The group had initially been indignant that he had taken advantage of their misfortune, but now that they had met each other's eyes, their dislike for him had greatly lessened.
At this moment, the fat man spoke up again: "By the way, since you're here, why don't you tell us, did those frogs croak on their own or were they just trying to flatter me?"
Zuan: "..."
I should have kept quiet and asked more questions.
The other eunuchs grinned smugly. "You little brat, huh? You'll be taking off your clothes and dancing with us soon enough."
Seeing that he remained silent and didn't answer, the fat man became somewhat dissatisfied: "I asked you a question, are you looking down on me if you don't answer?"
“Of course not,” Zuan glanced at the pond beside him, a confident smile playing on his lips. “These frogs are croaking to flatter you, of course.”
The fat man was overjoyed: "Haha, I knew it would be like that! Why don't you ask them to say a few more flattering words to me?"
The eunuchs nearby exchanged glances and almost burst out laughing. They wondered where this hothead had come from, insisting on diverting the prince's attention with his words. Now they wondered what he would do.
“Alright.” Zuan smiled and walked to the edge of the pond, as if talking to the frogs, “Fellow frogs, my friend here would like to hear you flatter him a bit. Give him some face and let him croak.”
The eunuchs around him all laughed. How could this guy be even dumber than the crown prince?
Of course, they only dared to think these words in their hearts, and no one dared to say them out loud, but they looked at Zu An as if he were an idiot.
The fat man seemed to have found a kindred spirit and rushed to his side: "You can talk to frogs?"
"I know a little bit," Zu An said with a modest smile.
Little Xu, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but say, "Master, don't be fooled by this kid. Who in this world can talk to a frog?"
Xiao He nodded in deep agreement: "That's right, Master..."
But before he could finish speaking, the croaking of frogs suddenly rang out from the pond. At first, it was sporadic, but soon the sound grew louder and louder, and even became a unified sound.
They stared in disbelief at the pond, where they found the lotus leaves teeming with all sorts of frogs, as if every frog in the pond had come out and was croaking in the direction of the prince. Their postures were so respectful, as if they were bowing to him.

A reader provided the role of Xu Kun, and another reader, "Going Home Alone," provided the role of He Te.
We need two extras, in order of appearance. Don't mind that they're eunuchs; at least they'll have plenty of screen time as they follow the Crown Prince (*^▽^*)
