Under the collective gaze of three people who claimed to be the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, Zheshan Jun tried his best to keep his head held high and chest puffed out, trying not to appear too weak. No matter what, he was a member of the royal family sent by Goryeo to the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty. Others might scold and humiliate him in person, but they would not beat him up.
But even so, the sadness of being at the mercy of others lingered in his heart. Finally, he saw three people moving their feet together, surrounding him from three sides. With the corner of his eye, he saw the envoy next to him trying to step forward, but he raised his foot and then retracted it. It was obvious that he was timid and afraid of trouble. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
The second son of the late Crown Prince and the nephew of the current King, it is a tradition that royal children have no hope of power. Apart from his noble status, what else is there for a man like him that is worthy of the King's protection
However, just when Zheshanjun was full of self-pity, he suddenly heard a laugh: "You are so young, but you know your mistakes and can correct them. You dare to take responsibility for your actions. I underestimated you!"
When he said this, Zhu Er pretended not to see the middle-aged Korean envoy's expression of almost popping his eyes out. The fierce and ferocious look he had when he was threatening to punish the enemy disappeared without a trace, replaced by a kind and warm expression. He and Fatty Lu learned this skill of changing faces. Although he was not proficient in using it at this time, it was enough to bully an immature child in front of him.
While saying this, Zhu Er patted the man's shoulder affectionately, not realizing that this kind of gesture between relatives and friends was not suitable for strangers. After patting Zhe Shanjun's shoulder, he smiled and said, "Since you have the intention to write a letter to apologize, it shows that you can change. Well, how about you come with us to the palace to apologize in person?"
Zhu Er thought that it was not a good time to invite people out for fun, so he came up with a perfect excuse. When he said it, he couldn't help but praise himself for his wit.
Zheshanjun felt his mood fluctuate greatly, and he was completely confused. He had prepared for the worst, but he was suddenly praised for admitting his mistakes and being brave enough to take responsibility? And then he was dragged into the palace to apologize in person? He was a member of the Goryeo royal family, and had just arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He had to wait for the imperial edict before he could enter the palace... Besides, the palace was a place where one could just walk into it casually
Sure enough, when he was confused, he heard a dissenting voice from the side: "Second Brother Zhu, the Korean envoys have just arrived in the capital, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Guests probably haven't reported it yet. You are talking about entering the palace. Aren't you talking too much? The guards at the palace gate will not let you go."
After admonishing Zhu Er who was talking to himself, Ji Jiu smiled at Zhe Shan Jun in a friendly manner. But before he could continue, Zhang Da Kuatou snorted, "Brother Zhu Er is right. You finally know your mistakes and can correct them. You are a real man! I heard that you are going to the Imperial College in the future? If someone wants to bully you, just tell me my name. My reputation is still useful in the Imperial College!"
What the hell is going on here! Ji Jiu felt a headache coming on his head... None of them were reliable, no wonder the emperor personally asked him to come along. Otherwise, based on the behavior of Zhu Er and Zhang Dakua, the so-called test would probably turn into a disaster!
