Chapter 253 Zhao Lingmeng is a person who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside
The next morning, Zhao Lingmeng woke up to see Chunshui waiting by her bed. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if the Emperor had some urgent instructions.
Zhao Lingmeng was even less interested in the present moment after seeing this. He felt as if he had never wanted to go to work in his previous life. He even stretched out on the bed and asked, "Is there something urgent with the Emperor?"
Chunshui realized that Zhao Lingmeng had misunderstood and immediately explained, "There's nothing wrong with the Emperor! It's the eldest young master who's making moves."
"Oh, tell me!" Zhao Lingmeng felt that it was not a good thing for her to wake up early in the morning and hear this news.
"After leaving your place last night, the eldest young master approached the second and third young masters to borrow some silver, but neither of them agreed. Then this morning, the eldest young master gave away two hundred taels of silver. I believe this is all the savings the eldest young master has. Do you want to get the silver back?"
Chunshui was looking at Zhao Lingmeng's expression while speaking. Seeing that His Highness's expression had not changed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry about it for now. I'm going to make sure this guy suffers a big loss this time. Sun Tu probably doesn't have any fatherly love for Jing'er anymore. Just wait! Tell the people in the mansion not to lend money to the young master. Also, remind me from time to time that in the future, try to give things that cannot be converted into cash.
Let Zhao Houjing rely on 20 taels of silver every month to support his father. When he has no silver in his hands, he will realize the importance of silver.
Zhao Lingmeng thought to herself that this time she must make this guy suffer a great loss.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll remember this."
Chunshui silently lit a candle for the young master in his heart. Sun Tu probably wasn't sick, he just wanted to cheat him out of money. And he would have to live a hard life from now on. Normally, when you have money in your hands, you don't feel it, but when you really have no money, you will know how serious it is.
"Your Highness, will you get up? I will help you get up."
Zhao Lingmeng lingered in bed for a while. "Get up! Let's put breakfast in the yard. I'm a little excited because I'm going to watch a big show starting today."
Zhao Lingmeng thought to herself, "Son! Don't blame me for laughing at you. You chose this path yourself."
Zhao Houjing didn't know that his actions were all seen by others, and his mother didn't remind him, just waiting to watch the show.
Chunshui immediately went forward to help Zhao Lingmeng put on her clothes. After Chunshui helped Zhao Lingmeng put on her clothes, someone came in with toiletries.
Zhao Lingmeng simply tidied up and went outside. When she arrived in the yard, she saw Qiuyue directing people to set up breakfast.
"Your Highness" Those people immediately saluted when they saw Zhao Lingmeng coming out.
"Once you're done setting up your meal, please leave!" This is also Zhao Lingmeng's usual practice. She doesn't like having a bunch of people around her when she eats.
Qiuyue didn't go downstairs this time. She had already had breakfast and was standing by, waiting for Zhao Lingmeng's instructions.
Zhao Lingmeng was thinking while eating breakfast. It seemed like she hadn't sent anything to her cousin's children for a long time. Sometimes, when no one reminded her, she really couldn't remember.
She had just come here at that time, when the future was still uncertain, and her eldest cousin and his wife were willing to give her all their belongings. Although she didn't need that much, she remembered their kindness.
"Is my cousin's eldest son going to school too?"
Qiuyue knew this, "Your Highness, the cousin's child will start school this year."
Zhao Lingmeng thought, "I should show some appreciation and give my cousin and his wife a surprise." "Do you have any jade pendants in my private vault that are a little less polished than the one I got yesterday?"
"Yes, Your Highness, how many would you like?"
"Take three! One for my eldest cousin's child, one for my second brother's eldest son, and one for Zhimo! This child is actually quite well behaved. Ever since Jin and I had a falling out, he hasn't come to ask for mercy once. But give the one for Zhimo secretly! Tell him not to make it public. Find the ones made inside and keep them in the bottom of the box for the children.
Then, Chunshui, please apply to the Emperor. I want another place at the Imperial Academy. I want to send my eldest cousin's child to study there."
The emperor was very happy when Zhao Lingmeng asked for this kind of thing. He wasn't afraid of you asking for too much, he was just afraid of you not asking for anything. And stuffing someone in there wouldn't affect anything at all.
Qiuyue and Chunshui agreed immediately. Chunshui immediately went downstairs to deliver the message, but Qiuyue was not in a hurry. She waited here for His Highness to finish breakfast and come back.
After Zhao Lingmeng finished her breakfast, she picked up another miscellaneous book and read it slowly by the window where the sun was shining. She read for a while and then remembered that she had not yet written to Fushou to tell him about the conflict between her and Cheng Engong.
She immediately asked the people around her to prepare writing materials, and she carefully recounted the incident from beginning to end, without exaggerating. This was her respect for her friend.
She wrote the letter and immediately sent it out, and also asked someone to bring some homemade sauces to Fushou, which she was sure Fushou would want to eat again.
Zhao Lingmeng felt that Fushou should not be angry. How could such a thing be forced? Besides, she really had no say in who to teach and who not to teach. She believed that Fushou was so smart that he would definitely have some guesses.
When Fushou received three letters from the capital, one was written by Duke Cheng'en, one was written by the Queen, and one was written by Zhao Lingmeng.
She was originally quite happy to receive three letters at once, but after she finished reading them, she was so angry that she overturned everything on the table, "How outrageous!"
Fushou was truly furious, especially since the Empress Dowager's account of the events was similar to Funing's, while Duke Cheng'en's account was filled with nothing but lies and arrogance, as if he was using her as a pawn. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
It just so happened that the Water Prince was in the next room. When he heard the noise in the room, he immediately ran over.
"Your Highness, take a deep breath, breathe in quickly." Shui Zhuoyong hurriedly supported Fushou, who was about to faint from anger.
Fushou looked at Shui Zhuoyong and became even angrier. However, she thought about what Funing had said, "If you're too angry, no one will take your place." It took her a while to recover, and she sat in her chair for a long time, not wanting to speak.
"Who has the guts to make Her Highness angry? Tell me, Your Highness, and I'll help you beat him up." Shui Zhuoyong was indeed very angry at this moment. Her Highness was in poor health, and he always pampered and coaxed her. Who would dare to make her angry like this?
Fu Shou was furious when she saw the Shui man. When she heard Shui Zhuoyong say that, she couldn't help but vent her anger on him, "Oh? It's Duke Cheng'en and his son. Go beat them up! Remember to hit them hard."
"I'll go right away." Shui Zhuoyong took a few steps outside before realizing something was wrong and turned back: "Your Highness, are you talking about Duke Cheng'en and his son?"
