The identity cards of the ancients were equivalent to our modern ID cards. The class division was very clear, and different classes were made of different materials. Identity cards like this one made of jade were only available to members of the royal family. If someone made one privately and was caught, he would be beheaded.

I never expected that Zheng Xian would give me his identity badge. This shows how much he thinks highly of me!

Thinking that he actually had a super credit card with unlimited overdraft, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic and forgot about Gui Lanting.

I said happily, "Even if I can't pass the entrance exam to the martial arts school, I can earn some money to open a medical clinic, and I won't starve to death in the future."

Gongsun Wen rolled his eyes unabashedly and said, "You should think more about how to lose weight so that you can prepare for the entrance exam to the Wuxue Hall in three months."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he looked at me with a half-smile and said, "Your Majesty believes the rumor. From tomorrow on, the Crown Prince will come to the Grand Tutor's Mansion every day at noon to have lunch with you, so that you can...

Gongsun Wen raised his head and glanced at the beams, then looked at me and said, "To enhance our relationship."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked away slowly.

I was confused and shouted, "Hey, don't leave! What kind of rumor is this? Why should I improve my relationship with the prince?"

Gongsun Wen waved his hand and left without looking back.

I stared blankly at Gongsun Wen's departing back, having a bad feeling in my heart. I wondered what trap Zheng Xian was setting for me again!

My eyes rolled around, my head still thinking about what Gongsun Wen said, and I accidentally glanced at the beam. There was a black shadow on the beam, which scared me and I screamed.

At this time, a masked man in black floated down from the beam, bowed to me and said, "I am Wei Chang, a secret guard sent by His Majesty to protect Miss Zhao. I didn't mean to show up, but I didn't expect to scare Miss Zhao. I hope Miss can forgive me!"

Secret guard?

Sent to protect me?

I didn't expect that Zheng Xian would even send a secret guard to me. That's very thoughtful of him.

Those secret guards in TV dramas are elusive and have great martial arts skills. Does that mean I don’t have to be afraid of Gui Lanting anymore?

Wei Chang saw my eyes rolling around, and seemed to know what I was thinking, and said slowly: "I am a secret guard, I can't take action openly, I can only protect you secretly."

What does it mean?

Before I could figure it out.

Wei Chang bowed to me again and said politely, "I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, the figure flashed and disappeared from sight.

As soon as Wei Chang disappeared, Yiping came in from the outside with a bowl of noodles. She trotted into the house, put the bowl on the circle with a bang, and kept blowing on her palms, shouting, "It's so hot, it's so hot."

I came back to my senses, looked at Yiping jumping up and down, and my mood suddenly improved. I smiled and said, "Why don't you use a tray to serve it? Dropping the bowl is a small matter, but scalding your hand is a big deal."

Yiping waved her hands, made a "huh" sound, and said, "I have thick skin and flesh, I won't get burned, I won't get burned."

After Yiping finished speaking, he picked up the noodles with chopsticks and blew on them, then said, "Can you eat while lying down? If you can, I'll feed you."

I have never tried to eat while lying down, but my injury is so serious that it hurts to move at all, and sitting up is almost impossible.

I had to say, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Why bother feeding me?" Yiping said, carefully picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it before putting it to my mouth.

Although the plain noodles were bland and unappetizing, they were fortunately cooked soft enough that I swallowed them with almost no effort.

Just as I was devouring the noodles in big mouthfuls, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the house: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Yiping was so scared that her hands shook and all the noodles spilled on my face.

Before Yiping could brush the noodles off my face, Zheng Yan strode in from the door.

Apart from Yiping, there are no servants or guards in my room. The person who delivered the message just now was probably Zheng Yan's follower.

Zheng Yan walked in so loudly. He didn't feel embarrassed, and I didn't feel anything wrong, but the noodles on my face were really a bit eye-catching.

He looked at me with disdain and said, "My father asked me to have lunch with a young master named Zhao at the Taifu Mansion starting tomorrow. I wanted to see which young master Zhao was so proud that he wanted the crown prince to come and have lunch with him. I didn't expect it to be you!"

Yiping finally managed to remove the noodles from my face, revealing my greasy face. I blinked and said, "Yes, it was me, the one who threw you to the ground."

When Zheng Yan heard this, his face immediately turned dark. He snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves, and walked away without looking back.

I never thought that Zheng Yan, who is usually gentle and polite, would be so angry at me. It's really rare.

Yiping stared blankly at the man who came and went like the wind, and asked in confusion: "Why does he look like he's angry?"

The soup got into my eyes, and I kept blinking my eyes in pain. I said, "Can you find a towel to help me wipe my face first? The soup got into my eyes."

When Yiping heard this, she quickly put down her chopsticks, took down the towel hanging on the bedside rack, and carefully wiped my face.

As he was wiping, Gongsun Wen's voice suddenly rang out from above his head: "You are the best person in the world who dares to make the prince so angry."

When Yiping heard Gongsun Wen's voice, he quickly dropped his towel and turned around to salute Gongsun Wen.

I held the towel covering my face with my teeth and threw it aside, saying angrily, "My dear little sister, can you consider my feelings? You either spilled soup on my face or covered my face with a towel. You can't do this even if you want to hurt me."

After hearing this, Yiping not only refused to admit her fault, but also rolled her eyes at me and said, "If you slander me again, I won't cook noodles for you."

Haha, you can talk back!

I was about to teach her a lesson when Gongsun Wen said slowly, "Although the Crown Prince is not a grudge holder, you have teased him time and again. Most people would retaliate, let alone the Crown Prince. You have made enemies everywhere, and you have not even spared the Crown Prince. You are really brave."

Seeing him shaking his head and speaking with a sarcastic look on his face, if it weren't for the bamboo stick in my hands, I would really want to slap him twice.

In fact, he didn't need to tell me that I knew I had offended so many people that I couldn't even count them all. But what could I do? I wasn't Zheng Xian, who could make those people shut up or disappear quietly.

I thought about it and said to Gongsun Wen, "Can I do you a small favor?"

Gongsun Wen said without even thinking: "No!"

I rolled my eyes in anger, but I suppressed my anger and said, "I have a jade pendant given by His Majesty."

Gongsun Wen clapped his pretentious paper fan on his hands, chuckled, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect Miss Zhao, oh, no, Master Zhao has become smarter and knows how to threaten people."
