The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 59 Whoever treats me well is a good person
Zhao Yao originally planned to go back to the palace and go to the secret base to train dogs and cats, but he forgot to punish him for copying "The Analects of Confucius".There are only a few days before the one-month period, and nothing is more important than copying "The Analects of Confucius".

In the evening, Zhao Yao directly stayed in the Eighth Prince's room for dinner.Before dinner, he had been seriously copying "The Analects of Confucius".The Eighth Prince has also been helping him to copy.

At this time, Zhao Yao was having dinner with the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince specially asked the small kitchen to cook some of Zhao Yao's favorite dishes.Perhaps because he was tired from copying "The Analects of Confucius", or because he was hungry when he went out of the city to meet the king, Zhao Yao lowered his head and started cooking.

Seeing that Zhao Yao ate so deliciously, the Eighth Prince's appetite improved a lot, and he ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.The Eighth Prince's appetite has always been very small, and he only eats one bowl of rice for each meal.His small meals were due to a starvation in his stomach when he was very young.

When he was young, his mother and concubine were not favored by Emperor Wu of Zhou. People in the palace used to make trouble, so they bullied their mother and child in every possible way, often refusing to feed them.Even if they are given, most of them are bad food and bad food.

In the past few years, although the eighth prince has been taking care of his stomach, his stomach disease is too serious to be cured completely.Fortunately, his stomach is not as painful as when he was a child, but he can't eat and drink like Zhao Yao.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince had an extra bowl of rice tonight, Yu Hai was worried that he would have a stomachache in the middle of the night, so he quickly took a pill for the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince did not refuse, and drank the pill with the soup.

Zhao Yao looked at the eighth prince very sympathetically: "Myna, you can't eat more delicious food, it's really too pitiful." Alas, myna was really pitiful when he was a child.

"You can't eat too much, your stomach will be damaged, and you won't be able to eat delicious food in the future."

"Brother, I'm still young, and I'm still growing. I need to eat more so that I can grow taller." Although he was greedy, he never dared to spoil his stomach anymore, or the concubine would punish him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he asked Yu Hai to serve him another bowl of rice.

After eating three bowls of rice, Zhao Yao was full.In fact, he can still eat, but if he eats again, he will fill his stomach, so he dare not eat any more.

Although Zhao Yao said that he was not fed up, the Eighth Prince was worried.After dinner, he took Zhao Yao to the yard for a walk to digest.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I heard singing and laughter faintly from a distance.Zhao Yao stopped and looked curiously in the direction of the singing.

"Brother, what's wrong with the third brother and the others? Why are they so interested and still drinking and having fun?"

"Don't worry about them." The eighth prince frowned slightly, and said with a disgusted expression, "These days, they have always been like this."

Yu Hai, who was waiting at the side, interjected: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince and the others start drinking and having fun every day when they come back from school, and they don't stop until Haishi."

"Ah?" Zhao Yao looked surprised, "Third Brother and the others weren't like this before." When he came to Xingde Palace before, he didn't see Third Brother and the others having a feast for fun.

"It just started a few days ago."

"Could it be because the second brother came back, so the third brother and the others are very happy?" For the third brother and the others, it is indeed a good thing for the second brother to return to Beijing.Because the second brother is back, the third brother and the others can do things easily.

"Perhaps." The eighth prince didn't know what he thought of, and there was a look of disgust on his face. "Tenth brother, stay away from third brother and the others from now on, don't get too close to them."

Zhao Yao didn't know why the Eighth Prince said that.He shrugged his shoulders and said to the Eighth Prince: "Brother, even if I want to get close to the third brother and the others, the third brother and the others will not let me get close." The third brother and the fifth brother look down on him as a young brother. "Besides, why should I get close to them? They're not good." The third brother and the others relied on their maternal ancestral family being a famous family, and they thought they were nobler than him and mynah, so they never looked down on him and mynah.I'm afraid that the third brother and the others look down on the second brother, after all, the second brother's maternal ancestral family is not a powerful family.The only family that is better than the third brother's maternal ancestor's family is the Xie family, the maternal ancestor's family of the crown prince and the seventh prince.

No matter how powerful the Wang family, Xun family, and Yuan family are, they are much inferior compared to the Xie family.

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, the Eighth Prince felt relieved.

"Third brother and the others are not good, so who do you think is better?"

Zhao Yao said without hesitation: "Of course you are the best starling."

When the eighth prince heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to gently pinch Zhao Yao's face, "I didn't hurt you in vain."

"Fourth brother is also good." Zhao Yao added.

When the Eighth Prince heard this, the arc of the corner of his mouth disappeared immediately.He had always disliked the pretentious fourth prince, and he didn't understand the good of being so prudish.However, Zhao Yao likes the fourth prince, so he can't say anything.

"Who else is good?"

Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and said, "Mother Concubine, Second Mother Concubine, Third Mother Concubine, Fifth Sister, Mr. Xiao, and Tongxi and Tongle." After speaking, he saw Yu Hai, and said, "There is also Yu Hai .”

Yu Hai didn't expect that he was a good person in Zhao Yao's eyes, which made him very flattered.He hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your compliment."

"Whoever treats me well is a good person."

"I thought you hated Mr. Xiao very much, but I didn't expect you to think Mr. Xiao is a good person." The eighth prince said in surprise.

Mr. Xiao is one of the eight princes' teachers.He mainly taught Zhao Yao their "Shangshu".He is old-fashioned, and he is very serious in teaching the princes.No matter who made a mistake in class, he would severely criticize him, even slap his palm, completely unafraid of the high-ranking princes.

Although Zhao Yao was the stupidest student among the princes, Mr. Xiao did not dislike him as a student because of this.On the contrary, Mr. Xiao was very patient with him.If there is anything he doesn't understand, Mr. Xiao will teach him until he understands it.

Mr. Xiao also often encouraged Zhao Yao, and advised him not to feel inferior because of his stupidity.In Zhao Yao's heart, Mr. Xiao is a very good teacher.

"Mr. Xiao is a good person. He doesn't dislike my stupidity at all." In the entire palace, except for the concubine and starlings, Mr. Xiao is the only one who doesn't dislike his stupidity.As for the other gentlemen, although they hid it well, he could see their dislike for him.

"Really?" Mr. Xiao didn't dislike Zhao Yao's stupidity, but he didn't like the Eighth Prince.The Eighth Prince felt that Mr. Xiao looked down on his origin just like everyone else.

Hearing that the eighth prince's tone was a bit cold, Zhao Yao remembered that Mr. Xiao didn't like the eighth prince.He quickly changed the subject to talk about something else.

The Eighth Prince followed his words and didn't say anything about Mr. Xiao.

The two walked in the yard for more than half an hour before returning to the study to continue copying "The Analects of Confucius".

At four quarters of the hour, Zhao Yao left Xingde Palace with Tong Xi.On the way back to Kunde Hall, I heard someone crying.

The way back to Kunde Hall was a bit remote, and it was late at night, when he heard crying suddenly, Tong Xideng's scalp felt numb.

"Your Highness, are people crying, or ghosts crying?"

Seeing Tong Xi's frightened face, Zhao Yao made fun of him and said, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm afraid...Your Highness, let's go quickly."

"There are no ghosts in this world." Zhao Yao said, walking towards the direction where the crying sound came from.

"Your Highness..." Tong Xi was terrified, but had to keep up with Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao followed the crying and found a crying eunuch in a corner.

The eunuch turned his back to Zhao Yao and the others, hugged his legs with both hands, and shrank himself into a ball, crying so sadly that he didn't even hear Zhao Yao's footsteps.

"Why are you crying?" Zhao Yao asked.

The eunuch was crying, when he heard someone talking suddenly, he was so frightened that he almost screamed.Seeing that it was Zhao Yao who came, he hurriedly saluted Zhao Yao: "I have seen His Majesty the Tenth Highness."

By the moonlight, Zhao Yao found that the eunuch in front of him was very handsome.

"Why are you hiding here and crying alone, have you been bullied?"

The eunuch quickly lowered his head, and said in fear: "No, no, the servant has not been bullied."

As soon as he lowered his head, Zhao Yao saw the red marks on his neck, big and small.It didn't look like it was stared at by mosquitoes, nor did it look like it was pinched by hands.

"What's your name, and which palace are you from?"

The eunuch knelt on the ground without speaking.

Tong Xi remembered: "Your Highness, he is the eunuch next to the Third Prince."

"The people around Third Brother?"

"He used to be the eunuch next to the fifth prince, but he was given to the third prince by the fifth prince." Tong Xi introduced, "I heard that he is good at painting, so the third prince asked the fifth prince for him."

"You belong to the third brother, why did you come here?"

"Slave, slave girl..." The eunuch trembled, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Seeing the eunuch kneeling on the ground, he was shaking violently.Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, he asked: "Are you afraid of the third brother?"

　On the last day of this month, continue to humbly ask the veterans for monthly tickets!
