Chapter 84 Zhao Lingmeng prepares to upgrade weapons
"Madam is right. Let's take it one step at a time and divorce my husband first! But there's no rush. Wait until Sun Tu's appointment comes out and then give him a surprise. Let him take up the post without any worries! This princess is so kind." Zhao Lingmeng made up her mind and felt relieved. She was finally going to get rid of that scumbag.
But this was only the first step; there were many more troubles to come! There was also the question of whether the three children should change their surnames, and if so, which clan would they rely on. Zhao Ling dreamed of starting over from her, but she wasn't sure if that would be feasible.
"The princess is mighty!"
Qiuyue was the first to agree. She disliked Sun Tu the most out of all the servants. From the moment the Marquis first met the young lady, she had felt he was fake. Now, Qiuyue wanted to kill him for the princess, but unfortunately, she couldn't. However, she was happy that she wouldn't have to see him again.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the happy faces of the people serving her, and felt that Sun Tu was a failure as a person, but at the same time, she felt that these people around her were quite cute.
"You should restrain yourself a little, it's not done yet! Chunshui, report this to the emperor first. If the emperor approves, have him issue an imperial decree to me. It would be even better if the imperial decree can be issued the next day after the appointment. If not, just issue an imperial decree to dismiss the county horse!"
The pressure instantly came to Chunshui, and Qiuyue and the others also looked at Chunshui.
Chunshui could only swallow her saliva and said softly, "I will write it well and will not delay the princess's important affairs. Other servants cannot guarantee that."
"Okay, let's go! It's time to go to bed." Zhao Ling dreamed that there was a solution to the problem, so he felt that he could go to bed. Tomorrow would be a very good day.
When Qiuyue heard what the princess said, she immediately got up to make the bed, and Qiuhua, Chunshui and the others began to help Zhao Lingmeng wash up. At this time, the atmosphere in the whole room was particularly good.
This happy atmosphere lasted until the next morning, and even Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming felt it. While eating breakfast, they looked at their mother who was eating non-stop. They looked at each other several times, and they were very curious about why their mother was so happy.
Sun Qijing and the others exchanged glances for a while, and finally Sun Qijing couldn't help but ask, "Mom, did anything happy happen today or last night? You seem to be in a good mood today."
"No! It's just that mom made a decision, and you will know it in two days. But mom is very happy now." Zhao Lingmeng replied to the little guy Sun Qijing while eating the buns made in the kitchen.
"As long as my mother is happy, I am happy too." Sun Qiming, the flatterer, immediately agreed.
Every time Sun Qijing got to this point, he felt that his younger brother was really annoying because he always stepped on him to appease his mother. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Sun Qiming from an angle where his mother couldn't see.
In fact, Zhao Lingmeng saw the little actions of the two brothers, but she felt that as long as they didn't ask her to judge, she would pretend not to see it.
"Hurry up and finish eating and go play! Wu Zhonghui might be waiting for you two to play on the slide or play games."
When the Sun Qijing brothers heard their mother say this, they did not refute it, but ate more seriously and quickly. Before long, they were full.
"Mom, we're going out to play. Please wait for us to come back for lunch." Sun Qijing pulled Sun Qiming, who didn't want to leave, and said to Zhao Lingmeng.
"Go! You are not allowed to run around without the servants around you!" Zhao Lingmeng warned them worriedly. After all, there was a small lake in the mansion, and it would be terrible if they fell in accidentally.
"Okay!" The two brothers nodded vigorously, indicating that they would both listen to their mother, and then ran outside together.
Zhao Ling dreamed that the two of them had really left, so he told Qiuyue and the others to clear the unfinished food on the table. Then he took Chunqing to the study.
Zhao Lingmeng took Chunqing into the study to serve, and asked Chunguang to guard the study door and not let anyone in.
Zhao Lingmeng hasn't been to the study recently and almost forgot that the draft paper for the last design of Zhuge Nu is still piled in the corner of this room!
"Chunqing, go and bring in a brazier!"
"Yes!" Chunqing thought the princess was cold, so she immediately went out to find a brazier. Otherwise, it would be terrible if the princess caught a cold in this weather.
Zhao Lingmeng had just prepared her pen, ink, paper and inkstone when Chunqing came in carrying a red-hot charcoal brazier.
"Princess, the brazier is here, please warm yourself up first!" Chunqing said as he placed the charcoal fire one or two meters away from the desk.
"I'm not cold. You burn all of those slowly, leaving not a single one. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhao Lingmeng said as he pointed to the books in the top corner of the bookshelf.
Chunqing didn't ask what it was, but she took a look at it while she was burning it. She saw it, but she couldn't understand it, but she guessed it. These should be the reasons why the emperor sent them here. Now that they have been presented to the emperor, the princess must erase all traces.
"She would hold the brazier by the window and slowly light the pictures one by one, pretending to be warming herself by the fire."
That way, even if someone saw her, they would just think she was a servant, freezing cold, so burning some discarded paper to warm herself was perfectly normal. As the saying goes, "too clear water to attract fish," servants naturally had their own set of survival rules.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Chunqing without looking around, thinking to herself that the person given by the emperor is reliable!
"Chunqing, I want two knives from the military camp, is that okay? The kind ordinary soldiers use."
"This shouldn't be difficult. The emperor should agree. If that doesn't work, you should be able to get it from Marquis Wu'an. Princess, do you want to study swords?" Chunqing looked at Zhao Lingmeng and thought to herself that the princess was worthy of being a princess. Ideas came one after another.
"From now on, I won't let Marquis Wu'an handle my affairs. I'm afraid that if the news leaks out, it will implicate my father."
Moreover, Zhao Lingmeng was still vaguely worried. She wondered whether the royal family would tolerate someone like her. What if one day the emperor wanted to get rid of her and keep the secret, or didn't want Zhao Lingmeng to be used by other countries and wanted to kill her?
In this way, the less her father and the others knew, the safer they would be. She didn't want to implicate so many people.
Chun Qing had no idea what Zhao Lingmeng was thinking, so when she heard what Zhao Lingmeng said, she tactfully said, "I'll report this to the Emperor, and the princess just needs to wait for his approval. I'm not sure if the Emperor will send the weapons to the Princess's residence, or to the manor. If so, would it be convenient for you to stay out of the city for a while?"
"It's all right! Let the emperor choose the place! At worst, we can wait for Sun Tu to return to his hometown, and then go to the farm outside the city to live for a few days under the pretext of divorcing her husband. This is also very logical." Zhao Lingmeng actually wanted to live in the farm as well. She was tired of living in the mansion.
