Emperor Jianwen, who had a night of pleasure, was an hour late for court the next morning.
As soon as Emperor Jianwen appeared, his steps were sloppy and his eyes were green, the old ministers' hearts sank.
The emperor was so obsessed with women that he missed the morning court meeting. This is not a sign of a wise king!
Emperor Jianwen has been on the throne for more than ten years. In these more than ten years, although Emperor Jianwen has not made any achievements in opening up territories and conquests, he can be regarded as a diligent emperor. Except for being unable to get up due to illness, he has never missed the morning.
But in recent days, this is the third time.
As the chief assistant, Mr. Lu Ge has to speak out to give advice.
However, this advice must be measured and measured. It must not be said outright that the emperor is addicted to beauty.
Mr. Lu Ge looked worried and said: "Not long after the emperor recovered from his illness, he began to deal with state affairs in the morning. All the ministers were moved by this."
"It's just that the emperor can't injure the dragon body because of this! I kindly ask the emperor to rest for a while before going to court in the morning."
Those who are qualified to participate in the small court meeting are all important officials of the third rank or above. Every one of them is obedient and obedient.
Mr. Lu Ge opened his mouth, and Mr. Fang Ge continued: "What Mr. Lu Ge said is absolutely true. I also believe that the emperor should focus on the dragon body and should not overwork himself."
Mr. Yan Ge also said: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body!"
The courtiers are so reserved and tactful!
It was obviously "working" too much between the bed and the bed, but in the eyes of the courtiers, it just turned into working on state affairs... Of course, no matter how "working", the most important thing is to take care of the dragon's body!
Emperor Jianwen smiled happily and said: "My beloved ministers care so much about my dragon body, which shows that they are loyal to me, and I feel very relieved."
With one word, all the ministers were dismissed.
What else can the ministers do?
After quietly exchanging glances, they stopped mentioning it and started discussing state affairs.
…
Among the princes, only the second prince has reached adulthood and has begun to listen to the government.
After the morning court was dismissed, the second prince went to Concubine Li Xian's palace and had lunch with Concubine Li Xian.
Concubine Li Xian couldn't help but talk about a few things in the harem: "... Nowadays, the Jiaofang Hall is very popular. The emperor rests in the Jiaofang Hall every day and is almost obedient to the queen. Yesterday, the Queen Mother went to the Jiaofang Hall, but she didn't even
Well done."
"Now, no one in this harem can compete with the Queen."
The second prince said calmly: "My mother and concubine can live their own lives peacefully and don't have to worry about these things."
Concubine Li Xian had been in the palace for many years, and she was very proud for a while when she gave birth to the second prince. However, the good times did not last long, and she soon fell out of favor because of the second prince's oral disease.
Fortunately, she was granted the title of concubine and had Empress Dowager Li's support, so her life in the palace was not difficult.
Concubine Li Xian was willing to listen to her son's words, and sighed after hearing the words: "I just muttered a few words casually. Even if I want to ask about such things, I don't have the ability."
After thinking for a while, she whispered again: "I estimate that Concubine Li will be killed this time."
"I heard that she was the one who instigated the Queen Mother to go to Jiaofang Palace to pick a fight. I never thought that the Queen Mother would be very angry. Sooner or later, this anger will be spread on her head."
What Concubine Li Xian had expected was true.
Within two days, news came that Concubine Li had misbehaved in Cining Palace and was reprimanded by the Queen Mother.
As the queen of the middle palace, Queen Yu naturally could not sit idly by and ignore the situation. She immediately summoned the unfortunate Concubine Li to Jiaofang Hall and scolded her severely. Then, she punished Concubine Li by being grounded for a month.
After Emperor Jianwen learned about this, he simply said: "The queen is kind-hearted, but the punishment is too light. Concubine Li is grounded for three months."
…
The movement in the palace was reported to Songzhu Academy.
After the fourth prince learned about this, his handsome face seemed to have been frozen, and he didn't say a word for half a day.
The teacher who was teaching the class saw that the situation was not good and was stunned for half a day without even taking a step closer.
After school ended, the fourth prince left the academy with a sullen face.
Sheng Xuan and Lu Chi followed closely behind.
Li Mo had been ill since he came back from hunting in the spring. After recovering from the illness, he came to the academy, but he lost his usual free and uninhibited look and looked depressed and depressed. He walked slowly and soon fell behind by a large distance.
cut.
"Why is Your Highness in a bad mood today?" Sheng Xuan caught up and asked in a low voice.
The news in the harem has always been hidden from those who are interested. Sooner or later, the news of Concubine Li being punished and grounded will spread.
The fourth prince was in a gloomy mood and did not hide it. He said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law was reprimanded by the imperial grandmother and the queen, and she was fined and grounded for three months."
Sheng Xuan frowned.
In the harem, the mother is more valuable than the son. The opposite is also true. If the biological mother is favored, the prince will also have dignity. Concubine Li was scolded and severely punished one after another, which was like a slap in the face of the fourth prince.
No wonder the fourth prince was in such a bad mood.
It is inconvenient for anyone to offer words of comfort for things like this.
Sheng Xuan remained silent, and Lu Chi couldn't say much, so he comforted her calmly: "Your Highness should return to the palace as soon as possible to comfort Concubine Li."
The fourth prince hummed, and his eyes suddenly fell on Lu Chi's waist.
…
Lu Chi's waist hung with a jade pendant.
Today, there is an exquisite network on the shiny jade pendant.
Unlike Li Mo, who is high-profile and public by nature, Lu Chi behaves in a rather low-key manner and is not well-dressed. Where does the network on the jade pendant come from?
Lu Chi saw the fourth prince staring at Luo Zi, his handsome face blushing slightly.
Sheng Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Oh! Could this be a gift from your sister from the Lin family?"
Lu Chijun's face turned redder, but he did not deny it.
Li Mo also stepped forward at this time. Seeing Lu Chi's secretly happy look, Li Mo felt even more self-pitying. Lu Chi had a connection from his sweetheart, but he didn't even have his sweetheart...
The fourth prince finally spoke: "Has your marriage to Miss Lin been decided?"
Otherwise, Lin Weiwei would not give such a gift to Lu Chi, and Lu Chi would not wear it openly.
Lu Chi hummed: "We had a Geng Tie two days ago."
The bright eyes are full of joy.
After signing the Geng Tie ceremony, it was time to make an engagement and sign a marriage contract. From then on, they waited to marry their beloved sister Lin.
Sheng Xuan smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations Ziyu!"
Li Mo also cheered up and said with a smile: "Such a happy event is worthy of celebration, so you have to treat us to a drink."
Lu Chi smiled and agreed without hesitation.
Lu Chi and Li Mo were of the same age, both seventeen years old. It would be a suitable age for them to get married in one or two years.
The fourth son of Songzhu, the fourth prince was the first to make a marriage arrangement, followed by Lu Chi. Hearing that the Huainan Palace was also arranging the marriage for Sheng Xuan, only Li Mo was left alone.
It's not that the Li family didn't want to get Li Mo engaged, but when he mentioned the marriage, Li Mo felt like needles pricking him. The seven-foot-old boy was really pitiful when he cried bitterly.
The Li family had no choice but to let him go temporarily and wait until he forgot about the "sixth princess" before proposing marriage.
The fourth prince was already in a gloomy mood, but when he saw Lu Chi's happy brows, it became even more dazzling, and he walked away with a gloomy face. (To be continued)
