Seeing many beautiful sisters staring at the four princes, Zhao Yao covered his mouth and "laughed".

Seeing that Zhao Yao was smiling so treacherously, the Eighth Prince asked funny, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhao Yao raised his chin and pouted at the girls who were staring at the four princes on the side of the road, "Starling, you see they are all staring at the fourth brother." ”

The Eighth Prince glanced at it and said in a cold tone, "What's this." ”

"Starling, there are a lot of people looking at you."

Because the eighth prince is not very good, he is a little weak, which makes his appearance look a little feminine. Plus, he's thin and looks like a girl.

His biological mother is from Jiangnan, she is beautiful and gentle, and among the palace maids, her appearance is very good, even compared with the concubines. She always knew that she was good-looking, so she was unwilling to be a palace maid. 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, he looked too much like his biological mother. It can be said that the eighth prince and his mother look exactly the same, not at all like Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Every time he saw the Eighth Prince, Emperor Wu of Zhou would think of his biological mother and think of being taken advantage of by his biological mother.

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

Casting curious and admiring glances at the woman on the side of the road, the eighth prince was very disgusted in his heart, and his heart involuntarily swelled with anxious emotions. However, he has always been good at controlling his emotions and not letting his true thoughts reveal half of what he really thinks.

"Ignore them."

Seeing that the Eighth Prince's face was a little cold, Zhao Yao knew that his Starling was angry. I don't know why he starlings hate women very much, and he doesn't like others to say that he is good-looking. If others praise him for his beauty, it is too late for him to be happy.

Zhao Yao approached the front of 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, so he was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I'm curious, fourth brother, you will be an adult king the year after tomorrow, and your father will definitely marry you next year." Zhao Yao's obsidian-like eyes flashed with gossip and stared at the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, what kind of woman do you like, beautiful, or not." ”

The Four Princes had never thought about it. Now that Zhao Yao asked so suddenly, he really didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Oh......" Zhao Yao deliberately dragged out his tone and said, "Fourth brother, you must like women who are good at reading." "The fourth brother is a good reader, and he must like a woman who reads well like him.

"I didn't think about it." The fourth prince said in a light tone, "My father gave me a marriage, it doesn't matter if I like it or not. Although the fourth prince didn't think about his future concubine, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about things between men and women.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "Fourth brother, is it possible that your father asked you to marry a particularly annoying person, does your father want to marry?" ”

"The concubine that my father chose for me must be the most suitable for me." The fourth prince said, "It doesn't matter if you like it or not, it's the most important thing to be suitable." ”

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yao looking at him blankly, and he couldn't help but smile, and immediately raised his hand and gently knocked on Zhao Yao's little head.

"You're still young, and you don't understand what you said."

"Fourth brother, do you understand very well?"

"Knows better than you." The four princes didn't talk about this topic anymore, and diverted the topic to talk about tomorrow night's dinner.

As soon as he heard about tomorrow night's dinner, Zhao Yao's mind shifted to the delicious food, and he didn't ask the four princes about it again.

When the Eighth Prince heard the conversation between the Fourth Prince and Zhao Yao, a sneer crossed his eyes.

Zhao Yao talked to the Four Princes from time to time, and chatted with the Eighth Prince from time to time. After a short while, they finally arrived at the gate of the palace.

The crown prince was the first to dismount, and then dismounted on behalf of the king.

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

The crown prince told the Praetorian Guards and ministers to go back. The acting king also asked his soldiers to return. The crown prince asked the soldiers under the acting king to go home first to rest, and tomorrow Emperor Wu of Zhou will have a reward, and there will be a celebration banquet in the evening, so that they can recuperate their spirits.

"Second brother, my father is still waiting for you, let's enter the palace." The crown prince said to the three princes, "Third brother, you go back first." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Seeing the crown prince and the acting king walking side by side in the direction of Chengguang Palace, the third prince laughed meaninglessly, and immediately took out a folding fan from his arms and shook it gently.

"Fifth brother, sixth brother, do you want to go to my house for a cup of tea?"

"The third brother invites, and we should obey our orders." The fifth prince said with a smile.

"Let's go."

Zhao Yao saw the fourth prince looking at him, and was so frightened that he immediately retreated behind the eighth prince, "Fourth brother, you said, don't you want me to go to your house, can't you talk and not talk?" ”

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

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

The fourth prince didn't say anything more, and turned around and returned to Xingde Palace.

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

"Starling, I'll go back and copy the Analects first, and we'll see you tomorrow." Zhao Yao said with a sigh.

The eighth prince grabbed Zhao Yao's back collar and said to him with a smile: "You go to me, let's copy it together." ”

Only then did Zhao Yao remember that the Eighth Prince had been helping him copy the Analects, and his eyes that had just been gloomy suddenly became very bright, and his delicate and cute little face showed an expectant look.

"Starling, you can copy the ...... for me" Before his words could be heard, his mouth was covered by the Eighth Prince.

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

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

Heungdeokgung Palace is very large, and the princes who live in it have their own courtyards. As soon as you enter the courtyard, there are a dozen or twenty rooms. However, the courtyard where the Eighth Prince lived was not large, with only a dozen or so rooms.

The courtyard of the Eight Princes is located in the most remote part of Heungdeokgung Palace, but it is an extremely quiet place. The Three Princes never came to the courtyard of the Eighth Prince, nor did they send people to keep an eye on the Eighth Prince, which made the Eighth Prince do a lot of things in his courtyard.

When you walk into Heungdeok Palace, the first thing that catches your eye is a large garden. The garden is arranged in a very Jiangnan style, and every place is very elegant.

As soon as I walked into Heungdeok Palace, I heard the laughter of the third prince and the fifth prince.

"Third brother, what are they laughing at, laughing so happily?" Zhao Yao hadn't been to the courtyard of the Three Princes, because the Three Princes didn't let him in.

"Leave them alone."

At this time, Yu Hai came over and saluted the Eighth Prince and Zhao Yao: "I've seen Your Highness, I've seen Your Highness." ”

The Eighth Prince nodded his head, and then instructed Yu Haidao: "Let the small kitchen make a bowl of milk tea for the tenth brother." ”

Zhao Yao hurriedly said: "Put more honey." ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Ten."

"Did you make snacks in the kitchenette today?"

"Go back to Your Highness and do some."

"I'll bring it to the tenth brother later."

"It's still starlings who are good to me."

Zhao Yao followed the Eighth Prince to the study. The Eighth Prince took out the copied Analects and showed it to him. He counted carefully, and the Eighth Prince helped him copy it fifty times.

This was a huge surprise for Zhao Yao, he hugged the eighth prince, and happily shouted "Starling is the best", "Starling is the most powerful", "Starling is the best person in the world" and so on.

On the other side, in the imperial study, the acting king was reporting to Emperor Wu of Zhou about the victory in Liangzhou. And the crown 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 intimately took the initiative to step down and let Emperor Wu of Zhou and the acting king be alone.

Although long before the king returned to Beijing, the king wrote several letters to Emperor Wu of Zhou, in which he talked about the process of quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, but it was not very specific.

It took an hour for the acting king to report on the victory in Liangzhou, and then he looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou with a praising expression.

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at him like this, and said with a smile: "It's done well, it's better than I imagined, and it didn't disappoint me." ”

Although many people praised the acting king for how good the Liangzhou was peaceful this time, the acting king still wanted to hear Emperor Wu of Zhou praise him with his own ears. For him, the praise and recognition of Emperor Wu of Zhou was the most important.

"Father, when did the son disappoint you?"
