The prince is very fierce

After the court meeting, the Chengqing Hall in the imperial city was filled with music and singing. Civil and military officials sat in it with their wives and children. Dancers performed grand and graceful court dances. The huge palace accommodated hundreds of people.

The emperor of the time had always been frugal, and with the censors like Qi Xinghan nitpicking, such banquets for the emperor and his officials to enjoy themselves were rarely held. Only on major occasions such as the emperor's birthday and the birth of a prince would a banquet be held for the officials.

In the morning, officials from various families suddenly received news to go to the palace for a banquet. They thought that a concubine in the harem was pregnant, or that the emperor had the intention of establishing a queen, so they all ran to the banquet in a very solemn manner.

As a result, Eunuch Jia said: "The emperor got a good talent yesterday, and he wrote three poems, all of which are masterpieces that are rare in a century. He was very pleased and invited all the officials to enjoy themselves."

Good guy, just for three poems, he called all the civil and military officials to the palace to "enjoy themselves". Did he think that the officials would just stay at home and do nothing after leaving the palace?

We need a "good talent". No one in the whole court has ever received this treatment. Does that mean that all the people present are mediocre?

The censors, who were almost like decorations, finally caught the emperor's tail. They ran to Chengqing Hall in a rage, as if they dared to scold the emperor back to the imperial study if he dared to come out.

Of course, there were also court officials who had eyes. Song Ji was impeccable in every aspect after he ascended the throne. It was natural for him to relax a little. What if he got sick from overwork?

So, many court officials began to be weird with Qi Xinghan and other censors. The two groups quarreled before the emperor came out.

This kind of scene is very common. If the court is as quiet as a stagnant pool of water, there will be a real problem. The rest of the court officials are just watching the show. Anyway, the New Year is coming soon, and they should celebrate it.

Most people's minds are still on the words of the emperor. What kind of poems can make the emperor, who always pays attention to the monarch's demeanor, make such a big scene?

If he brings out a poem "One piece after another, two pieces, three pieces, four or five pieces" later, even without the old man Qi taking action, the old scholars in the Imperial College will be upset. After all, this will affect the image of the monarch of the Central Plains too much. If the historians record two pieces, it will be infamous for thousands of years.

Compared with the verbal battles between men, women actually have a lot of intrigues.

There are many ladies and young ladies present. Those who don't have sons like Song Baiqing brought their daughters here. The chief priest of the Imperial College is also called the "national teacher", so he has this qualification.

Song Yufu sat alone among a group of ladies and young ladies. Her quiet little face was not very happy, but a little worried, because she felt that something was wrong today.

Three poems!

Alarmed the whole court!

Song Yufu guessed a little bit with a little association. At this time, she felt uneasy, as if she had imagined the scene of Xu Da Shizi rushing over, stripping her clothes and hanging her up to beat her.

If it was just that, it would be fine. She had become Xu Shizi's "girlfriend" during this period of time. Xu Shizi should not beat her, at least not take off his clothes to beat her, but the person sitting next to her was Lu Hongluan, Xu Shizi's aunt.

At this time, Song Yufu sat upright, not even daring to move her eyes, because she noticed that Madam Lu next to her was looking at her with a very strange look, and had been staring at her for a long time.

Song Yufu was a junior after all, and it was not good to sit like this all the time. She really couldn't bear it, so she turned her head.

Who would have thought that Madam Lu's charming face would immediately turn back and look elsewhere, as if nothing had happened.

"..."

Song Yufu hesitated, and bowed very gently:

"Mrs. Lu?"

"Hmm?"

Mrs. Lu sat in a very elegant posture, and turned her head when she heard the voice, with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"Hmm..."

Song Yufu pursed her lips, but she didn't know what to say. After a moment of thinking, she thought of a topic: "Didn't Prince Xu come today?" After all, the only connection between the two was knowing Xu Buling, and there was no other topic besides this.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, her gentle face froze for a moment, and then quickly recovered as before, smiling and replied: "I just went to the Su Wang Mansion, and I don't know where Buling went. He didn't come."

Today, the emperor is holding a banquet for all the ministers. Xu Buling's status should be present, and Mrs. Lu doesn't like such crowded occasions. She also went to the Su Wang Mansion early in the morning with the intention of taking her precious child to relieve boredom.

The result is conceivable. Mrs. Lu not only did not find Xu Buling, but also found that Xu Buling did not return home at night and went out to hang out all night.

Worry, doubt, suspicion...

All kinds of emotions lingered in her heart. If she hadn't known that Xu Buling had left the palace last night, Madam Lu would have suspected that the Queen Mother had asked Xu Buling to stay in the palace.

How old is Xu Buling? An 18-year-old kid is most likely to be deceived by some bad women. What if he is deceived...

Madam Lu has been thinking about these things all morning. The more she thinks, the more uneasy she feels. She stared at Song Yufu just now and also had doubts in her mind, but looking at the weak body of this girl, she couldn't do anything to make Xu Buling unable to get out of bed. At this time, she was slightly relieved, but she was even more confused about where Xu Buling went...

Song Yufu was a little nervous. Seeing that Madam Lu was a little worried, she hooked the hair by her ear and whispered:

"Xu Buling is a martial arts master, a high position, and a quick mind. He must have gone to do serious work. Madam, don't worry."

Song Yufu knew that Xu Buling was "hiding his shortcomings". Madam Lu was her own, so she told the truth.

But Madam Lu and Mr. Song Yu were not familiar with each other, so she naturally did not nod at the moment, but sighed quietly:

"How can you do anything serious if you don't have to be stupid since you were a child and only have brute strength?"

Song Yufu blinked. She knew that Mrs. Lu was very strict and Xu Buling often avoided Mrs. Lu. In her opinion, Xu Buling was a sensible and true gentleman, and there was no need to keep an eye on him.

Perhaps it was because these words had been hidden in her heart for a long time. Song Yufu hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Although Prince Xu is...well...a little reckless, he was born in a prince's family and he still understands the etiquette and rules. In fact...in fact, Madam does not need to be so strict with Prince Xu."

"Um?!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she sat up a little straighter with her charming figure, and her hands under the desk subconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt - do you think I'm being too lenient? No one has ever said that to me...

“Excessive correction often has the opposite effect.”

Song Yufu couldn't read minds, so she couldn't understand what the lady in front of her was thinking. She said seriously:

"Madam pushes too hard, Prince Xu won't be able to bear it."

This can be regarded as teaching others how to care for their husbands and children.

Mrs. Lu was born into a wealthy family and has been learning this all her life. She was a little unhappy to be taught by a junior:

"Miss Song, how do you know that Ling Hui can't bear it? Could it be that he has complained to you?"

One answer is enough to ensure that there will be no life or death.

Fortunately, Song Yufu's emotional intelligence was not that low yet. How could she instigate other people's relationships behind their backs? She just nodded and smiled slightly:

"His Majesty Xu respects and loves Mrs. Lu, so he obeys and never refutes. Hmm... I also managed Prince Xu, but he was punished. His temper was very bad... I think Prince Xu doesn't like to be controlled by others. …”

These words made her feel comfortable. The look in Mrs. Lu's eyes softened. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip:

"I am his aunt, and he naturally respects and loves me... It is natural for the dignified Prince Su to have a temper. Miss Song must be careful in the future to avoid having a bad temper since she was a child. She has more than a hundred of them at the age of eighteen. It’s best to keep people’s lives at arm’s length, but don’t ever offend him…”

Song Yufu didn't want to offend Xu Buling, but she couldn't help it!

"...I know that if there is any offense against the Crown Prince in the future, please ask Madam to advise the Crown Prince."

"Yes. Don't just listen to me. If Miss Song is in trouble, you can come to me... But it's best for you to stay away from him and don't provoke him..."

"That's natural, thank you Madam..."

After a few words, the atmosphere between each other became so happy...
