Chapter 237 Yang Chengchen Becomes a Disciple
Yang Chengchen was obviously also well-mannered, and he immediately came out and prepared to pay his respects. Qiuyue, who was standing next to him, immediately took out a cushion and placed it in front of Yang Chengchen. This little guy would also be his disciple in the future, so he could be considered one of his family members, so he could be taken care of.
When the eldest prince's wife saw the cushion, her smile became more genuine.
Yang Chengchen immediately kowtowed three times, and then Qiuyue brought a cup of tea over. He also raised it above his head and said, "Master, please have some tea!"
Zhao Lingmeng ignored the Crown Prince's inquiring gaze and calmly took a sip of the tea. She clearly lived up to the title of Master. She didn't feel guilty about it. Not only would she be teaching her, but if he made a serious mistake, Zhao Lingmeng would be implicated.
The eldest prince's wife's expression was truly grim. She hadn't expected to actually become his disciple. She had thought it was just an excuse from her father. But now that the benefits had already been taken, it was too late to regret. She could only accept it, though she was still unhappy.
After all, the Emperor hadn't appointed a crown prince yet, and the Empress had no children. Of the remaining princes, the eldest prince, being both the eldest son and the son of a noble concubine, held the highest status. He wasn't without his own ideas about that position. If it came to pass, Yang Chengchen, as the second-born son, would undoubtedly be crowned a prince.
By now, the tea had already been drunk, so even if the eldest princess felt a little uncomfortable, she could only let it go. After all, the situation was stronger than people!
Zhao Lingmeng drank the tea, helped the little guy Yang Chengchen up, and handed him the box that had been prepared long ago. She reached out and touched his head, and said gently: "You can call me aunt from now on! Don't worry, I won't treat you and Yang'er differently. You can come to my place to play every afternoon. If you want to stay at the mansion at night, that's fine too."
Yang Chengchen didn't understand what Zhao Lingmeng meant at the moment, but in the following time, he gradually understood that the master really did not hide anything from him. As long as he was willing to learn, the master would teach him seriously.
At this moment, Yang Chengchen was sizing up the person that his royal grandfather had asked him to be his disciple. Although he couldn't see anything special about her, since his royal grandfather had said that she was exceptionally powerful, he felt that she must be exceptionally powerful. This was because his father had said that his royal grandfather was the most powerful person in the world.
He was old now and knew what it meant to be a disciple. But he really liked the woman who touched his head. It was different from the feeling his mother gave him. So he happily called out a few times, "Auntie, Auntie"
The eldest prince's wife's original dissatisfaction was shattered by her son's cheerful calls of "Auntie", and she was so upset that she couldn't even pick it up. She was afraid that Princess Funing would think that this boy was a fool and return it. After all, compared with Princess Funing's sons, her son looked really stupid.
So the eldest princess quickly left Yang Chengchen with Zhao Lingmeng, and she found an excuse to quickly slip away. She had no choice but to slip away! The eldest princess didn't want her son's prince title to fly away.
As for the little guy Yang Chengchen, he had no regrets at all. He was still watching the eldest prince's wife leave, and said with full energy, "Farewell, mother!"
The eldest prince's wife felt like beating her troublesome son to death. So it is always the adults who cannot live without children.
Zhao Lingmeng saw the eldest prince's wife walking quickly, and after hearing Yang Chengchen's words, she was stunned for a moment. Zhao Lingmeng also covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.
"Let's go! Your mother has left too. Let's go see the yard that Auntie has prepared for you. If you like, you can stay here occasionally in the future."
"Aunt, won't you introduce these brothers to me?" Yang Chengchen took the initiative to hold Zhao Lingmeng's hand and looked at Zhao Houjing and the other three.
Zhao Lingmeng first pointed at a young man in a long, green robe and said, "This is my aunt's eldest son, Zhao Houjing. He's currently studying at the Imperial Academy. You don't see him very often."
"Big cousin!" Yang Chengchen, worthy of being in the palace, has emotional intelligence and knows how to put aside his status. As soon as Zhao Lingmeng finished the introduction, he immediately tilted his head and called out in a cute way.
Zhao Houjing quickly declined, as he had no merit or title. "I dare not, Prince Ruihe, why don't you just call me by my name?"
Seeing this, Yang Chengchen looked at Zhao Lingmeng pitifully: "Auntie"
Zhao Lingmeng covered her forehead, feeling quite conflicted. After a moment's hesitation, she finally said, "You can call me whatever you want in private! But you have to be careful about your status outside."
Yang Chengchen looked at Zhao Houjing proudly, "Cousin, you have to call me cousin."
Zhao Houjing had no choice but to smile and call out "cousin", then he took out a box from the back, which contained a gift for Yang Chengchen. "Cousin, take it and play with it!"
"Wow! There's a gift, cousin. Thank you so much." Yang Chengchen accepted it without hesitation, thinking that if he encountered anything special in the future, he could give one to his cousin.
Zhao Houming was a naturally outgoing person, so Zhao Lingmeng didn't need to ask him anything. He said, "I'm Zhao Houming. You can call me second cousin if you like. Otherwise, you can call me by my name."
After Zhao Houming finished speaking, he immediately put the gift box in Yang Chengchen's hand without waiting for Yang Chengchen to call anyone.
Yang Chengchen also shouted happily: "Second cousin!" He felt that this second cousin should be a cheerful person.
Zhao Houming also responded happily, and then it was Zhao Houyang's turn, but he was a little depressed because he was still the youngest.
"I'm Zhao Houyang. I'm probably younger than you, so I didn't prepare any gifts." Zhao Houyang said, and then he stretched out his hand to Yang Chengchen without any hesitation, and called out with a smirk, "Cousin!"
Yang Chengchen really didn't prepare any gift. Zhao Lingmeng was about to speak when she saw the little guy happily pull off the jade pendant from his waist and happily handed it to Zhao Houyang.
Zhao Houyang originally wanted to play a trick on Yang Chengchen, but when he saw that he really gave him such an expensive jade pendant, he felt embarrassed to accept it, so he didn't take it.
Zhao Lingmeng was beside him and advised: "Chen'er, this jade pendant is valuable, keep it for yourself. You can give it to an interesting one later."
Yang Chengchen was still persistent and forced it into Zhao Houyang's hand. "Give it to my cousin. I have a lot of jade pendants!"
When Zhao Lingmeng heard Yang Chengchen say this, she told Zhao Houyang to keep it, thinking that she could subsidize him in other ways later. There was no need to be obsessed with it for the time being.
