The daily life of the little princess of the royal group

Chapter 233 Traveling Together

Zhao Mingyang was painting in the house while looking at the white mountain scenery when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside. The cheerful yet cautious steps made Mingyue's figure appear in his mind.

He raised the corners of his mouth, pretending that he hadn't noticed anything, and continued painting, counting silently in his mind, three, two, one.

Sure enough, Mingyue suddenly "wowed" and imitated the howling of a big tiger, and appeared at the door.

This is not a big tiger at all, it is clearly someone's newborn kitten, and it is the one that eats the most and is round, white and fat.

He pretended to be frightened and fell sideways on the table, "Ah - so scary!"

Mingyue pouted, "Humph, boring, big brother, how come you can always predict it in advance? You can't even pretend."

Mingyang didn't expect that his acting skills were so poor, and he touched his nose embarrassedly.

"Brother," Mingyue sat on the chair where he was painting, "Is this the snowy scene outside that you're painting?"

Mingyang nodded and said, "Sister, do you want to try your hand at some too?" He handed the paintbrush to Mingyue.

"Oh? Normally I wouldn't destroy your painting, but since you're begging me to add some ink, I'll mercifully doodle on it, hehe."

Mingyue held a slightly larger paintbrush and added a few little figures on top, which happened to be their family of five:

Jiang Mengrou and Zhao Yunshan walking together holding an umbrella, Mingyue chasing Zhao Minghao, and Mingyang following behind holding an umbrella for Mingyue, and finally a series of footprints.

Although Mingyue's graffiti and Zhao Mingyang's meticulous paintings are very different in style, they appear very harmonious because of the beautiful atmosphere.

Mingyang sometimes couldn't help but sigh that Mingyue's painting skills were truly amazing, and it was a gift from heaven without any human teaching.

Mingyue looked at her elder brother who was admiring her and said, "Brother, mother and father will be returning to Minzhou in a few days. Do you want to go with them?"

Mingyang smiled. This girl was waiting here. "If Mingyue goes with us, what reason does Big Brother have to stay in the capital?"

Mingyue was a little shocked. Big brother agreed so easily?

"Brother, what about your academy? How are you going to handle your homework? This trip isn't just for fun. It will be a long time before we return to Beijing."

Mingyang took a sip of tea and said, "That's fine. I heard that Mr. Yuan has a good friend in Jiangnan, and Mr. Yuan also asked me to go there to learn more. But I can't leave you alone in Beijing, so I refused."

What Zhao Mingyang didn't say was that if anything happened, he, as a boy, could run around and his family wouldn't keep a close eye on her like they did on her, being extra cautious.

Mingyue realized that her brother had missed many things for her. She looked at Mingyang with some emotion, "Brother, you are so kind~"

"Zhao Mingyue! Your eldest brother is fine, but your second brother is not?!" Mingyue was frightened by the sudden voice.

She didn't care whether the person who came was her own brother or not, and she started to curse, "Zhao Minghao, are you sick? You scared me so suddenly!" In order to cover up the fact that she was found to be a bootlicker to her elder brother.

Zhao Minghao felt wronged. He heard from his mother that his sister would also go to Minzhou with him, so he happily ran to confirm with his sister. However, he heard his sister praising him for being so good. It would have been fine if she didn't praise him, but she even cursed him. Haohao felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.

Mingyang looked at these two funny guys. When they were doing well, they were good here and there. When they were not, Minghao would always be pinned to the ground and scolded by Mingyue. As the eldest brother, he naturally had to step in and stir up trouble.

He said teasingly, "Hey, Mingyue, I feel embarrassed by your praise. It turns out that the image of big brother in your heart is so great."

"Oh? Second brother, you've never been praised by Mingyue before, that's such a pity, that feeling, wow, it's just amazing."

Zhao Minghao's aggrieved look instantly turned into a resentful face, and he stared at Mingyue.

Mingyue was a little confused. "Oh, did I just say that? Why don't I remember it?"

……

Upon learning that Mingyue and Mingyang were also going to Minzhou, the Queen Mother was reluctant but would not stop them.

After all, what grandchildren? To be honest, what she valued most were her own two children. If Rou'er could resolve this knot in her heart, then it wouldn't matter if she didn't see her granddaughter for a while.

At that time, she repeatedly assured Jiang Mengrou several times that she must write a letter back to Beijing every day to tell her about the daily life of her children and her daughter. Only then did she reluctantly agree.

Jiang Hetang's situation was a bit difficult. Ever since he saw the red spot on Jiang Mengrou's wrist in the morning, he had fallen into deep self-blame and guilt.

He locked himself in the room and hid in the closet, just like when he was hurt and bullied as a child, even though the closet could no longer accommodate his long arms and legs.

Yuan Tianzhen waited outside for a long time, holding the food box. She had heated the stew pot several times, but there was no movement from inside the house. She handed the food to the maid and pushed the door open.

She saw that everything in the room was tidy, except for the wardrobe door which was still open. Jiang Hetang was sitting inside with tears on his face. She felt so broken that her heart felt empty for a moment. "Atang."

Jiang Hetang looked up at her and asked, "Why are you here?" His voice was hoarse. He hadn't eaten for a day and had lost too much water due to crying.

Yuan Tianzhen felt very distressed when she saw this. She knew that he was punishing himself and reflecting on himself.

She stepped forward and put her arm around his shoulders. "Atang, I don't blame you. I don't blame you. I won't blame you either."

Jiang Hetang didn't say anything, his eyes were dull, and no one knew where he was looking.

"Good A-Tang, yes, my sister and brother-in-law went to Minzhou for you, but weren't they also doing it for the people of our Great Zhou?"

Seeing that he was still confused, Yuan Tianzhen casually slapped him in the face, "Jiang Hetang, wake up! Things have come to this point. Can you change anything by doing this? It's better to remember all this in your heart so that you won't be provoked by treacherous officials in the future."

"There have been many emperors throughout history who were incompetent and cruel to their brothers. Think about it, will you be wary of your brother-in-law, General Zhao, becoming more powerful than the emperor in the future?"

"I won't!" Jiang Hetang was finally awakened by Yuan Tianzhen's beating and scolding. "You're right. It's useless for me to feel guilty and blame myself now. It's better to face them separately."

"That's right, there's no such thing as debts or no debts among family members." Yuan Tianzhen comforted him.
