Zhao Hao said with a fake smile: "Patriarch, I know that the family has its own difficulties, but I also have my own difficulties."
"Patriarch, please think about this. I didn't even hold a ceremony to worship my ancestors in the family, so how can I talk about returning to the family?"
"Besides, as the clan leader said, my father and I will return to the clan first."
"How long will the matter of Zhao Ling be delayed?"
"If the tribe leader tells me at that time that this matter cannot be done, the pressure from other tribesmen will be too great and they will not be able to suppress it."
"What will happen then?"
"Could it be possible for one of my father and I to leave the family again?"
"In this case, how will the world view us, father and son?"
"Isn't this a joke?"
"So, Patriarch, I also have my own difficulties. If you really can't do it, then the matter of returning to the family will have to be abandoned."
"Also, I believe the clan leader is also aware that I don't really have any feelings for this family."
"In fact, I don't even want to return to any family. It's fine for us to live our own lives."
"It's just that my father has feelings for the family, and I'm just taking care of my father's feelings."
“That’s all!”
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng's expression became even more embarrassed.
"Hao'er, how can I shirk my responsibility and evade you? As the head of the Zhao family, I cannot go back on my words once they are spoken."
"Since I have promised you, there is absolutely no reason to regret it!"
"Hao'er, don't worry!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Patriarch, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Please make your own decision."
After saying that, Zhao Hao didn't say anything more. He bowed to Zhao Sheng and left with Wu Song.
Looking at his departing figure, the smile on Zhao Sheng's face disappeared and became ugly.
Just then, a figure walked out from the side hall.
It was Zhao Ling.
Zhao Sheng exhaled slowly and said, "Did you hear everything? This kid is determined and doesn't give me any chance at all."
A hint of helpless resentment flashed across Zhao Ling's triangular eyes: "This damn bastard has to target me!"
Zhao Sheng also shook his head helplessly: "Then there is nothing we can do. I thought I could get away with it during his coming-of-age ceremony."
"But if this kid doesn't give me a chance, then I'll have to let you suffer for now!"
"Don't worry, there will always be opportunities in the future."
"This time, I'll have to put you in trouble!"
Zhao Ling quickly said, "What are you saying, Patriarch? This is all for the sake of the family. There is nothing to be wronged about!"
Zhao Sheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this: "Okay, I'm glad you can understand my difficulties!"
…
Wu Song drove the carriage and asked, "Sir, shall we go back home?"
Inside the carriage, Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing to do if I go back to the mansion. I'll still be held by my mother to do things. I'd better go back to the first floor."
It’s almost noon, so I’ll go to the first floor to have a meal and then have a good sleep. This is the right thing to do.
Last night, he consumed quite a lot of energy.
It has to be said that Su Si is indeed a very powerful opponent.
With his strength as General Qingtian, he was able to fight him three consecutive battles.
Although in every battle he killed them all, with their weapons and armor scattered everywhere and their screams becoming hoarse, this level of endurance was still quite terrifying.
You know, he is the great general who possesses the donkey treasure!
How could its strength be ordinary?
Under normal circumstances, it is no problem to suffer a series of round-the-clock battles.
And it is extraordinary that Su Si has such strong fighting power.
…
First floor.
As soon as he came in, Zhao Hao asked Su Si to prepare lunch for him. After eating happily, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept until dark, then woke up faintly, and then the eunuch from the palace came again to deliver the imperial edict.
Su Si pushed the door open and saw him lying on the bed with the blanket and quilt covering him propped up. Her pretty face immediately blushed.
Then, he quickly turned around and said softly, "Sir, someone from the palace has come to announce that His Majesty is summoning you to the palace!"
Zhao Hao woke up immediately after hearing this, threw off the blanket, got up, dressed and washed.
Seeing Su Si standing aside and not daring to look at him, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and joke.
"Miss Su, didn't you see enough last night? Now you let me dress and wash myself, do you want to see it for a while longer?"
Hearing him say that, Su Si's face turned even redder and she immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
But he still came over immediately and helped him put on his robe.
Seeing her shy look, Zhao Hao gave her a big sip, then walked out with a smile.
After meeting the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict downstairs, he immediately got on the carriage and went to the palace with him.
In the carriage, Zhao Hao looked at the chief steward, Eunuch Qu, and said, "Eunuch Qu has come in person to deliver the imperial decree again. Zhao Hao is flattered!"
Eunuch Qu immediately smiled and said, "Your Excellency is too polite. It is our honor to be here to deliver your order."
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and asked, "Eunuch, I wonder why His Majesty summoned me to the palace today?"
Eunuch Qu said softly, "My Lord, you are really putting us in a difficult position. We really don't know why His Majesty has summoned us!"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, then asked, "Eunuch, how is His Majesty feeling today?"
Eunuch Qu smiled and said, "We know this, sir. His Majesty was in a bad mood today. In the afternoon, he got angry for no apparent reason."
"We were outside the palace and faintly heard His Majesty mention the Lord's name."
"Sir, you must be sober when you go to the palace to see His Majesty."
Hearing what Eunuch Qu said, Zhao Hao was not afraid at all, but was overjoyed.
Are you angry?
It’s good to get angry!
This shows that Her Majesty is very anxious!
It's okay if you're anxious.
It means that the time has come.
Seeing that there was no worry or tension on Zhao Hao's face, but instead he looked relaxed and even secretly happy, Eunuch Qu suddenly became puzzled.
"What are you thinking of, sir?"
"Ah? Nothing!"
Zhao Hao came back to his senses immediately.
"Thank you for the reminder, eunuch. I will be careful when I see His Majesty later."
Eunuch Qu then smiled and said, "It's good that your Majesty has woken up, but there's no need to be too nervous. Even if our Majesty is in a bad mood, he will not vent his anger on the people around him and his subjects."
"My Lord, just be at peace. If you are too nervous and too restrained in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty asks you questions but you are vague and inconsiderate, it will be unpleasant and you will lose your manners."
"So, Sir, just listen to us and don't worry..."
Zhao Hao was speechless.
This old Deng.
It starts again!
After all, he is the chief steward of the palace, why is he so talkative?
It's so annoying.
It was also my fault for being too talkative just now. I wanted to find out about Her Majesty the Queen's situation, but I forgot that Old Deng was a chatterbox.
Isn't this a sin...
