Zhao Yao cried more and more fiercely: "Father bullied me..."
Emperor Zhou Wu was a little panicked. While wiping Zhao Yao's tears, he coaxed stiffly: "I'm just joking with you."
Sun Kui saw Emperor Zhou Wu wiping Zhao Yao's tears, which made His Highness the Tenth Prince's face become increasingly red. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I quickly went to get a handkerchief.
"Your Majesty, wipe it with a handkerchief."
Emperor Wu of Zhou took the yellow kerchief from Sun Kui. It was made of fine silk and did not hurt when rubbed on his face.
"You are a man, you can't cry."
Zhao Yao cried and sobbed: "I am not a man, I am a child, and children can cry."
He stared at Emperor Zhou Wu accusingly, "Father, you hurt me, why can't I cry?"
"It's obviously all your fault, but you still blame me." Zhao Yao looked aggrieved, "Father, you are so bad."
"Okay, okay, my father shouldn't hurt you." Emperor Wu of Zhou coaxed warmly, "Stop crying, okay?"
"No." Zhao Yao said very loudly, "I want to go back to find my mother."
Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up his youngest son and asked Zhao Yao to sit on his lap. He deliberately scared him and said: "If you cry again, I will punish you to copy the Analects of Confucius..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yao let out a "wow" and started crying, even harder.
It was obviously his father's fault, so why did his father punish him to copy the Analects of Confucius?
Emperor Wu of Zhou was completely panicked and looked at Sun Kui for help.
Sun Kui's mind was spinning quickly and he immediately went out to ask Sun Doudou to bring some snacks.
Emperor Wu of Zhou hurriedly coaxed: "My father is scaring you, so I won't punish you for copying the Analects of Confucius."
This sentence did not make Zhao Yao stop crying, "Woooooooooo..."
At this moment, Sun Kui walked in with a plate of snacks.
"Your Highness, this servant brings your favorite snack, please try it."
He picked up a piece of snack and handed it to Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Emperor Zhou Wu took the snack and fed it to Zhao Yao's mouth: "This is your favorite jujube cake."
Zhao Yao turned his head and refused to eat.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou directly fed the jujube paste cake into Zhao Yao's mouth.
"Your Majesty..." Sun Kuigang was about to stop him, but Emperor Wu of Zhou had already stuffed the jujube cake into Zhao Yao's mouth. He looked worriedly, fearing that Zhao Yao would choke to death.
Emperor Wu of Zhou was still a little cautious, so he did not stuff the whole piece of jujube cake into Zhao Yao's mouth, but stuffed a small part of it into Zhao Yao's mouth.
Zhao Yao was angry and didn't want to eat the jujube cake. He was about to spit it out when he heard his father say: "If you spit it out, you are not allowed to eat jujube cake again." He added, "I won't have any snacks in the future." Allowed to eat.”
After Zhao Yao heard this, he forgot to cry and stared straightly.
"If you eat the jujube cake now, you can still have snacks in the future." Emperor Wu of Zhou threatened, "Will you eat it?"
Sun Kui: "..." Oh, my emperor, are you so coaxing to children?
This threat is very useful to Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao glared at Emperor Zhou Wu fiercely, and immediately ate the jujube paste cake in his mouth vigorously. He chewed very hard, as if he was biting someone.
After Zhao Yao finished eating, Emperor Zhou Wu stuffed another jujube paste cake into his mouth.
Zhao Yao choked and coughed violently.
Emperor Wu of Zhou hurriedly grabbed the tea cup on the royal table and fed Zhao Yao some water.
Zhao Yao drank several sips of tea before he stopped coughing.
"Keep eating." Emperor Wu of Zhou pointed to the plate of snacks placed on the imperial table, "This plate of snacks is yours." As he said that, he suddenly thought of something and told Sun Kui, "Go and prepare a bowl of sugar water. "
As soon as he heard the word "sugar water", Zhao Yao's eyes lit up instantly. Then he thought of something and looked at Emperor Zhou Wu warily: "Father, you are not going to put coptis in the sugar water again, are you?"
"I won't let you go this time. However, if you still cry, I will have Coptis released."
Zhao Yao: "..." Why does he have such a bad father?
Sun Kui: "..." Your Majesty, even if you usually tease the ministers in a bad way, why are you teasing His Highness the Tenth Prince? Is this something a normal father can do by putting Coptis chinensis in His Royal Highness's sugar water?
"Are you still crying?"
Zhao Yao didn't dare to cry even if he wanted to. If I cry again, not only will I have no snacks to eat in the future, I will also have to drink sugar water with coptis added.
"Do not cry."
"That's good." Emperor Wu of Zhou turned his head and looked at Sun Kui and said, "Go and bring the sugar water."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, Sun Kui came back with the sugar water he had just made.
Emperor Wu of Zhou took the sugar water and tasted it first without rushing to give it to his youngest son. Seeing that the sugar water was a little hot, he scooped it up with a spoon and blew on it.
When the sugar water was a little cold, he fed Zhao Yao a drink.
The sweetness of the sugar water brought a happy smile to Zhao Yao's face.
Seeing that his youngest son's eyes turned into crescent moons after drinking sugar water, Emperor Zhou Wu said with a smile: "Is sugar water so delicious?"
"Delicious and sweet!" Zhao Yao likes sweet things. As long as you eat something sweet, you will become happy.
"If you eat too much sweet food, bugs will grow in your teeth. Aren't you afraid that the bugs will damage your teeth?"
"I'm not afraid of bugs."
"Don't cry when your teeth fall out."
Zhao Yao retorted unconvinced: "I won't cry."
Emperor Wu of Zhou said jokingly: "Who was crying just now, a puppy?"
"If you hadn't pinched me so hard, Father, I wouldn't have cried." Zhao Yao said angrily, "Father, you are the culprit."
"Oh, that's good. We also know the culprit." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled and said, "It seems that he has been studying hard during this period."
When Zhao Yao mentioned the word "study", he couldn't help but feel nervous. He looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou with wary eyes: "Father, you won't punish me to copy books again, will you?"
"I asked you to copy the Analects of Confucius a hundred times before. Have you finished it?" Emperor Wu of Zhou deliberately said with a straight face, "If you haven't finished it, I will punish you to copy it another hundred times."
"It's almost finished." Fortunately, Bago helped him copy it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to finish it by himself. If he couldn't finish copying, he would never finish copying if he had to copy it a hundred times.
"I will check it." Emperor Wu of Zhou pretended to be stern and said, "If you fool me, I will never let you off lightly!"
Zhao Yao felt a little guilty, with a look of fear on his face.
When Emperor Zhou Wu saw it, he quickly put away the serious expression on his face and continued to feed Zhao Yao sugar water.
Zhao Yao finished drinking the sugar water and continued eating jujube paste cake.
Seeing his youngest son holding the jujube paste cake in both hands and eating bit by bit with his head lowered, Emperor Zhou Wu felt soft in his heart.
Sun Kui on the side also looked at Zhao Yao eating with a loving face.
Your Highness is so cute.
The plate of snacks was quickly eaten by Zhao Yao.
"Hiccup..." Zhao Yao burped.
"I am full?"
"Actually, I can still have another plate of dim sum." He could never get enough of the dim sum.
"No more, no more food allowed."
Zhao Yao curled his lips unhappily and muttered softly: "Stingy."
"Okay, I received your thanks, get out." Emperor Zhou Wu put down Zhao Yao and reached out to spank his youngest son.
Zhao Yao bowed to Emperor Zhou Wu honestly, "My son, I take my leave." After saying that, he made a face at Emperor Zhou Wu and stuck out his tongue. Then, he hurriedly ran out of the imperial study room.
Seeing Zhao Yao leaving, Ling Yun glanced at Emperor Zhou Wu.
Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded to it: "Go."
Ling Yun hurriedly flew out to chase Zhao Yao.
"Your Majesty, did you really let Coptis chinensis slip into His Royal Highness's sugar water?" Sun Kui didn't know about this. This was the first time he heard about it.
"This brat likes sweets. In addition to eating snacks every day, he also likes to drink sugar water. He especially likes to drink sugar water before going to bed at night. I was afraid that he would damage his teeth, so I deliberately put coptis in his sugar water." Emperor Wu of Zhou chuckled. "After drinking the sugar water from Coptis chinensis that time, he never dared to drink sugar water before going to bed again."
Sun Kui: "..." Most people would not think of putting Coptis chinensis in sugar water.
"I was also doing his best, but it turned out that this brat held a grudge." Emperor Zhou Wu shook his head helplessly and smiled fondly, "It's not like me at all, but he looks a bit like his elder brother."
"Prince Yiyong?"
When the late emperor ascended the throne, he posthumously named his late eldest son the Prince of Yiyong.
The word "righteous and brave" is most suitable to describe Emperor Zhou Wu's eldest brother.
"Well, the eldest brother also likes sweets, but he thinks it's not manly to eat sweets, so he eats them secretly every time." Recalling the interesting things in the past, Emperor Zhou Wu unconsciously showed a nostalgic look on his face, "I didn't like snacks when I was a child. , but in order to get some snacks, my eldest brother deliberately told my father and mother that I wanted to eat."
"Are you using me as a shield?"
"Well, he went out to buy snacks. He obviously bought them for himself, but he told the store that he bought them for his little brother at home, which made everyone think that I love snacks."
"I didn't expect that Prince Yiyong still has this side."
"He thinks the snacks are delicious, and he forces me to eat them." Emperor Zhou Wu said with a smile, "My eldest brother likes to share his favorite things with me. When he finds delicious things outside, he will bring them back for me to eat." When the eldest brother passed away, there was a roast chicken in his arms, saying that he would bring it back to him to eat.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yiyong really loves you."
"I am the youngest brother. My brothers and sisters all love me. It's a pity that they are gone now." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "The dimple on the left corner of Xiao Shi's mouth is the same as that of the eldest brother." When he was a child, he liked to poke the right corner of his eldest brother's mouth the most, thinking I want to make another dimple for my eldest brother.
"Nephews are generally like uncles, just like nephews are like uncles."
"My eldest brother was not as clever as Xiao Shigui when he was a kid."
Sun Kui said in surprise: "Don't you always say that His Highness is stupid?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled meaningfully: "He is not stupid."
Emperor Wu of Zhou: How could my son be stupid?
Sun Kui: Who keeps saying that His Highness is not as stupid as you?
