Chapter 270 Zhao Lingmeng treats Yang Chengchen well
Yang Chengchen was really surprised and very touched, his eyes were red.
"Father, this makes me look like an unfilial son who maliciously speculates about him." But he said this with a smile. He didn't cry out loud as Zhao Lingmeng and Zhao Houyang had worried.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't comment immediately, but instead told Qiuyue to burn the letter. Honestly, Zhao Lingmeng only trusted Qiuyue in this matter.
Yang Chengchen had been with Zhao Lingmeng for a long time and had no scruples. He asked directly, "Aunt, what do you think? Do you think the probability of my father being the king is high?"
In fact, Zhao Lingmeng felt that based on the current situation, the eldest prince had a higher chance of success. The emperor had no legitimate son, and the eldest prince was the eldest son. Although he had not made any significant achievements, he still had the upper hand compared to the other adult princes.
Furthermore, Yang Chengchen had learned weapon manufacturing from her and seemed quite talented. These were all bargaining chips for the Crown Prince! Zhao Lingmeng had wanted to say the chances were great, but after thinking about the plot of the original book, she shook her head conservatively.
"I don't know. I rarely go to the palace, let alone try to understand the emperor's mind."
Yang Chengchen knew from his aunt's silence that she had seriously considered what she said and was not just giving him a perfunctory response.
He nodded happily. He and his father shared the same opinion: he didn't want his aunt to be involved in this. His father was just doing it to have a way out for himself. He sincerely hoped that his aunt would live a good life.
His aunt had silently contributed so much to Jingguo, and he didn't want someone who had saved so many people to have a miserable ending.
My father is a prince. As long as he doesn't commit treason, no matter how serious his crime is, the most he will suffer is imprisonment. There will be no problem in keeping his life.
Moreover, Yang Chengchen felt that since his aunt loved him so much, if his father really had something happen to him, his aunt would definitely do her utmost to save him. By then, he would be the hope of his father's lineage.
They really benefited a lot from their aunt.
"Aunt, don't listen to father. If something really happens, don't save me. Don't let it get you and your cousins into trouble."
Zhao Lingmeng reached out and touched Yang Chengchen's head. "What nonsense are you talking about! You call me aunt. Although your position in my heart is indeed lower than Ming'er and Yang'er, it is not much lower. I will not give up on you unless it is absolutely necessary."
What Zhao Lingmeng didn't have was that she had been supporting Yang Chengchen for several years. He had always been considerate and considerate, and in her eyes, his status was not much different from Zhao Houjing's. Besides, this was ancient times, and there were always more solutions than problems. Even faked deaths existed back then!
If something unfortunate happened, she would not be able to save the eldest prince's family. But she felt that if she wanted to save Yang Chengchen, it should not be a problem.
When Yang Chengchen heard his aunt say this, he was not disappointed, but rather happy. If his aunt had said that his status was the same as his cousins, he would have felt it was a bit fake. Moreover, his aunt had omitted one person, so he thought that his aunt was probably also very disappointed with his eldest cousin!
"Auntie Pu, I thought you were going to say treat me like your own child!"
Zhao Houyang was displeased when he saw Yang Chengchen, this greedy guy, trying to climb up the pole. "Cousin, I'm still here! Can you please stop going too far?"
"Aunt, look at my cousin"
"mother"
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two of them making such a fuss, and her smile was more sincere. She could only pat their heads soothingly: "Alright, you two are really making a fuss."
The two of them didn't make too much noise. After all, they both considered themselves grown-up kids now and had to maintain their image in front of Zhao Lingmeng. So after playing around for a while, they each sat down next to Zhao Lingmeng and had their breakfast. "That's because Auntie is so nice, so we all like you!"
Zhao Lingmeng did not refute, she also felt that she was quite popular among children. Alas, there was nothing you could do when someone was too outstanding!
"Next time you go back, tell your father that I received the letter!"
"Oh, I'll bring it to you. Oh, this prince is so lovable. Aunt, you didn't ask for any reward, since you promised to protect me!" Yang Chengchen looked proud, but he was deeply touched. He was grateful to his father, mother, and aunt.
Zhao Lingmeng and the other two were able to live their own carefree lives at the manor, but they couldn't offer much help. Since that day, Zhao Lingmeng had taken the opportunity to teach them a few more things, which might be the difference between saving and taking their lives in a crucial moment. But at that moment, Zhao Lingmeng still felt it was best to keep the chips in his own hands.
Moreover, Zhao Lingmeng thought that her father was coming back, but she had not received any news. She was also surprised and wondered if she had guessed wrong.
In fact, after things in Haiyan were back on track, Lord Zhao and Madam Wei were planning to return, but after receiving news from the capital, he didn't want to go back and get involved in this mess. He immediately changed his mind and said he would take Madam Wei to see the situation on the border.
This has always been Mrs. Wei's wish. She wants to see what the place where her husband has spent most of his life looks like.
That's why Zhao Lingmeng never waited for the two elders to return. But after receiving a letter from the old Marquis Zhao, she felt relieved. She taught Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen things at the manor and lived a carefree life. Although she was often annoyed by the two younger ones, she lived a leisurely life.
But no matter how leisurely the days are, they will always come to an end. Zhao Lingmeng and his group lived in the manor for almost half a year, but it was time to return to Yuanjing.
Because the New Year is coming soon! Every New Year's Eve, the palace always has a banquet for the ministers and nobles. If Zhao Lingmeng doesn't show up for such an occasion, the people in Yuanjing will probably think that her grace has disappeared and will make all kinds of small plans against her.
Especially at this crucial moment in the fight for the throne, as long as Zhao Lingmeng could get back on her feet, she would definitely go. There's no such thing as a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there's no such thing as a thief who guards against thieves for a thousand days.
Every time Zhao Houyang came to the village, he would go out and have fun in his free time. So every time he left, he was very reluctant to leave.
"Mom, when will we come again?"
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to lie to Zhao Houyang, so she said truthfully, "I can't guarantee anything this time. I'll see what happens to Yuan Jing when we get back!"
Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen felt even more reluctant to leave after hearing what Zhao Lingmeng said. They wanted to take everything away.
"How about you two get another rabbit?"
Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen's eyes widened instantly, expressing their dissatisfaction. This was because they were both rabbit killers, and every rabbit they raised died. As a result, Zhao Lingmeng had never eaten the meat of the rabbits they raised.
"mother"
"aunt"
