In the White Crane Temple, the emperor had already met Qin Xiulian and comforted her nicely. After that, he asked the imperial doctor who came with him to take Qin Xiulian's pulse.
The imperial doctor said that Qin Xiulian was not seriously ill, she was just too frightened, and she could just drink a few doses of calming soup.
The emperor was also worried that Qin Xiulian would not be able to sleep well at night due to nightmares due to excessive fright, so he specially asked the Taoist priest of Baihe Temple to give Qin Xiulian a calming charm so that Qin Xiulian could sleep well at night.
He also ordered a thorough investigation of the assassination, so that Sun Kui must find out the real mastermind behind the assassination, no matter who it was.
It was noon when the emperor arrived at Baihe Temple. After comforting Qin Xiulian, they had lunch in Baihe Temple.
Zhao Yao originally thought he would have lunch with the emperor and Qin Xiulian, but unexpectedly Qin Xiulian was not there.
Seeing Zhao Yao looking around, the emperor raised his hand and tapped his little head: "What are you looking at?"
"Where's the British concubine?" Zhao Yao asked very bluntly, "won't she have dinner with us?"
"Why does she want to dine with us?" The emperor rolled his eyes at Zhao Yao, "She is not your mother-in-law."
It seems to make sense, but something seems wrong.
"The vegetarian food at Baiheguan is good."
After hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Yao's attention immediately turned to the meal.
The father and son sat cross-legged on the ground, facing each other, with a low table in front of them.
Before the emperor ate, a special eunuch tasted the food. After confirming that it was not poisonous, the emperor ate with his youngest son.
The emperor first served Zhao Yao some food. When Zhao Yao saw this, he suddenly became wary.
"Eat, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Father, you didn't poison the food." Zhao Yao looked at the food in the bowl and said warily, "I won't get diarrhea after eating it." He had been tricked by the emperor in this way before.
When the emperor heard what Zhao Yao said, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said grimly: "You will die if you eat it. What, do you dare to eat it?"
Zhao Yao was shocked and said: "Smelly father, the tiger's poison will not eat its children."
The emperor angrily picked up a chopstick of food and stuffed it into Zhao Yao's small mouth, "You brat, eat it."
Seeing this scene, Sun Kui was really worried that the emperor's chopsticks would pierce Zhao Yao's throat.
The emperor had a sense of control and would not hurt Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao took a few bites and found that Baiheguan's vegetarian food tasted really good, and his clear eyes suddenly became bright.
"Does the taste match His Highness's taste?"
Zhao Yao nodded repeatedly and said: "It's delicious." After saying that, he picked up the vegetables and ate them.
Seeing his greedy look, the emperor asked angrily: "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"
"Smelly father, if you poison me again and cause diarrhea, I will file a complaint with my mother and concubine." Although it is useless to complain to my mother and concubine, I still have to file a complaint.
The emperor hummed softly: "Do you think I am afraid of your mother and concubine?"
Sun Kui on the side said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, aren't you afraid?
Zhao Yao glared fiercely, then angrily picked up the plate of food in front of the emperor and used chopsticks to push half of the food into his own bowl.
When the emperor saw Zhao Yao snatching his food, he glared at him angrily, and then also grabbed the food in front of him.
When Sun Kui saw the emperor and his son acting over food, he thought it was a good thing that the British concubine didn't join them in the meal, otherwise he would have been disappointed when he saw the emperor's appearance.
"Smelly father, you are the emperor, how can you steal your son's food?"
"I am your father, why can't I steal your food?"
"Smelly father, you are shameless."
"You brat, I am your father, you have to let me."
"You've already grabbed all my food, how can I let you go?" Zhao Yao shouted angrily, "How could you do this to me?"
"Everyone grabs the food according to their ability. Whoever grabs it will eat it. Whoever makes you lose your ability."
"Smelly father..."
Sun Kui, who was standing aside, saw the emperor and his son fighting over the food, and silently turned his head to the side and stopped looking. He was afraid that if he continued to look at it, he would...
Sun Kun sighed in his heart again: Fortunately, the British concubine is not here!
Zhao Yao was very tired from this lunch and felt that he was not full yet.
The emperor ate very happily and was very full.
After lunch, Zhao Yao was furious when he saw the emperor's proud face, so he rushed towards him.
The emperor stretched out his hand to scratch Zhao Yao's limb socket, which made Zhao Yao laugh.
Zhao Yao also reached out to scratch the emperor's itch, but the emperor was not ticklish, so he could only scratch the emperor's face and ears.
The emperor retaliated and pushed Zhao Yao's nose with his hand, mocking him as a pig. Zhao Yao was also asked to learn two pig sounds.
"Smelly father, if I were a pig, you would be an old pig." Zhao Yao yelled angrily, "You are still a shameless old pig."
The emperor picked up Zhao Yao and lay on his legs, then raised his hand and patted Zhao Yao's butt.
"You brat, how dare you scold me?"
"You scolded yourself." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he lowered his head and opened his mouth and took a bite of the emperor's thigh.
"Ouch, brat, are you a son of a bitch?"
The father and son hugged each other and started wrestling again.
Sun Kui saw Zhao Yao's feet kicking the emperor's face, and saw the emperor's big hands kneading Zhao Yao's delicate little face into various strange shapes.
Then, the father and son staged another scene where you bite me and I bite you.
Can not bear to look!
I really can’t bear to look at it!
Fortunately, he was the only one who saw it and no one else saw it! The emperor's great image has been maintained!
Zhao Yao played with the emperor for a while. When he was tired, he lay on the emperor's legs and panted.
The emperor's face was not red and he was out of breath. He raised his hand and patted his youngest son's back gently.
Zhao Yao lay on the emperor's legs and fell asleep soon.
The emperor changed his position and held Zhao Yaoheng in his arms. When he lowered his head and saw that his youngest son was really asleep, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Sleep when you say sleep. If it's not a pig, it's nothing."
Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, you have scolded yourself again.
Zhao Yao's little face turned red because of the fun he had just played, which made him look even cuter.
The emperor reached out and gently slapped Zhao Yao's little face. Zhao Yao turned over and buried his little face in the emperor's arms.
Sun Kui was afraid of waking up Zhao Yao, so he said in a very low voice: "Your Majesty, please take the tenth prince to rest."
"Wait a while." The emperor said, patting Zhao Yao's back gently, "Wait until he falls asleep, then hold him down."
"Yes." Sun Kui stepped aside again. He saw that the emperor held the child accurately and allowed His Highness to sleep comfortably. Also, the Emperor's eyes were full of love when he saw His Royal Highness.
The current emperor is completely a loving father, and there is no trace of his ungrateful appearance just now.
"Your Majesty, you obviously love His Highness the Tenth Highness so much, why do you bully and tease His Highness the Tenth Highness every time?" Sun Kui still couldn't hold back and asked the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"I told you, my son is just for bullying." The emperor said with a smile, "Look how fun it is to bully him."
Sun Kui: "...Your Majesty, if you act like this, His Highness will hate you more and more."
"I am such a good father, how could Xiao Shi hate me?"
Sun Kui: "..." Your Majesty, didn't you notice that His Highness the Tenth Prince called you "Smelly Father"?
The emperor looked down at his little son who was sleeping soundly in his arms, his eyes full of love. Then, he stood up and went to the next room, and gently put Zhao Yao on the bed. Then he carefully covered Zhao Yao with a quilt.
Zhao Yao opened his eyes drowsily and saw the emperor. He pouted and cursed: "Smelly father." After saying that, he turned over and rolled into the bed.
After hearing this, the emperor scolded him in a funny and loving way: "You bastard."
He walked out of the house and told Tongxi: "Take good care of Xiao Shi."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor turned around and went to another house.
An old man with white hair wearing Taoist robes was waiting for the emperor. When he saw the emperor coming, he stood up and saluted him.
"Old Taoist, see the Emperor."
The emperor stepped forward and personally helped the old man up.
"Master, you don't need to be polite."
The old man smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be discarded."
The emperor asked the old man to sit down, and he sat down opposite the old man.
Sun Kui hurriedly brought tea.
The emperor personally poured a cup of tea for the old man and immediately brought it to the old man with both hands.
"Master, please have some tea."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." The old man took the teacup, lowered his head and took a few sips of tea.
The emperor drank tea and looked at the old man opposite.
"After more than 20 years of separation, the master is still the same as before, without any changes." The emperor and the old man were old acquaintances, and the last time they met was more than 20 years ago.
"The Emperor is different." The old man smiled kindly. "The Emperor's eyes are much more determined than they were more than ten years ago." When the old man saw the Emperor more than twenty years ago, there was a trace of confusion in the Emperor's eyes.
"More than twenty years ago, I never thought about becoming the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now that I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, my eyes are naturally different."
"The old Taoist said that you were the True Dragon Emperor, but you scolded the old Taoist at that time."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned what happened back then: "My eldest brother was still alive at that time. Master, if you said that I was the True Dragon Emperor, I would definitely be angry."
"Master, you didn't tell me at that time that something would happen to my elder brother."
"The secret must not be leaked," the old man said.
"Then why did you reveal that I would be emperor?"
"Because at that time you didn't want to bear the burden of all sentient beings in the world." The old man said kindly, "I was worried about you before."
"Are you worried that I can't be the emperor well?"
The old man smiled and said nothing.
"Master, are you relieved now?" the emperor asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are a good king who loves his people like his own son." The old man's expression suddenly became very serious, "The people of Zhou Dynasty are lucky to have such a good emperor like you."
Hearing the old man praising him so much, the emperor was somewhat flattered and said, "I don't dare take it seriously. I just did what I should do, but it's not good enough." Dazhou had just begun, and he still had many things to do. "Master, do you still remember something you said to me back then?"
"Remember." The old man said with a smile, "The Great Zhou Dynasty will welcome an emperor who will bring peace and prosperity."
"If I'm correct, the emperor you say brought peace and prosperity is not me, but my son, right?"
The old man did not answer the emperor's question directly, but asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't you think that it was you who brought peace and prosperity to the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"If I live long, I might bring prosperity to the Zhou Dynasty, but I can't live too long." The emperor seemed cynical, but in fact he was like a mirror. "What I can bring to Great Zhou is peace, but the world is not completely peaceful now, but before I die, Great Zhou will be completely peaceful." The emperor still had this confidence.
"It is precisely because of this that your son will bring prosperity to the Great Zhou Dynasty." The old man looked at the emperor with admiration, "The Great Zhou Dynasty is now prosperous, and this is all your contribution, Your Majesty."
"Sure enough, he is my son." The emperor asked deliberately, "Which son of mine is it?"
The old man smiled and said: "Your Majesty, haven't you already known this?"
The emperor pretended to say "I don't know anything" and said, "The master thinks highly of me, but I can't read faces, how can I know which of my sons it is."
"Your Majesty, why didn't you bring His Highness?"
"Master, do you know again?"
The old man said nothing and looked smiling.
"He fell asleep."
"Then the old man will go with the emperor to have a look."
Seeing the old man being so active, the emperor was a little surprised: "Master, are you so enthusiastic?"
The old man took a deep look at the emperor, and then said with a profound expression: "This is why the old man came here this time."
This sentence surprised the emperor: "Master came to the capital this time not to see me, but to see Xiao Shi?"
"Exactly." The old man stood up and said, "Please lead the way, Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at the old man suspiciously, and immediately took him to see Zhao Yao, who was taking a nap.
The old man sat beside the bed, staring at Zhao Yao who was sleeping soundly with burning eyes. After a moment, he stood up and left the house.
The emperor and the old man returned to the previous house. The emperor hurriedly asked: "How?"
The old man said with unclear meaning: "The time is not yet ripe."
The emperor understood what the old man meant, nodded in agreement and said: "He is still young, and the time is indeed not yet ripe."
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Tenth Prince is just like you back then." The old man smiled, "You two, father and son, have very similar temperaments."
"Xiao Shi is indeed the most like me." The emperor shook the tea cup in his hand slightly, and the golden and bright tea swayed gently in the tea cup. "So, I want him to do what he wants to do." He He can't do what he wants in this life, so he hopes Xiao Shi can do what he wants.
"Your Majesty, the Tenth Highness has a mission to come to this world. He, like you, has to bear the heavy responsibilities of the people of the world." The old man said, "Even if you don't want His Highness to bear the responsibility of the people of the world, God will still let the Tenth Highness bear the responsibility." , because this is his mission in this world."
"As an emperor, I naturally hope that my son can be an outstanding and good emperor and really bring prosperity to the Zhou Dynasty." The emperor said, sighing softly, "As a father, I hope that he can Live freely and happily.”
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness cannot escape his fate." The old Taoist said meaningfully, "Since His Highness's illness last year, his fate has been doomed and no one can reverse it."
The emperor did not expect that the old man knew about Zhao Yao's serious illness last year. He was very surprised: "Master, how do you know about Xiao Shi's illness last year?"
The old man did not answer, but looked at the emperor quietly.
The emperor suddenly thought of something, and he asked with a somewhat unhappy face: "So, Xiao Shi's serious illness last year was also destined?"
"Exactly," the old man said again, "The fate of His Highness has also changed as a result."
After hearing what the old man said, the emperor suddenly thought that his youngest son had become a lot smarter since he became ill last year, and he has made many shocking good things since this year.
"Xiao Shi..." Liang Zhaoyi did not tell the emperor about Zhao Yao's dream. After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable.
The old man said: "It is still your son, His Highness the Tenth Prince."
The emperor didn't understand what the old man meant and thought his words were quite baffling: "Of course Xiao Shi is my son."
"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for His Highness to stay in the capital before the time is ripe." The old man reminded the emperor, "When Your Highness becomes a king, let Him stay away from the capital. By then His Highness will do many amazing things."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Away from the capital?"
The old man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the farther away the better!"
The emperor wanted to ask more questions, but the old man changed the subject and talked about other things, not Zhao Yao.
There will be another update in the evening.
Zhao Yao: It’s really tiring to have a father who competes with his son for food.
Emperor Wu of Zhou: I am very happy.
Zhao Yao: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
