Chapter 146

In order to celebrate the triumphant return of all the soldiers, the emperor ordered a grand dinner to be held in the royal garden the next day, with all the civil and military officials and their families present.

In the evening, Emperor Zhu Yinxi was still reading the memorial in the imperial study. Because of the drought and food shortage in the south, the emperor had a headache.

Just as he was putting down his writing brush, Gao Rui bowed himself and said in a soft voice, "emperor, the celebration banquet is about to begin. Which lady will the emperor let accompany him today?"

As soon as the emperor heard this, his eyebrows began to frown. Then he remembered that the empress LV Yunzhen had been forbidden to face the wall for more than a month. It was the end of January, so he sighed: "go! Pass on my decree, and let the queen and the virtuous concubine accompany me

"Yes! I'm going to inform the empress and the virtuous concubine. " Gao Gonggong is in a hurry to see the empress LV Yunzhen in her bedroom.

Lu Yunzhen has been ignored by the emperor for her involvement in the abolition of Prince Li Youmao. Last month, the emperor suspected her of the death of Princess LAN. Although there is no evidence to prove that the queen did it, the emperor still gave her a punishment of forbidding her to face the wall.

At the moment, she is sitting in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror. The nearly 40 year old queen, though her palace dress is gorgeous and elegant, is not as beautiful as a young girl. She has fishtail lines in her eyes. Compared with a group of beauties selected every three years in the palace, she is already "old and yellow" by how much rouge she pours.

Just at this time, the eunuch came to report: "back to the empress, the fourteenth Prince has come to greet you!"

"Let him in!"

In the blink of an eye, wearing a embroidered red boa robe, Zhu Youbin stepped in. He is a very handsome young man with a fine figure and a fine face. He is only 15 years old.

Just entering the door, he knelt down happily to greet his mother and said with a smile, "mother, guess what treasure you got today?"

When the queen heard this, she was out of breath! She had two sons and a princess. But now there is only one little son, Zhu Youbin.

However, although this son is as lovely as jade, he is the most unsuccessful one among all the princes. If not, as her queen, the child should have been made the crown prince long ago, even if she grew up orderly.

Every day, he only likes fighting crickets, playing with flowers and birds, reading useless poems, songs and Fu, saying that he doesn't like to practice martial arts, and he doesn't like reading the chapters on governing the country designated by Taifu. At most, his piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can still get into the eyes of the emperor.

"What evil things are you playing with? Have you been familiar with the articles of Taifu Jiao? Did your father ask you about your lessons recently Knowing that the emperor had recently been provoked by the state of Yue, she only asked the son about his lessons, but the queen was used to asking this question as soon as she saw his son.

Zhu Youbin shriveled his mouth and said, "mother, you know that your children's ministers don't like the articles about Lao Shizi's governing the country. You have a headache when you read them. It's better to catch a cricket, that's exciting

"Kneel down! The thing that doesn't grow! If the empress doesn't teach you hard, you should be serious! Get a whip

As soon as empress Lu's voice fell, Zhu Youbin immediately lifted up her robe, knelt down on the ground, presented her back and said, "empress mother, last night, my father had ordered someone to smoke her children's ministers. At this moment, her back is so hot that she can also smoke her children."

When empress Lu saw it, it didn't matter. When she saw it, her heart was seized! The son's back, one by one, crisscross, is full of whipping marks.
