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

It seems that my luck is really getting better, Master Hui Jing did not lie to me.

The Buddha statue followed me into the palace. Every day I worshiped it sincerely according to Master Hui Jing's instructions. Before going to bed, I also read the sutras that Hui Jing sent to me. At first, I read it haltingly and couldn't find the correct punctuation. Gradually, I read it better and better, and I almost memorized the whole book.

I couldn’t see whether there was any golden light coming out of the Buddha statue, but at least I wasn’t that unlucky.

Seeing that I was going to report my safety, Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "Then move the meal to Chang'an Palace. I want to have dinner with Ah Man."

I didn't care, as I thought it would be more lively if we all ate together. But Zheng Xian's words made the servants very busy.

A dozen eunuchs and palace maids, some serving dishes, some holding towels, and some serving tea, lined up in a row and trotted towards the long hall in small steps.

They had to prepare the meal before Zheng Xian arrived at Chang'an Palace.

It makes me tired just watching. The emperor can make a group of people die just by eating a meal.

But even though they complain, they dare not say it out loud.

Mr. Zheng Xian always showed his majesty and dominance in front of me intentionally or unintentionally. I knew that this was a suppression of me, making me surrender invisibly.

But my indifferent personality made me automatically ignore all of this, always thinking that it would be no big deal if I died, and I could go back home after that.

The more indifferent I was, the less Zheng Xian dared to do anything to me. Instead, he was a bit indulgent and allowed me to cause trouble everywhere. In the end, he would always come to help me clean it up.

When Zheng Xian and I returned to Chang'an Palace, before I even entered the door, I saw Yi Ping rushing towards me from the door.

Yiping hugged me and cried breathlessly.

I quickly patted her back and said, "Okay, it's okay, don't cry, His Majesty is here."

Wei Chang was also standing in the shadow under the eaves, watching me from afar. Only when he saw that I was fine did he turn around and go back into the house.

Yi Ping rubbed his head against my chest, then bowed to Zheng Xian, stepped aside with tears on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, I welcome you."

"No need to be so polite." Zheng Xian said, waved his robe, and walked into the yard.

A row of eunuchs and palace maids were waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Zheng Xian coming in, they immediately bowed and shouted, "Your Majesty, welcome."

Zheng Xian said nothing and strode into the house.

I raised my hand to brush away the messy hair on Yiping's forehead, then wiped her tears with my sleeve and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Yi Ping held my hand tightly and said, "Second sister, why don't we go back to Yongcheng? The people here are too scary."

Yi Ping felt disgusted when she thought of Zheng Hao's hand sliding across her face, like a slippery snake.

I know the fear in Yiping's heart. The twelve-year-old girl has already started to grow. She has completely inherited her mother's good genes. She is tall, thin, and graceful. Her delicate little face makes people feel pity. No wonder Zheng Hao, a pervert, has bad intentions when he sees her.

I patted her hands and said, "Third sister, if you are not strong, you will be bullied no matter where you go. In the capital, we have His Majesty to protect us. If we return to Yongcheng, we have no relatives or friends, and no money. We don't know what will happen to us in the end."

Yi Ping didn't say anything, so I continued, "I forced my elder brother to study because I hoped he would have a promising future and keep us safe. But the academy in Yongcheng is not as good as the one in Beijing, so if we go back together, my elder brother's future will be ruined."

Yiping looked up at me and said, "Second sister, I understand."

I thought about it and said, "You like to cook. I will ask His Majesty to find a shop for us to open a restaurant and let you be the proprietress. I will also find a job. Then the three of us will have our own careers, and our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."

Yi Ping asked worriedly, "Will people gossip about me as a woman who works as a boss?"

I smiled and said, "When you make a lot of money and live a prosperous life, who dares to gossip about you?"

Yi Ping thought about it and it made sense. He immediately smiled and said, "I will definitely do my best."

At this moment, Wei Yi hurried over and whispered, "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, and the food is almost cold. Little Ancestor, please follow me in quickly."

I took Yiping's hand and walked quickly into the house.

The small round table in the room was filled with things. Zheng Xian sat at the top seat, not knowing what he was thinking, with a wandering look in his eyes.

Wei Yi led us to the round table, and Zheng Xian withdrew his consciousness and said with a smile: "Sit down and eat, the food is getting cold."

I sat below Zheng Xian, Yi Ping sat next to me, and Wei Yi stood behind Zheng Xian serving the dishes.

There was also a palace maid standing behind Yiping and me, waiting to serve us.

As soon as Yiping and I sat down, hot towels were placed in our hands.

Yiping and I looked at each other, and we both wiped our hands silently. I wiped my face covered with sweat and mud before putting the towel down.

As a result, before I put the towel on the table, the palace maid behind me immediately came forward to take it away and replaced it with a hot towel for me.

I looked at Zheng Xian awkwardly, but Zheng Xian thought I was hungry and said with a smile, "Pick up your chopsticks."

All the dishes that Zheng Xian ate were picked up for him by Wei Yi using silver chopsticks. He only took one piece of each dish with his chopsticks. After Zheng Xian took a bite of a dish, Wei Yi would pick up the next dish for him.

Zheng Xian ate slowly and leisurely. The elegance and nobility engraved in his bones, like his kingly demeanor, could not be imitated by others.

There were people standing behind us, which made Yiping and I feel very uncomfortable while eating.

I just stretched out my chopsticks to pick up some food, and the maid behind me immediately said, "Please let me serve you the food."

After saying that, he actually picked up the dish I wanted with great accuracy. His movements were quick and his hit rate was high, as if he had the ability to read my mind. The food I was eating felt like chewing wax and was really hard to swallow.

Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and said to Zheng Xian, "Can you ask them to leave? I really can't eat if they keep doing this."

Zheng Xian slowly put down his chopsticks, and before he could say anything, Wei Yi's hot towel was handed to him.

Zheng Xian wiped his hands with a hot towel and said, "I thought Ah Man would yearn for a rich and luxurious life with people serving him, but now it seems that's not the case."

I rolled my eyes and said, "I have hands and feet, isn't it nice to eat by myself? I still need someone to pick up food for me and pass me a towel. I really can't stand it. Whoever wants such a luxurious life can get away with it."

Zheng Xian laughed loudly and waved his hand. Wei Yi was about to speak but stopped talking. Zheng Xian said, "Go down. As Ah Man said, I have hands and feet. Isn't it nice to eat by myself?"

Wei Yi quickly said: "This is against the rules..."

Zheng Xian's face turned serious and he said, "What are the rules?"

Wei Yi didn't dare to reply.

Zheng Xian said: "I am the rule!"

When Wei Yi heard this, he slapped her on the face and said, "I spoke too much. I know I was wrong."

After Wei Yi finished speaking, he said to the eunuchs and palace maids in the room, "Go down quickly. You don't need to serve me anymore."

"Yes, Chief Steward!" The palace maids and eunuchs saluted and retreated in an orderly manner.
