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

Chapter 296 I Just Want to Be Together for One Life

So I asked Zhang San to drive to the Taifu Mansion.

Gongsun Wen wanted to leave me behind, but I didn't want to do as he wished.

The carriage swayed and soon arrived at the Taifu Mansion, but the guard told me that Gongsun Wen had not been home for many days, and they didn't know whether Gongsun Wen was in the palace or somewhere else.

Gongsun Wen, like Zheng Bang, always likes to follow us, and he did stay at my house last night. It seems that I came to the wrong place, and this Gongsun Wen who doesn't like to go home is likely to have gone to my house again.

I thought about it and said to Zhang San, "Let's go to the palace and have a chat with the old emperor. Otherwise, if the evil Li Jin complains to me first, I will suffer a great loss."

Li Jin's position was not small, and Zhang San had to bow to him properly when he saw him. Now I was so treasonous as to call Li Jin by his name, and Zhang San gasped, but he couldn't disobey me, so he had to say tactfully: "Second Young Master, it's getting late, and curfew will soon be here. If you enter the palace now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight."

I said, "I can't leave the palace tonight, so I will stay here. When you go back, send Yi Ping to Du's house early tomorrow morning, then go find a few skilled embroiderers and take them to the academy to help make clothes for the children. Three days later, come to the palace gate to pick me up and go to the academy."

Zhang San heard this and said quickly, "Li Si and I are not with the Second Young Master, who will protect you?"

I smiled and said, "I'm in the palace, are you still afraid that I'll be harmed by someone?"

Zhang San nodded and said, "Not really, but the two of us were ordered to protect the Second Young Master. Now that we are not with him, it doesn't seem good."

I said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Just do as I say and come back to pick me up in three days. If Lord Li is too busy and insists on keeping Li Si there, then let him stay there. After all, I owe Lord Li a big favor, and he wants to eat me now."

Zhang San had no choice but to agree and drove the carriage towards the palace.

I got off the carriage in front of the palace gate, and with the jade token Zheng Yan gave me, I easily got a horse.

It was already dark, and the night watchman's shouts resounded throughout the palace: "The palace gates are about to close. Please return to your palaces as soon as possible and do not wander around the palace."

In the silent palace, the sound of my horse's hooves was particularly harsh.

The snow fog in the sky blurred my eyes, but fortunately there was a straight road from the palace gate to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so I would not go wrong even with a blindfold.

The patrolling imperial guards were very good at identifying the horses and carriages in the palace, so I arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony without any obstruction.

The guards in front of the palace all knew me, and no one stopped me from approaching the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Instead, after I dismounted, they quickly came forward to help me lead the horse.

I walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony excitedly, carrying an axe, a quiver, and a bow on my back, shouting as I walked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm here to see you."

At this time, a palace maid walked towards me quickly, bowed in front of me, and said, "Sir Zhao, His Majesty is having dinner in the imperial kitchen. Please move to the imperial kitchen."

So I carried my axe, quiver and bow and walked excitedly towards the imperial kitchen.

The imperial kitchen was as quiet as a dog. I walked in with a lot of noise, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Wei Yi was startled when he saw me, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Ah Man, what are you doing?"

When Zheng Xian saw me, he also widened his eyes and looked at the pile of things hanging on me in disbelief.

I ran excitedly to the huge ebony dining table and threw the axe, quiver and bow onto the table. I heard a few dull thuds and the ebony table seemed to sink.

I said to Zheng Xian happily, "Your Majesty, I got two powerful weapons, and I couldn't help but bring them to the palace to show you. Look at this axe, it's very heavy, and it feels special to swing it."

Wei Yi stood behind Zheng Xian calmly, looking as if he was afraid that I would suddenly attack him.

Zheng Xian looked at me strangely, then looked at the two weapons and asked, "Why did you enter the palace at this time?"

I sat down next to Zheng Xian and said, "I missed you, so I came to the palace to see you."

After hearing this, Zheng Xian's old face actually turned slightly red.

He coughed lightly and said, "It seems that Ah Man still cares about me. She actually still remembers me."

I took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, filled myself with a large bowl of fish soup, took a sip, and said, "The food in the palace is still the best. Your unfilial son actually came to my house and said that the food in the palace was too bad and insisted on staying at our place."

Zheng Xian frowned and said, "Did Xiao Qi come to you again?"

I nodded and picked up another piece of lamb chop. I took a bite and it was tender and juicy and tasted really good.

Zheng Xian watched me chewing the lamb chops until my mouth was full of oil. He couldn't help but pick up a wet towel and wiped my face, saying, "Why are you eating like a child? Your mouth is full of oil."

I said as I ate, "Don't wipe it yet. I haven't finished eating yet. If I wipe it, it will be dirty again."

Zheng Xian smiled and shook his head, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.

The way I ate with big mouthfuls immediately whetted Zheng Zhengxian's appetite. The food, which originally tasted like wax, instantly made him hungry, and he accidentally ate half a bowl of rice.

After the meal, Zheng Xian touched his round belly and said, "No wonder Xiao Qi always likes to follow you guys. It's really delicious to eat with you."

I held a plate of peeled apples and bit into them with a crunchy sound. Ancient apples were not grafted, so although they were pure and natural, they were a bit sour and not as delicious as pears.

I grimaced, slurped my saliva, and said, "Stop talking. Your unfilial son is still talking about marrying Yi Ping. I think we should quickly arrest him and lock him up in the palace to prevent him from harming my sister."

After hearing this, Zheng Xian couldn't help but look at Wei Yi, then asked in disbelief, "Did Xiao Qi say this herself?"

The apple was so sour that I couldn't stand it. I put the plate on the table and said, "Of course it's real. If you don't believe me, go ask him."

People in ancient times got married early, but they couldn't get married as early as nine years old.

Zheng Xian said with a headache: "Xiao Qi is a little unruly now, and I can't do anything about him."

I took my axe and stroked it gently, saying, "You can't control me, and I can't control him either. He sticks to my sister every day. How can my sister get married in the future?"

When Wei Yi saw me pick up the axe, he hurriedly stood beside Zheng Xian and looked at the axe in my hand nervously.

Zheng Xian thought for a moment and said, "If they are in love with each other, after your third sister and Qian are married, let them get married. What do you think?"

When I heard this, I was so frightened that the axe in my hand nearly fell to the ground. Could the prince's marriage be so hasty?

But then I thought about it, after the prince gets married he will go to his own fiefdom, where he can live in a world of two, and he won’t have to serve his parents-in-law, so this marriage seems to be quite cost-effective.
