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

I originally thought that based on Jinping's personality, he would not agree. However, I did not expect that when he heard that Gongsun Wen was willing to accept him as a student, he was so happy that he almost lost his mind. He walked with the wind and almost floated up.

After Zhao Zhenyuan returned home, he learned that Gongsun Wen had come to his house in person and was willing to be Jinping's teacher. He was so excited as if he had taken stimulants. He kept rubbing his hands and spinning in circles. His expression was as if he had won a super prize and was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

The father and son behaved in surprisingly consistent manner.

Jinping could not wait even a moment, so he packed up his things that night, took a large pile of articles he had written, filled a carriage with them, and went to the Taifu Mansion, no, now called the Mingwang Mansion.

Yi Ping looked at Jin's hurriedly leaving back and couldn't help but say with some worry: "Look at how stupid big brother is, will he get into trouble if he goes to Prince Ming's Palace?"

I was reading a book, and after turning a page, I said, "What kind of trouble can we get into? It's not like we haven't lived in the Ming Palace before."

Yi Ping thought about it and it made sense. We have lived in Prince Ming's Palace for a long time, so if anything was going to happen it would have happened a long time ago.

The next day, I sent people to the Prince Ming's Palace to inquire about the news.

The person who went to inquire came back and said that the prince was safe with the tutor and that we didn't need to worry.

That's it?

It was hard for Yiping and I to be so worried that we couldn't sleep the whole night. This kid really treated the Prince Ming's Mansion as his own home. It seems that my worries were unnecessary.

Yi Ping went out to inspect the shops. I felt a little bored and was just thinking of taking a walk in the flower garden when He Wan'er and Zheng Xi came to my house.

I looked at He Wan'er in casual clothes and couldn't help but be a little dazed. This Empress Dowager is really too low-key.

He Wan'er only brought a few guards with her, not even the palace maids or eunuchs. When she saw me, her eyes were red with joy.

I looked at He Wan'er, who looked a little haggard, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "We haven't seen each other for just over a month, why have you become like this?"

He Wan'er pulled me to sit down, sighed, and said, "Life in the palace is not easy nowadays."

My eyes darkened and I asked, "You are the Empress Dowager, who dares to bully you?"

He Wan'er said, "Since Concubine Li and Concubine Ying were promoted to Imperial Concubines, I handed over the Phoenix Seal and left the harem to them. Who knew that Concubine Li was such an unruly person, and she was so proud of her majesty's favor that she made the harem restless. In just over a month, she has suppressed so many people. I just scolded her a few words, but she actually ordered the imperial kitchen to send some cold rice and cold dishes to my palace every day, and she also said bad things about me in front of His Majesty all day long. His Majesty also believed her lies, not only did he not uphold justice for me, but also asked me to be more obedient, and said that if I continued to make the harem restless, I would be sent to the imperial mausoleum to accompany the late emperor. Do you think this is human talk? It is clearly that Imperial Concubine Li who is causing trouble, but she put the blame on me."

I was furious. I've only been the master for a few days? And you want to cause trouble so soon?

I was just thinking about how to deal with that Imperial Concubine Li when Zheng Xi ran in from the door, threw himself into my arms, and shouted, "Mother, Xiaojiu misses you."

My heart melted when Zheng Xi called me "Mother Empress". I held up Zheng Xi's face and was about to speak, but I saw that there were several bruises on her face!

I was shocked, gently stroked the wound on Zheng Xi's face, and asked loudly: "Who hit you?"

Zheng Xi glanced at He Wan'er, then whispered, "Guo Yingcai hit him."

"Who is Guo Yingcai?" I asked puzzledly.

He Wan'er said quietly, "He is Concubine Li's biological brother. He and Xiao Jiu are in the same class at the Imperial College. Ever since Concubine Li was favored by the emperor, that kid surnamed Guo has been bullying Xiao Jiu all day long."

I stood up suddenly and said angrily, "Ninth Brother is His Highness, how could he have the guts to hit him?"

Zheng Xi looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "My mother, Guo Yingcai's uncle is the director of the Imperial College. Guo Yingcai beat me, but Director Guo didn't beat him or punish him. He scolded me and said I shouldn't have provoked him. But I really didn't provoke him. He tore up my books and asked me to get into his crotch. I refused, so he and other students beat me."

After Zheng Xi finished speaking, he could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

I was so angry that I clenched my fists and made a "crackling" sound. I gritted my teeth and said to He Wan'er, "You are too patient. Brother Jiu was beaten like this before you came to me."

He Wan'er took out her handkerchief and gently wiped her eyes, saying, "Isn't it inconvenient for me to leave the palace? Today I saw Your Majesty accompanying Concubine Li to the Huangjue Temple to burn incense, so I sneaked out of the palace to look for you."

I held Zheng Xi's hand and said coldly, "Let's go to the Imperial College and find a place for you."

When Zheng Xi heard that he was going to the Imperial College, he trembled with fear and said, "My mother, I won't go. They will beat me."

I lowered my head and looked at Zheng Xi, saying word by word: "You are the Ninth Prince, they are just subjects, they should all grovel at your feet, but now they are rebelling against the Tian Gang and bullying you, you are a man, you should fight back hard."

Zheng Xi said tearfully, "I can't beat them. They have more people. And the teacher won't let me bring guards in. No one will help me."

I straightened my chest and said, "I'll help you. Now I'll take you to kill those bastards."

Zheng Xi was intimidated by my aura and didn't seem so scared anymore, so he held my hand tightly and said, "Then your mother must protect me."

I hummed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get your place back."

Gongsun Wen sent twenty Black Feather Soldiers to protect me. If I take them all with me, plus the Ling brothers and Fuyao, even if the entire Imperial College is mobilized, they probably won’t be able to defeat us.

Our group went to the gate of the Imperial College in a mighty procession.

The gate of the Imperial College was guarded by imperial guards, and ordinary people could not easily enter.

I took out the jade token, and the imperial guards guarding the gate all knelt down when they saw it. I didn't wait for the order and led my men directly in. They didn't dare to stop me.

Zheng Xi is in the enlightenment class, which is full of children under the age of six.

Since there were many of us, Zheng Xi became bolder and took me to the front of the enlightenment class.

It was class time, and the teacher was sitting at the desk, shaking his head as he listened to the children reading aloud. When we barged in, the teacher was startled, looked at me unhappily and said, "Who are you? Why are you barging in during class?"

I ignored the teacher and asked Zheng Xi, "Which one is Guo Yingcai?"

Zheng Xi pointed to a chubby boy sitting in the first row, wearing a light green brocade robe and with two buns on his head, and said, "That's him."

Guo Yingcai is at least twice as big as Zheng Xi, no wonder Zheng Xi can't beat him.

I walked straight up to Guo Yingcai, grabbed the back of his collar, lifted him up, and then slapped him twice on the face.
