It was night, in the study of the two princes' mansions in Liangzhou.

The king of Chu sat at his desk and was engaged in official business.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Then, I heard Wei Mian's voice: "Your Highness." ”

The King of Chu said without raising his head: "Come in." ”

Wei Mian pushed the door open very softly, and then walked in lightly. He first saluted the king of Chu, and then took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the king of Chu with both hands.

"Your Highness, the letter of the Ten Highnesses."

Hearing that it was Zhao Yao's letter, King Chu immediately put down the pen in his hand and took the letter from Wei Mian's hand. When he took the letter, there was a look of surprise on his face, and he immediately smiled and said, "Why is the letter so thin this time?" "How do you feel like you don't have a few pieces of paper.

Usually, the letters written by Zhao Yao to the King of Chu are thick stacks, and there are at least twenty or thirty pieces of letter paper in them. Sometimes one envelope doesn't fit, so use two or three envelopes. It's the first time I've received such a thin letter this time.

The slave and maid wondered, too. When Wei Mian got the letter, he saw that it was a letter written by His Highness the Tenth, and found that the envelope was not bulging, and he was surprised, thinking that it was not a letter written by His Highness the Ten, and he also specially confirmed that it was indeed a letter from His Highness the Tenth. However, this time, His Highness Ten wrote a lot fewer letters than before, which is not like the style of His Highness Ten.

The king of Chu smiled and opened the letter and found that there were only five pieces of letter paper inside. His heart sank slightly, how could the tenth brother only write five? Could it be that something happened to the tenth brother?

Worried, he hurriedly looked down at the letter. A few sentences were written on the first piece of paper, and the summary was "Fourth brother, you didn't promise me to go to Liangzhou to see you, I'm angry!" "Fourth brother, we've only been separated for a few years, don't you love my brother anymore, and I'm no longer your baby brother?" "Fourth brother, you hurt my heart too much. ”

After reading the first piece of letter, King Chu's face unconsciously showed a helpless and doting smile.

"This tenth brother ......" He thought something had happened to the tenth brother, but he didn't expect the tenth brother to be angry.

On the second piece of letterhead, there was only one sentence repeatedly: "Fourth brother, I'm angry!" ”

King Chu smiled in his heart: I can see it.

On the third piece of paper, a sentence was written in huge letters; "Fourth brother, you don't love me anymore!" This sentence is followed by an expression of rolling on the ground and crying.

The king of Chu said in his heart: The painting is quite similar.

On the fourth piece of letterhead, a sentence was still written in huge characters: "Fourth brother, you have abandoned the mess!" ”

The King of Chu stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and said very helplessly in his heart: Tenth brother, this is not the use of abandonment from the beginning to the end.

On the fifth piece of letterhead, a sentence was written very hard: "Fourth brother, I want to break off my friendship with you for a month!" ”。 Below this sentence, there is another line of sentences written in normal characters, "Fourth brother, even if you beg me to go to Liangzhou to see you, I won't go to see you." Hmph, you're so self-conscious! ”

After reading the letter written by Zhao Yao, King Chu couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha......"

Wei Mian, who was standing on the side, saw King Chu laughing, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what did Your Highness Tenth write?" ”

"The tenth brother is angry and wants to break off his friendship with me." As he spoke, the king of Chu handed the letter in his hand to Wei Mian.

After Wei Mian finished reading it, he burst out laughing: "Your Highness, Your Highness Ten is really too cute and fun." ”

King Chu said amusefully and dotingly: "I can see that the tenth brother is really angry. ”

"Your Highness, the ten highnesses are going to break off friendship with you for a month, so it can be seen that I am really angry." Wei Mian sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness Ten is really too interesting. However, thanks to this letter from His Royal Highness the Ten, the prince laughed. During this period of time, something happened, and the prince was in a bad mood all the time, and he kept a face all day long, which scared everyone a lot.

Neither the princess nor the little highness can make the prince smile, and only the tenth highness has the ability to make the prince laugh. The smile of the prince just now seemed to have swept away all the gloom of this time.

"His Royal Highness Ten has never said anything about breaking off friendship with you, this is the first time His Highness Ten has said that he has broken off friendship with you, which shows that His Royal Highness Ten is really angry with you." Wei Mian said, holding up the last piece of letterhead, "Look at how hard His Highness the Ten wrote this sentence. "It's so hard that the ink penetrates into the back.

The King of Chu naturally saw it. He could imagine the appearance of the tenth brother when he was angry. His eyes were full of smiles: "He also made me do what I wanted." "Tenth brother, how can I do it to myself.

"Your Highness, you and the Tenth Highness haven't seen each other for several years, the Tenth Highness misses you very much, and you miss the Tenth Highness very much, why don't you agree with the Tenth Highness to come to see you." Wei Mian was also puzzled, "You tell the emperor, the emperor will definitely agree to the tenth highness to come to Liangzhou to see you." If you are worried about the safety of the Ten Highnesses, you can send someone to the capital to pick up the Ten Highnesses, otherwise the slaves and maids can pick them up. ”

The King of Chu missed Zhao Yao a lot. After he came to Liangzhou, he couldn't rest assured that Zhao Yao's younger brother was in his heart. Although he knew from Dou Le that the tenth brother had been doing well in the past few years and nothing had happened, he was still a little worried in his heart.

"Why don't I want my tenth brother to come to Liangzhou to see me, it's just ...... A lot of things happened during this time, he came, and I couldn't take good care of him. Also, the crown prince and the acting king are very jealous of me, and if they know that the tenth brother came to Liangzhou to see me, I am worried that they will hurt the tenth brother. "If the tenth brother has an accident on the way to Liangzhou, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Your Highness, the crown prince and the acting king will never dare to harm the Ten Highnesses." Wei Mian said, "Although His Royal Highness Ten is not favored by the emperor, His Royal Highness Ten is the emperor's own son after all, and the emperor will never allow the crown prince and the acting king to harm His Royal Highness Ten." Besides, His Highness Ten is just a child, and he doesn't pose any threat to the crown prince and the acting king, so they don't need to deal with His Highness Ten because of you. ”

"Really?" The king of Chu felt that the crown prince and the acting king would make a move against the Ten Highnesses.

"Your Highness, you are worried too much, if the crown prince and the acting king really hurt the ten highnesses, the emperor will definitely not spare them. Besides, they don't dare to bear the reputation of hurting their younger brother. Wei Mian's words were categorical, "You can rest assured." ”

King Chu thought for a while and said, "Then invite the tenth brother to come to Liangzhou to play after a while." ”

"When the time comes, the slave and maid will go back to the capital to pick up His Royal Highness the Ten." Wei Mian smiled and said, "The slave maid hasn't seen His Highness Ten for a few years, and I miss His Highness Ten very much." I haven't seen it in the past few years, I don't know how much His Royal Highness has grown up, whether he has grown taller. ”

"He didn't write to him before that he had grown a lot taller, but that he would be as tall as me in another year or two." King Chu said this, but in fact, he missed Zhao Yao as much as Wei Mian in his heart. "He also said that he was good-looking now."

"His Royal Highness Ten has been good-looking since he was a child, and he is very cute, especially when he laughs." Wei Mian smiled, "In the past few years, I don't know if His Highness Ten has poked out the dimple on the right." ”

Hearing Wei Mian say about poking his dimples, King Chu couldn't help but laugh again: "I forgot to ask him about this." ”

"With the presence of the Ten Highnesses, the mood will involuntarily improve." The more Wei Mian spoke, the more he thought about Zhao Yao, "His Royal Highness Ten can always make people happy. ”

"He used to say he was my pistachio." When it came to the matter of pistachios, King Chu was full of smiles again, "He said that without him by my side in the past few years, I must have rarely smiled, and I am several years older." ”

"His Royal Highness Ten often laughs and laughs, and he has been young for ten years."

"yes, so without him by my side, I'm ten years older." The king of Chu said, "He wrote before that if he didn't come to Liangzhou to see me again, I would become a little old man." ”

"Your Highness, you should hurry up and write to His Highness Ten and ask His Highness for forgiveness." Wei Mian helped King Chu come up with an idea and said, "The slave maid feels that His Highness Ten is very angry this time, but I am afraid that you will have to send some things to His Highness Ten, otherwise it will be difficult for His Highness Ten to dissipate his anger." ”

As soon as the king of Chu was about to say something, there was a knock on the door again, and then he heard the voices of the princess and the little highness.

"Come in."

Princess Chu walked in with a big belly, holding her son in one hand and a food box in the other.

Seeing this, Wei Mian hurriedly saluted Princess Chu and Her Royal Highness, and immediately took the food box from Princess Chu.

The king of Chu stood up, helped the princess of Chu to sit down on the chair beside him, and then picked up his son.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Baozi said softly: "My mother said that my father was hungry, so I asked me to send food to my father." He said, pointing to the food box in Wei Mian's hand, "Daddy, you hurry up and eat." ”

"Okay, Daddy eats." King Chu's expression was soft, and his tone was full of love, "Thank you, little bun, for sending food to Daddy." ”

"You're welcome, Daddy."

Wei Mian opened the food box and took out a bowl of soup and two plates of dim sum inside.

The king of Chu sat down with a small bun in his arms, and he drank the soup for his son at the same time.

As soon as Princess Chu came in, she found that King Chu's eyebrows had stretched a lot, his face had become a lot better, and his mood seemed to be very good, so she asked, "What were you talking about just now, you look happy?" ”

King Chu smiled and said, "We were talking about the tenth brother just now. ”

Wei Mian on the side added: "Princess, the tenth highness has come down to the letter. ”

Princess Chu knew that the relationship between King Chu and Zhao Yao was very good, and she also knew that the two brothers often wrote letters.

She asked curiously, "What did the tenth brother write?" ”

Wei Mian of the Chu Dynasty gave a look, Wei Mian understood, and then took the letter written by Zhao Yao to the princess of Chu.

"Princess, you will know when you see it."

After reading the letter written by Zhao Yao, Princess Chu couldn't help laughing.

"Lord Wang, what did you do to make the tenth brother angry and angry enough to break off his friendship with you?"

Xiao Baozi, who was sitting in the arms of the King of Chu, looked at his father with a pair of big black eyes, and asked, "Daddy, why did you make the little uncle angry?" Although Xiao Baozi has never seen Zhao Yao, the little uncle, he has always known and remembered Zhao Yao, the little uncle who often gives him fun things.

"Before, the tenth brother wrote to me that he wanted to come to Liangzhou to visit us, and asked me to tell my father that I didn't agree, and he got angry." King Chu said helplessly, "I didn't expect the tenth brother to be so angry. ”

"Daddy, why don't you agree with Uncle Xiao to come to see us?" Xiao Baozi looked at the King of Chu with condemning eyes, "I want to see Uncle Xiao." ”

"Lord Wang, why don't you agree with the Ten Highnesses to come to Liangzhou?"

"A lot of things have happened during this time, and besides, I'm worried that someone will be bad for the tenth brother."

Princess Chu understood what King Chu meant, frowned slightly and said, "The prince is also right to worry. ”

"After a while, I'll send Wei Mian back to the capital to pick up the tenth brother to play." When King Chu thought of Zhao Yao's angry appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "I have to beg the tenth brother to come to Liangzhou, otherwise the tenth brother may have to break off his friendship with me for the rest of his life." "Don't look at the tenth brother in the letter saying that even if he begs him, he will not come to Liangzhou, in fact, the tenth brother wants him to beg him to come to Liangzhou.

"I'll send someone back to Beijing with Wei Mian to pick up my tenth brother." Princess Chu said, "Just send some things to my mother and my father." ”

"It's fine." The king of Chu said again, "The tenth brother is angry, I am thinking of sending him something to make him happy, princess, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"You can give the tenth brother some delicious and fun things." Princess Chu said, "Lord, I'll help you prepare." ”

"Okay." Most of the things given to Zhao Yao before were prepared by Princess Chu.

"By the way, didn't you send some good materials some time ago, and I also gave them to the tenth brother and Concubine Liang." Princess Chu said again, "Why don't you let the embroidery lady in the house make a few clothes for the tenth brother?" ”

"Let's send the material." King Chu said, "I don't know if the tenth brother has grown taller during this time." ”

"The tenth brother is growing taller, maybe he will grow taller during this time." Princess Chu thought of Zhao Yao's appearance, and said with a chuckle, "I haven't seen you in the past few years, and the tenth brother must be getting better and better." ”

"When he comes, you praise him for his good looks, he will be very happy, and he will like you very much, and he will say that you are very discerning."

"Then when the tenth brother comes, I have to praise the tenth brother." Princess Chu only met Zhao Yao after marrying the King of Chu. Before they left the capital, Zhao Yao often went to the palace of the king of Chu, and the princess of Chu became familiar with Zhao Yao. She likes Zhao Yao's younger brother very much, lively, cute and fun. "Lord Wang, how is the tenth brother okay during this time?"

"Good, nothing happened."

Princess Chu knew that the King of Chu had always remembered Zhao Yao, who was far away in the capital, "That's good." ”

While eating supper, the king of Chu talked to Princess Chu and Xiao Baozi about Zhao Yao.

Xiao Baozi listened very carefully, and his eyes were sparkling.

The person he most looks like is the little uncle, and he has been waiting for the little uncle to come and play with him. Well, now the little uncle is really coming to play with him.

"Daddy, when the little uncle comes, I can give up my room to the little uncle, and I can sleep with the little uncle."

"Okay, when the little uncle comes, let him sleep with you." King Chu touched his son's little head and said, "Your little uncle will be very happy." ”

"Daddy, when is the little uncle coming?"

"A few more months."

"It's going to be so long, can the little uncle come tomorrow, I want to see the little uncle tomorrow." Xiao Baozi said with a puffed face.

"The little uncle is in the capital, far away from us, and he won't be able to arrive tomorrow......" King Chu patiently asked his son why the little uncle would come in a few months.

After listening to Xiao Baozi, although he was a little disappointed, he was more expectant.

Seeing that it was not too early, the king of Chu asked the princess of Chu to take the little bun back to the room to rest first, and he had to continue to deal with official business.

Princess Chu knew that King Chu had a lot of things to do during this time, so she didn't bother him for a long time. Before leaving, he told the king of Chu to rest early.

After Princess Chu left with her son, King Chu's face immediately became serious and asked Wei Mian about other things.

At this time, Zhao Yao, who was far away in the capital, sneezed several times in a row.

"Your Highness, you won't get cold, will you?" Tongxi said nervously, "Slave, let the small kitchen stew ginger soup for you." ”

"No, I'm fine, I'm not cold." Zhao Yao pouted and said, "It must be the fourth brother who is talking about me, I don't know if the fourth brother realizes his mistake." ”

"Your Highness, you have written to break off your friendship with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu must realize that he was wrong." Tongxi thought that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would definitely feel funny when he received His Royal Highness's letter, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu will definitely write to you to apologize next, and maybe even send something to make you happy." ”

Zhao Yao snorted arrogantly: "Don't think that if you write an apology letter to me, I will forgive him!" Don't think that if you give me something, I won't be angry! I'm angry this time, and I can't just coax it. ”

"Your Highness, if His Royal Highness the King of Chu really begs you to go to Liangzhou, you really won't go?"

"Don't go, I said that the fourth brother begged me, and I won't go either." Of course, if the fourth sister-in-law and Xiao Baozi invited him to Liangzhou, he would definitely go. He quickly thought of what the emperor said before, and his little face immediately fell, "My father doesn't agree with me going to Liangzhou." "The stinky father didn't let him leave the capital to go to other places.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu begged the emperor, and the emperor didn't agree?"

"I don't agree, my father said that I was too young to let me go out." As soon as he mentioned this matter, Zhao Yao was full of fire, "I'm eleven years old, where is a child." Besides, when my father was eleven years old, he followed the emperor and grandfather to the battlefield to kill the enemy, why do you say that I am a child at the age of eleven. ”

"Your Highness, if the emperor doesn't agree, then you really can't go to Liangzhou."

"The stinky father won't let me go, so I'll go secretly." Zhao Yao said very reflexively, "I have already thought about it, after Mr. Meng leaves, I will ask my second uncle to help me get rid of the secret guards sent by my father to follow me, and then I will leave the capital unnoticed." ”

Tong Xi was surprised: "Your Highness, are you going to sneak away?" ”

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "That's what I plan." ”

"Your Highness, if it's not the slave who hits you, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."

"Why?" Zhao Yao said with a puzzled face, "With the second uncle helping me, I will definitely succeed." ”

"Your Royal Highness, the second uncle can help you get rid of the secret guard, but if you don't return to the palace for a few days, the emperor will definitely find out that you have escaped, and the emperor will definitely send someone to arrest you at that time." Tongxi analyzed, "With the means and abilities of the dark guard, you should be found soon, and then you will be arrested, and then the emperor will definitely beat you angrily." ”

(⊙o⊙)…

He didn't think of that.

Zhao Yao hung his head and lay on the table in frustration, and said with some helplessness: "So, I can't sneak away?" ”

"yes, you still don't have to think about it." Tongxi said, "It's not too early, Your Highness, you better wash and sleep." ”

"My father's secret guard is really annoying." Zhao Yao knew that as long as he left the palace, the secret guard would follow him. Although he hadn't seen those four secret guards since he was assassinated by Concubine Ying in the Taoist Temple, he knew that those four secret guards had definitely been by his side for the past few years.

"Your Highness, the emperor sent secret guards to follow you to protect you."

"But with them, I can't escape." Zhao Yao pursed his lips unhappily and said, "I still want to run out of the capital and then go to many places to play." ”

Tongxi was very intimate and did not expose Zhao Yao's careful thoughts about going to Liangzhou, "Your Highness, if you really want to go out to play, you should obediently ask the emperor to agree, otherwise you won't be able to go anywhere." ”

"Ask my father, hehe......" Zhao Yao sneered, "It's better to ask God." ”

"Your Highness, I'm going to listen to Mr. Meng's lecture tomorrow, so you better hurry up and wash and sleep."

Zhao Yao stood up and stretched.

"I have to go to bed early, otherwise I will get up early tomorrow, and I will definitely be sleepy when I listen to school."

"Your Highness, the slave maid will prepare a pot of strong tea for you tomorrow morning, and drink a few more sips of strong tea when you are sleepy."

"Okay, you prepare it for me." Zhao Yao said again, "You will go to Yu Hai later, and ask him to prepare more food for me tomorrow morning, I want to eat a little more, so that I don't have to go hungry when I go to school." "Most of the time, Zhao Yao's breakfast and dinner are eaten with the Eighth Prince every day.

"The slave and maid will go at once."

Zhao Yao didn't say anything more, turned around and went to the ear room to bathe.

When he came out of the bath, he climbed into the bed and slept. As he slept soundly, he felt something in his face and his name in his ear.

Zhao Yao opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a Hai Dongqing lying on his chest, a pair of small round eyes staring at him.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, raised his hand and touched Hai Dongqing's head.

"Xiaoqing, why are you here?" Xiaoqing is Hai Dongqing that he gave to the Eighth Prince. "Did something happen to the starling?"

Xiaoqing said: [Someone wrote to the Eighth Prince, whose name is Ji Bochang. 】

Zhao Yao got up, leaned back on the head of the bed, and asked with a puzzled face, "What did Ji Bochang write?" ”

Xiaoqing was illiterate, so he could only tell Zhao Yao what he heard.

[The Eighth Prince said that the matter was done successfully. 】

"It's been successful, what's the matter?"

[The Eighth Prince and Yu Hai didn't say it. Xiao Qing tilted his head and continued: [The Eighth Prince and Yu Hai are very happy. 】

"Anything else?" Zhao Yao asked, "Did the starling brother mention the matter of the Southern Wei Dynasty?" ”

Xiaoqing said: [No. 】

"What did Starling make Uwe do?" Zhao Yao muttered, "What the starling brother told Uwei to do is definitely not a trivial matter. ”

[I didn't say, I don't know.] Xiaoqing is very smart, as long as the Eighth Prince said to Yu Hai, he can probably remember it, and then tell Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao kissed Xiaoqing's head and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's okay, they will definitely mention it later, and you will tell me when you hear it." ”

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Okay. 】

Zhao Yao yawned: "I'm so sleepy, I want to continue sleeping, you go to Xiaojin to play by yourself." "Xiao Jin is a golden eagle given to Zhao Yao by Liang Run.

Xiao Qing rubbed Zhao Yao's little face with its little head, and then flew away to play with Xiao Jin. He and Kim like to catch things at night.

Zhao Yao lay back in the quilt, opened his mouth and yawned again, muttering, "What is the starling doing again?" ”

Thank you very much for the monthly pass, bow and thank you!

In the new month, we still have to rely on the support of the old irons.
