Chapter 498 Zhao Lingmeng's deception of Zhao Zhili
Originally, Zhao Lingmeng had planned to let the two of them out for some fresh air on their monthly rest days. But then the emperor waved his hand and said, "Why are they out?" He sent the secret guards to bring the books in. Zhao Lingmeng also prepared the questions and had them brought in. After two and a half years, they would be released.
Otherwise, running outside often is not the point of exercising.
The emperor knew that Funing did this to make the two boys understand that manufacturing and designing weapons are not just playing house. If one is not careful, it will endanger the lives of many people.
The emperor fully agreed with this decision. Although he himself was lazy, he couldn't bear to see his son being lazy!
That's why Zhao Lingmeng told Zhao Zhili that the two of them were going out to study.
When Zhao Zhili heard that Prince Ruihe and his third cousin were going on a study tour, his eyes widened instantly. He could understand why his third cousin was going on a study tour. As for his aunt's biological son, of course, his aunt had the final say.
But Prince Ruihe is of such noble status, and his aunt has sent someone away to study. Do the Empress, the Emperor, and the Crown Prince know about this? What if something happens outside? What will happen?
Thinking about the troubles that would come later, Zhao Zhili swallowed his saliva helplessly. This aunt was really a fearless person. "Aunt, is Prince Ruihe going too?"
"He insisted on going with me, what can I do?" Zhao Lingmeng teased Zhao Zhili and put the blame directly on Yang Chengchen.
Seeing that his aunt didn't care, Zhao Zhili could only comfort himself that the palace must have agreed to this matter.
"Then why did they leave without telling me?" Zhao Zhili actually felt a little aggrieved when he talked about this. He treated them as brothers, and they left without even telling him. He felt like he was being abandoned.
Seeing that Zhao Zhili looked like an abandoned puppy, Zhao Lingmeng could only quickly comfort him. If she didn't comfort him, the child would cry!
"It's not that they didn't give us a chance to say goodbye, it's mainly because they can't bear to leave you. They're afraid that if they try to take you away secretly, I'll break their legs."
Zhao Lingmeng felt that this was really a cycle. She had just let Yang Chengchen take a small blame, but in a moment, she had to take a big blame for the two of them.
"Ah? I knew that my two brothers couldn't bear to leave me." Zhao Zhili understood when he heard his aunt say that. They must have said that they wanted to take him with them, but his aunt threatened to break his two cousins' legs, so they had to give up on him and ran away overnight.
Zhao Lingmeng: I understand it very well, there is no need to understand it anymore.
"Okay, go down and have a good sleep. Go to the teacher to study hard in the afternoon. In three years, you will also be able to take the examination to become a student." Zhao Lingmeng's main goal was to make shocking remarks.
If his father and mother hadn't warned him not to be disrespectful to Zhao Lingmeng before they left the capital, he would have wanted to rush forward and shake his aunt awake, "Aunt, wake up! Tongsheng is not a cabbage! You can't just take the exam."
"Why don't you take the exam if you want to? Look at your four cousins." Zhao Lingmeng's main purpose at this moment was to irritate people.
Zhao Zhili was about to say something, but after his aunt said this, he was completely lost. Zhao Zhili could only rant in his heart about his cousins' unkindness, especially Prince Ruihe. He said, "You are a good prince, why did you take the imperial examination?"
I think they have no power, are stupid and don't work hard, so they leave no way for us to survive!
Zhao Zhili knew that any further words he said would be in vain. After all, his brothers had raised the bar for ordinary people! He could only bow to Zhao Lingmeng with a gloomy expression, "Auntie, I'll take my leave now!"
Zhao Lingmeng watched Zhao Zhili's droopy back as he left. She didn't feel like she was bullying a kid at all. Instead, she muttered something in her heart, "Try hard, young man!"
Zhao Lingmeng lived a peaceful life at the farm. With the little ones to play with and her husband spending time with her whenever he had time, her life was incredibly comfortable. As for the occasional work next door, it was nothing to worry about; it was just a way to relax.
She was happy staying at the farm, but the queen didn't think so. She had lost her palace power and her mother's family had lost their titles, so the emperor no longer visited her palace.
Now, when the Imperial Concubine and the Four Concubines spoke to her, their backs were straighter. Although she hated them very much, there was nothing she could do for the time being.
The queen was not only very unhappy, but she also experienced the emperor's grace. Fortunately, she was also a smart person. After knowing the importance of the emperor, she began to behave well. She copied Buddhist scriptures, wrote a letter of repentance, and did all kinds of gentle and thoughtful things.
Anyway, the queen doesn't feel ashamed to do this for her husband.
It can only be said that once the queen came to her senses, she still had a way to coax the emperor. When she was coaxing the emperor, it was inevitable that she would not take care of her two sons.
According to the Queen's thinking, the Emperor would definitely help her keep these things a secret. After all, the Emperor was kind to the two children. If Funing knew about these things, wouldn't it make the two children embarrassed?
So her eldest son was basically in the palace, under the care of the emperor. Her youngest son was outside the palace, under the care of Funing, so there was nothing for her to worry about. The most important thing for her was to coax the emperor back.
When the queen thought the emperor had forgiven her, she was surprised to find that she had not seen her youngest son for a long time. The eldest son often came to pay his respects, but the youngest son did not even come to pay his respects.
The queen thought a lot at once, even considering the possibility that her youngest son would know what she had done and choose his aunt.
Finally, the queen could no longer sit still and immediately sent someone to invite the prince.
As soon as the prince heard that his mother had something urgent to talk to him about, he knew what it was. However, the prince did not go immediately. Instead, he read the memorial in his hand and then slowly led his men to the queen's palace.
If you ask the prince why he did this, he was just speaking up for his brother! His brother had been in the camp for over a month, and the queen mother only just remembered that he had a son?
So the queen sent someone to invite the prince at noon, and when the prince arrived, he could have dinner directly.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" The prince was a person who did not show his emotions, so he greeted her as usual, and there was no difference at all.
The queen wanted to ask her eldest son why he had taken so long to come, but when she thought about what she was about to do, she felt a little guilty, so she quickly ordered the meal to be served.
The prince sat down and started eating without even raising his head. He thought that if his mother heard about his brother's whereabouts, she would probably not let him eat properly.
Sure enough, when the Crown Prince had only eaten half his fill, the Queen couldn't wait to ask, "My prince, what has your brother been doing lately? Why haven't I seen him come to the palace to pay his respects?"
