On the way back to Kunde Hall, Tongxi told Zhao Yao about the marriage granted by Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty. After hearing this, Zhao Yao had an incredible expression: "Is it true or not?"

"The emperor personally bestowed the marriage." Tongxi said, "How dare I say such nonsense?"

Zhao Yao was shocked and said: "That is Kong Taichang, not someone else!" Does the father really want to depose the prince's brother and establish the acting king as the prince?

"The whole palace is talking about this now!" Tong Xi said, looking around warily, and lowering his voice, "Everyone is saying that the emperor finally couldn't help but want to depose His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness, does the Emperor really want to depose His Highness the Crown Prince?"

After Zhao Yao was surprised, his expression became calm: "Do you think the prince can be deposed by his father if he wants to?"

"But didn't the emperor grant Kong Taichang's youngest daughter a marriage to His Highness the Prince?" Despite Tongxi's usual dull look, he is actually very smart. "With the support of the Kong family, the Prince is even more powerful.

How can His Highness compete with King Dai!" That is the Confucius family that is highly respected by scholars all over the world. Being married to the Confucius family is equivalent to having the support of most of the scholars in the world.

"Even with the support of the Kong family, my father cannot immediately depose his elder brother, who is the eldest son, the crown prince, and establish his second brother, who is the concubine, as the crown prince." Zhao Yao crossed his hands on the back of his head and walked lazily, "Establish him as the legitimate eldest son."

Long, but this is a rule set by the Kong family themselves. If Kong Taichang supported his second brother to become the prince, he would be violating the ancestral precepts."

Tong Xi felt that what Zhao Yao said was very reasonable, "So, Kong Taichang will not support the acting king?"

"Once his youngest daughter marries his second brother, it's not him who has the final say whether he supports it or not." Zhao Yao said, "The person who hurts the most at this time is not the prince brother, but Kong Taichang. I guess he is thinking about how to refuse this marriage now.

.”

Tongxi was surprised and said: "How can you refuse the marriage granted by the emperor? Isn't this rebellion?"

Zhao Yao: "Just wait and see, this matter won't go so smoothly." This marriage may even cause a bloody storm. Why did the father grant the marriage if he knew the impact of this marriage?

Is your father afraid that the world will not be in chaos?

The emperor's heart is as deep as a needle in the sea.

"It has nothing to do with us whether it goes well or not. Don't worry, Your Highness."

"What am I worried about?" Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I am just thinking about eating more delicious food at the celebration banquet tomorrow night."

"Your Highness, you really don't plan to eat more at noon?" Tongxi said with some worry, "You will follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of the city in the afternoon to meet His Highness the King. I don't know when you will be able to return to the palace. You will be hungry by then.

Yes, what should I do?”

"I'm not a fool, how could I go there hungry to greet you?" As he said that, Zhao Yao became hungry, and he hurriedly quickened his pace, "Hurry back."

"Your Highness, please slow down and be careful of falling." Tong Xi hurriedly chased after him.

After a while, they arrived at Kunde Hall, where Lai Cai and the others squatted at the door to greet Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao first hugged them, and then kissed them.

"Tenth brother, why are you back so early?" It was not yet noon. In the past, Zhao Yao would leave school at noon. The fifth princess suddenly thought of something, pointed at Zhao Yao and exclaimed, "You don't know how to steal.

Did you sneak back?"

Zhao Yao gave the fifth princess a roll of his eyes. He said angrily: "Fifth sister, when did I sneak back early?" He wanted to leave early, but unfortunately he didn't have the courage.

"Then you must be pretending to be sick or in pain and come back early." The fifth princess said this with certainty.

Zhao Yao pretended to be hurt and sad, "Fifth sister, how can you miss me so much? I am a good student." Although he doesn't like reading and is often distracted during class, he goes to study every day.

I have never been late or left early, nor have I been absent from class.

The fifth princess was deceived by Zhao Yao's acting skills and apologized quickly: "Tenth brother, I was joking with you."

Zhao Yao snorted angrily and was too lazy to pay attention to the five princesses, so they walked forward with the money.

The fifth princess thought that Zhao Yao was really angry, so she hurriedly chased her to apologize, and promised to make Zhao Yao his favorite snack. Zhao Yao then forgave her and was not angry with her anymore.

Tongxi, who witnessed everything, silently sympathized with the fifth princess: His Highness had clearly lied to the fifth princess just now in order to make the fifth princess willingly make snacks for him. Unexpectedly, the fifth princess did not notice and foolishly went to His Highness's house.

when.

The fifth princess relied on her being her elder sister and thought she was smarter than His Highness. In fact, the fifth princess was deceived by His Highness every time.

When Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren saw that Zhao Yao had come back three minutes earlier than usual, they were first very surprised, and then they worried that he was not feeling well.

Zhao Yao told Liang Zhaoyi and the others the reason for leaving school early today, "Concubine, let's have lunch later. We will go to the prince brother later and go out with him to pick up the second brother."

Liang Zhaoyi nodded and asked Guixing to tell the kitchenette to move faster.

The Kunde Palace has its own small kitchen, and Zhao Yao and the others cook three meals a day in the small kitchen. Logically speaking, Liang Zhaoyi cannot have her own small kitchen due to her status. Only concubines above the concubine are eligible to have one.

A small kitchen of their own. Due to the remote location of Kunde Hall, it is not very convenient to go to the imperial dining room to get food. The most important thing is that the food brought back will be cold. It’s okay for Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren to eat it, but it’s okay for Zhao Yao to eat it.

It is easy to have a bad stomach. When Zhao Yao was very young, he often had a bad stomach. After Emperor Zhou Wu learned about the reason for his bad stomach, he made an exception and allowed Liang Zhaoyi to have his own small kitchen.

"The King's return to the capital this time is truly a sight to behold. Not only did the prince bring his ministers to greet him, but the emperor also gave him such a good marriage." Beauty Yu sighed, "It is truly a sight to behold."

Pan Cairen said: "It must be very lively when the king comes back in the afternoon."

Liang Zhaoyi did not answer what Poppy and the others said, but repeatedly told Zhao Yao: "When you go outside the capital, you must follow the eighth prince or the fourth prince honestly. You can't go anywhere, let alone run around casually. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will stay close to Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother and won't go anywhere." Zhao Yao said again, "I will do whatever Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother do. I will never talk too much." This time.

He went outside the capital to pick up his second brother, not to go out for fun. How could he forget everything and run around.

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Zhaoyi felt relieved and didn't say anything more.

After a while, Guixing walked in, informed that lunch was ready, and asked if the meal would be served now.

Liang Zhaoyi said: Let’s prepare the meal now.

Zhao Yao hurriedly finished his lunch, then changed into a suit of brocade clothes, and went to the East Palace. When he arrived, the third prince and the fourth prince had already arrived. However, the seventh prince and the ninth prince had not arrived yet.

After a while, the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince arrived. The two met on the way, and naturally they had a heated exchange of words. Looking at the Ninth Prince's proud look, one knew that he had just won the argument against the Seventh Prince.

When the prince saw that his brothers had all arrived, he took them out of the palace.

When we arrived at the gate of the palace, we found many guards guarding the palace. Some of them were holding horses.

The prince took the lead and got on the horse, followed by the third prince and others one after another.

The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince asked Zhao Yao to be among them. If anything unexpected happened, the two of them could protect him.

The prince took the lead and rode in front. The ninth prince followed the prince because he was the younger brother of the acting king, and rode in front of the third prince and others.

Riding his horse to the main road in the capital, Zhao Yao was surprised to see many people crowding both sides of the road.

"Why are there so many people?" Are these common people here to welcome King Dai back to the capital?

The Eighth Prince looked at the people on both sides of the road and sneered in his heart: Marquis Xuanping was really good at letting the people spontaneously welcome the King's triumphant return.

The fourth prince said expressionlessly: "Don't worry about them."

When the common people saw the prince, they knelt on the ground and saluted, shouting loudly, "His Royal Highness the prince may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

The prince wore a kind and warm smile as usual, waving to the people on both sides of the road from time to time.

Although it was just a wave, it made the people very excited.
