Chapter 243 Zhao Lingmeng feels that the people around her are also very considerate
Zhao Anping saw her younger sister bringing the tea. Even if she was thick-skinned, she couldn't just turn a blind eye. She could only bow and leave in disgrace.
Zhao Ling dreamed of her elder brother leaving, and immediately ordered the tea set to be removed. Even the good mood she'd had that morning designing the heavy crossbow was gone. She rubbed her brows, annoyed by the lingering connection.
She saw that her eldest brother was the main one who made a request. If you don't agree, forget it. I won't break up with you. It's better to break up with you!
Seeing that His Highness was obviously unhappy, Qiuyue thought for a moment and immediately came up with an idea: "Your Highness, the kitchen staff said that they bought beef this morning. Let's have beef for lunch!"
When Zhao Lingmeng heard Qiuyue say this, she was instantly happy, and all her worries were thrown behind her: "Did you buy beef?"
Speaking of this, Qiuyue was quite content. Ever since His Highness came to his senses, their lives have been getting better and better.
"Yes, I bought it today. Now our Princess Mansion can be considered a mansion that can get a good wait. The queue for beef is now easier than before. After all, there are not many people who can queue ahead of us."
"Then let's have one stew and one stir-fry for lunch! If there's any left, make some beef meatballs and cook them into soup. Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen will be back at noon. Ask the kitchen to cook it quickly!"
Anyway, when it comes to food, Zhao Lingmeng is incredibly knowledgeable. She's so hardworking, and besides wanting a good living environment, she also wants to eat and drink well.
Seeing that His Highness was happy, Qiuyue immediately went down to make arrangements.
Zhao Ling dreamed of Qiuyue happily going down to make arrangements. She also knew Qiuyue's kindness, and she was very happy about this kind of thought. "Chunshui, let your Lord Fan come to get it tonight!"
"Yes, Your Highness! Jingguo feels so safe with you. I thank Your Highness on behalf of the people of Jingguo." Chunshui bowed symbolically after she finished speaking. The ceremony was not very formal, mainly because she wanted to make Your Highness laugh.
Zhao Lingmeng smiled at Chunshui's awkward gift. "Alright, stop joking around and tell Master Fan! The sooner we get it done, the better our Jing Nation will be."
"Yes." Chunshui knew this was serious business, so he left quickly, leaving Dongyuan to wait on him.
Dong Yuan watched His Highness pondering for a long time alone, and he didn't look very happy.
She pretended to be curious and asked, "Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking, if I have my brother beaten up, will my parents come to support him when they come back?"
Zhao Lingmeng was quite excited when she thought of this idea, which showed that deep down she still wanted to test her parents' bottom line!
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Dong Yuan's worried expression and could only comfort him, "Don't worry! I was just thinking about it. I didn't mean to test human nature."
"Your Highness, don't worry about these things. We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either." Dong Yuan also felt that she had become more and more confident since she followed His Highness.
Zhao Lingmeng only fretted for a moment. She still believed that things would work out when they get to the bridge, so she walked out first while saying, "Hahaha, our Dong Yuan is still so domineering! Let's go to Menglin Courtyard and wait. Those two little guys are coming back."
Zhao Anping left Zhao Lingmeng's residence, looked at the sky outside, and didn't want to go back to work. He sent a servant to ask for leave for the afternoon, and then went straight back to the residence.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, he saw Zhao Zhimo just coming out of the mansion.
Zhao Anping was stunned for a moment, because today was not a holiday for the Royal Academy! During the time Zhao Anping was stunned, Zhao Zhimo also saw his father and immediately came over to greet him.
Zhao Zhimo was also very surprised. The officials of Jing State were still very busy, and it was impossible for his father to come back at this time.
"Hello, father. Why aren't you on duty today?"
Zhao Anping walked towards the mansion while talking. What was the tone of the father and son standing at the door? "Get up first! Today is not a day off for the Royal Academy. Why are you back?"
Seeing that his father had seen through his preemptive move, Zhao Zhimo could only touch his nose awkwardly and follow his father into the mansion.
While Zhao Anping was taking Zhao Zhimo to the study, he ordered someone to prepare lunch. Since they had met, he would definitely have lunch with his son.
After Zhao Anping and Zhao Zhimo sat down in the study, Zhao Zhimo spoke first, "Father, has something happened in the court?"
Zhao Zhimo felt that although his father didn't say it, he could feel his unhappiness.
"No, I asked for leave to go to your aunt's house."
"Auntie!" He hadn't been to her house since that incident. Firstly, he felt a little guilty. He didn't know how to face her after their quarrel. Secondly, he was afraid that if his mother knew how much his aunt loved him, she would make some unreasonable demands, which he didn't have the face to ask.
"Well, why haven't you been to your aunt's house recently?"
Zhao Zhimo naturally couldn't tell his father about his worries. He was worried that if his father knew, he would quarrel with his mother again. His mother was having a hard time in the mansion. He was silent for a moment, "I don't know how to face my aunt."
"You're just a child. As long as you're thick-skinned, your aunt won't be able to kick you out."
Zhao Zhimo had no way to respond to this and could only awkwardly pick up the water beside him and drink it. Young people, after all, always have some integrity.
In order to divert his father's attention, Zhao Zhimo brought up the original topic again, "So what did you go to see Aunt about today?"
"I went to talk to your aunt about your brother. Your aunt is teaching the emperor's grandson, so I hope to send your brother there as well. If that doesn't work out, getting a place in the Royal Academy would be great too. Who knew..."
After hearing what his father said, Zhao Zhimo looked at Zhao Anping with an incredible look: "Father, are you crazy?"
Zhao Anping put the teacup aside and said to Zhao Zhimo in a teasing tone, "How can you talk to your father like that? You're being disrespectful."
This shows that Zhao Zhimo, his son, still holds a very important place in the heart of Wu'an Marquis Zhao Anping, and he was not angry at all when hearing this.
Zhao Zhimo wasn't afraid of his father either. He had a helpless expression on his face. "I think my aunt is going to be fed up with these people in our Wu'an Marquisate. They're like poor relatives who are always asking for money. It's endless. That's fine, but they're also the kind of snobbish relatives who are poor in the city and no one cares about them, but they're rich in the mountains and have distant relatives."
Father, you should learn from your uncle. Look at your uncle's family. They always send gifts when necessary and never bother your aunt with things they can solve themselves. Even if there are things they can't solve, your uncle will accept them calmly and not bother your aunt.
Auntie has no obligation to take care of us relatives, really, please stop making trouble."
The more Zhao Zhimo talked, the more tired he felt. His father was so old, but he still didn't understand the principle that the more you use favors from others, the less you will get. Could it be that his father had been with his mother for too long, and that bad company would corrupt him?
