The prosperity of the lightships on the Qinhuai River is unparalleled in the world.
At night, various colored gauze lanterns are lit up in the river houses on both sides of the river, complementing the bright lights on the cruise boats.
When the mist rises on the river, the light halo disperses, and the Qinhuai River becomes a dazzling star river. The river house becomes a fairy mountain beside the star river. On the mountain, there are carved railings and painted sills, silk curtains on the windows, and ten-mile bead curtains, all filled with the fragrance of Luoqi.
Fairy fairies dance gracefully in the melodious music, competing for their beauty.
The pleasure boat and the painted boat became a fairy boat, carrying the princes, princes, grandsons, and beauties, wandering in the fairyland of the stars and rivers. The ultimate happiness in the world is nothing more than this.
~~
"The Qinhuai River is beautiful during the day, but it is basically the same as the scenery elsewhere in the south of the Yangtze River. But it is the most beautiful place after nightfall. This is the most beautiful place in the world. I will not accept any objection!"
Zhu Zhen explained to the two girls loudly.
In order for them to better appreciate the boundless Qinhuai scenery, he also ordered people to remove all the window sash, allowing the beautiful scenery to flow into the cabin.
Although Liu Li and Xu Miaoqing grew up on the banks of the Qinhuai River, how could they never go home so late?
This was naturally the first time they had seen such a wonderful sight of "Fire Trees and Silver Flowers Never Night". The two girls couldn't help but be dazzled and deeply immersed in the fairyland-like night of Yaochi.
Hu Xian and Deng Duo were even more convinced. His Highness was so awesome, he actually took his two beloved girls on a night tour in the red light district...
~~
Of course, it was not good for the girls to go back too late. In addition, Liu Li and Miaoqing also felt sorry for Lao Liu, who had been tired for half a month, and wanted him to rest early. So after dinner, the tour ended...
At this time, the palace was closed, and Lao Liu was going to stay at his grandpa's house for a night, so that he could send the girl home.
Dagongfang is right next to it, so I send Xu Miaoqing first.
When Miss Xu Er got off the boat, she stretched out her white hand towards him.
Lao Liu held it naturally and said, "Goodbye."
"Don't be ridiculous." Miss Xu Er grabbed him and said shyly with a red face: "I asked you to get your homework."
"Didn't I say that I would never go there again?" Lao Liu said, "The book boxes are all thrown there."
"Did the Emperor agree?" Miss Xu Er blinked her big eyes, as bright as stars.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." Lao Liu said in a muffled voice.
"Then I'd better write it to you first." Liu Li also said, "What if the emperor doesn't agree? Why don't you get arrested?"
"Isn't it possible?" Lao Liu said in a rough voice: "Back then... my father said, you can stay with me for as long as you want!"
"But your time is too short." Xu Miaoqing said softly: "It has only been one month. Have you completed the emperor's mission?"
"Uh..." Lao Liu said sarcastically, "But I have thrown away all my book boxes."
"Your Highness, I picked it up for you." Deng Duo hurriedly presented the treasure and said, "After thinking about it, this is something that His Highness has used. How can you give them an advantage?"
"Thank you, Yiha..." Lao Liu felt very bad.
~~
The next day, Lao Liu was sleeping soundly in the Zhonglihou Mansion when someone woke him up.
"Damn it, didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to disturb me?!" Zhu Zhen was so angry that he cursed his mother.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you." The eunuch who delivered the order caught the pillow he threw over and said, dumbfounded, "This slave has been waiting for half an hour."
"Oh, I don't even want to sleep in..." Zhu Zhen said as he looked out the window and saw that it was almost noon... Then he said sadly: "Wait for me for a while."
After a while, he dressed neatly, asked his aunt to roll some meat cakes, then got in the car and hurried back to the palace.
When he got off the bus at the gate of the palace, he had already eaten three meat cakes and a pot of tea. Then he felt no longer hungry, so he got out of the car, patted the food remnants on his body, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
~~
In the Qianqing Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was eating snacks while reading memorials. When he was young, he still had the old habit of eating two meals a day, morning and evening. At noon, he usually had some snacks and snacks while working.
In his words, this saves one meal a day, which means 360 meals a year. How much more can be done.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived." Eunuch Wu reported softly.
"You brat, we're finally here." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and cursed, but subconsciously speeded up his hand speed, trying to stuff all the snacks on the plate into his mouth.
Eunuch Wu stared at the emperor in stunned silence. As soon as he heard that King Chu had arrived, he couldn't help but start devouring...
‘No, no, no…’ he said in his heart. No matter how tight the life in the palace was, the snacks would still be enough.
Fortunately, when the last few snacks were left, Boss Zhu finally remembered that he was still a father, and reluctantly stopped and said: "What are you doing standing around, tell him to come in."
"Yes." Eunuch Wu withdrew his gaze and hurried out to invite King Chu into the palace.
~~
"My son, I pay my respects to my father." Zhu Zhen went up to the palace to salute, looked around and said, "Eldest brother is not here."
"He has just returned to Wenhua Hall and is preparing to undergo Hajj." Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly: "Have you eaten?"
"We made up a few bites on the way," Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Here's a snack if you're not full." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the snack left for him.
There is one for Lao Liu, okay, there are three snacks left on the plate. Among them, there is a tooth mark on one of the snacks... Just like the father's love of Lao Liu, there is some, but not much.
"Thank you, Father." He was not polite and swept away the two snacks, leaving only the half of the old thief to eat the rest.
"Don't waste it." Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him.
"Yes..." Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes depressedly, picked up the half and ate it too.
"Haha, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction, and then chatted: "You did it right last time, but it was not right either."
"What?" Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then understood and said: "Father, the emperor said that the son minister should deal with the matter of the seventh and eighth children?"
"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "You have done a good job in disciplining the evildoers. Those lawless evildoers should be severely beaten! After you finished beating them, we gave them eighty lashes each, until they were both beaten.
I can’t get out of bed now…”
"Good guy..." Zhu Zhenxin said, "Good guy, this is so satisfying."
"But you shouldn't use your eldest brother's banner." Zhu Yuanzhang lectured him again in a deep voice:
"You can use our name, or simply use your own name, and be the elder brother's teacher to the younger brother. Isn't it a matter of course?"
"But you are using your eldest brother's banner, what if the seventh and eighth elders have a grudge against him?" The prince is indeed his biological son, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to leave any hidden dangers for him.
"Yes, I have remembered it." Zhu Zhen responded hurriedly: "Next time something like this happens again, I will use my own banner to ask them to come to my father to complain if they are dissatisfied."
"Hahaha, that's right." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and nodded.
Zhu Zhen observed what he said and saw that the old thief was in a good mood, so he wanted to take the opportunity to mention it and stop going to Guozi to learn from him.
"What new experiences have you gained from studying in Guozi?" Boss Zhu asked first.
"I'm tired, I'm so tired." Zhu Zhen vomited his bitterness and said: "Father, Song Ne is a pervert. If you let him go, he will torture all the students of the Imperial Academy to death!"
After saying that, he told his father about his hard experience in the past half month.
