The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 7 Raptor
Even though Emperor Wu of Zhou was in a good mood today, he couldn't bear to listen to the intrigue among his concubines.After dinner for a while, I got up and left.Seeing this, Concubine Rong knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou was unhappy, so she stopped eating and hurriedly chased after him.

Empress Xie and Concubine De were not in the mood to continue eating when they saw Emperor Wu of Zhou leave, and got up and left one after another.

Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi did not leave in a hurry, but waited until the meal was finished. After all, it would be too wasteful to leave a table of good food without eating a few bites.

On the way back to the Kunde Hall, Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren didn't say anything, worrying that the walls had ears.

"Mother Concubine, I want to go to Xingde Palace to see mynah." Zhao Yao raised his hand and patted his chest, and said with a smile, "I brought delicious food for mynah." During the dinner just now, Zhao Yao I took a few delicious snacks and put them in my arms to keep them warm.

The Eighth Prince suffered from the cold and has been recuperating in Xingde Palace for the past few days, so he did not appear at today's dinner.

"Go, but don't stay too long, it will disturb your starling's rest."

"I'll give the dim sum to Myna and I'll be back." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he took Tongxi to Xingde Palace.

Yu Meiren looked at Zhao Yao's leaving back, thought of the Eighth Prince who had been out of favor, and sighed slightly: "The Eighth Prince is also pitiful."

Liang Zhaoyi understood what Yu Meiren meant, but she didn't agree with Yu Meiren's words, but said, "Let's go back."

Yu Meiren didn't say anything else, she took the fifth princess's hand, followed Liang Zhaoyi, and returned to the Kunde Hall.

Pan Cairen has been waiting for them to come back.Seeing them coming back, I hurriedly asked them if they had any accidents and if they were bullied.

Poppies were silent at the dinner party, but became articulate as soon as they returned to Kunde Hall.She vividly told Pan Cairen what happened at the dinner party.

At this time, Zhao Yao had arrived at Xingde Palace.

The eighth prince hadn't rested yet, and was sitting on the bed reading a book. Seeing him coming, he was very surprised: "Tenth brother, why are you here?"

"I'll come and see you, starling." Zhao Yao walked to the eighth prince's bedside, and carefully studied the eighth prince's expression.Seeing that his starling looked much better than the previous two days, he felt relieved. "Brother, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better." The eighth prince looked at Zhao Yao with gentle eyes, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Tenth brother, shouldn't you be at the dinner in Qionglin Garden now?"

"The dinner party is over." Zhao Yao said, and took out a pack of dim sum from his arms and handed it to the Eighth Prince, "Brother, this is the dim sum I took from the dinner party. It's very delicious, hurry up and try it."

Seeing Zhao Yao attending the dinner, the Eighth Prince did not forget to bring him some snacks, his eyes were slightly sore.He reached out to take the snack and found that it was still hot, and his eyes were a little red.

"Brother, the dim sum is still hot, so hurry up and eat it. It won't taste good if it's cold."

The eighth prince smiled slightly at Zhao Yao, then picked up a piece of snack and fed it to Zhao Yao's mouth: "Tenth brother, you eat too."

"Brother, I've eaten it, so hurry up and eat it."

"Okay, I'll eat." The Eighth Prince picked up the snack and started to eat it. Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Myna, isn't it delicious?"

The Eighth Prince nodded and said, "It's delicious, very delicious."

"Brother, the dishes at the dinner party are also delicious, but it's a pity that you didn't go because you were sick." Next, Zhao Yao chirped with the eighth prince about which dish was delicious at the dinner party and how to eat it.

The Eighth Prince and the waiter around him listened to Zhao Yao's description, both of them felt greedy and couldn't help swallowing.

Although Zhao Yao is not very smart in reading, and he is not very good at talking, but as long as he talks about delicious food, he will become eloquent.Even if it is a very simple dish, he can still say it is very delicious.

"Brother, when the second brother comes back, there will definitely be a celebration banquet, and there will be delicious food at that time. You have to take care of yourself before the second brother comes back."

"That's right, I'll take care of myself quickly, and then I'll eat delicious food with you." The eighth prince pretended to be casual while eating snacks and asked Zhao Yao, "Did anything interesting happen at the dinner party tonight?" matter?"

"Nothing fun." Speaking of this, Zhao Yao suddenly sighed, "Ninth Brother and Seventh Brother are arguing again."

"What are they arguing about?"

"Ninth brother said that he wanted to fight like second brother and be a hero, and then seventh brother said he was a bear..." Zhao Yao told the eighth prince about the dispute between the seventh and ninth princes at the dinner party.

"Tenth brother, did ninth brother bully you?"

"No." Mentioning the Ninth Prince, Zhao Yao couldn't help complaining to the Eighth Prince, "Brother, you don't know how annoying Brother Ninth is, he's been showing off the victory of Second Brother all morning. He will continue to show off tomorrow Not only tomorrow, but for a long time to come, Brother Nine Emperors will always brag about the victory of Brother Two Emperors.

"He said his, you don't have to pay attention." The eighth prince finished eating the few pieces of snacks Zhao Yao sent.

"Brother, I won't disturb your rest, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Although the Eighth Prince wanted to talk to Zhao Yao for a while, but it was getting late, and the night became colder. He was worried that Zhao Yao would freeze if he went back late.

"Be careful on the road."

"Brother, you have to sleep well and stop reading, so that you can recover quickly." Zhao Yao coaxed the eighth prince in the same tone as a three-year-old child, "Mynah, if you are obedient, tomorrow I will bring the snacks made by my fifth sister to you." you eat."

"I'm going to sleep right away."

The Eighth Prince asked his eunuch Yu Hai to send Zhao Yao back to Kunde Palace, but Zhao Yao refused.He had no choice but to ask Yu Hai to take him to the gate of Xingde Palace.

Seeing that Yu Hai came back so soon, the Eighth Prince said with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't I ask you to send the tenth brother to the door?"

"My servant was driven back by the Tenth Highness, and the Tenth Highness asked the servant to come back quickly to take care of you, and let the servant monitor whether you are sleeping well." Yu Hai said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Tenth Highness really cares about you."

"Yes, fortunately, there are tenth brother and Concubine Liang's mother." In the palace, except for Concubine Liang and tenth brother who really cared about him, no one cared about his life or death.

"Empress Zhaoyi and His Highness the Tenth Prince are rare good people in the palace." Everyone in the palace looked down on the Eighth Prince, and everyone bullied the Eighth Prince, only Liang Zhaoyi and His Highness the Tenth Prince never bullied the Eighth Prince.In the past few years, thanks to Liang Zhaoyi and the others' care and help, otherwise His Highness would have had a very difficult time in the palace.

"Concubine Liang and her tenth brother are different from other people in the palace." The whole palace is hypocritical, vicious, disgusting, and dirty, but Concubine Liang and the others are clean. "How is the prince?"

"If you go back to Your Highness..."

After the Eighth Prince heard Yu Hai's report, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Concubine Rong Gui is really a good planner, she even asked Dai Wang to go to Yangzhou to help put down the chaos."

"Your Highness, will the Emperor really let the acting king go to Yangzhou?"

"I really hope that the father will really send the acting king to Yangzhou, but unfortunately..." the eighth prince shook his head and said, "The father will not do that."

"Why is this, if the king is sent, the rebellious army in Yangzhou will be put down soon?"

"Although the father is dissatisfied with the Xie family, it is not the time to touch the Xie family." The eighth prince said meaningfully, "Besides, the acting king is coming back. Neither the crown prince nor the Xie family can sit still."

Yu Hai heard half-knowledge, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Tenth Prince told you to go to bed quickly and stop reading."

The Eighth Prince handed the book in his hand to Yu Hai, and scolded with a smile: "You know how to use chicken feathers as arrows."

Yu Hai smiled flatteringly at the Eighth Prince: "This servant is also for your own good."

On the other side, Zhao Yao had a little accident on his way back to Kunde Hall.

When he passed by the tree, suddenly something rushed towards him.I saw it had a pair of green eyes, like two clusters of will-o'-the-wisps in the dark night, very terrifying and frightening.

Tong Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped in front of Zhao Yao, yelling loudly: "Your Highness, it's dangerous!"

Zhao Yao was very calm, and stretched out his hand to pull Tongxi away, "It's okay."

"Your Highness..."

It was only at this time that Tong Xi realized that the thing that was rushing towards Zhao Yao was an eagle, not some will-o'-the-wisp.

"Isn't this... the emperor's falcon?"

Zhao Yao corrected Tong Xi's words and said, "It's Costin, and Laifu is the best Costin."

When Tong Xi heard the name "Laifu", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and corrected Zhao Yao's words: "Your Highness, the emperor's Hai Dongqing is not called Laifu, but Lingyun."

Holding Emperor Wu's beloved pet in his arms, Zhao Yao stroked its feathers and said to Tong Xi, "Lingyun doesn't sound like a good fortune." Then, he lowered his head and asked Hai Dongqing in his arms, "Laifu, You also think that Laifu sounds better than Lingyun, right?"

Laifu called out to Zhao Yao in a low voice: 【Laifu sounds good. 】

"Look, Laifu thinks the name Laifu sounds better than Lingyun."

Tongxi: "..." If the emperor knew that his beloved Hai Dongqing Lingyun was called Laifu by His Highness, he would be very angry.

Zhao Yao hugged Laifu and asked, "Laifu, why did you run out?"

Laifu proudly raised its little head, and said: 【Come to find you. 】

"I knew you missed me." Zhao Yao said happily, then lowered his head and rubbed Laifu's little head.

Laifu was very happy to be slapped, but he said: 【I don't miss you. 】

"Then I miss you, I will feed you the dim sum made by Fifth Sister later."

Lai Fu said: [I want to eat five yuan. 】

"Five yuan is too much, I can only feed you two yuan..." Before he could finish speaking, Lai Fu slapped Zhao Yao's face.

Zhao Yao immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, five yuan for you."

Only then was Laifu satisfied, and rubbed Zhao Yao's face with its head.

"Your Highness, Hai Dongqing doesn't seem to be able to eat snacks..." Tong Xi hadn't finished speaking when he saw the obedient Lai Fu in Zhao Yao's arms, his eyes suddenly became very ferocious.At this moment, he saw murderous intent in Laifu's eyes.

Although Laifu is very docile in front of Zhao Yao, it is really a bird of prey.Its sharp claws can not only kill beasts, but also kill people.
