Chapter 496 Zhao Lingmeng went to live in the manor again
At this time, the prince and Yang Chengchen also gathered together after knowing the news, and had a meal together. Yang Chengchen regretted it at this time, regretting giving the evidence to his elder brother.
The prince looked at Yanyan's younger brother and could only pick up a piece of Yang Chengchen's favorite dish with his chopsticks.
"Don't you usually like to eat these dishes? Why do you look so listless today?" The prince asked knowingly.
"Royal brother, aren't you asking this question even though you already know the answer?" Whenever Yang Chengchen got angry, he liked to call Yang Chengchen "Royal brother."
The prince couldn't help but tease his younger brother, "Don't call me big brother anymore?"
"Big Brother" Yang Chengchen was really amused by Yang Chengchen and lost his temper.
"You regret it!" The prince started eating by himself and counseled his younger brother at the same time.
Yang Chengchen looked at his elder brother like this, and then he looked at Yang Chengchen belatedly, "Brother, don't you regret it?"
"The Queen Mother is fine. Father won't really do anything to her. As for the rest, we two brothers are here, so nothing will happen. It's just that Father may be less affectionate towards the Queen Mother.
"My father hates people who are stupid and unaware of their mistakes the most! But my mother and grandfather have been too arrogant in recent years. Look at the other two Cheng'en Dukes in Yuanjing City, how low-key they are."
What the prince wanted to say was that the two imperial grandmothers were still alive! How could it be the turn of the queen mother to show off her power everywhere? Even the emperor father couldn't deal with anyone he wanted.
"I hope this kind of choice-between-two situation won't happen again, otherwise I'll really go crazy." Yang Chengchen felt that because of these things, he hadn't eaten or slept well since his royal grandfather passed away, and he was struggling every day about what to do!
The prince could only pick up a few more delicious bites for his poor little brother and promised, "From now on, if you have something like this, just tell me and I'll handle it. Okay?"
"I knew that Big Brother was the best."
Yang Chengchen was not stingy with his lackeyship. After all, his elder brother said he was right and promised to help him clean up the mess later. He just ate and drank happily again.
Yang Chengchen looked at his brother dotingly, who seemed to have put down a burden. Yang Chengchen was in a very good mood. He felt very happy that someone trusted him without reservation, and he could even finish two more bowls of rice.
That evening, Zhao Houming was eating alone at Menglinyuan and asked Zhao Lingmeng the same question, "Who did this Cheng Engong offend? He's so unlucky, he got demoted to the bottom."
Zhao Lingmeng picked out the dishes she disliked from her bowl and casually replied, "Who else could he have offended? Of course, it was your mother."
"Ah? Mom, what did you say?" Zhao Houming put down his chopsticks and was about to slam the table and stand up.
It's no wonder Zhao Houming was angry. In this Yuanjing, who else is as openly a princeling as their Princess Chang's Mansion? And how good is Mother to Yang Chengchen? It's not an exaggeration to say that they are his biological children. What is going on between the Empress and the Cheng'en Mansion?
"You! You've already entered the court as an official, but you still have such a bad temper." Zhao Lingmeng comforted Zhao Houming and told him in detail about her previous grievances with the Cheng'en Mansion. Then she told him the news she had received from Fushou a few days ago.
The reason why Zhao Lingmeng told Zhao Houming so much detail was because Zhao Houming had already entered the court, and sometimes it was easy to suffer losses if the information was not equal.
After hearing this, Zhao Houming's expression improved a lot. "My cousin and the prince are both good. The prince is a smart man."
"Yes, the prince is a smart man." Zhao Lingmeng only sighed with this and continued eating. The emperor had already dealt with it, so anything she did would be overstepping her bounds. For now, it would be best for everyone to pretend she didn't know.
Zhao Houming seemed to understand his mother's silence, and followed her to eat hard.
As for why Zhao Houming came to Zhao Lingmeng's place to eat alone! It was mainly because Zhao Houming had just started working, and no one would trust him with important matters. So he was quite free, and was mainly in the learning stage. Zhao Houming's basic routine was to go to work and leave on time every day and accompany his mother for dinner.
As for Zhao Houjing, Fan Houyang, and Zhao Zhili, they were all studying hard. They wouldn't come to my mother's house for dinner every night. Sometimes they would live directly at the academy, and sometimes, if they were in the mood to study, they would just eat something in their own courtyard and continue reading.
Especially Zhao Houjing, he is already sixteen years old this year and is only a scholar.
According to Yuanjing's customs, men should marry at the age of sixteen. Zhao Houjing was worried about this matter. He felt that as a scholar, he was not confident in marrying the granddaughter of the general of the state.
Fortunately, the retired emperor had passed away, and they all had to observe national mourning, so they didn't have to think of any reason to convince his mother that he didn't want to get married.
So three years later when he was nineteen, he had to pass the imperial examination, otherwise he would not have the confidence to get married.
Fan Houyang went there purely for his mother's generous reward. As for Zhao Zhili, with his older cousins who studied so hard, he felt embarrassed to give up, so he also started studying hard from a young age. He was considered a positive and good child.
After that day, Zhao Lingmeng waited in Yuanjing for Fushou to recover a little. After they had a good meeting, he took Fan Houyang and Zhao Zhili to the farm.
It’s not that Zhao Lingmeng didn’t take Zhao Houjing with him, but he used the excuse of studying at the Imperial Academy and preparing well for the imperial examination.
Zhao Lingmeng also understood that when children grow up, they always don't want their parents to control them too much, so Zhao Lingmeng only gave Zhao Houjing a few instructions, mainly asking him to study hard in Yuanjing. If she found out that he was messing around in Yuanjing, she would come back and break Zhao Houjing's legs.
Then she asked Zhao Houming to keep a close eye on her elder brother, and only then did she take her two younger brothers to live on the farm.
Anyway, as long as Zhao Lingmeng is not in Yuanjing, those who want to find her will have no way to do so, because she lives in more than one manor. She has many manors and sometimes she will change where she lives.
Not long after Zhao Lingmeng and the other two arrived at the farm, Yang Chengchen also came to the farm next to Zhao Lingmeng under the pretext of hunting.
Zhao Zhili gradually discovered that Prince Ruihe often came to Fan Houyang to play. He also went out with him a few times, running around all over the mountains and fields. Zhao Zhili really couldn't stand it and felt that it was more fun to study with the teacher at the manor.
In the end, he didn't like to go with them. Then Zhao Zhili also found that his aunt often went to the farm to look around and even planted vegetables and cauliflowers herself.
Although his aunt would often ask him to join her, he was not interested in picking flowers or making lip balm, so only Zhao Zhili studied seriously with the teacher hired by Zhao Lingmeng every day.
In fact, what Zhao Zhili didn't know was that Zhao Lingmeng, Yang Chengchen, Fan Houyang and the other three had been working very hard for a long time to make Zhao Zhili not interested in their activities.
This way, Zhao Lingmeng could continue to take Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang with them to get close to various weapons. This time, it happened to coincide with the annual weapon feedback from Jingguo.
Zhao Lingmeng planned to take the two of them through it from beginning to end, and then let them try to figure out how to deal with these opinions and problems.
