After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Having said that, Li Qingshan looked at me again.

"But what? Tell me quickly!" Zheng Yan roared impatiently.

"It's, it's a character issue." Li Qingshan plucked up his courage and answered tremblingly.

"You mean, I'm incompetent and can't control a good horse, right?" Zheng Yan gritted his teeth.

Li Qingshan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly said, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Zheng Yan's face became even uglier.

I couldn't stand it any more, so I slapped Zheng Yan on the back of his head and said, "Why are you so fierce? What does this have to do with Lord Li? You can't ride better than me, but you blame others. Why don't you look for the reason from yourself?"

This slap from me stunned Zheng Yan and frightened Li Qingshan even more. His legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. Wei Chang seemed to have anticipated something and had already hidden away, so that we could not even see him.

Zheng Yan's guards were so scared that they were about to use their swords to chop me, but Zheng Yan quickly waved his hand and the guards retreated in panic.

After he beat me, I realized belatedly that this was the prince, not my good-for-nothing cheap elder brother, and I couldn't beat him casually!

I was panicking inside, so I pretended to be calm and hooked my arm around Zheng Yan's shoulders, saying flatteringly, "Since you like my horse so much, I'll let you ride it for a few laps to satisfy your craving. How about that? Isn't that brotherly?"

Zheng Yan seemed unaccustomed to this kind of intimacy and shook his body awkwardly, but he found that my hands were too firmly grasped and could not be shaken off.

Zheng Yan had never been close to anyone since he was a child. When he was young, he felt that this feeling was very strange. Instead of resisting it, he had an urge to get close to me.

He deliberately said with a cold face: "Who likes your horse? My blood-hard-earned horse was given to me by my father himself. There is only one like it in the whole of Dayu. How can your wild horse compare to it?"

"Yes, yes, you are right. It's getting late today, otherwise I would like to compete with you for a few laps. Will you come tomorrow?" I asked.

Zheng Yan thought for a moment and said, "The teacher had something to do today, so we had to let school go early. That's why I wanted to come to the horse training ground to run a few laps to relax. I'm not sure if the teacher will let school go early tomorrow. If not, I can't come."

I let go of his shoulders, gently hit his arm, and said, "Come over tomorrow when you're free, and we'll compete again. Anyway, your father wants me to come to the training ground every day to practice riding, so I'll definitely be there."

Zheng Yan looked at the muddy face with some confusion and asked, "Who are you? Why is my father protecting you so much?"

"I'm Zhao Man. Haven't you seen my token? Why are you still asking? Come on, I'm starving. Let's go have lunch. Let me tell you, the food my third sister cooks is delicious. I guarantee you will praise it after you have tasted it." Seeing Zheng Yan's inquiring look, I quickly changed the subject.

Zheng Yan was misled by me and said, "I had a lot of homework today and didn't have time to eat breakfast. Now I'm really hungry."

I said flatteringly, "If you have nothing to eat in the future, just come to me. Although my third sister can't cook any delicacies, she will provide you with enough home-cooked dishes."

"Thank you, but you haven't told me which palace you are from. How can I find you when the time comes?" Zheng Yan asked casually.

"I live in the Chang'an Palace in the Central Palace, but I will be training at the riding ground starting today. You can come to the riding ground to find me later. I will ask my third sister to pack more food." I said generously.

"The Chang'an Palace in the Central Palace?" Zheng Yan looked at him in confusion and said, "I never knew that there were people living in the Chang'an Palace in the Central Palace."

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "You talk too much. How can I lie to you when I say I live in the Central Palace? My token is not fake. You can check it in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and you will know whether what I said is true or not."

Zheng Yan thought for a moment and said, "You are right. The token cannot be faked. I will trust you this time. I am worried that I have no one to train with me. Now I will appoint you as my personal trainer. You will train with me exclusively."

As we were talking, why did the style of painting change again?

Royal horse trainer? Boy, have you eaten too many turnips and become too arrogant?

I said unhappily, "I don't want to be a royal trainer. I just think that we can improve faster if we train together. You like to control other people's freedom so much, I can't serve you, you should find someone else."

Zheng Yan snorted coldly and said, "How many of you have flattered me for a position without caring about your reputation? How dare you be so ungrateful? Be careful or I will frame you and take you to the Dali Temple, where you will live a life worse than death!"

"Haha, I'm so scared!" I made a face at Zheng Yan, turned around, and ran towards Yiping without looking back.

Zheng Yan was not angry at all after hearing this, and there was an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Yan chased after him and said, "Zhao Man, think about it carefully. You won't suffer any loss if you become my personal horse trainer. I will give you a monthly salary..."

He couldn’t continue talking because he discovered Zheng Bang hiding behind Yiping!

Zheng Yan looked at Zheng Bang in disbelief and asked, "Seventh brother, why are you here?"

Seeing that he could not escape, Zheng Bang quickly crawled out with a broken leg, knelt in front of Zheng Yan, lowered his head and said: "Greetings, Prince brother, I, I came to the horse training ground with my fifth brother, but he left without me."

Zheng Bang didn't dare to say that I knocked Zheng Hao unconscious. Zheng Hao was carried back by the guards.

When Zheng Yan heard the words "Fifth Brother", he couldn't help but frowned and asked coldly: "Why are you with Fifth Brother?"

When Zheng Bang heard this, he looked up and saw Zheng Yan's murderous eyes. He was so frightened that tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He said in a sobbing voice: "I know I was wrong. I will never be with my fifth brother again. Please don't kill me, Crown Prince."

Zheng Yan's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "When did I ever say I wanted to kill you? Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

Zheng Bang burst into tears and said, "People in the palace said so. They said my grandfather and grandmother and their entire family were killed by my father. I will be the next one."

Seeing Zheng Bang crying miserably, I quickly said, "Okay, stop crying. A real man sheds blood but not tears. Don't cry all the time. If His Majesty wanted to kill you, he would have killed you long ago. Why wait until now? You believe the gossips of those servants. You have to remember that you are the master and they are the servants. How can you be a master if you let the servants control you?"

Zheng Yan looked at me with appreciation, as if he agreed with what I said.

Zheng Bang looked up at me, then at Zheng Yan, and asked, "Brother Crown Prince, are you really not here to kill me today?"

Zheng Yan nodded and said, "No."
