At noon, after school, Zhao Yao invited the Eighth Prince to go to Lanyuan Pavilion for lunch together, but was still rejected by the Eighth Prince.

"Starling, the minister of Lanyuan Pavilion will bring them delicious food from their hometown, it is really delicious, you can go and taste it."

The Eighth Prince understood that Zhao Yao wanted him to eat delicious food, but he was not interested. Even if he was interested, he wouldn't go to Lan Yuan Pavilion. In addition to the four princes he hates, there are also ministers he hates.

He knew in his heart that the ministers in the court looked down on him, the eighth prince, and he would only embarrass himself when he went to Lanyuan Pavilion.

"I'm not going, you can go by yourself."

"Starling......

"You also know that I don't have any requirements for food, and it doesn't matter to me whether something tastes good or not." The Eighth Prince gently patted Zhao Yao's shoulder and said gently, "You go and eat." ”

Zhao Yao looked at the Eighth Prince with an expression of hatred for iron and steel: "Starling, how many delicacies did you say you missed." ”

The Eighth Prince smiled: "I don't care. ”

Zhao Yao shook his head and sighed: "What is the meaning of life without food. ”

The Eighth Prince slapped the back of Zhao Yao's head amusedly: "Go and eat your food." ”

"Then I'm leaving, starling." Zhao Yao waved at the Eighth Prince, and then left the Wende Hall with a gust of wind.

As soon as he walked to the door of the Wende Palace, he saw an acquaintance, Ding Luo of Shang Fangling.

When Ding Luo saw Zhao Yao, he hurriedly saluted him: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the Ten." ”

When Zhao Yao saw Ding Luo, he hurriedly asked, "Is the paper made?" ”

"It's done." Ding Luo looked very excited and said, "The slave maid added bamboo, mulberry skin, rattan skin and other materials according to what you said, and the paper made is really much whiter, and it has also become much tougher and stronger." As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, look." ”

Zhao Yao took the paper and looked at it carefully, and it was indeed much whiter than the current paper. He gently tugged at the paper with both hands, but it didn't break. The paper they use now will tear open with a little force.

He also noticed that there were lines on the paper, albeit very light.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

"It's a lot better than the paper we use now, but it's still not good enough." Zhao Yao said, "I think you can do better." ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"I suggest you do it again and again with the same materials I told you, or you can add some materials for yourself." Zhao Yao seriously suggested, "I think you can try other bark, leaves, or other grasses, maybe the paper will be better." ”

Ding Luo felt that Zhao Yao's proposal was very good. He nodded hurriedly and said, "The slave will listen to you, try them one by one." ”

"By the way, aren't there many kinds of bamboo?" Zhao Yao suggested, "You can try every kind of bamboo." ”

When Ding Luo heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

"I think the paper made from each type of bamboo is definitely different." Zhao Yao said, "Those bark and grass must be the same." If you say straw, you must be good and bad, you open your mind a little. ”

"Open your mind?" Ding Luo asked with a blank expression, "Your Highness, what does this mean?" ”

"It's about using your imagination." Zhao Yao pointed to his head, "Don't limit your gaze to what you are looking at in front of you, you can think more about other things." ”

Ding Luo looked instructed, and immediately saluted Zhao Yao solemnly.

"Slave and maid, thank Your Highness for teaching."

Zhao Yao hurriedly helped Ding Luo up, and said with a smile: "I just made a suggestion, and you are the one who did it." ”

"If it weren't for His Highness's proposal, the slave wouldn't have thought of these things at all." After Ding Luo heard Zhao Yao's words, he was a little impatient in his heart, "Your Highness, the slave maid will return to Shang Fangling." ”

"Wait, how much of this paper do you make?" Zhao Yao asked, "Did you fail to make a lot of paper?" ”

"Your Highness, you are right, the slave has made a lot of failed paper." Ding Luo said with a look of shame, "There are fifty pieces of newly made paper. ”

"Don't throw away the failed paper, you can still use it, you will send it directly to Lanyuan Pavilion later." Zhao Yao said, "As for making fifty pieces of new paper, you can ask Gonggong Han to send them to the imperial study." ”

Ding Luo looked shocked: "Send it to the imperial study?" ”

"Shouldn't you send the new paper you made to my father to see?"

"But it's not the best new paper." After listening to Zhao Yao's words, Ding Luo felt that the new paper he made was not good enough. How can such paper be given to the emperor.

"Isn't the new paper much better than the current paper, send these new papers to my father first." Zhao Yao winked at Ding Luo, "Father will definitely reward you, don't you want a reward?" ”

Ding Luo didn't expect Zhao Yao to let him get the emperor's reward, his heart was full of gratitude, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Your Highness, this is all what you taught the slave maid, how can the slave and maid run to receive the reward?"

"But, you did it, and this is the reward you deserve." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Hurry up and get the reward, and then you have to thank the others who helped you." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Ding Luo's eyes were slightly wet, and he made another big salute to Zhao Yao, and immediately left the Wende Palace.

This scene was watched by the Eighth Prince and Yu Hai.

The Eighth Prince had heard Zhao Yao talk about improving the paper before, but he didn't expect it to be really successful.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Tenth ......" Yu Hai didn't understand why Zhao Yao gave this credit to Shang Fangling's people, obviously it was the people who taught Shang Fangling by His Highness the Tenth Highness. With such a great credit, His Royal Highness Ten actually gave it to others. "Isn't His Highness the Ten stupid?

"The person who still ordered the order didn't dare to hide it from his father, he would truthfully tell his father that the person who taught him to make new paper was the tenth brother." The Eighth Prince chuckled and said, "This credit belongs to the tenth brother." ”

"Why don't Your Highnesses go to see the emperor yourself?"

"Because the tenth brother thinks that he is just making suggestions, and it is Shang Fangling's person who really makes the new paper." The eighth prince smiled helplessly and dotingly, "The tenth brother is still a child. ”

Hearing the Eighth Prince say this, Yu Hai finally understood why Zhao Yao didn't take the credit himself.

"His Royal Highness Ten is really naïve."

"The tenth brother is just a six-year-old child." The eighth prince said, hooking the corners of his mouth and smiling again, "I didn't expect to be really made out of new paper by the tenth brother." ”

"Your Highness, in fact, the Tenth Highness is very smart, you see that he is now asking Shang Fangling to make new paper." Yu Hai said, "His Highness Ten also made stirrups before, and His Highness Ten can come out with fresh and delicious things every time." In addition to not being smart in reading, His Royal Highness Ten is still very smart in other aspects. ”

"The tenth brother is still young, it is normal for him to calm down and study, and when he grows a few years older, he will be able to calm down and study, and then reading will naturally get better." The Eighth Prince's eyes were doting, "He's still too young now, and he plays hard." ”

"Really."

"I'm looking forward to the tenth brother making better new paper."

When Ding Luo returned to Shang Fangling, he told Gonggong Han what Zhao Yao said to him. Of course, Gonggong Han would not object, so without saying a word, he took Ding Luo and went to see the emperor with the new paper he had just made.

Zhao Yao had already arrived at Lanyuan Pavilion and loudly told the four princes that the new paper had been made.

"Fourth brother, look, isn't the new paper made by Shang Fangling very good?"

The fourth prince was also very surprised: "It's really done." ”

"Of course, do you think the new paper is much better than the paper we use now?"

"It's a lot better." The fourth prince smiled and said, "It has become a lot whiter, it has become a lot stronger, and it has become smoother." ”

"I can do better, I asked Ding Luo to try every kind of bamboo, maybe the good bamboo can make better paper." Zhao Yao said to the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, you try to write a word." ”

"Okay." The four princes picked up a pen and wrote the word "Yao" on new paper.

The fourth prince is very good-looking, and very atmospheric, but if you look carefully at his words, he has a sharp edge, just like his people.

Zhao Yao picked up the paper on which the four princes wrote the word "Yao", and found that ink was seeping on the back, but it was not infiltrated very much, at least it was not as exaggerated as the paper used now.

The paper used today is very thin and fragile. Every time you write, if you don't control the ink, the ink will definitely penetrate and wet the back, and it will get ink on the table.

"There's still a lot of ink."

The fourth prince took the paper from Zhao Yao's hand, looked at it and said, "It's much better than the paper you use now." ”

"It still needs to be improved, but like you said, it's much better than the paper we use now."

The fourth prince stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhao Yao's little head, raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Tenth brother, you have done another great deed." ”

"Fourth brother, I just made some suggestions, and it was Shang Fangling's craftsman who made the new paper......"

Before Zhao Yao's words were finished, he saw Sun Kui coming to him.

"Your Highness the Tenth, the emperor called you over."

"Huh?" Zhao Yao pouted and said, "What is my father looking for me?" ”

The fourth prince said softly: "Father must have called you for new paper, you should go with Grandpa Sun." ”

"But I haven't had lunch yet......"

Sun Kui interrupted Zhao Yao and said, "Your Highness the Tenth, the emperor is waiting, you hurry up and go with the slave maid." ”

The fourth prince said, "I'll help you keep your lunch." ”

"However, I still have to exchange food with Zheng Zhengshi......"

"I'll ask Wei Mian to help you exchange." The fourth prince patted Zhao Yao on the back, "Don't let your father wait for a long time, hurry up and go over with Grandpa Sun." ”

"I see." Zhao Yao reluctantly left with Sun Kui.

Sun Kui saw Zhao Yao's unhappy little appearance, and smiled helplessly in his heart: When others learn that they have been summoned by the emperor, they will definitely be impatient, and happy, or go to the imperial study with fear. Only the Ten Highnesses looked reluctant. For His Royal Highness the Tenth, it is not as important as having lunch to meet the emperor.

Zhao Yao followed Sun Kui to the imperial study, and sure enough, he saw Gonggong Han and Ding Luo.

"I've seen my father."

The emperor raised his hand towards Zhao Yao, and his tone was rare and gentle: "Get up." As he spoke, he raised the new paper in his hand and asked Zhao Yao, "This is the new paper you asked Shang Fangling to make?" ”

"I just suggested that they change the material for papermaking to something like bamboo, straw or rattan bark." Zhao Yao said honestly.

"Stinky boy, how did you come up with the idea of making paper out of bamboo and straw?"

"Father, you can think that I am a whim."

The emperor raised his left eyebrow lightly: "On a whim? ”

"yes, I think the paper I use now is made of bark, rags and old fishing nets, so why can't I change it to something else?" Zhao Yao said, "For example, if you use good tree bark, rattan bark, hemp bark, you can also use bamboo, bamboo can also be used to make cloth, and the cloth made is so strong, why can't it be used to make paper." ”

"The bark of trees can be made into paper, why can't straw be made, how can you know that it can't be done if you don't try," Zhao Yao said again, "Actually, you can also try it with other things, anyway, as long as it is trees and plants, maybe it can be successful." ”

The emperor and Sun Kui were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect Zhao Yao to come up with it like this.

Sun Kui exclaimed in his heart: His Royal Highness Ten is really smart.

"Anyway, you won't die, so why not try."

The emperor laughed and said, "Hahahahaha, he is worthy of being my son, and he is smart." ”

When Zhao Yao heard this, he complained in his heart: The stinky father emperor is actually praising himself, it's really shameless.

"What do you want, stinky boy?"

Zhao Yao looked at the emperor in astonishment: "Father, do you want to reward me?" ”

"Yes, whatever you want, I'll give it to you?"

When Zhao Yao heard this, not only was he not grateful, but his face was wary.

"Father, what do you want to do?" Suddenly wanted to reward him, the stinky father must not have any good intentions.

The emperor was angry at his youngest son's vigilant look: "Why, I can't reward you yet?" ”

Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, complained silently in his heart: Your Majesty, who made you often bully the Ten Highnesses before, and now the Ten Highnesses are full of wariness against you. You obviously want to reward the Ten Highnesses, but the Ten Highnesses mistakenly think that you are not kind.

You are really ...... in the heart of the Ten Highnesses It's terrible.

"Can I not do it?" Zhao Yao felt more and more that the emperor was not kind.

The emperor didn't expect his youngest son to dislike his reward so much, and his face turned blue with anger.

"Stinky boy, you dare not want my reward!"

Gonggong Han and Ding Luo were stunned on the side, unable to believe that Zhao Yao had refused the emperor's reward.

Zhao Yao looked at the emperor and muttered with a puffed face, "Who knows what bad ideas you are playing." ”

"What did you say?" The emperor did not hear Zhao Yao's words clearly.

"I don't want it!" Zhao Yao suddenly said loudly, "Don't give me something you want!" ”

The emperor stood up angrily, then walked up to Zhao Yao, took him into his arms, and pinched his fleshy little face hard.

"Stinky boy, you are not so brave that you dare not want my reward."

Zhao Yao said with a backbone: "Don't just don't ......" Before he finished speaking, a small mouth was pulled hard by the emperor.

"You don't want it, I want to give it to you!" The emperor ravaged his little son's little face into all kinds of strange shapes, "I'm mad at you!" ”

Sun Kui saw the emperor's childish movements, and complained in his heart: Actually, the emperor is more like a child.

"How can there be anything like you, I said I don't want to, you want to force it on me." Zhao Yao's little face was rubbed, and he angrily reached out to grab the emperor's face.

"If I give it to you, you must keep it, and you must not want it, or I will beat your ass." The emperor threatened, and then lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite his little son's little face.

The stinky boy's face was flushed, like an apple, and he couldn't help but take a bite.

Zhao Yao's little face was bitten out by the emperor with a tooth mark, and he was so angry that he grabbed the emperor's hand and bit it hard.

The emperor was bitten and hurt, reached out and pinched his youngest son's mouth, and scolded: "Stinky boy, are you a puppy?" ”

"You bit me first." Stinky father is a dog!

"Lao Tzu just bites you, what's wrong." After speaking, the emperor lowered his head again and bit Zhao Yao's cute little face.
