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

Zheng Bang glanced at Yi Ping, his face turned even redder, and he slowly took out a jade pendant from his bag, handed it to Yi Ping flatteringly, and said, "Sister Yi Ping, this is a piece of warm jade, I give it to you to warm your body."

Yi Ping took the jade token suspiciously and asked, "Did you do something bad?"

Zheng Bang was unhappy when he heard this, and said with his neck stiff, "How could I do something bad?"

Yi Ping held up the jade tablet and said, "Then why did you give me a gift?"

Zheng Bang stamped his feet and said, "I just want to send you off, is that not possible?"

After Zheng Bang finished speaking, he turned around and ran away!

Yi Ping said strangely: "This jade pendant looks very valuable, but he actually gave it to me. Is he crazy?"

I tried hard to hold back my laughter and said, "Since it's given to you, just accept it. If someone gives you something, you should accept it happily. Don't put on a sour face, otherwise people won't give you anything in the future."

Yi Ping was a smart man, he understood everything immediately, he smiled and said: "Second brother, you are right, if you don't accept the gift, you are stupid."

After Yiping finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the food he brought for me, and quickly asked Panchun and the three maids to bring it over.

When I looked, I saw that Panchun and the other two were each carrying a large basket, which was filled to the brim with things almost overflowing.

As the baskets were opened one by one, waves of fragrance wafted into the air.

There are smoked chicken, smoked fish, eight-treasure duck, various pastries, and my favorite fried meatballs and pancakes. Just looking at them makes me drool.

Seeing that I was drooling, Yiping reached out and grabbed a fried meatball and stuffed it into my mouth, saying, "You look so greedy. I think it's still a little warm, so I'll give you one to satisfy your craving."

I closed my eyes in satisfaction and said as I chewed, "It smells so good. I'm dying to have a bite of this."

Before I could swallow a single fried meatball, Zheng Bang came running in again. He looked at the three baskets of food on the ground, picked up one basket in each hand, and ran away without even looking up.

Yi Ping hurriedly shouted: "Hey, Seventh Prince, this belongs to my second brother."

But Zheng Bang ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I looked down and saw that the boy had taken away my favorite basket of fried meatballs. I was so angry that I pointed at the door and my face turned red.

Yi Ping quickly comforted me, "Don't worry, second brother. I knew that the Seventh Prince would come to grab the food, so I hid fried meatballs under each basket to ensure that you can eat enough."

I was immediately happy and said with a smile: "My third sister is still the best."

Yi Ping looked at me, sighed softly, and said, "Second brother, why don't you come back with me? I can make delicious food for you every day. Besides, in this deep palace with high walls, how can you have the freedom you have at home?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I can't decide whether to leave the palace or not. If His Majesty won't let me go, I can't go anywhere."

Yi Ping thought about it and it made sense. Under the emperor's feet, he had no say in all matters.

Yiping stayed with me for most of the day and only left the palace after dinner.

With Yiping accompanying me in the palace, I felt much happier and even became more proactive in taking medicine.

Ever since I was injured, Zheng Xian seemed to be particularly busy, constantly summoning ministers to discuss matters in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the atmosphere was particularly tense.

Zhao Zhenyuan hadn't been seen for almost ten days, and there was no news from him. When I asked Yi Ping, he said he hadn't been home for a long time. Yi Ping was very busy now, not only had to take care of the shop, but also had to manage all the affairs of the mansion. Although Lu Chuan helped, he was still too busy, so he had to hire a housekeeper and let Lu Chuan take care of the shop. After all, Lu Chuan used to be a merchant and was very good at doing business.

More than a month later, it was the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony. Although my injury had healed, I didn't want to join in the fun, so I sent someone to give He Wan'er a generous gift. He Wan'er was not unhappy, but instead sent the Ninth Prince over, saying that it was already March, but the cold was still a bit severe, and she was afraid that the Ninth Prince would not be able to bear it and would get sick, so she asked me to take care of him for a day.

The Ninth Prince can walk now, and is very naughty and mischievous. He never sits still for a moment. When he arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he ran around everywhere, scaring the palace maids and eunuchs, who screamed in fear that they might break things and displease His Majesty.

Finally, I had no choice but to take him to the Imperial Garden to visit.

At the beginning of March, the snow in the Imperial Garden began to melt, tender buds appeared on the trees, and the ice in the lotus pond was slowly melting into water. According to the eunuch, it would be possible to release fish fry in a few days.

The Imperial Garden was very large, with many flowers, plants and trees. Although there were no recreational facilities, His Highness the Ninth Prince had a lot of fun playing in it. He climbed trees, dug snow off trees, and squatted on the ground to dig holes. He was surprisingly energetic.

Fortunately, there were several eunuchs and palace maids watching him, otherwise my body would have fallen apart.

While the Ninth Prince was having a blast in the Imperial Garden, I was sitting in the pavilion, drinking hot tea that Yingchun had brewed on a charcoal stove, eating snacks, and flipping through books brought from the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I felt so comfortable.

I was watching intently when suddenly I heard a soft voice calling out, "Ah Man."

I looked up and it was Hua Wushuang!

Hua Wushuang was wearing a white long skirt and white boots. The edge of the skirt was trimmed with a circle of white rabbit fur, making Hua Wushuang look even more charming and delicate.

When I saw Hua Wushuang, I was so happy that I almost jumped up. I quickly dropped the book in my hand, stood up, and walked quickly towards Hua Wushuang.

Seeing me walking so fast, Hua Wushuang quickly walked towards me, shouting as he walked, "Ah Man, walk slower. They said you were seriously injured. It would be bad if you walk so fast and get hurt again."

I rushed to Hua Wushuang, hugged her, and said happily: "My injury is no longer a problem. I'm so glad to see you. I've been waiting for your reply and I thought the letter was lost in the mail."

Hua Wushuang was a woman of high spirits. She laughed heartily a few times, then gently patted my shoulder and said, "I received your letter. To be honest, your proposal really scared me. I have been thinking about how to reply to you, but my mother told me that it would take at least a month to send a letter to Dayu. A month is enough time for you to go to Dayu. Besides, I am not young anymore. Why don't you go to Dayu in person to see the husband that Ah Man introduced to me? If he is suitable, I will marry him. If not, I can come back. I think what my mother said makes a lot of sense, so I came here in person."

I let go of Hua Wushuang's hand and said with a smile, "I'm glad to see you here."

Hua Wushuang laughed again and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. You have grown up a lot. You are so beautiful. If you wear a red dress, you will definitely stun the world."

I touched my face. I haven't looked in the mirror since I was injured. Most of the time I was lying in bed recovering. I didn't even tie my hair. Today, because I was going to bring the Ninth Prince to the Imperial Garden, I asked Yingchun to help me tie a simple bun. Hua Wushuang said that I would stun the world in red. If I wasn't familiar with her personality, I would really suspect that she was making fun of me.
