"Boss, are you really the tenth prince?" Shen Sen and the others still couldn't believe it.
"Don't I look like that?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Like." Chu Huan was not too surprised by Zhao Yao's identity. When he first met Zhao Yao, he knew that Zhao Yao's identity was not simple, and he did not believe that he was the son of an ordinary wealthy businessman.
"Boss, you are the tenth prince, then you..."
"My mother-in-law said that when I make friends with you, I can't hide my identity from you. It would be insincere. So I went out of the palace this time to tell you my identity." Zhao Yao saw that Shen Sen and the others were still in a hurry. He looked shocked and worried, "You won't be willing to be friends with me just because I am the tenth prince, right?"
"This..." Zhang He and the others had never thought of being friends with the prince. Suddenly they knew that the boss they had just recognized was the prince, and they were a little confused.
Zhao Yao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did your father tell you not to associate with the prince?"
Chu Huan was the first to come to his senses among the four of them, "Our father didn't tell us this, but he told our brothers."
Shen Sen nodded in agreement: "Our father never told us that."
"Then are you afraid that your father will object to you being friends with me?" Zhao Yao said seriously, "I really want to be friends with you, otherwise I wouldn't tell you my true identity."
He quickly added, "I'm not friends with you because you are General Song's sons." This was a bit false, but even if they were not General Song's sons, he would still be friends with them.
Chu Huan said: "Boss, no matter you are a prince or not, you are still my boss."
Seeing Chu Huan's statement, Shen Sen and the other three hurriedly said: "Xiao Bai is right. Since we recognize you as the boss, you will always be our boss."
"Aren't you afraid that your father will object to our association?"
"Boss, if we don't tell our father, they won't know." Song Jicai said, "Besides, it's our business to make friends, why should we tell their adults."
"It's just that they adults didn't tell us when they made friends."
"Our father didn't say that we can't be friends with the prince."
"Boss, don't worry, you will always be our boss."
Hearing what Chu Huan and the others said, Zhao Yao was very moved: "You will always be my good friends and good brothers!"
Perhaps because they were still young, Chu Huan and the others did not respect and fear Zhao Yao because he suddenly became a prince, and they still got along with Zhao Yao as before.
"Then shall we call you boss or your highness from now on?"
"Of course I am the boss. I am your boss, not your Highness." Zhao Yao said, "I will no longer be the tenth prince after I leave the palace."
"Boss, to be honest, you don't look like a prince at all." Zhang He said with a smile.
"What's different?"
"We have met His Royal Highness."
"If you define a prince according to the standards of second brother, then I really don't look like him."
"Boss..."
Next, Zhang He and Shen Sen curiously asked Zhao Yao many questions.
They were very curious about the prince, and it was their first time to face a living prince up close. Of course, they had many questions to ask.
Zhao Yao did not expect that they would be so curious about the prince and answered their questions patiently.
Because of these problems, the relationship between them has become much closer.
"Boss, have you found out who the owner of that house is?" Chu Huan was also curious about the owner of that house.
"I went back to the palace and asked Mr. Qin to help me check. Many people are in the same situation as that uncle, but they are not that uncle." Zhao Yao added, "Mr. Qin was your father's former subordinate, and he is now in the palace. He taught us how to ride horses and archery."
"Uncle Qin Su?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Boss, your archery skills were taught by Uncle Qin." Chu Huan said with a smile, "Uncle Qin also often teaches me archery."
"Then we are still brothers."
"However, I have never heard Uncle Qin mention you." Chu Huan thought that the boss's archery skills were so good. With Uncle Qin's temperament, he would definitely show off that he had taught a disciple as powerful as the boss, but he had never heard Uncle Qin say Mentioned the boss.
"Because my performance in the palace was just average."
Shen Sen and the others didn't listen, they all looked at Zhao Yao with doubts on their faces.
Zhao Yao scratched his head and said, "In order to not attract attention in the palace, I didn't really show off my archery skills."
Chu Huan understood it, but he was puzzled again.
"Boss, why are you hiding your strength?"
"Because I don't want to attract attention." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, seeing Chu Huan and the others still looking puzzled, he thought for a while and said to them, "I am the youngest son of my father, but I am not very favored. In addition, my maternal grandfather's family has no power, so I have to hide my strength in the palace..."
Zhao Yao carefully told Chu Huan and others about his situation. After hearing this, Chu Huan and the others looked shocked.
Although they are not very old and only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, as the sons of generals, they know some things more or less.
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult for the prince."
"Boss, you are so pitiful."
"Boss, have you been bullied by anyone in the palace?"
"Boss, don't worry, we will help you hide it."
Chu Huan and the four of them are the youngest sons in the family. Although they are often rejected by their father for being disobedient, their parents still love them very much. Furthermore, their brothers are all their biological brothers.
General Song and the other four of them did not have concubines, and only had their first wives in the family, so Song Jicai and the others did not have any concubines. Also, their elder brother dotes on them.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhao Yao invited Chu Huan and the four of them to eat hot pot at Zhenxiu Restaurant.
During the meal, there was no more talk about status. Chu Huan and the four of them talked to Zhao Yao about what happened in the capital these days. For example, more and more barbarians came to the capital, including many barbarian girls. They danced beautifully and attracted many people to watch.
"Have you gone to see it?"
"No, how dare we go."
"If our father knew that we went to a brothel to watch Hu Nu dance, our father would beat us to death."
"I heard that Hu Nu's dance is different from ours."
"I heard they are also very good-looking."
Zhao Yao touched his chin and said, "I want to see it too."
Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Zhang He and the others quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and asked excitedly.
"Boss, do you want to watch Hu Nu dance?"
"Boss, if you go, we will go with you."
Zhao Yao glanced sideways at Zhang He and the others: "Didn't you just say you were afraid of being beaten by your father?"
"We go secretly, our father won't know."
"Boss, with you here, what do we have to fear?"
"Boss, let's go after dinner."
"Not today. After dinner, I'm going to that house." Zhao Yao said, "I will show you the next time I leave the palace."
"Boss, keep your word." When their father finds out later, they will say that it was the boss who took them there, and their father will not punish them.
"True to my word, I will definitely take you with me next time I leave the palace."
"Boss, what did you do in that house again?"
"Learn the art of war from that uncle."
"Learning the art of war?"
Hearing the word "art of war", Chu Huan's eyes instantly brightened.
"Boss, can we go with you?"
"Boss, we also want to learn the art of war."
They have always wanted to learn the art of war, but their father and brother were unwilling to teach them and said they could not learn it.
"That uncle won't let you in." The uncle didn't let Chu Huan and the four of them in last time. "It was because I looked like his friend that he was willing to let me in and teach me the art of war."
"Boss, if you put in a good word for us, maybe he will let us in."
"I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, wait until I learn it before I teach you."
"good."
After lunch, Zhao Yao did not rush to the house, but went to the pastry shop to buy some pastries.
The last time I came to this house, I thought it was very spooky. However, this time I came, it didn’t feel so gloomy. However, there is still something weird everywhere.
Zhao Yao raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and it was the ordinary man I saw last time.
The ordinary man opened the door, stepped aside, and made an invitation gesture to Zhao Yao.
"Can I bring my friend in?" Zhao Yao asked politely.
The ordinary man glanced at Chu Huan and the others, shook his head immediately, and then pointed at Zhao Yao, meaning that he could only enter alone.
Zhao Yao turned back to look at Shen Sen and the others: "You guys wait at the door first. I'll go in and ask my uncle."
"Boss, we are waiting for you."
Zhao Yao followed the ordinary man into the house. The middle-aged man was still sitting in the backyard like last time.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you."
The middle-aged man was not surprised at Zhao Yao's arrival, as if he knew he was coming today.
Middle-aged man: Aren’t you going to let your youngest son come to see me?
Emperor Wu of Zhou: I didn’t know he went to see you.
Middle-aged man: Haha!
Emperor Wu of Zhou: You can drive him out.
