Chapter 114 Zhao Houyang recognizes people
"Mom, my brother cries so much." Zhao Houjing looked at his brother who was quiet in his mother's arms, with an expression of finally being liberated on his face.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at her two sons, who were now slumped in their chairs, and asked curiously, "Did your brother cry for a long time?"
"It takes so long! And I can't coax him no matter what I do!" Zhao Houjing really feels that taking care of a child is too tiring.
Fortunately, no one present could know what he was thinking, otherwise everyone would probably laugh for a long time. He himself was a child, but he said that raising a child was difficult.
Zhao Houming, who was standing next to him, also agreed with his brother's thoughts and immediately chimed in: "He cried for a long time. I've never seen a child cry so much."
Nanny Wu, Qiuyue and the others beside them couldn't help laughing. Qiuyue even said boldly, "Young Master, Second Young Master, you two are only this young, and you already know how difficult it is to take care of a child."
"Then I know for sure. My younger brother is too difficult to take care of. He just knows how to cry. No matter how my brother and I try to comfort him, it's no use." Zhao Houming said while pretending to be frightened.
Zhao Lingmeng held Zhao Houyang and sat down on the chair next to her. Zhao Houyang was heavier now, so she couldn't hold him for long while standing. So she sat down and held him. She poked Zhao Houyang's face with one hand and said, "Did you hear what the brothers said? How can a man cry so much?"
"Princess, the third young master is still young. He will be fine when he grows up!" Qiuyue couldn't help but speak well of the little guy in the princess's arms.
"Just spoil him! He's such a troublemaker." Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but poke Zhao Houyang's face while saying this, causing Zhao Houyang to turn his face and hide in Zhao Lingmeng's arms, and no matter how she coaxed him, he wouldn't come out.
Seeing that the guy in her arms was no longer playful, Zhao Lingmeng shifted her attention and looked at Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming with concern: "Did you two look for your mother today?"
"I found it!" Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming touched their heads at the same time, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What happened next?" Zhao Lingmeng mainly wanted to know what happened next so that she would know whether or not to reason with them.
"Later, we asked Aunt Qiuyue, and she said, 'Mom, you've gone out to do something and will be back soon.' Then, when we saw my brother crying so hard, we forgot about missing Mom, and then Mom came back."
After hearing what Zhao Houming said, Zhao Lingmeng felt relieved. She probably didn't think the two older ones were that attached to her. As long as they were sure she'd come back, they could play on their own. It had to be said that Zhao Lingmeng breathed a sigh of relief after reaching this conclusion.
"Mom thinks you two were very good today, and you even helped to comfort your brother. In the future, I may go out more often, just like when you two go out to play. I will come back on my own when I'm done. Can you two stop crying?"
"Well, I'm a man, how could I cry? Mom, if you have something to do, just go and do it! I'll help you look after my brothers." Zhao Houjing was now a little concerned about his reputation and refused to admit that he would cry.
Zhao Houming immediately echoed, "Mom, I'm a man now. Men have their own things to do. How can I have time to cling to you? Go and do what you need to do! Mom, just remember to come back and have dinner with us. Of course, I will also help you look after your older brother."
Zhao Houming patted his chest after he finished speaking, looking like a little gorilla. Zhao Lingmeng used a huge willpower to restrain the urge to laugh.
"Okay, since you two are so well behaved, I can go do what I like without any worries."
The two little guys were very happy when they heard their mother say that, and then they started to chatter about what they had played in the morning and what interesting stories Master Wu had told them. In a short while, the whole house was filled with the sound of laughter and it was very lively.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Zhao Houyang fell into a sound sleep in Zhao Lingmeng's arms. She gently placed him on his crib and quietly took the two brothers Zhao Houjing out.
Zhao Houming was still muttering to Zhao Houjing, "Among the three of us brothers, I never thought that the opponent who would compete with me for my mother would be this little guy."
"You are my brother." Zhao Houjing was stunned for a while and could only utter these few words. He also wanted to snatch his mother away.
When Zhao Houming heard his brother say this, he felt that it made no sense. No one stipulated that an older brother must give in to his younger brother. Besides, his mother had been with him first, so he wouldn't give in. But his younger brother was really too young, so Zhao Houming decided to let him have his way for a few years. When he grew up, he wouldn't give in anymore.
Seeing that his brother didn't say anything, Zhao Houjing thought that his brother had listened to him, and for a moment he was a little happy. He felt that his brother still listened to him, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Zhao Lingmeng was already sitting at the table. Seeing the two little guys mumbling in the back and not coming over for a long time, she could only shout: "What are you two mumbling about in the back? Come and have lunch quickly, or your mother will eat all the delicious food by herself."
"Coming! Coming!" Zhao Houming replied as he heard there was something delicious to eat, running towards the dining table. At this moment, all the talk about his brothers and sisters was nothing but clouds; he only had eyes for the delicious food.
When Zhao Houjing saw his brother running away, he immediately chased after him.
After the three of them finished their lunch, they drank some digestive tea as usual, and then took a nap.
After the three of them woke up, Zhao Lingmeng went to soak in the hot spring first, then took a sleep-inducing book and read it next to the hot spring, soaking her feet in the hot spring by the way, feeling very comfortable.
While Dongshui and Dongmian were teaching the two little ones to swim, Zhao Lingmeng would occasionally glance at the two little ones splashing in the water. This was why Zhao Lingmeng was reading by the hot springs. She was worried that the two little ones would drown. She didn't know if Dongmian and the others knew the rescue methods she had used in her previous life, so she had no choice but to stay with them.
Not long after, Zhao Houyang's wet nurse came over again, holding him. Zhao Lingmeng did not reach out to take him, but just let the wet nurse hold Zhao Houyang and play with him.
Seeing that his mother had no intention of hugging him, Zhao Houyang did not cry. He just bit his fingers in the wet nurse's arms. As long as his mother was by his side, he was fine.
In this way, they had a very pleasant afternoon. However, Zhao Houjing and his two little ones were very tired, so they went back to their room to sleep after dinner.
Before going to bed, Zhao Lingmeng wrote down all the knife-making methods she knew in her previous life in her study, and then spent time slowly thinking about whether they would work. It would be best to wait for a reliable craftsman to arrive before trying it out.
She finished all her work for the day before letting Qiuyue and the others help her wash up and go to bed, and she had a good sleep.
The emperor couldn't sleep that night. He heard Fan Yong report Zhao Lingmeng's request. He couldn't make up his mind whether to satisfy Zhao Lingmeng. After all, the technology of casting weapons was very important. If it was leaked, it would be a disaster.
