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

Zheng Xian didn't say anything.

Silence means consent.

I hurried out and asked Yiping and Yingchun to bring the food and put it on the dining table in the main room.

Zheng Xian's face looked even worse after he beat the man.

I walked over and helped Zheng Xian to the dining table. I personally filled him a bowl of chicken soup, blew on it considerately, and said, "Okay, it shouldn't be too hot anymore. Have a sip of soup first."

Zheng Xian seemed to be very uncomfortable and kept frowning, but he still obediently picked up the spoon and slowly scooped up the soup to drink.

I looked at Zheng Xian's brows that couldn't relax, and asked in a low voice: "Do you have a headache? I have learned head massage, how about I give you a massage?"

Zheng Xian looked up at me, seemed to be hesitating, but finally said "um" and agreed.

I have indeed learned acupoint massage, which is a compulsory subject for every Chinese medicine doctor.

I walked over, gently rubbed Zheng Xian's temples, and said, "If the force is too strong, you must tell me."

Zheng Xian still said "hmm" softly.

I took the opportunity to untie Zheng Xian's hair bun. When I did that, Zheng Xian's body stiffened noticeably for a moment, but soon returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Zheng Xian was suspicious by nature, and it was not easy for ordinary people to get close to him. He allowed me to massage his head, and he probably struggled for a long time, but finally agreed. I knew that he didn't trust me, but believed in himself. Even if I wanted to harm him, he had enough power to make me live a life worse than death.

My cold fingertips gently stroked Zheng Xian's scalp, and I could clearly feel his whole body tremble.

My massage technique is not bad. I found the acupuncture points and gently pressed them, saying softly: "Don't be nervous, relax. The more nervous you are, the more tense your nerves will be, and the more painful your head will be."

Zheng Xian hummed softly and stopped drinking the soup. He stood straight and let me massage him.

Wei Yi was watching nervously from the side, but when he saw Zheng Xian's expression becoming more and more relaxed and his brows slowly relaxing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I pressed for about ten minutes, and Zheng slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and said, "I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."

I smiled and said, "I can not only do head massage, but also acupoint massage. If you are free, you can come to me and I will massage you. After the massage, your body and mind will feel relaxed."

Zheng Xian nodded with satisfaction.

After pressing for a while, Zheng Xian felt much more comfortable. The pain in his head was gone and the tense nerves all over his body were relaxed. Only then did I stop.

When I stopped, Wei Yi immediately took out a small comb from his sleeve, walked behind Zheng Xian and skillfully helped him tie his hair.

I looked at Wei Yi serving Zheng Xian wholeheartedly like a personal maid, and I couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Wei Yi is a martial arts expert and the chief steward of the palace, so everyone has to give him some face. However, he is just a servant in front of Zheng Xian. If Zheng Xian tells him to go left, he dare not go right. Even if he is told to cut his own throat, he will do it without saying a word. He is as loyal as Zheng Xian's shadow.

Zheng Xianming indulged me on the surface, but in fact, it was only for his own benefit. He was such a selfish person that he would easily abandon people who had no interest in him.

This is the experience I gained through hard work.

Now that I have cut off my luck with him, he must have noticed it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have staged this drama of beating an unfilial son today.

It's obvious that he's calling me to watch. If I continue to be so disobedient, I'll be the next one to be punished.

But I don't care. Besides my strong luck that can save my life, Zheng Yan's ability is not enough for him to firmly control the entire government. They need my luck to help Zheng Yan. Killing me will do them all harm and no good.

The beating of Gongsun Wen today was just to give me a warning, to remind me to remember my identity, do more and talk less, which will at least make me live a happier life.

I'm just a little stubborn, but I'm not a fool. How could I not see that Zheng Xian's intention was so obvious?

Since he wants me to be obedient, then I will just be obedient. It is not a difficult thing. Since being obedient can get me what I want, why not do it?

I saw that the chicken soup in front of Zheng Xian had gotten cold, so I quickly filled him another bowl.

Seeing that I was very knowledgeable, Zheng Xian picked up the chicken soup and drank it with satisfaction.

After drinking the chicken soup, my stomach felt warm and I felt much more comfortable.

Zheng Xian's dark face was obviously smiling more. He said to me, "Ah Man, are you scared today?"

I shook my head and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have contradicted Your Majesty."

I gave in, and Zheng Xian's attitude obviously changed a lot. He sighed and said, "Changguang is my right-hand man. Although he is not a good father, he is a very good minister. He has been guarding the border for many years, working hard and never complaining. There were several times when he almost lost his life, but he still defended the camp and never retreated. Such a minister is rare. I hope you understand that my kindness to him is not imaginary. All the glory is earned by his life. Ah Man, do you understand?"

I nodded quickly and said, "Of course I understand. He is a good subject to you, but to me, he is a very bad father. It's not that I don't recognize him, but he has long since disowned us. This family relationship was severed the moment Gui Lanting killed my grandmother. I also hope that Your Majesty understands this."

Zheng Xian......

Seeing that he couldn't convince me, Zheng Xian sighed and said, "I promised to be a witness for Yi Ping's recognition of his relationship, and I will never break my promise. When I ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day, I will ask Du Jiaguang to send out wedding invitations and hold this recognition banquet. Now that Changguang is not in Beijing, this recognition of relationship is still a bit unjustified. I am not afraid that Changguang will cause trouble for me after returning to Beijing, but without the father and brother drinking Yi Ping's toast at the recognition banquet, this ceremony will not be successful."

There are such strange etiquette rules. Shouldn't it be enough for both parties to agree? Why do they have to make it so complicated?

I thought about it and said, "That's easy. Wei Chang will tolerate it. Just let him pretend to be Yi Ping's father."

Zheng Xian didn't expect that the matter could be resolved with just a few words from me.

He thought that under the suppression of etiquette and rituals, I would give up the idea of ​​recognizing my relationship, but I would rather let others pretend to be Yi Ping's relative than give up this recognition. It can be seen that I hate Zhao Zhenyuan very much.

Zheng Xian had no choice but to say, "Since you have made up your mind, let's do it."

I bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you."

Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "Who is Ankang? Please call him in. I have something to ask you."

Only then did I understand the purpose of Zheng Xian's coming here. It turned out that he came for Ankang.

I think Zheng Yan has already told Zheng Xian about the similar things happening between Ankang and Zhou Min, otherwise Zheng Xian wouldn't have come here so impatiently.
