At the end of Shen Shi, Zhao Yao was woken up by Liang Zhaoyi.

Liang Zhaoyi saw Zhao Yao get up and dress quickly, and joked to him: "Why don't you get out of bed?" ”

"I'm going to eat beef." What Zhao Yao was thinking about was beef. He had been waiting for this beef for days. "I'm going to finish the beef on the table tonight." In order to eat more delicious food in the evening, he didn't eat enough for lunch.

Liang Zhaoyi stretched out her hand and poked his forehead, and said helplessly and dotingly: "Don't eat to support your stomach, otherwise you will have a stomachache at night." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I won't eat a bad stomach." He asked Tongxi to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office this morning and specially asked the Imperial Doctor for a bottle of anti-appetite medicine. If he eats enough to support his stomach, he won't have a stomachache if he takes a diet pill.

"The mother concubine is not by your side, you have to listen to your fourth brother and starling brother well." Liang Zhaoyi is a concubine, and she can't go to Chaoyang Hall with Zhao Yao to participate in the celebration banquet. Chaoyang Hall is a special place for holding palace banquets, and in addition to the princes, there are also ministers who will also participate tonight.

Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren went to Qionglin Yuan to participate in the celebration banquet, and naturally separated from Zhao Yao.

"Mother, don't worry, I went to the celebration banquet just to eat delicious food." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I only eat and don't speak." "He only has one mouth, he can't eat enough, and he has time to talk to other people.

"Whatever happens at the feast, don't be curious, you know?" This was the first time Zhao Yao had attended such an important banquet alone, and Liang Zhaoyi was a little worried. "Also, don't be afraid, you know?"

Before the age of six, Zhao Yao had been following Liang Zhaoyi to attend banquets. Now that he is enlightened, he can no longer attend banquets with his mother. He had to attend important banquets or events held by the imperial court alone.

This celebration banquet will be attended by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Liang Zhaoyi was worried that her son would be scared when he faced such a big scene for the first time.

"Mother, what's there to be afraid of, I saw it when I picked up the second brother yesterday." Although the Manchu ministers would come to the banquet, he was not familiar with them and was afraid of what they would do.

Liang Zhaoyi touched her son's little face and said softly, "Just don't be afraid." ”

Zhao Yao raised his hand and patted Liang Zhaoyi's shoulder, and said with a ghostly voice: "Mother, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Liang Zhaoyi patted Zhao Yao's little buttocks, "Go to Chaoyang Palace, otherwise it's too late." ”

Zhao Yao didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly took Tongxi to Chaoyang Palace. When he was halfway there, he saw the fourth prince waiting for him not far in front, so he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the fourth prince happily: "Fourth brother." ”

The fourth prince saw that Zhao Yao's whole body was filled with a happy atmosphere, his whole little face was shining, and a little smile appeared on his always expressionless face.

"I'm so happy."

"You'll be able to eat something delicious right away." Zhao Yao smiled hesitantly, "For tonight's dinner, I have been looking forward to the second brother's return, and now that it has finally arrived, of course I am happy." As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the wrist of the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, let's go faster." ”

The fourth prince grabbed Zhao Yao and said with a smile: "The dinner has not started yet, even if we pass now, there is no good food, so there is no need to be in such a hurry." ”

"Fourth brother, let's go early, you can talk to your cousin." The two cousins of the four princes did not teach in Taixue, but held important positions in the court. His eldest cousin is Taichang Cheng, and his second cousin is Shaofu Cheng.

The Li family learned from the experience of the previous dynasty, and no longer let all the clansmen go to Taixue to teach, and let the outstanding sons of the clan go to serve in the court. In this way, not only can you know the situation in the DPRK and China at any time, but you can also protect the Li family.

"Fourth brother, don't you want to talk to your cousins?" Unfortunately, his second uncle was not qualified to attend the celebration banquet.

The four princes naturally thought. After hearing this, he took Zhao Yao's hand and walked towards Chaoyang Hall at a faster pace.

"Then let's hurry."

When Zhao Yao and the others arrived at the Chaoyang Palace, the ministers had all arrived. However, only the two of them have arrived, and the others have not yet arrived.

"See the Four Princes! See the Ten Princes! ”

"Gentlemen, please get up."

"Xie Fourth Prince."

Zhao Yao saw that some ministers wanted to talk to the four princes, so he said to the four princes very interestingly: "Fourth brother, I'll go and sit down first." After saying that, he left with Tongxi.

The ministers did not react to the departure of the Ten Princes. In the eyes of the ministers, Zhao Yao, the prince, is useless.

Seeing that many ministers were a little contemptuous of Zhao Yao's attitude, the fourth prince frowned with some displeasure. He was about to say something when two of his cousins came over.

Zhao Yao, led by the eunuch, sat in his seat. Although the celebration feast had not yet begun, two plates of fruit were placed on the table.

As he ate the fruit, he observed the ministers curiously.

Zhenguo Gong and Xuanping Marquis were surrounded by ministers. Zhen Guogong's face was expressionless, while Xuanping Hou was happy.

The other ministers gathered around, not knowing what they were talking about, some smiling, some sad.

Zhao Yao sighed in his heart while eating, it was really clear.

Hey, why didn't you see Kong too often?

Kong Taichang, what about their father and son, haven't they arrived yet?

Just as Zhao Yao was looking for Kong Taichang everywhere, the fourth prince came over with his two cousins and introduced his two cousins to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then greeted the two cousins of the four princes.

The two cousins of the fourth prince were very talkative, and they knew that Zhao Yao liked food, so they told him about the food in various places. Hearing Zhao Yao's drooling.

They also invited Zhao Yao to go to Li's house with the four princes when he was free, and when the time came, they would ask the family's cooks to cook some delicacies that could not be eaten in the capital.

After a while, the three princes came. The ministers who supported the three princes swarmed over.

When the two cousins of the fourth prince saw that the third prince was coming, they returned to their seats.

"Fourth brother, I didn't expect your two cousins to like to eat delicious food."

"Well, cousins, they are often reprimanded by their grandfather because they like to eat good food." In the eyes of the grandfather of the fourth prince, liking to eat delicious food is greedy for appetite. Scholars should avoid appetite.

"Like-minded people ......"

Before Zhao Yao's words were finished, he heard the voices of the ministers saluting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The crown prince came with the eighth prince.

The eighth prince and the crown prince said a word, and then came to Zhao Yao and them.

"Starling, why did you and the prince's brother arrive so early?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "Why didn't the prince's brother follow his father?" ”

Every time there is an important event or banquet, the prince's brother will follow his father's side.

"The second brother is by my father's side, and the eldest brother will take me to Chaoyang Hall first." The Eighth Emperor said again, "Kong Taichang also follows his father's side. ”

"Ah, Kong Taichang also follows his father?" No wonder the hole is not seen too often.

"Before the second brother entered the palace, he deliberately went to Kong Taichang's mansion and picked up Kong Taichang to enter the palace with him, and then they went to see their father together." The second brother really can't wait.

After hearing this, the fourth prince frowned, but he didn't say anything.

"Father and second brother, are they coming soon?" Zhao Yao touched his little belly, and licked his lips again, looking like a little gluttonous cat, "I'm hungry and want to eat." "Kong Taichang and his second brother followed his father to Chaoyang Palace, and the matter of being delicious is not as important to him as delicious.

At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids were serving food.

Smelling the aroma of vegetables, Zhao Yao's little stomach growled with hunger.

Seeing Zhao Yao's look of longing, the fourth prince and the eighth prince shook their heads helplessly.

"Father, why haven't they come yet?" Zhao Yao stared blankly at the side door above the Chaoyang Palace.

The Eighth Prince raised his hand and gently tapped Zhao Yao's little head, "It's coming soon." ”

"If they don't come again, the food will be cold." As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wu of Zhou appeared with the Second Prince, the Ninth Emperor, and Kong Taichang.

When the ministers saw this scene, they all showed surprised expressions. They were surprised that Kong Taichang actually followed Emperor Wu of Zhou and them.

Kong Taichang has bitterness in his heart and can't say it. He originally planned to enter the palace with his son to participate in the celebration banquet, but he didn't expect that the acting king would come to the mansion to pick him up in person. Although he refused the invitation of the acting king, he was still forcibly invited by the acting king to get into the carriage of the acting king's mansion, and was forcefully pulled by the acting king to see the emperor.

He knew what the king was doing for him. This made him more and more determined to refuse this marriage, even if he offended the acting king and angered the emperor. After the end of the dynasty tomorrow morning, he will go to see the emperor and refuse this marriage.
