Before dinner, Zhao Yao followed Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren to visit Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was not in his own tent, but in Qin Xiulian's.

Sun Kui asked Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi to wait outside the tent now, and he went in to pass the word.

In the tent, Emperor Wu of Zhou was chatting with Qin Xiulian.

Sun Kui walked to Emperor Wu of Zhou's side and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Tenth, Liang Zhaoyi, Yu Meiren, Pan Cairen, and the Five Princesses are asking to see you outside. ”

When Emperor Wu of Zhou heard this, his heart tightened slightly. Of course, it didn't show it on his face.

"Let them in."

"Yes." Sun Kui turned around and walked out, and said to Zhao Yao who was waiting at the door, "Your Highness the Ten, Zhaoyi Niangniang, the emperor will let you in." ”

Liang Zhaoyi politely said to Sun Kui: "It's troublesome Grandpa Sun." ”

Grandpa Sun hurriedly said: "Niangniang is polite. ”

Liang Zhaoyi led Zhao Yao in, and Yu Meiren led the five princesses to follow behind their mother and son. Pan Cairen lowered his head and cautiously followed behind.

Walking into the tent, Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou first.

"See the Emperor."

"I've seen my father."

"Get up."

"Your Majesty."

Qin Xiulian, who was lying on the bed, hurriedly apologized to Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao: "Ten Highnesses, Zhaoyi Niangniang, Yu Meiren, Fifth Princess, Pan Cairen, the courtiers can't get up and salute you, I can't compensate you." ”

Only then did Liang Zhaoyi look at Qin Xiulian who was lying on the bed. Although her face was pale at this time, it did not detract from her beauty at all. On the contrary, because a bloodless face adds a bit of weakness and fragility to her, it is even more endearing.

Zhao Yao stared at Qin Xiulian curiously, and then sighed in his heart: She is really a great beauty, and she is not inferior to Concubine Rong at all.

Concubine Rong is a bright beauty, and Qin Xiulian's beauty is just like her name, pure beauty like a lotus.

It turns out that the father has always been obsessed with Si Youying, who is like this. No wonder my father has never forgotten Si Youying.

"There is no need to be polite, and I would like to thank Miss Qin for saving the emperor in the paddock." Liang Zhaoyi asked with concern, "How is Miss Qin's injury?" ”

"Xie Zhaoyi cares, and the courtier's injury is not a big deal."

Liang Zhaoyi looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you not injured?" ”

When Liang Zhaoyi looked over, Emperor Wu of Zhou was instantly a little nervous in his heart.

"I'm fine."

"The emperor is fine." Liang Zhaoyi's tone was respectful, "This time it's thanks to Miss Qin, otherwise the emperor will ...... Your Majesty, please pay attention to safety when you hunt and take care of your dragon body. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou was relieved to see Liang Zhaoyi's expression as usual, but he quickly became nervous again.

"This time it was my negligence."

Just when Liang Zhaoyi was about to retreat, he heard Zhao Yao say: "Father, where is the wolf?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yao's question, Emperor Wu Zhou's first reaction was: "What, you want to eat wolf meat?" ”

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I want to eat." I've never eaten wolf meat, so I don't know if it's good or not. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou was amused by his youngest son's words: "Stinky boy, you are so gluttonous, you don't even let go of wolf meat." ”

"I haven't eaten it, I want to try it." Zhao Yao said again, "Father, can you give me a few wolf teeth?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked curiously, "What do you want wolf teeth for?" ”

"Make a necklace."

"Make a necklace?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked, "What do you do when you make necklaces?" ”

Zhao Yao felt that Emperor Wu of Zhou's question was too stupid, and he almost couldn't help but give his father a roll of his eyes.

"Of course it's worn." Did my father's brain break?

"What are you doing with a wolf tooth necklace?"

"It's fun." Zhao Yao said, "I see that the Hu people all wear necklaces made of wolf teeth. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked back at Sun Kui and ordered, "Go find him a few." ”

"Father, I still want a wolf's skin."

Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, said: "Your Highness, the emperor has already ordered that he will send a few wolf skins to each palace." ”

"How many are there in each palace?" Zhao Yao's little face was full of surprise, "Father, you stabbed the wolf's den."

Qin Xiulian was amused by Zhao Yao's words, and a smile overflowed at the corner of her mouth.

"Don't you want to eat wolf meat, I'll have someone send you two wolf legs, is it enough for you?" Emperor Wu of Zhou quipped, "If it's not enough, how about I send you a whole wolf?" ”

"Is wolf meat delicious?"

"So-so."

"Then just give me a small piece of meat." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "I'll taste it." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked, "What else do you want to eat?" ”

"I still want to eat bear paws, but you didn't hunt the black blind man, so you can only forget it." Zhao Yao's tone was full of regret and some disgust.

Emperor Wu of Zhou naturally heard it, glared at Zhao Yao, and said angrily: "I'm really sorry for you that I didn't hunt the black blind man." ”

Zhao Yao waved his hand and said generously, "It's okay." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled angrily, reached out and pulled his youngest son into his arms, and pinched Zhao Yao's fleshy little face hard.

"Stinky Boy ......"

Liang Zhaoyi saw that the time was almost up, and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Qin needs to rest, so the concubines won't bother." ”

Yu Mei and Pan Cairen hurriedly saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Liang Zhaoyi looked at Qin Xiulian and said, "Miss Qin, you have a good rest." ”

"Zhaoyi Niangniang walks slowly."

Zhao Yao withdrew from Emperor Wu of Zhou's arms, glared at his father fiercely, and immediately saluted: "Son-in-law retires." ”

Liang Zhaoyi took Zhao Yao and retreated.

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the back of Liang Zhaoyi leaving, frowning slightly, with a thoughtful expression.

"Mother, let's hurry back and eat dumplings." As soon as he walked out of Qin Xiulian's tent, Zhao Yao couldn't wait to say, "I want to eat fifty dumplings." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou, who was in the camp, heard his youngest son say that he wanted to eat fifty dumplings, and scolded with a smile: "Is this stinky boy a pig, eat so much." ”

Qin Xiulian said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to have dinner." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou happened to be in no mood to stay here any longer. He stood up and said, "I'll see you later." ”

"The emperor walks slowly."

Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded, and immediately left Qin Xiulian's camp and returned to his camp.

Sun Kui asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want to eat for dinner?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou blurted out: "I want to eat dumplings." ”

"Dumplings?" Sun Kui was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, "That slave maid went to Zhaoyi Niangniang to get some back." ”

"Go ahead." Emperor Wu of Zhou thought of Zhao Yao and said that he wanted to eat fifty, and ordered, "Take fifty dumplings for me." ”

"Your Majesty, will fifty be a bit much?" The emperor ate dumplings the most at one time, more than thirty.

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui: "Let you take it, where is so much nonsense." ”

"Slave and maid, go now."

Sun Kui came just in time, and Liang Zhaoyi's first pot of dumplings had just come out of the pot.

Zhao Yao heard Sun Kui say that Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to eat fifty dumplings, so he immediately quit.

"Mother and concubine don't make many dumplings, and my father wants to eat fifty alone, so what do we eat."

Sun Kui didn't speak, but smiled wryly.

"No." Zhao Yao protected his esophagus, "My father wants to eat dumplings, let the imperial chefs wrap them for him, don't come to rob us." ”

"Your Highness the Ten, this ......"

"No, there is no extra food for my father, let the imperial chefs cook for my father."

"Your Highness the Ten, this is not very good."

Zhao Yao was about to say something, but his little head was knocked off by Liang Zhaoyi.

"The emperor can't eat fifty, grandpa Sun, take twenty and bring them back."

"Twenty, that's too many!" Zhao Yao said dissatisfiedly, "Ten is enough!" ”

Liang Zhaoyi ignored Zhao Yao, and put twenty dumplings in a food box for Sun Kui to carry.

"We don't have much, we can only give the emperor twenty, please forgive the emperor."

Zhao Yao pouted, and said with an unhappy face: "Father, he wants to eat dumplings, why should he eat ours, I won't have enough to eat later." ”

Sun Kui took the food box and thanked Liang Zhaoyi: "Thank you Niangniang, the slave and maid are retired." ”

"Grandpa Sun walks slowly."

When Sun Kui left, Zhao Yao began to complain: "The stinky father must have done it on purpose, he just wanted to rob me of dumplings to eat." ”

Liang Zhaoyi saw that his son looked angry, and reached out to poke his little face funny.

"Blame who, who told you to eat fifty dumplings at the door, and your father heard it."

Zhao Yao's face was full of chagrin: "Blame myself." ”

"If you don't have enough to eat, I'll wrap some more with your second mother and concubine." Liang Zhaoyi filled another fifty dumplings, "Aren't you going to invite your fourth brother to eat dumplings and send these dumplings." ”

"Mother, fifty dumplings for me and my fourth brother are definitely not enough." Zhao Yao said, "I can eat fifty by myself." ”

"You can eat fifty, and I won't give you fifty." Liang Zhaoyi pinched Zhao Yao's little nose, "Do you want to burst your little belly?" ”

"Mother, I can really eat fifty ......"

Liang Zhaoyi interrupted Zhao Yao's words, "Okay, hurry up and take the dumplings, they won't taste good later." After speaking, he handed the food box to Tongxi.

"Mother, and Concubine Li's dumplings."

"I haven't forgotten, I'll send it to Concubine Li later."

Zhao Yao didn't say anything more, and jumped up and down to find the fourth prince.

At this time, Sun Kui had already returned to Emperor Wu of Zhou's tent with dumplings.

"Your Majesty, Zhaoyi Niangniang said that they don't make many dumplings, and they can only give you twenty to eat."

"Xiao Shi, that stinky boy didn't scream?"

"It's called, His Royal Highness Ten doesn't want to give it to you, and said that you want to eat dumplings, so let the imperial chef report it to you, so that you don't rob him of his dumplings."

Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled: "I know. After saying that, he couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and eat it. In an instant, a pair of eyes lit up, "This dumpling stuffed with wild vegetables is delicious." ”

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: It's not that the dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables are delicious, but the dumplings made by Zhaoyi Niangniang are delicious.

Emperor Wu of Zhou ate five dumplings in a row. He hesitated and spoke: "Liang Zhaoyi, she...... What's the reaction? ”

"What's the reaction?" Sun Kui didn't react.

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at Sun Kui and did not speak. Sun Kui reacted at this time, and said cautiously: "The slave maid looked at Zhaoyi Niangniang as usual. ”

"Really?"

Sun Kui said: "The slave didn't see it. "I didn't expect the emperor to be afraid that Liang Zhaoyi would be unhappy.

When Liang Zhaoyi was there, he looked at the emperor quite calmly, but he didn't expect the emperor to be uneasy.

Emperor Wu of Zhou said with disgust on his face: "What can you see. ”

Sun Kui couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty, are you afraid that Zhaoyi Niangniang will misunderstand you and Miss Qin......" Before the words could be stopped, Sun Kui received a cold look from Emperor Wu of Zhou, which frightened him and quickly shut his mouth.

He raised his hand and slapped himself lightly, "The slave is too talkative." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't pay any more attention to Sun Kui and finished eating the remaining fifteen dumplings.

"Your Majesty, do you still want to eat?" Sun Kui said very intimately, "If you don't have enough, the slave maid will go to Zhaoyi Niangniang to get it." ”

"No need." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled and said, "If you go and get it again, Xiao Shi's stinky boy won't give you any of them." ”

"It's possible." Sun Kui thought of Zhao Yao's angry appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "His Royal Highness the Tenth is really protecting food." ”

"I don't know who I look like if I'm so protective of food, and I don't know who I'm like when I'm so picky."

Sun Kui said in his heart: Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Ten is just slamming the door at you, and he is generous to the four princes.

In the camp of the fourth prince, he was eating dumplings with Zhao Yao.

"Fourth brother, dumplings must be dipped in vinegar, so that they are delicious."

The fourth prince doesn't like jealousy very much: "I think it's delicious without dipping in vinegar." ”

"Fourth brother, are the dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables the best?"

"Well, it's the best."

"Fourth brother, my mother and I just went to see our father." While eating dumplings, Zhao Yao said to the fourth prince, "Father is in that Qin Xiulian's tent. I looked at that Qin Xiulian curiously, she was so beautiful. ”

When the fourth prince heard this, the chopsticks in his hand paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yao: "Do you know what beauty is?" ”

"I know, why don't I know, that Qin Xiulian is really beautiful, and she won't lose to Concubine Rong."

The fourth prince frowned, "Do you like it?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yao was asked a little inexplicably, "What do I like?" ”

"Like to be pretty?"

"I like it, no one in the fourth brother doesn't like to be pretty." Zhao Yao took the chopsticks and said, "This is called a love for beauty, everyone has a heart." ”

The fourth prince laughed and said, "What do you know as a child." ”

Zhao Yao pouted unconvinced and said, "Fourth brother, I'm young, but I know what is beautiful and what is not." ”

"Tenth brother, everyone has a love for beauty, but this love for beauty has to be measured...... The fourth prince stopped the chopsticks in his hand and began to tell Zhao Yao sternly about "love beauty".

Zhao Yao was stunned, and he didn't understand why the fourth prince began to teach him.

The fourth prince was worried that Zhao Yao would be confused by beauty, so he had to tell him the disadvantages of loving "beauty".

Zhao Yao listened for a while, and then understood his fourth brother's intentions.

The fourth brother is afraid that he will become a lustful person, so he specially lectured him.

Fourth brother, are you worried too much? I'm only six years old, and I can't do anything even if I'm lustful for beauty.

Zhao Yao listened silently to the preaching of the four princes while eating dumplings quietly.

The fourth prince didn't expect Zhao Yao to understand his words now, after all, he was still young. However, because he is still young, he has to be made to understand that it is not a good thing to be greedy for beauty.

"Fourth brother, are you still eating?" Zhao Yao finished eating thirty dumplings, he didn't enjoy it, and he wanted to eat some more.

"I'm full, I'm not eating." The four princes ate twenty dumplings. Twenty dumplings is not too little for him, though. "You still want to eat?"

"I can eat twenty more." Zhao Yao hurriedly stood up and said, "Fourth brother, then I'll go back and continue to eat dumplings." With that, he ran away. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the fourth brother would have to teach him again.

Looking at Zhao Yao's back as if he was running away, the four princes smiled helplessly and dotingly.

"Your Highness, you scared the Ten Highnesses away." Wei Mian teased, "It's not that you don't know that His Highness the Tenth is most afraid of your preaching. Besides, His Royal Highness Ten is still young, where do you know how to be beautiful. ”

"It's because he doesn't understand that he has to tell him that it's wrong to covet beauty."

"Aren't you afraid that His Highness the Ten will be more and more afraid of you?"

"Tenth brother, he understands that I am for his good."

On the other side, Concubine Li also ate the wild vegetable stuffed dumplings sent by Liang Zhaoyi.

She had very little dinner on weekdays, but today she rarely ate all twenty dumplings.

"The dumplings wrapped in wild vegetables taste really good."

"Niangniang, if you like it, the slave will take someone to pick some tomorrow and bring them back to the palace."

"Tomorrow you pick more." Concubine Li smiled and said, "It's still Liang Zhaoyi, they will eat." ”

"Liang Zhaoyi, they really know how to eat, they also grow their own vegetables, and they are the only ones in this palace who do this."

"There's nothing wrong with that." Everyone in the palace looked down on Liang Zhaoyi and them growing vegetables, but Concubine Li did not look down on them. Concubine Li feels that planting vegetables is the same as planting flowers, and no one is more noble than the other. "I'm a little bit fed, go out for a walk with me."

"Niangniang, do you want to call His Highness to accompany you?"

"Okay, you go and call him."

The four princes also ate a little, and were about to wait for Zhao Yao to finish eating, and took Zhao Yao for a walk to eat. Seeing Qiusang coming to him, he accompanied Concubine Li for a walk.

By this time, it was already dark and the night sky was full of stars.

Concubine Li and the fourth prince did not go far, but took a walk near the camp.

The mother and son started talking about reading. Both of them like to read, even if they come out to participate in the spring hunt, their mother and son will bring books and read them at night.

The fourth prince's love of reading was also influenced by Concubine Li. Concubine Li has loved reading since she was a child and is very talented. Before she entered the palace, she was a famous talented woman in the capital. Her poems and essays were highly regarded by literati and students. Someone once offered a thousand dollars to ask her for a poem.

The poems she writes are very bold and atmospheric, unlike the graceful ones written by other female poets. Her bold atmosphere is also full of compassion, which is very popular with literati students.

The poems and articles written by Concubine Li were snatched up after they were published. The literati students in the capital each have a collection of her poems in their hands.

Concubine Shu is also a talented woman, but Concubine Shu's talent is on Danqing. Therefore, she is far inferior to Concubine Li in the eyes of the world.

In this palace, the person that Concubine Shu is really jealous of is not Concubine Rong, nor Concubine De and Concubine Liang, but Concubine Li. She was also a talented woman before entering the palace, so people often compare her with Concubine Li. Compared with each other, she is not as good as Concubine Li. Some people also say that she is not worthy of comparison with Concubine Li at all, because Concubine Li is a real talented woman, and she is just a talented woman who is "on the sidelines".

Even if Concubine Shu was not convinced, she had to admit that she was indeed inferior to Concubine Li in poetry and articles. However, fortunately, her family background is better than Concubine Li. However, in the eyes of literati and students, Concubine Shu's family background is not as good as Concubine Li's. The Li family is a real scholarly family, while the Xun family is just a family.

After talking about the four princes for a while, Concubine Li talked about other things.

Concubine Li asked the fourth prince if he had any thoughts about his marriage.

This is the first time Concubine Li has asked the fourth prince this question. Before, Concubine Li had never asked the four princes about this.

The fourth prince was stunned by the question, and then said, "Erchen doesn't have any ideas. "His marriage is not something he can decide, so he doesn't have any ideas about his marriage." Why did my mother ask me this question all of a sudden? ”

"In two years, you'll be an adult, and I think I should tell you about it." Concubine Li asked with a gentle expression, "What kind of girl do you like?" ”

"Mother, it doesn't matter what I like." The fourth prince's tone was very calm, "Besides, I don't have a favorite woman." ”

Hearing her son's answer, Concubine Li was not surprised at all, but her heart was still full of helplessness.

"Haven't you ever thought about what kind of woman your future princess will be?"

"Didn't think about it."

"Do you like gentle women, or do you like women with a somewhat lively temperament?"

The fourth prince said expressionlessly: "I don't know. ”

Concubine Li looked at the fourth prince in astonishment: "You shouldn't be ......" This kid shouldn't be enlightened.

"Mother, I just said that it doesn't matter if I like it or not. Even if I like it, I can't marry back and be a princess. The fourth prince really didn't care about his marriage at all, "When I am an adult, my father will give me a marriage, so why should I worry about this." ”

Concubine Li: "......" For a while, she didn't know what to say.

"I believe that my father will arrange a good marriage for me and a good princess for me."

Concubine Li was stunned for a while, then said helplessly: "You don't have a little ...... about women."

The fourth prince interrupted Concubine Li's words: "No." After speaking, he was afraid that Concubine Li would misunderstand, so he said again, "I don't like men, don't think too much about it." ”

Concubine Li didn't think much about it, she just felt that the fourth prince had not yet understood the affairs of men and women, so she would say such things.

"Your father has no plans to marry you at the moment."

"I'm not an adult yet, so naturally my father won't marry me right now."

"I mean, your father hasn't arranged a marriage for you yet." Concubine Li once tentatively asked Emperor Wu of Zhou, and Emperor Wu of Zhou said at that time that there was no urgency in this matter, and he would wait for two years. She knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou hadn't thought about it yet.

"What does the concubine mean?"

"Your grandfather and your uncle want you to marry Xiaoci as a princess, what do you think?"

The fourth prince knew about his grandfather since he was a child, and they wanted to marry Xiaoci to him. He didn't think there was anything bad, and he certainly didn't think anything good. Xiaoci often comes to the palace and grows up with him since childhood. Xiao Ci has a quiet temperament, which he is very satisfied with. If you have to marry a woman as a princess when you become an adult, Xiaoci is a good choice, so he doesn't reject it.

"Yes."

"Do you like Xiaoci?"

"Not annoying."

"Xiaoci is a good girl, gentle and quiet, very suitable for you, but marrying her as a princess will not help you much."

When the fourth prince heard this, he looked at Concubine Li in some surprise: "Mother, don't you agree with Xiaoci to be my princess?" ”

"I don't have any dissatisfaction with Xiao Ci, on the contrary, I like Xiao Ci very much, but I hope that your princess can be born in a military general's family."

The fourth prince instantly understood what Concubine Li meant, "Mother, do you want to ......?"

"I know it's impossible for the four generals, but I want to try their subordinates." Concubine Li said, "General Shen and their lieutenants all have daughters, and they are the same age as you. ”

"Impossible, my father won't agree." None of the daughters of the four great generals married into the royal family, nor did any of them marry into the family. The same is true of the daughters of the four generals.

They do not participate in the struggle of the royal family, nor do they participate in the rights and wrongs of the family. They are only pure ministers and only loyal to their father.

"I want to try."

"Mother, I advise you not to open this mouth." The expression of the fourth prince suddenly became very serious, and his tone was very solemn, "For my sake, you'd better not open this mouth." ”

There will be a shift in the evening.

I'm going to have more and more chapters in the next two days, one chapter updated at noon and one at night.

Emperor Wu of Zhou: Why do I have a weak heart?

Sun Kui: Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be scared sometimes.

Thank you for the monthly passes! There is nothing to repay, but to work hard to update!
