The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"It should be, but the child doesn't know what it is now. Anyway, we will know it after Dr. Lu sorts it out later." Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Well, the prince has so many teachers. Since Lu Deming has his own things to do now, and he is so devoted to this matter, it is not good for him to disturb him.

It is better to help him. If he really writes a book in the future, it will be a blessing for the court and the Tang Dynasty.

An emperor's civil and military achievements are in all aspects. If the ministers of the court have made remarkable achievements, the emperor will also have face.

After all, the history books will record what happened in the Zhenguan years.

The banquet has been prepared in Da'an Palace, and the royal children have gathered here one after another.

There are Li Shimin's half-brothers and Li Shimin's children, but most of them are young, and their mothers take them to the table.

This was the first time that Li Yuan held a family dinner in Da'an Palace before the New Year's Day.

He didn't have this idea last year, but this year it was okay. He was in a good mood and thought about getting together before the New Year's Day. He didn't care what the inner court would do on or after the New Year's Day.

Li Yuan was changing clothes in the palace.

The eunuch walked in cautiously and stood aside, not daring to speak.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Li Yuan said, "Don't be timid."

"Your Majesty, it's... it's Concubine Zhang."

"What's wrong? Isn't she sick?" Li Yuan said nonchalantly.

"Zhang Jieyu heard that there was a family banquet in Da'an Palace today, and she wanted to come out to attend." The eunuch said, "I heard that the commotion was so serious that people around her found out and told the story of Zhang Jieyu."

"If you are sick, just stay in the palace. Why attend a family banquet?" Li Yuan said, "Let her rest well and recover her body first. It's the New Year, don't let others get sick."

"Yes." The eunuch responded hurriedly.

The eunuch walked out of the palace, sighing in his heart.

Zhang Jieyu was not sick at all. The so-called illness was just a name to win the emperor's mercy and let her go free.

I heard the noise inside just now. She is healthy.

But looking at the attitude of the emperor, this matter is probably mysterious.

The eunuch came to the palace where Zhang Jieyu was confined. The people guarding outside the palace saw him coming and hurried forward to ask.

"What did the emperor say? There's a lot of noise inside, people are throwing things and smashing things, just like crazy."

The eunuch shook his head.

"The emperor said that since you are sick, you should stay in the palace. It's not auspicious to come out during the New Year. There are so many people attending the family banquet, and there are many young princes. If the illness spreads to others, wouldn't it be bad?" The eunuch said, "You have to guard it well."

"Don't worry, no one inside will be allowed to come out."

After a brief exchange, the eunuch left in a hurry.

This place feels unlucky to stay for a moment longer.

Regarding the fact that Concubine Zhang was suddenly confined by the emperor, people in Da'an Palace also privately rumored that Prince Yi'an was sentenced to death for treason, and then Concubine Zhang was confined by the emperor.

Concubine Zhang used to have a lot of good things sent from outside the palace.

She colluded with people outside the palace and contacted the rebels. The emperor only confined her to her house, which was really kind to her.

In addition to today's incident, people in Da'an Palace knew that Concubine Zhang would have a great chance to turn things around in the future.

The main hall of Da'an Palace was bustling with activity. Li Yuan sat at the top with a rosy face, while Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat on the left.

As for Li Yuan's concubines, only Concubine Yin accompanied Li Yuan and sat on his right.

Concubine Yin has been keeping a low profile recently. Since she knew that Concubine Zhang was confined to her house by the emperor, she dared not say much, but served Li Yuan with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered.

Although Concubine Zhang was confined to her house, it was actually no different from being banished to the cold palace.

As for the reason, others did not know, but Concubine Yin knew it clearly.

When Prince Changle was still alive, they received gifts together.

Later, Prince Changle died, and she dared not contact anyone outside the palace.

As expected, Prince Yi'an was in trouble, and Concubine Zhang was also implicated.

Li Fu slept until the second half of the night, and when he woke up, there was still a maid on duty in the room.

When the maid saw Li Fu wake up, she hurried forward to help him up from the kang.

Li Fu now felt that he had little strength.

"What time is it now?" Li Fu asked.

"Three quarters of the yin hour." The maid said.Said: "Do you want something to eat, sir?"

While the maid was talking, she took a copper kettle from the shelf above the charcoal basin, poured some hot water, and handed it to Li Fu.

Li Fu took the hot water and thought about it.

"No, breakfast is in an hour, we can have it together then. Is there any cake in the room? I'll have some first." Li Fu said.

"Yes." The maid hurried to get the cake.

Li Fu's stomach was empty now, but he felt that he couldn't eat anything, so he had to make do with something first.

With tea, Li Fu ate two cakes.

"Find me some clothes." Li Fu said.

Anyway, after tossing around in this room for a while and changing clothes, it should be almost dawn.

"Why is my throat so uncomfortable?" Li Fu sat on the edge of the kang and frowned.

It hurts a little.

The maid said while sorting out the clothes she found for Li Fu.

"When you came back from outside, you were carried in. You were drunk. After entering the yard, you started shouting, shouting "awesome" and "broken silk". It was so loud that your voice was out of tune. Butler Zhao couldn't persuade you. You still shouted to the sky, saying "far ahead..."

"Ah?" Li Fu was stunned.

I shouted?

Why don't I remember it?

Didn't I fall asleep directly after getting drunk?

Is my drinking behavior so bad?

"Then what else did I shout?" Li Fu asked tentatively.

I didn't shout anything messy, right? Especially my own... origin.

"You also talked about the school in Zhuangzi, and about fooling people, and mentioned Dr. Lu and Mr. Xiao Yu." The maid said.

"No more?"

"No more." The maid replied.

Li Fu's heart was relieved.

That's good, it's not something to be said.

"That's fine. I talked to Dr. Lu about the school in Zhuangzi while we were drinking." Li Fu smiled awkwardly.

The maid suddenly realized.

So that's it. It turns out that what my husband shouted about when he was drunk was about the school.
