Chapter 65: Meritorious

The eighth prince noticed Zhao Yao's small movements, and said amusefully and dotingly: "Tenth brother, what are you doing......" Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhao Yao put his index finger up to his mouth, looked around with his eyes guarded, and said to him in a low voice, "Starling, you be quiet." With that, he secretly hid a few more pieces of beef.

"Ten Brothers......

"Starling, you just don't see it." Zhao Yao folded his hands and bowed to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's fleshy little face, and scolded with a doting smile: "You little gluttonous cat." ”

"Starling, I don't know when I will eat beef next time, I have to steal more now, so I can eat a few more meals." Zhao Yao felt that he was really too witty. His mind turned, and he suddenly thought of a good idea, and then he stared at the Eighth Emperor with bright eyes, and then shouted in a coquettish long tone, "Starling~~~~"

Hearing Zhao Yao's flattering voice, the Eighth Prince instantly understood what he was thinking.

"Okay, I'll steal it for you."

Zhao Yao's little face immediately showed a bright smile, and he said sweetly to the Eighth Prince: "Starling, you are the best." ”

"What else do you want to hide?" A table full of dishes is not attractive to the Eight Princes. He ate a few bites and was full.

"Starling, I just want beef, nothing else." Other good dishes or delicious foods can also be eaten on weekdays. However, only beef can be eaten at important feasts, and it is not eaten at all.

"You really like beef." For the Eight Princes, beef, mutton, and pork are all the same, and they are not delicious. He doesn't like to eat greasy things. When he was a child, he was forced to eat meat, and he vomited when he ate it.

"Beef is delicious, it's the best meat in the world." Zhao Yao likes to eat beef, "You still have energy to eat beef, starling, you are too thin, you should eat more beef." ”

"I don't like to eat meat." When he was a child, the eighth prince was sick to his stomach when he smelled meat. It's a lot better now, at least I won't be nauseous when I smell meat, and I can eat some meat. "If you eat too much meat, you will gain weight, you be careful to become a little fat pig."

"I'm still young, so I need to eat more meat so that I can grow taller and grow up." Zhao Yao said again, "Where am I fat, I still feel that I have lost weight." ”

"Are you skinny?" The Eighth Prince's face showed an expression of disbelief, and he immediately reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's fleshy little face, "Look at your little face is fat, where is it thin." ”

Zhao Yao waved away the hand of the Eighth Prince and said very confidently: "Starling, every piece of meat on my body is my merit. ”

"Meritorious?" The Eighth Prince looked stunned, "Every piece of meat is a merit, what kind of merit is this?" ”

Zhao Yao proudly puffed up his little chest and said proudly: "Every piece of meat on my body is what I have worked so hard to eat, this is my merit." ”

After hearing Zhao Yao's words, the eighth prince almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He lowered his head, covered his mouth and smiled.

The fourth prince, who was sitting on the other side, picked up the teacup and covered the smile that overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Yao saw that the Eighth Prince was shaking violently, and said angrily: "Starling, if you want to laugh, laugh." ”

The Eighth Prince raised his head with a smile on his face.

Zhao Yao's eyes were gone when he saw the Eighth Prince smiling for the first time, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He had never seen starlings smile so happily.

"Is it that funny?" What's so funny about what he just said?

The Eighth Prince held Zhao Yao's little face with both hands, rubbed it vigorously, and said with a smile: "Then I can touch your merits more." ”

Zhao Yao's little face was rubbed and deformed, and he angrily slapped off the hand of the Eighth Prince.

"Why should I touch you for my merits?"

The Eighth Prince pinched Zhao Yao's small mouth again: "How embarrassed are you to say that the flesh on your body is meritorious." ”

"Originally, it was my own stutter, and it was a merit for me."

"You're just crooked." The Eighth Prince didn't expect Zhao Yao's crooked reasoning to be so much.

"Starling, can you help me?"

"Help, haven't I been helping you?" The Eighth Prince quietly hid a few pieces of beef on the table.

Zhao Yao was embarrassed to let the four princes help him hide the meat, but the four princes took the initiative to help him hide the meat.

The crown prince and the acting king sitting in front were still arguing, and Zhao Yao didn't care at all, he only cared about stealing meat.

Among the ministers sitting opposite Zhao Yao, Kong Taichang was very restless. He looked struggling, and looked up at Emperor Wu of Zhou several times. He really wanted to open his mouth and refuse to marry Emperor Wu of Zhou, but now is not the right time. However, this is also the best time to do it. Although opening his mouth will anger Emperor Wu of Zhou and offend His Royal Highness the Acting King, it can make his position clear very well.

After weighing it in his heart, Kong Taichang decided to decline the marriage at this time. When he was about to stand up, Kong Yuan grabbed him.

As soon as Kong Yuan saw his father's expression, he knew what his father was going to do.

"Dad, let's talk about it tomorrow, not today."

"There's never been a better time to do it." Kong Taichang would rather anger Emperor Wu of Zhou and offend the acting king than marry his daughter to the acting king as a side concubine.

"Dad, see for yourself what the situation is."

Kong Taichang heard this, looked around, and then realized that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Kong Yuan lowered his voice and said: "They are all fighting the law, and talking about refusing to marry at this time will only add fuel to the fire." "If he could, Kong Yuan really didn't want to come to tonight's banquet, because he had already guessed that it would be like this.

Kong Taichang didn't like it either: "Then let's talk about it tomorrow in the morning." As soon as the king returned to Beijing, the rivalry between him and the crown prince intensified. He would rather his family be punished than be caught in the maelstrom.

Although the prince's party and the people of the king's party are "swords", they know that tonight is a celebration banquet and can't make too much trouble, so they are much more "subtle" than in the court.

At this time, Lu Cong, the eunuch beside the prince, hugged the emperor's eldest grandson.

The emperor's eldest grandson had just woken up and finished drinking milk, and he was in good spirits at this time, and his dark eyes were very wide, and he looked around curiously.

The prince hugged his son from Lu Cong's arms, looked down and saw that his son was looking at him, his heart softened, and he smiled slightly at his son. The son who was held in his arms immediately gave him a big smile.

The eldest grandson giggled and stretched out a pair of chubby hands to touch his father's face.

When the acting king saw that the crown prince had brought his son over, his face instantly darkened.

The crown prince picked up the emperor's eldest grandson and asked him to face Emperor Wu of Zhou.

The eldest grandson of the emperor laughed when he saw Emperor Wu of Zhou, and stretched out his hands to Emperor Wu of Zhou, babbling in his small mouth, as if to say "Grandpa Huang hug".

When Emperor Wu of Zhou saw his grandson, his expression suddenly became loving. He stood up and took his grandson from the prince's arms.

"Tuan Tuan, do you remember Grandpa Huang?"

Tuan Tuan reached out and touched Emperor Zhou Wudi's face, babbling at Emperor Zhou Wu with his small mouth open.

The eldest grandson of the emperor looked very cute, and Emperor Wu of Zhou's heart softened. He lowered his head and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against his grandson's little face.

The emperor's eldest grandson smiled even happier, and the entire Chaoyang Hall was filled with the crisp and lovely laughter of the emperor's eldest grandson.

Emperor Wu of Zhou sat down with the emperor's eldest grandson in his arms, stopped drinking and eating, and teased his grandson.

The eldest grandson of the emperor stood in the arms of Emperor Wu of Zhou, his calves bouncing vigorously, and a pair of small hands waving happily.

When Zhenguo Gong saw Emperor Wu of Zhou teasing the eldest grandson of the emperor, he patted his ass and said that the eldest grandson of the emperor looked similar to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

The eldest grandson of the emperor does look a little like Emperor Wu of Zhou.

When the prince of Zhenguo praised the eldest grandson of the emperor for being lively and cute, he did not forget to take a look at the acting king. Although his eyes were very flat, the acting king felt that Zhen Guogong was laughing at him.

The eldest grandson of the emperor ripped off the jade pendant worn by Emperor Wu of Zhou's waist and held it tightly in his hand.

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly asked his son to put down the jade pendant, but the eldest grandson of the emperor shook his head and refused, as if to say, "This is mine, don't give it." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou saw that his grandson liked it, so he directly gave the jade pendant to his grandson.

"Since Tuan Tuan likes it, then Grandpa Huang will give it to you."

The emperor's eldest grandson seemed to understand, and immediately danced with his hands and feet.

When the acting king and the Marquis of Xuanping saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou gave the Nine Dragons jade pendant he had been carrying with him to the emperor's eldest grandson, their faces immediately changed.

When Zhen Guogong saw this scene, he immediately turned his head and raised his eyebrows slightly to look at Xuanping Hou who was sitting opposite him.
