The ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion liked Zhao Yao very much, and when they learned that today was his birthday, they all prepared birthday gifts for him. Of course, they didn't dare to send some valuable things, so they sent some hometown delicacies, all of which Zhao Yao loves to eat on weekdays.

Zhao Yao didn't expect that the ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion would give him birthday gifts, and they were all his favorite foods, which made him very surprised.

The ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion saw Zhao Yao happily accepting the birthday gifts they had given them, and thanked them ceremoniously, which made them very moved in their hearts, and they liked Zhao Yao more and more.

Who doesn't like a child who looks cute, sweet-mouthed, and knows how to be polite and grateful.

In the History Repair Museum, Zhao Yao saw the fourth prince and unceremoniously stretched out his hand to him: "Fourth brother, where is my birthday gift?" ”

Seeing Zhao Yao so unceremoniously looking for him and reaching out for a birthday gift, the fourth prince reached out and pinched his fleshy and cute little face.

"Did you ask someone for a birthday gift so directly?"

"Fourth brother, I'm polite to you." Zhao Yao grinned at the fourth prince and smiled very brightly, "Fourth brother, I'm looking forward to your gift very much, hurry up and give it to me." ”

The fourth prince gently slapped Zhao Yao's palm, and said funny and doting: "Don't worry, your birthday gift is indispensable." “

Zhao Yao suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he looked at the fourth prince vigilantly: "Fourth brother, if you give me a script, I will be angry." He was afraid that the fourth prince would not take his words to heart, so he emphasized again, "I'm really going to be angry." Fourth brother, the consequences of my anger are very serious. ”

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, the fourth prince couldn't help but want to tease him: "How serious is it?" ”

Zhao Yao crossed his hands on his waist and glared at the fourth prince fiercely: "Fourth brother, I will break off my friendship with you for a month......

Before he finished his words, his little face was pinched by the fourth prince again, and he cried out in pain: "It hurts...... Hurt...... Fourth Brother...... It hurts ......."

"It's not a small courage to break off friendship with me." The fourth prince twisted Zhao Yao's little nose vigorously again.

Zhao Yao patted off the hands of the fourth prince, rubbed his nose and said, "Fourth brother, if you make me angry, I will definitely break off my friendship with you for a month...... It hurts......" Before he finished speaking, his little head was hit hard by the fourth prince.

"Don't say the word "break up." The fourth prince said with a straight face.

"Then it depends on what gift you give, fourth brother." Zhao Yao is not afraid of the cold face of the four princes.

The fourth prince smiled angrily, and he stretched out his hand towards Wei Mian.

Wei Mian immediately took a brocade box and handed it to the hands of the four princes.

Zhao Yao saw that the brocade box in the hands of the four princes was very small, and thought that it must not be a script. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The fourth prince handed the brocade box in his hand to Zhao Yao, "Your birthday gift." ”

Zhao Yao took the brocade box with both hands and asked curiously, "Fourth brother, what kind of gift is it?" ”

"Won't you just open it and see it?"

Zhao Yao opened the brocade box and found that there was a pair of black and white Taiji fish jade pendants inside.

"Tai Chi Jade Pendant?"

"I made it for someone, do you like it?"

"Yes, very much." Zhao Yao said with joy on his face, "Fourth Brother Xie." As he spoke, he separated the pair of Taiji fish jade pendants and handed the white fish jade pendants to the four princes, "Fourth brother, one for each of us." ”

"This pair of jade pendants is for you, what are you doing with me?"

"Fourth brother, we are brothers, we are one piece." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "In the future, we will use this pair of jade pendants to recognize each other, by the way, we can also use this pair of jade pendants to ask each other for help or help......"

Before he finished his words, the little head melon seed was knocked down by the four princes again.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"Fourth brother, it's all written in the book, and this pair of jade pendants is a token of our brother." Zhao Yao said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "As written in the book, if one of the two of us is in trouble in the future, you can take this jade pendant and ask the other party for help." ”

The fourth prince didn't take Zhao Yao's words to heart, and shook his head helplessly and said, "You will read less books in the future." ”

"Fourth brother, I think it's good for this pair of jade pendants to be a token of our brother, so you can take it."

"Brother's token?" The fourth prince muttered, and immediately accepted this piece of white fish jade pendant, "Okay, this pair of jade pendants is a token of our brother." ”

Zhao Yao held the black fish jade pendant and said to the fourth prince: "Fourth brother, I will take good care of this jade pendant." ”

The fourth prince smiled: "I will also take good care of it." "The fourth prince didn't expect that he would be saved by this white fish jade pendant in the future.

"Brother Xie Fourth Brother's gift." Zhao Yao gave a big salute to the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, you still have something to do, brother, I'll go first." ”

"Let's go back."

"Fourth brother, then I'll go back." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

As soon as he walked out of the History Museum, he met Zheng Rang.

Zheng Rang hurriedly saluted Zhao Yao, and immediately congratulated Zhao Yao on a happy birthday.

Seeing Zheng Rang carrying a food box in his hand, Zhao Yao said with a bright face: "Zheng Zhengshi, what delicious food did you make for me?" ”

"It's a dim sum, I hope Your Highness won't dislike it." After Zheng Rang returned to the house from work last night, he specially cooked for Zhao Yao to make his favorite snacks on weekdays.

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it at all." Zhao Yao said with a happy face, "Zheng Zhengshi, the dim sum you made is the best, thank you for the dim sum." ”

"It's my honor that Your Highness likes it." Zheng Rang said to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, there is still a letter from my little brother to you and a birthday gift for you in the food box. ”

The lord's birthday, Zheng Qian didn't say anything about it.

"I know, thank you little brother for me, saying that he has a heart."

"Your Highness, I'll go and get busy first."

"Go ahead."

Zhao Yao left Lanyuan Pavilion with Tongxi.

"Your Highness, why did you just say that to the Fourth Highness?" Tongxi hesitated and said, "It feels a little unlucky, but today is your birthday." Fortunately, the fourth prince didn't take His Highness's words to heart.

"What's unlucky." Zhao Yao took out the black fish jade pendant from his arms, and his expression suddenly became very serious, "Do you think I'm joking, I'm not joking, I'm serious." ”

"Seriously?"

"However, I hope that the fourth brother will not need that piece of white fish jade pendant in the future."

"Your Highness, didn't you say it was a token?"

"It's a token." Zhao Yao said, "If the fourth brother comes to me with that piece of white fish jade pendant in the future, it means that the fourth brother is in trouble, so I don't hope that the fourth brother will use this jade pendant in the future." ”

Hearing this, Tongxi finally understood Zhao Yao's words. He opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "Your Highness, what are you ......?"

"In the future, I will go to Lingnan, and when the time comes, I will not only stay away from the capital, but also away from the fourth brother." Zhao Yao also thought of using them as tokens when he saw the fourth prince giving him a pair of Taiji fish jade pendants, "At that time, the fourth brother will definitely compete fiercely." I'm afraid that the fourth brother will not be the opponent of the starling brother in the end. "The fourth brother and the starling may be on par in terms of resourcefulness, but in terms of viciousness, the fourth brother is definitely not the opponent of the starling. Moreover, the fourth brother has a weakness, while the starling brother does not. The Li family is the help of the fourth brother, and it is also the weakness of the fourth brother.

Tongxi didn't expect Zhao Yao to think so long-term, and exclaimed: "Your Highness, you did it on purpose." ”

"It also came to me suddenly."

"Your Highness, the slave maid looks at the four princes and doesn't take your words seriously."

"The fourth brother will definitely not take what I said seriously now, and the fourth brother will understand in the future." Zhao Yao said and sighed softly, "I hope that the fourth brother will never use this jade pendant." ”

Tongxi said with admiration: "Your Highness, you have thought so thoroughly. ”

Zhao Yao shook his head and didn't say anything more.

"Let's go back."

"Your Highness, maybe the emperor has sent someone to give you a gift."

"I'm not expecting a birthday gift from my father, maybe it's a bunch of books." With his father's bad temperament, he would never give him a "normal" gift. Maybe his father will take advantage of his birthday to tease him again.

"Your Royal Highness, today is your birthday, and the emperor is likely to give you another Zhuangzi." Tongxi felt that the royal villa that the emperor had rewarded Zhao Yao with was very good.

Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi, and said angrily: "You think Zhuangzi is a cabbage, there are a lot of them." ”

"Isn't it much?" Tongxi said, "Aren't there a lot of Zhuangzi in the suburbs? ”

"Most of those Zhuangzi have been rewarded, and there are only a few left." Since deciding to go to Lingnan, Zhao Yao has no interest in the Royal Mountain Villa on the outskirts of the capital, because he can't take it with him, and he can't sell it for money. Wait, he can sell it to the third brother, maybe the third brother will buy it, after all, the third brother doesn't have a Zhuangzi yet.

Tong Xi saw Zhao Yao's eyes squinted, with a treacherous smile on his face, and his heart trembled.

"Your Highness, who are you calculating?" Every time His Highness shows this expression, it means that His Highness is playing a bad idea.

"Third brother, them."

"The Third Prince?" Tongxi was so shocked that he almost cried out, and then he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, are you going to deal with the three princes?" ”

Zhao Yao looked at Tongxi inexplicably: "When did I say that I would deal with the third brother and them." ”

"That's what you just said."

"What I just said means that when I grow up and go to Lingnan, I will sell the Zhuangzi that my father rewarded me to the third brother and them."

"Huh?" Tong Xi was surprised, "Your Highness, can the Zhuangzi rewarded by the emperor be sold?" ”

"It's definitely not okay to sell it to others, but it will definitely not be a problem to sell it to the third brother." Zhao Yao said, laughing maliciously, "Third brother, they are not rewarded Zhuangzi, I sold Zhuangzi to them, they will definitely want it." "When the time comes, I will extort a sum of money from the third brother.

"Your Highness, if the emperor knew that you had sold the Zhuangzi that his old man had given you, he would definitely be angry."

"I'll sell it to the third brother secretly, they won't do it."

Tongxi said silently in his heart: Your Highness, do you think you can hide it from the emperor?

Zhao Yao returned to the Kunde Hall and received a birthday gift from the poppies.

Both Yu Mei and Pan Cairen made a new dress for Zhao Yao. The fifth princess made a sachet for Zhao Yao.

Empress Xie sent a little eunuch to deliver a birthday gift, which was two brushes.

As the queen, she will send people to send gifts on the princes' birthdays every year.

Concubine Li also sent someone to send a gift, which was two poetry collections.

The other concubines did not send gifts because Liang Zhaoyi was not familiar with them.

As for the emperor, he has not yet sent someone to give gifts.

At this time, the emperor was discussing things with He Xiang and them in the imperial study.

Early this morning, the acting king finally came to the court and did not continue to pretend to be sick. He took the initiative to mention to the emperor that he wanted to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in entertaining envoys from countries such as Annam and Johor. The emperor agreed.

"Lao He, Lao Liu, you said that I selected a woman from the Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family to be the acting king's side concubine, how about it?"

Sure enough, it was guessed by the Eighth Prince.

When He Xiang and Taishi Liu heard the emperor's words, there was no look of surprise on their faces.

"Your Majesty, are you finally going to start?" He Xiang and Taishi Liu seemed to have known that the emperor was going to do this.

The emperor held his face with his right hand and said with a smile: "Don't you think the recent Zhenguo Gong is too proud? ”

"When has Zhen Guogong never been proud." Taishi Liu said sharply.

The emperor smiled and said, "Then I will fulfill him and make him more proud." ”

He Xiang hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”

"What do the princes and princes want most?" The emperor did not directly answer He Xiang's question, but asked them.

Liu Taishi said without thinking: "Military power." ”

When He Xiangyan heard this, he asked in astonishment: "Your Majesty, should you give Zhenguo the right to soldier?" ”

Taishi Liu instantly understood the emperor's intentions, and agreed: "Give Zhenguo the right to serve as soldiers, he will be even more proud, and it will be easy to do wrong things at that time." "A cautious person on weekdays only makes mistakes when the spring breeze is proud, and if you want to make Zhen Guogong make mistakes, give him what he wants most.

There was something in the morning, and I didn't have time to update the code word.

There is a shift in the evening, which will be later.

Eighth Prince: Father, I know you best!
