Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye.
He Zhengshu, Liu Jun, Shen Miao, and Chu Yi sat together to discuss things.
The four of them have been coming to Lingnan for some time on their father's orders. During this period of time, they did nothing major and went out every day to investigate the situation.
He Zhengshu said: "Winter has entered, but it is much warmer here than in the capital." He is the second son of He Xiang, and he looks gentle and gentle.
Liu Jun nodded and said, "This is like spring in the capital." He is the second son of Taishi Liu. Unlike the gloomy and unpredictable Taishi Liu, he has a very cheerful temperament.
Shen Miao fanned herself with a broken fan: "It's much hotter than the capital."
Chu Yi curled his lips in disgust and said, "I've been coming to this ghost place for a while, but I'm still not used to it." It's too hot and stuffy here. If you move your body even a little bit, you'll be covered in sweat.
Shen Miao and Chu Yi are military generals, and they are not afraid of the cold. The two of them were wearing thin clothes and it was too hot.
"I see that you are in high spirits every day, and I thought you were happy to be here." Liu Jun teased Chu Yi.
Chu Yi said angrily: "I'm here now, so I can't cry every day."
Shen Miao smiled and said: "This place is not without its merits. I quite like it here."
He Zhengshu agreed with Shen Miao's words and said: "Well, it's actually pretty good here, especially the tea." He Zhengshu likes to drink tea very much on weekdays, and is nicknamed "tea crazy". When he came to Lingnan, he didn't bring any luggage, but he brought a lot of tea. He originally thought that there was no good tea in a desolate place like Lingnan, but he did not expect that there were many good teas in Lingnan, which was an unexpected surprise for him.
Liu Jun said: "The fruits here are also good, and there are many that cannot be seen in the capital, especially lychees." Unfortunately, Lingnan is too far away from the capital, so it is difficult to send the lychees back to the capital, otherwise my father and the others can try them.
"There's nothing wrong with it except that it's a little hotter, a little humid, and there are a lot more mosquitoes." As soon as Shen Miao finished speaking, she raised her hand and patted her face, killing an unknown insect. "I still quite like it here."
Chu Yi said: "You have to like it even if you don't like it. After all, we have to stay here forever."
Liu Jun looked at Chu Yi jokingly: "Xiao Yiyi, if you don't want to stay here, you can apply to Dad to return to the capital."
When Chu Yi heard Liu Jun's words, he glared at him fiercely: "Who are you looking down on?" He disliked this place, but it didn't mean that he was unwilling to stay here. They are here on a mission.
"I see you are quite impatient."
"Liu Er, do you want to fight?" Chu Ying's temperament is relatively calm, but the second son Chu Yi's temper is a little fiery.
He Zhengshu hurriedly stopped the two of them: "Okay, let's get down to business now."
After hearing He Zhengshu's words, Chu Yi sat back obediently, while Liu Jun put away the teasing smile on his face.
"Chu Er and I will continue to check the situation of the villages in this area. Sanshui, you and Liu Er will continue to check the situation of the villages in that area." Lingnan is really too big. They have been here for several months and have not yet visited it all. Everywhere. "Be careful when you go to inquire about the situation." The folk customs here in Lingnan are relatively tough, and most of the people are not easy to get along with. When they went to inquire about the situation before, something almost happened.
Shen Miao nodded to He Zhengshu: "You should also pay attention."
He Zhengshu and Chu Yi walked to the east, while Shen Miao and Li Liujun walked to the west.
"Liu Er, you always provoke Chu Er to do something." Shen Miao chatted with Liu Jun while riding a horse, "He has a bad temper."
"I just want to tease him because he has a bad temper." The smile on Liu Jun's face was as bright as the sunshine in Lingnan, but his eyes were narrow. "Why did Uncle Ying send Chu Er? He should have sent Chu Da."
Shen Miao could guess, "Uncle Ying sent Chu Er to Lingnan to temper his temper."
"Sanshui, how much do you know about His Highness the Tenth Prince?" Liu Jun asked suddenly.
Shen Miao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I got the stirrups from His Highness the Tenth Prince." At this point, Shen Miao stepped on the stirrups specifically, "There are also movable type printing and new paper, you can tell that His Highness the Tenth Prince is A very smart man.”
"His Royal Highness is only six years old. Isn't it too early?" Liu Jun always felt that the tenth prince was too young and had not yet been determined, so the emperor decided to let him inherit the throne. Wasn't it a bit rash?
Shen Miao understood what Liu Jun meant: "Don't underestimate His Royal Highness just because he is only six years old. If nothing else, let's talk about the doctors who arrived some time ago. Like us, they are looking around for the situation in Lingnan. You just I understand that His Highness the Tenth Prince is not an ordinary child."
"Didn't these doctors come to Lingnan for us?"
"On the one hand, it is for us, and on the other hand, it is to collect information on difficult and complicated diseases in Lingnan." Shen Miao pointed to the mountains in the distance with a riding whip, "The main reason is to understand the miasma and find ways to solve them. "
"The miasma in Lingnan is no joke." Some time ago, Liu Jun felt the horror of the miasma. If he hadn't been followed by a doctor, I'm afraid he would still be sick.
"From this point, you can see that His Royal Highness has great foresight." Shen Miao continued, "Next, the Emperor will send some people to Lingnan."
"The emperor really loves His Highness the Tenth. Before the Tenth Highness comes to Lingnan, he will make all preparations for him." Liu Jun sighed, "I hope His Highness the Tenth Highness will not disappoint us."
"Didn't Uncle Liu tell you?" Shen Miao felt a little strange when she saw that Liu Jun was not convinced by His Highness the Tenth Prince.
Liu Jun asked with confusion on his face: "What did you say?"
"His Royal Highness Ten is..."
Zhao Yao, who was far away in the capital, sneezed unexpectedly.
"Your Highness, have you caught the cold?" During this period, the weather in the capital was getting colder and colder, and Tongxi was always worried that Zhao Yao would get sick from the cold. Your Highness must not get sick, otherwise Your Highness will be like last year.
Seeing Tong Xi looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Zhao Yao said helplessly: "I just sneezed, you don't have to be so nervous." After saying that, he sniffed and said, "I didn't catch the cold, there must be someone behind me. Talk bad about me."
"Your Highness, I'd better ask the imperial doctor to take your pulse later." No wonder Tong Xi was so frightened. Last year, Zhao Yao suffered from a cold, and he was ill for several months and almost died of the illness.
"I'm really fine." Zhao Yao rubbed his nose and said, "Don't tell the mother and concubine." Once the mother and concubine know that he sneezes and he is not sick, the mother and concubine will definitely let him take medicine.
"But……"
Zhao Yao glared at Tong Xi and threatened him: "If you tell my mother and concubine, you will be dead."
Tongxi nodded with a look of horror on his face: "I won't tell you." His Highness didn't let him tell the empress, but he didn't let him tell the Fourth Highness. He told the Fourth Highness that he would see the Fourth Highness later.
Zhao Yao put his hands in his sleeves and walked like a little old man.
"Are there any chestnuts in the palace?"
Tong Xi was stunned for a moment when he was asked, then thought for a moment and said, "There should be a royal dining room."
"You can go to the imperial dining room later to pick up some chestnuts, and then send them back to Kunde Hall to have the small kitchen fry some and roast some." Zhao Yao said, "In winter, you should eat fried and roasted chestnuts."
"Your Highness, do you want to eat chestnut cake?" Tongxi said deliberately, "Chestnut cake is also delicious."
"Of course." Speaking of what should be eaten in winter, Zhao Yao's mind unconsciously flashed the scene of Zhao Yao eating roasted sweet potatoes in his dream, "The most important thing to eat in winter is roasted sweet potatoes, but it's a pity that I haven't found any sweet potatoes yet." The good friend of my uncle’s foreign friend will not go to Michel until next spring.
"Your Highness, don't you often say that the most important thing to eat in winter is hot pot? Why did it change to roasted sweet potatoes?"
"What do you know? Roasted sweet potatoes are a snack." Zhao Yao said, "Roasted sweet potatoes are fragrant, sweet and glutinous. The most important thing is that they can warm your hands if you hold them in your hands." After saying this, Zhao Yao's mouth was filled with greed. It's all saliva.
"We're hungry, let's go find Fourth Brother for dinner."
When Zhao Yao arrived at Lanyuan Pavilion, the fourth prince had already asked people to prepare hot pot.
"Fourth brother, what birthday gift do you plan to give to your father?" His father's birthday will be in a few days, but he has not yet decided what to give his father. When it comes to birthday gifts, Zhao Yao despises the emperor in his heart. The stinky father actually asked him for a birthday gift, and demanded that the gift must be good. If the birthday gift he gave him was not what he wanted, he would never let him go.
Is there such a shameless father? He actually asked his youngest son for a gift, and it had to be in line with his wishes. He asked the smelly father what he wanted, but the smelly father asked him to think for himself.
He is not a roundworm in his stomach, how can he know what he wants.
The stinking father must be deliberately making things difficult for him!
The fourth prince cooked a piece of mutton and put it into Zhao Yao's bowl, and said warmly: "I'm going to draw a birthday picture to give to my father."
"Fourth brother, didn't you give your father a birthday greeting calligraphy last year?" The fourth prince's calligraphy is the best among the princes. The birthday greeting calligraphy given to the emperor last year was praised by the emperor. "Last year I gave you words, but this year I give you paintings?"
"Um."
Zhao Yao looked envious: "I don't know what to give to my father yet." It's a pity that his calligraphy and painting are not good, otherwise he would also draw a birthday picture to give to his father. "Fourth brother, do you know what father likes?"
When the fourth prince heard Zhao Yao ask this, he mistakenly thought that he wanted to please the emperor.
"I'll help you prepare."
"Okay... uh..." Zhao Yao thought of the scene of the emperor threatening him, and could only reluctantly refuse the help of the fourth prince. "Fourth brother, I'd better prepare it myself." If his stinking father knew what he had given him, The birthday gift was prepared by the fourth brother, and his stinky father would definitely find trouble with him.
"You can also draw a birthday picture."
Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "Fourth brother, my painting is not good-looking."
"Father will not dislike it."
"I'll think about it." Zhao Yao complained to the emperor in his heart that his stinky father was really annoying.
People in the dining room downstairs were discussing the envoys from Annan, Johor and other countries. A month ago, envoys from Anron, Johor and other countries arrived in the capital one after another. At that time, they entered the capital in a big way, and because they looked different from the people of the Zhou Dynasty, they caused quite a stir in the capital.
This time, there was a princess among the foreign envoys who came to congratulate the Zhou Dynasty. This princess is the princess of Annan Kingdom, and her goal is very clear, she wants to get married to Dazhou.
A few years ago, the Anran Kingdom attacked the southern Xinjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty and occupied many places in the southern Xinjiang. After the emperor learned about it, he immediately sent Yan Huarong to southern Xinjiang.
As soon as Yan Huarong arrived in southern Xinjiang, he recovered many places with lightning speed. In less than a year, Yan Huarong took back the area occupied by the Annan Kingdom. Afterwards, Yan Huarong led the army to attack Annan Kingdom.
The soldiers of Annan Kingdom were no match for Yan Huarong, and Annan Kingdom soon lost a lot of places. Seeing that he was no match for Zhou, the king of Annan immediately asked for peace, but the emperor did not agree.
The emperor directly ordered Yan Huarong to capture Annan Kingdom. Yan Huarong spent three years conquering the whole country of Annan. Today's Annan Kingdom is a vassal state of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The king of Annan had always wanted to send people to Dazhou, but the emperor had been unwilling to see them.
In the past two years, Annan State has paid tribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and finally got the opportunity to pay tribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In order to reconcile with Dazhou, the king of Annan specially sent the eldest prince, second prince and third princess to Dazhou to congratulate him.
It is said that the third princess of Annan Kingdom is the most beautiful woman in Annan Kingdom and the apple of the eye of the king of Annan Kingdom. In order to be on good terms with Dazhou, the king of Annan not only spent a lot of money to send many congratulatory gifts, but also sent his favorite daughter to Dazhou to get married.
After the envoy from Annan Kingdom arrived in the capital, Zhao Yao curiously ran to see the princess of Annan Kingdom. Although she was the most beautiful woman in Annan Kingdom, she was far behind Concubine Rong.
The ministers are all discussing whether the princess of Annan Kingdom should enter the palace as a concubine or become a prince's concubine.
It is impossible for His Royal Highness to marry the princess of Annan Kingdom.
If he were to become the king, he might marry her as his concubine.
The third prince might also marry her concubine. Of course, the fourth prince is also possible. Although the fourth prince is still two years away from adulthood, he is only one year younger than the princess of Annan Kingdom.
The ministers were all guessing who would be married if the emperor asked the princes to marry the princess of Annan.
"Fourth brother, who do you think father will let marry the princess of Annan?" Fourth brother is definitely not willing to marry. The third brother definitely wants to marry the princess of Annan Kingdom, and the second brother might also want to marry her.
"I don't know." The fourth prince firmly believed that the emperor would not let him marry the princess of Annan, so he was not worried about this matter at all, and he also did not care who married the princess of Annan.
The fourth prince did not want to marry the princess of Annan Kingdom, but the king and the third prince wanted to marry her. They married her, of course, not because she was the most beautiful woman in Annan Kingdom, but because they took a fancy to Annan Kingdom behind her.
Although Annan is now a vassal state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is still a country after all, and it is not small. The most important thing is that Annan is rich.
With the support of An Nanguo, King Dai felt that he had a better chance of winning against the crown prince. Of course, the third prince and the Wang family also thought so.
The king of Dai and Marquis Xuanping negotiated and when the Wanshou Festival came, he took the initiative to propose to the emperor that he marry the princess of Annan as his concubine.
Because of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter, King Dai has not yet married Princess Side. The king of Dai felt that if he proposed to the emperor to marry Princess Annan as his concubine, the emperor would definitely agree.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen are definitely not willing to let the king marry the princess of Annan Kingdom as his concubine. As for the third prince, they didn't take it seriously because it wasn't his turn at all.
The third prince knew clearly that if he proposed to the emperor to marry the princess of Annan as his concubine, the emperor would definitely not agree, so he planned to use extraordinary means to force the princess of Annan to marry him as his concubine.
"That princess of Annan Kingdom is quite arrogant. I don't like her." People in the post house said that the princess of Annan State was very arrogant and would ask for this and that as soon as she arrived at the post house. "She is obviously the princess of a defeated country, so I don't know why she is so arrogant."
The fourth prince said in a calm tone: "People in a small area are uneducated."
"Fourth sister went to the post house some time ago and personally taught the princess of Annan a lesson. I heard that during this period, the princess of Annan became a lot more honest." Fourth sister is the most arrogant and domineering princess in the Zhou Dynasty. How could she allow it? A little princess from Annan Kingdom made a splash in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The fourth prince frowned slightly and said, "It is beneath your status to argue with a princess from a small place."
In Xingde Palace, the Eighth Prince and Yu Hai were also discussing Princess Annan.
The eighth prince said with a half-smile: "Since the third emperor wants to marry Princess Annan as his concubine, then we will help him."
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Yu Hai thought of how the third prince usually looked down on the eighth prince, and said with anger in his heart, "Your highness, we must make the third prince look good this time."
The Eighth Prince said in a cold tone: "This is natural."
There will be another update in the evening.
Zhao Yao: What should I give to my stinking father?
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward! Please leave a message!
