Chapter 485: Zhao Lingmeng and others waited to see Zhao Houming riding a horse in the parade
Zhao Lingmeng was watching the lively scene below with great interest. In the eyes of those around him, it looked like Zhao Lingmeng was staring blankly.
Yang Chengchen followed Zhao Lingmeng's gaze and looked down. Seeing only a bustling crowd on the street below, he asked in confusion, "Aunt, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the fireworks in this world." Zhao Lingmeng said this with rare emotion.
But Yang Chengchen shook his head in confusion and said, "Anyway, I just know that my aunt is happy today." As Yang Chengchen said this, he sat down opposite Zhao Lingmeng, still pushing Fan Houyang away.
When Fan Houyang asked Yang Chengchen to do so, he rolled his eyes at him.
Yang Chengchen was not afraid of this cousin! Anyway, the two of them were sometimes nice and sometimes noisy. He could find something in the warehouse tomorrow to appease them.
"I'm very happy. Why don't you go to the main hall today? It must be more exciting there than here." Zhao Lingmeng looked at Yang Chengchen who was also looking down with great interest, and chatted casually.
"It's so serious and long in the hall. It's not as free as here!" Yang Chengchen said as he took a fried chicken leg and gnawed it. He was so free and easy, not at all like the kind of prince who would pay attention to etiquette.
Seeing this, Fan Houyang moved a little further to the side in disgust. Feeling that this was still not safe enough, Fan Houyang warned, "Cousin, be careful with your greasy hands and don't wipe them carelessly."
"Don't worry, I won't wipe it casually."
When Fan Houyang heard Yang Chengchen say this, he just breathed a sigh of relief, then he heard this irritating man add: "I'll just wipe it on your clothes."
Fan Houyang bit his cheek and consoled himself, "Never mind, never mind, he's a prince, he's a prince." After consoling himself, Fan Houyang silently moved a little to the side.
Yang Chengchen only glanced at her and snorted proudly. Then he chatted with Zhao Lingmeng again, "Where's my uncle? Why didn't he come today?"
"He is busy in the camp! He can't leave today. He is thoughtful." Zhao Lingmeng knew how Fan Yong treated his three children on a daily basis. Sometimes he even cared about them more than she, as a mother.
So Zhao Lingmeng didn't think it was a big deal that Fan Yong couldn't take leave today. Sometimes she was busy and couldn't take care of the children and the family affairs, which was normal.
You can't be strict with others and lenient with yourself!
"Oh!" Yang Chengchen didn't ask any more questions. Being an official is often helpless. It's okay as long as his aunt doesn't care.
So he started eating seriously again. Zhao Ling dreamed of Yang Chengchen like this, and considerately pushed the food towards him.
"Thank you, auntie!" Yang Chengchen was very happy.
Fan Houyang was speechless. "Is there no food to eat in your Prince Ruihe's mansion?"
"Yes! The style I've been taught since I was a child is very hurtful. You just don't know how to appreciate your blessings! I want to live directly in my aunt's house like when I was a child.
"Aunt! Why don't you have a daughter? If you had a daughter, I think she would be a great son-in-law." Yang Chengchen said, looking at Fan Houyang with an expression that said, "You don't understand."
"Yeah, the kind that lives in the woman's house." Fan Houyang was convinced. Was that a bite of food so important? Fan Houyang, who didn't understand at the time, waited until he and his wife were separated after getting married. He finally felt Yang Chengchen's mood at the moment. That bite of food was quite important.
After Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang exchanged these words, Zhao Lingmeng, Zhao Houjing and Zhao Zhili all laughed so hard that they fell down.
It can be seen how harmonious the atmosphere in this box is.
Time flew by as they chatted about everything under the sun. It didn't feel like much time had passed before the people below started to get restless. Soldiers arrived to maintain order.
"It's coming." Yang Chengchen said this, and the children in the box crowded at the window to look down.
Even Zhao Houjing, who had always been calm, couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Where is it! Where is it!"
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the four excited children and could only smile and remind them, "They're probably still in the palace and haven't left yet! They're just clearing the area!"
The four children were excited for a long time, but finally had no choice but to sit down.
Yang Chengchen couldn't help but sigh at this moment: "Auntie is right, I should have followed my brother to the palace to see. Then I would definitely know what my second cousin had."
"I think he should be the third place winner!" Zhao Lingmeng felt that her son was quite handsome. Isn't it said that the third place winner should be good-looking?
"My second brother wants to be the top scorer, he must be the top scorer." Fan Houyang, who is obsessed with his brother, quickly explained to his second brother.
Yang Chengchen recalled what he had heard from his elder brother, the Crown Prince, and his father, and spoke carefully, "This year's talented students are all quite good-looking. I also think that my second cousin has a chance of becoming the top scorer."
"My second cousin will definitely be the top scorer!" Zhao Zhili is now also a die-hard fan of Zhao Houming.
As soon as Zhao Zhili said this, Zhao Lingmeng and the others all looked at him. Fan Houyang even took the initiative to move over and put his arm around Zhao Zhili's shoulders, jokingly saying, "Little cousin, come and tell your third cousin how you can be so sure that your second cousin will definitely win the top prize."
Zhao Zhili first gave his third cousin a look that asked him if he was stupid, and then he said cheerfully, "Second cousin is so amazing, only the most amazing number one scholar is worthy of him!"
"Tsk!" Fan Houyang would never admit that his cousin's words had successfully convinced him.
Zhao Lingmeng just touched the child's head with amusement. The world of children is really interesting.
Zhao Zhili was very dissatisfied when he saw that everyone treated him like a child. His eyes rolled around and he looked at Zhao Houjing, who had not spoken yet. "What about you, cousin?"
Zhao Houjing also liked this younger cousin very much. He was usually older than his older cousin, and he was much more accommodating to his younger brother than Fan Houyang. So he was happy to make him happy: "Of course I also think your second cousin is incredibly talented. He's definitely going to be the top scorer."
When Zhao Zhili heard what Zhao Houjing said, he jumped up with joy. "Yeah! My cousin thinks the same as me!"
Everyone looked at the lively Zhao Zhili and laughed so hard that they fell down.
At this time, Zhao Houming had already started his horse parade, the first highlight of his life. He was happy, and his posture on the horse became more and more upright.
Even Xie Qinglin, who was ranked second, couldn't help but tease, "With Brother Zhao and Brother Shangguan's grace before me, my grace seems even more ordinary."
Of course, this was just Xie Qinglin's joke. The reality is that all three of them are good-looking.
Xie Qinglin comes from the Xie family, which has survived three dynasties. His gentle and calm temperament is more likely to impress people, so no one cares about his appearance.
