At the beginning of Shen Shichu, after the riding and archery training was over, Zhao Yao hurriedly ran to Lanyuan Pavilion.

At this time, the four princes were still busy in the Lanyuan Pavilion.

The ministers of the Lanyuan Pavilion usually leave the palace at four o'clock in the morning. At the end of the Shen period, the gates of the palace will be keyed.

"Fourth brother." Zhao Yao didn't even change his clothes, and ran all the way to Lanyuan Pavilion to find the four princes.

The fourth prince was sorting out the paper that he had copied in the afternoon, and when he saw Zhao Yao panting and coming to him, he hurriedly put down the paper in his hand, stepped forward, and asked with a worried face, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Lin Xueyi, who was on the side, brought a cup of tea to Zhao Yao very intimately, "Your Highness the Tenth, you take a sip of tea first." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Yao thanked him, took the teacup, and drank it in a big gulp.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhao Yao let out a comfortable sigh.

The fourth prince saw that Zhao Yaoran's little face was covered with sweat, and asked with concern, "Is something happening?" ”

Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, "Fourth brother, nothing happened. ”

"Nothing really happened?"

"Fourth brother, you said before that you would take me to see how paper is made, have you forgotten?"

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, the fourth prince remembered this matter, so he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot." ”

Zhao Yao pouted at the fourth prince: "I knew you forgot, but it doesn't matter, I don't care about you." ”

The fourth prince pretended to be grateful: "Thank you, Tenth Brother, for not bothering with me." ”

"Fourth brother, take me now." Zhao Yao said anxiously, "It's too late to go now, otherwise the key will be given later." ”

"That's why you didn't even change your clothes and came to me?"

"Aren't I in a hurry?"

The fourth prince flicked Zhao Yao's forehead with his fingers, and taught him with a straight face: "You should go back to Kunde Hall to bathe and change your clothes first, instead of running around with a sweat, don't you know that you are not in good health?" ”

"Fourth brother, I'm fine......"

Before Zhao Yao's words were finished, he was interrupted by the fourth prince: "You will get cold, first go with me to Xingde Palace to bathe and change clothes." ”

"Fourth brother, don't you need it......" The words continued, seeing the fourth prince looking at him sternly, Zhao Yao's scalp was numb, and then a flattering smile appeared on his little face, "I listen to the fourth brother." "The fourth brother's fierce eyes are really scary.

The fourth prince explained a few words to Lin Xueyi, and then led Zhao Yao out of Lanyuan Pavilion.

"Fourth brother, is it too late for me to go to Shang Fangling after I finish bathing and changing?" Zhao Yao cautiously looked at the eyes of the four princes, "The craftsmen will leave the palace later." Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Lanyuan Pavilion to find the fourth brother after school.

"There are many eunuchs in Shang Fangling who are craftsmen, and they will not leave the palace." The fourth prince looked at Zhao Yao with an anxious face helplessly, "You can go to Shang Fangling whenever you want." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't expect this." ”

The fourth prince said helplessly and amusedly: "What did you say you were in a hurry. ”

"There's no rush now."

Although it is now June and the weather is getting hotter, the evening wind is still a little cool.

Zhao Yao's hot sweat before has now turned into a cold sweat, and the wet underwear sticks to his body, which is not only uncomfortable, but also a little cold.

The fourth prince was afraid that Zhao Yao would catch a cold after the wind blew, so he hurriedly led him back to his house in Xingde Palace. The people waiting in the Four Princes' House had already prepared hot water, and Zhao Yao would be able to bathe as soon as he arrived.

Zhao Yao stayed overnight in the Four Princes from time to time, so he had clothes for the Four Princes. Even if he didn't, the fourth prince would have someone make him a few clothes. Moreover, the clothes of the fourth prince when he was a child are still there.

After bathing, Zhao Yao urged the fourth prince to take him to Shang Fangling. The fourth prince couldn't, so he had to take him to Shang Fangling.

After Yu Hai learned about this, he hurriedly reported to the Eighth Prince.

"Go to Shang Fangling?" The Eighth Prince raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What did the tenth brother do when he went to Shang Fangling?" ”

Yu Haidao: "He said that he asked the fourth prince to take him to see how to make paper." ”

"Papermaking?" The Eighth Prince's face was surprised, "Tenth Brother is curious about papermaking? ”

"What's so nice about papermaking."

The Eighth Prince chuckled and said, "Who knows about him." Ask him tomorrow. ”

The fourth prince took Zhao Yao to Shang Fangling. Shang Fangling is in a relatively remote and inconspicuous location in the imperial city. The two of them walked for half an hour before they arrived.

Shang Fang Ling is a place that specializes in making utensils. Utensils include many things, not only those needed in the palace.

Knowing that the four princes and the tenth prince were coming, Shang Fangling's great eunuch hurriedly came out to greet him.

The four princes explained their intentions, and the great eunuch Han Gonggong hurriedly took them to the courtyard where the paper was made.

The paper needed in the palace was made by Shang Fangling's paper factory.

The paper courtyard was very large, and except for a few craftsmen, the others were eunuchs in the palace.

Seeing the four princes and the ten princes coming to the paper courtyard, the eunuchs were all shocked, after all, there had never been a nobleman here, let alone the prince.

Gonggong Han called a young eunuch Ding Luo, who was the eunuch in charge of the paper yard and the most powerful paper craftsman in the paper yard. Gonggong Han asked him to introduce the process of papermaking to the fourth prince and the tenth prince.

Ding Luo saw that the fourth prince and the tenth prince were interested in papermaking, so he was naturally very enthusiastic and introduced to them in detail how they made paper on weekdays.

The Fourth and Tenth Princes listened very carefully.

When Zhao Yao heard something he didn't understand, or something he was curious about, he would ask Ding Luo for advice.

According to Ding Luo, the paper used now is made of tree bark, hemp, rags and old fishing nets. These materials are obviously very cheap, but the paper made from them is not cheap, because the papermaking technology at this time is not too mature, or not perfect.

Paper didn't appear very long ago, but only came out more than 20 years ago, so this paper is not cheap.

Now the paper in the whole world is almost the same, regardless of high-grade or low-grade paper, that is, the paper used by Emperor Wu of Zhou on weekdays is the same as the paper used by the common people. However, now there are many families and wealthy people who continue to write in brocade silk in order to show their identity.

Zhao Yao stood aside and carefully observed how the eunuchs made paper.

Seeing that Zhao Yao had been frowning, the fourth prince asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"Fourth brother, have you noticed that the paper we use now is yellow and very rough." The paper in Zhao Yao's world in the dream is very fine. By the way, they have a paper called "rice paper", which is very powerful and easy to use.

"It's always been like this, what's wrong?"

"I have a way to improve."

When Ding Luo heard Zhao Yao say this, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Your Highness the Tenth, what method are you talking about?" ”

The fourth prince also asked curiously, "What way?" ”

"Now that the materials we use to make paper are so simple, have you ever thought of adding something else, such as straw, bamboo, mulberry and rattan bark?" Zhao Yao said, "The paper made from these things will be better than the paper made now, don't believe it, you can try it." ”

Ding Luo humbly asked, "Your Highness the Tenth, why do you say that?" ”

"Aren't a lot of our clothes made out of these things, and I think you can try making paper out of them?" Zhao Yao said with a serious expression, "You can also add other things, I think you can try them one by one, maybe you can make a beautiful white paper." ”

"White paper?"

"Yes, paper as white as snow." Zhao Yao recalled the rice paper of Zhao Yao's world in his dream, and said, "There is still a beautiful texture on the paper, and the pen will not soak the back or anything." ”

The kind of paper that Zhao Yao said was exactly what Ding Luo wanted to make, but he couldn't think of a way. Hearing Zhao Yao say this now, his brain seemed to be suddenly opened.

"Paper made of mulberry bark, bamboo, and straw is sure to be very strong, and I highly recommend you try it."

Ding Luo hurriedly saluted and said, "What His Highness Ten said, the slave and maid will definitely try them one by one." ”

Zhao Yao said with confidence on his face: "Believe me, the paper made from these things will definitely be very good." ”

The fourth prince said to Gonggong Han and Ding Luo: "Ten brothers said so, then you can try them all." ”

"Yes, Fourth Highness."

Zhao Yao looked at the paper yard for a while, and then followed the four princes out of the paper yard.

As soon as the fourth prince wanted to say something, he heard Zhao Yao ask Han Gonggong: "Is there any cement in Shang Fangling?" ”

Han Gonggong said in a respectful tone: "Yes, do you want it for Your Highness Ten?" “

"I want it to make something." Zhao Yao asked again, "Are there any craftsmen in Shang Fangling who are good at carving characters?" ”

"There are a lot of them."

"You choose a good one and come to me tomorrow at noon." Zhao Yao commanded again, "It's best to be a eunuch." "If it's a normal craftsman, you have to leave the palace at the end of Shen Shi. If it was a eunuch, he could call him at any time.

"The slave will definitely choose a eunuch with good carving skills for you."

Zhao Yao nodded and didn't say anything more.

Gonggong Han asked in a respectful tone, "Your Highness the Tenth, do you have any other orders?" ”

Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "No." ”

When the fourth prince saw that Zhao Yao was fine, he said to him, "Let's go back." ”

Gonggong Han respectfully sent Zhao Yao and the four princes out of Shang Fangling.

"Tenth brother, those things you said can really make good paper?"

"Yes, very much." Zhao Yao said categorically, "Fourth brother, just wait and see." ”

"Tenth brother, why are you so sure?" The fourth prince asked with a puzzled expression, "How did you know that these things can make paper, and they can also make very good paper?" ”

"Fourth brother, I dreamed of it." Zhao Yao didn't lie, he did dream about it.

"Dreaming about it?" The fourth prince was a little stunned.

"I really dreamed about it, I didn't lie to you, fourth brother." Zhao Yao's expression looked extremely sincere.

The fourth prince looked at Zhao Yao, then asked with a smile, "How could you dream of this?" ”

"I don't know, I just dreamed it out of a sudden way." Zhao Yao said seriously, "Then I want to try it, maybe it really happens." ”

The fourth prince could see that Zhao Yao didn't lie anymore, and he didn't have any doubts about Zhao Yao's words in his heart.

"What are you going to do with the cement?"

"Fourth brother, I want to make something with cement, if it is made, it will be a good thing." Zhao Yao smiled slightly at the fourth prince, and said mysteriously, "Fourth brother, when I get it out, I will be the first to tell you, and you will definitely be scared to death at that time." ”

"Scared to death?" The fourth prince laughed and said, "What scary thing are you going to do here?" ”

"Fourth brother, you'll know when the time comes."

"Then I'll wait."

Zhao Yao was just about to say something more, when his little belly gurgled and rang.

"Fourth brother, I'm hungry."

The fourth prince stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhao Yao's little head, and said with a smile: "Go back to dinner." ”

Back in the house of the four princes of Xingde Palace, Zhao Yao had dinner with the four princes and told the four princes what he had done outside the palace in the past few days.

A simple thing, what Zhao Yao can say is very interesting and funny, which makes the four princes and Wei Mian laugh non-stop.

The fourth prince sighed in his heart that a trivial little thing in life would become a fun thing in the eyes of the tenth brother.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of Zhou was having dinner in the Kunde Palace.

Emperor Wu of Zhou knew in her heart that if Liang Zhaoyi was fine, she would not take the initiative to send someone to invite him to the Kunde Hall for dinner.

Liang Zhaoyi made a table of home-cooked food that Emperor Zhou Wu loved to eat on weekdays. During this time, the weather became a lot hotter, and Emperor Wu of Zhou's appetite became not very good.

As soon as the weather is hot, Emperor Wu of Zhou's appetite will become bad.

No matter what dishes are made in the imperial dining room, Emperor Wu of Zhou can't be allowed to eat a few more bites. Only the food cooked by Liang Zhaoyi could make Emperor Wu of Zhou's appetite better.

During dinner, Liang Zhaoyi didn't say anything, but kept serving dishes to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Sun Kui saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou had eaten two bowls of rice and drank two bowls of soup, and his appetite was great, and he was very curious: Is there any trick to the food made by Zhaoyi Niangniang, so that the emperor can love it so much?

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't stop until he was exhausted.

Liang Zhaoyi was afraid that Emperor Wu of Zhou would not be able to sleep at night, so he asked Emperor Wu of Zhou to go to the courtyard to take a walk and eat.

Emperor Wu of Zhou took Liang Zhaoyi's hand and walked slowly: "What did that stinky boy do Xiao Shi?" ”

"He Lianfang wants to help Yao Yao cultivate power, and she also wants to help Yao Yao cultivate fine work."

When Emperor Wu of Zhou heard this, he was not surprised at all.

"I didn't expect him to move so fast."

When Liang Zhaoyi heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou in surprise: "You know? ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou bowed slightly: "Well, I already knew that He Lianfang wanted to assist Xiao Shi to take the throne, and then let Xiao Shi rebel against me." ”

Liang Zhaoyi was shocked: "Then you still let Yao Yao get close to He Lianfang?" ”

"It's not me who let it, but Xiao Shi who approached He Lianfang by himself." Emperor Wu of Zhou said gently, "He Lianfang made a bet with me. ”

"What bet?"

"Just bet on whether Xiao Shi will rebel against me in the future." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled and said, "He Lianfang will do her best to assist Xiao Shi, and then instigate Xiao Shi to rebel against me." He was sure that Xiao Shi would get his wish, and I bet that Xiao Shi would not get his wish. ”

Liang Zhaoyi glared at Emperor Wu of Zhou coquettishly: "You know Xiao Shi's thoughts, why do you want He Lianfang to assist Yaoyao?" ”

"He wants to help Xiao Shi, why should I refuse." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled profoundly, "I hope that Xiao Shi can get his wish." ”

"Little Ten doesn't like that seat as much as you do."

"Otherwise, how could it be my son?" He has ten sons, and only Xiao Shi, a stinky boy, is the most like him. "This stinky boy has done a lot of things out of the palace this time."

"It's done a lot." Liang Zhaoyi told Emperor Wu of Zhou everything Zhao Yao did when he left the palace this time, including the matter of soap.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou was shocked on his face, and immediately smiled: "He is worthy of being my son!" "Xiao Shi, this stinky boy is not small, he can let Mr. Xiao use it for him." This stinky boy's brain is really clever, and he can come up with a way to pay tribute. ”

"Is it really okay for He Lianfang to help Yaoyao?" Liang Zhaoyi didn't believe He Lianfang very much, after all, this person was crazy.

"It's okay, he will faithfully assist Xiao Shi." Emperor Wu of Zhou appeased Liang Zhaoyi and said, "Everything is under my control, nothing will happen." ”

Hearing Emperor Wu of Zhou say this, Liang Zhaoyi felt relieved.

"Don't worry about your second brother and them, I will send someone to protect them secretly." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, with a relieved smile on his face, "After Xiao Shi, this stinky boy heard about the Xiongnu, he thought of forming a caravan to go to the countries of the Western Regions to do business, and quietly inquired about the news of the Xiongnu, which is better than many people." "Among the sons, only Xiao Shi, a stinky boy, has always cared about the affairs of the Huns. was said to be the most like his second son, and he didn't care about the new Shan Yu.

"He also said that when he grows up, he must drive the Huns far away, so that the Huns will not dare to have the idea of going south for decades, or even hundreds of years."

"Ambitious, worthy of being my son." Emperor Wu of Zhou thought the same thing. "I'll arrange someone to help Xiao Shi."

Liang Zhaoyi understood what Emperor Wu Zhou meant, and nodded.

"This stinky boy says he's smart, he's smarter than a lot of people, but he really thinks he's doing these things, I don't know?"

"He really thinks so."

Emperor Wu of Zhou sneered: "After all, he is still a child. ”

Liang Zhaoyi said with a smile: "Yao Yao was originally a child. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou walked with Liang Zhaoyi for a while, talked for a while, and then left the Kunde Hall and returned to the imperial study.

Empress Xie and Concubine Rong were relieved to learn that Emperor Wu of Zhou had only had dinner in the Kunde Hall and did not stay overnight in the Kunde Palace. At the same time, he ridiculed Liang Zhaoyi for not measuring his own strength.

They thought that Liang Zhaoyi invited Emperor Wu of Zhou to go to the Kunde Hall for dinner, because he wanted to compete for favor, but he didn't expect Emperor Wu of Zhou to go back after dinner, why didn't he call them jokes.

Sun Doudou saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou had returned, and hurriedly asked his master: "Master, why didn't the emperor stay in the Kunde Palace?" ”

"What do you say?"

Sun Doudou looked dazed: "I don't know." It is rare for Zhaoyi Niangniang to take the initiative to invite the emperor to go to the Kunde Hall for dinner, it stands to reason that the emperor should stay in the Kunde Palace, but the emperor does not, is the emperor ...... Zhaoyi Niangniang"

Before he finished his words, Sun Kui hit his head hard: "What nonsense." ”

"The emperor ......"

Sun Kui glared at Sun Doudou and said in a stern tone, "This is not something you should ask. ”

"Master, the other ladies in the palace saw that Zhaoyi Niangniang tried her best to invite the emperor to go to the Kunde Hall for dinner, but the emperor did not stay in the Kunde Palace, and the other ladies would laugh at Zhaoyi Niangniang."

"Do you think Zhaoyi Niangniang will care?" Sun Kui sneered, "Other mothers laugh at Zhaoyi Niangniang, but they don't know that they are the most ridiculous." ”

Happy May Day, old irons!

There is also a shift in the evening!

Asking for a monthly ticket and a reward for a big holiday will be too shameless?
