The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Stir-fried orchids are as delicious as fried leeks, which caused the orchids in Lanyuan Pavilion to suffer.He Xiang also complained to Emperor Wu of Zhou about this matter.Although Emperor Wu of Zhou reprimanded Zhao Yao, it was useless. Zhao Yao continued to steal the orchids in Lanyuan Pavilion, which almost made He Xiang angry.

He Xiang had no choice but to take home the well-planted orchids to raise, and those poorly-planted orchids with ordinary appearance were left in Lanyuan Pavilion.

Zhao Yao swaggers and takes away a pot of orchids from Lanyuan Pavilion every day, but He Xiangqi turns a blind eye to it.If possible, He Xiang would like to put up a sign at the entrance of Lanyuan Pavilion, which reads "Ten princes and dogs are not allowed to enter".

Come to Lanyuan Pavilion every day to help, Zhao Yao became familiar with the ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion.

The ministers originally had no impression of Zhao Yao, the tenth prince. They only knew that he was the unfavored youngest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou. Is attractive.

Zhao Yao unknowingly became the pistachio in Lanyuan Pavilion.As long as he is there, the atmosphere in Lanyuan Pavilion will be very relaxed.

Although He Xiangqi was angry with Zhao Yao for stealing his orchids, he still liked the tenth prince with clear and clean eyes very much.

He Xiang and the ministers finally knew why the tenth prince was not favored, because he was just a child, without any intelligence or scheming, very innocent and cute, not like a prince at all.

Now, Zhao Yao goes directly to Lanyuan Pavilion for lunch every day after learning how to learn Kunde Palace.

The food in Lanyuan Pavilion is pretty good.In addition to the lunch provided by the imperial dining room, many ministers would also bring their own food.They know that Zhao Yao likes to eat delicious food, and sometimes they will bring some famous dishes or local products from their hometown, or their specialty dishes and snacks.

Zhao Yao also often brought some delicious food from Kunde Palace to Lanyuan Pavilion, and shared it with the ministers.

Sharing delicious food will shorten the distance between each other, which makes the ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion like Zhao Yao, the prince, even more.It's a pity that Zhao Yao is only free to come here at noon every day.

In the morning, Zhao Yao was going to study in Wende Hall.In the afternoon, he was going to the Martial Arts Field or Changqin Hall, or other places to study.When he finished school in the afternoon, all the ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion got off work.

The words "go to work" and "off work" were said by Zhao Yao to the ministers.Ministers feel that these two words are very appropriate.

The third prince and the seventh prince saw that Zhao Yao often went to Lanyuan Pavilion to help, so they followed suit.The ministers are more restrained when they see them.Some ministers have other thoughts and will try their best to please them.

Emperor Wu of Zhou learned that the third prince and the seventh prince would not be helpful if they went to Lanyuan Pavilion.

The third prince and the others are of course dissatisfied with this decree.Why can the fourth prince participate in the compilation of history?Why is that little boy Zhao Yao able to enter Lanyuan Pavilion freely?

Zhao Yao's going to Lanyuan Pavilion did not hinder the Fourth Prince's study of history. On the contrary, he often helped them find books, bring tea, water, and other things.

The Eighth Prince, who was far away in Hulong Temple, knew all about what Zhao Yao did in Lanyuan Pavilion.

"Your Highness, His Majesty Tenth is very happy staying in Lanyuan Pavilion." He received news from the palace every day, and Yu Hai also knew Zhao Yao's every move in Lanyuan Pavilion.

"He wrote to say that I miss me, but I don't think he misses me at all." The Eighth Prince scolded with a smile, "I think he lived a happy life in Lanyuan Pavilion."

"The Tenth Highness is likable. It is normal for the ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion to like the Tenth Highness." The Tenth Highness is good-looking, sensible and well-behaved, with a sweet mouth, who doesn't like him.

"The fourth prince did a good job." The eighth prince knew that the fourth prince deliberately asked Zhao Yao to go to Lanyuan Pavilion.

Yu Hai hesitated for a while and said, "Your Highness, in fact, Fourth Highness cares about Tenth Highness."

The Eighth Prince looked up at Yu Hai coldly. Yu Hai's heart was chilled by the look, and he immediately raised his hand and slapped himself: "Slave talkative."

"If it's not for the sake of his kindness to the tenth brother..." The eighth prince didn't say anything further, his eyes flashed coldly.

Compared with Dai Wang and the third prince, the eighth prince hates the fourth prince the most, and he hates it for no reason.

Yu Hai knew that the eighth prince hated the fourth prince, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"The tenth brother likes books on arithmetic, so I asked you to send someone to look for them, did you find them?" The eighth prince, like the fourth prince, saw that Zhao Yao liked arithmetic, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"I found a few copies, will you send someone back to the palace tomorrow to His Highness the Tenth?"

"When he comes to Hulong Temple, I will give it to him personally."

Yu Hai hesitated for a while and asked: "Your Highness, is it okay that His Highness Tenth likes arithmetic, after all arithmetic is heresy?"

"Arithmetic is not heresy." The eighth prince taunted, "Confucianism considers itself the right way, and anything that is not Confucianism is heresy. In my opinion, useful knowledge is the right way, and arithmetic is very important in our lives. .”

"Your Highness is right."

When mentioning Confucianism, the Eighth Prince thought of Kong Taichang and his youngest daughter.

"You said that Mrs. Kong left Bodhi Temple alone?"

"Yes, Miss Kong did not leave Bodhi Temple with Mrs. Kong, and said that she would stay in Bodhi Temple to pray for the late queen." After Yu Hai finished speaking, seeing that the Eighth Prince's expression was wrong, he asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, what's wrong? ?”

The Eighth Prince frowned, and said with a thoughtful expression: "It is impossible for Mrs. Kong to leave Miss Kong alone to pray for blessings at Bodhi Temple. There must be something hidden in this."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"You send someone to Bodhi Temple to find out." The eighth prince already had a guess in his mind.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Eighth Prince asked again: "Have Li Chuan and the others left the capital?"

Yu Hai replied: "Dai Wang asked Qian Songtao to take Li Chuan back to Jizhou, but Zhai Gui did not leave."

The Eighth Prince rubbed the Buddhist beads on his left wrist with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was thinking about something, Yu Hai didn't speak any more, and stood quietly aside.

After a while, the Eighth Prince asked, "Are Shen Hu and Chu Ying in the temple?"

"exist."

"Action tomorrow night."

Hearing this, Yu Hai showed a look of surprise on his face, and immediately lowered his voice: "Your Highness, General Shen and the others are all here, if we act, we will definitely fail."

The Eighth Prince picked up the teacup, gently shook the tea in it, and said with a half-smile: "What you want is failure."

Yu Hai understood what the eighth prince meant, "I will inform them immediately." Seeing that the eighth prince picked up the pen to copy the Buddhist scriptures again, he retreated quietly.

The eighth prince in the room was copying the "Diamond Sutra". As he was copying, he had a sarcastic look on his face, and his eyes were filled with gloom.

At this time, in Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao was writing a letter to the Eighth Prince.

Since the Eighth Prince went to Hulong Temple with the prince, Zhao Yao worried that the Eighth Prince would be bored in Hulong Temple, so he would write to him every day.

After Zhao Yao finished writing the letter, he asked the carrier pigeon to deliver the letter to Hulong Temple.He didn't ask his bird friend to deliver the letter for him, it was not suitable, so he used the special carrier pigeon in the palace.

The eighth prince had just finished copying the Buddhist scriptures when he saw a carrier pigeon fly to his window, looking at him with its head tilted.He couldn't help chuckling, stood up and walked over to take the letter from the pigeon's leg.

Opening the letter, Zhao Yao's dog-crawling words came into view.

[Brother, I heard that the fast food in Hulong Temple is delicious, is it true? 】

Just this sentence.

Zhao Yao heard this sentence from Lin Xueyi.

The Eighth Prince smiled helplessly and dotingly: "I just know how to eat." After speaking, he returned to the table and picked up a pen to reply.

[The vegetarian dishes, steamed buns, sesame cakes, steamed buns, and dim sum of Hulong Temple are all delicious.Tomorrow I will ask Yu Hai to send you some to eat. 】

After writing the reply letter, the eighth prince sent the pigeon back.

This carrier pigeon was named Xiaoyi by Zhao Yao.During this time, it made several trips to and from Hulong Temple and the Imperial Palace every day.

When Zhao Yao received the reply, seeing that the eighth prince sent Yu Hai to give him the fasting meal from Hulong Temple tomorrow morning, he jumped up happily.

Mynah treated him so well, so he had to repay my next mynah.However, mynah doesn't like to eat, so he can give mynah a painting.

A few days ago, Tong Xi made charcoal pens according to Zhao Yao's instructions.

In the past few days, Zhao Yao has been drawing with charcoal.He inherited Zhao Yao's ability to draw in his dream.He has been practicing for the past few days, and his painting is getting better and better.

He just finished drawing the fourth brother's picture.In the words of Zhao Yao in the dream, it is a sketch.

Before, the fourth brother drew a portrait of him and gave it to him.In exchange for courtesy, he also had to draw a portrait of the fourth brother and give it to him.

At this moment, Liang Zhaoyi walked in and asked softly, "Are you ready?"

"Get busy." Zhao Yao stood up and stretched his waist, and then showed Liang Zhaoyi the sketch of the fourth prince he had just drawn, "Concubine mother, look at my drawing."

In the past few days, Liang Zhaoyi has seen the sketches that Zhao Yao said, but now she is shocked when she sees the sketches of the fourth prince.

"The drawing is really good."

"Is it exactly the same?"

"Well, it's exactly the same." Liang Zhaoyi sighed in her heart, this painting is too real.

"Mother, I will draw for you tomorrow."

"Okay, concubine mother is waiting." Liang Zhaoyi said and handed the book in his hand to Zhao Yao, "See if concubine mother has made any mistakes in punctuation?"

Ever since Zhao Yao remembered punctuation, he taught Liang Zhaoyi.In the past few days, Liang Zhaoyi has been practicing punctuation.

Zhao Yao took the hand, lowered his head and checked carefully.

"Concubine Mu, you have marked everything correctly." He praised Liang Zhaoyi in the tone of a young gentleman, "Concubine Mu, you have completely grasped the essence of punctuation marks, it is really great."

Liang Zhaoyi, who was praised by her son, pretended to be very happy: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."

"Mother, with punctuation marks, isn't it convenient to read a book?"

"It's very convenient." Liang Zhaoyi said with a smile, "I will mark all the books in the study with punctuation marks during this time."

"Okay."

Liang Zhaoyi said: "You can teach me the pinyin after a while."

Zhao Yao said very readily, "No problem."

"When the time is right, tell your father about punctuation marks and pinyin." Liang Zhaoyi knew in her heart that the promotion of punctuation marks and pinyin would make reading easier.But now is not the time.

Zhao Yao said obediently: "I listen to my concubine." After speaking, he remembered the matter of the stirrups, and hurriedly asked Liang Zhaoyi, "Concubine mother, when will you tell father about the stirrups?"

"After the death of the empress first." Three days later it will be the death of the first empress.
