Even though Emperor Wu of Zhou was in a good mood today, he was impatient to listen to the words of intrigue between the concubines. After a while of dinner, I got up and left. When Concubine Rong saw this, she knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou was unhappy, and she didn't eat it, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Empress Xie and Concubine De saw Emperor Wu of Zhou leaving, and they were not in the mood to continue eating, so they got up and left.

Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi didn't leave in a hurry, but waited until they were finished eating, after all, it was a waste to leave without eating a few bites of a good table.

On the way back to the Kunde Palace, Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren didn't say anything, worried that the wall had ears.

"Mother, I want to go to Xingde Palace to see the starling." Zhao Yao raised his hand and patted his chest, and said with a smile, "I brought something delicious for the starling." When Fang was having dinner just now, Zhao Yao took a few delicious snacks and put them in his arms to warm them.

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

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

"I'll give the starlings some snacks and I'll be back." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he took Tongxi to Xingde Palace.

Yu Meiren looked at the back of Zhao Yao leaving, thought of the Eighth Prince, who had always been unfavored, and sighed slightly: "The Eighth Prince is also pitiful." ”

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

Yu Meiren didn't say anything more, took the hand of the fifth princess, followed Liang Zhaoyi's side, and returned to the Kunde Palace.

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

The poppy was silent at the dinner, but as soon as she returned to the Kunde Hall, she became a good speaker. She told Pan Cairen what happened at the dinner party vividly.

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

The eighth prince had not rested yet, he was sitting on the bed reading a book, and when he saw him coming, he was very surprised: "Tenth brother, why are you here?" ”

"I'm here to see you, starling." Zhao Yao walked to the bedside of the Eighth Prince and carefully examined the Eighth Prince's face. Seeing that his starling's complexion looked much better than the previous two days, he felt a little relieved. "Starling, are you better?"

"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 party in Qionglin Yuan now?" ”

"The dinner is over." Zhao Yao said, took out a pack of dim sum from his arms and handed it to the eighth prince, "Starling, this is the dim sum I took from the dinner, it is very delicious, you hurry up and taste it." ”

When the eighth prince saw Zhao Yao attending the dinner, he didn't forget to bring him snacks, and his eyes were slightly sour. He reached out to take the snack and found that it was still hot, and his eyes were a little red.

"Starling, the dim sum is still hot, you hurry up and eat it. It's not good when it's cold. ”

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

"Starling, I've eaten it, you eat it quickly."

"Okay, I'll eat." The eighth prince picked up the dim sum and ate it, and Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Starling, isn't it delicious?" ”

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

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

The eighth prince and the eunuch who was waiting beside him listened to Zhao Yao's description, and both of them were not greedy, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Although Zhao Yao is not very smart in reading and not very good at speaking, as long as he talks about delicious food, he will become able to speak. Even if it's a very simple dish, he can say it's very tasty.

"Starling, 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 what I said, I'll take care of my body quickly, and I'll eat delicious food with you when the time comes." While eating snacks, the eighth prince pretended to be casual and asked Zhao Yao, "Did anything funny happen at the dinner tonight?" ”

"There's no fun." Speaking of this, Zhao Yao suddenly sighed, "The ninth brother and the seventh brother quarreled again. ”

"What are they arguing about?"

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

"Tenth brother, did the ninth brother bully you?"

"Nope." Mentioning the Nine Emperor Princes, Zhao Yao couldn't help but complain to the Eighth Prince, "Starling, you don't know how annoying the Ninth Brother is, he was showing off the Second Brother's victory this morning." He'll continue to show it off tomorrow. "Not just tomorrow, for a long time to come, the Nine Emperor Brothers will always show off the fact that the Second Emperor Brother has won the battle.

"He said he's, you don't have to deal with it." As he spoke, the eighth prince finished eating a few pieces of dim sum sent by Zhao Yao.

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

Although the eighth prince wanted to talk to Zhao Yao for a while, it was not early, and it became a lot colder at night, and he was worried that Zhao Yao would freeze if he went back late.

"Be careful on the road."

"Starling, you have to sleep obediently and stop reading, so that the disease can get better quickly." Zhao Yao coaxed the eighth prince in a tone of coaxing a three-year-old child, "Starling, if you are obedient, I will bring the snacks made by the fifth sister to you tomorrow." ”

"I'll go to sleep right away."

The eighth prince asked Yu Hai, the eunuch beside him, to send Zhao Yao back to the Kunde Palace, but Zhao Yao refused. He had no choice but to ask Yu Hai to send him to the door of Xingde Palace.

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

"The slave maid was driven back by the Ten Highnesses, and the Ten Highnesses asked the slaves and maids to come back quickly to take care of you, and also asked the slaves and maids to monitor whether you were sleeping well." Yu Hai smiled and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness Ten really cares about you. ”

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

"Zhaoyi Niangniang and His Royal Highness Ten are rare good people in the palace." Everyone in the palace looked down on the Eight Princes, and everyone bullied the Eight Princes, only Liang Zhaoyi and His Royal Highness the Ten never bullied the Eight Princes. In the past few years, thanks to Liang Zhaoyi's care and help, otherwise His Royal Highness's life in the palace would have been very sad.

"Mother Liang and the tenth brother are different from the others in the palace." The people in the entire palace are hypocritical, vicious, disgusting, and dirty, but Concubine Liang is the only one who is clean. "How's the Prince's side?"

"Back to His Highness......"

After listening to Yu Hai's report, the eighth prince raised a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Concubine Rong is really a good means, she actually asked the acting king to go to Yangzhou to help quell the chaos." ”

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

"I wish my father really sent the acting king to Yangzhou, but unfortunately ......," the eighth prince shook his head and said, "My father will not do this." ”

"Why is this, if you send the king to go, the rebellious army in Yangzhou will soon be pacified?"

"Although my father is dissatisfied with the Xie family, it is not time to move the Xie family." The Eighth Prince said meaningfully, "Besides, the acting king is coming back." The crown prince and the Xie family couldn't sit still. ”

Yu Hai didn't understand anything, but he didn't ask again.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Ten said to tell 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 will use chicken feathers as arrows." ”

Yu Hai smiled flatteringly at the Eighth Prince: "The slave maid is also for your good." ”

On the other side, Zhao Yao had a small accident on the way back to Kunde Palace.

As he passed by the tree, something suddenly lunged at him. I saw that it had a pair of green and gloomy eyes, like two ghost fires in the dark night, which was very terrifying and terrifying.

Tongxi was startled, and hurriedly stopped in front of Zhao Yao, shouting loudly: "Your Highness, danger!" ”

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

"Your Highness......"

At this time, Tongxi realized that the thing that swooped towards Zhao Yao was an eagle, not a ghost fire.

"It's not ...... The Emperor's Eagle Falcon? ”

Zhao Yao corrected Tongxi's words and said: "It's Haidongqing, and Laifu is the best Haidongqing." ”

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

Zhao Yao held Emperor Wu Zhou's pet in his arms, touched its feathers, and said to Tongxi: "Lingyun has a good fortune." As he spoke, he lowered his head and asked Hai Dongqing in his arms, "Laifu, do you think Laifu is better than Lingyun?" ”

Laifu whispered to Zhao Yao: [Laifu is good. 】

"You see, Laifu thinks the name Laifu is better than Lingyun."

Tongxi: "......" If the emperor knew that his favorite Haidong Qing Lingyun was called by His Royal Highness, he would definitely be very angry.

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

Rifle proudly tilted up its little head and said, "I'm looking for you. 】

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

Laifu was very happy to be rubbed, but he said: "I didn't miss you. 】

"Then I miss you, I'll feed you the snacks made by the fifth sister later."

Rifle said, "I'm going to eat five pieces. 】

"Five pieces is too much, I can only feed you two......" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yao's little face was nagged by Laifu.

Zhao Yao immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'll give you five pieces." ”

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

"Your Highness, Hai Dongqing doesn't seem to be able to eat dim sum ......" Before Tongxi's words were finished, he saw the obedient Laifu in Zhao Yao's arms, and his eyes suddenly became very fierce. At this moment, he saw the murderous aura in Laifu's eyes.

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