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

Hua Wushuang had no makeup on her face, only a jade hairpin in her hair, and a pair of ordinary gold earrings in her ears, but the skirt she wore was made of expensive brocade cloth. Looking at myself, I was only wearing a robe made of ordinary fine cotton cloth. In comparison, I looked a little dusty and shabby.

I shook Hua Wushuang's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister Hua, please stop laughing at me. Look at how horrible I look now. If I go out, it would be a blessing if I don't scare people to death, and I'd be stunning the world."

Hua Wushuang said seriously: "You are a little thin, and your clothes are not luxurious, but your facial features are too delicate. If you put on the red dress again, you will definitely be the most beautiful in the world."

Although I am usually as thick-skinned as a city wall, when I heard Hua Wushuang describe my appearance word for word in such a serious manner without any falsehood, I actually blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen strode towards us. Before they arrived, Zheng Yan's cheerful voice came over: "Who is the most beautiful in the world?"

Hua Wushuang was about to speak, but I winked at her. Hua Wushuang had no choice but to swallow her words and said vaguely: "The Crown Prince actually eavesdropped on us."

Zheng Yan laughed and said, "General Hua, long time no see."

Hua Wushuang saluted Zheng Yan, then clasped his fists towards Gongsun Wen and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is polite, and Lord Gongsun is polite."

Zheng Yan smiled and said, "General Hua, you don't have to be polite. My father has important matters to discuss with the ministers today, so he specially sent me to receive General Hua. I hope General Hua will forgive me."

Hua Wushuang smiled and said, "I came to Dayu to see my husband. King Dayu can go about his business and ignore me."

"Husband?!" Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen were both surprised and couldn't help but look at Hua Wushuang at the same time.

Hua Wushuang is an expert in Kung Fu and has led troops to the battlefield and fought in wars. She wields a red tasseled spear with great vigor and has killed countless people without blinking an eye. She is also carefree and heroic, without the shyness and affectation of a girl.

Hua Wushuang said openly: "Ah Man introduced General Du Changfeng to me and praised General Du to the highest level. Since Lord Gongsun refused to marry me, I came here to see what General Du is like. If he is suitable, I will marry him and not return to Southern Qin."

Hua Wushuang's frankness shocked everyone, especially Gongsun Wen, who was so embarrassed that he covered his face and coughed twice, then turned away, not daring to look at Hua Wushuang.

Zheng Yan laughed twice and said, "General Hua is really funny."

Hua Wushuang shook her head and said, "I'm not kidding. I'm 20 years old this year. If I don't get married, I'm afraid I won't be able to have children. So if I like General Du, I will marry him and take off my armor to be a wife."

Except for me, everyone around Zheng Yan would think several times before speaking, for fear that saying the wrong thing would bring about a fatal disaster. However, Hua Wushuang spoke even more bluntly than I did, which made Zheng Yan's brain freeze for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond.

I had no choice but to quickly take over the conversation and said, "Du Changfeng is also half my brother. If you marry him, you will be my sister-in-law in the future. We will be even closer, how wonderful!"

Hua Wushuang nodded and said, "You are right, but I still need to spend some time with him and observe his character before making a decision."

I feel a headache when I think of Du Changfeng's stubborn character. I don't know if Mrs. Du has mentioned to him that she wants to arrange a blind date for him. If Du Changfeng doesn't know that we have found a wife for him, given his character, he might just turn around and leave, so I have to think of a solution.

So I said, "Sister Hua, you just arrived in Dayu and haven't found a place to live yet? How about you stay at the Marshal's Mansion temporarily?"

Hua Wushuang is a foreigner and should normally live in the post station of Nanqin, but she has a good relationship with Zheng Xian. Every time she comes to Dayu, Zheng Xian will arrange for her to live in the palace. However, if Hua Wushuang lives in the palace, it will be too inconvenient for her to meet Du Changfeng. In order to bring Du Changfeng and Hua Wushuang together, Hua Wushuang must not be allowed to live in the palace.

Hua Wushuang looked at Zheng Yan hesitantly after hearing this. Seeing her like this, Zheng Xian really arranged a place for her to live in the palace. Before Zheng Yan spoke, I hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Sister Hua rarely comes to Dayu, I want to accompany Sister Hua."

Zheng Yan never refused my request, so he said, "Now that you are in good health, it is a good opportunity for you to return home. I will leave the care of General Hua in Dayu to Ah Man."

Seeing that Zheng Yan agreed, I happily shook Hua Wushuang's arm and said, "Sister Hua, wait for me for a while. I'll go change my clothes, pack my things, and then take you out of the palace to Wangyue Tower for dinner."

Gongsun Wen heard this and said sourly, "I invited you several times to go to Lishan to see the peach blossoms, but you always said you were not feeling well. Now you can run and jump."

When Gongsun Wen invited me to see the peach blossoms, I did feel unwell, but now when I think about being able to leave the palace, the excitement makes me forget a lot of the pain. God knows how uncomfortable it is for me to be trapped in this palace.

The Ninth Prince was temporarily entrusted to Zheng Yan, and I excitedly returned to the Taidian with Yingchun to pack my things. But as soon as I got back to the Taihe Hall, a eunuch came forward to announce that His Majesty had returned to the palace and asked me to go and see him.

Yingchun and I looked at each other, and Yingchun said hesitantly, "Second Young Master, I'm afraid we can't leave today."

Zheng Xian didn't come back early or late, but just came back when I wanted to leave the palace. I was so angry that I rolled my eyes.

Led by the eunuch, I walked into the imperial study and saw Zheng Xian sitting on the large dragon chair drinking hot soup.

When Zheng Xian saw me, he waved and said, "The imperial kitchen has sent over some fish soup. You should have some too."

I saw a white jade dish filled with a rich, milky fish soup, sprinkled with a few chopped green onions, and the fragrance was so fragrant that I couldn't help swallowing my saliva and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Hua has arrived in Dayu, and I want to take her to live in the Marshal's Mansion, so I won't drink the fish soup. I want to take her out of the palace now."

Zheng Xian glanced at Wei Yi, who understood immediately and quickly placed a bowl and chopsticks in front of me, saying, "A-Man, please sit down and drink your soup."

It has come to this, if I don't give you face, it would be disobeying your order.

I had no choice but to walk over and sit down, then serve myself a bowl of soup.

Zheng Xian picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a large piece of snow-white fish meat for me and put it on my plate. He said, "This fish is fresh and boneless. It melts in your mouth and is extremely fresh and fragrant. This is a fish unique to Beixiang State. I know you like to eat fish, so I specially asked someone to send it back from the distant Beixiang State by express horse. You should try it."

I took a bite and found it was very similar to the drunken fish at Wangyue Tower. I couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference between this fish and the drunken fish at Wangyue Tower?"
