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

I picked up a piece of milk cake and put it in my mouth. It smelled delicious, but it tasted tasteless and a little dry, which made my throat choke.

Mingzhu saw me frowning and asked nervously, "Is it not delicious?"

I swallowed the milk cake with great effort and said honestly, "Your cake looks good, but the taste is just so-so. Yiping is good at making food. If you are interested in this, you can ask her to teach you."

Mingzhu looked unhappy after hearing this.

Yi Ping was shocked by what I said. She wanted the princess to learn how to cook from her? Was she asking for too long a life?

Yi Ping quickly said, "The food Yi Ping makes is also very ordinary. Princess, please don't listen to my second brother's nonsense."

As soon as Yi Ping finished speaking, Zheng Bang walked in from outside and shouted, "Who dares to say that the food Yi Ping cooks is mediocre? I will not let him off."

Mingzhu sneered and said, "How can you not forgive me?"

Although Zheng Bang was a little confused, he was not unable to recognize people.

Seeing that it was Mingzhu, the sister who often played pranks, did not follow common sense, and often chased him to feed him all kinds of dark dishes, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Zheng Bang shrank his neck and said, "Sister Huang, why are you here?"

Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Zheng Bang and said, "Why are you here? That's why I'm here."

Zheng Bang was shocked, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said loudly: "Do you also want to marry Sister Yiping?"

Mingzhu was so frightened by Zheng Bang's words that she staggered. She didn't quite believe the rumor that the Seventh Prince was stupid. Now it seems that he is more stupid than ordinary.

Mingzhu said unhappily, "Why marry me? I'm a woman."

Zheng Bang suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so you want to marry Sister Yiping."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I heard it.

Yi Ping blushed with shame and wished she could kick out Zheng Bang, the fool.

Mingzhu was really amused by Zheng Bang's silliness. She didn't want to pay any attention to this stupid brother. She leaned on the table and asked me, "Ah Man, do you have anything important to do today?"

I shook my head.

Mingzhu was very happy and said, "Since there is nothing important, let's go to the Imperial Garden together. I heard from the servants that my father specially decorated the Imperial Garden to welcome the New Year. It is so beautiful."

I said, "Although there is nothing important today, I plan to leave the palace."

Mingzhu asked in confusion: "What are you doing outside the palace?"

I said, "Chinese New Year is coming soon. I want to ask my brother where he is spending the New Year. I also want to go back to my house to see if my horse has returned."

Mingzhu sat down on the stool and said, "What's so good about a horse? I can give you any horse you want. You should accompany me to visit the Imperial Garden today. I have asked someone to clean the pavilion. We can enjoy the snow scenery and drink in the pavilion. It will be so pleasant."

I touched her head and said, "How old are you this year? You have already learned to drink. If your father finds out, he will break your legs."

Mingzhu rolled her eyes and said, "Men can drink, so why can't we women? Besides, I won't drink to the point of losing my temper and making a fool of myself. I know my limits."

I shook my head and said, "I can't accompany you to visit the Imperial Garden. I'm not in good health and can't catch a cold. I left the palace this time just to go back to my house to recuperate and don't want to care about what's happening outside."

As he was speaking, a eunuch outside came with a note and said in a sharp voice, "Second Master Zhao, Minister Du sent someone to give you a note, saying that he wants to invite you and Third Miss Zhao to the Du Mansion."

Du Feilong sent someone to deliver the post to us?

I quickly said, "Bring it in."

The eunuch came in and handed me the post respectfully.

I took it and opened it. It turned out that Mrs. Du missed Yiping and wanted me to go back to the Du Mansion with Yiping. In addition, it was close to the end of the year and most officials in the court had already taken holidays. Mrs. Du wanted to take us to live in the villa for a while and celebrate the New Year in the villa.

I handed the post to Yiping and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Yiping took it and started reading it. After finishing, he said to me seriously, "Wherever my second brother goes, Yiping will follow him."

When Zheng Bang heard this, he snatched the post and said as he read it, "No, you can't leave me behind. You are going to the Du Family Villa to celebrate the New Year, and I want to go with you."

Mingzhu slapped Zheng Bang on the head in anger and said, "Why are you joining in the fun? If you don't spend the New Year with your father in the palace, will your father break your legs?"

Zheng Bang touched his head and shouted, "You can't hit me. If you hit me again, I will tell my father."

Seeing the siblings quarreling, I rubbed my head and said to Yi Ping, "Brother will definitely not go to the Du Mansion Villa with Madam Du and the others. You know how stubborn brother is, otherwise he wouldn't even refuse to attend your family recognition banquet."

Yi Ping's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said, "Of course I know, that's why I said that wherever you are, I will be there, and you and I are one family."

Zheng Bang quickly shouted: "And me, you and I are also a family."

We were all shocked by Zheng Bang's words and looked outside the door guiltily, fearing that Zheng Xian would suddenly burst in.

I looked at Zheng Bang with a headache. I couldn't get rid of this guy. It was really frustrating.

Mingzhu sighed and said, "I actually want to be with you, but my mother is ill, so I have to stay in the palace to serve her. If you all leave, I will become like before, without anyone to talk to, and I will have to spend every day in loneliness and solitude."

Come to think of it, as a member of the royal family, there are many more rules than ordinary people. It is impossible to live the life you want.

If Zheng Bang had not relied on his stupidity and foolishness, Zheng Xian would not have let him run around. It seems that he turned a disaster into a blessing.

I comforted Mingzhu, "We are not leaving and will not come back. We will come back to visit you from time to time. I will give you the address of my house. You can come to my house to visit me when you are free."

Mingzhu's eyes lit up and she said, "You're right. I can come find you then. Come on, write me the address."

I quickly went to find paper, pen and ink, and said to Mingzhu, "You write it."

Mingzhu picked up the pen and said, "People say you are illiterate, but it turns out to be true."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Who said I can't read? I was just afraid that you wouldn't recognize the words I wrote."

Mingzhu handed me the pen in disbelief and said, "I have been well-read since childhood, and I believe that there is no word that is difficult for me. Please write it."

Seeing Mingzhu's confident look, I took the brush and started writing.

After I finished writing, I handed it to Mingzhu and said, "Take a look."

Mingzhu took the paper and looked at it for a long time. Her brows were almost wrinkled into a rope. She said with a puzzled look on her face: "Your handwriting is not sloppy, it can even be said to be elegant and dignified. These words obviously look very familiar, but why can't I read any of them?"
