19.Searching for Foreign Things

 The Third Prince and the others wanted to talk to the Emperor for a while longer, but they did not dare to keep the Emperor and could only reluctantly send him off.

  After the emperor left, Zhao Yao couldn't help but screamed: "The Analects of Confucius a hundred times..."

  The eighth prince raised his hand and patted Zhao Yao's shoulder gently, "Tenth brother, don't cry."

  The fourth prince also comforted Zhao Yao and said, "Tenth brother, my father is also doing this for your own good."

  "Is this what is good for me?" Zhao Yao was stunned, "Then can I not do this?"

  The fourth prince lowered his face and whispered softly. He reprimanded: "Tenth brother, you can't say such nonsense."

  The third prince and the others gloated, "Tenth brother, copy it well."

  Zhao Yao: "..." It's all the fault of seventh brother and ninth brother. . If they hadn't fought, he wouldn't have been punished with copying books.

  "Tenth brother, do you want to go to my place to copy books?" the eighth prince asked.

  "Bago, I'm not copying books now. I'm going to the martial arts field. I want to see Brother Seven and Brother Ninth being punished." Only by seeing the scene of Brother Seven and Brother Ninth being punished can the anger and resentment in his heart be reduced. "Bago, are you going?"

  "Then I'll go with you." The eighth prince also wanted to see how Qin Su trained the seventh and ninth princes.

  Zhao Yao and the eighth prince returned to the martial arts arena and saw the seventh prince and the ninth prince brandishing their guns. Next to them, a soldier was counting: "Five hundred and sixty-three... Your Highnesses, your speed has slowed down. Please speed up."

  The seventh prince and the ninth prince were so tired that they were sweating profusely and their faces were pale. , panting, looking like he's taking in more air than coming out.

  "Your Highnesses, your posture of wielding the gun is wrong, please swing the gun again."

  The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince wanted to reprimand the soldiers, but they were too tired to say a word.

  Zhao Yao felt much happier when he saw the seventh and ninth princes being tortured.

  "Hmph, I'll let you fight."

  The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Can we go back now?"

  "Okay." Zhao Yao's mood hit rock bottom again when he thought of having to copy "The Analects of Confucius" a hundred times.

  "Let's go." The eighth prince led Zhao Yao, who looked desperate, back to his Xingde Palace.

  "I'll copy it for you."

  "Really?" Zhao Yao asked with bright eyes.

  "I will imitate your handwriting and copy it for you, so that Father will not find out." The Eighth Prince said, "Although Father said that he would check it personally, Father is so busy that it is impossible to check them one by one."

  "But . , If Father finds out, Bage, you will be punished. "Father doesn't like Bage in the first place. If Father knows that Bage is copying for him, Father will have an excuse to punish Bage.

  "It's okay, my father will not be discovered." The Eighth Prince was very confident in his copying skills, "You copy a piece of content now, and I will imitate your handwriting."

  Zhao Yao hesitated for a moment, "Then Brother, I You're welcome."

  "Why are you being polite to me?"

  With the help of the Eighth Prince, Zhao Yao immediately felt much more at ease, and he copied down the "Xue Er Pian" honestly.

  The eighth prince imitated his imitation, and the handwriting was exactly the same as his. Zhao Yao was stunned after seeing it.

  "Bago, you are so awesome!" I didn't expect Bago to have this ability.

  "It's not that I'm great, but your handwriting is very easy to imitate now." The Eighth Prince looked at the crooked handwriting that Zhao Yao had just written, and couldn't bear to look at it, "Tenth brother, your handwriting needs to be practiced well."

  "Bag, I know my handwriting is ugly, it doesn't matter if you just say it." Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "I have only learned to write for a short time, and it is already very difficult to write the words completely, so don't expect me to write well."

  "You. You still have to practice calligraphy on weekdays." The eighth prince said, "Continue copying."

  Zhao Yao did not return to Kunde Hall until he copied. As soon as he got home, he complained to Liang Zhaoyi and others.

  "Father will always bully me..." Even if his youngest son is not favored, he is often bullied by his father. It is really difficult for him.

  With the comfort of Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren, Zhao Yao's hurt heart felt better. Then, fed by the fifth princess's dessert, she became lively.

  There was still some time before dinner, so Zhao Yao took Tongxi to the secret base.

  In the secret base, cats and dogs are practicing diligently. When they saw Zhao Yao coming, they all waggled their tails happily and surrounded him.

  Lailu and Laiwang couldn't wait to report the results of their training to Zhao Yao. After Zhao Yao heard this, he praised them hard and rewarded them for eating meat and bones tonight.

  Zhao Yao sat among the cats and dogs, petting the cats and dogs while talking to them.   

  [Yaoyao, why don't you train us? ] Lai Qian brought a bunch of his brothers to Zhao Yao to ask for justice, [Aren't we sparrows your good brothers? ]

  "Of course you are all my good friends."

  [Then why don't you train us? ] Lai Qian flew to Zhao Yao's shoulder and pecked Zhao Yao's face in dissatisfaction.

  "You can fly and deliver messages, so you don't need to be trained anymore." Zhao Yao said, and suddenly thought of his grandfather being transferred to Guangling County in Yangzhou to take up a post, and hurriedly asked Lai Qian, "Lai Qian, do you have brothers from Yangzhou?"

  [Yangzhou? ] Lai Qian shook his fluffy little head and said, [No, my brothers are all from the capital. ]

  "Then do you know any birds from Yangzhou?"

  [Yaoyao, Yangzhou is in the south, far away from the capital, why are you asking about the birds in Yangzhou? ]

  "My grandfather has been transferred to Guangling County, Yangzhou. There is still a war in Yangzhou. I am worried about my grandfather. I want to know the situation in Yangzhou, so I asked you if you have any friends in Yangzhou." There is a rebellion in Yangzhou, which has not been pacified yet. My grandfather was transferred to Yangzhou at this time. It is really worrying.

  [I don't have any friends in Yangzhou, but I can ask for you. ]

  "Lai Qian, can you fly to Yangzhou?" Zhao Yao asked.

  [Of course you can fly, we sparrows can go anywhere] Lai Qian said proudly with his chest puffed out.

  Zhao Yao heard this, his eyes instantly became shiny, "Lai Qian, then can you fly to Yangzhou?"

  [Of course you can...] At this point, Lai Qian suddenly paused, and then asked in surprise, [Yaoyao, do you want me to go to Yangzhou? ]

  Zhao Yao nodded vigorously: "Well, I want you to go to Yangzhou to help me see my grandfather, and then help me find out the situation in Yangzhou." Lai

  Qian was in a dilemma: [Yaoyao, I have never been to Yangzhou. ]

  "That's right." Zhao Yao had a troubled look on his face, "What should I do?"

  [Yaoyao, let me ask for you first, to see if there are any birds that have been to Yangzhou.] Lai Qian said, [If not, then I will personally take a group of brothers to fly to Yangzhou.]

  Zhao Yao said happily: "Thank you, Lai Qian." After saying that, he kissed Lai Qian's little head hard, "Lai Qian, you are the best." Lai Qian

  happily rubbed Zhao Yao's little face.

  Zhao Yao stayed in the secret base for a while and then returned to Kunde Hall. Before leaving, he asked Lai Lu and the others not to train anymore and to have a good rest tonight.

  Back at Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi had dinner together.

  After dinner, Zhao Yao went to the study and continued to copy the "Analects of Confucius". Liang Zhaoyi sat beside him and read.

  After copying the "Analects of Confucius" for a while, Zhao Yao put down the brush in his hand, picked up the goose feather brush placed aside, and began to draw on the blank rice paper.

  Seeing that her son had drawn something he had never seen before, Liang Zhaoyi asked curiously, "Yao'er, what did you draw?"

  "Mother, this is a strawberry, a very delicious fruit..." Zhao Yao pointed at the strawberry he had just drawn and introduced it to Liang Zhaoyi in great detail.

  After listening to it, Liang Zhaoyi knew that this strawberry was something from Zhao Yao's dream.

  "Strawberries seem to be foreign fruits. I drew it and sent it to my uncle, and asked him to ask those foreigners in Qingzhou. Maybe he can find it."

  "That's a good idea." Liang Zhaoyi saw that Zhao Yao had drawn another thing he had never seen before, which looked a bit like an egg. "What is this?"

  "Potatoes, this thing is amazing, it can be eaten as a meal, and it can also be eaten as a vegetable..." Zhao Yao introduced potatoes to Liang Zhaoyi in great detail.

  After hearing this, Liang Zhaoyi was very shocked and asked hurriedly, "Can this potato really satisfy hunger?"

  "Yes, Zhao Yao in the dream likes to eat it very much."

  "Can it really produce a lot?" Liang Zhaoyi asked in surprise, "Can it grow in sand?"

  "Yes, but it is also a foreign thing, I don't know if it can be found." Zhao Yao said, "I will draw it for my uncle first, and then ask my uncle to find foreigners to help find it."

  Liang Zhaoyi was shocked and said seriously, "This potato must be found." If it is really as Yaoer said, if this potato is found, the people will be able to have enough food. "What else?"

  "There are also corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkins..." Zhao Yao drew all the foreign things in his dream and prepared to send them to his uncle who was far away in Qingzhou, asking him to ask foreigners to find them.

  These foreign things are probably not easy to find, and it will probably take a long time to find them. Now let my uncle ask someone to find it in advance, maybe when he grows up, he will find it, and then he can take it to his own fiefdom.
