It's winter in the blink of an eye.

He Zhengshu, Liu Jun, Shen Miao, and Chu Yi sat together to discuss things.

The four of them had been coming to Lingnan for some time at their father's behest. During this time, they did not do anything big, and went out every day to find out the situation.

He Zhengshu said: "It's winter, but it's much warmer here than in the capital." "He is He Xiang's second son, and he looks polite.

Liu Jun nodded and said, "This is like spring in the capital." "He is the second son of Taishi Liu. He is different from the gloomy and inscrutable Taishi Liu, his temperament is very cheerful.

Shen Miao took a broken fan and fanned it: "This is much hotter than the capital." ”

Chu Yi pursed his lips with some disgust and said, "It's been a while since I came to this ghost place, but I'm still not used to it. "It's too hot here, it's too stuffy. If you move your body a little, you will sweat.

Shen Miao and Chu Yi are military generals, and the two are not afraid of the cold. The clothes of the two are thin and too hot.

"I saw that your daily interest was very high, and I thought you were happy to be here." Liu Jun teased Chu Yi.

Chu Yi said angrily: "It's all here, you can't cry every day." ”

Shen Miao smiled: "It's not useless here, I like it here." ”

He Zhengshu agreed with Shen Miao's words and said, "Well, it's actually not bad here, especially tea." He Zhengshu likes to drink tea very much on weekdays, and has the nickname of "tea idiot". When he came to Lingnan, he didn't bring any luggage, but he brought a lot of tea. He originally thought that there was no good tea in a desolate place like Lingnan, but he didn't expect that there were many good teas here in Lingnan, which was an unexpected surprise for him.

Liu Jun said: "The fruits here are also good, and there are many that cannot be seen in the capital, especially lychees. "It's a pity that Lingnan is too far away from the capital, so it's not good to send the lychee back to the capital, otherwise let my father taste it.

"There's nothing bad about it here, except it's a little hotter, it's a little wetter, and there's a little bit more mosquitoes." As soon as Shen Miao finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped his face, killing an unknown insect. "I still like it here."

Chu Yi said: "If you don't like it, you have to like it, after all, we have to stay here forever." ”

Liu Jun looked at Chu Yi playfully: "Xiao Yiyi, if you don't want to stay here, you can apply to your father to return to the capital." ”

When Chu Yi heard Liu Jun's words, he glared at him fiercely: "Who do you underestimate." "He hates it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to stay here. They came here on a mission.

"I think you're impatient."

"Liu Er, do you want to fight?" Chu Ying's temperament is relatively calm, but the second son Chu Yi's temperament is a little hot.

He Zhengshu hurriedly stopped the two of them: "Okay, let's get down to business now." ”

Hearing He Zhengshu's words, Chu Yi sat back obediently, while Liu Jun put away the teasing smile on his face.

"Chu Erji and I will continue to check the situation of the villages in this area, and Sanshui, you and Liu Er will continue to investigate the situation of the villages in that area." Lingnan is so big that they have been here for a few months and have not traveled everywhere yet. "Be safe when you go to inquire about the situation." The folk customs here in Lingnan are relatively strong, and most of the people are not easy to get along with. When they went to inquire about the situation, they almost had an accident.

Shen Miao nodded to He Zhengshu: "You guys should also pay attention." ”

He Zhengshu and Chu Yi went to the east, and Shen Miao and Li Liu Jun went to the west.

"Liu Er, you always provoke Chu Er to do something." Shen Miao was riding a horse while chatting with Liu Jun, "He's a short temper. ”

"Just because he has a violent temper, I want to tease him." The smile on Liu Jun's face was as bright as the sunshine in Lingnan, but his eyes were narrow. "How could Uncle Ying send Chu Er, he should have sent Chu Da."

Shen Miao could guess, "Uncle Ying sent Chu Er to Lingnan to temper his temper well."

"Sanshui, how much do you know about the Ten Highnesses?" Liu Jun asked abruptly.

Shen Miao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I got the stirrups from His Royal Highness the Ten." Speaking of this, Shen Miao deliberately stepped on the stirrup, "There is also movable type printing and new paper, you can see that His Royal Highness Ten is a very smart person." ”

"His Royal Highness the Tenth is only six years old, isn't it a little early?" Liu Jun has always felt that the ten princes are too young and have not yet been determined, and the emperor decided to let him inherit the unification, is it a little rash.

Shen Miao understood what Liu Jun meant: "Don't underestimate His Highness Tenth just because he is only six years old." If nothing else, let's just say that the doctors who arrived some time ago, they are like us to check the situation in Lingnan, and you will understand that His Royal Highness Ten is not an ordinary child. ”

"Didn't these doctors come to Lingnan for us?"

"On the one hand, it is for us, and on the other hand, it is for collecting the situation of incurable diseases here in Lingnan." Shen Miao took the horsewhip and pointed to the mountains in the distance, "The main thing is to understand the miasma and find a way to solve them." ”

"The miasma in Lingnan is no joke." Some time ago, Liu Jun felt the horror of the miasma. If it weren't for the doctor, I'm afraid he would still be sick.

"From this, you can see that His Highness Ten is very far-sighted." Shen Miao continued, "Next, the emperor will send some people to Lingnan. ”

"The emperor really loves His Royal Highness the Tenth, and before the Tenth Highness comes to Lingnan, make all preparations for him." Liu Jun sighed, "I hope His Royal Highness Ten will not let us down." ”

"Didn't Uncle Liu tell you?" Shen Miao saw that Liu Jun was not very convinced by His Royal Highness the Ten, and felt a little strange in his heart.

Liu Jun asked with a puzzled face, "What did you say?" ”

"Ten Highnesses are ......"

Zhao Yao, who was far away in the capital, was caught off guard and sneezed.

"Your Highness, are you suffering from the cold?" During this time, the weather in the capital was getting colder and colder, and Tongxi was always worried that Zhao Yao would be frozen and sick. Your Highness must not be sick, or Your Highness will be like last year.

Seeing that Tongxi looked like he was facing a great enemy, Zhao Yao said helplessly: "I just sneezed, you don't have to be so nervous." After speaking, he sniffed, "I didn't suffer from the wind and cold, someone must be saying bad things about me behind my back." ”

"Your Highness, let's ask the Imperial Doctor to take your pulse later." It's no wonder that Tongxi is so frightened. Last year, Zhao Yao was sick for several months because of the wind and cold, and almost died.

"I'm really fine." Zhao Yao rubbed his nose and said, "Don't tell your mother." "Once the concubine knows that he is sneezing, he is not sick, and the concubine will definitely let him drink medicine.

"But ......"

Zhao Yao glared at Tongxi and warned him: "If you tell your mother, you will die." ”

Tongxi nodded in horror: "The slave doesn't say it." His Royal Highness didn't let him tell Niangniang, but he didn't let him not tell His Royal Highness. When he met the Fourth Highness, he told the Fourth Highness.

Zhao Yao put his hands in his sleeves and walked like a little old man.

"Are there chestnuts in the palace?"

Tongxi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "There should be an imperial dining room." ”

"You'll go to the Imperial Dining Room and get some chestnuts later, and then send them back to the Kunde Hall and let the kitchenette fry some and roast some more." Zhao Yao said, "In winter, you should eat fried chestnuts and roasted chestnuts." ”

"Your Highness, do you want to eat chestnut crisp?" Tongxi deliberately said, "The chestnut crisp is also delicious." ”

"Of course." Speaking of what to eat in winter, Zhao Yao's mind unconsciously appeared in the picture of Zhao Yao eating roasted sweet potatoes in his dream, "The most important thing to eat in winter is roasted sweet potatoes, but unfortunately I haven't found sweet potatoes yet." "My uncle's friend of the Gentile friend will not go to Mixir until next spring.

"Your Highness, don't you often say that the most important thing to eat in winter is hot pot, why did it become a roasted sweet potato again?"

"You know what, roasted sweet potatoes are a snack." Zhao Yao said, "Roasted sweet potatoes are fragrant, sweet and glutinous, and the most important thing is to hold it in your hand and warm your hands." After speaking, Zhao Yao's greedy mouth was full of saliva.

"I'm hungry, let's go find the fourth brother for dinner."

By the time Zhao Yao came to Lanyuan Pavilion, the four princes had already asked someone to prepare a hot pot.

"Fourth brother, what birthday gift do you plan to give to your father?" In a few days, it will be his father's birthday, but he hasn't thought about what to send his father. When it comes to birthday gifts, Zhao Yao despises the emperor very much in his heart. The stinky father asked him for a birthday gift, and asked for a good gift. If the birthday gift he gave was not to his liking, he would never spare him.

Is there such a shameless father, who actually asked his youngest son for a gift, and it must be in line with his heart. He asks his stinky father what he wants, and he asks him to think for himself.

He's not a roundworm in his stomach, how do you know what he wants.

The stinky father must be deliberately embarrassing him!

The fourth prince put a piece of mutton into Zhao Yao's bowl, and said softly: "I am going to draw a birthday picture and send it to my father." ”

"Fourth brother, didn't you give your father a pair of birthday words last year?" The calligraphy of the four princes is the best among the princes, and the birthday words given to the emperor last year have also been praised by the emperor. "Did you send a word last year, but a painting this year?"

"Hmm."

Zhao Yao looked envious: "I don't know what to send to my father." "It's a pity that his calligraphy and painting are not good, otherwise he would have drawn a birthday picture to send to his father." Fourth brother, do you know what my father likes? ”

When the fourth prince heard Zhao Yao ask, he mistakenly thought that he wanted to please the emperor.

"I'll help you prepare."

"Okay...... Uh......" Zhao Yao thought of the picture of the emperor threatening him with compassion, and could only refuse the help of the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, I'd better prepare it myself." "If you let the stinky father know that the birthday gift he gave was prepared by the fourth brother, the stinky father will definitely find his fault.

"You can also draw a picture of your birthday."

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "Fourth brother, my painting is not good-looking. ”

"Father won't dislike it."

"I'll take a look." Zhao Yao complained about the emperor in his heart, the stinky father emperor is really too annoying.

The people in the dining room downstairs were discussing the envoys of countries such as Annam and Johor. A month ago, envoys from Enron and Johor arrived in the capital one after another. At that time, their battle into Beijing was not small, and they looked different from the Great Zhou people, which caused a lot of sensation in the capital.

This time, there was a princess among the foreign envoys who came to congratulate the Great Zhou. This princess is the princess of Annan, and her goal is very clear, and she wants to make peace with Da Zhou.

A few years ago, Enron attacked the southern Xinjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty and invaded many places in southern Xinjiang. When the emperor learned about it, he immediately sent Yan Huarong to southern Xinjiang.

As soon as Yan Huarong arrived in southern Xinjiang, he recovered many places with lightning speed. In less than a year, Yan Huarong recovered the place occupied by Annanguo. After that, Yan Huarong led an army to attack Annan.

The soldiers of Annan were not Yan Huarong's opponents, and soon Annan lost a lot of places. Seeing that he was not an opponent of the Great Zhou, the king of Annam immediately asked for peace with the Great Zhou, but the emperor did not agree.

The emperor directly ordered Yan Huarong to capture the kingdom of Annan. Yan Huarong spent three years to conquer the whole country of Annan. Today's Annan is a vassal state of the Great Zhou.

The king of Annam had always wanted to send people to the Great Zhou, but the emperor had been reluctant to see them.

In the past two years, Annan has paid a lot of tribute to the Great Zhou, and finally got the opportunity to come to the Great Zhou Dynasty to congratulate him.

In order to reconcile with the Great Zhou, the king of Annan specially sent the eldest prince, the second prince and the third princess to the Great Zhou to congratulate.

It is said that the three princesses of Annam are the most beautiful women in Annam, and they are also the pearls of the king of Annam. In order to be able to make friends with the Great Zhou, the king of Annan not only sent a lot of gifts to the court, but also sent his favorite daughter to the Great Zhou to make peace.

After the envoys of Annan arrived in the capital, Zhao Yao curiously ran to see the princess of Annan, although she was the first beauty of Annan, but compared with Concubine Rong, it was far behind.

The ministers are discussing whether the princess of Annan will enter the palace as a concubine or become a princess.

It is impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry the princess of Annan.

If you act as the king, it is possible to marry her as a side princess.

If the third prince is the third prince, it is also possible to marry her side concubine. Of course, it is also possible for the Four Princes. Although the fourth prince is still two years away from adulthood, he is only one year younger than the princess of Annan.

The ministers were speculating about who the emperor would let the princes marry if they asked the princes to marry the princess of Annan.

"Fourth brother, who do you think my father will let marry the princess of Annan?" The fourth brother is definitely unwilling to marry. The third brother must want to marry the princess of Annan, and the second brother may also want to marry.

"I don't know." The fourth prince firmly believed that the emperor would not let him marry the princess of Annan, so he was not worried about this matter at all, and he also did not care who would marry the princess of Annan.

The fourth prince didn't want to marry the princess of Annan, but the acting king and the third prince wanted to marry her. They married her, of course, not because she was the first beauty in Annan, but because they took a fancy to Annan behind her.

Although Annan is now a vassal state of the Great Zhou, it is a country after all, and it is not small. The most important state of Annam is rich.

With the support of Annanguo, the acting king felt that he had a few more chances of winning the crown prince. Of course, the three princes and the Wang family also thought so.

The acting king and the Marquis of Xuanping discussed, and when it was time for the Wanshou Festival, he took the initiative to propose to the emperor to marry the princess of Annan as a side concubine.

Because of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter, the acting king has not yet married the side princess. The acting king felt that he proposed to the emperor to marry the princess of Annan as the side princess, and the emperor would definitely agree.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo are definitely unwilling to let the acting king marry the princess of Annan as the side princess. As for the third prince, they didn't pay attention to it, because it was not his turn at all.

The third prince knew in his heart that he took the initiative to propose to the emperor to marry the princess of Annan as the side princess, and the emperor would definitely not agree, so he planned to use extraordinary means to make the princess of Annan have to marry him as the side princess.

"That princess of Annan is quite arrogant, I don't like her." I heard from the people in the post house that the princess of Annan had a big shelf, and as soon as she arrived at the post house, she asked for this and that. "Obviously a princess of a defeated country, I don't know what arrogance is."

The fourth prince said in a light tone: "The people in the land of projectiles are not educated. ”

"The fourth sister went to the post house some time ago and personally taught the princess of Annan, I heard that during this time, the princess of Annan was a lot more honest." The fourth sister is the most arrogant and domineering princess in the Great Zhou, how can she allow a little princess of the Annan Kingdom to show off her claws in the Great Zhou.

The fourth prince frowned slightly and said, "Dealing with a princess in a small land is a loss of identity." ”

In the Xingde Palace, the eighth prince and Yu Hai were also discussing the princess of Annanguo.

The eighth prince said with a smile: "Since the third emperor brother wants to marry the princess of Annan as the side princess, then we will help him." ”

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Yu Hai thought of the appearance of the third prince looking down on the eighth prince on weekdays, and said with anger in his heart, "Your Highness, we must make the third prince look good this time." ”

The Eighth Prince said in a cold tone: "This is nature. ”

There is also a shift in the evening.

Zhao Yao: What's the good thing about sending the stinky father?

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a tip! Leave a message!
