Chapter 625: Reaching the Summit
King Zhao was a little displeased when he saw him like this, but he didn't say anything in the end. "I understand, you can go down."
This son is good in every way except that he is too conservative. It seems that he needs to think more about the position of the crown prince.
Zhao Ling came out from King Zhao and went directly to the courtyard of Princess Zhao.
"Brother Ling is here. Come quickly and let me see you," Princess Zhao looked at her son with joy. She pulled him aside and examined him carefully for a long moment before saying, "You've lost weight. Ask Nanny Chen to make you your favorite stewed pig's trotters for lunch."
Nanny Chen immediately smiled and said, "I'll go right away."
Zhao Ling was a very picky eater when he was a child. Princess Zhao was so worried that she asked everyone in the yard to cook their own specialty dish. In the end, Zhao Ling only ate a few more chopsticks of the stewed pig's trotters made by Nanny Chen.
Zhao Ling hurriedly stopped him, "No, mother. I have something to do in the front yard. I need to say a few words to you before I leave."
When Princess Zhao heard this, she felt it was not appropriate to keep him any longer, so she winked at Nanny Chen, who immediately took all the maids serving in the room out, closed the door, and stood guard at the door herself.
"It's a good thing that you're busy. It means your father values you. Don't let those two people from the Mo Die Courtyard take advantage of you." Princess Zhao's face turned serious.
Zhao Ling nodded. "What mother said is true. This time, father sent me to Chenzhou on business, and my third brother said a lot of sour words to me."
"Don't worry about it. You should thank Old Qi for the fact that your father has valued you. If that mother and son hadn't failed to take a good interest in him and let him run away, I'm afraid you would still be neglected by your father." Princess Zhao felt happy whenever she mentioned this.
When Qi Hongjun lived in Prince Zhao's mansion before, he should have let her, the princess, take care of him, but the prince let Yu Modie, that woman, take care of him. It was almost as if he was saying the words "favoring a concubine and killing his wife" out loud.
It's a pity that people who are not presentable are not presentable. They can't even look after an old man. Qi Hongjun ran away, the prince was furious, and Yu Modie and her son both got into trouble.
"Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to let father see my good side and not have any other thoughts." Zhao Ling comforted.
Princess Zhao snorted coldly, "You are the eldest son. As long as your father still has ambitions, you must not have thoughts that are not right."
Zhao Ling was silent.
Both mother and son knew that Prince Zhao was different from others. He knew how to use people and was not pedantic in choosing an heir. If Zhao Ling did not have some real ability, it would be impossible for him to sit on the position of crown prince forever.
Shen Qingqian and the others didn't know about other people's affairs, nor did they care to care. Sheng Ze and she had never expected that the road would be so difficult after that day. Even with the magic sword in hand, it took them thirteen days to reach the top of the mountain!
The constant temperature talisman naturally came in handy, but Shengze only started using it today.
However, on the night of camping on the top of the mountain, Shen Qingqian signed in on time, but the mission had not been completed yet.
"Huh?" She opened her eyes in surprise.
Isn't it the sign-in point at the top of the mountain? Isn't this the top of Chengjin Mountain?
"What's wrong?" Sheng Ze's voice sounded and he sat up.
Shen Qingqian didn't know what to say, so she thought for a moment before answering him, "We are at the top of the mountain, right?"
"If we don't look at the snow-capped mountain twenty miles away." Sheng Ze wanted to say yes, but he suddenly remembered that there was another snow-capped mountain twenty miles away that didn't look very high.
Shen Qingqian frowned. Do we have to go up the snow mountain?
Chengjin Mountain is a mountain range, and the place where they are now is the main peak of this mountain range. When they reached the top of the mountain in the afternoon, it was already dark, and Shen Qingqian did not see the snow-capped mountains twenty miles away.
And in her opinion, it should not be considered a gold mountain at such a distance.
But the mission was not accomplished, that is, the system did not recognize that this was the top of the mountain.
Shen Qingqian said, "Then we should get up early tomorrow and reach the top of the snowy mountain before midnight tomorrow night."
