In Xingde Palace, after listening to Sun Doudou's words, Zhao Yao looked surprised, pointed at himself, and asked again in disbelief: "Are you sure that Mr. Meng wants to see me?" ”

Sun Doudou saw that Zhao Yao still looked incredulous, and told Zhao Yao again in a very determined tone.

"Your Highness, Mr. Meng really wants to see you, and he wants to see you by name, and the slave maid has not said the wrong thing."

Zhao Yao looked shocked and said, "Why does Mr. Meng want to see me, what can I see?" ”

"Your Highness, the slave maid just told you, Mr. Meng wants to thank you for benefiting the people and scholars...... Sun Doudou had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to Zhao Yao.

Before, Zhao Yao didn't listen carefully to Sun Doudou's words. He was stunned when he heard Sun Doudou say that Mr. Meng wanted to see him, but he didn't listen to Sun Doudou's words. Now, after listening to Sun Doudou's words, he was still very surprised in his heart.

"Just because I made printing and new paper, and Quyuan plow, Mr. Meng wants to see me, and he wants to thank me in person?" Zhao Yao's mood was a little complicated.

"Yes, Your Highness." Sun Doudou continued, "The emperor said that the sun is going down early, so let you follow him to see Mr. Meng." ”

"I see."

Tongxi sent Sun Doudou away.

Sun Doudou knew that he would follow Zhao Yao to Lingnan in the future, and he was now half of Zhao Yao's person, so he was very concerned about Zhao Yao's affairs. He was very polite to Tongxi.

Tongxi originally liked Sun Doudou, as Sun Kui's apprentice, he served in the Chengguang Palace, and was a celebrity around the emperor, but he never bullied others, on the contrary, he was kind and humorous. Most of the eunuchs in the palace like Sun Doudou very much.

"Brother Doudou, is it really because of the things that His Highness made when Mr. Meng saw His Highness?"

"Really." Sun Doudou knew what Tongxi was worried about, and smiled at him soothingly, "Don't worry, Your Highness will be fine." ”

Hearing Sun Doudou say this, Tongxi was relieved. He suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "In addition to His Royal Highness, are there other Highnesses, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King?" ”

"Don't go, Mr. Meng only wants to see His Royal Highness the Tenth, and he doesn't want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King." Sun Doudou said with a smile, "Mr. Meng wants to see His Royal Highness the Tenth, or because our Highness the Tenth is so powerful and has done so many good things for the benefit of the country and the people." The emperor praised Mr. Meng for his unique vision. ”

"My Royal Highness is already powerful."

Tongxi and Sun Doudou laughed at each other as they spoke.

Sun Doudou still had to go back to Chengguang Palace, and he didn't talk to Tongxi for a long time. Before leaving, let Tongxi and Zhao Yao put one hundred and twenty hearts.

After Tongxi returned to the house, he told Zhao Yao what Sun Doudou said to him.

"I'm afraid that the prince's brother and the acting king will be jealous of me." Zhao Yao is most worried about this. Mr. Meng didn't want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King, but he was willing to see him, the unfavored Ten Princes.

"Ah, aren't you, Your Highness, in danger?" Tongxi's face was full of worry and anxiety, "How is this good, why don't you go?" ”

"Is it that I can't see it, my father will definitely not agree to it." Zhao Yao thought about it for a while, and most of the worries in his heart disappeared in an instant, "Brother Crown Prince and Acting King They may not be jealous of me, if it is the fourth brother, or if the seventh brother is named by Mr. Meng, the prince and the acting king will definitely be very dissatisfied." ”

"Your Highness, do you mean that it may not be okay for you to go to see Mr. Meng?"

"Well, there shouldn't be anything, after all, I'm still a child, I'm still an unfavored, powerless prince, if the prince and brother really hate me, then they will be too bad."

"Your Highness, you're right to say that." The worry in Tongxi's heart suddenly dissipated.

"It's just that I really didn't expect Mr. Meng to want to see me." Zhao Yao said with a flattered expression.

"It is worthy of Mr. Meng, it is different from ordinary people, and you can see at a glance that what Your Highness has made is a good thing."

Zhao Yao pouted and said, "I hope that his old man is the same as everyone else." "Before he went to Lingnan as an adult, he didn't want to be too famous. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. If he is too famous, he may be coveted by those with ill intentions before he becomes an adult king.

"Your Highness, do you think Mr. Meng will accept you as a student?" Tongxi said, his expression became excited, "Your Highness, if you become a student of Mr. Meng, then you will send it......"

Before his words fell, his head was hit hard by Zhao Yao.

"What crazy are you talking about, if I become a student of Mr. Meng, then I will be finished."

"Your Highness, not really." Tongxi felt that Zhao Yao was overly worried, "The slave maid thinks that there is nothing wrong with you becoming a student of Mr. Meng. ”

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "You don't understand. However, it is unlikely that Mr. Meng will take me as an apprentice, after all, I have no literary talent. "He never wrote a famous essay or a poem." Besides, I don't like to study, and I don't like to do academics, so take me as an apprentice or spare me. ”

"Also, Your Highness, you hate writing articles and poems the most." After Tongxi finished speaking, he thought of Sun Doudou, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, when you are crowned king, Grandpa Sun really wants to go to Lingnan with us." ”

When Zhao Yao heard Tongxi's words, he squinted slightly, and a light of unknown meaning crossed his eyes.

"Your Highness, why did the emperor send his little grandson to Lingnan with you?" Tongxi wasn't worried that Sun Doudou would rob him of the position of his personal eunuch in the future, he just felt strange. Sun Doudou is Sun Kui's apprentice, and he is the only apprentice, and Sun Doudou will definitely inherit Sun Kui's mantle in the future. He didn't understand why the emperor sent Sun Doudou to follow Zhao Yao? To tell the truth, if you go to Lingnan with Your Highness, how can you stay in the palace and have a future.

"Who knows." Zhao Yao had a few thoughts in his heart, but he didn't have that idea. "Sun Doudou is very clever, if he really goes to Lingnan with us in the future, maybe it will be very useful."

"That's right." Tongxi didn't think much about it.

"I'm going to Starling." Zhao Yao was a little worried about the body of the Eighth Prince.

When Zhao Yao arrived, the Eighth Prince had just finished drinking the medicine.

"Starling, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, the doctor said that I won't cough anymore after drinking two more medicines." The Eighth Prince asked, "What did Sun Doudou do with you?" ”

"Oh, he came to tell me that my father will take me to see Mr. Meng tomorrow."

"What?" The Eighth Emperor looked stunned, "Father is going to take you to see Mr. Meng, what's going on?" ”

Zhao Yao told the Eighth Prince what Sun Doudou said to him.

After hearing this, the eighth prince was relieved.

"I see." Mr. Meng is worthy of being a great Confucian in the world, and he knows the effect of those things made by the tenth brother on the country. "Meng Lao deserves to be Meng Lao."

Zhao Yao showed fear on his face and asked, "Starling, Mr. Meng only saw me, will this make the prince and brother unhappy?" ”

The Eighth Prince smiled at Zhao Yao gently, and comforted him gently, "No." You can rest assured that you will go with your father to see Mr. Meng. ”

"Really, won't?" Zhao Yao picked his face and said, "I'm not good at reading, Mr. Meng only sees me, not the prince's brother and the acting king." ”

"No, Mr. Meng saw you because of the things you made, not because you were good at studying." The Eighth Prince said again, "Besides, you are still a child, so it is most appropriate to go to see Mr. Meng." "Among their group of brothers, except for the tenth brother, it will be fine to go to see Mr. Meng, and the others going to see Mr. Meng will inevitably cause a lot of commotion.

Zhao Yao pretended to be comforted by the last words of the Eighth Prince, and the fear and anxiety on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Then I'm not afraid."

"With me, what are you afraid of?" The Eighth Prince felt a little distressed in his heart. Although the tenth brother is still a child, the tenth brother has more or less learned something in the past two years. He still doesn't understand these things, but intuitively, he senses some danger, so he panics.

Zhao Yao nodded vigorously and said, "There is a starling here, I'm not afraid." ”

"You can't be rude when you go to see Mr. Meng tomorrow...... The eighth prince was afraid that Zhao Yao would be nervous and scared when he saw Mr. Meng, and seriously told him what to do and what to say when he saw Mr. Meng.

Zhao Yao listened very carefully.

"Remember?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Remember." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao's expression was a little strange, the Eighth Prince hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"Starling, why does Mr. Meng want to thank me, he is a great Confucian?" Zhao Yao said a little shyly, "Besides, no one has ever been grateful to me. ”

When the Eighth Prince heard this, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

Just because the tenth brother is not favored and has no powerful maternal family, the ministers of the court ignore the role of these things he makes. Among the people, the people are full of gratitude for these things made by the tenth brother. The tenth brother is very famous among the people, but he has no status in the court.

"Tenth brother, I told you that the things you made are very powerful, and the people are full of gratitude to you."

"Really?"

"The Quyuan plough you made has increased the grain production in many places a lot, and the people have praised you." The Eighth Prince felt very sorry for Zhao Yao, and he deliberately teased Zhao Yao and said, "The common people praise you as a genius." ”

"Hey, hey......" Zhao Yao couldn't help but laugh proudly, "I'm not that good." ”

"Tenth brother, you are not good at reading, but you are very good at what you do, and you still have to do more things for the benefit of the people in the future."

"Starling, I see." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he remembered that it would be the birthday of the Eighth Prince in a while, and the Eighth Prince would be crowned king as an adult at that time. "Starling, did the prince's brother tell his father that he would let you stay in the capital and not go to the fief?"

"Didn't I tell you this?"

"Ah, when did you tell me?"

The eighth prince smiled apologetically at Zhao Yao: "I forgot to tell you that the eldest brother has already told my father, and my father agrees that I will stay in the capital." ”

Zhao Yao said happily: "That's great, so that I don't have to be separated from you, Starling." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao was so happy that he stayed, a smile appeared on the face of the Eighth Prince.

"What, you can't bear to let me go?"

"Very reluctant." Zhao Yao really didn't want to be separated from the Eighth Prince. Since the King of Chu went to Liangzhou, Zhao Yao's relationship with the Eighth Prince has been getting better and better. Over the years, the two brothers have been inseparable and have never been separated. "Starling, if you go to the fiefdom, I'll really be the only one left." Then he will be alone.

"Don't worry, you won't be the only one left." The reason why the eighth prince wanted to be in the capital was on the one hand to be able to stay with the prince and plan his affairs. On the other hand, he is reluctant to give up Zhao Yao's younger brother. If he goes to the fiefdom, there will be no one in the palace to protect the tenth brother.

"I knew that starlings were the best for me." Zhao Yao stood up and ran to the side of the Eighth Prince, stretched out his hand to hug the Eighth Prince, and rubbed the Eighth Prince's face with his little face. "I like starlings the most."

The Eighth Prince raised his hand and patted Zhao Yao's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Little pony spirit." ”

Zhao Yao sat back and asked curiously: "Starling, although you stay in the capital, what about your fief, did the prince's brother inquire about your fief from his father?" ”

"The eldest brother helped me ask my father for Qingzhou."

"Qingzhou?" Zhao Yao exclaimed, "Isn't that on the beach?" "If the starling goes to Qingzhou, what the uncle did in Qingzhou will be known by the starling, and then the starling will find out what he has done over the years, and he will also know that he, the tenth brother, is not an innocent fool.

"Yes, but my father didn't agree."

"Why?" When Zhao Yao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately thought about it, it was impossible for his father to hand over Qingzhou to Starling. Although the father does not know the true face of his eighth son, but the relationship between the starling and His Royal Highness the Prince, the father will not hand over the "money bag" of Qingzhou to the starling. Once handed over to the starling, it is equivalent to being handed over to the Duke of Zhenguo, and the father will never take the money bag that Qingzhou feeds to the Duke of Zhenguo.

The eighth prince couldn't tell Zhao Yao, so he could only say, "It's not suitable for me." "When the crown prince wanted to help the eighth prince ask Qingzhou, the eighth prince knew that the emperor would not agree. Although Qingzhou is a small seaside town, after the opening of the sea ban, Qingzhou has become very important and has become very rich.

Zhao Yao asked, "Then where did the father make a fief for you?" ”

Yu Haizui said quickly: "The emperor did not give His Highness a fief. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yao was stunned and said, "My father didn't give me a fief, is it really fake?" ”

The eighth prince glared at Yu Hai, who had talked a lot, and then said to Zhao Yao gently: "I won't leave the capital for the time being, so my father won't give me a fief for the time being." ”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Yu Hai was wronged by the Eighth Prince. He muttered quietly, "That's not the case. "The emperor deliberately did not give the fief to His Royal Highness.

"Didn't the second brother leave the capital either, why does the second brother have a fief, but the starling can't have a fief?" Although I always knew that my father didn't like the son of starling, I didn't expect that my father didn't even want to give the fief to Starling, which was too much.

"How can I compare with my second brother." The Eighth Prince didn't pay much attention to this matter, "There's nothing wrong with not having a fief for the time being." Besides, with the fiefdom, I can't stay in the capital to help my eldest brother with peace of mind. ”

Yu Hai couldn't stand it anymore, and said unjustly for the eighth prince: "Your Highness, all princes will have fiefs when they become adults, but you don't have them, this is not ......" Yu Hai's eyes were red, and he didn't dare to finish his words. However, after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you are the emperor's own son, why does the emperor ...... you?"

The Eighth Prince interrupted Yu Hai's words and glared at Yu Hai sternly.

Yu Hai was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"The seventh brother stayed in the capital, didn't he also have a fief, why didn't the father give you the fief, the father was too much." He didn't understand why his father hated starlings so much, and starlings didn't do anything wrong, let alone do heinous things. Over the years, at least on the surface, the starling brother is very honest, and he has been trying his best to assist the prince's brother. No matter how angry the father is with the starling's mother, he can't always be angry with the starling, which is too unfair to the starling.

"Starling, I'll help you ask your father tomorrow and ask him why he didn't give you a fief."

Seeing Zhao Yao's angry appearance, the eighth prince hurriedly said to him: "Tenth brother, don't ask your father, if you ask your father, you will make your father angry." Besides, I don't care if there is a fief or not. "It doesn't matter to him whether he has a fief or not.

"But ......"

"No, but, listen to the starling, you don't care about this matter." The eighth prince was happy that Zhao Yao was angry with him, but he didn't want to involve the tenth brother. "If you anger your father, you will be punished for copying books."

"Starling, even if my father punishes me for copying books 10,000 times, I will be upset for you." When Zhao Yao said this, he was a little weak-hearted, because the emperor was very partial to his youngest son.

"I'm really fine, you don't have to be angry for me." The eighth prince appeased him for a long time, and finally made Zhao Yao dispel the idea of helping him get angry.

"Starling, I'm just sorry for you." Starling thought that he was not favored by his father like him, and if Starling found out that this was not the case in the future, I don't know if Starling would hate him. "Father is not fair to you."

"I don't care." The Eighth Prince stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhao Yao's little head, "Starling just has you as a younger brother." "He has long been unwilling to expect his father's love. For him, it is enough to have ten younger brothers.

"Starling, if I have a fief in the future, I will give you half of my fief."

"Okay." The Eighth Prince didn't say anything more about it, and changed the subject to something else. After talking for a while, he reminded Zhao Yao that it was not too early, and it was time for him to go to bed.

Zhao Yao originally planned to sleep with the Eighth Prince tonight, but because of his weak heart, he didn't dare to stay overnight.

The eighth prince happened to have something to do, and it was just what he wanted if Zhao Yao didn't stay. He asked Yu Hai to send Zhao Yao out.

"Yu Hai, did the prince's brother help the starling fight for the fief?"

"Yes, but the emperor still said that he would give His Highness a fief in the future." Yu Hai felt aggrieved for the Eighth Prince, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that in the future, he will give His Royal Highness a good place as a fief." ”

"Fortunately, there is also the prince's brother who is good to the starling."

Zhao Yao said a few more words to let Yu Hai take good care of the Eighth Prince, and then left.

After returning to his yard, Zhao Yao sighed heavily: "Alas......"

"Your Highness, do you feel sorry for Your Highness?" Tongxi is worthy of being Zhao Yao's eunuch who serves him closely.

"Sort of." Zhao Yao rubbed his nose weakly and said, "If the starling knows the truth in the future, I'm afraid that the starling will hate me to death." ”

"No, besides, Your Highness, you didn't deliberately hide it from Your Eighth Highness, after all, didn't you know it before." Tongxi said, "Also, no one can see it, and it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness to know." ”

Zhao Yao thought about it and felt that it was too. If it weren't for that assassination, he wouldn't have found out that his father cared about him.

"Alas, my father really ...... to starlings It makes the starling look like he picked it up. ”

"Really." Tongxi asked curiously and suspiciously, "Your Highness, what did the mother of the Eighth Highness do to make the emperor dislike her and her son so much?" ”

"I asked my mother, and my mother only knew that the mother's concubine climbed onto the dragon bed while her father was drunk, and the others didn't know."

"Your Highness, if this is the case, it won't make the emperor hate His Royal Highness and their mother and son so much."

"There must be something else." Zhao Yao had a guess in his heart, which should be related to the Southern Wei Dynasty. Although Starling's mother is not from the Southern Wei Dynasty, she must be inextricably related to the Southern Wei Dynasty, otherwise her father would not be so angry.

"Your Highness, although Your Eighth Highness is powerful, it is really pitiful." Dad doesn't hurt, mother doesn't love it.

Zhao Yao sighed again with a melancholy expression: "Alas......"

Tongxi said: "Your Highness, if you feel weak-hearted, treat Your Highness the Eighth better." ”

"Do you think I want to ask my father tomorrow?" Zhao Yao was entangled in his heart, he had been pretending not to know anything for the past few years, if he ran to ask his father, would he have pierced that layer of paper. To be honest, he thinks it's good to get along with his father like this. If he punctured that layer of paper, he didn't know how to face his father, and he always felt embarrassed.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Eighth is not to let you take care of it, the slave maid thinks that His Highness the Eighth must have his own ideas, you better not interfere, maybe you will do His Highness the Eighth a disservice."

"You're right, then I won't ask tomorrow." He could see that the starling really didn't care if there was a fief or not. With the means of the starling, as well as the power of the Southern Wei Dynasty behind him, maybe the starling has already had his own "fiefdom".

Speaking of which, what did Starling make Uwe do and succeed?

At this moment, Xiao Jin flew back from outside and flew to Zhao Yao's arm.

Zhao Yao saw that there was a letter on Xiaojin's feet, so he hurriedly took it down and looked at it.

Tong Xi saw that Zhao Yao's expression suddenly became very shocked, and he hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Highness, what happened?" ”

Zhao Yao said with a solemn face: "The second cousin of the sixth brother, that is, the second son of the Yuan family, has died. ”

Zhao Yao: I'm afraid that starlings will beat me to death in the future.

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