The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Back in the palace, it was the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, and Zhao Yao was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.As soon as I got back to Kunde Palace, I clamored for dinner.

Liang Zhaoyi saw her son looking like a starved ghost reincarnated, she felt distressed and funny: "Eat slowly, be careful of choking."

Zhao Yao's mouth was full of food, and he had no mouth to answer Liang Zhaoyi's question for the time being.

Liang Zhaoyi was afraid that Zhao Yao would choke, so she quickly served him a bowl of soup.

Zhao Yao swallowed the food in his mouth, choked as expected, he quickly picked up the soup that Liang Zhaoyi had served, and drank it in big gulps.

Liang Zhaoyi quickly patted Zhao Yao on the back: "Let you eat slowly, what are you doing in such a hurry to eat?"

"I'm hungry." Zhao Yao pouted slightly and said, "I'm starving to death." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and started cooking.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

After Zhao Yao finished another bowl of rice, he felt that he was not so hungry anymore.The speed of his eating gradually slowed down, and he no longer devoured like before.

"You didn't eat anything at noon?"

"I ate it. I ate all the pancakes and steamed buns." Zhao Yao stretched out three fingers and said, "I was afraid that I would be hungry in the afternoon, so I ate an extra piece of pancakes and steamed buns."

"Are you still eating more?!" Liang Zhaoyi's son was shocked by these words, "Cakes and steamed buns are not delicious, right?"

"It's not tasty, it's hard, and it cuts your throat when you swallow it." This is the first time Zhao Yao has eaten such an unpalatable food since he grew up. "If you don't drink water and eat at the same time, you can't eat at all."

"I thought you would be so disgusted that you couldn't eat it." Yaoyao has been pampered since he was born, and he has no worries about food and clothing, and the food he eats is excellent.She was worried that the child wouldn't be able to eat steamed buns at noon, but she didn't expect him to eat too much.

"If you don't eat, you will be hungry. Besides, everyone eats, why can't I eat?" He likes to eat food, but it doesn't mean that he only eats food and doesn't eat other things. "The fourth brother said that there are still many people who are eating hard cakes and steamed buns, and many people can't even eat these two things."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Zhaoyi was very relieved.

"Your fourth brother is right. There are still many people who can't even eat hard pancakes and steamed buns."

"If you find the potatoes and sweet potatoes in your dreams, then the common people will be able to eat enough." He went to spring plowing today. Although he didn't go to the field to plant rice seedlings, he could feel the common people's food from eating hard cakes and steamed buns. It's not easy. "Potatoes and sweet potatoes are soft and delicious when boiled, and they are more filling than pancakes and steamed buns."

"I hope your uncle can ask someone to find it."

"I felt quite full when I ate this pancake and Wowotou, but I was hungry after a while." Zhao Yao said with disgust, "I really don't care about being full."

"It can only satisfy the hunger for a while." Liang Zhaoyi asked again, "Have you learned how to plant rice?"

"I have learned it. The fourth brother praised me for my good planting. Unfortunately, the fourth brother only let me plant it for a while, and then he will not let me go to the field."

"The water in the field is cold. Your fourth brother is afraid that you will freeze." Liang Zhaoyi touched her son's small face, and said softly, "Take good care of your body this year, so that you can go to the field to plant rice seedlings when next year's spring plowing begins."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao's expression became wary: "Concubine Mu, you don't want me to drink tonic?"

"I won't let you drink tonic, I'm going to let you eat medicated diet." Liang Zhaoyi was looking at recipes recently, including medicated diet recipes.

"Medicine, is it bitter?"

"It's not bitter." Liang Zhaoyi said with a smile, "The herbal diet is also very delicious."

Zhao Yao was dubious: "If the medicinal food is bitter, I won't take it."

"Okay, if it's bitter, you won't eat it." Liang Zhaoyi asked again, "What else happened today?"

"Second brother competed with the crown prince's elder brother in transplanting rice seedlings, and then lost, the father kicked the second brother..." Zhao Yao vividly told Liang Zhaoyi about the competition between the king and the crown prince.

After hearing this, Liang Zhaoyi frowned dissatisfiedly: "It's really too much fun to compete with transplanting rice seedlings, and the emperor actually agreed."

"Father probably wants to teach the second brother a lesson." Zhao Yao exclaimed, thinking of the prince's skillful movements when planting rice seedlings, "The prince's elder brother looks weak and weak. I didn't expect to plant rice seedlings so well."

"The prince often goes to the fields with the emperor to do farm work. It is not difficult for him to transplant rice seedlings."

Zhao Yao bit his chopsticks and said, "Actually, Brother Prince is pretty good, I think he is better than Second Brother."

"His Royal Highness is gentle and serious, which is good, but sometimes being too nice is not a good thing, especially as the prince." Liang Zhaoyi said with a deep expression, "As the prince, you can't be too gentle. Sometimes you have to be ruthless." .”

"Father is most dissatisfied with the elder brother of the prince because he is too dependent on the Duke of Zhenguo." The elder brother of the prince is a good person, but as the mother and concubine said, as the prince, he should not be too gentle.

Seeing that her son could see this, Liang Zhaoyi was not surprised at all.

"Since ancient times, foreign relatives have been too powerful and will harm the court and the people."

"So both the prince's elder brother and the second elder brother..." Zhao Yao didn't say the word [no play].

Liang Zhaoyi knew what Zhao Yao didn't say.She changed the subject and talked about something else: "After dinner, Concubine Mother will take you out for a walk to digest food, otherwise you will have a stomachache at night."

"Mother Concubine, I'll go to Mynah's place to have a look later, so that I can digest my food after a while."

"Alright." Liang Zhaoyi suddenly remembered something, "By the way, your second mother and concubine and I made some clothes, shoes and socks for the Eighth Prince, and you bring them to him."

"Isn't this a birthday gift for myna, why do you give it now?" In a few days, it will be myna's birthday, so the mother and concubine specially made some clothes for him.

"Give it a few days earlier, and your starling can wear it a few days earlier." Liang Zhaoyi laughed.

"Mynah will definitely like it." The mother concubine and the second mother concubine often make some clothes for mynah, and mynah likes them very much, and sometimes they are reluctant to wear them.

After Zhao Yao finished his dinner, his stomach felt full, so he took Tong Xi to Xingde Palace.

Seeing that Zhao Yao came to him so late, the eighth prince thought he had something to do.

"Brother, I'm fine. I just ate too much. I'll come out for a walk to digest food. I'll come and see you." Zhao Yao took a package from Tongxi's hand. The clothes they made for you, starling, will be your birthday present in a few days."

"Thank you Madam Zhaoyi and the others." The Eighth Prince opened the package, which contained three pieces of clothing.A dark blue robe, two underwear and two pairs of shoes and socks. "When I get better, thank you in person." Every year on his birthday, Liang Zhaoyi and the others would make some clothes for him.Although he didn't have a mother and concubine, he felt family affection from Liang Zhaoyi and the others.

In fact, when the concubine mother was alive, she never made clothes for him.His clothes are all made by wet nurses.

Liang Zhaoyi and the others were not related to him, but they always cared about him.

"Brother, what gift do you want for your birthday?" Zhao Yao said, "I can't afford something too expensive."

"Brother Ten, you say that every year, but you end up giving me some food every year. This year, you probably gave me some delicious food again."

"Myna, you said that I can give you anything."

"I heard that you painted a portrait of the Fourth Emperor, so you can give me a portrait this year." Because of this, the Eighth Prince was very jealous.

Zhao Yao raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said annoyedly, "Why did I forget this. I was going to give you a portrait."

"Give it to me as a birthday present."

"Okay." The portrait was meant to be given to the mynah, and it couldn't be given to mynah as a birthday present. He had to give it to mynah again.Of course, I can't let the starling know now, otherwise there will be no surprises.

The eighth prince asked about what happened today.Zhao Yao chirped and told him everything that happened today.

After finishing speaking, seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Yao left with Tong Xi.

The Eighth Prince sat on the bed, holding the clothes that Liang Zhaoyi and the others made for him.

"Your Highness, in this palace, only the Tenth Highness and Liang Zhaoyi always remember your birthday." Fortunately, in this palace, there are still people who remember His Highness's birthday, and some people specially make birthday gifts for His Highness.

"It's enough to have them." The Eighth Prince handed the new clothes to Yu Hai, "Put them away first, and wear them after I get better."

"Yes, Your Highness." Although Liang Zhaoyi and the others were not His Highness's mother and concubine, they cared about him like His Highness's mother and concubine.

Leaving the eighth prince's house, Zhao Yao didn't rush back, and turned to the fourth prince's courtyard.

The fourth prince was reading a book, seeing Zhao Yao coming to him so late, he was a little surprised.

"Brother Ten, why are you looking for me at this time?"

"Fourth brother, I ate too much at night, so I went out for a walk to digest... burp..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yao burped.

"How much did you eat?" The fourth prince gave Wei Mian a look, and Wei Mian immediately understood.

"I ate three bowls of rice, drank a few more bowls of soup, and ate a stuffed pie... hiccup..." Zhao Yao hiccupped again.

"Why do you eat so much?" The fourth prince frowned slightly and said, "Don't you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"

"I'm hungry. I'm almost starving to death in the palace." Zhao Yao rubbed his stomach and said, "It's not uncomfortable."

At this time, Wei Mian came over with a small medicine bottle and handed it to the fourth prince with both hands.

The fourth prince took the medicine bottle, opened it, took out a pill and handed it to Zhao Yao.

"The medicine for digestion, after taking it, you won't have a stomachache when you sleep at night."

"Fourth brother, I've already taken digestive medicine." As soon as he finished his lunch, his concubine gave him a digestive medicine.

"You're still hiccupping, take another one."

"Okay." Zhao Yao took the pill, Gao Gaodi discarded it, then opened his mouth to catch it, and then swallowed it directly.

Seeing this, the fourth prince smiled helplessly, and immediately picked up a cup of tea on the table.

"Take a sip of tea."

Zhao Yao took the teacup, bowed his head and took two sips of tea.

"You are not allowed to eat so much at night in the future." The fourth prince warned, "If you eat too much at night, it is easy to accumulate food and cause stomach upset."

"Fourth brother, isn't it because I'm hungry." Zhao Yao wrinkled his little nose and said, "It doesn't matter if you are full with the pancakes or steamed buns."

"They are all made of coarse flour and coarse grains, so naturally they don't care about being full."

"So this is ah."

The fourth prince briefly introduced the food to Zhao Yao, which food is full and which food is not.The price of these grains that are full or not.

For a long time, the fourth prince has been paying attention to the price of grain.

As long as the price of grain fluctuates slightly, he will ask people to investigate the reasons carefully.

After talking to the fourth prince for a while, Zhao Yao got up and said goodbye.

On the way back to Kunde Palace, Tong Xi said with emotion: "I didn't expect His Highness Fourth to know so much about food."

"Fourth brother knows so much, so he should always pay attention to these things." Zhao Yao held the back of his head with his hands crossed, and walked slowly, "Fourth brother never makes things public. If he doesn't talk about the price of grain, how do we know that he knows so much about grain?" Case."

"Your Majesty the Fourth Highness doesn't show any signs of dew."

One thing suddenly crossed Zhao Yao's mind. He thought of the words that the fourth brother said to him in the field during the day not to judge people by their appearance, and exclaimed in his heart: "Should the fourth brother know what the starling did?"

Zhao Yao: How did fourth brother know about starling?
