Seeing many beautiful sisters staring at the fourth prince, Zhao Yao covered his mouth and started "laughing evilly".

When the Eighth Prince saw Zhao Yao smiling so treacherously, he asked funnyly: "Why are you laughing?"

Zhao Yao raised his chin and pursed his lips towards the girls who were staring at the fourth prince on the roadside, "Bago, you see they are all staring at the fourth prince."

The Eighth Prince glanced at it and said in a cold tone: "What's this?"

"Bago, there are many people looking at you."

The Eighth Prince was not in good health and was a little frail, which made his appearance look a bit feminine. In addition, his figure was thin and he looked like a girl.

His biological mother was from Jiangnan. She was beautiful and gentle. Among the palace maids, her appearance was very good, even compared with the concubines. She always knew that she was good-looking, so she was unwilling to be a palace maid.

So, while Emperor Wu of Zhou was drunk, he climbed onto the dragon bed.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't like the eighth prince, partly because he hated his biological mother, and partly because he looked too much like his biological mother. It can be said that the eighth prince looked exactly like his mother and concubine, and looked nothing like Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Every time he saw the eighth prince, Emperor Wu of Zhou would think of his biological mother and how he was being plotted by his biological mother.

The thing that the Eighth Prince hates most about himself is his face. Also, he hates people saying he is good-looking, and even more hates people saying he looks like a woman.

The Eighth Prince cast curious and admiring glances at the woman on the side of the road. The Eighth Prince felt very disgusted, and he could not help but feel anxious in his heart. However, he had always been good at controlling his emotions and would not let his true thoughts be revealed.

"Ignore them."

Seeing that the eighth prince's face was a little cold, Zhao Yao knew that his eighth brother was angry. He didn't know why his eighth prince hated women and didn't like others saying he was good-looking. If others praised him for his good looks, he would not be happy in time.

Zhao Yao approached the fourth prince and asked curiously: "Fourth brother, what kind of woman do you like?"

The fourth prince did not expect that Zhao Yao would ask him such a question. He was slightly startled, and then asked: "Why do you ask this?"

"I'm just curious. Fourth brother, you will become a king the year after next, and your father will definitely grant you a marriage next year." Zhao Yao stared at the fourth prince with a pair of obsidian eyes shining with gossip, "Fourth brother, do you like it?

What kind of woman is she? Beautiful or not."

The fourth prince had never thought about this matter. Now that Zhao Yao asked him so suddenly, he really didn't know how to answer.

"Oh..." Zhao Yao said in a deliberately long tone, "Fourth brother, you must like a woman who is good at reading." Fourth brother is a good reader, so he must like a woman who is as good at reading as him.

"I haven't thought about it," the fourth prince said in a calm tone. "My father has given me a marriage. It doesn't matter whether I like it or not." Although the fourth prince has not thought about his future concubine, it does not mean that he does not understand the relationship between men and women.

things.

"Why is it not important anymore?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "Fourth brother, does your father want you to marry a particularly annoying person? Do you want to marry him?"

"The concubine that my father has chosen for me must be the most suitable for me." The fourth prince added, "It doesn't matter whether you like her or not, the most important thing is that she is suitable."

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yao looking at him with a blank look on his face. He couldn't help but laugh, and then he raised his hand and gently tapped Zhao Yao's little head.

"You are still young, and you don't understand even if I say it."

"Fourth brother, do you understand?"

"I know better than you." The fourth prince stopped talking about this topic and changed the topic to talk about tomorrow night's dinner.

As soon as Zhao Yao heard about the dinner tomorrow night, his mind turned to the delicious food and he did not ask the fourth prince about it again.

When the eighth prince heard the conversation between the fourth prince and Zhao Yao, a flash of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Yao talked to the fourth prince from time to time, and chatted with the eighth prince from time to time. After a while, they finally arrived at the gate of the palace.

The prince dismounted first, and then he dismounted on behalf of the king.

Except for Emperor Wu of Zhou who could ride into the palace, no one was allowed to ride into the palace.

The prince asked the imperial guards and ministers to go back. King Dai also asked his soldiers to go back. The prince asked the soldiers under King Dai to go home and have a good rest. Emperor Zhou Wu will give rewards tomorrow, and there will be a celebration banquet in the evening.

Let them keep their spirits up.

"Second brother, my father is still waiting for you, let's go into the palace." The prince said to the third prince and the others, "Third brother, you go back first."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing the prince and the king walking side by side towards Chengguang Hall, the third prince laughed inexplicably, then took out a folding fan from his arms and shook it gently.

"Fifth brother, sixth brother, would you like to have a cup of tea in my room?"

"Third brother invites us, so we should obey." The fifth prince said with a smile.

"Let's go."

When Zhao Yao saw the fourth prince looking at him, he was so frightened that he immediately retreated behind the eighth prince, "Fourth brother, you said you don't want me to come to your room. Can't you just keep your word?"

The fourth prince smiled helplessly and said: "I want to remind you not to forget to copy the Analects of Confucius."

"Fourth brother, I will not forget it. I will go back and copy it right away."

The fourth prince said nothing more and turned back to Xingdeok Palace.

Among the princes, except the seventh prince, the ninth prince and Zhao Yao did not live in Xingdeok Palace, everyone else did.

"Bago, I will go back and copy the Analects of Confucius first. We will see you tomorrow." Zhao Yao said with a wilted voice.

The Eighth Prince grabbed Zhao Yao's back collar and said to him with a smile: "You go to my place and we will copy it together."

Only then did Zhao Yao remember that the Eighth Prince had been helping him copy "The Analects of Confucius". His eyes that had just been dimmed suddenly became very bright, and his delicate and cute little face showed an expectant look.

"Brother Bage, help me copy..." Before he could finish his words, the Eighth Prince covered his mouth.

"Shh, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back to Xingdeok Palace first."

"Okay." Zhao Yao followed the eighth prince obediently.

Heungdeok Palace is very large, and the princes who live in it have their own courtyards. Once you enter the courtyard, there are more than a dozen or twenty rooms. However, the courtyard where the eighth prince lives is not large, with only about ten rooms.

The eighth prince's courtyard is located in the most remote part of Xingde Palace, but it is an extremely quiet place. The third prince and others never come to the eighth prince's courtyard, nor do they send people to keep an eye on the eighth prince. This leaves the eighth prince in his

There are many things to do in the yard.

When you walk into Heungdeokgung Palace, the first thing you see is a large garden. The layout of the garden is very Jiangnan style, and every part is very elegant.

As soon as I walked into Heungdeok Palace, I heard the laughter of the third prince and the fifth prince.

"What are Third Brother and the others laughing at? They are laughing so happily?" Zhao Yao has never been to the Third Prince's courtyard because the Third Prince and the others would not let him in.

"Don't worry about them."

At this time, Yu Hai came over and saluted the Eighth Prince and Zhao Yao: "I have met His Highness, and I have met His Tenth Highness."

The Eighth Prince nodded lightly and then ordered Yu Hai: "Let the small kitchen make a bowl of milk tea for the tenth brother."

Zhao Yao said hurriedly: "Put more honey."

"Yes, Your Highness Tenth."

"Have you made any snacks in the kitchen today?"

"Go back to your highness and do some things."

"I'll bring it later for my tenth brother to try."

"Bago is still nice to me."

Zhao Yao followed the eighth prince to the study. The eighth prince took out the copied "The Analects of Confucius" and showed it to him. He counted it carefully, and the eighth prince helped him copy it fifty times.

This was a huge surprise for Zhao Yao. He hugged the eighth prince and shouted happily, "Myna is the best", "Myna is the most powerful", "Myna is the best person in the world" and other words.

On the other side, in the imperial study, King Dai was reporting to Emperor Wu of Zhou about the great victory in Liangzhou. But the prince was not in the imperial study, but had returned to the East Palace.

It was not Emperor Wu of Zhou who asked the prince to step down, but the prince who considerately took the initiative to step aside, leaving Emperor Wu of Zhou and the king alone to be alone.

Although King Dai wrote several letters to Emperor Wu of Zhou before he returned to Beijing, in which he described the process of quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, they were not very specific.

It took the king an hour to report the great victory in Liangzhou, and then he looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou with an expression asking for praise.

Emperor Zhou Wu looked at his appearance and said with a smile: "You did a good job. It was better than I imagined. You didn't disappoint me."

Although many people praised King Dai for quelling the chaos in Liangzhou this time, King Dai still wanted to hear Emperor Zhou Wu praise him with his own ears. For him, Emperor Zhou Wu's praise and recognition were the most important.
