The king was sitting on a tall horse, enjoying the admiration and calls of the people from a high position.
The prince looked at the people kneeling on the ground with a proud smile, looking excited and looking at the king with enthusiasm and admiration. At this moment, King Dai is a great hero in the eyes of the people.
The third prince who followed the prince and the king on behalf of others looked ugly for a moment when they saw the people supporting the king on behalf of them so much. However, he soon returned to his smiling face. Containing one's emotions, hiding one's true thoughts, and maintaining a decent smile no matter what happens are skills that the Third Prince and the others have learned since childhood.
The fifth prince tilted his body in the direction of the third prince, and then pursed his lips towards the third prince.
The third prince looked in the direction where the fifth prince was pouting. It was His Royal Highness.
"What's wrong?"
The fifth prince said softly: "The prince is really able to keep his composure."
At this time, the voices of the people shouting "His Royal Highness" kept ringing in their ears.
The third prince understood what the fifth prince meant. He took a deep look at His Royal Highness in front of him and said slightly mockingly: "He has to keep calm." As he said that, he held the riding crop in his right hand and gently tapped the palm of his left hand. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Just wait and see, it won't be long before the prince loses his composure."
The fifth prince smiled and said: "Then there will be a good show to watch."
The sixth prince said: "We are waiting for the king to come back, isn't it just to watch the show?"
The fourth prince was beside the sixth prince. Although the third prince and the fifth prince spoke very quietly, the fourth prince still heard them. The fourth prince has a special skill, that is, his ears are particularly sensitive. He has been hearing small sounds since he was a child.
After hearing the conversation between the third prince and the sixth prince, he frowned slightly.
The eighth prince and Zhao Yao were behind the fourth prince, and they didn't pay attention to the third prince.
Seeing how excited the people were, Zhao Yao kept shouting "His Royal Highness the King" instead of "His Royal Highness the Prince", thinking that the effect Xuan Pinghou wanted was achieved. At this moment, the people only saw the acting king, not the prince.
"Ba Ge, the second brother is so majestic."
When the Eighth Prince heard what Zhao Yao said, he asked jokingly: "Are you envious?"
Zhao Yao shook his head without any hesitation: "I'm not envious."
"No envy, why not envy?" Anyone who sees such a scene will feel envious and want to become the acting king. "Didn't you just say that the second brother is so majestic like this?"
"It's very majestic, but I don't envy it." Zhao Yao tilted his little head and said, "Because I'm not the second brother, I won't be as powerful as the second brother. Besides, when I grow up, I just want to go to fun places. , eat delicious food." At this point, he suddenly stopped, and then lowered his voice and said to the Eighth Prince, "I don't like fighting, and I don't want to fight. Brother Bage, don't tell other people, if Ninth Brother If you know, you will definitely laugh at me for being timid and say that I am not worthy of being my father’s son.”
The eighth prince smiled reassuringly at Zhao Yao: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Everyone wants to be the acting king, someone who is supported by ministers and people, and someone who stands at the center of power. But the tenth brother doesn't want to be the acting king, he just wants to do what he wants to do.
Although the tenth brother is still very young and only became enlightened this year and does not understand many things, the tenth brother is very self-aware and knows that he cannot become as powerful a person as Dai Wang.
Faced with power at such a close distance, the tenth brother was not moved at all. I really don't know whether to call him innocent or stupid.
"Bago, look at this..." Zhao Yao pointed to the pastry shop on the roadside and introduced it to the Eighth Prince, "The dim sum in this shop is very delicious. I bought this jujube paste cake for you to eat last year. You It also said it was delicious, do you remember?"
"Remember, you always say, it's hard for me not to remember."
"Bago, the sesame cakes sold at the intersection ahead are also delicious. I have bought them for you before, do you remember?"
"Remember."
"And..." Zhao Yao kept introducing delicious food to the eighth prince. The Eighth Prince didn't mind him being noisy, he listened to him very carefully and responded to him from time to time.
Although the fourth prince sitting in front did not turn around to talk to Zhao Yao and the others, he kept listening to Zhao Yao's words attentively. Every time he heard Zhao Yao talk about delicious food, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Zhao Yao talking about the delicious food, he was beaming with joy and dancing with his hands and feet. He almost fell off the horse several times because he was not paying attention. Fortunately, the Eighth Prince caught his arm in time.
The eighth prince held his water bag and handed it to Zhao Yao, and said helplessly and dotingly: "Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink of water?"
Just as Zhao Yao was about to take the water bag and drink water, a commoner rushed into the middle of the road from the side of the road and blocked the way of the prince and the king with open hands.
The prince and the king reined in their horses in time, otherwise they would hit this man.
The man knelt down in front of King Dai's horse, kowtowed three times, and then shouted loudly: "Your Highness, King Dai, you are our great hero, you should be the crown prince..." His words had not yet finished. After saying that, the guards covered his mouth and dragged him down.
No one expected this to happen. The imperial guards and the eunuchs who followed him knelt down to apologize.
The people on both sides of the road were shocked when they saw the guards with knives kneeling down to plead guilty, and then they all knelt down with horror on their faces.
The prince raised his hand to signal the guards to get up. He said with a gentle look: "It's okay, keep walking." He said this calmly, as if he didn't take what happened just now to his heart at all.
The imperial guards and the eunuchs who followed quickly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The prince turned to the king and said, "Second brother, you don't have to worry about it."
The king didn't care. He smiled and said, "Brother, I didn't care."
The censor Zhongcheng who was following the ministers behind him saw that the king not only did not apologize to the prince for what had just happened, but instead looked proud, and frowned deeply.
When other ministers saw this scene, their expressions were very subtle. The people in the prince's party were naturally very angry. They had already planned how to show off the arrogance and rudeness of the acting king at the morning court tomorrow. The ministers from Dai Wang's party naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, they believed that the man just said was right.
The prince continued to talk and laugh with the king, and seemed to have really forgotten what had just happened.
What just happened made King Dai feel good, and he started chatting with the prince seriously. Before, Daiwang had been dealing with the prince perfunctorily.
The prince and the prince continued to talk and laugh, and they seemed to be a pair of respectful brothers.
The third prince and the others saw that the prince was not angry at all about what had just happened, and they were surprised and surprised: the prince had changed his gender, and he was not angry at all. This was not the usual prince.
Even if the prince could pretend to be calm, he should not be able to pretend anymore when faced with the situation just now. However, instead of being angry, he continued to talk to King Dai with a smile.
The prince really doesn't mind?
impossible! No one could be indifferent to the affairs of talents.
The prince has really grown a lot this time, and he can really keep his composure.
"It shouldn't be." The third prince said unconsciously.
When the fifth prince heard what the third prince said, he hurriedly asked: "Third brother, what shouldn't you do?"
"Don't you find it strange that the prince is not angry?"
"Of course it's strange." The fifth prince asked, "Third brother, what kind of medicine do you think the prince is selling in his gourd?"
The sixth prince came over and said, "I just gave the prince such a big embarrassment. The prince can still talk and laugh with the king." As he said, he thought of a possibility and said with a strange expression, "The prince can't Are you possessed?"
The third prince narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "There must be something fishy in this."
The five princes didn't think so: "The man must have arranged Xuanping Hou just now, in order to embarrass the prince." Then, he rose up, "Oh, the king, he couldn't wait to get off the prince to the prince. .”
The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Isn't the show about to begin?" After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
The fourth prince and Zhao Yao didn't think so. The fourth prince was a little surprised at first, but soon he figured out what was going on, and a deep look flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Yao had a silly and innocent expression on his face, but in his heart he was lamenting that His Highness had dug another hole for the King.
I just returned to Beijing on behalf of the king, and so many good things happened one after another. It was really... fun!
Next, I'm afraid that the drama between the prince's brother and the king will continue to unfold.
