Chapter 419 Zhao Lingmeng's Arrogance
When the emperor saw the letter from the prince, the prince was already on his way to the extremely expensive restaurant (Renjianxianwei) with the gift.
The guards beside the prince were still worried and asked, "Your Highness, if we leave like this, will the emperor be angry?"
"I'm not afraid of anything, so why should you be afraid?" the prince said, looking around. He hadn't had such a leisurely time in a long time. Now everything he saw was new and interesting.
When the guards around the prince heard His Royal Highness say this, they could only smile ingratiatingly.
Seeing the people around him like this, the prince knew what the guards around him were worried about, so he explained, "Don't worry! If we go somewhere else, Father might be a little annoyed, but if we go to Aunt Funing, he won't be affected.
At least they won't send anyone to chase me back. As for the hard times after I go back, we'll talk about it later.
Don't worry, the emperor won't vent his anger on you."
The guards who followed the prince had been with him for a long time. After hearing the prince's explanation, they did not apologize in a fearful manner, "Your Highness is indeed wise!"
The prince had not been walking around for long when he saw his younger brother Yang Chengchen and Yang Chengsong from Prince Kang Qi's family.
At the same time, Yang Chengchen and Yang Chengsong also saw the crown prince Yang Chengchen, and they both ran over immediately. When Yang Chengchen and Yang Chengsong were about to salute.
Crown Prince Yang Chengchen reached out and supported them both, "Why are you being so fussy in such a crowded place?"
Yang Chengchen and Yang Chengsong looked around at the people coming and going. It was indeed difficult to salute, so they did not insist. As soon as Yang Chengchen stood firm, he immediately looked at his royal brother and said, "Hey, royal brother, father is willing to let you out to play."
The prince could only helplessly reach out and knock Yang Chengchen on the head, "You forgot, I live outside too."
"That's because you live almost the same as in the palace! I went to the Prince's Mansion several times but couldn't find him. But my brother didn't explain it to me. This must be what my aunt said, that our happy life is carried by someone else!"
When the prince heard his brother say this, he patted his shoulder with great satisfaction and said, "Aunt Funing has really taught you well."
The prince really thought so. His younger brother was so capable now. As far as he knew, his younger brother and Zhao Houyang both had weapons that they had improved independently. And they were also very useful in practice.
If other princes had such achievements, they would have been eager to announce them to the world and would have certainly acted more unruly. However, Yang Chengchen did not change his temperament because of this. Instead, he acted like a child who had not grown up. Yesterday, he even insisted on taking the imperial examination when he returned home.
He had never set his sights on the small plot of land in the palace, and he could understand the difficulties he and his mother had faced. It was just like calling him a god-like younger brother.
Yang Chengchen was also very happy to hear his brother praising his aunt. The look in his eyes when he looked at the prince was sparkling. He knew that his brother was also a person who could judge people, unlike those fools outside who waited every day to see their father ascend to the throne and their aunt fall from the altar.
Yang Chengsong, who was standing next to him, looked stunned. When he saw the prince looking at him, he awkwardly called out "Your Highness the Prince."
Seeing that Yang Chengsong was nervous and didn't know what to talk to him about, the prince didn't let Yang Chengsong call him brother, for fear of scaring him.
Yang Chengsong was truly a bit timid at this moment. He had always been a playboy. Although he was now a student, he still felt a bit inferior in the presence of such a powerful person. He was also afraid of accidentally saying the wrong thing and getting beaten by his grandfather when he got home. He also felt that the Crown Prince had a certain aura, the kind of danger that a qualified playboy could sense.
Anyway, Yang Chengsong followed the prince and Yang Chengchen like a shadow throughout the whole process.
The three of them had not been strolling around for long when they saw a carriage coming from Princess Funing's mansion.
Yang Chengchen shouted in surprise, "Aunt is here."
Yang Chengchen instantly forgot about his brother and ran away as fast as he could. Yang Chengsong wanted to run after him, but he didn't dare. He could only smile awkwardly at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Yang Chengsong was very dissatisfied with Yang Chengchen's unreliability. He didn't pull him away at the critical moment, leaving him alone to face the Crown Prince. He could only keep a smile on his face, crying in his heart.
When Zhao Lingmeng saw the three of them, he didn't ask them to be polite and directly led them into the Renjianxianwei restaurant.
As soon as they entered, they were greeted warmly.
Qiuyue quickly stepped forward and said, "Princess Funing's residence, a private room that was booked in advance."
When the person who greeted them heard that they were from Princess Funing's mansion, he immediately led them up to the third floor via another staircase.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the staircase and saw that there was no one there. She knew that this was a special passage, just like the VIP passages in those high-end places in her previous life.
The waiter who greeted them knew they were distinguished guests when he saw the group of people with an imposing aura. He did not dare to talk to them casually unless they asked, as he would not only fail to establish a good relationship but also offend the distinguished guests, which would be bad.
When they arrived at the private room on the third floor, Zhao Lingmeng and the others didn't start looking around as soon as they entered, but sat down directly.
They seemed to be sitting randomly, but their familiarity was clear. Next to Zhao Lingmeng sat Crown Prince Yang Chengchen and Yang Chengchen. This was mainly because of their status; even if they were willing to give way, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing for others.
Sitting next to the prince was Zhao Houming, who had a good relationship with the prince, and sitting next to Zhao Houming was his elder brother Zhao Houjing, who had a good relationship with him.
Next to Yang Chengchen sat Zhao Houyang, and next to Zhao Houyang sat Yang Chengsong. Yang Chengsong sat down a little further away from the crown prince, feeling relieved, and even his sitting posture relaxed a lot.
Zhao Houyang also noticed Yang Chengsong's abnormality. He nudged Yang Chengchen with his hand and signaled with his eyes, "What's wrong with cousin Chengsong?"
"He's afraid of my brother!" Yang Chengchen also found this very funny. Back then in the military camp, this kid was like a thorn in the side, and he had to use both soft and hard tactics to control him. But when he saw his brother, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Obviously, Zhao Houyang also remembered what happened in the past and started laughing with his hands covering his mouth.
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng sat down, she didn't even take the menu and ordered directly: "Bring out all your signature dishes! No need to serve the raw ones, and bring out some of your best-selling dishes. These for now, and we can add more later if it's not enough."
Zhao Lingmeng always took the extravagant route when ordering food. This was mainly because the group she brought with her today were all young men, so she wasn't worried about not being able to finish the food. Since they were here, they definitely had to eat to their heart's content.
The Crown Prince, Yang Chengchen, and Yang Chengsong, who had been here before, were all stunned by Zhao Lingmeng's arrogance. But they maintained a calm demeanor that could intimidate others.
The waiter's heart was in turmoil. This was a major client, a super-major one. Today's offer was equivalent to several months' worth of his commission. He immediately and happily agreed and hurried down to make the arrangements. A client so willing to spend so much money couldn't be neglected.
