Chapter 158 - I Guess It's Because I'm Happy
She was sitting in front of the window, playing with a wooden comb in her hand.
Tang Yue stood behind her and looked at her for a long time. He secretly sighed. This daughter's family, once she reached the age where she should get married, it was easy to be sad.
“What are you thinking about?” Tang Yue put his head in front of Tang Ya and asked.
Tang Ya was shocked and immediately turned her head. “Brother, when did you come? Today you came to pay your respects?”
“I've been here for a long time. I came to see you. I just saw you in a daze. What are you thinking about?”
Tang Ya's expression was a little unnatural. After hesitating for a long time, she softly replied, “Nothing…”
“Cough, are you thinking about your marriage?” Tang Yue sat on the table and took the wooden comb in her hand. “Brother never asked you, are you… satisfied with this marriage?”
“Brother said that. Since ancient times, marriage was a big thing. How can the words of a matchmaker be satisfied? Besides…”
“Moreover what?”
“Brother, do you think Noble Heir of State Duke Heng is trustworthy?”
It was very difficult to change a person's impression of another person, especially when the two of them did not have much contact. Although Tang Ya had always heard that Noble Heir of State Duke Heng had changed. He had become handsome and foolish, and he had become a wise man, she really couldn't associate such a person with that fat, big, and lustful man back then.
“What kind of person do you think can be trusted? Is he an honest and honest man who knows no lies, or a man who holds great power in his career?”
Tang Ya thought for a moment. “Father once said that in this world, without power and money, one can get love from each other, but… I once secretly went out to see the people of Ye City. They live, eat, and wear clothes. They are not even as good as the servants at home. If I were to live like that, I am afraid I would be at a loss.
Brother, am I too snobbish?”
“Of course not!” Tang Yue denied. “Life is unfair. Some people are born with gold keys in their mouths. Some people are born to be slaves. This is fate. It cannot be changed. This is your advantage. You have the right to enjoy such superiority, why use your own advantage to exchange for those impractical things?”
The more Tang admired love, the less he would not have fallen out with his family because of his sexual orientation. He would not have questioned Yueyang Marquis when he first found out that Yueyang Marquis was going to marry Tang Ya to Noble Heir of State Duke Heng.
However, it was impossible for a person to never face reality. If he had a daughter, she would definitely enjoy material things in order to talk about spiritual love.
“Noble Heir of State Duke Heng is smooth. I know him quite well. He is not a man with great courage. He is not a very bold person either. So, if you want to find a hero, let me tell you. He definitely isn't.”
“No, it is hard to be a hero. It is harder to be a woman behind a hero. I just want a husband who is passionate. He knows his heart and can lead a life. He can have a stable support. As long as he has enough food and clothing, it will be better if I don't marry anyone.”
Tang Yue had to agree with her. In fact, he thought the same thing. In this era, women were too harsh. From time to time, they would marry each other and raise their children. They would have to endure their husbands having many wives and concubines. They would give birth to a bunch of children without their own blood. They would also have to be treated as their own children.
How was that possible? If Tang Yue had a daughter, he would definitely not let her suffer this kind of anger.
“Remember, the door of Yueyang Marquis's Mansion will always be open for you. If you are angry in State Duke Heng's Mansion, you will be unhappy. If you really feel that you can't live anymore, come back. I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Tang Ya finally revealed a smile, “Brother, I have never seen you like this as your brother. No one is looking forward to it. Your sister came home? But… I like what you say. I'm serious.”
“Of course!”
“Actually, Noble Heir of State Duke Heng is not that bad. The last time we met, he was very polite. He has changed a lot, but his appearance has changed. I wonder if he is the same inside.”
“It's hard to change a person's personality. What can be changed is just habit. Let's not talk about those bad habits of his in the past. Now that he finally has a human face, he won't dare to bully you.”
Tang Ya took a deep breath, “With you saying this, I am much more at ease.”
She lowered her head and blushed. It was rare for her to reveal a shy daughter's face, “This kind of thing still needs Brother's guidance, really…”
Tang Yue rubbed her head. “You're still young. It's cruel to face this kind of thing at such a young age. There's no need to be embarrassed.”
“Brother is not older than me by a few years.”
Tang Yue handed her the comb. “This comb is too monotonous. I will make another one for you. Just treat it as a wedding gift.”
“How can I do that?”
“Hmm?” Tang Yue asked. “It's fine. I still have some free time.”
Tang Ya glared at him, “I mean, how can a comb do that? Brother is not such a petty person.”
“Haha, you are right. I am being petty. I will definitely make a full set of headgear for you.”
It was already night when Tang Yue returned to the Crown Prince's Palace. Crown Prince Zhao was waiting for him at the table.
Tang Yue rubbed his nose and awkwardly sat beside him. He rubbed his hands and said, “Well, I have eaten at home.”
Crown Prince Zhao picked up his bowl and ate quietly. Tang Yue quickly picked up some food for him and told him some things about his family. “My father also asked me to bring you some fine wine. Do you want some?”
“Would you like to drink with me?”
“Sure!” Tang Yue quickly asked someone to bring him a pot of wine. He poured himself two glasses and took a sip.
The wine was not bad. However, Tang Yue had drunk quite a lot of good wine. The wine here was still too light.
Crown Prince Zhao also took a sip. “I'm afraid this is Master Hou's collection. Why did he bring it to you at this time?”
“Probably because he was happy.” After what he said, Tang Ya's mood became much better. Yueyang Marquis saw that his eldest daughter was happy, so he was naturally happy.
Furthermore, whenever Tang Yue returned to his mother's house, he would always bring large and small bags back. The old madam was worried that he would not live well in the Crown Prince's Palace due to his status.
Crown Prince Zhao glanced at him and continued to eat. He was used to having meals with two people. Now, when he was alone, he would lose his appetite. That was why he had to wait for Tang Yue to come back.
Even if he was just watching, he would still eat.
“By the way, Father still told me about the construction of the factory. He said that you were in charge and that he was waiting to give orders.”
Crown Prince Zhao shook his head. “No need. I am relieved to leave this matter to Yueyang Marquis. But let's not close our own business. Let Manager Liao continue the production. I hope that one day, I will be able to make the pure white paper you mentioned.”
“Oh, then I will have to go and take a look often. Perhaps when inspiration comes, I will be able to come up with some good suggestions for improvement.” Tang Yue thought to himself. He should call Zhang Chun over. He was the number one technician.
“Why haven't I seen Loyal and Brave Marquis recently?”
Crown Prince Zhao looked up and asked, “Do you care about him?”
“No, not really. I just don't know if he has improved in his studies recently. After all, he will be your good servant in the future.”
Crown Prince Zhao smiled and put down his chopsticks. “Whether he is a good official or a good general depends on his ability.”
After dinner, the Crown Prince's Palace received news from the Palace that Madam Wu had a baby. As for the reason, she announced to the public that she was frightened by Crown Prince. Of course, it was impossible for such a rumor to spread. The official statement was that Madam Wu had accidentally lost her child while she was shopping in the garden.
“Oh? Did Royal Father say anything? What was his expression?”
“The king's heart ached, but he still taught Madam Wu a lesson and grounded her feet. As for her expression at that time, none of us knew.”
Crown Prince Zhao was not interested in whether the wife in the palace was a baby or not. He only cared about King of South Jin's attitude towards this matter. He did not care if King of South Jin would really have a father and son grudge because of a woman.
“Also, something happened in the Palace. Don't be angry when you hear it.”
“Huh?” Crown Prince Zhao sat up straight and waited.
“Because of Madam Wu's childbirth, the King seemed to have some complaints about the Queen. The Queen ordered someone to pull Merlin out overnight.”
“The entire Merlin was pulled out?” Tang Yue asked in shock.
“Yes, the palace transplanted these trees to the courtyard in the suburbs overnight. The Queen said that she would give this courtyard to Crown Princess in the future.”
“Give… give to me?” Tang Yue was really flattered. He did not think that the queen would think of him at this time.
However, judging from this matter, the Queen was probably really angry and was using her own method to resist. He hurriedly asked, “Then how did the King react?”
“Apart from losing his temper, it was nothing. Moreover, he slept in the queen's bedroom at night.”
“Caw?” Tang Yue opened his mouth wide. What was going on? Could it be that she had broken the mirror and returned to normal? However, he hoped that it was not the case.
“Your Highness, if there is nothing else, this subordinate will go out first.”
“Mm, go and do something.”
