After lunch, Yu Mei and Pan Cairen went back to their house to rest. A celebration banquet will be held for the acting king tonight, and a dinner party will also be held in the harem. They need to have a good rest in the afternoon, so that they can have the energy to deal with the swords and swords at the dinner party in the evening.

Zhao Yao did not go to Wende Hall to learn to play chess. This afternoon's lesson is a game of chess. In addition to reading, learning to ride and archery, the princes also have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the evening, a celebration banquet was held for the king, and the chess lesson in the afternoon was cancelled.

"It's Zhao Yao in the dream, and the horse they are riding has stirrups." In the dream, Zhao Yao and they sometimes rode out to do tasks, and they immediately had stirrups.

Liang Zhaoyi guessed this, "Although this stirrup is small, it has a very big effect, and it is a good thing." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I almost fell off Heiyu when I went to pick up my second brother yesterday, I wouldn't have remembered the stirrups." The world where Zhao Yao was in the dream had many things that Da Zhou didn't have, and the stirrup was one of them. It's just that he recovered from his illness and didn't remember many things in his dreams, so he didn't remember the existence of stirrups in time. "Mother, do you want to tell your father about the stirrups?" Not to mention anything else, with stirrups, it will be much easier for the Great Zhou soldiers to ride horses in the future, and at the same time, it will be easier to fight.

"Tell your father." Liang Zhaoyi also said this after some careful consideration, "The stirrup is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it cannot be concealed or not said." Moreover, there is no real peace in the world, and there are still many places where there are rebellious armies, and with stirrups, the combat ability of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty on horseback will be greatly improved, so that they can be a little more sure of defeating the rebellious army. ”

Zhao Yao also wanted to tell Emperor Wu of Zhou in his heart, "Then will I tell my father now?" ”

"I'll talk to your father about this in a few days." Liang Zhaoyi said, "The acting king has just returned to Beijing, and the limelight is in full swing, so we can't steal his limelight at this time." ”

Zhao Yao listened, nodded and said, "Yes, then I'll tell my father in a few days." "The second brother just came back, it was the time when the spring breeze was proud, if he talked about stirrups at this time, he would definitely steal his limelight, and the second brother would definitely hate him to death. After a few days, the limelight of the second brother's return to Beijing has passed, and he will tell his father again.

"Mother, if I tell my father about stirrups, then I will be famous." The reason why he pretends to be stupid in reading is to not be in the limelight and attract attention. Once he talks about stirrups, then he will be in the limelight and will attract the attention of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Liang Zhaoyi knew the scruples in Zhao Yao's heart, and smiled at him soothingly: "It's okay." The ministers of the DPRK and China will not change their minds and support you because of this. "The Liang family has no power and power, and she is not very favored as Zhaoyi, even if there is a stirrup, the ministers of the DPRK and China will not look down on their mother and son." It's a good thing for you to make stirrups and let your father know that you're not good for nothing. ”

Zhao Yao understood what Liang Zhaoyi meant, "Let my father know that my stupid son is still useful in other ways, so that he won't punish me for copying books at every turn." ”

"What the concubine means is that if you make other useful things in the future, the emperor and others will not find it strange." Liang Zhaoyi knew that there were many things in the world that his son dreamed of before that Da Zhou did not have, and these things were beneficial to the country and the people. She wanted her son to make the things of the world in his dreams, but if she did make it, it would cause a big sensation, and she was worried that it would make the situation of their mother and son more dangerous. Later, she thought about it carefully, and it didn't have to be dangerous.

The son made stirrups and had four benefits. First, tell the emperor and the ministers of the court that Yao Yao is not a good-for-nothing fool. Second, if Yao Yao does something else in the future, it will not make the emperor and ministers feel strange. The third is that the stirrup will definitely make the soldiers like it, and the soldiers will have a good impression of their son because of the stirrup. Although he will not let the soldiers support his son, if something happens in the future, he may get help from the soldiers. Fourth, the life of their mother and son in the palace will become better.

Liang Zhaoyi is not dissatisfied with the current life of their mother and son, although there are many people in the palace who look down on their mother and son, they dare not bully their mother and son at will. She is very satisfied with the current situation and life of their mother and son. However, if their mother and son's life would be better, she would not reject it.

As a mother, Liang Zhaoyi hopes that Zhao Yao can grow up peacefully in this dangerous palace, and successfully become a king and go to the fief when he becomes an adult, so she makes her son pretend to be stupid and not attract attention. She did this to protect her son, but deep down she felt wronged by her son. At the same time, she was also a little unwilling in her heart.

Her son is obviously smart and outstanding, no worse than other princes, but because he does not have a powerful grandfather, he has to disguise. If the son is born in an ordinary family, he will definitely be able to make a career through his ingenuity and the things of the world in his head.

Actually, Liang Zhaoyi has thought about competing for favor. With her intelligence and means, she will definitely be able to fight for it, and her grace will never be less than that of Concubine Rong. If her grace can be equal to Concubine Rong's, then her and Yaoyao's situation will become very dangerous.

There are too many intrigues in the palace, and she can't be able to guard against them at any time. As long as you don't pay attention to it, something will happen to her and Yaoyao.

With grace comes unguardable danger, and their mother and son live in a trap every day. If her maiden family is powerful in the court, then the emperor will protect their mother and son. It's a pity that the Liang family doesn't have any power.

If she is favored, she will also put the Liang family in Yangzhou in danger. Those powerful ministers in the court and the central government are as simple as pinching the Liang family to death.

She can't cause an accident to the Liang family. Moreover, she doesn't want to live in various conspiracies every day. After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she decided to give up competing for favor and continue to live a peaceful life.

"Huh? Mother, do you want me to make something else? Zhao Yao looked stunned.

"It's not like you have to do it." Liang Zhaoyi smiled gently, "It's like stirrups, if you suddenly think about it, then make it." ”

"Mother, what if I make something more powerful than stirrups in the future?" Zhao Yao originally thought that when he grew up and went to the fiefdom, he would make the good things in the world in his dreams.

"That's good." Liang Zhaoyi said with a smile, "It is more powerful than stirrups, so it must be more beneficial to the country and the people than stirrups." ”

"Maybe I'm famous all over the world at that time, and you're not afraid of the concubine," the ministers won't change their minds to support him because ......of this, but the royal brothers may rob him, and which royal brother he supports when the time comes.

"If you want to make something in the future, talk to your mother first. If it's too powerful, don't do it just yet. Liang Zhaoyi said seriously.

Zhao Yao said obediently: "Okay." He added, "Mother, I don't think of anything else for the time being. The stirrups also came to him suddenly.

"The mother concubine said, the mother concubine does not have to make the things of the world in your dreams. If you think about it later, I'll talk about it. ”

"I see."

"I can't talk about stirrups."

"Mother, you and I can't talk about it, so who will tell my father?"

"In a few days, when you go to the horse farm to practice riding, you tie the stirrup to the black jade. In this way, others will tell your father about it. Liang Zhaoyi said, "At that time, your father will personally ask you what is going on with the stirrup, and then you will tell your father in detail." ”

Hearing Liang Zhaoyi say this, Zhao Yao instantly understood her purpose: "It's still the concubine who is thoughtful." "If they tell their father, it would be too deliberate, and it will make people wonder if they have some purpose. However, if someone else had told the Emperor, no one would have suspected that they had done it on purpose.

"This matter will be put on hold for a few days." Liang Zhaoyi had just greeted Yu Meiren and asked them not to talk about stirrups to the outside world.

"Okay." Zhao Yao opened his mouth and yawned, "Mother, I'm sleepy." ”

"Go to sleep."

"Then I'll go to sleep." Zhao Yao jumped out of the house, saluted Liang Zhaoyi, and returned to his room with Tongxi.

Liang Zhaoyi continued to sit on the couch, frowning slightly, with a contemplative expression.

Gui Xing brought a cup of tea and asked with concern, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liang Zhaoyi came back to her senses and sighed softly: "Alas, sometimes I wonder if it's too unfair to Yao Yao that I do this. ”

"Niangniang, in this palace, the first thing to do is to live well." Gui Xing understood what Liang Zhaoyi was thinking, and comforted her, "Niangniang, you didn't do anything wrong. In the palace, nothing is important to be alive. As long as His Highness can live well, His Highness will be able to do what he wants to do in the future. ”

"Besides, Your Highness also understands your good intentions, so you are willing to disguise yourself, so don't blame yourself."
