The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 57 Never let me down

Seeing many beautiful sisters staring at the fourth prince, Zhao Yao covered his mouth and began to "smile".

Seeing Zhao Yao's treacherous smile, the Eighth Prince asked amusedly, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Yao raised his chin and pursed his lips towards the girls who were staring at the fourth prince by the side of the road, "Brother, look, they are all staring at the fourth prince."

The Eighth Prince glanced at it, and said in a cold tone, "What's the matter?"

"Brother, there are also many people looking at you."

Because the Eighth Prince is not in good health, he is a little weak, which makes his appearance look a bit feminine.In addition, he is thin and looks like a girl.

His biological mother was from Jiangnan, with a beautiful and gentle appearance. Among the court ladies, her appearance was very good, even compared with the concubines.She has always known that she is good-looking, so she is not willing to be a court lady.So, while Emperor Wu of Zhou was drunk, he climbed onto the dragon bed.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't like the eighth prince, on the one hand because he hated his biological mother, and on the other hand because he looked too much like his biological mother.It can be said that the eighth prince looks exactly like his mother and concubine, not at all like Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Every time he sees the Eighth Prince, Emperor Wu of Zhou will think of his biological mother, and think of being tricked by his biological mother.

One of the things that the Eighth Prince hates about him the most is his face.Also, what he hates most is that people say he is good-looking, and even more that he hates people saying that he looks like a woman.

The eighth prince was very disgusted at the curious and admiring gaze of the woman by the road, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.However, he has always been good at controlling his emotions, and will not let his true thoughts be revealed.

"Ignore them."

Seeing that the Eighth Prince's face was a bit cold, Zhao Yao knew that his starling was angry.I don't know why his starling hates women very much, and he doesn't like others saying that he is good-looking.If others praised him for his beauty, he would not be happy in time.

Zhao Yao approached the fourth prince and asked curiously: "Fourth brother, what kind of woman do you like?"

The fourth prince didn't expect Zhao Yao to ask him such a question, he was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm curious, fourth brother, you will become an adult king in the next year, and the emperor will definitely give you a marriage next year." Zhao Yao stared at the fourth prince with a pair of obsidian-like eyes shining with gossip, "fourth brother, do you like it?" What kind of woman, beautiful, or not beautiful."

The fourth prince never thought about it.Now being asked by Zhao Yao so suddenly, he really didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Oh..." Zhao Yao procrastinated on purpose, "Fourth brother, you must like girls who are good at studying." Fourth brother is good at reading, so he must like girls who are as good at studying as he is.

"I haven't thought about it." The fourth prince said lightly, "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not." Although the fourth prince didn't think about his future concubine, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. things.

"Why isn't it important?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "Fourth brother, did your father ask you to marry someone you hate, and you want to marry him too?"

"The concubine my father chose for me must be the most suitable for me." The fourth prince said again, "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not, the most important thing is being suitable."

After he finished speaking, seeing Zhao Yao looking at him blankly, he couldn't help but smile, and immediately raised his hand and gently tapped Zhao Yao's small head.

"You're still young, you don't even understand."

"Fourth brother, do you understand well?"

"I understand better than you." The fourth prince didn't talk about this topic again, and changed the subject to talk about the dinner tomorrow night.

After hearing about the dinner tomorrow night, Zhao Yao's mind turned to the delicious food, and he didn't ask the fourth prince about it.

When the eighth prince heard the conversation between the fourth prince and Zhao Yao, a sneer flashed across his eyes.

Zhao Yao talked with the fourth prince from time to time, and chatted with the eighth prince from time to time.After a while, they finally arrived at the gate of the palace.

The prince dismounted first, and then dismounted on behalf of the king.

Except for Emperor Wu of Zhou who could enter the palace on horseback, no one was allowed to enter the palace on horseback.

The prince asked the imperial guards and ministers to go back.Dai Wang also let his soldiers go back.The crown prince asked the soldiers under Dai Wang to go home and have a good rest. Tomorrow, Emperor Wu of Zhou will present him with a reward, and there will be a celebration banquet in the evening, so that they can maintain their spirits.

"Second brother, father is still waiting for you, let's enter the palace." The prince said to the third prince and the others, "Third brother, you go back first."

"Yes, His Royal Highness."

Seeing the prince and the king walking side by side towards the Chengguang Hall, the third prince smiled inexplicably, then took out a folding fan from his arms and shook it gently.

"Fifth and sixth brothers, would you like to have a cup of tea in my room?"

"Third Brother invites us, we shall obey." The fifth prince said with a smile.

"Let's go."

Seeing the fourth prince looking at him, Zhao Yao was so frightened that he immediately retreated behind the eighth prince, "Fourth brother, you said that you don't want me to go to your room, can you not count your words?"

The fourth prince smiled helplessly: "I want to remind you not to forget to copy the Analects of Confucius."

"Fourth brother, I won't forget, I'll go back and copy right away."

The fourth prince didn't say anything else, and turned back to Xingde Palace.

Among the princes, except the Seventh Prince, Ninth Prince and Zhao Yao did not live in Xingde Palace, everyone else lived in it.

"Brother, I'll go back and copy "The Analects of Confucius" first, see you tomorrow." Zhao Yao said lazily.

The Eighth Prince grabbed Zhao Yao by the back collar, smiled and said to him: "You go to my place, we will copy together."

It was only then that Zhao Yao remembered that the Eighth Prince had been helping him copy "The Analects of Confucius". His eyes that had been dull just now became very bright, and his delicate and lovely face showed a look of expectation.

"Brother, help me copy..." Before he finished speaking, the eighth prince covered his mouth.

"Shh, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to Xingde Palace first."

"Okay." Zhao Yao obediently followed behind the Eighth Prince.

The Xingde Palace is very large, and the princes living in it all have their own courtyards.Once you enter the courtyard, there are more than a dozen or twenty rooms.However, the yard where the Eighth Prince lived was not big, only a dozen or so rooms.

The Eighth Prince's courtyard is located in the most remote part of Xingde Palace, but it is an extremely quiet place.The third prince and the others never came to the eighth prince's yard, nor would they send someone to watch over the eighth prince, which made the eighth prince do a lot of things in his yard.

Walking into Xingde Palace, the first thing that catches the eye is a large garden.The layout of the garden is very Jiangnan style, and every place is very elegant.

As soon as he walked into Xingde Palace, he heard the laughter of the third and fifth princes.

"What are the third brothers laughing at, so happy?" Zhao Yao had never been to the courtyard of the third prince and the others, because the third prince and the others wouldn't let him in.

"Don't mind them."

At this time, Yu Hai came over and bowed to the Eighth Prince and Zhao Yao: "I have seen Your Highness, I have seen Your Highness Ten."

The eighth prince nodded lightly, then ordered Yu Haidao: "Let the small kitchen make a bowl of milk tea for the tenth brother."

Zhao Yao hurriedly said, "Put more honey."

"Yes, Tenth Highness."

"Is there any snacks in the small kitchen today?"

"Go back to Your Highness and do something."

"Bring it to my tenth brother to taste later."

"Mynah is still nice to me."

Zhao Yao followed the Eighth Prince to the study.The Eighth Prince showed him the copied "The Analects of Confucius".He counted them carefully, and the Eighth Prince copied them fifty times for him.

This was a huge surprise for Zhao Yao, he hugged the Eighth Prince, and happily shouted such words as "mynah is the best", "mynah is the most powerful", "mynah is the best person in the world".

On the other side, in the imperial study room, Dai Wang was reporting the great victory in Liangzhou to Emperor Wu of Zhou.The prince was not in the imperial study, but returned to the East Palace.

It was not Emperor Wu of Zhou who asked the prince to step down, but the prince thoughtfully and voluntarily stepped down, allowing Emperor Wu of Zhou and the king to be alone.

Although Dai Wang wrote several letters to Emperor Wu of Zhou before Dai Wang returned to Beijing, in which he described the process of Liangzhou's pacification of chaos, but they were not very specific.

It took an hour for Dai Wang to report the great victory in Liangzhou, and then he looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou with an expression begging for praise.

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled and said, "You did a good job, better than I imagined, and you didn't disappoint me."

Although many people praised Dai Wang for the peace and chaos in Liangzhou this time, Dai Wang still wanted to hear Zhou Wudi praise him with his own ears.For him, the praise and recognition of Emperor Wu of Zhou is the most important.

"Father, when did my son disappoint you?"
