When Wei Yi heard this, he was so scared that he pulled me to his knees and said in a trembling voice, "It is because of my poor teaching. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Wei Yi twisted my arm, and I cried out in pain.

My soft cry made Zheng Yan's expressionless face crack. He stared at me and then shook his head.

Wei Yi whispered, "Please apologize!"

I cleared my throat, and calmly imitated Wei Yi's tone, saying, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Zheng Yan, who had given up doubting, looked up suddenly when he heard what I said, and tried to recall. Then he looked at me again, but he fell into self-doubt again. He kept thinking that he was going crazy.

Su Yuanqing saw his son scratching his head and face, and couldn't help but frown and ask softly: "Why does the prince look like this? He is so flustered and unbecoming!"

Zheng Yan bowed and said, "Please forgive me, mother. I just remembered something and I am confused."

Zheng Xian, the instigator of the incident, looked at me with amusement, supported the Queen Mother and walked slowly while saying, "Mother, it is already autumn and the weather is getting colder. Do you have enough silver charcoal in the palace?"

"That's enough, that's enough, Your Majesty, are you still afraid that someone will mistreat me?" Empress Dowager Lu said with a smile, "Your Majesty should take care of your health. No matter how busy you are, you should eat well and rest well."

"I understand. Mother, you should also take care of your health. Only when you are in good health can I work with peace of mind." Zheng Xian said.

They chatted as they walked, their steps slower than those of ants.

I walked behind Zheng Xian with my back bent, feeling dizzy and my back ached from exhaustion, but I still had to hold back my anger. It was so frustrating.

I finally reached the dining room. The huge black nanmu dining table was already filled with food. The aroma wafted in and I couldn't help swallowing.

Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat down in order of seniority, and behind each person there were several people standing waiting to serve them.

Wei Yi pulled me to stand behind Zheng Xian and motioned me to help Zheng Xian wash his hands, add bowls and chopsticks, and add dishes.

Xiao Chunzi taught me all these, but I was clumsy. When I took the towel, I didn't expect it to be so hot. I screamed in shock at the heat and threw the towel away, almost hitting Su Yuanqing's face. The towel fell to the ground while wiping Su Yuanqing's face. Su Yuanqing's face turned black on the spot, but he held back his anger in front of the empress dowager and the emperor.

Then I added more tea and water. The teacup was thin and fragile, and I couldn't hold it up after the boiling hot tea went in. After trying hard, the teacup broke in front of Zheng Xian with a "bang"...

Zheng Xian looked at me in a panic with a smile in his eyes that grew deeper and deeper, until the teacup broke, then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Empress and the Queen Mother's faces had already turned black, and they were about to explode when the Emperor unexpectedly burst into laughter. They both wanted to explode but did not dare to, and the colors on their faces changed in all sorts of colors, which was very spectacular.

Wei Yi rushed to the rescue, quickly picking up the broken cups, and immediately asked someone to bring a new set of cups, and then quickly brought a new towel for Zheng Xian to wash his hands.

Wei Yi did this smoothly and efficiently.

I stood there awkwardly, cursing Zheng Xian countless times in my heart.

Zheng Yan kept looking at me secretly, which made him frown and shake his head from time to time. His expression was very interesting.

Zheng Xian washed his hands, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Pick up your chopsticks. We are a family, so don't be too reserved."

The Queen Mother and the Empress' expressions finally relaxed. They picked up their chopsticks and picked up the dishes that the palace maid had prepared in front of them. After taking a small bite, they waited for the palace maid to prepare the next dish.

I was tired just watching people eating like this. There was a huge table of food, but they only took one bite of each dish. What a waste. I kept complaining in my mind.

Seeing that the whole family was happily eating and chatting, no one noticed me, so I slowly walked back, trying to find a place that was as secluded as possible to hide so that no one would notice me.

Who knew that as soon as I took a step, Zheng Xian's voice rang out in front of me: "Little barbarian, come here and serve me some food."

Little barbarian?

Zheng Yan, who was eating with his head down, immediately raised his head and stared at me closely.

I had lost a lot of weight and my face had changed. Logically, Zheng Yan wouldn't have recognized me, but he still caught the hint of panic in my eyes.

Zheng Yan curled his lips, and immediately picked up a piece of fish and put it on the plate in a good mood, pushed it in front of Empress Dowager Lu, and said, "Grandmother, please try this fish. It is fresh and tender. It is delicious."

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll try it."

I walked carefully to Zheng Xian, bent down and waited for his instructions.

Zheng Xian was picking up fish, chicken, and vegetables, keeping me busy.

In contrast, the Empress Dowager and the Queen only ate one bite of each dish, or even did not eat it at all. The palace maids behind them had it much easier.

I don’t know how long they endured the agony, but they finally finished their meal.

After the meal, it was already dark. The Queen Mother was old and wanted to rest early, so everyone did not dare to stay for long and left after the meal.

After being tortured like this by Zheng Xian, I couldn’t straighten my waist anymore.

Fortunately, Wei Yi was with me and he just dragged me away.

Zheng Xian walked in front, the Queen and the Crown Prince walked behind, and Wei Yi dragged me behind the Crown Prince and the Queen.

After walking out of the gate, I saw the queen's phoenix had stopped at the door.

Su Yuanqing bowed to Zheng Xianfu, smiled without showing her teeth, and said very politely: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Zheng Xian reached out his hand and helped the queen up, saying, "I heard from Wei Yi that you went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see me a few days ago. I wonder what you are here for?"

Su Yuanqing sighed inaudibly and said, "I am worried about the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. There are too many noble ladies who have sent invitations to the palace to attend the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet this year. It is difficult for me to choose, so I want to ask your Majesty's opinion."

Zheng Xian laughed and said, "The Queen has really taken a lot of trouble. I am very satisfied with the chrysanthemum appreciation banquets organized by the Queen in previous years. I believe that the Queen is absolutely capable of balancing the relations between all parties."

Empress Su smiled and said with a hint of annoyance, "Your Majesty only knows how to praise me, but doesn't share my worries."

Zheng Xian laughed again, picked up the queen's hand and squeezed it tightly, saying: "I am so lucky to have such a virtuous queen. The queen has worked hard. Tomorrow I will send someone to bring more nourishing food to the queen. Please don't overwork yourself. I feel bad for you."

After hearing this "affectionate" dialogue, I inexplicably felt like vomiting.

I feel sorry for you, you big-headed ghost. There are three thousand beauties in the palace, and you are like a stud, flirting with all of them. You say the same love words to all of them. If you believe your words, the sun will rise from the west.

I rolled my eyes and complained, but Zheng Xian suddenly said loudly, "I remembered that there is something I haven't dealt with yet. Queen, please be careful on your way back. I will go to see you for a drink and chat another day."
