Chapter 435 Fan Yong Sends a Token of Love
Zhao Lingmeng opened it and took a look. Seeing a jade bracelet that was obviously worth a fortune, she immediately smiled and said, "Master Fan, come in and sit down."
After she finished speaking, she even moved aside. The main reason was that Zhao Lingmeng believed in Lord Fan's character. Otherwise, no matter how expensive the gift was, she would never let a wolf into the house.
Although Fan Yong really wanted to go in and see the princess's boudoir, he restrained himself. This was against the rules. Although what he was doing was not really against the rules, he still had to do something to cover up his mistake.
"I will stay here and talk with the princess!"
Although Zhao Lingmeng was surprised by Fan Yong's behavior, she still looked up to the man in front of her in her heart.
So Zhao Lingmeng took the bracelet back and put it on the table, then took a plate of snacks from the table and put it on the windowsill. She also moved a stool and sat by the window.
"Okay, go ahead!"
After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, she pushed the plate towards Fan Yong, signaling him to help.
Even if Fan Yong was not hungry at this moment, he felt hungry. He happily took a piece of dessert and ate it slowly.
"Your Highness doesn't want to get married? If your Highness doesn't want to, I've made a small contribution this time, so I should be able to use it to delay it."
After Fan Yong finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Lingmeng cautiously. He wanted to know what His Highness really thought.
Zhao Lingmeng's impression of Fan Yong improved a bit after hearing what he said, but she still expressed her thoughts: "No need, just get married!"
Zhao Lingmeng thought that since her mother wanted her to get married, then so be it! She was currently quite satisfied with Fan Yong and even had a crush on him. As for the future, she thought that in her current position, no one could control her.
If the prince consort is not to her liking, then she can just divorce him! She is no longer the pitiful little girl she was when she first came here. Now she has the confidence.
Fan Yong stared at Zhao Lingmeng in a daze. He hadn't expected His Highness to actually be willing to get married! He had already thought of what would happen if His Highness didn't want to get married for the time being.
I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. "Your Highness, are you really willing?"
"Yes, but not that kind of willingness, because my mother is seriously ill. So are you willing?"
Zhao Lingmeng was also willing to give Fan Yong the right to choose. Although the imperial decree had been issued, if Fan Yong really didn't want to, she could still think of a way to delay it.
"I'm willing to do that. It would be better if we could get along slowly after we have a formal relationship." Fan Yong knew what His Highness meant, but he felt that it was nothing. He would have loved to have the formal relationship first. If this idea hadn't been a bit unconscionable, he would have wanted to say that Madam Wei's illness had healed!
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the happy Fan Yong, and she was also in a good mood. Being liked by someone you don't dislike must be a happy thing!
So Zhao Lingmeng was in the mood to joke: "Prince Consort Fan, please be more tolerant in the future."
"Hahaha, I will listen to our prince." Fan Yong didn't want to get married before, but he is not stupid, so he still knows how to coax a woman.
Fan Yong chuckled a few times, then pulled out a wooden hairpin from his pocket. It had a small, unidentified flower carved on it. He casually placed it in Zhao Lingmeng's hand and said, "This is the gift. The one just now was an apology."
"Oh, Master Fan has two faces! If I don't agree to the marriage, will there be no gift?"
Zhao Lingmeng played with the hairpin in her hand. Although the wood was of famous quality, the carving was very ordinary. She guessed that it was carved by Fan Yong himself.
Fan Yong touched his nose and thought, if you don't want to get married, it would be rude of me to give you this kind of gift! But he still had a desire to survive, "This is our token of love."
After Fan Yong finished speaking, he ran away immediately, fearing Zhao Lingmeng would say something else. Before running away, he didn't forget to take the plate of snacks on the windowsill with him.
Zhao Lingmeng watched Fan Yong shyly run away, wondering if their roles had been reversed. But she was in a good mood, even a little excited!
She sat by the window alone for a while before slowly placing the bracelet and hairpin on top of her jewelry box. Then she closed the window and went to sleep.
As she lay in bed, Zhao Lingmeng remembered that she hadn't yet told him that she was going to stay at the manor for a few days. She thought about what that person did, and then she put those thoughts aside and went to sleep. After all, it was very convenient for the secret guards to know these things.
What's more, Fan Yong, the head of the secret guards, must have known that she was going to the manor, which is why he came to give her a gift in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, the next morning, when Zhao Lingmeng and Zhao Houming were about to set off, Fan Yong was waiting outside the mansion on horseback.
Zhao Houjing's face turned black as he saw her off. He still remembered the beating he received from his mother because he opposed the marriage. Although he really didn't want his mother to remarry and didn't want his own interests to be controlled by others,
But this might not be without the fact that Zhao Houjing was furious about the danger. He always felt that Lord Fan was no fool and that the aura around him was a bit scary.
So when Zhao Houjing saw Fan Yong waiting openly at the gate of the mansion, he naturally looked unhappy.
But Zhao Houyang was different. They had become acquaintances when Fan Yong was recovering in the mansion. Not to mention that he often stayed by his mother's side to protect her, he and Yang Chengchen had seen him many times!
Now that Lord Fan is going to be his nominal father, he is very satisfied.
He immediately stepped forward, bowed as a junior, and greeted, "Uncle Fan, you're here!"
Zhao Houming also obediently performed the salute as a junior and called out "Uncle Fan." This was also a way of expressing his agreement. Anyway, his requirements were not high, as long as he was nice to his mother.
Zhao Houming felt that he would have to pursue his career outside and would not be able to take care of his mother's many things. If there was someone who could protect his mother, he would be willing to call him father, but it all depended on whether that person had the ability to do so.
Zhao Houjing looked at his two younger brothers as if they were traitors. He reluctantly stepped forward and saluted, but did not call anyone.
Fan Yong already knew the personalities of His Highness's three children. As for retirement, one would be enough. It seemed like he should be able to have two good-looking children. Who cared what Zhao Houjing looked like?
"Okay, okay! No need to be so polite!" Fan Yong said as he took out three jade pendants, one for each of them. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the ones Fan Yong gave to Zhao Houyang and Zhao Houming were much better than the ones he gave to Zhao Houjing.
Zhao Houjing's face turned even darker in an instant, and he looked at his mother angrily.
Zhao Lingmeng looked up and down, but she didn't meet Zhao Houjing's gaze. She didn't care about their fight! As long as Zhao Houyang and Zhao Houming were fine, it was fine.
As for Zhao Houjing, he has a gloomy face, so he should not think about other people's things.
Seeing that His Highness hadn't spoken, Fan Yong felt even happier and immediately stepped forward to explain his purpose: "Your Highness, I have nothing to do today. I will escort you to the manor."
