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

I bit my chopsticks and whispered, "Master Li Jin also said that I am a troublemaker. Wherever I go, trouble will happen."

Zheng Xian put down his hand and said, "Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that Nan Yi came to tell me about you today."

When I heard this, I got anxious. This Li Jin, I hadn't even reported him to Zheng Xian yet, but he was already reporting me first.

I stood up and said, "I just asked Li Jin to come to Changlu Academy to help investigate a case, but he came to you to complain about me."

"What Changlu Academy?" Zheng Xian looked at me blankly.

When I saw Zheng Xian’s expression, I knew it was bad. I was incriminating myself.

I sat down immediately and said with a smile: "Nothing, I was just talking casually. Hehehe..."

Zheng Xian obviously didn't believe it. He snorted coldly and said, "You got into trouble again?"

I quickly raised my hands and said, "I swear to God, absolutely not!"

"What's the matter with Changlu Academy?" Zheng Xian asked.

Seeing that Zheng Xian didn't seem to be angry, I had no choice but to tell him about the Changlu Academy.

After I finished speaking, Zheng Xian's clenched fists slowly loosened, and after a while he said, "Fortunately you didn't demolish Changlu Academy, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to explain to Master Lu."

I felt like I had discovered a new world, and asked quickly, "Your Majesty, do you know Master Lu?"

Zheng Xian glanced at me and said, "Master Lu was my childhood companion."

"Ah? No wonder Lord Gongsun sent my elder brother to Changlu Academy, this is the reason." I was surprised that Master Lu actually had such an identity.

Zheng Xian shook his head and said, "Zi Yan sent your elder brother to Changlu Academy not just because Master Lu was my companion. Master Lu loved reading since he was a child, but because of his talent, no matter how hard he tried, he could not make great achievements. So he wanted to become a disciple of Master Jiang, but was rejected by Master Jiang. The reason why Master Jiang rejected him was that only Zi Yan was his disciple. Although Master Lu did not become a disciple of Master Jiang, he also gave him some pointers, so Zi Yan treated Master Lu as his senior brother. It can be said that Master Lu is one of the people Zi Yan trusts the most."

I didn't expect that Gongsun Wen had put a lot of thought into finding a academy for Jinping. He owed him a big favor.

Seeing that I hadn't said anything for a long time, Zheng Xian couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about, Ah Man? Why are you thinking so deeply?"

I sighed and said, "When Lord Gongsun sent my elder brother to Changlu Academy, I was dissatisfied. I thought Changlu Academy was not well-known and was so shabby. I thought Lord Gongsun must have made a random excuse. I didn't expect that he had carefully selected the most suitable and most trusted academy for my elder brother. I was just judging others by my own standards."

Zheng Xian picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. After chewing it, he said, "Although Zi Yan is not good at speaking and is cold to others, as long as he promises something, he will definitely do it properly and beautifully."

I nodded and said, "Indeed, I misunderstood him."

At this moment, Zheng Yan strode in from outside.

Before the person arrived, a hearty voice came from outside: "Father, your son is here to see you."

Zheng Xian looked up at his tall and mighty son and said unhappily, "Are you here to see me, or to get a free meal?"

Zheng Yan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you really guessed it right. I have been having trouble eating and sleeping lately. I heard that Ah Man is staying with you, Your Majesty, so I came to eat with him."

I looked at Zheng Yan with a puzzled look, and after a long while I managed to utter a sentence: "Do you think you can eat just by looking at me?"

Zheng Yan sat down, and the palace maid behind him quickly filled his bowl with soup.

Zheng Yan drank the soup and said, "Of course, Ah Man eats delicious food, and I feel hungry just by looking at her."

I took big mouthfuls of the food, filling my mouth up and making it greasy.

Zheng Yan took a look at the way I ate, swallowed hard, and immediately picked up the bowl and said to Wei Yi, "Fill me a bowl of rice right away, and remember to fill it up."

Zheng Xian was a little annoyed, so he picked up his bowl and took a mouthful of rice, saying, "Prince, you must take care of your health. You have to eat on time even if you are busy."

Zheng Yan was also eating the food in big mouthfuls, his mouth full, so he could only make a few "hmm" sounds as a response to Zheng Xian's words.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

After dinner, Wei Yi brought a plate of shiny black grapes. Seeing these juicy grapes in the winter made my mouth water.

I took one and put it in my mouth. Oh my god, it’s sweet! It’s actually sweet!

It is not easy to eat delicious fruits in this era, and soon half a plate of grapes went into my stomach.

Seeing that I was eating happily, Zheng Yan couldn't help but snatch the remaining half plate of grapes.

Snatching food from someone's mouth is not what a gentleman does!

I reached out and grabbed it without hesitation.

Zheng Yan is taller than me and refused to give it to me, so of course I couldn't snatch it away.

Seeing that I was almost hanging on Zheng Yan, Zheng Xian said unhappily, "Okay, okay, if you like to eat them, just ask Xiao Weizi to wash another bunch. Why are you fighting for them?"

Zheng Yan threw the last one into his mouth and said proudly, "That's right, what are you fighting for?"

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "You stole it from me."

Zheng Yan put the empty plate on the table, sat down, and said, "I was too full tonight and didn't want to eat any grapes at all, but seeing you eating them so deliciously, I couldn't help but want to try them. Who knew I couldn't stop eating them after trying them."

Wei Yi quickly washed two plates and handed one to me and one to Zheng Yan. He smiled and said, "These are black grapes tributed by the Southern Qin Kingdom. The grapes are big, plump, sweet and juicy. Your Majesty is reluctant to eat them."

Zheng Xian snorted and said, "Little Wei, you are talking too much."

Wei Yi said quickly: "Yes, I spoke too much, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Zheng Xian waved his hand and Wei Yi retreated.

At this moment, a message came from outside the door: "Master Li is here!"

Zheng Yan put down the grapes and asked curiously, "Master Li? Which Master Li? Why are you here to see me at this time?"

As soon as Zheng Yan finished speaking, Li Qingshan appeared in front of him.

I didn't expect Li Qingshan to come in person. Thinking of the archery range that I destroyed, I couldn't help but shrink back and try to reduce my presence as much as possible.

Li Qingshan walked up to Zheng Xian, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Zheng Xian said, "Get up."

Zheng Yan said, "Master Li, please don't be polite."

Li Qingshan raised his head, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Qingshan stood up and walked aside, standing quietly and respectfully.

Zheng Xian glanced at me, then at Li Qingshan, and said, "I heard from Ah Man that the archery range was destroyed today. How did it happen? Tell me in detail."
