Chapter 66: Rewarding Beef

The drama in the Chaoyang Hall is very exciting. Although Zhao Yao has been eating with his head down, he has been watching in all directions with a pair of eyes and listening to all directions with one pair of ears, and has not missed a scene.

Tut-tut, this trick of the prince's brother and Zhenguogong is really high, using children to deal with the second brother. first mocked the second brother for not being able to give birth to a child, then used the child's affairs to sow discord, and finally used the child to please his father, and obtained the nine-pattern dragon jade pendant worn by the emperor from his father. It's a three-pronged move.

Tonight's celebration banquet should have been the highlight of the second brother, but the second brother is now being questioned by the Manchu Minister of Civil, Military, Civil and Military Affairs. Even a man can't accept that he is being suspected.

He guessed that the second brother originally planned to bully the prince's brother at tonight's celebration banquet, but he didn't expect to be rebelled by the prince's brother and Zhenguo Gong.

The second brother and the Marquis of Xuanping relied on themselves to make great contributions, and relied on their father to give Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the second brother, so they got carried away and did not take the prince's brother and Zhenguo Gong in their eyes.

Before returning to Beijing, the second brother and Xuanping Hou planted a big heel with the prince's brother and Zhenguo Gong, but they didn't expect that they didn't learn a lesson at all. thought that the father and emperor gave Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the second brother, and the prince's brother would be abolished, so he became arrogant and forgot the methods of the prince's brother and Zhenguogong.

He had already guessed that the prince's brother and Zhen Guogong would not let the second brother show off their appearance at tonight's celebration banquet, but he didn't expect Zhen Guogong to be so ...... Subtle.

He believed that early tomorrow morning, there would be rumors throughout the capital that the second brother was not good.

Yesterday afternoon, when the second brother returned to Beijing, he was in high spirits, but after the celebration banquet tonight, the second brother's face was gloomy.

He thought that the second brother would definitely show off his martial arts for a while when he came back this time, and the prince's brother would also be bullied by the second brother for a while, but he didn't expect it to be reversed. Not to mention that the second brother underestimated the prince's brother and Zhen Guogong, even he didn't expect that Zhen Guogong would use this trick.

From this point, it can be seen that it is not easy for Xuanping Hou to defeat Zhenguogong. Also, Zhen Guogong is really scheming.

With the presence of the prince of Zhenguo, it will be difficult for the second brother to replace the prince's brother as the prince.

I really can't underestimate Zhenguo Gong at all, otherwise I don't know what kind of pit I will be made by Zhenguo Gong.

The beef on the table was all eaten, and Zhao Yao waited for the next plate of beef. After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait, and his little face was full of loss.

"Starling, do you still have beef?"

The Eighth Prince stretched out his hand and poked the corner of Zhao Yao's right mouth, and said with a smile: "No, you don't have to wait any longer." ”

Zhao Yao asked reluctantly: "Starling, is there really no beef?" "He hasn't eaten enough. He can eat ten more plates. No, he can eat a whole head of beef.

"You've eaten several plates of beef tonight, haven't you eaten enough?" The Eighth Prince said, reaching out and touching Zhao Yao's little belly, "Your little belly is round, do you still want to eat?" If you eat it again, your little belly will burst. "The Eighth Prince is sometimes very curious about how the Ten Brothers' small belly can hold things like that." You also ate a lot of pork and mutton, as well as chicken, duck and goose meat......" Speaking of this, the Eighth Prince suddenly found that Zhao Yao was only concerned about eating meat tonight and did not eat any vegetables.

Seeing that there were still vegetables on the table, he hurriedly picked up some sunflower vegetables and fed them to Zhao Yao's mouth.

"Don't think about beef, hurry up and eat something."

Zhao Yao frowned slightly, looking at the sunflower in front of him with disgust.

"Starling, I don't want to eat ......" Before he could finish his words, the eighth prince fed sunflower into his mouth.

Seeing Zhao Yao's wrinkled face, the eighth prince looked like he was about to spit out the food in his mouth, and immediately warned: "Don't vomit, give me something to eat." ”

Zhao Yao pouted a little aggrieved, very reluctantly, and ate it with great disgust.

As soon as he finished eating, he was fed a chopstick of sunflower by the Eighth Prince.

"Eight pots, no more nests......"

"No, you'll have to take a few more bites." The Eighth Prince deliberately put on a fierce look, "You didn't eat a single bite of food tonight." ”

"I don't like to eat vegetables." He just wants to eat meat.

"Eating only meat and not vegetables is not good for your body." The Eighth Prince said, poking Zhao Yao's forehead, "It's not right to be picky eaters. ”

"Starling, you don't like meat, why are you embarrassed to say that I'm a picky eater?"

"I don't like meat, but I eat some more or less, and you don't want to eat a single dish."

Zhao Yao looked at the fourth prince for help: "Fourth brother, you can help me speak." ”

The fourth prince looked at Zhao Yao, but did not look at the eighth prince, and said seriously: "It's not right to be picky, you have to eat more vegetables." After speaking, he also picked up some sunflower vegetables and fed them into Zhao Yao's mouth.

Zhao Yao: "......"

At this moment, Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up and left the Chaoyang Palace.

There were still a bunch of folds on the imperial table that had not been reviewed, and Emperor Wu of Zhou had to go back to the imperial study to review them.

Even if tonight was the celebration banquet of his favorite second son, he couldn't let him stay a little longer. To him, no one or anything is as important as a matter of state.

Emperor Wu of Zhou put his hands behind his back and hummed an unruly tune in his mouth.

Sun Kui walked behind Emperor Wu of Zhou, and when he saw him so happy, he boldly spoke: "Your Majesty, it's been a long time since the slave maid has seen you so happy. ”

The corners of Emperor Zhou Wudi's mouth raised a smile of unknown meaning: "This scene tonight is good, I am happy to watch." ”

Play?

Sun Kui was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Emperor Wu of Zhou meant.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the Marquis of Xuanping and the Duke of Zhenguo?"

"Zhen Guogong can surprise me every time." When Emperor Wu of Zhou said this, a trace of darkness crossed his eyes.

Sun Kui thought to himself, isn't it? Fang Cai Zhen Guogong's words were really ...... It's unexpected. The most important thing is to embarrass the acting king a lot, and sweep away the limelight when the acting king returns from winning the battle.

"Zhenguo Gong trained the prince very well." Emperor Wu Zhou still had a casual smile on his face, but his eyes were indeed cold.

Sun Kui felt Emperor Zhou's displeasure, and he also knew what Emperor Zhou Wudi meant by what he said just now. He did not dare to answer this, bowed his head, bowed his waist, and followed obediently.

Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly thought of something, a doting smile appeared on his face, and he instructed Sun Kui: "Let the imperial dining room send the remaining beef to Xiao Shi." ”

This headless order made Sun Kui slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Send beef to His Royal Highness the Tenth?" "What kind of reward is this?

"That kid likes to eat beef, and he's been eating beef at the feast." Thinking of his youngest son's behavior of secretly hiding beef at the banquet, Emperor Wu of Zhou unconsciously showed a helpless, funny and loving smile on his face.

Sun Kui didn't notice this, "The slave maid only saw that General Shen had been eating beef. Thinking of General Shen gobbling up meat, Sun Kui almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Because General Shen ate rudely, he was disliked and participated in by Wenchen. "Doesn't His Highness like to eat snacks?"

"I like beef the most." Emperor Wu of Zhou chuckled and said, "Look at the imperial dining room to see if there is any beef left." If so, send it all to him. "Stealing meat at the celebration banquet, Xiao Shi, a stinky boy, is really ......

Sun Kui was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the emperor to be so careful with His Royal Highness the Tenth.

"If His Highness the Ten finds out, he will be very happy."

"By the way, when you went to deliver beef, you asked him if he had copied the Analects?"

If Zhao Yao was in front of Emperor Wu of Zhou at this time, he would definitely scold Emperor Wu of Zhou for being a devil in his heart.

"Your Majesty, do you remember this?" Sun Kui said with a smile, "I'm afraid Your Highness Ten is going to cry." ”

Thinking of his youngest son's aggrieved and angry expression, but he didn't dare to refute it, Emperor Zhou Wudi's eyes were full of smiles.

"It's good for the eyes of children to cry more."

Sun Kui thought to himself what kind of crooked reasoning this was. With a father like the emperor, His Royal Highness Ten is really pitiful.

Returning to the imperial study of the Chengguang Palace, Emperor Wu of Zhou pounced on the fold.

Sun Kui personally went to the imperial dining room and did not send his apprentices.

When the eunuch in the imperial dining room saw that Chief Steward Sun had come to the imperial dining room in person, he was surprised, happy and frightened, and hurriedly asked if tonight's imperial meal was not in line with the emperor's appetite.

"Is there any beef left over tonight?"

"Beef?" The eunuch in the imperial dining room was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "There is only a little left, do you want to send it to Chengguang Hall for supper?" ”

"Send all the remaining beef to the Kunde Hall to the Ten Highnesses." Sun Kui said again, "His Royal Highness Ten loves to eat. ”

"This beef is all fresh, and if it is left out overnight, it will become stale, and the slave maid cooks the rest of the beef now, so that the taste of the beef does not spoil." The eunuch in the imperial dining room was clever, and when he heard Sun Kui's words, he understood that it was specially ordered by the emperor, and he was shocked in his heart, after all, His Royal Highness Ten was not very favored.

"His Royal Highness Ten is estimated to be still in the Chaoyang Palace, and I will come over to fetch beef early tomorrow morning."

"Grandpa Sun, do you want to roast these leftover beef at an unknown date, and then send them to Kunde Hall at noon?"

"Kunde Hall has its own small kitchen, let them burn it themselves." Sun Kui explained, "Tomorrow when the court goes down, I will come over." After saying that, he left the imperial dining room, returned to the imperial study and told Emperor Wu of Zhou that the imperial dining room was going to cook the remaining beef.

Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded.

"Your Majesty, don't you only send beef and not some other things?" It's just a little strange to send beef. "His Royal Highness Tenth loves to eat dim sum, do you want to send some more dim sum?"

"Then send some more snacks." After Emperor Wu of Zhou finished speaking, he suddenly thought that Liang Zhaoyi loved to read, "Give Liang Zhaoyi two books that were made two days ago." ”
