Chapter Ten Adding Eight Beads
Several young eunuchs were talking when they saw the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince approaching. They were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and saluted the two Highnesses. Then they left in a hurry.
Zhao Yao looked at the eighth prince and asked with confusion and curiosity: "Bago, what do they mean by adding eight beads just now? What does it mean when the second brother wants to add eight beads?"
"It was the rule of the previous dynasty to add beads to princes. Princes are divided into one-bead princes, two-bead princes, and three-bead princes... The highest level of a prince is the seven-bead prince. The eight-bead prince is not what a prince should have, because the prince is the eight-bead prince.
The nine beads are the emperor." The eighth prince had already heard about what happened in the morning.
Zhao Yao understood, nodded and said: "So that's it." As he said that, he looked at the Eighth Prince with admiration, "Bago, you are so awesome, you even know this."
The Eighth Prince gently tapped Zhao Yao's little head and said with a smile: "If you read more books, you will also know these things."
When Zhao Yao heard what his Bage said, he rolled his eyes: "Bago, can you always change the topic to reading or studying? You know I don't like it."
Seeing Zhao Yao's angry face, the Eighth Prince reached out and poked his angry little face, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
Zhao Yao was not interested in Jiazhu, so he did not ask the eighth prince about this matter again, and changed the subject to talk about the breakfast he just had.
When the Eighth Prince saw Zhao Yao happily talking about the good things he had for breakfast, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. In the Tenth Brother's heart, nothing was as important as delicious food. For something as important as adding the Eight Pearls to the King's behalf, he
But he didn't care at all.
The tenth brother is the stupidest among them all, but the tenth brother has a simple heart that they do not have. In the palace, having a simple heart is extremely rare, but it is also extremely dangerous.
In this palace, no matter whether it is their prince, eunuchs or maids, everyone has eight hundred minds. If there is no mind, you will not be able to survive in this place that eats people without spitting out their bones.
For a simple person like the eighth brother... Fortunately, Liang Zhaoyi was not very favored, and her mother's family did not have much influence, so they would not be involved in this power struggle.
There is nothing wrong with Badi being stupid and simple. Besides, he will protect Badi and the others and will not let Badi and the others get into trouble.
As Zhao Yao spoke, he found that his eighth brother was lost in thought again, and he sighed deeply and helplessly in his heart.
Alas, his eighth brother...
As soon as the two brothers entered the Hall of Wende, they heard the Ninth Prince talking about how King Dai had won a great victory. He stood on the table and talked lively and danced.
Zhao Yao curled his lips and said with a tone full of disgust: "Brother Ninth is showing off again. It's not like he won the battle. Look at his proud face, it seems like he won the battle."
"The second brother is the biological brother of the ninth brother. To the ninth brother, if the second brother wins the battle, he will win the battle."
"Hmph, I think Ninth Brother should become a storyteller." Zhao Yao complained unceremoniously, "No storyteller is as good as him."
"Just ignore him."
Zhao Yao grabbed the eighth prince's arm, looked at him with worry and said: "Brother Bage, you didn't come to study yesterday. Brother Ninth will be staring at you all day today and talking about the victory of the second brother. If you ignore him,
, he will be angry and will fight with you endlessly." One good thing for him is that Brother Bage came to study today, that is, Brother Ninth will no longer just show off to him the fact that he won on behalf of the king. Thanks to Brother Bage,
, he was freed.
The eighth prince gave Zhao Yao a reassuring look, "I know how to deal with him."
After saying that, the two of them walked into the school together. Then, they greeted the royal brothers.
As expected, Zhao Yao was right. When the Ninth Prince saw the Eighth Prince, he started chattering and showing off to the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince pretended to listen very carefully, and at the same time pretended to show admiration and shock.
The Ninth Prince was very satisfied with the Eighth Prince's reaction, so he spoke even more energetically.
Zhao Yao marveled in his heart that his Bage's acting skills were so good. Compared with Bage, his performance yesterday was too perfunctory. However, Ninth Brother didn't notice it either.
"Tenth brother."
When Zhao Yao saw the fourth prince, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Fourth brother."
"I'll give you a test before sir."
The smile on Zhao Yao's face suddenly froze, and then he showed a pitiful look: "Fourth brother..."
The fourth prince was unmoved and said ruthlessly: "First recite to me what Mr. taught yesterday."
Zhao Yao's small face instantly turned into a bitter one. He looked at the fourth prince begging for mercy: "Fourth brother, can I not carry it?"
After hearing this, the fourth prince raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can't memorize it?"
Zhao Yao scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Fourth brother, you also know that I am stupid. I can't recite it every time."
"Did you understand Mr. yesterday's explanation?"
Zhao Yao didn't remember what the teacher said yesterday at all. He didn't listen to the class.
"No."
"Then I'll explain it to you first. If you still don't understand, I'll tell you again."
"Fourth Brother, I'm so stupid. Every time you tell me so many times, I still don't understand. You'd better stop teaching me." He liked Fourth Brother very much, but he didn't like this.
The fourth prince reached out and touched Zhao Yao's head and said warmly: "It's okay. I'll teach you a few more times and you'll understand."
Zhao Yao tried this method to make the fourth prince give up teaching his stupid brother, but the fourth prince still insisted on teaching him.
"Then it's troublesome for Fourth Brother."
Before his husband came, the fourth prince told Zhao Yao in detail what he had mentioned yesterday.
On the other side, the Ninth Prince sat directly on the Eighth Prince's desk, talking endlessly about how his second brother defeated the rebels with great power. Until the gentleman came, the Ninth Prince was still talking. If the gentleman hadn't stopped him, he would still have wanted to
Go on.
Not long after class started, the Ninth Prince interrupted the teacher and asked him about the beads given to the prince in the previous dynasty.
Before the Ninth Prince came to the Wende Hall, he heard about the bead that was going to be given to his second brother.
The gentleman did not expect that the Ninth Prince would ask about Prince Jiazhu. After being slightly startled, he then asked what Prince Jiazhu was about.
After the gentleman finished speaking, the Ninth Prince asked again: "Sir, my brother has made so many contributions, how many beads do you think my brother can add?"
The gentleman was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then said: "Prince Jiazhu is a rule of the previous dynasty, and our dynasty does not have this rule. Furthermore, the acting king is already a prince, and his status is extremely noble."
The Ninth Prince raised his chin and said arrogantly: "Sir, you are wrong. I will soon have Prince Jiazhu, and my brother will soon have Jiazhu."
The gentleman didn't know what happened in the morning. Now when he heard what the Ninth Prince said, he was very surprised: "You want to add beads on behalf of the king?"
"Yes, and eight beads will be added." The Ninth Prince made an "eight" gesture, "My brother is going to be the eight-bead prince."
"Eight beads?" After hearing this, the gentleman immediately lowered his face and said, "That's ridiculous. How can the acting king add eight beads?"
The Ninth Prince was not happy to hear what he said. He stood up and asked angrily: "Why can't my brother add Prince Bazhu?"
The gentleman said solemnly: "Only the prince can have eight beads, and the prince can only add seven beads."
The third prince said at this time: "Sir, the ninth brother wants to be the crown prince on behalf of the king."
The fifth prince echoed the words of the third prince and said: "The ninth brother thinks that based on the contribution he has made on behalf of the king, the king on behalf of the king is the crown prince."
The sixth prince also said: "Prince Jia Bazhu doesn't want to become the prince."
The seventh prince said: "The prince's brother is still here, but the acting king actually wants to be the prince. He is really ambitious."
The fourth prince and the eighth prince did not speak.
Zhao Yao felt that if he had such a stupid younger brother as the Ninth Prince, he would be furious. Although King Dai has always wanted to be a prince and has shown it openly, King Dai will not be stupid enough to publicly say that he wants to do so.
Prince.
Now that the Ninth Prince has publicly said that King Dai should be the crown prince, this is not helping his second brother, but cheating King Dai.
When the Ninth Prince heard what the Third Prince and the others said, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly said: "Third brother, you should stop spewing nonsense. What I said was that my brother wanted to be the Prince of Bazhu, not the Crown Prince."
The seventh prince retorted: "Sir, didn't you just say that only the prince can have eight beads, and the highest level of the prince can only have seven beads. When you said that the acting king should add eight beads, didn't you just say that the acting king should be the prince?
"
"Zhao Jing, you have wronged me and my brother. Only the prince can have the Eight Pearls. It was a rule of the previous dynasty, not mine." The Ninth Prince's mind was still spinning very fast, "Father said
Maybe Jia Bazhu will be designated as the highest-ranking prince in our dynasty. Third brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, and Zhao Jing, please stop framing my brother and me here. I know you are jealous of my brother’s many achievements.
Credit.”
The third prince said: "Ninth brother, Prince Jia Bazhu is what you said."
"But I didn't say that my brother wants to be the crown prince, you did." The Ninth Prince sneered, "I know that you are jealous of my brother's continuous meritorious service, so you want to harm my brother. I will tell my father what you just said,
Said you wanted to harm my brother."
Zhao Yao clicked his tongue in his heart, Ninth Brother reacted quite quickly, and actually turned around and slandered Third Brother and the others.
The Third Prince and the others were about to say something more, but were interrupted by their husband. The husband was too lazy to watch this farce anymore: "Quiet, continue with class."
The Ninth Prince glanced at the Third Prince and the others provocatively, but he did not ask any more questions after that.
