The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 192

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Yao has been worrying about one thing.

The Eighth Prince saw that Zhao Yao had been frowning tightly for the past few days, with a sad face, and asked with concern: "Tenth Brother, what happened to you these few days, you always look preoccupied?"

"Brother, it's my concubine's birthday soon, I'm thinking of what birthday gift to concubine mother for her birthday." These days, Zhao Yao has been worrying about this matter.

"I remember you gave Lady Zhaoyi a jade hairpin last year, and this year you can give Lady Zhaoyi a pair of earrings or a bracelet." The eighth prince knew about Liang Zhaoyi's birthday, and he would prepare birthday gifts for Liang Zhaoyi every year.He has already prepared Liang Zhaoyi's birthday gift this year.

"I want to make something for my concubine with my own hands, but I can't think of what gift to give to my concubine for a while." Zhao Yao looked at the eighth prince and asked, "Myna, what should I do for my concubine?" ?”

"Do it yourself?" The Eighth Prince thought about it seriously, and then suggested, "Can you make a wooden hairpin for Empress Zhaoyi?"

"Wooden hairpin?" Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Wooden hairpin is too plain, and it's not very good-looking." Wooden hairpins are not as good-looking as jade hairpins and gold hairpins.

The eighth prince couldn't think of any good suggestions for the time being. After all, Zhao Yao was a small person, and there were not many things he could make with his own hands.

"Brother Ten, I advise you to buy it. If you don't have enough money, I'll give you some money."'

"Brother, I'm rich." Zhao Yao insisted, "I still want to make something for my concubine myself."

Seeing that Zhao Yao insisted on making a gift by himself, the eighth prince couldn't persuade him any more.

"Then think about it."

"Brother, what do you think women need most?" Zhao Yao asked, "What do women like my mother and concubine like most?"

"Generally speaking, women like gold and silver jewelry, or beautiful clothes."

"Mufei is not very interested in these things." Zhao Yao scratched the back of his head and said, "Mufei likes to grow vegetables, so I can't give them vegetables."

The Eighth Prince suddenly thought of a good idea: "You can order a bowl of longevity noodles for Empress Zhaoyi yourself."

"Brother, I don't know how to cook." Zhao Yao said with a bitter face, "I don't want my concubine to eat the longevity noodles I made on her birthday and have diarrhea."

The Eighth Prince was amused by Zhao Yao's words, and then he thought of another idea.

"Miss Zhaoyi likes to read, don't you? You can send books to Mistress Zhaoyi."

"This is a good idea, but I still want to make something for my concubine." Zhao Yao pouted, "If I really can't think of a good gift, I'll give a book to my concubine."

The Eighth Prince said: "I think it's good to send books."

While talking, Mr. Xiao walked in.

The third, fifth and sixth princes were assassinated during the perinatal period and suffered serious injuries.During this period of time, they have been recuperating in Xingde Palace and did not come to Wende Palace to study.

The fourth prince has long stopped studying in Wende Hall, and now he is busy compiling history in Lanyuan Pavilion every day.

Currently, only the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince and Zhao Yao are studying in Wende Hall.

Mr. Xiao first explained the content to the Seventh Prince, then lectured to the Eighth Prince, then to the Ninth Prince, and finally to Zhao Yao.

Although Mr. Xiao is already Zhao Yao's person, the two of them are still the same as usual, there is nothing special about them, even the Eighth Prince didn't notice it.However, occasionally, Mr. Xiao would call Zhao Yao to his study, on the surface to explain to him the content of the class again, but in fact the two were discussing other things.

In the past, Zhao Yao would be distracted in Mr. Xiao's class, but since Mr. Xiao agreed to go to the fiefdom with him, Zhao Yao will not be distracted in his class again.

Soon, at noon, the morning class ended.

Mr. Xiao didn't stop Zhao Yao, but glanced at him.

Zhao Yao understood Mr. Xiao's meaning and nodded slightly to him.

Both Mr. Xiao and Zhao Yao will take a rest tomorrow.Zhao Yao plans to leave the palace tomorrow to find Mr. Xiao.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, several tribesmen sent by Zhao Yao's grandfather Liang Shuren had already arrived in the capital.After a while, Liang Run will take them to Wusun.

Before they went to Wusun, Zhao Yao would go out of the palace to meet them and explain some things to them.

"Brother, I'm going out of the palace for a rest tomorrow, do you need me to buy you something?" Although the Eighth Prince came to Wende Hall to study every day, he couldn't practice his afternoon lessons, such as riding and archery. After all, his injury was not completely healed.

The Eighth Prince thought for a while and said, "I don't want anything."

Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled badly: "Hey, myna, let me buy some scriptures for you to read." Every time he went out of the palace, he would buy some scriptures, "Myna, I'm talking to you. It was fun and I learned a lot.”

The Eighth Prince shook his head and refused, "I'm not interested in reading scripts."

"It's really pretty, starling, can you take a look?"

"Don't look." The Eighth Prince raised his hand and patted Zhao Yao's little head, "You don't have to hurry back and have lunch."

"I'm not going back to Kunde Palace for lunch, I'm going to Lanyuan Pavilion to find fourth brother to get books." Zhao Yao waved to the eighth prince, "Myna, I'm going to Lanyuan Pavilion first." After finishing speaking, he jumped up. Bounced away.

The Eighth Prince frowned, and immediately brought Yu Hai back to Xingde Palace.

The fourth prince was waiting for Zhao Yao, and when he saw him coming, he took him to the dining room for lunch.

During lunch, Zhao Yao told the fourth prince about his idea of ​​making a birthday present for Liang Zhaoyi, and asked the fourth prince if he had any suggestions.

The fourth prince and the eighth prince suggested that Zhao Yao make a wooden hairpin.After the proposal to make a wooden hairpin was rejected by Zhao Yao, he proposed to Zhao Yao to make a comb.

Making a comb is a good suggestion, so Zhao Yao decided to consider it.

"Fourth brother, I will take a rest tomorrow and decide to go out of the palace to play. Is there anything you want that I can bring back from outside the palace?"

"No, I'm leaving the palace tomorrow too."

Hearing this, Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Fourth brother, you are leaving the palace tomorrow, where are you going?"

"Tomorrow, I will go to my grandfather's house." The fourth prince said while picking up vegetables for Zhao Yao. "I am going to my grandfather's house to find books. Will you go with me tomorrow?"

"Fourth brother, what book are you looking for?"

"Some books related to historical materials." The fourth prince said, "There are many books related to historical materials in the library of my grandfather's house." The historical materials in Lanyuan Pavilion are not complete.When they were repairing the history of the previous dynasty, they found that some historical materials were missing, and there were none in Lanyuan Pavilion. He and his cousins ​​thought of the Li family library and planned to look for it.

Mentioning the Li family's library, Zhao Yao's eyes instantly became bright: "Fourth brother, I heard Mr. Xiao say that your grandfather's library is a treasure house, and there are many precious books in it. Is it true? ah?"

"It's true, the library of my grandfather's house has a lot of books. Many books that have been lost among the people can be found in the library of my grandfather's house." The fourth prince said, "Grandfather has collected many books from generation to generation. And it's been kept very well."

After Zhao Yao heard this, he thought about his little calculations in his heart.

"Fourth brother, can I borrow these precious books to read when I grow up?"

The fourth prince agreed very readily: "Yes." The books in the Li family's collection are not for loan, but to the fourth prince, Zhao Yao is not an outsider.

"Thank you fourth brother." The good books in the Li family's collection are treasures, and he has to read them carefully.

"Are you going to my grandfather's house with me tomorrow?"

"Fourth brother, it's rare for you to go to your grandparent's house, so I won't bother you." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "However, I can go there for dinner at night."

The fourth prince smiled and said: "Okay, then you come over for dinner tonight."

"Fourth brother, are you going back to the palace tomorrow night?" Zhao Yao said, "I won't go back to the palace at night, I'm going to play outside the palace for two more days this time."

"I can stay overnight at my grandfather's house, and then enter the palace in the morning." The fourth prince said, "Since you are not going back to the palace tomorrow night, then stay overnight at my grandfather's house with me."

Zhao Yao's idea was exactly this: "Okay, okay, then I won't be polite." Then, he turned his head to look at Taichang Cheng and Shaofu Cheng, "You two cousins, then I'll talk to you tomorrow night. Just interrupt."

Tai Changcheng and Shaofu Cheng said: "His Royal Highness, it is our honor that you can come to our Li family as a guest."

Zhao Yao asked bluntly: "Both cousins, I want to eat well."

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely prepare something delicious for you."

"That's great." Zhao Yao said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was so happy, the corners of the fourth prince's mouth raised unconsciously.

Zhao Yao's grandfather is in Yangzhou, and he has never met his grandfather and grandmother so far.The fourth prince had long discovered that Zhao Yao was envious of his relationship with his two cousins.He wanted Zhao Yao to get in touch with his ancestral family more, so that he could feel the kinship with his ancestral family.

"I haven't been to Pushe's house yet." Zhao Yao said expectantly.

The Pu She he was talking about was the fourth prince's grandfather.Pu She is the title of the dean of Taixue.

Tai Changcheng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, you can often visit our house in the future."

The Shaofu Cheng echoed, "We will welcome you very much."

The fourth prince said: "I will take you there often in the future."

"Fourth brother, if you say that, I will not be polite, and I will really go to play often."

"His Royal Highness, you are welcome to come to our house often." After being in contact with Zhao Yao for a long time, Tai Chang Cheng and Shao Fu Cheng liked him more and more.

"Then I won't be polite." Zhao Yao thought in his heart that he would go to Li's house more in the future and build a good relationship with Li's family, so that he could borrow books in the future. "By the way, I haven't been to Taixue yet. Fourth brother, when you are free in the future, take me to Taixue to see." Taixue is full of talents, so he has to go there more often to find some talents for him to use.

"Okay, when I'm free, I'll take you to the Taixue." The fourth prince goes to the Taixue several times a year, and he likes the atmosphere of studying in the Taixue.In fact, he would rather study in Taixue than in Wende Palace.

"That's settled."

Speaking of Taixue, Taichangcheng and Shaofucheng told Zhao Yao a lot of interesting things in Taixue, and some talented students.

Zhao Yao listened very carefully.After listening to it, I want to go to Taixue to have a look.

After lunch, Zhao Yao didn't stay in Lanyuan Pavilion for long and went back to Kunde Hall.As soon as he returned to the Kunde Hall, he saw Poppy washing the hair of the fifth princess.

"Second Concubine, why do you wash your hair at noon?"

"The weather is a bit hot today. If you wash your hair at noon, it will dry quickly after drying it in the sun." While washing the hair of the fifth princess, Yu Meiren said to Zhao Yao, "Yaoyao, the second mother and concubine will wash it for you too." .”

"Second Concubine, in a while, I will go to the martial arts field to practice riding and shooting, so I won't wash it."

"Then I'll wash it for you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow I will go out of the palace to play after taking a rest."

The fifth princess heard that Zhao Yao was going out to play tomorrow, so she hurriedly said, "Tenth Brother, I will go out with you tomorrow."

Poppy pinched the fifth princess's back, "You just stay in the palace."

"Fifth sister, even if I am willing to take you out of the palace, the emperor will not agree with you." Compared with the fifth sister and the others, Zhao Yao thinks it is better to be a prince, at least the prince can go out of the palace when he is resting, but The princess can't. "Second Concubine, do you have anything you want me to bring to Fifth Sister's grandfather?"

"Yes, I've already packed it, and I'll trouble you to deliver it for me tomorrow." Yu Meiren's family members are all in the capital, but it's a pity that she hasn't seen her family members even once after being in the palace for so many years.

"I'll help you deliver your things as soon as I leave the palace tomorrow."

The fifth princess's tone was full of envy: "I also want to go out of the palace to my ancestor's house."

"Fifth Sister, then go and ask Father. As long as Father agrees, I will take you out of the palace."

"I dare not." Given the fifth princess a hundred courage, she would not dare to ask Emperor Wu of Zhou. "Tenth brother, please help me intercede with my father."

"I'm not going." Zhao Yao curled his lips and said, "I'm going to see my father. My father may play tricks to prevent me from leaving the palace and test my homework." Now that he has a token, if he wants to leave the palace, he can You don't need to tell the stinky father when you leave the palace. "Fifth sister, you should go by yourself."

The fifth princess snorted unhappily.

At this time, the poppies brought another basin of warm water sprinkled with petals and poured it gently on the fifth princess's head.

Wash your hair with petal water to make your hair scented.People in the palace wash their hair like this.

After Mei Yu helped Fifth Princess wrap her hair, she washed her face gently and meticulously.

Zhao Yao felt bored after watching it for a while, so he went to find Liang Zhaoyi.Tell her to go to Li's house tomorrow night and stay overnight at Li's house.

Liang Zhaoyi asked him to prepare some gifts before going to Li's house, and he couldn't come to visit with empty hands, otherwise it would be too rude.

"Forget it, I'll help you prepare it now, and you can take it to Li's house tomorrow."

"Mother, no need." Zhao Yao touched his nose and said, "If you prepare a gift, it will look too formal, which is not good."

"That's right, then you can buy some gifts yourself." Liang Zhaoyi knew that her son was leaving the palace this time because of Liang Run's upcoming trip to Wusun, so she urged, "Let your second uncle and the others prepare well before they leave."

"it is good."

Liang Zhaoyi reminded some more things, and Zhao Yao listened carefully.

In the yard, after Mei Yu washed the fifth princess's hair, she began to wash Pan Cairen's hair.Seeing this scene, a flash of light flashed in Zhao Yao's mind, and then he exclaimed in his heart: "Soap!"

He thought of what birthday present to give to his concubine mother.He can make soap for his concubine.

Soap can be used to wash face, hair, and bathe.

After leaving the palace tomorrow, I will finish it at the second uncle's house, and then bring it back to the palace and give it to my concubine mother. The concubine mother will be very happy.

Seeing Zhao Yao's excited face, Liang Zhaoyi asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

"Mother Concubine, I have an idea of ​​what birthday gift I will give you." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Just wait."

"Yes, then I'll wait."

"Concubine Mu, I'm sure you will be very pleasantly surprised." Wait, after he makes the soap, he can sell it for money.There is no soap in Dazhou, and it will be amazing when the soap is produced. This is a huge business. If the second uncle is allowed to do it, it will definitely attract attention at that time. This...

It doesn't matter, first make it and give it to the concubine mother, and then discuss with the concubine mother whether to use it to make money.

It seems that soap is not difficult to make. It can be made with lard, and of course it needs plant ash water.Tomorrow, let the second uncle prepare lard and plant ashes.

Fortunately, Zhao Yao in his dream read a lot and knew many things.

　There will be another one tonight.

　　It is said to be soap, but it is actually lard soap.There are tutorials online, it's easy to do, and it doesn't require any chemicals.If you are interested, you can go and have a look, so that one day you can travel to ancient times and make lard soap, then sell it for money, and become a billionaire.

　　Finally, ask for a monthly ticket! ! !
