At noon, after school, Zhao Yao went to Kunde Hall to have lunch.
Seeing Zhao Yao coming, Poppy quickly helped him take off his raincoat, then reached out to touch his face and then his hands.
"Why are your face and hands so cold? Are they frozen?" After saying this, he asked the maid next to him to go to the kitchen quickly and bring a bowl of ginger soup.
"Second Concubine, I'm not freezing, so I don't need to drink ginger soup."
Pan Cairen said from the side: "It's raining so heavily outside and the wind is blowing so hard. It's better to drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up and avoid getting cold."
Zhao Yao still wanted to resist, but the palace maid had already brought ginger soup. He had no choice but to drink it, otherwise Liang Bin would drink it down directly.
Seeing Zhao Yao drink the ginger soup, Poppy still felt uneasy and told Tongxi to keep an eye on Zhao Yao. If Zhao Yao feels uncomfortable, he must call the imperial doctor immediately.
Tongxi hurriedly said that he understood.
"Second Concubine, I'm not that delicate. I won't fall ill from a little wind or a little rain." Zhao Yao felt helpless to the poppies and the others who treated him like a porcelain doll, "I have always been I've never been sick." He has been drinking goat's milk and exercising over the past few years. His body has become stronger and stronger, and he has become less and less sick.
"That can't be taken lightly." Ever since the fifth princess and Ji got married, Poppy looked at Zhao Yao like a ball in his eye.
Concubine Liang looked at Zhao Yao and said, "Your second concubine is worried about you. You listen to your second concubine."
Zhao Yao nodded obediently: "Okay, I listen to the second mother and concubine, I will definitely take care of myself."
"Isn't that right?" said Poppy, and personally served a bowl of soup to Zhao Yao, "Here, let's drink a bowl of soup first to warm your stomach."
Pan Cairen said: "Yao Yao, this is the soup your second mother-in-law personally made for you early in the morning. You should drink a few more bowls."
"Then I will definitely drink a few more bowls." Zhao Yao said this, but felt very helpless in his heart. Since the fifth sister left the palace to get married, the second mother-in-law became more and more concerned about him and often made him various tonic soups. I drink soup every day, and I get tired of it no matter how delicious the soup is. He now smelled the soup and felt sick to his stomach.
He really wanted to ask the second concubine not to stew the soup for him, but every time he saw the second concubine looking at him expectantly, he couldn't bear to speak. If he said that he didn't want to drink soup anymore, the second mother-in-law would definitely be very disappointed, and maybe even sad.
Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Poppy's face showed a smile of relief: "Drinking more soup is good for your health." Poppy learned to make a lot of stews to nourish the body for the fifth princess. It was a pity that the fifth princess was unwilling to enter the palace, so she had to let Zhao Yao drink it.
"That's what the second concubine said." Ever since the fifth sister got married, the second concubine seemed to have lost her soul. Although the second mother-in-law put all her thoughts on him, she still had not recovered from the departure of the fifth sister. "Second Concubine, you drink too."
Poppy chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll drink too."
During the meal, Poppy kept bringing vegetables to Zhao Yao, asking him to eat more.
After lunch, Poppy made another outfit and a pair of shoes and socks for Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao accepted it unceremoniously.
Concubine Liang saw that Poppy had been making soup for Zhao Yao all morning, so she persuaded her to go back for a lunch break. Poppy was indeed a little tired. After listening to Liang Bin's words, she went back to her room to take a lunch break. Before leaving, she told Zhao Yao that she would make his favorite snack for him in the afternoon and deliver it to his house.
Zhao Yao was not polite, and directly asked what snacks he wanted to eat, saying that he wanted to eat sugar-steamed cheese, osmanthus-sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, water chestnut flour cake...
Poppy laughed when she heard it and said she would do it for him.
Zhao Yao also said that his sachet was old and wanted a new one. Poppy asked to do it for him right away and make it look good.
After the poppy left, Zhao Yao sighed softly: "Concubine, it's not an option for the second concubine to keep doing this." He couldn't keep looking for things for the second concubine to do. "Concubine Mother, you should find other things for Concubine Two to do."
"What can I ask her to do?" Liang Bin looked at the light rain outside the window and said, "It won't rain anymore. Then I can help her plant vegetables and flowers." During this period, it rained all the time, and the vegetable patch in the yard was all wet. No digging.
"Concubine, why don't you summon the fifth sister to the palace?"
"Xiao Wu is pregnant and it's inconvenient to go out. It would be bad if something happens to the palace." The fifth princess is five months old and it is really inconvenient to go out. "Besides, your second mother-in-law doesn't agree to let your fifth sister enter the palace at this time."
Liang Concubine thought of the resentful look in the eyes of the fifth princess before she got married and left the palace, and she let out a heavy sigh: "Oh, your fifth sister has complained about us, and she is unwilling to enter the palace to see us."
"Fifth sister complained that we were being unreasonable, and her marriage is not something we can interfere with." Mentioning this matter, Zhao Yao's face became a little ugly, and he felt a little angry, "The person chosen by the Queen, Father. What can we do if we are personally granted marriage? Also, the person she wants to marry cannot be married at all, so what can we do if she blames us?"
"This kid Xiaowu..." Concubine Liang had a confused look on her face, "I didn't expect that she would never forget Wuchenghou's youngest son."
"The youngest son of Marquis Wucheng has been the consort of the second sister for a long time. I don't even know why the fifth sister has been thinking about him." Zhao Yao said with a slightly sullen face, "Then what kind of fascination did the youngest son of Marquis Wucheng fill her with?" Tang, she was so obsessed with it."
Liang Bi couldn't figure it out, shook her head and said, "Who knows." This kid Xiao Wu is really impressive...
"Then Marquis Wucheng's youngest son doesn't even know who the fifth sister is." Previously, once I met Marquis Wucheng's youngest son and the second princess entering the palace, and Marquis Wucheng's youngest son obviously didn't remember the fifth sister. "Actually, the husband the Empress has chosen for the fifth sister is pretty good. Although he is not from a wealthy family, the fifth brother-in-law serves in the court and is only a fifth-rank official."
"Although the fifth brother-in-law's family is from a poor family, it has a clean family background. Both parents are honest people, and the family is not very simple. There is no squalor in the big house of aristocratic families. The most important thing is that the fifth brother-in-law's family does not have any intercourse, and he does not know how to take concubines. .
The fifth sister was married into the fifth brother-in-law's family as a princess. The fifth brother-in-law's family wanted to treat her as their ancestor and did not dare to show any slightness. "
In his opinion, the Queen really arranged an excellent marriage for the fifth sister, but it was a pity that the fifth sister was not satisfied with it.
Even if the fifth sister could marry Marquis Wucheng's youngest son, with her IQ and temperament, she would not be able to fight those people in Marquis Wucheng's mansion, and there was no telling how she would be bullied.
"Fifth sister is so blessed that she never knows how blessed she is."
Liang Bin agreed with her son's words. She sighed softly and said, "I hope Xiao Wu won't act recklessly."
"The fifth brother-in-law is also a good person. He knows that the person that the fifth sister wants to marry is not him. He knows that the fifth sister is wronged by marrying him, so he is very tolerant of the fifth sister." Zhao Yao would visit the fifth princess every time he went out of the palace. I would always chat with my fifth brother-in-law. "He also said that he will always be kind to the fifth sister. I really hope that the fifth sister will not hurt the fifth brother-in-law's heart." Although the fifth brother-in-law is not very talented, he has a calm temperament and a kind heart, and does not have the sourness of studying. rot.
"I hope so." Concubine Liang was not very optimistic about the fifth princess and the fifth prince-in-law. "I hope Xiaowu won't regret it in the future."
"Concubine, do you mean that the fifth sister can do it?"
Liang Bi nodded lightly and said, "Well, Xiao Wu's temperament is actually very stubborn. It's hard to change her mind about what she believes in. She has two consorts in her heart, and there is no room for five consorts."
She added: "Xiaowu will unconsciously compare the fifth prince-in-law with the second prince-in-law. In this comparison, the fifth prince-in-law is naturally inferior to the second prince-son-in-law in every way. This will make her hate the fifth prince-in-law even more, and then she will He always finds fault with the five princes-in-law and makes the family uneasy."
Zhao Yao frowned after hearing what Liang Bin said.
"No, I can't let her do it. I have to talk to her nicely next time Xiu Mu leaves the palace."
"Take a nice tone and don't make her angry. After all, she is pregnant now." After Liang Bi finished speaking, she felt it was inappropriate and hurriedly said to Zhao Yao, "You'd better not tell Xiao Wu. She already has resentment in her heart. , she has a sensitive mind, and hearing you say that to her will make her think too much, and she will be angry and aggrieved, and it will be bad if she gets fetal gas by then."
"Then don't say anything, let her do what she wants, and torment the fifth brother-in-law and his family? "The fifth brother-in-law and his family are all honest people.
Concubine Liang thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I'll call her into the palace to raise the baby and let her give birth to the baby in the palace."
Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid the Queen will not agree?" How can a married princess return to the palace to raise a child?
Liang Concubine said: "Didn't the second princess raise a fetus in the palace and give birth to a child?"
Zhao Yao thought that with the example of his second sister, the Queen would not agree.
"Concubine, you'd better tell the Empress first." It's a big deal for the fifth sister to return to the palace to raise and give birth to a child. If you don't say hello to the empress in advance and directly call the fifth sister back to the palace, you will only anger the queen. Empress.
The Queen is actually quite easy to talk to, but the premise is that you have to say hello to her and ask her if she agrees. It's not a big deal, the queen will agree to it.
"Okay, I will go to Zhaoyang Palace in person early tomorrow morning to ask for the Empress."
"When the fifth sister returns to the palace, the second mother-in-law will also come to her senses. She probably won't make soup for me anymore." If he drinks any more, he is afraid that he will feel nauseated when he hears the word "soup".
Concubine Liang held back her laughter and said, "You can leave the palace in two days and tell the five princes-in-law about this matter so that they don't think too much about it."
"good."
Zhao Yao chatted with Liang Bin for a while before leaving and returning to Xingdeok Palace.
Tong Xi told Zhao Yao what had happened in the morning and said, "Your Highness, the Huns are coming to our country soon. Everyone says that the Huns are not doing good things this time."
"The Huns came to Zhou Dynasty to investigate the military situation. How could they act on their good intentions?" Zhao Yao guessed, "When they arrive in the capital, they will still provoke us."
"Are the Huns so rampant?"
"The Huns have always been arrogant and domineering." Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This time they come, we must give them a blow to let them know that Da Zhou is not easy to mess with."
"The emperor has left the matter of entertaining the Huns to His Highness the King of Dai. I hope His Highness the King of Dai can frighten these Huns."
"Although the second brother is known as the God of War, the second brother has never fought against the Huns. The Huns will not be afraid of the second brother, the god of war, but will provoke the second brother. I hope the second brother will not be easily fooled by the Huns."
The colleague was surprised: "Are the Huns so insidious?"
"The Huns are the ones who are rampant, insidious, vicious, ferocious, cruel, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong." Zhao Yao was thinking in his mind, how he would deal with the Huns when they arrived.
"Your Highness, then we have to teach them a lesson."
"Father, they will make arrangements." Seeing that it was not raining outside, Zhao Yao asked Tong Xi to help him change clothes. He had to go to the martial arts field to practice riding and shooting.
After changing into his riding and shooting uniform, Zhao Yao went to the martial arts field. When he arrived, he found that many soldiers were practicing riding, shooting, wrestling, and martial arts...
Zhao Yao asked Fan Ruyi what happened to these soldiers. Fan Ruyi told Zhao Yao that the Huns were coming to the capital, and said that when the Huns arrived, they would definitely provoke the Zhou soldiers. If the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were defeated by the Huns, the national prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be gone.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty could never lose to the Huns, so the soldiers practiced hard.
Zhao Yao agreed with the soldiers' behavior of improvising.
"Sir, the Huns' cavalry are very fierce. When they arrive, they will definitely challenge them."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Zhou's cavalry will not lose to the Xiongnu."
"No, sir, what I mean is that the Xiongnu must be given a blow, and it must be a blow that they will never forget and make them afraid when they think about it." Zhao Yao said, and an idea came to his mind.
"Your Highness, do you have any ideas?"
"I did think of an idea just now, but it has to be approved by my father. After I finish practicing riding and shooting, I will go to my father."
"If the Emperor agrees, I will do my best to cooperate with His Highness."
"Don't worry, sir, your cooperation is indispensable." Zhao Yao said, "Sir, I'm going to practice first."
"Your Highness, please be safe."
Zhao Yao still practiced riding and shooting as before, hiding his clumsy practice and not showing his true strength.
After the practice, Zhao Yao didn't even change his clothes and ran directly to the imperial study room to find the emperor.
The emperor was a little surprised. When Zhao Yao came to see him, he saw that he was still wearing a riding and shooting uniform, with sweat on his forehead and face. His heart tightened slightly, and he hurriedly asked with concern: "Bad boy, what happened, are you in such a hurry?" Come to me?"
Sun Kui brought a basin of warm water and helped Zhao Yao wipe his face and wash his hands. After that, he brought Zhao Yao another cup of tea.
"Father, there is nothing urgent. I just have something I want to discuss with you."
The emperor asked: "What's the matter?"
"Father, it's like this..." Zhao Yao told the emperor the idea he had thought of in the martial arts field.
After hearing this, the emperor said with a smile on his face: "I promise you, you will choose the person yourself."
"Thank you, Father."
"You brat, if you don't give the Huns a blow by then, I won't be able to spare you."
Zhao Yao said emphatically: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely give the Huns an unforgettable showdown."
"Okay, I'll wait." The emperor said with a smile, "If you succeed, I will reward you."
"Father, it doesn't matter whether you reward me or not. I'm not here for rewards."
The emperor teased Zhao Yao and said, "If you are not doing it for rewards, then what are you doing?"
The second update is here.
Huns: Great Zhou, here we come.
Zhao Yao: Just waiting for you to come.
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward! Please leave a message!
