Zhao Yao was too embarrassed to sleep in at Li's house, so he got up at midnight. At this time, the fourth prince, Taichang Cheng, and Shaofu Cheng had already entered the palace.
After breakfast at Li's house, Zhao Yao said goodbye to Mrs. Li and Li Houci. As for Li Pushe and his uncles, they went to Taixue at dawn.
Before leaving, Li Houci gave Zhao Yao many books, which were ordered by the fourth prince. She also gave Zhao Yao many snacks from Gusu, which Uncle Qing specially made for Zhao Yao.
Li Houci also specially made a purse and a handkerchief for Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, you will come to play often in the future."
Zhao Yao unceremoniously accepted the purse and handkerchief Li Houci made for him, and said with a smile: "Sister Houci, don't worry, I will definitely let my fourth brother bring me to play often."
When Li Houci heard what Zhao Yao said, she blushed slightly and said with some embarrassment, "I... you can come alone." She didn't ask His Highness the Tenth Prince to invite him to play often.
Zhao Yao tilted his head and said innocently, "It won't be fun if I don't play with my fourth brother."
When Li Houci saw that he had misunderstood, the blush on his face deepened.
"Then you and His Highness come to play together."
A smirk flashed across Zhao Yao's eyes, but Li Houci didn't notice it.
"Sister Houci, don't worry, I will definitely let my fourth brother take me to play often."
Li Houci smiled softly: "I will ask Uncle Qing to cook a lot of delicious food for you when the time comes."
Zhao Yao said with bright eyes: "That's great." As he said that, he suddenly approached Li Houci, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Sister Houci, actually the fourth brother's favorite color is dark cyan, not Navy blue."
Li Houci opened his eyes slightly when he heard this.
"Also, fourth brother doesn't like sweet soup." The fourth prince didn't drink any of the sweet soup that Li Houci sent last night, and all of it went into Zhao Yao's stomach. "Fourth brother doesn't like sweet snacks. He prefers salty snacks to sweet snacks."
Li Houci seemed to have heard some fantasy, with a look of astonishment on his gentle and beautiful face.
"Actually, the fourth brother is not picky about what he eats. For him, as long as it can fill his stomach, it's fine." In this regard, the fourth brother is very similar to the eighth brother. "Fourth brother is very strict with himself in terms of food. He can only eat two bowls per meal. One bowl more is unacceptable."
Li Houci felt that the Fourth Highness Zhao Yao mentioned was not the same person as the Fourth Highness she knew.
"By the way, the fourth brother doesn't like spices and incense." Zhao Yao said, "The fourth brother doesn't have any incense in his room in Xingdeok Palace."
"What?" Li Houci said in surprise, "But..."
"Sister Houci, the fourth brother doesn't like to eat or drink soup after dinner." Zhao Yao kindly reminded Li Houci, "Sister Houci, you should stop bringing food to the fourth brother at night from now on."
"How could it be possible..." Li Houci looked in disbelief, "But, empress..."
"Empress Li Bin was worried that the fourth brother would be hungry at night, so she asked you to send some food to the fourth brother, but the fourth brother didn't eat at night." Zhao Yao added, "The fourth brother doesn't like plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums that much either. , Sister Houci, don’t embroider plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums every time you make something for your fourth brother.”
Li Houci's face was stunned: "Then what does the Fourth Highness like?"
Zhao Yao winked at Li Houci and said, "Fourth brother said he likes Qingsong."
Li Houci wrote these words down. She said to Zhao Yao with gratitude on her face: "Your Highness, thank you for the reminder."
"By the way, Sister Houci, Fourth Brother prefers practical articles to poems and songs." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he thought about it again, "Also, Sister Houci, you should do less for Fourth Brother in the future. elder brother."
Li Houci asked in confusion: "Why is this? Does His Highness the Fourth Prince not like what I make?"
"It's not that the fourth brother doesn't like it. The fourth brother just hopes you don't waste your time on this." Zhao Yao said, "The fourth brother said that there are people in the palace who specialize in making clothes and shoes, and you don't need to make them specially for him. He thinks you Instead of spending time making things for him, it’s better to spend your time reading books or other useful things.”
Li Houci was stunned again.
Seeing Li Houci's shocked look, Zhao Yao didn't know whether he should continue talking.
Tong Xi reminded Zhao Yao in a low voice: "Your Highness, please stop talking." If His Highness continues to speak, Miss Li will cry sadly.
"Sister Houci, I'm leaving. See you next time." If it weren't for the fact that Sister Houci was so kind to him, he wouldn't have reminded her too much.
Li Houci came back to his senses and said with a forced smile: "Your Highness, please go slowly. Welcome to come again next time."
Zhao Yao waved to Li Houci and immediately left the Li Mansion with Tongxi.
Li Houci returned to his courtyard in despair, "Bu Yue, am I disliked by His Highness?"
"Miss, what His Highness the Tenth Prince said may not be right, so don't take it to heart." Bu Yue comforted Li Houci, "Besides, His Highness the Tenth Prince is just a child, what does he know?"
"You are wrong. The relationship between His Highness the Tenth and His Highness is extraordinary." Li Houci's face was very ugly. "The Tenth Highness often follows His Highness, and he knows His preference for His Highness better than anyone else."
Bu Yue said nonchalantly: "I think His Highness the Tenth Prince doesn't understand anything."
"His Royal Highness Tenth will not lie to me." Li Houci believed Zhao Yao's words. She suddenly smiled bitterly, "It seems that I don't know His Highness very well yet." What His Highness the Tenth Highness just said was exactly the opposite of what she knew. It turns out that she has been doing things that His Highness doesn't like. No wonder His Highness is always lukewarm towards her.
"Miss, you grew up with His Highness since childhood. You don't understand His Highness, but who does? Your Tenth Highness is just a child. What does he know?"
"You don't understand." It seems that she has done wrong before.
On the other side, Tong Xi said to Zhao Yao helplessly: "Your Highness, what you just said made Miss Li cry. Why are you telling her this? She may not believe what you say."
"Sister Houci specially made me a purse and handkerchief. I have to thank her very much." Zhao Yao snorted softly, "I don't have anything to give to Sister Houci in return. I can only tell her some four things." Regarding brother’s matters, remind her not to do anything that fourth brother doesn’t like in the future.”
"Miss Li will definitely not appreciate it." Tong Xi felt that Zhao Yao shouldn't talk too much, "Also, if you tell Miss Li about His Royal Highness's true preferences, what if His Highness finds out and blames you for talking too much?"
"Fourth brother won't blame me." Zhao Yao suddenly said with a smile, "Fourth brother can't tell Sister Houci himself. I'm going to say it for fourth brother now. It's too late for fourth brother to thank me." Fourth brother didn't like it. Those things that Sister Houci did for him.
"It would be great if His Highness doesn't blame you. How can I still thank you?" Tongxi said with a worried look on his face, "Your Highness, His Highness doesn't seem to like Miss Li."
"Whether Fourth Brother likes Sister Houci or not, maybe Sister Houci will be my fourth sister-in-law in the future." More than others, he hoped that Sister Houci would be his fourth sister-in-law in the future.
"That's right." Tongxi didn't say anything more about the matter and talked about the Li family's affairs, "Your Highness, the Li family is really powerful." Last night, Tongxi also stayed at the Li Mansion and asked a lot of things from the Li family's servants. "Your Highness, the Li family values you as a guest, and Pushe and the others came here specially to welcome you."
"It's the fourth brother." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Because the fourth brother values me as a younger brother, that's why the Li family is so polite to me, the unpopular and somewhat stupid His Highness." The fourth brother really took care of him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Fourth is so kind to you." The Eighth Highness is also very kind to Your Highness.
Zhao Yao raised his chin and said with a proud face: "Who told me to be so cute and lovable?"
Tongxi asked sharply: "Then why don't you please the emperor?"
Zhao Yao said arrogantly and with some disgust: "I don't care about the stinky father's liking." That stinking father's liking is not a good thing.
When he walked out of Li's Mansion, he saw Liang Run already waiting at the door.
Liang Run came to pick up Zhao Yao. Seeing that Tong Xi was carrying a lot of things, he said in a dumbfounded voice: "Yao Yao, are you taking back the snacks you gave me yesterday?"
"No, this is a Gusu snack specially made for me by the Li family's cook. It's delicious."
"You came to deliver snacks last night. Didn't the Li family feel dissatisfied?"
"No, my fourth brother's grandfather and grandmother said it was very delicious, and they said I was interested in it."
Liang Run didn't believe it, and looked at it with joy.
Tongxi nodded to Liang Run and said, "The Li family likes His Highness very much."
Hearing what Tong Xi said, Liang Run felt relieved.
"Are you coming to Li's house again tonight?"
"I'm not coming. Fourth brother has returned to the palace."
"Are you going back to the palace tonight?"
"If you don't come back, I have to play for a few more days." Zhao Yao got on the carriage and asked, "Second uncle, are you ready for the things I asked you to prepare?"
Liang Run said: "Last night, I made the lard."
He added, "I've also prepared the gray water from plants and trees."
"Did you get the flower juice?" Zhao Yao asked.
"We crushed a lot of flower petals last night and made a lot of flower juice." Liang Run said, "I'll give it a try when I get back later."
"Lard soap is a good thing to make. Second uncle, you have to make it properly."
"Yao Yao, won't you go back with me?" Liang Run looked surprised, "Won't you go back with me to make lard soap?"
"No, I'm going to find that uncle and continue to learn the art of war from him." Zhao Yao said he would play outside the palace for a few more days, but in fact he did not dare to play outside the palace. He bet that if he stayed outside the palace for three days and didn't go back, his stinking father would definitely send someone to take him back. "He told me yesterday that he would arrange for someone to help me. I have to ask."
"Then Uncle Zhang and I will make lard soap at home."
"Second uncle, I will come find you in the evening. Then call Dingyuan and the others, and we will go to the bathhouse to take a bath together." Taking a bath in the bathhouse is fun. You can meet many interesting people and hear many interesting and useful things. .
"Yao Yao, you are the prince." Liang Run reminded Zhao Yao helplessly, "As a prince, how can you go to the bathhouse to take a bath?"
"Second uncle, as a prince, why can't I go to the bathhouse to take a bath?" Zhao Yao glanced sideways at Liang Run and said, "Second uncle, I don't pretend to be a prince myself, so why do you pretend to be a prince for me? Besides, , I don’t think that the prince like me is nobler than others.”
"Yao Yao, as a prince, your status is naturally more noble than others." Liang Run sometimes found that his nephew never regarded himself as a prince, nor did he feel that his status as a prince was so noble. "Yao Yao, you have to be somewhat conscious."
"What's there to be self-conscious about?" Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "I think this is good."
Liang Run said helplessly and dotingly: "You..."
"Second uncle, I'm outside the palace now, so I don't need to mention my identity." Zhao Yao thought of his four younger brothers, "By the way, second uncle, please make some good food tonight, and then invite my fourth brother and younger brother to eat together. After dinner, we’ll take a shower together.”
"Okay, I'll show off my skills tonight."
Liang Run sent Zhao Yao to the house at the junction of East City and West City, "This house, no matter how many times I come here, always feels eerie and makes people's hair stand on end. You are not afraid at all."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Zhao Yao said, "Uncle is a good man." After saying that, he knocked on the door.
After a while, the housekeeper opened the door to the house. He did not speak, but nodded to Zhao Yao, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Zhao Yao turned around and said to Liang Run: "Second uncle, come here at the end of the day."
"Okay." After Zhao Yao entered the house, Liang Run turned around and left.
"Uncle, I'm here, and I brought you delicious Gusu snacks." Zhao Yaoren's voice arrived first before he walked into the backyard.
Hearing Zhao Yao's energetic voice, a little smile appeared in He Lianfang's eyes.
"Uncle, one day is like three autumns after not seeing each other. Do you miss me?" Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I didn't see you last night, but I miss you very much."
"Glib tongue." He Lianfang's tone contained a conniving tone that he was unaware of.
"Uncle, this is what I call sweet talk."
He Lianfang sighed in her heart: This ungrateful look looks a lot like Zhao Zheng.
After Zhao Yao strongly recommended it, He Lianfang ate the Gusu dim sum he brought, and it tasted really good.
After eating snacks, He Lianfang began to play against Zhao Yao on the sand table.
Zhao Yao likes to simulate war situations on the sand table. He finds it very fun and he can learn a lot of tactics at the same time.
While He Lianfang taught Zhao Yao, he marveled at Zhao Yao's talent in his heart.
Zhao Yao's talent in leading troops in battle surpassed that of the Yiyong Prince and Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Regardless of Zhao Yao's identity, He Lianfang felt that he had received a very good apprentice.
In the palace, the eighth prince finished school and did not rush back to Xingdeok Palace. Instead, he went to Lanyuan Pavilion to find the fourth prince.
When the fourth prince learned that the eighth prince was looking for him, he felt that something was wrong.
The eighth prince and the fourth prince disliked each other and rarely spoke to each other. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yao was only afraid of the two of them...
"You took your tenth brother to the Li family?" When the eighth prince saw the fourth prince, he looked at him with cold and sharp eyes and asked him in a bad tone.
The fourth prince said with a cold face: "What does it have to do with you?"
"You told me to stay away from my tenth brother, what about you?" The eighth prince said in a cold tone, "You are the one who will bring danger to my tenth brother!"
The fourth prince looked at the eighth prince coldly: "I am not you."
"If you bring danger to my tenth brother, I will never spare you!" the eighth prince threatened.
The fourth prince said sullenly, "I won't spare you either!" If the eighth prince brought danger to Zhao Yao, the fourth prince would not spare him either.
The eighth prince glanced at the fourth prince sinisterly, and then turned sharply.
The fourth prince looked at the eighth prince's leaving figure, narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince went too far. He came here to scold you!" Wei Mian also didn't like the Eighth Prince. He always felt that the Eighth Prince was like a snake, cold and dangerous.
The fourth prince said expressionlessly: "Don't worry about him!"
"Your Highness, we can no longer allow His Highness the Tenth Prince to interact with the Fourth Prince." Yu Hai said, "Otherwise, the Fourth Prince will harm His Highness sooner or later."
The eighth prince said with a calm and handsome face: "Do you think I don't want the tenth brother to stay away from him?" As he said, he frowned deeply, "I don't know what kind of drug he poured into the tenth brother to make the tenth brother stay away from him." I like him so much."
"The fourth prince is cold and cold. I really don't know what His Highness the Tenth Prince likes about him." Yu Hai disliked the cold and aloof fourth prince very much.
"If it wasn't for the sake of my tenth brother, I would have..." Among all the princes, the one that the eighth prince hates the most is not the acting king or the third prince, but the fourth prince.
The Eighth Prince knew in his heart that neither the Crown Prince, nor the Acting King, nor the Third Prince were his opponents. His real opponent is the fourth prince. Even if they haven't done anything yet.
Thanks to Konglong Laotie for the reward, I have nothing to repay, I can only work hard to update to repay.
There will be another update in the evening.
Fourth Prince: I’m so annoying.
Eighth Prince: The fourth child is so disgusting.
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! Please leave a message! Please give me a reward!
