"Making lard soap is a good idea, Second Uncle, make sure to do it well."
"Yao Yao, you’re not going back with ?" Liang Run looked surprised, "Aren’t you coming back to make lard soap with ?"
"No, I want to find that uncle and continue learning military strategy from him." Zhao Yao said he would play outside the palace for a few more days, but in reality, he didn’t dare. He bet that if he stayed outside for three days without returning, his stubborn father would definitely send soone to bring him back. "He told yesterday he would arrange soone to help , I need to ask about it."
"Then Uncle Zhang and I will make lard soap at ho."
"Second Uncle, I’ll find you in the evening, then we’ll call Ding Yuan and the others, and we’ll go to the bathhouse together." Bathing in the bathhouse was a lot of fun, you could et many interesting people and hear a lot of interesting and useful things.
"Yao Yao, you are a prince." Liang Run reminded Zhao Yao sowhat helplessly, "As a prince, how can you go to the bathhouse to bathe?"
"Second Uncle, just because I’m a prince, why can’t I go to the bathhouse?" Zhao Yao gave Liang Run a sideways glance, "Second Uncle, I didn’t put on any airs, but why are you doing it for ? Besides, I don’t think being a prince makes any nobler than others."
"Yao Yao, as a prince, your status is naturally more noble than others." Liang Run sotis found that his nephew never regarded himself as a prince, and didn’t feel that his princely status was so prestigious. "Yao Yao, you need to be more self-aware."
"What’s there to be aware of?" Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "I think it’s fine the way it is."
Liang Run spoke with helplessness and fondness: "You..."
"Second Uncle, since I’m outside the palace now, let’s not talk about status." Zhao Yao thought of his four little brothers, "By the way, Second Uncle, cook so good dishes tonight and invite my four little brothers for dinner. After dinner, we’ll bathe together."
"Alright, I’ll show off my skills tonight."
Liang Run sent Zhao Yao to the house at the junction of East Market and West Market, "No matter how many tis I co to this house, it always feels eerie, giving goosebumps, yet you’re not scared at all."
"What’s there to be scared of?" Zhao Yao said, "Uncle is a good person." With that, he knocked on the door.
A mont later, the butler opened the main gate of the house. He didn’t speak, just nodded slightly towards Zhao Yao, then gestured for him to enter.
Zhao Yao turned to Liang Run and said, "Second Uncle, co over at the end of the Shen hour."
"Alright." After Zhao Yao entered the house, Liang Run then turned and left.
"Uncle, I’m here, and I brought you so delicious Gusu pastries." Zhao Yao’s voice arrived before he entered the courtyard.
Hearing Zhao Yao’s lively voice, He Lianfang couldn’t help but smile with amusent in his eyes.
"Uncle, just one day apart feels like three autumns. Did you miss ?" Zhao Yao said with a grin, "I didn’t see you all last night, I missed you terribly."
"Smooth talker." He Lianfang’s tone carried an indulgence he was unaware of.
"Uncle, this is what you call sweet talk."
He Lianfang sighed inwardly: This cheeky deanor is really like Zhao Zheng.
Under Zhao Yao’s enthusiastic recomndation, He Lianfang sampled the Gusu pastries he brought, and they were indeed quite delicious.
After finishing the pastries, He Lianfang began to engage in a sand table battle with Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao loved simulating battles on the sand table, finding it quite fun while learning a lot about military strategy.
While teaching Zhao Yao, He Lianfang was amazed by Zhao Yao’s talent.
Zhao Yao’s talent in leading troops and fighting surpassed Prince Yi Yong and even surpassed the Emperor.
Ignoring Zhao Yao’s status, He Lianfang felt he had gained an excellent disciple.
In the palace, the Eighth Prince, after finishing his studies, did not hurry back to Xingde Palace but went to find the Fourth Prince at Lanyuan Pavilion.
The Fourth Prince, upon knowing the Eighth Prince sought him out, instinctively felt it was not good news.
The Eighth Prince and the Fourth Prince never saw eye to eye, rarely speaking to each other usually. If not for Zhao Yao, they might have...
"You took the Tenth Brother to the Li Family?" The Eighth Prince inquired icily as he saw the Fourth Prince, with a sharp, unfriendly gaze.
The Fourth Prince replied with a cold face, "None of your concern."
"You told to stay away from the Tenth Brother, and you?" The Eighth Prince’s voice was chilling, "You’re the one who would bring danger to the Tenth Brother!"
The Fourth Prince stared coldly at the Eighth Prince, "I am not you."
"If you bring danger to the Tenth Brother, I won’t spare you!" The Eighth Prince threatened.
The Fourth Prince retorted with a grim face, "I won’t spare you either!" If the Eighth Prince endangered Zhao Yao, the Fourth Prince wouldn’t spare him either.
The Eighth Prince threw a frosty glance at the Fourth Prince and then turned and left harshly.
The Fourth Prince watched the Eighth Prince’s departing figure, squinting slightly, a hint of cold fierceness crossing his eyes.
"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is going too far, coming here to reprimand you!" Wei Mian also disliked the Eighth Prince, always feeling he was like a snake, cold and dangerous.
The Fourth Prince said expressionlessly, "Ignore him!"
"Your Highness, we must stop the Tenth Prince from associating with the Fourth Prince," Yu Hai said, "or the Fourth Prince will harm the Tenth Prince sooner or later."
The Eighth Prince, sporting a handso yet stern face, said, "Do you think I don’t want to keep the Tenth Brother away from him?" As he spoke, his brow furrowed deeply, "I don’t know what kind of sedative he gave the Tenth Brother to make him so fond of him."
"The Fourth Prince is icy cold; I really don’t know what the Tenth Prince sees in him." Yu Hai really disliked the cold, aloof Fourth Prince.
"If it weren’t for the Tenth Brother, I’d have long since..." Among the princes, the Eighth Prince detested not the Prince Dai or the Third Prince and others, but the Fourth Prince.
The Eighth Prince knew well that whether it was the Crown Prince, Prince Dai, or the Third Prince and others, they were not his match. His real opponent was the Fourth Prince, even though they had not done anything yet.
