Chapter 371: Another day when Lord Zhao and his wife dislike their eldest son
The elders had just been scolded by the old Marquis Zhao, and now they didn't want to stand there and get in the way. They all hurriedly made excuses that they had things to do at home and said goodbye.
Zhao Anping personally escorted all the elders out of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and then he turned and led his men to his father's yard.
The elders of the Zhao Changtian clan wanted to find an ally after leaving the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Everyone was not stupid. They knew that the other clans were not theirs, and if they stretched their hands too far, they would not be welcomed. They all made excuses and left.
Only one person, noticing that the elder Zhao Changtian seemed to be getting stuck in a rut, kindly reminded him, "Brother Changtian, you and I both have descendants. We are both commoners. It's okay to show off in front of the clan members. But you won't be able to show off in front of the royal family. You'd better take care of yourself and think more about your descendants."
Before Zhao Changtian could say anything, the man just swung his sleeves and walked away, looking like he didn't care whether he wanted to listen or not. This really made Zhao Changtian very angry.
He could only stand there and sigh. The situation was stronger than him. Not to mention the princess. Even the current Wu'an Marquis Mansion was not something he, a commoner, could afford to offend. He could only leave dejectedly.
When Lord Zhao returned to the main courtyard, Wei had already ordered people to prepare dinner.
Wei looked at the old Marquis Zhao who strode in and teased with a smile, "Has our Marquis resolved the matter?"
"Who am I? There's no problem I can't solve. These people just can't see their place. In other words, the older they get, the more confused they become."
Old Marquis Zhao always favored intelligent people, and this old foolishness infuriated him. Not to mention that his daughter wasn't even from the same ancestral hall as them, even if she was, it was the eldest princess who wanted someone to sacrifice for the country. If he were one of those people, he would have accepted it with a smile. He wanted the eldest princess and the Marquis of Wu'an to remember their kindness, so they wouldn't act recklessly!
Wei saw through it but didn't say anything. She quickly greeted Old Marquis Zhao, "Alright, stop showing off and sit down to eat!"
When Lord Zhao heard what Wei said, he immediately sat down. He was really hungry. He hadn't even had dinner yet because he had been dealing with all these people.
After sitting down, Lord Zhao looked at the table full of dishes and was very surprised. "What day is it tonight? The dishes are delicious! Just the two of us?"
"Look, the person who is going to have dinner with you is here, right?" Wei pointed towards the door.
Old Marquis Zhao looked in the direction his wife's finger pointed and saw Zhao Anping coming in with his men.
But when Lord Zhao saw that the person who came in was his eldest son whom he wanted to beat, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He thought it would be better to eat alone!
Seeing his father like this, Zhao Anping touched his nose, bowed to himself, and sat down next to Wei.
Wei also disliked this stingy man, "Sit closer, sit next to your father."
Zhao Anping could only sit down next to the old Marquis Zhao with a wronged look on his face. The old Marquis Zhao just looked up at Zhao Anping and continued eating.
At this moment, Lord Zhao's mentality was, "Just sit here! It's better for me to be angry than for my wife to be angry."
Zhao Anping ignored his parents' expressions and started eating from his bowl. While eating, he asked, "Father, do you have any objection to my younger sister doing this?"
"She is the monarch and I am the minister. What opinion can I have? I only have opinions about you now." Old Marquis Zhao didn't care what his son was thinking at the moment! He just confronted him anyway.
"Father, you have to be reasonable. You can't blame me for what Jin did! I am still your mother..."
When Wei heard her eldest son say this, she immediately hit Zhao Anping's hand with her chopsticks quickly and ruthlessly, "You mean I didn't take good care of you?"
Zhao Anping finally realized what was happening. He covered his hands and looked at Wei flatteringly, "Mother, that's not what I meant."
Wei threw the chopsticks on the table with a snap. "Someone, change my chopsticks. This is bad luck."
Seeing his wife getting angry, Lord Zhao patted Zhao Anping on the shoulder and said, "Unfilial thing."
Zhao Anping looked at his father and then at his mother with grievance. He mentioned his younger sister and asked why she was treated like this.
After that, Zhao Anping quietly became a big eater, eating non-stop, turning his grief and anger into appetite. He didn't dare to speak casually anymore.
Old Lord Zhao and Mrs. Wei didn't care about their unlucky son and ate while chatting.
"When the time comes, go there a day in advance and help your daughter!" Old Marquis Zhao was worried that his daughter would be too busy one day.
Wei thought the same, so she agreed readily: "Well, I'll go there early then."
Zhao Anping wanted to ask something, but when he saw his father glaring at him, he swallowed his words. In his heart, he didn't forget to complain, "It's hard to be a son!"
When the emperor in the palace heard the news, Crown Prince Yang Jingchen and the eldest grandson Yang Chengchen were both in front of the emperor and had not left the palace yet!
The three of them were stunned when they heard the news. In the end, Yang Chengchen was the first to speak, "Aunt Funing is really an interesting person. Grandpa, can I go there when the time comes?"
Before the emperor could speak, the first to object was Crown Prince Yang Jingchen, whose reaction was the most intense: "No, who will see these things if you go?"
After the prince finished speaking, he pointed to the memorials that the three of them had been reading for a whole day and still had some left. Although the emperor had not read them carefully, the prince did not want to read them alone at all.
"Father, is it possible that I am still a child? And you must hold on to your power firmly. Most importantly, you still have many sons!"
The emperor's eldest grandson, Yang Chengchen, was really trying hard to persuade the prince.
But Crown Prince Yang Jingchen was not grateful. "You don't need to feed me those magic potions. All your brothers, except Yang Chengchen, have been made stupid by their mother. Anyway, you are not allowed to leave until you finish reading the memorial."
There was another reason why the prince was unwilling to go, which was that he also wanted to go, so tricking his son here to read the memorials was his first choice.
Yang Jingchen didn't want to pay attention to his father. He turned his gaze directly to his royal grandfather.
The emperor watched the father and son fighting, his lips pursed in silence. "Go watch that day! Drink less, and come to the palace early this afternoon to deal with this."
The emperor also wanted to go, but when the envoys from the Longling Kingdom arrived in Yuanjing, he could not go regardless of whether he summoned them or not.
But since he couldn't go, he could let his son and grandson go and have some fun. He wasn't like some selfish fathers!
If the prince knew what his father was thinking, he would definitely say, "I think you are implying something, but I have no evidence."
