The Great Ming Demon Pill: Your Majesty, please address me as the Crown Prince!

Chapter 89 Zhu Zhanjun: Finally Appears!

Zhu Di looked around at everyone and saw that Zhu Zhanji was out of danger. His expression relaxed a little. Although he was still a little scared, tonight was the banquet held by the Crown Prince. If it was interrupted, it would not only spoil the fun, but also cause more gossip.

He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Since it was a false alarm, let the entertainment continue! Let's not spoil everyone's enjoyment."

Upon hearing this, everyone, though with different thoughts, bowed and agreed.

Upon seeing this, the performers on the boat in the middle of the lake quickly regrouped, and the gongs and drums sounded again, and the fireworks were relit. However, after this ordeal, there was a hint of reluctance in the lively atmosphere.

Zhu Zhanji was soaked and cold, his brocade robe clinging to his skin, his hair disheveled. He was still shaken from falling into the water and was now being publicly reprimanded by his grandfather, the Emperor. He felt a mixture of shame and indignation.

He forced a bow to Zhu Di and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandfather, my clothes are soaked and I am afraid I will lose my composure. Please allow me to take my leave and change my clothes."

Zhu Di glanced at him and waved his hand: "Go, change into clean clothes, don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Zhanji bowed his head in response and, supported by two eunuchs, walked unsteadily toward the palace.

His journey would take him past the gathering place of those noble daughters.

When they were rescued from drowning, these girls witnessed the whole thing from a short distance away. Now that they saw Zhu Zhanji approaching, they all took a half step back in unison, their eyes darting away, and their whispers, though low, pierced Zhu Zhanji's ears.

"Just now... they were blowing air into each other's mouths..."

"When Young Master Zhu kissed him, it seemed that His Highness the Eldest Grandson even... opened his eyes?"

"Oh dear, don't say it, it's embarrassing..."

"I've heard that method can save lives, but it's ultimately a matter between men... What if word gets out in the future..."

"..."

Zhu Zhanji paused, feeling a surge of heat rush to his head.

He gripped the soaked hem of his clothes tightly, his teeth grinding together.

These women, when they see him, are all shy and eager to please him.

It's all Zhu Zhanjun's fault!

If he hadn't deliberately used such a despicable method, how could he have been ridiculed?

Seeing him stop, the eunuch whispered a reminder: "Your Highness, it's time to change your clothes..."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly came to his senses and gritted his teeth.

"Walk."

Another half hour passed.

Two more members of the Ming imperial family "unfortunately" fell into the water.

Fortunately, this time preparations were made, and many guards were able to rescue the injured in time.

Zhu Di, however, felt that too many people had fallen into the water today, which spoiled the mood, so he simply ended the banquet.

Inside the Qianyuan Palace.

[Ding! Prism quest "Chemical Experiment: The Ming Dynasty Royal Family is Easily Soluble in Water" is complete!]

[Ding! You have obtained a Prismatic Treasure Chest*1!]

[Ding! Skill: Tai Chi (Beginner) upgraded to Prism Grade - Tai Chi Grandmaster (Transcendent)]

Zhu Zhanjun stroked his chin and nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad, not bad.

Sacrificing Zhu Zhanji's first kiss is a pretty generous reward!

......................

The next day.

Main hall.

Zhu Yi yawned.

Li Heng couldn't help but say.

"Yi-ge'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Didn't sleep well?"

Zhu Zhanjun chuckled.

"You ate the number one must-eat food in Nanjing last night, were you so excited you couldn't sleep all night?"

Zhu Yi: "..."

Li Heng, Zhu Zhanxi, Zhang Mao, Liu Zhong, Zheng Yu, and others immediately burst into strange laughter.

Zhu Yi immediately spoke with righteous indignation.

"Class monitor, although the eldest grandson of the emperor is good-looking, I am not into homosexuality."

"I just don't know why, but I feel sleepy as soon as I come to school."

Zhu Zhanjun smacked his lips.

"What's so strange about it?"

"Isn't that simple? Because the school is where dreams begin."

Zhu Yi: "..."

Li Heng, Zhang Mao, Liu Zhong, Zheng Yu, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

The class monitor is absolutely right.

Zhang Mao scratched his head.

"Squad leader, I was reading a book last night and there's a question that I've been thinking about a lot but I still can't figure it out."

Zhu Zhanjun coughed lightly.

"you say."

Zhang Mao asked in confusion.

"Why is a stepmother called 'stepmother' instead of 'stepmother'?"

Zhu Zhanjun nodded.

"Because calling her stepmother would be unfair to her stepfather."

Zhang Mao: "???"

Wow, that makes sense.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded.

Yang Rong stepped steadily into the main hall and saw the young men chatting and laughing around Zhu Zhanjun. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat.

The hall immediately fell silent, and the students returned to their seats.

Yang Rong glanced at everyone and slowly said, "The lecture is adjourned today. His Majesty has decreed that you all go to the Imperial Academy to listen to the lectures and observe the ceremony."

He paused, and seeing the puzzled looks on the boys' faces, he explained, "The Imperial Academy is a place where the best talents in the world gather. The doctors and assistant teachers in the academy are all highly learned."

"Although you are studying in the palace, you will eventually have to enter the Imperial Academy. Now go and get familiar with it, so that you can know how vast the world is and how many talents there are."

"Today I will lead the team to the Imperial Academy to listen to the lectures of the Doctor and exchange ideas with the students, so as to broaden their horizons and verify what they have learned."

The group exchanged bewildered glances and began to whisper amongst themselves.

"They're actually going to the Imperial College!"

My older cousin works at the Imperial College.

"I heard that the Imperial Academy is full of future officials for our Great Ming Dynasty."

"..."

Zhu Yi leaned against Zhu Zhanjun and whispered.

"Squad leader, this is our first time visiting the Imperial College, we can't make a fool of ourselves."

Zhang Mao couldn't help but say that as well.

"Squad leader, although we still have a few years before we can go to the Imperial Academy, shouldn't we make a name for ourselves now that we're there?"

Li Heng nodded in deep agreement.

"Squad leader, shouldn't we have code names?"

"Otherwise, how would those people at the Imperial Academy know us?"

Zhu Zhanjun glanced at them and said casually.

"How about we call ourselves TNT (Teens in Times)?"

Zheng Yu immediately slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed in admiration.

"Our class monitor is awesome! Don't underestimate these five words; each one is profound. From this day forward, we are the Teens in Times!"

Zhu Yi's expression was serious.

"I will debut as the boy band TNT!"

Zhu Zhanjun: "..."

Damn it, these bastards have become too abstract after hanging out with him for so long.

It's very difficult to earn treasure chests from them anymore.
