Chapter 231 Zhao Lingmeng Chats with People Around Her
Qiuyue saw that His Highness really hadn't remembered it. Qiuyue thought His Highness was very cute, but she still explained to His Highness carefully:
"It's the Second Young Lady! She sent His Highness a wedding invitation. She gave birth to a son, who is the Third Prince's eldest son. The full moon banquet will be held tomorrow. I thought I'd ask for your opinion."
Zhao Lingmeng has been living too comfortably lately. She hasn't remembered that this is a book for a long time, and she has even less thought about the hero and heroine.
She rubbed her brows, very puzzled: "Haven't we already torn each other apart? Why is she sending me a wedding invitation?"
Qiuyue thought for a moment and said frankly: "I asked around and it seems that Marquis Wu'an accepted her post and replied that he would go, so..."
"So you come to me again to make a presence?" Zhao Lingmeng really admired her second sister. She was like an indestructible cockroach. The more she faced setbacks, the braver she became. These words were not enough to describe her.
But Qiuyue, a servant, couldn't accept this. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, it would bring disaster to her own prince.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't make things difficult for Qiuyue, but instead instructed, "Go find Chunshui. I want to ask her some questions."
"Yes." Qiuyue quickly set the snack plates in place, then bowed and went back to find Chunshui.
Chunshui wasn't busy at the moment; she was outside her room polishing her sword. When she heard Qiuyue say the prince was looking for her, she immediately took her sword and went. Without delay, the prince's affairs were the most important thing to Chunshui.
Chunshui entered and the first thing she did was to bow and salute, "Your Highness, I heard Qiuyue say you were looking for me?"
"Well, get up and sit down!" Zhao Lingmeng ordered, pointing to a stool not far away.
Chunshui knew that His Highness was a man of his word, so she immediately replied, "Yes!" Then she went over and moved a stool and sat down below Zhao Lingmeng.
They were still very accustomed to taking the pine nuts on the table and shelling them for Zhao Lingmeng. These pine nuts were found when His Highness took them to live in the manor some time ago. At that time, His Highness said that these were edible, so they found a lot of them, fried them according to His Highness's instructions, and gave them to His Highness as a snack.
The servants around His Highness had also tried it, but they all thought it wasn't very good, not as delicious as meat, and not very filling. But His Highness liked it, so Chunshui and the others were happy to shell it for him.
Zhao Lingmeng watched Chunshui's actions but didn't stop them. It was mainly because she had told them before, but they would say they understood but wouldn't change. Over time, she just let them do what they wanted.
"I just want to ask about what's going on in the palace recently, do you know?"
"I don't know about this, but who knows? Please wait for me for a moment." Chunshui put the pine nuts in her hand back and ran away in a hurry.
Zhao Lingmeng was stunned for a moment. She felt that these people became more and more lively as they followed her, and she was quite happy.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't remain stunned for long before she saw Chunshui approaching with Nanny Sun. Zhao Lingmeng muttered with a smile, "This girl."
Nanny Sun came up to Zhao Lingmeng and also bowed. However, Zhao Lingmeng held her back and said, "Nanny, don't be so polite in private."
Nanny Sun smiled. She wouldn't respond anyway. His Highness said it was her thing, but she would still perform the proper formalities the next time she saw His Highness. Zhao Lingmeng knew exactly what Nanny Sun was thinking. Zhao Lingmeng knew she couldn't force it, so she just let her do what she wanted.
Nanny Sun sat down on the stool where Chunshui had just sat. She also took a handful of pine nuts and began to shell them. "I heard from Chunshui that Your Highness wants to know what's going on in the palace recently?"
Zhao Lingmeng watched Nanny Sun's actions and felt like she was being bullied. However, she knew that no matter what she said, these people wouldn't listen, so she turned her head away. She told herself that out of sight, out of mind.
"The Third Prince's concubine has posted to me again. I want to know what gives her the confidence."
Nanny Sun saw Zhao Lingmeng's actions, and the smile on her face became even more kind. She thought to herself that His Highness was kind-hearted, so she still had to keep an eye on everything and not let others bully His Highness. Nanny Sun had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but it didn't affect her words to His Highness at all.
"The Third Prince's relationship with the Emperor has improved recently thanks to a few assignments. While it's not as good as before, it's still pretty good, and is basically on par with the other princes in terms of favor.
The Third Prince's wife, Zhou, is also pregnant, and is now four months pregnant. Your sister gave birth to a son, and after a series of twists and turns between her and the Third Prince, he now favors her almost exclusively."
When Nanny Sun talked about this, she still had some admiration for the Third Prince's concubine. Although she always acted foolishly in front of His Highness, she was still smart in front of others. She knew how to hold a man's heart firmly.
"Does she mean that now that she feels she has a son and a beloved one, she can tease me again?" Zhao Lingmeng said, isn't this a sick thing? Living a peaceful life is more important than anything else. Why seek a sense of existence?
Nanny Sun thought about it, nodded, paused for a moment, and added: "It is also possible that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion accepted the invitation, so..."
Zhao Lingmeng understood what Nanny Sun meant and continued, "So you want to mock me for not having my family's support, or do you think that just because the Marquis of Wu'an reconciled with her, I will do the same?"
Nanny Sun smiled and placed the peeled pine nuts in front of Zhao Lingmeng, then casually asked, "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"
"Ignore it for now! I'm too lazy to get entangled with these people. Besides, it's not the first time I've disrespected the Third Prince and his concubine. I want to be a willful person who is loyal to one person from beginning to end."
From Zhao Lingmeng's perspective, this wasn't a big deal. The Emperor probably didn't want me to get too close to the princes in the harem. So why would I have to put myself in a difficult position when I could just be willful?
"As long as His Highness is happy." Nanny Sun now felt that no one in the world was as good as their Highness, so of course the Emperor had to be excluded. So she really felt that it didn't matter whether His Highness went or not, what mattered was that His Highness was happy.
"Actually, I really wanted to go see the show, but what a pity! If I go, I'll be giving her face. Let's just forget about it!" Zhao Lingmeng was a little regretful about this. She really thought it would be a good show. Rongpin's Zhou family was not a pushover and would definitely take action.
Moreover, the Zhou family's daughter is pregnant. Zhao Shuiyun's child has taken the position of the eldest son of the other family. The Zhou family must be very resentful.
Nanny Sun looked at the regretful look on His Highness's face and said lovingly, "If Your Highness wants to know, I'll send someone to find out and tell you when the time comes."
