrance to the Wang family's house was bustling with people watching, surrounding it in three layers.
Just because someone came from the palace!
The wealthy businessman Wang and his wife, as well as his legitimate daughter Ying Xixi and other concubines' daughters were all at the door, and standing opposite them was Eunuch Fu, the chief eunuch who served beside the current emperor.
"Miss Wang, you saved His Majesty's life. His Majesty is very grateful and has sent me here with a thank you gift.
These gifts of thanks are not enough to express my gratitude, I hope Miss Wang will accept them with a smile."
Eunuch Fu's smiling words caused an uproar among everyone present.
"Miss Wang saved His Majesty? She is His Majesty's savior!"
"With the life-saving grace, wouldn't the Wang family be able to climb up to His Majesty?!"
"The Wang family is truly blessed! For ordinary people, it's difficult to even see His Majesty, let alone save him."
........
Ying Xixi didn't listen carefully to everyone's discussion. Her eyes fell on the ten wooden boxes placed in front of several young eunuchs.
Ten wooden boxes...
If this were an ordinary family, the amount would be enough to be used as a dowry.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my honor to save you.
As a thank you gift, I will accept it."
Ying Xixi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Eunuch Fu smiled even more kindly and ordered the eunuchs to lift the wooden box.
"Please, Miss Wang, lead the way and have them deliver the wooden box to your yard."
Ying Xixi nodded, and went in first with Ah Xiang and the young eunuchs.
Before going in, she caught a glimpse of the rich businessman Wang's shrewd eyes rolling around, wondering what he was planning.
The young eunuchs carried the ten wooden boxes into the yard and left.
Ying Xixi called the servants from the mansion, and she and A Xiang watched them carry all the wooden boxes into the small storeroom in her yard.
After locking the door, Ying Xixi went to the door with Ah Xiang again. Eunuch Fu had already left with the young eunuchs.
Only then did she go back to the yard.
Ah Xiang held it in for a long time, then asked Ying Xixi in a low voice with surprise and joy.
"Miss, when did you save His Majesty?
"Would you like to see what your Majesty's thank-you gift is? It's easy to forget if it's locked away in a warehouse."
Ying Xixi took a sip of tea and said, "Now is not the time to look at the thank you gift. Yesterday, I saved Your Majesty at Kaiyuan Temple. I can be said to have saved Your Majesty from the jaws of death."
Ah Xiang's eyes widened when she heard this.
She was about to ask something when she heard loud footsteps at the door.
Mr. Wang rushed in.
"Xixi, you saved His Majesty, what's going on?"
Mr. Wang asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Father, yesterday I went to Kaiyuan Temple to burn incense and happened to meet the injured Majesty. There was no one around him at the time, so I took him back to the temple. That's all."
Ying Xixi said this half-truthfully and looked away.
The gleam in Wang Fushang's eyes was undisguised and truly eye-catching.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang narrowed his eyes.
"Xixi, you are now His Majesty's savior, and you can speak with authority in front of His Majesty.
The palace is currently holding a selection of concubines. So, you can go and participate, and think of a way to meet His Majesty and ask His Majesty to agree to let you enter the palace.
As for the Zhao family, I know you want to cancel the engagement, and I will go and tell them about it."
Ying Xixi: “???”
What kind of nonsense is Mr. Wang saying?
She is not beautiful, but she has beautiful thoughts.
"Father, are you overthinking it?
The entire capital now knows about my engagement with Zhao Mu, and His Majesty knows about it too.
Why do you think His Majesty is willing to let me, who is already engaged, into the palace?
If this is done, your Majesty's reputation will be damaged!"
Wang Fushang disagreed, "Xixi, you don't have to scare me. I know that you met His Majesty at the last Zhao family banquet.
His Majesty took the initiative to tell you that if you really wanted to cancel the engagement, His Majesty would help you issue an order to cancel it, but you refused.
Do you think His Majesty is really so kind?!
His Majesty is definitely interested in you! Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't say such a thing for no reason!
Now that you have become His Majesty's savior, it is easy for you to see His Majesty. If you find a chance to talk to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely let you into the palace!"
After saying that, Wang Fushang saw that Ying Xixi looked a little unhappy, so he continued to persuade her.
"Xixi, entering the palace is much better than marrying into the Zhao family!
We are originally a merchant family. It is already very difficult for us to marry into the Zhao family, let alone enter the palace as a concubine!
Now that we have such an opportunity, as long as you seize it, our Zhao family will be able to prosper in the future!
The future of the Zhao family depends on you!"
As Mr. Wang spoke, he became more and more excited.
Ying Xixi sneered, "Father, no matter what you say, it's all for you!
If my father really cared about me, he wouldn't say these things to me now!
But then again, my father has always been so selfish, I understand.
But father, I am making this clear today. I will not enter the palace, and my engagement with the Zhao family will continue.
If you are not happy or convinced, you can go to His Majesty and tell him these words yourself and see if His Majesty will pay attention to you."
This was the first time Ying Xixi refuted Wang Fushang and the first time she so bluntly exposed Wang Fushang's disguise.
Wang Fushang's pupils trembled, and his eyes glared, "You! You unfilial daughter!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I am an unfilial daughter. Doesn't father favor Wang Ruyi, the concubine, more?
Why not just let this filial daughter marry into the Zhao family, or even enter the palace?
Father has so many concubines, why not let them all enter the palace!"
