The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

In the afternoon, Zhao Yang took Chu Yue to the Sun Bookstore, waiting for Cao Xu and Su Shi.

Zhao Yang didn't go to the backyard, but directly waited for Su Zhe and the others in the reading room while reading.

Chu Yue, a military general, originally disliked reading the least, but after being asked to read by Zhao Yang, he would find time to read and study every day.At this moment, he was sitting opposite Zhao Yang, watching the art of war seriously.

Shen Kuo took the entrance examination for Taixue yesterday, and couldn't wait to come to Sun Bookstore to read books today.

The clerk of Sun Bookstore was very impressed with Shen Kuo. He recognized him as soon as he came, and asked him how he was doing in the entrance exam of Taixue with concern.

Shen Kuo still had confidence in himself and felt that he could pass the exam, but he couldn't say that to the buddy, otherwise he would appear too conceited.He said humbly that he had tried his best, but he didn't know if he could pass the exam.

Seeing Shen Kuo's relaxed expression, the man knew that he must have done well in the exam, so he congratulated him and said, "With your talent, Mr. Shen, you will definitely be able to pass the exam. I'm here to congratulate you first."

Shen Kuo hurriedly returned the salute, and said humbly, "Not necessarily, not necessarily."

"Mr. Shen, our bookstore has launched a new magazine called "Great Song Engineering", which publishes crafts from ancient times to the present. If you are interested, you can take a look." Of course, the buddy is not just recommending new ones to Shen Kuo. Magazine "Da Song Engineering".Everyone who comes here will recommend it again.

When Shen Kuo heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "Then I want to take a look."

Seeing that Shen Kuo was interested, the man was overjoyed, and quickly said, "Wait a minute, I'll bring you the small one."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Shen Kuo prefers books about crafts to books like Classics and History.

The clerk quickly brought Shen Kuo a copy of "The Beginning of the Song Dynasty", and introduced it to Shen Kuo in detail: "Mr. Shen, this is the first issue of "The Beginning of the Song Dynasty", which mainly talks about the development history of plow tools. Of course, the focus is on Prince Li, so you can take a good look."

"Thank you, I will take a good look at it." After Shen Kuo finished speaking, he asked curiously, "The content of each issue is different, right?"

"Of course." The man hurriedly added, "Mr. Shen, "Great Song Engineering" is released every two weeks, and the next issue will be released in ten days. If you want to buy it, don't forget the date."

"I wrote it down, thank you for reminding me." Shen Kuo thanked, "I'm going to the reading room first."

"Look slowly."

Shen Kuo took "Great Song Engineering" to the reading room next door, and the room was full of people who came to read the book.

Scanning the room, Shen Kuo found that there were no seats, so Shen Kuo was going to find a corner to sit down and read a book.

When he walked to the corner, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.He thought he had misjudged the person, so he stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that he had not misjudged the person, so he exclaimed happily: "Fuhui!"

Zhao Yang was concentrating on reading, when he suddenly heard someone calling "Fu Hui", thinking that Su Shi and the others were coming, he looked up and found that it was not Su Zhe and the others, but Shen Kuo who hadn't seen him for a long time, which surprised him very much.

"Shen Kuo!"

"Yes, it's me." Seeing that Zhao Yang was in a daze just now, Shen Kuo thought that Zhao Yang didn't know him, and when he was about to say who he was, he didn't expect Zhao Yang to remember him, which made him very happy.

Zhao Yang stood up and said with a pleasant face, "You have come to Bianjing." Before Shen Kuo left, he went to Xiangguo Temple to look for Zhao Yang, but at that time Zhao Yang had already returned to the palace, so he invited Xiangguo The monks in the temple helped him out.

"Yes, I have come to Bianjing." Shen Kuo said with a smile, "I went to Xiangguo Temple to look for you before, but you were not in Xiangguo Temple. I didn't expect to meet you at Sun Bookstore."

"This shows that we are destined." Zhao Yang did not expect to see Shen Kuo again.He thought that Shen Kuo would not come to Bianjing again for the time being when he left Bianjing last time, but he did not expect to see Shen Kuo in Bianjing again after a few months.

At this moment, seeing that other people were looking at them, Zhao Yang realized that this was not the place for them to talk, so he whispered to Shen Kuo, "Let's go to the backyard and talk."

Shen Kuo also noticed that everyone in the reading room was looking at them, and felt that they were a little rude just now.

"it is good."

Immediately, Zhao Yang took Shen Kuo to the backyard of Sun Bookstore.

Shen Kuo knew what the backyard of the Sun Bookstore was doing, but he was not a member and was not eligible to enter.It was the first time I entered the backyard today, and I was shocked by the elegant environment of the backyard.

Zhao Yang asked Shen Kuo not to be restrained, but to sit casually.

After a while, a guy brought tea, fruit, and snacks.

"Fuhui, you are actually a member of Sun Bookstore." Shen Kuo was shocked, "I heard that it is very difficult to get a member of Sun Bookstore, you..."

Zhao Yang waved his hand: "I'm not a member. I just started studying at such a young age. How could I pass the Sun Bookstore's membership assessment."

This is where Shen Kuo was puzzled.Shen Kuo had read the questions of Sun Bookstore's membership assessment before. Of course, he read the expired membership assessment questions, but it was also very difficult.

"then you……"

"This is a bookstore opened by a relative of my family. I only came in after taking advantage of my relative." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he changed the subject and asked, "Why did you come to Bianjing again?"

"I came to Bianjing to take the entrance exam for Taixue, and I just finished the exam yesterday."

"Are you here to take the entrance examination for Taixue?" Zhao Yang looked surprised, "Why didn't I hear you before?"

"I also suddenly decided to take the imperial examination." Shen Kuo smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't plan to take the imperial examination."

"Then why do you want to take the imperial examination all of a sudden?" The last time I met Shen Kuo, I just said a few words in a hurry, and didn't have a deep friendship.However, it was an unexpected surprise for Zhao Yang to meet Shen Kuo again.

"Because of the Sun Bookstore." After finishing speaking, Shen Kuo's face blushed involuntarily.

"Ah?" Zhao Yang was stunned by Shen Kuo's answer, "Because of the Sun Bookstore?"

"I came to Sun Bookstore to read books before, and I was shocked by the books in Sun Bookstore..." Shen Kuo felt that his reason for taking the imperial examination was a bit embarrassing, but he still told Zhao Yang.When he finished speaking, his whole face flushed red.

Zhao Yang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he came back to his senses after a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, your reason for taking the imperial examination is very strong."

"Ah?" Shen Kuo thought Zhao Yang would laugh at him, but he didn't expect Zhao Yang to praise him.

"Brother Shen, you are very discerning." Zhao Yang said with a smile, "There are many books in Sun Bookstore that are not available outside."

Shen Kuo was amused by Zhao Yang's words: "I thought you would laugh at me."

"I'm joking about what you are doing. Many literati like Sun Bookstore." Zhao Yang said proudly, "It's not surprising that you came to take the Taixue exam at Sun Bookstore."

Hearing what Zhao Yang said, Shen Kuo felt relieved.

"There are indeed many books in Sun Bookstore that I haven't read."

"Then you can read it slowly." Zhao Yang recommended to Shen Kuo, "The newspapers and magazines published by Sun Bookstore have different contents in each issue, and you can't read them all."

"Fuhui, your relatives are amazing. It's the first time I've seen such a bookstore."

"That's right, Bianjing is the only one in Song Dynasty that has Sun Bookstore." Next, like a salesman, Zhao Yang strongly recommended the books in Sun Bookstore.

Shen Kuo had listened to a buddy's recommendation before, and he didn't bother to listen to Zhao Yang's recommendation again, and he listened very seriously.

"Brother Shen, how did you do in the Taixue entrance exam?" Zhao Yang felt that he had asked an idiotic question, "Brother Shen, with your talent, you will definitely be admitted to Taixue."

"I think I did well in the exam, but I don't know if I can pass the exam." Shen Kuo said this very modestly.

"You will definitely pass the exam." Zhao Yang introduced Taixue to Shen Kuo again.

Shen Kuo didn't know much about Taixue.The purpose of his imperial examination is entirely to stay in Bianjing.However, after listening to Zhao Yang's introduction, he found that Taixue was a little different from what he had imagined, not as bad as he imagined.

"By the way, I still have two friends in Taixue, one is Su Shi and the other is Su Zhe." Zhao Yang said, "They will come to Sun Bookstore later and introduce you to each other. Mutual support."

"Really?" Shen Kuo didn't intend to stay in Bianjing alone.If you can make friends, that is of course the best.If Fu Hui is so good, then his friends should also be good.

"Really, the two brothers are also very talented." Next, Zhao Yang gave Su Shi and Su Zhe a rainbow fart.

When Shen Kuo heard this, he became more and more interested in Su Shi and his brothers.

Chu Yue sat aside, eating snacks silently, listening to Zhao Yang and Shen Kuo chatting.

Don't look at Shen Kuo who is usually restrained and talkative, but he talks a lot with people he knows well.If people who are familiar with Shen Kuo see him chatting so happily with a child, their jaws will drop in shock.

Shen Kuo had been in Bianjing for a while, and this was the first time he had such a good time chatting with others.

Zhao Yang learned that Shen Kuo was interested in astronomical phenomena, and told him that "Da Song Engineering" would publish content about astronomical phenomena.

Shen Kuo was very happy when he heard this, and said that he would definitely wait.

At this moment, Cao Xu came with Su Shi and Su Zhe.

Su Shi and Su Zhe were very happy to see Zhao Yang, so they pulled Zhao Yang and told him about meeting Ouyang Xiu today.As for Shen Kuo, they haven't seen it yet.

Standing aside, Shen Kuo widened his eyes in shock when he heard Su Shi and the others say they had met Ouyang Xiu.

Seeing that Su Zhe and the others were talking vigorously, Zhao Yang was embarrassed to interrupt them, so he could only let them speak first.After Su Zhe and the others finished speaking, two quarters of an hour passed.At this time, Su Shi and the others found a stranger they had never seen before.

"Ashi, let me introduce to you. This is Shen Kuo, from Qiantang County, Hangzhou. He just took the entrance examination for Taixue yesterday." Zhao Yang introduced to Shen Kuo again, "Brother Shen, this is the person I just mentioned to you. The two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe who used to be."

Under Zhao Yang's introduction, Shen Kuo met Su Shi and his brothers.

Su Shi and the others saw that Shen Kuo was Zhao Yang's friend, and saw that he was handsome and talented, so they had a very good impression of him.

After a while, Shen Kuo became familiar with Su Shi and the others.

Su Zhe and the others told Zhao Yang about Ouyang Xiu again: "Fuhui, you are Mr. Ouyang's student, why haven't you heard about it?"

Zhao Yang looked innocent: "Didn't I say that?"

Su Zhe nodded vigorously: "You never said it, you never said it."

"I thought I told you guys." Zhao Yang blinked, and then said with a pure face, "So I didn't tell you, but you know now."

"Fuhui, are you a student of Mr. Ouyang?" Shen Kuo was stunned.

"Yes, Mr. Ouyang taught me The Book of Songs." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he looked at Su Shi and Su Zhe teasingly, and suddenly laughed maliciously, "A Shi, A Zhe, you are now Mr. Ouyang student, then I am your senior brother."

Ouyang Xiu met Su Shi and his brothers today and liked them very much, so he asked them if they would like to be his students. Su Shi and his brothers were naturally very happy, and they immediately worshiped Ouyang Xiu as their teachers.

Seeing that Zhao Yang smiled as cunningly as a little fox, Su Shi and Su Zhe couldn't help laughing.

"Come and call me Senior Brother." Zhao Yang shook his head and smiled.

Su Shi and Su Zhe looked at each other, and then they stood up, and bowed to Zhao Yang in a polite manner: "I have seen you, brother."

Zhao Yang didn't expect Su Shi and the others to really salute him, so he was shocked, and hurriedly stood up to help them.

"I was joking with you, you really saluted me."

"You are our senior brother, we should salute you." Su Shi shouted deliberately, "Senior brother~~~"

Su Zhe also called out: "Brother!"

Zhao Yang was very embarrassed to be called by them, coughed lightly and said: "I heard you call me senior brother, why do I feel so terrified, you should call me Fuhui."

"Hahahahaha..." Su Shi and the others laughed.

Only at this time did Zhao Yang realize that Su Zhe and the others were teasing him, and glared at them angrily.

"By the way, Big Brother Shen is going to study in the Taixue, so please tell him well."

"Okay." Su Shi and Su Zhe told Shen Kuo about the situation of studying in Taixue in detail.

"By the way, there is another empty room in the courtyard where we live. Brother Shen, you can live with us."

"Is this okay?" Compared to other people he didn't know, Shen Kuo would certainly like to live with Su Shi and the others.

"Of course, just tell Mr.

"Then trouble you."

"Brother Shen, you are polite, we are friends, and it is right to help each other."

Zhao Yang sat at the side, drinking tea and listening to Su Che and the others tell Shen Kuo about the Taixue.As he listened, he suddenly thought of one thing. Shen Kuo in history didn't seem to like Su Shi.To be precise, it seems that many people don't like Su Shi.

History is history and now is now.

Now that Shen Kuo and Su Shi have become friends, they shouldn't hate Su Shi as much as they did in history.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Xu reminded Zhao Yang, "Third brother, it's getting late, we should go back."

Zhao Yang really wanted to stay and have dinner with Su Shi and the others, but he had to go to court tomorrow and had to go back early in the evening.

"Brother Shen, A Shi, A Zhe, I have to go back."

"Fuhui, didn't you say you wanted to go to Zhouqiao Night Market with us to eat something good?"

"A Zhe, I'm sorry, I have something to do at home, so I can't go home too late." Zhao Yang said apologetically, "I'll come to you again when I'm free, and I'll have a long talk with you all night."

"Fuhui, then go back."

"Then I'll go back first." Zhao Yang looked at Shen Kuo, "Brother Shen, if you don't understand anything, or need help, you can ask Ashi and the others."

Su Shi said: "Brother Shen, just come to us." Shen Kuo is six years older than Su Shi, and there is nothing wrong with Su Shi calling him "Big Brother". "Fuhui, we will take good care of Brother Shen, don't worry."

"Then I'm relieved." Zhao Yang said to Shen Kuo again, "Brother Shen, I'm very busy these days, and I don't have time to visit you. When I'm free, I'll go directly to Taixue to find you."

"Fuhui, you don't have to worry about me." Shen Kuo probably guessed that Zhao Yang's identity is not simple.

"I'm leaving."

Shen Kuo and Su Shi sent Zhao Yang to the side entrance of Sun Bookstore and sent him to the bullock cart.

Before Zhao Yang left, he asked Su Shi and the others to return to Taixue after dinner at Sun Bookstore.

Naturally, Su Shi and the others would not reject Zhao Yang's kindness, and stayed with Shen Kuo in the backyard of Sun Bookstore.

On the bullock cart, Cao Xu curiously asked Shen Kuo about it.

Zhao Yang told Cao Xu about his acquaintance with Shen Kuo.

Cao Xu didn't see anything special about Shen Kuo, and didn't understand why Zhao Yang took care of Shen Kuo so much.

Zhao Yang told Cao Xu not to judge people by their appearance, saying that Shen Kuo was very talented and would definitely be extraordinary.

Cao Xu is still convinced by Zhao Yang's gaze.

"Tell me about the meeting between Ah Shi and Mr. Ouyang."

"Mr. Ouyang tested Su Shi as soon as they saw them." Cao Xu said, "Su Shi and the others were very nervous at first, and stuttered when answering questions, but they stopped stuttering soon."

"What do you test them for?"

"What else can be tested, the Four Books and Five Classics." Cao Xu pouted and said, "I was dizzy just listening to the questions, but Su Shi and the others got all the answers right."

"With their talents, if they can't even answer the questions of the Four Books and Five Classics correctly, then it's over." Zhao Yang was full of confidence in Su Shi and the others, "It would be in vain for me to recommend them to Mr. Ouyang."

"That's true. Later, Mr. Ouyang read their articles and poems again, and he was full of praise for their articles." Cao Xu didn't write down the articles written by Su Shi and the others, "Anyway, Mr. Ouyang liked them very much, and then asked them if they would like to If you are willing to be his student, Su Shi and the others immediately agreed."

"I didn't expect that I would form a relationship between master and apprentice."

Cao Xu said: "I think Mr. Ouyang accepted Su Shi and the others as students because of your face."

"If Su Shi and the others had no talent and did not impress Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Ouyang would never accept them as students for my sake." Speaking of students, Zhao Yang remembered that Zeng Gong seemed to be a student of Ouyang Xiu.When you are free, introduce Shen Kuo to Ouyang Xiu.Also as a friend, you can't favor one person over another.

During this period of time, Song Renzong's body has recovered better because of his meditation and recuperation, and he is not as often lethargic as before.Now he spends more and more awake time and less and less sleepy time.

Zhao Yang would visit Song Renzong every day when he was in court, and tell him what happened when he was in court.

Because there are no big things in the court, they are all small things, and Song Renzong will not be bothered when he hears them.

Every time after listening to Zhao Yang talking about the affairs of the court, Song Renzong would teach him how to deal with these trivial matters.In fact, without Song Renzong telling, Yan Shu and the others had already told Zhao Yang.

On this day, after the court, Zhao Yang went to visit Song Renzong first.

Chen Meiren is playing the piano for Song Renzong, and Song Renzong is fascinated by it.

Among other things, Chen Meiren's piano skills are very superb. After listening to her piano sound, I feel calm.

Seeing Zhao Yang coming, Chen Meiren immediately got up and saluted him: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhao Yang nodded slightly to her, and then bowed to Song Renzong: "I have seen Daddy."

Song Renzong beckoned to Zhao Yang, smiled lovingly and said, "Come on, tell Dad, what happened in court today?"

"Father, there is no major event in the peace of the world, it is still a small matter." Sitting beside Song Renzong's bed, Zhao Yang told his father in detail what had been reported to the ministers in the morning.

Chen Meiren brought Zhao Yang a cup of tea: "His Royal Highness, please use tea."

"Thank you." Zhao Yang reached out to take the teacup.

Chen Meiren retreated quietly.Every time Zhao Yang came to talk to Song Renzong, she would retreat very tactfully, and would never stay to listen to Song Renzong and the others discuss political affairs.

After Song Renzong heard what his son had said, he asked his son how to deal with it.

Zhao Yang said that he would deal with it like Yan Xiang and the others.It's not an important matter, Zhao Yang will not "care about it", and will agree with Yan Shu's handling.Of course, if it involves major matters, such as Liao Xia, he will never compromise.However, Yan Shu and the others would not tell him about this kind of thing.

After chatting with Song Renzong for a while, Zhao Yang left, and he had to go to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Cao.

In Kunning Palace, Miao Zhaorong and Empress Cao are making zongzi.

In a while, it will be the Duanyang Festival. Empress Cao and the others made zongzi in advance.

Zhao Yang first saluted Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong, and then sat aside, drinking milk tea and eating snacks, while watching Empress Cao and the others make zongzi.

Empress Cao asked with concern if anything happened in the next morning, Zhao Yang said that it was still the same, a bunch of small things, nothing important.

Miao Zhaorong said that it's good to have small things, so that the officials don't have to worry about it.

After finishing wrapping the zongzi in her hand, Empress Cao stopped, sat opposite Zhao Yang, and asked softly, "What do you think about the things Madam Madam told you before?"

After taking a sip of milk tea, Zhao Yang asked blankly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that her son didn't remember, Empress Cao smiled helplessly: "It's a torrent."

"Tao Tao?" Zhao Yang didn't remember who it was for a while, and asked with question marks all over his head, "Who is Tao Tao?"

"Pretend to me." Empress Cao reached out and tapped Zhao Yang's forehead, "Gao Taotao, your cousin."

"Oh, it's her." Zhao Yang finally remembered who Gao Taotao was.

"How did you think about it?" Empress Cao narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Don't tell your lady that you didn't think about it."

Zhao Yang was a little guilty, his eyes dodged, and he smiled flatteringly at Empress Cao: "How dare I forget what my lady told me." That day, after Empress Cao told Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang left Kunning Palace Just forget about it.

Empress Cao didn't see that her son was guilty, but she pretended not to know.

"Then what are you thinking about, can you see Tao Tao?"

"See you!" Zhao Yang couldn't tell that Empress Cao's tone was very dangerous.

Empress Cao was very satisfied with this answer, and smiled gently at her son: "Okay, I will let Tao Tao enter the palace in two days."

"Ma'am, there is something I have to say." Zhao Yang said cautiously.

"What?"

"Is this...cousin's cousin not very good?" As a modern person, he really couldn't accept his cousin getting married.

Empress Cao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with my cousin?"

"Blood relationship." Zhao Yang said sternly, "It's not good for people with blood relationship to be together."

Empress Cao thought there was something wrong, but it turned out to be because of this.

"You are not related by blood, so you can rest assured."

"No blood relationship?" Zhao Yang looked surprised, "Isn't Gao Taotao your niece? How could it be possible that I have no blood relationship?"

"Tao Tao is an adopted daughter, not your aunt's biological daughter." Gao Tao Tao is the adopted daughter of Empress Cao's cousin, who was picked up by her cousin on the side of the road.Her cousin had given birth to several sons and had always wanted a daughter, but she had difficulty delivering her youngest son and has been unable to conceive since then.Fortunately, God took pity on her and gave her a daughter.

"Ah, adopted daughter?" Zhao Yang was surprised, "Isn't it my biological daughter?"

"Yes, not your own daughter. Your aunt picked up Tao Tao on the side of the road." Empress Cao said, "Although Tao Tao was not born by your aunt, your aunt treats her as her own."

"So that's the case." Zhao Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it's not good to be an adopted daughter, otherwise he really couldn't accept it.

"Don't worry now?" Empress Cao didn't expect her son to care about blood relationship.It is very common for cousins ​​or cousins ​​to get married, but it turns out that it will not work when it comes to sons.

"Don't worry." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Auntie, have they helped my cousin find her biological parents?"

"I've looked for it, but I haven't found it, so I probably won't be there anymore." Empress Cao pinched her son's soft face and warned, "Tao Tao doesn't know that she is not your aunt's biological daughter, so you don't want to be in front of her." Talk about slipping."

"Ma'am, don't worry, I will never say anything!" After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he raised his right hand to make an oath, "I promise!"

Empress Cao was still relieved of her son's guarantee.

"That's good."

Miao Zhaorong interrupted at this time: "His Royal Highness, this girl Tao Tao is very good."

"Little lady, have you seen it?" Zhao Yang asked again, "When did you see it?"

"I met you several years ago." Miao Zhaorong also sat down to rest, "The little girl is very beautiful, soft-spoken, and very well-behaved. She is obviously younger than Fukang, but she is more stable than Fukang. "

Zhao Yang was at a loss: "Then why haven't I seen it?" Every year on important festivals, someone from Cao's family would enter the palace. He has a good memory, and indeed he has never seen Gao Taotao.

"You went to Xiangguo Temple at that time, so you didn't see her." In recent years, Gao Taotao often followed her mother into the palace to greet Empress Cao.However, every time she came, Zhao Yang went to Xiangguo Temple, so they never met.

"Oh oh oh."

"Your Highness, Tao Tao is really good." Miao Zhaorong smiled, "If Fukang can be half as sensible and disciplined as Tao Tao, I will be happy."

"Tao Tao is a smart child." When mentioning her niece, Empress Cao was relieved, "Although she is doted on by her mother and brothers, she is not arrogant at all."

"If it's Fukang, I don't know what it will look like." Miao Zhaorong teased Zhao Yang, "His Royal Highness, you will like Taotao."

"Really?" Zhao Yang said arrogantly, "Whether you like it or not will be discussed after I see you." In fact, the lady is right. Instead of waiting to grow up and marry the concubine chosen by the ministers, it is better Marry someone you grew up with.Furthermore, when he grows up, he will be very busy, and he will have no time to talk about love, let alone run in.

Finding someone who grew up will save a lot of work.Besides, the two grew up together, and they understand each other's temperament and hobbies very well, so it's natural to get along like this.

"You will definitely like it." Miao Zhaorong said very firmly.

Zhao Yang said lightly, "Oh."

After talking to Empress Cao and the others for a while, Zhao Yang took Cao Xu back to Funing Palace.

On the way back, Cao Xu smiled ambiguously: "Your Highness, Sister Taotao is really beautiful."

"have you seen?"

"Of course I've seen it." Cao Xu said with a smile, "Your Highness, Sister Taotao is wonderful, very gentle. We all like her very much, and we all like to play with her."

"is it?"

Cao Xu nodded again and again: "Sister Taotao is not only beautiful, but also very smart." After finishing speaking, he hastily said, "Everyone in the family says that Sister Taotao looks like an aunt."

"It looks like a lady, where does it look like?"

"You have the same temper, and you're as smart as your aunt."

As smart as his grandma, that's true.In history, Gao Taotao had the same political talent as Empress Cao, and assisted three generations of emperors.

"Your Highness, Sister Tao Tao is very good." Cao Xu said seriously, "Sister Tao Tao is really good!"

Next, Cao Xu naggingly told Zhao Yang a lot about Gao Taotao.

Zhao Yang couldn't laugh or cry when he saw that Cao Xu was bewildered by Gao Taotao.

Back in the Imperial Study Room of Funing Palace, Cao Xu was still talking about Gao Taotao, Zhao Yang got a little impatient, so he had to cover his mouth with his hand.

"I know your sister Taotao is fine, can you shut up?"

Cao Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently.

Only then did Zhao Yang let go, and then wiped his hand on Cao Xu's arm.

Cao Xu: "..." Your Highness, what you are doing is going too far.

At this time, Yan Shu came over and taught Zhao Yang a lesson.

Zhao Yang went down to court every day, and after greeting Empress Cao, he would study with Yan Shu.

Some time ago, Zhao Yang finished reading "Mencius" with Yan Shu, and now he is studying "Great Learning".

The class didn't end until noon.

Zhao Yang went to Song Renzong's bedroom and had lunch with his father.

Song Renzong's appetite will be much better if he eats with his son.

After lunch, Song Renzong asked Zhao Yang about Gao Taotao.

"Did your mistress tell you?"

"Say it." Zhao Yang nodded lightly, "Madam let her enter the palace in the future and let me meet her."

"I've seen this girl before. She's a nice girl." In fact, Song Renzong didn't want Zhao Yang's concubine to be from the Cao family, but he had to say that Empress Cao's niece was excellent in all aspects and worthy of Zhao Yang's concubine. Yang.

When Zhao Yang heard this, his expression was very surprised.

Song Renzong was amused by his son's unbelievable expression: "What is your expression?"

Zhao Yang looked at Song Renzong, and said meaningfully: "Father, shouldn't you object to me marrying a girl from the Cao family?"

"I don't want you to marry a girl from the Cao family as a princess, but this girl Gao Taotao is indeed very good, and she can barely match you in every aspect."

"Daddy, don't you object?"

"Don't you want to recover Yanyun Sixteen States in the future, then it is right to marry the girl from the Cao family." Song Renzong said with deep meaning.

"Father, don't you object to my recovery of Yanyun Sixteen States?" Zhao Yang looked at Song Renzong strangely, "Why do you sound like you don't object to my recovery of Yanyun Sixteen States?"

"Is it useful for my objection?" Song Renzong said angrily, "When I'm gone, you'll still recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun, won't you?"

Zhao Yang was shocked when he heard the words: "Father, you are right."

"I knew it." Song Renzong's tone was helpless and conniving, "You are determined to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, so the Cao family is very important to you. If you marry a girl from the Cao family, it is considered a gift." The Cao family has taken a reassurance that the Cao family will fully support you."

Zhao Yang thought to himself, even if he didn't marry Gao Taotao, the Cao family would fully support him.

"Furthermore, Gao Taotao is also the daughter of the Gao family." Song Renzong's words had a deep meaning.

Zhao Yang instantly understood the meaning of Song Renzong's words: "Daddy, you are good or bad."

Seeing that his son understood what he meant, Song Renzong laughed and scolded: "You are a little heartless, dad is thinking of you."

Zhao Yang stood up and saluted Song Renzong deliberately: "Thank you, my son."

Song Renzong pointed at Zhao Yang: "You..." His tone was full of helplessness, but also full of pampering. "Daddy has no objection."

"Daddy, it doesn't matter whether you object or not."

Song Renzong raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter whether I object or not?"

Zhao Yang nodded and said: "It's important whether I agree or not. No matter how good you think she is, if I don't like her, everything is useless." He spread his hands deliberately and said, "I don't like her, so I won't let her accompany me. I grew up, so it doesn't matter whether you object or not."

Song Renzong laughed angrily at his son's words: "You little villain..."

Zhao Yang shrugged and said, "Wait until I see her."

On the side of Kunning Palace, Empress Cao personally sent Chunyu to Gao's house.

Chunyu relayed Empress Cao's words to Mrs. Gao verbatim.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gao was naturally very excited.

Chunyu said: "Madam, you must prepare well."

Mrs. Gao understood Chunyu's meaning: "Miss Chunyu, I understand." After speaking, she quickly asked a lot about Zhao Yang, such as what Zhao Yang likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat.What to do, what not to do...

Chunyu told Mrs. Gao about Zhao Yang's preferences in detail.

"By the way, His Royal Highness likes to be quiet and not noisy."

"The talk is quiet and not noisy."

"Also, His Highness the Crown Prince is very smart, so don't play tricks in front of him." Chunyu warned very sternly, "If Miss Gao has anything to say, just say it in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gao nodded with a serious look: "I see, what else?"

"There is nothing else." Chunyu saw that Madam Gao was very nervous, and smiled at her comfortingly, "Actually, His Highness the Crown Prince is very easy to get along with, so let Miss Gao not be too cramped to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

"I met Tao Tao when His Highness the Crown Prince was just born, but I haven't seen him since. It's impossible for her not to be nervous when seeing His Highness the Crown Prince." Even she hadn't seen His Highness the Crown Prince for several years.

"Don't be too scared." Chunyu talked to Mrs. Gao for a while before leaving.

Mrs. Gao personally sent Chunyu to the door, and then sent someone to Cao's house to call Gao Taotao back.

As soon as Gao Taotao came back, he heard Mrs. Gao say that he would enter the palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and his heart immediately became uneasy, and at the same time he was very much looking forward to it.
