Chapter 302: Chapter 202_2
"My mother hopes I grow up safely, leave home at sixteen, and then live well in the place my father gives me."
He Lianfang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is that what you want too?"
Zhao Yao nodded repeatedly, "That’s exactly what I want. I’ve already thought about what I’ll do when I grow up." As he spoke, a look of longing appeared on Zhao Yao’s face, "When I grow up, I’ll travel everywhere, eat all the delicious food in the world, and live a carefree and happy life."
He Lianfang was stunned by Zhao Yao’s words, showing a look of disbelief.
"I’m doing all these things now to prepare for the future. Then I’ll have these people manage the place my father gives me, so I can travel everywhere."
He Lianfang, after hearing this, curled his lips into a cold smile, "You really have great ambition!"
"Uncle, do you think not fighting for that position means I have no ambition?"
"Isn’t it?" He Lianfang hadn’t expected Zhao Yao to have no intention of vying for that position, "Your brothers are all fighting for that position, yet you only want to travel when you grow up."
"Uncle, everyone has their own aspirations. Just because my brothers like to fight for that position doesn’t mean I have to." Zhao Yao’s young face suddenly became very serious, "Putting that aside, what qualifications do I have to fight for that position? I have no people, no power."
"You’re still young, you have plenty of time to build your influence." He Lianfang smiled, "With me around, I can help you fight for that position."
Zhao Yao still shook his head, "No, I’m not interested in being an heir. I just want to travel when I grow up."
He Lianfang, seeing Zhao Yao still saying this, glared at him in frustration.
Then he thought that no matter how smart Zhao Yao was, he was still just a six-year-old child now, wanting to travel when grown up was normal.
He doesn’t want to fight for that position now, but that doesn’t mean he won’t want to in the future. In a few years, when he’s older, he’ll surely change his mind.
"Tell me more about your family situation."
Zhao Yao was taken aback, then said, "I just said it."
"What you said earlier wasn’t detailed enough." He Lianfang’s tone was very serious.
Feeling strange about this command, Zhao Yao saw He Lianfang’s stern expression and had to repeat it, a bit more detailed than before.
After listening, He Lianfang basically understood the situation of Zhao Yao and his brothers, and commented, "A rabble." Zhou Zheng’s son really couldn’t make it on stage.
"Huh? A rabble?" Zhao Yao asked, "Uncle, are you talking about my brothers?"
"Yes, a rabble." He Lianfang sneered in his heart. Zhou Zheng’s sons are really not that impressive, "You’re much better than that group of brothers of yours."
Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "Uncle, are you complimenting me on being smart?"
"Yes, you’re much smarter than your brothers." Zhao Yao’s brothers had strong maternal family support, but Zhou Zheng neither trusted nor liked aristocratic families and would sooner or later take action against them in the city. "You are more suitable for that position than your brothers."
Even if Zhao Yao wasn’t suitable for that position, He Lianfang intended to put him there.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao was stunned, staring blankly at He Lianfang.
He Lianfang saw Zhao Yao’s incredulous look and glared at him, "What kind of look is that?"
Zhao Yao came to his senses and said, "Uncle, I didn’t expect you to think I’m so smart and so good." Saying this, he chuckled with a bit of smugness, "I’m kind of flattered."
He Lianfang snorted lightly, "You are my student, naturally, you are the best." The students he taught would not be bad.
Zhao Yao thought, so that’s how it is.
"Uncle, you’re wrong. I’m not more suitable for that position than my brothers, there are two brothers more suitable than me." To be honest, among his royal brothers, he thought the most suitable for that position was his fourth brother. Although the eighth brother was smart and capable, he tended to be somewhat obsessive.
"Two?" He Lianfang said with some surprise, "Shouldn’t it be one?"
Hearing He Lianfang say that, Zhao Yao was a bit surprised, "Uncle, which one are you talking about?"
"Your fourth brother."
Zhao Yao heard this and was shocked, "Uncle, how did you know?"
"Your fourth brother is indeed more outstanding and has advantages over others." The fourth prince had the support of the Li Family, which was his greatest advantage. This was something Prince Dai and the third prince did not have. "However, this is also your fourth brother’s disadvantage." The Li Family, like the Kong Family, had both advantages and significant disadvantages.
