The next day, after the court, King Dai had just returned to his mansion when he heard Fuzhong say: "Your Highness, Mrs. Kong took Miss Kong to Bodhi Temple to pray for the late Queen."
When Dai Wang heard that he was praying for the late queen, his face immediately darkened and his tone was a little cold: "They are really thoughtful."
Seeing that King Dai was displeased, Fuzhong asked cautiously: "Your Highness, are you still going to send someone to keep an eye on them?" After all, it was a nunnery, so it was inconvenient to send someone to keep an eye on them.
"Watch them to pray for the late queen?" Dai Wang snorted coldly, "You don't have to watch them."
The king expected that Mrs. Kong and her daughter would not do anything in the nunnery, and they did not dare to do anything.
"Yes, Your Highness." Fuzhong reported again, "The beauties sent by the Queen have all been dealt with."
Dai Wang asked: "Did you ask anything?"
"Two of them admitted that they were the spies arranged by the Empress to go to the palace to report to the Empress on the affairs of the palace." Fuzhong said, "These two have not been dealt with for the time being. Do you think we should?"
"Since the Queen wants to know what is going on in this palace, let her know." Dai Wang narrowed his eyes and said with a sinister look on his face.
Fuzhong understood what Dai Wang meant: "I will go and give an account right now."
"By the way, how is the prince's side?" There is someone who acts as the king in Hulong Temple. The prince went to Hulong Temple to pray for blessings, and the king could not just sit idly by.
"As soon as the prince arrived at Hulong Temple, he worshiped the Buddha and did not do anything else for the time being." Fuzhong hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to take advantage of this moment?" He reached out and touched his neck.
Dai Wang raised his foot and kicked Fuzhong: "You think that I have a long life, don't you? If you get rid of the prince at this time, everyone in the world will know that I did it. Do you think my father will let me go?"
Fuzhong smiled apologetically and said, "This servant didn't think well."
"Nothing can happen to the prince while he is praying at Hulong Temple. If something happens, everyone will think it was me." King Dai said with a stern expression, "Keep an eye on me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
King Dai went to the backyard and met Princess Dai.
He and Princess Dai grew up together and were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was naturally good. This time, King Dai was slandered by the Duke of Zhen and others for being unable to have children. King Dai did not blame Princess Dai, but Princess Dai blamed herself.
The imperial doctor sent by the queen carefully checked the pulses of Prince Dai and his wife, and there was nothing wrong with them. The reason why there are no children is because the fate has not arrived yet.
As for the Avalokitesvara sent by the Queen, Concubine Rong was worried about it, so she kept it in a corner of the warehouse in her palace, and then asked someone to solemnly go to Bodhi Temple to buy a Avalokitesvara. It is currently enshrined in the Buddhist hall of Dai Wangfu.
The princess would go to worship Guanyin every day, hoping to get pregnant soon.
King Dai and Princess Dai talked for a while, then went to the study in the front yard to get busy. He had sent people to inquire about the situation in Yangzhou before, but they did not get the information he wanted.
The rebellion in Yangzhou is normal. The reason why it has not been put down is because Xie Shi is a idiot. King Dai originally planned to go to Yangzhou to quell the chaos, but since the news that he was unable to do so came out, he was unable to go to Yangzhou again.
Rather than going to Yangzhou to quell the chaos, it was more important to have heirs as soon as possible. During this period, Dai Wang worked hard and cultivated every night. He believed that there would be good news soon.
When there was good news in the palace, King Dai decided to apply to Emperor Wu of Zhou to go to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion.
At this time, in the imperial study, Emperor Wu of Zhou also received a secret message from Yangzhou. Things turned out exactly as they thought.
Emperor Wu of Zhou tapped the imperial table with his index finger, looking thoughtful.
Seeing what Emperor Zhou Wu was thinking, Sun Kui quickly took a breath and did not dare to disturb Emperor Zhou Wu.
After a while, Emperor Wu of Zhou ordered Sun Kui: "Go and call Lao Song."
"Is it just General Song?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Call Lao Zhang here too."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Not long after, Song Dekang and the others came to the imperial study room.
"It's time to close the net on matters in Yangzhou." Emperor Wu of Zhou directly ordered, "Old Song, you go to Yangzhou tonight."
Song Dekang said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Old Song, you have to touch it quietly, do you understand?"
"I understand."
"While Lao Song is away from the capital, Lao Zhang, you are here to cover him." Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty sent Song Dekang to Yangzhou so that others could not know about it. "Do you need me to teach you what Lao Song will do later?"
Song Dekang smiled and said, "You don't need to teach me this little thing."
Emperor Wu of Zhou told Song Dekang something more before letting them retreat.
Before noon, news was received that Song Dekang was injured. Emperor Wu of Zhou hurriedly sent an imperial doctor to the Song Dynasty. The imperial doctor said that Song Dekang had injured his bones and needed to rest for three months.
Sun Kui reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."
After leaving the court, Emperor Wu of Zhou had been busy reviewing memorials, during which he drank two cups of tea and took a rest.
"Have someone bring lunch over directly." Emperor Wu of Zhou was too lazy to go to the dining room, so he simply ate in the imperial study. "By the way, tell Liang Zhaoyi that I will have dinner at Kunde Hall tonight."
Sun Kui originally thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou had forgotten to go to Kunde Hall today, but he did not expect that Emperor Wu of Zhou remembered it.
Seeing that Sun Kui didn't respond, Emperor Zhou Wu raised his eyes and glanced at him, only to see surprise on his face.
"What, is there a problem?"
Sun Kui said hurriedly: "No, I will inform Liang Zhaoyi now." He thought that the emperor would not go to the harem during the death anniversary of the first empress.
When Sun Doudou saw Sun Kui coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Go and inform Liang Zhaoyi that the emperor is coming over for dinner tonight."
Sun Doudou said in surprise: "I thought the emperor wouldn't go to the Kunde Hall today." Just after he finished speaking, he remembered something, "Oh, how could I forget? The emperor will still go to the Kunde Hall at this time every year, but not anymore." Stay overnight.”
Hearing what Sun Doudou said, Sun Kui also remembered it.
"Go and tell Liang Zhaoyi that the emperor's appetite has not been very good these past two days."
"Okay, I'll go now."
On the way to Kunde Hall, he met Zhao Yao, and Sun Doudou hurriedly saluted.
"Little Eunuch Sun, are you going to Kunde Hall?"
Sun Doudou said respectfully: "Your Majesty asked your servant to inform Empress Zhaoyi that she will go to Kunde Hall for dinner tonight."
"Father has indeed not forgotten!" He thought that his father had forgotten, but to his surprise, his mother and concubine actually told him right.
"The emperor has not forgotten it." Sun Doudou thought to himself that the emperor remembered the days when he went to Kunde Hall every month more clearly than anyone else. His master was right, Liang Zhaoyi was quite capable. "Your Highness, the Emperor has been so busy these days that he has no appetite."
When Zhao Yao heard "no appetite", he felt happy.
Father doesn't have a good appetite, so he won't compete with him for delicious food.
"Father, it's really hard work." Zhao Yao said hypocritically. But, having said that, being an emperor is really hard. There are endless memorials to approve and endless things to do every day. The most important thing is that there are ministers and sons who are not honest in their duties, and more importantly, they cannot leave the palace to play at will. What does the emperor mean by doing this?
Being an emperor is so tiring, and his royal brothers are still competing to do it. I really don't understand.
"Your Highness, it's hard for you to study." Sun Doudou knew that Zhao Yao didn't like studying.
Zhao Yao seemed to have found a confidant and said with some excitement: "I have a hard time studying, but no one thinks so. Do you dislike reading as much as I do?"
"My slave doesn't like reading either, but Master always tells me to read more." Sun Doudou is also a person who doesn't like reading. "My slave becomes dizzy when I read."
"Me too, little Eunuch Sun, we are of the same mind."
This was the first time that Sun Doudou heard someone say that he was a "fellow-minded person", and he was also the Tenth Highness.
Next, Zhao Yao and Sun Doudou kept complaining about reading.
Tong Xi who was walking behind them found it very funny to see them talking about all the bad things about studying with the same enemy.
"You are better than me." Zhao Yao said with some envy of Sun Doudou, "Eunuch Sun asked you to study more, but he didn't force you to study. I can't do it. I have to study every day. If I don't read, I won't be able to do it. If I don't, I will." I was punished by my father to copy books."
"Your Highness, you are a prince, so you must study hard."
"Alas..." Zhao Yao sighed angrily.
Sun Doudou was so amused by Zhao Yao's tragic look that he almost couldn't help laughing. He hurriedly comforted him: "Your Highness, when you grow up, you will no longer have to go to Wende Hall to study."
"I still have ten years before I grow up." Zhao Yao raised his hands, "Ten years, I still have ten years to go."
"Your Highness, you'll get over it after a while." He only discovered that His Highness Tenth was so fun today.
Zhao Yao curled his lips and said, "My surname is Zhao, not Ao."
Sun Doudou and Tong Le couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Lai Fu and Lai Cai ran out to greet Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao hugged them, kissed and touched them.
"Concubine, little Eunuch Sun is here." Zhao Yao suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, startling Sun Doudou.
After hearing this, Liang Zhaoyi hurriedly walked out.
Sun Doudou saluted quickly: "I have met Empress Zhaoyi."
"Little Eunuch Sun, please wake up. I don't know what the emperor's orders are."
"The Emperor is coming to have dinner in the evening." Sun Doudou said again, "Empress Zhaoyi, the Emperor is too busy today and has no appetite. Please try your luck to have something to eat tonight."
"I see."
"Slave, please leave."
Guixing hurriedly stepped forward and escorted Sun Doudou out of Kunde Hall, and then gave Sun Doudou a money bag.
After Tongxi waited for Eunuch Sun to leave, he asked Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, why didn't you just ask your servant to take the message to Eunuch Sun, so as to save him a trip?"
"If I really ask you to help me with this, I will cut off my little Eunuch Sun's financial path. He will hate me."
The people who served Emperor Wu of Zhou went to the harem to spread the news, and the masters of the harem would reward him with some money.
Zhao Yao said: "Destroying one's wealth is like killing one's parents." The eunuchs and maids in the palace did not have much monthly money, so they usually relied on rewards from their masters. Furthermore, everyone in the palace loves money, because it is easier to do things with money. "So, I can't help you with this, do you understand?"
Tongxi was taught and said: "I understand, slave."
"Concubine, what should we have for lunch? I'm hungry."
The Fifth Princess said on behalf of Liang Zhaoyi: "We will eat sunflower seeds and hyacinth for lunch."
The smile on Zhao Yao's face suddenly froze. He forgot that on the anniversary of the death of the late Queen, only vegetables could be eaten.
Sun Doudou had returned to the imperial study, and he told Sun Kui about the conversation he had just had with Zhao Yao.
After hearing this, Sun Kui couldn't help laughing.
Sun Doudou smiled and said, "Master, I didn't expect His Highness to be so funny."
Sun Kui smiled meaningfully: "Only His Highness the Tenth Prince is a child in this palace." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the imperial study room, repeating what Sun Doudou told him to Emperor Zhou Wu.
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou laughed and scolded: "This stinky boy!"
Zhao Yao: Finally someone understands my pain in studying!
