The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Xingde Palace, in the courtyard of the Eighth Prince.

Zhao Yao, Tong Xi, and Yu Hai built a snowman together.The Eighth Prince held the hot water bottle in both hands, and stood on the porch watching the three of them build a snowman.

They used two stones to make the snowman's eyes, a piece of wood to make the nose, and two branches to make the snowman's hands.

Zhao Yao felt that something was missing from the snowman, so he asked Yu Hai to get a rag.

Yu Hai didn't know why, but he obediently went to get a rag.

"Your Highness, what do you want this rag for?"

"You'll know right away." Zhao Yao took a rag and wrapped it around the snowman's neck, "That's right... No, there is still a hat missing, Yu Hai, take another hat."

"Your Highness, what kind of hat?"

"Do you have a straw hat?"

"Straw hat, that servant has to look for it."

The Eighth Prince standing under the corridor saw Zhao Yao's small face flushed from the cold, and his little nose was also flushed from the cold, so he hurriedly waved to Zhao Yao: "Tenth Brother, come here."

Zhao Yao sniffed coldly.He ran towards the Eighth Prince and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

The Eighth Prince took the hot water bottle and stuck it on Zhao Yao's face.He said with some distress: "You see that your face is red from the cold, isn't it cold?"

"It's not cold." Zhao Yao said, reaching out to hold the Eighth Prince's hands, "Look, my hands are hot."

"It's still snowing today, so you better stop playing."

"Brother, I'm not cold." Zhao Yao returned the hot water bottle to the eighth prince, "Brother, you should go back to the house, don't freeze."

"Your Majesty Tenth, this servant has found the straw hat." Yu Hai walked over holding the straw hat.

Zhao Yao said, "Put it on the snowman."

"Okay." After Yu Hai put the straw hat on the snowman's head, he found that the snowman became very cute in an instant.

"Did you become cute after wearing a hat and scarf?" Zhao Yao reached out and patted the snowman's belly, and said with a smile, "This is the correct way to build a snowman."

Standing beside the snowman, Zhao Yao put his arms around the snowman's shoulders, and said to the eighth prince standing in the corridor with a smile: "Brother, draw me and the snowman."

The Eighth Prince raised the corners of his mouth, his brows were full of tenderness: "Okay, I'll draw it."

Zhao Yao suddenly squatted down, made a snowball, and threw it at Tongxi.

Tong Xi, who was suddenly smashed, was a little confused: "Your Highness?"

"Tong Xi, Yu Hai, let's have a snowball fight." Last winter, Zhao Yao had been lying in bed because of illness.Didn't go out all winter.This winter, he is alive and kicking, and of course he has to make up for all the things he didn't do last winter, such as making snowmen and having snowball fights.

"Your Highness, please be merciful."

The Eighth Prince stood on the porch, watching Zhao Yao and the three of them having a snowball fight with amused expression.

Tong Xi and Yu Hai didn't dare to hit Zhao Yao, so they showed mercy.However, Zhao Yao did not show mercy to them, and they were covered in snow by Zhao Yao.

After playing around for a while, I got snow all over my head and body.The eighth prince was afraid that Zhao Yao would catch a cold, so he hurriedly let Zhao Yao into the house, and asked Yu Hai to prepare hot water.

Zhao Yao took a hot bath comfortably, and immediately finished drinking a bowl of ginger soup with a wrinkled face.

In the eighth prince's study, Zhao Yao and the eighth prince sat in front of the brazier to warm up.

Rice cakes and chestnuts are roasted next to the brazier.From time to time, I heard the sound of chestnuts exploding.

Yu Hai brought milk tea and snacks.

Zhao Yao ate some snacks and chestnuts while drinking milk tea, and let out a comfortable sigh: "This is the life of a human being."

The Eighth Prince was amused by Zhao Yao's exclamation, raised his hand and gently tapped Zhao Yao's little head.

"Why, the life you lived in the past was not the life of a human being."

"That's right, the days when you don't study are the days you live."

With a bang, another chestnut exploded. Zhao Yao hurriedly picked it up, peeled off the chestnut shell, and immediately handed the chestnut to the Eighth Prince.

"The freshly roasted chestnuts are delicious, sweet, and delicious. Hurry up and eat them, starling."

The Eighth Prince was also polite, took the chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was snowing outside and the wind was blowing.There was a fire in the house, and it was warm.

Zhao Yao picked up the freshly baked rice cake and ate it.As soon as he took two bites, he cried out.

Seeing Zhao Yao's mouth suddenly bleeding, the Eighth Prince was startled, and asked nervously, "Tenth Brother, what's wrong with you?" Then, he hurriedly said to Yu Hai, "Call the imperial physician."

Zhao Yao grabbed the Eighth Prince and shook his head at him: "There is no need to call the imperial physician." After speaking, he spat out the rice cakes in his mouth together with his teeth.He cried and said, "Mynah, my tooth fell out."

The eighth prince was frightened by Zhao Yao's mouth full of blood, but he didn't expect it to be a tooth loss.The heart that was so frightened that it was raised in the throat just now can be safely returned to the original place.

"It's okay, I lost my teeth when I was your age."

At this time, Yu Hai brought clear water and asked Zhao Yao to rinse his mouth.

After rinsing for a long time, the blood in my mouth finally disappeared.

The Eighth Prince cleaned Zhao Yao's fallen teeth, then packed them in a small box, and immediately put them under his bed.

"The upper teeth should be placed under the bed, and the lower teeth should be thrown on the roof."

Tong Xi was holding the mirror, and Zhao Yao was looking at the mirror and saw that he was missing a tooth next to his front teeth, wrinkled his little nose, and said with an unhappy face, "It's so ugly."

"It's okay, if the teeth fall out, they will grow back soon." The Eighth Prince comforted Zhao Yao in a gentle voice.

"How long will it take to grow?" Zhao Yao said, with a terrified look on his face, "Mynah, am I still going to lose my teeth?"

"That's right, there will be a lot more." Seeing Zhao Yao's little face full of fear, the Eighth Prince stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Everyone will lose their teeth when they are young."

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, your new teeth will grow out soon."

The Eighth Prince told Zhao Yao: "Don't stick out your tongue to lick the place where the teeth have fallen out, or the newly grown teeth will be crooked."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he covered his mouth in fright.

"Brother Ten, you don't want to have crooked teeth, do you?" The Eighth Prince deliberately threatened Zhao Yao, "It will be ugly."

Zhao Yao shook his head straight after hearing this: "No, I will never lick."

The eighth prince picked up the newly baked rice cake, and deliberately asked Zhao Yao: "Do you still want to eat rice cake?"

Zhao Yao shook his head quickly: "I won't eat it, I won't eat it again." He just ate a tooth from eating rice cakes, and he doesn't want to see rice cakes again for the time being.

The Eighth Prince asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "It hurt a little when it fell just now, but it doesn't hurt now."

"Eat less snacks from now on." The Eighth Prince said, "Eating too much sugar is not good for your teeth."

"Ah, can't you have snacks?" Zhao Yao instantly felt unloved, with an aggrieved expression on his small face.

"You can eat it, but you can't eat too much." The eighth prince said, "You will keep losing your teeth from now on, you have to pay attention."

"Brother, why do you lose your teeth?"

"Because you need to get new teeth, everyone is like this, not you alone, so don't be afraid." The eighth prince was also frightened when he lost his teeth for the first time when he was a child. At that time, he thought he was going to die.He hid alone, cried secretly, and then met Liang Zhaoyi.

At that time, Liang Zhaoyi saw that the eighth prince was crying very sadly, so she was concerned and asked him what happened.The eighth prince said sobbingly that he vomited blood and was about to die.

Liang Zhaoyi was frightened by the eighth prince's words, and hurriedly called the imperial physician for him.At this time, she realized that the eighth prince's teeth were missing, and hurriedly asked him if he lost his teeth.

The eighth prince cried and said that he had lost several teeth, and asked Liang Zhaoyi if he was crying to death.

Liang Zhaoyi was pregnant at that time, and she squatted in front of the Eighth Prince with a big belly, gently patted his arm, and gently comforted him, saying that children will lose their teeth at this age, and they will lose a lot of them, so let him not I'm afraid, because it will grow back again.

[The upper teeth are thrown under the bed, and the lower teeth are thrown on the roof. 】This sentence was told by Liang Zhaoyi to the Eighth Prince.

Zhao Yao didn't expect that the eighth prince knew that his mother had told him about the tooth loss.

Besides telling the Eighth Prince about the tooth loss, Liang Zhaoyi also told him many other things.

These things were originally told by the mother concubine to the eighth prince, but the eighth prince lost his mother concubine when he was three or four years old.

Zhao Yao didn't stay with the eighth prince for a long time, sat with the eighth prince for a while, and then went back to Kunde Hall.

As soon as he returned to Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao cried to Liang Zhaoyi that his teeth had fallen out.

Liang Zhaoyi was happy for her son after hearing this.She told Zhao Yao that losing his teeth means he is going to grow up, which is a good thing.

Hearing what Liang Zhaoyi said, Zhao Yao did not reject the tooth loss.

The emperor soon found out about Zhao Yao's tooth loss.The emperor also specially called Zhao Yao to the imperial study to see how many teeth he had lost.

The emperor saw Zhao Yao missing a tooth beside his front tooth, laughed very loudly, and said in disgust that he was ugly.The angry Zhao Yao opened his mouth and bit his face, and ended up biting off a tooth.It made his own mouth full of blood, and it also made the emperor's face full of blood.

This time it was the front teeth that were bitten off, which made it even uglier.

The emperor laughed very loudly, and Zhao Yao was so angry that he wanted to bite him to death, but he bit off his teeth just now, so he didn't dare to bite the emperor again.

The day after biting the emperor and losing one front tooth, Zhao Yao lost another front tooth.

No front teeth, really ugly.

The good mood that I had because I didn't need to study suddenly disappeared.

Zhao Yao decided to talk less before the new teeth grow out.However, the fourth prince, the eighth prince, and the emperor have become very fond of teasing him and making him laugh.

The Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince also laughed at Zhao Yao unkindly when they saw how Zhao Yao was missing two front teeth.

Even He Lianfang laughed at him.

Zhao Yao was numb from the laughter, so he simply broke the can and didn't care.

In Zhao Yao's depression, New Year's Eve came.

There are many rules for the New Year in the palace.Last year because of Zhao Yao's illness, he did not participate in the New Year's activities in the palace.

On New Year's Eve, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhao Yao was woken up by Tong Xi.After washing up, Zhao Yao followed Liang Zhaoyi to Chonghua Palace to offer sacrifices.

On weekdays, except for the queen who can go to Chonghua Palace to worship, other concubines are not allowed to go, and only on the day of the Chinese New Year, other concubines can have the honor to come to Chonghua Palace to worship.

The emperor led his sons and concubines to pay homage to the first emperor, first queen mother, and ancestors.

After the sacrifice, the emperor took his sons to the main hall of Chengguang Hall.The ministers were already waiting in the main hall.

Every New Year's Eve lunch, the emperor would have a meal with his sons and ministers.The New Year's Eve dinner is the emperor's family banquet.

Although there is no need to go to court this morning, the ministers still have to report to the emperor what happened in the past year, such as the harvest of the whole year of last year, the change of population in the whole year of last year, the change of land in the whole year of last year, etc. .

It is not the first time Zhao Yao has come to the main hall of Chengguang Hall, but this is his first time to "go up to court".Although it is not in court now, it feels like it is in court.

The first time I went to court, I felt very majestic. It was obviously the same place, but the feeling was different.

He felt that standing in this team, something seemed to be pressed on his shoulders, and he couldn't help feeling nervous.

People who usually stand here in the early court bear the heavy responsibility of the people of the country on their shoulders.Every sentence they say here is related to the lives of the people, and it can even be said to be related to the life and death of the people.

Zhao Yao glanced at the ministers at the side, and thought in his heart: so many ministers, how many of them really care about the life and death of the common people.Most ministers stand here for their own glory.

Not every minister reported to the emperor what happened throughout the past year, but the most important ministers reported.

Zhao Yao watched the ministers curiously while listening to their reports.

Zheng Rang noticed Zhao Yao's gaze and smiled slightly at him.Zhao Yao immediately gave him a smile back.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, listening to the ministers' reports, while staring down.Seeing the younger son winking at the ministers, he laughed and cursed in his heart, this brat is not honest at all in the main hall of Chengguang Hall.

The ministers reported all morning and did not go to Qionglin Garden for lunch until noon.

Before the luncheon began, the emperor first made a speech, which was also a summary of the whole year of last year, and then praised the performance of the ministers in the past year, and then criticized the things that the ministers did not do well last year. The minister was named and taught a lesson, and finally said his expectations for next year.

After the emperor finished speaking, the lunch officially began.

His Royal Highness the Prince stood up first to toast the emperor.When toasting, first wish the emperor good health, and then wish Da Zhou better and better.

After His Royal Highness finished toasting, it was the turn of other princes to toast.

After the princes toasted, it was the ministers' turn to toast.

Zhao Yao listened to the toast speeches of the ministers, and exclaimed in his heart: These ministers still know how to flatter, and all of them have blown up their father.The emperor's father is really thick-skinned, and he is not shy at all when he hears the blatant flattery of these ministers.

After the ministers toasted the emperor, they began to toast the princes.

When the ministers who supported the prince made a toast to His Royal Highness, they almost praised him to the sky. They praised the prince as the most benevolent prince in the world. Even the famous Prince Wen Hui from the previous dynasty was not as good as His Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness is obviously not as thick-skinned as the emperor. Hearing the compliments from the ministers, his face turned red.

When the ministers who supported the Dai Wang toasted to His Royal Highness, they were even more bragging than the ministers who supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, calling His Highness the number one God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and saying that His Highness Dai Wang was the reincarnation of the Heavenly God of War.

Today is New Year's Eve, so you can only say good things or auspicious things, not bad things, so the ministers try their best to say good things.

Zhao Yao couldn't listen anymore, and sighed in his heart: This is not Chinese New Year, this is a bragging conference.

The fourth prince picked up a piece of beef and found that there were bones in it.He thoughtfully picked out the bone with chopsticks, and then put the beef into Zhao Yao's bowl.

"Thank you fourth brother." Zhao Yao grinned at the fourth prince, showing his teeth with several holes.During this period of time, his upper and lower front teeth fell out.

The fourth prince held back his laughter, and gently reminded Zhao Yao, "Be careful, eat slowly."

"Fourth brother, it's okay, I have experience now." During this period of time, Zhao Yao has become accustomed to eating and suddenly losing his teeth.

The fourth prince's eyes were full of smiles: "I was worried that you ate your teeth. Didn't you almost swallow your teeth last time?" Last time, Zhao Yao ate with the fourth prince and accidentally ate a tooth. He didn't pay attention and almost smashed his teeth down.

Zhao Yao raised his head from the bowl, and looked at the fourth prince with dissatisfaction: "Fourth brother, can you stop mentioning such a disappointing thing, which will affect your appetite?"

"Okay, okay, don't talk, you eat."

After Zhao Yao finished eating the beef in the bowl, there was more shredded pork in the bowl.The Eighth Prince tore a piece of beef into strips with chopsticks, so that Zhao Yao could eat it effortlessly.

"Thank you myna." Zhao Yao gave the eighth prince a smile brighter than today's sunshine.

The fourth prince and the eighth prince not only ignored each other, but they didn't even give each other a look, but the two of them kept serving Zhao Yao's dishes in a very tacit understanding, and they would carefully remove the bones of each dish, or cut the meat into slices. Break into pieces or strips.

At the New Year's Eve luncheon, Zhao Yao ate very contentedly under the care of his two older brothers.Thanks to the careful care of his two older brothers, he did not lose his teeth during lunch.

For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, it is not good to eat blood that bleeds out of the teeth, and people will say it is unlucky.

After lunch, the emperor took his sons and ministers to watch plays and acrobatics for a while.

When watching plays and acrobatics, there will be a period of rest in the middle.The emperor, the princes, and the ministers will throw some money to the people on the stage.

The emperor will also throw some money to the ministers at this time.Not every minister can pick up the money scattered by the emperor, only officials of the fifth rank and above can pick it up.

These coins are actually copper coins used on weekdays, but the material is changed to gold.Gold and copper coins cannot be used among the people. These coins are bestowed by the emperor on ministers.

The ministers who picked up the money laughed from ear to ear.For them, it is their honor and their blessing to be able to pick up the money rewarded by the emperor on this day of Chinese New Year.

After the ministers finished picking up the money, the drama and acrobatic performances on the stage continued.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, the drama and acrobatic performances were over, and the ministers went home.

At the time of You, the New Year's Eve family banquet begins.

All concubines and princes can attend tonight's family banquet.

The emperor and empress sat on it and received a toast from the princes and concubines.

Of course, when having dinner, the emperor will give dishes and blessings to the ministers.The emperor also gave vegetables to his sons and concubines.

During the dinner, the concubines and the princes could not only toast, but also perform to the emperor.

The princes enthusiastically showed their talents to the emperor, trying to win the emperor's smile and win the emperor's reward.

His Royal Highness the Prince wrote an article and read it to the emperor in public.

Although the emperor often despises His Royal Highness, this is not good, that is not good, but he has never disliked the prince's poor reading. On the contrary, the prince's reading is so good that his brain is damaged.

The prince is familiar with a subset of classics and history. Although he has not reached the point of profound knowledge, he has reached the point of reading poetry and books.Among all the princes, his literary talent is the best.Of course, in order to hide his strength, the fourth prince deliberately behaved worse than the prince.

His Royal Highness performed a long spear.The third prince performed a sword dance.The fourth prince wrote a poem.

Zhao Yao didn't prepare to perform, so he said a lot of auspicious words to the emperor very perfunctorily.

The emperor was very generous and rewarded every prince.

At this year's New Year's Eve dinner, the emperor loved Concubine Ying the most, and rewarded Concubine Ying with the dishes in front of him from time to time.She used to be Concubine Rong.

After the dinner, the emperor led his concubines and princes to watch the fireworks on the city wall.

While watching the fireworks, the emperor kept holding Concubine Ying's hand.Empress Xie and Concubine Rong stood aside.

After the fireworks ended, the emperor left directly with Concubine Ying.

Empress Xie and Concubine Rong looked very ugly when they saw this scene.

According to the rules, the emperor should watch the night with Empress Xie tonight, which happens every New Year's Eve, but the emperor seems to have forgotten this matter tonight.

Zhao Yao took the Eighth Prince and followed Liang Zhaoyi back to Kunde Palace.On New Year's Eve in recent years, the Eighth Prince followed Zhao Yao and the others to watch the night.

The grown-up princes like the Eighth Prince are not allowed to spend the night in the harem on weekdays, except for New Year's Eve, when the princes can watch the night with their mother and concubine.

Zhao Yao dragged the eighth prince to play with Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren.

Pan Cairen sat beside Zhao Yao and acted as his military advisor.

The fifth princess sat beside the eighth prince, blindly instructing him to play cards.

At Haishi, Zhao Yao was sleepy, Liang Zhaoyi asked the Eighth Prince and Zhao Yao to go back to the house to rest, and they continued to watch the night.

Zhao Yao's small body was like a stove, tightly hugging the Eighth Prince.

Thanks to Zhao Yao's small stove, the Eighth Prince slept very warmly.

The next day was the first day of the new year, and it was still just dawn when he was called up.

Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren got up early and made a pot of dumplings for Zhao Yao and the others.

From the first day of the new year to the eighth day of the new year, dumplings must be eaten every morning.

After eating the dumplings, Zhao Yao and the Eighth Prince followed Liang Zhaoyi and the others to visit the New Year.The two brothers had to go to Chengguang Palace to pay New Year greetings to the emperor, and then to Zhaoyang Palace to pay New Year greetings to Empress Xie.

Last year, Zhao Yao fell ill, he avoided being lazy once and did not go to New Year's greetings.I can't hide this year, I can only worship one after another.

In addition to New Year greetings to the emperor and Empress Xie, New Year greetings to other concubines, after all, they are also their elders.

The first day of the new year is spent in New Year's greetings.

In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, Zhao Yao left the palace to pay New Year greetings to Liang Run and He Lianfang.As for Song Jicai and his family, Zhao Yao didn't have the nerve to pay New Year's greetings.

He went to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Xiao, and then took Mr. Xiao to the Dahua Village Villa, where he played with the children for a few days.

After the Hungry Ghost Festival, Zhao Yao and the others went to Wende Hall to study, but this year there was one less person studying, and that was the third prince.After the new year, the third prince will be an adult, even though it's not yet his birthday.

One year older, Zhao Yao found that he read more books, and his second uncle taught him more.

He suddenly felt that growing up was not a good thing.

This chapter is a transitional chapter, and the male protagonist will grow up in the next chapter.

Zhao Yao: Without front teeth, the air leaks when you open your mouth, ┭┮﹏┭┮

Emperor: Come here, brat, let me see your teeth, hahahahaha, so ugly and so funny.

Zhao Yao: Why am I such a bad father?
