This observation left even Jun Yao unsure whether the person was Jun Han or not. Seeing that the纨绔公子's actions were becoming increasingly outrageous, and even threatening to escalate into a fight, Jun Yao had to intervene regardless of whether the person was Jun Han or not.
He walked down from upstairs, and the once arrogant young master was so frightened that he took several steps back: "You, you, you are—!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Anzi said with a flourish, "If Old Master Cheng were to educate his son like this, he probably wouldn't need to work for our master anymore."
"I...I...Master, what brings you here?" Although Cheng Peng was a bit muddle-headed, he wasn't unaware of the gravity of the situation. He was startled upon seeing Jun Yao, but quickly changed his tune. His father, Cheng Mu, was a high-ranking official, and he had seen Emperor Jun Yao when he accompanied his father to the palace banquet. How could he not recognize him now that he was right in front of him? However, since the Emperor was dressed casually, he certainly hadn't alerted anyone in the palace, and he couldn't just blurt out his name.
Seeing that Cheng Peng was sensible, Jun Yao's anger subsided considerably.
"You should go back to your residence and tell your father about what happened today." He himself was the emperor, and there was no need for him to go beyond the role of the chieftain to educate his son.
"Yes, yes, yes," Cheng Peng replied repeatedly, then led his group of cronies away, their hearts pounding with fear.
Someone stopped Cheng Peng, displeased, and said, "Young Master Cheng, your father is the Minister of War, a favorite of the Emperor. What are you afraid of that kid for?"
The clever ones had already guessed the identity of the person who stepped in to stop them, after all, not everyone is worthy of being someone else's master.
As soon as Cheng Peng left, everyone's eyes fell on Jun Yao.
Lu Qingyan walked to Jun Yao's side and bowed gracefully: "Thank you, young master, for helping me out of that predicament."
Junyao patted the folding fan in his hand, smiled and bowed slightly: "The young lady of the Tian family is indeed as rumored, with a good appearance and good skills."
Junyao's eyes were fixed on the jar of wine behind Lu Qingyan as he spoke. These words, which sounded somewhat frivolous when spoken by others, sounded remarkably serious coming from his mouth.
Lu Qingyan smiled and handed two small jars to Xiao Anzi, who was standing next to Jun Yao: "These two jars of wine are a token of my gratitude to you, young master."
Junyao curled the corners of his lips, clenched his fist to his mouth, and coughed lightly: "The Tian family's wife is too infuriating. I have something to discuss with this brother. Is that alright?"
Seeing Jun Yao looking at Jun Han, Tian Dali asked, puzzled, "Does this young master know Brother Dazhu?"
Fortunately, Tian Dali and the others kept their heads down during the palace examination, so they couldn't see Jun Yao's face clearly. Otherwise, even if Cheng Peng hadn't said anything, Tian Dali would have recognized that the person in front of him was the current emperor.
But now, he only vaguely felt that the person's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Dazhu?" Junyao glanced at Junhan uncertainly, then suddenly realized, "So this brother is called Dazhu. I noticed that you look quite similar to an old friend of mine, and when I first saw you, I thought you were that old friend. I was being presumptuous."
Jun Han said shyly in a low voice, "I...I don't know you."
Tian Dali overheard Jun Han's mutterings clearly and said warily to Jun Yao, "My brother suffered a brain injury when he was young, and he's a bit childish."
"I see." It seems he really isn't General Jun anymore. A hint of disappointment flashed in Jun Yao's eyes.
There may be no military generals in the court now, but none can compare to Jun Han. He really left us too soon!
