Chapter 375: Hosting a Banquet is Tired

Princess Qingcheng of Longling Kingdom was stunned when she heard Master Ji's words. She swore she had never met such a tactless person in her life. Did they look like people who could meet the Emperor?

"Lord Ji, I'm very curious about how you ended up in this position. You have no vision at all." Princess Qingcheng thought to herself, if this happened in Longling Country, people like him would have died countless times.

Speaking of this Lord Ji, he had something to say: "Oh, this official is also a prince consort, and this official's wife is the princess of the late emperor. Madam is too awesome, there is nothing I can do!"

Princess Qingcheng looked at the pride on Lord Ji's face and felt very disdainful in her heart. He was indeed a man without talent.

Princess Qingcheng was actually wrong. Lord Ji was actually a man of both talent and virtue, but he was just a little thick-skinned. As for the idea of ​​living off his wife, he not only accepted it well, but also brought up his wife from time to time.

Princess Qingcheng rolled her eyes at this moment, looking down on him. She was the one who wanted to help her father accomplish great things. The only one in the world who could match her was the crown prince. She wouldn't even look at a man like him who relied on his wife for support.

Lord Ji has met so many people over the years, and Princess Qingcheng did not hide her expression. He certainly knew that these people looked down on him, but he just stood aside and waited for their decision.

If his prince hadn't wanted to know what the legendary Princess Qingcheng looked like, he wouldn't have accepted this humiliating task!

Seeing this man standing there without saying a word, Princess Qingcheng became even more furious. She wanted to stab him with a knife.

Li Yunyi, the second decision-maker for the envoy from Longling Country, stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Master Ji, please take us to our accommodation first! We need to rest for a while. Please report to your emperor on our behalf. We will go to see the emperor after we have rested."

Princess Qingcheng was particularly unhappy with Lord Li's attempt to smooth things over, and even became a little furious: "Lord Li..."

Lord Li covered his forehead, his veins throbbing. "Does Your Highness intend to meet the Emperor of Jing Kingdom like this?"

Lord Li is also a man, he knows some men's thoughts. Even if she is beautiful, who would like a smelly princess? First impression is still important.

When Princess Qingcheng heard what Lord Li said, she could only kick the person next to her in frustration.

"Then Your Highness the Princess and Lord Li will rest at the inn first. Afterwards, you can only wait for the summons from our wise and enlightened Emperor."

Lord Ji was also very happy about this. He would send the person over and he could also go to Princess Funing's mansion to join in the fun. It was said that the food in Her Royal Highness's mansion was particularly delicious.

Lord Li said politely, "Please lead the way, Lord Ji!"

This Lord Li was the truly wise man in the negotiation team. He had now understood. Their current situation was not optimistic. If they were just waiting for a summons, they probably wouldn't be summoned immediately. They had to be forgiven at least. Furthermore, they had no choice in their current situation!

He sighed silently in his heart. Their Longling Kingdom had not received such treatment for many years. They were still too arrogant. It was true that the situation was stronger than people!

When Lord Ji heard the other party's request, he immediately led the people from Long Lingguo towards the post station with a smile.

On Zhao Houyang's side, after his group of people rushed past the envoys from Longling Kingdom on horseback, everyone was in a good mood for the rest of the journey.

They still took a serious tour of the outer city of Yuanjing, and then a group of people rode back to the Princess's Mansion.

Zhao Lingmeng was also waiting at the gate of the mansion in advance. As soon as Zhao Houyang and others came back, Zhao Lingmeng immediately followed Zhao Houyang to welcome the tablet into the ancestral hall.

After the process was completed, Zhao Lingmeng went to the backyard to help her mother, Wei Shi, and the others. Zhao Houjing and the other two followed Zhao Anping and the others to the front yard to welcome the guests.

As the noble ministers followed Zhao Houyang and his men, they saw Prince Rui, Yang Chengchen, standing at the gate to greet them, along with the three young men from Princess Funing's residence. They were flattered and incredibly honored, secretly wondering if Princess Funing was actually the emperor's daughter, raised in the Marquis of Wu'an's residence.

After they went in and saw Crown Prince Yang Jingchen and the emperor's eldest grandson Yang Chengchen there, they became even more certain of this idea.

Zhao Lingmeng: "Don't be too gossipy in your actions, and don't let your imagination be too outrageous."

That day, everyone witnessed the level of the banquet at Princess Funing's mansion, especially the food. There was almost nothing left on every table. Everyone left with a full stomach, which was a unique way of saying that both the host and the guests had a great time.

Since this was a funeral, with only a memorial tablet, which had already been placed in the ancestral hall, no one could burn incense. Instead, they ate and drank, and those with talent composed a couple of poems of praise and meditation before returning home.

After everyone who was supposed to leave had left, Zhao Lingmeng and the others collapsed in their chairs without any image and wailed, "This is too tiring!"

"Mom, you're right. Now I completely understand why you don't like to hold any banquets. I feel like my face is stiff from smiling today." Zhao Houjing said while pulling his own face.

"Brother is right, it's too tiring. I have to smile at everyone I meet and coordinate all sorts of things."

Zhao Houming felt that even someone like him who loved the hustle and bustle couldn't stand it. This was really tiring.

Zhao Houyang also nodded. It wasn't that he didn't want to say something, but he was too tired. He felt like he could fall asleep right now.

"My cousin is right." Yang Chengchen also stretched out his arms in the chair and agreed.

Zhao Lingmeng, her mother and her two children all looked at Yang Chengchen at the edge in surprise.

Yang Chengchen touched his arm and felt goose bumps rising from his body as his aunt and the others stared at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhao Houyang said directly: "You didn't go back with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yang Chengchen was also confused: "Ah? I haven't been to my aunt's place for a long time since I came back from the farm. Why did I go back?"

When Yang Chengchen said this, Zhao Houyang looked at Yang Chengchen suspiciously for a while, but when he saw that he couldn't see anything, he replied lightly, "As long as you are happy."

Then they all collapsed in their chairs again without saying anything. Yang Chengchen rubbed his nose. He had come to his aunt's place to hide from his father and elder brother, and they actually wanted him to learn how to read memorials. In two words, "outrageous."

It was not until Wei had finished arranging the final matters in the mansion and came in that she saw these people lying on the chairs.

Wei was shocked and confused: "What are you doing?"

"I'm tired, let me bask in the moonlight." Zhao Lingmeng was talking nonsense.

Wei was also an interesting person. She didn't say no, but instead dragged a chair over and lay down on it with them.

"Madam, you are so good!" Yang Chengchen praised Madam Zhao sincerely.
